    We tried this place out while in Coral Bay for lunch because Skinny Legs was closed. It's one of the newer restaurants in the area. We were hoping for an average pizza but they far exceeded our expectations. We ordered a cheese and pepperoni. Very tasty thin crust pie. Good salad we well. We have tried every pizza place on SJ over the years and this one is definitely the best. Good painkillers too. Give this place a try.

    This place is amazing. The pizza is incredible and the atmosphere is fantastic. On our second visit I mentioned that I can't get my pizza at home to be this good. The owner brought me in the back and showed me exactly how he makes his dough! I'm happy to say that I followed his instructions when I got home and it was perfect. Just a great place with super friendly people. We can't wait to come back!

    I'm stunned that this place doesn't have a perfect rating. May be the best pizza I ever had and service was great.

The drinks are a little pricier, but taking into account you're in the middle of a national park with not much around, the prices make sense. Drinks absolutely delicious - we loved the pina colada! They have plenty of seating, so you can either stay and enjoy or take your drinks back to the beach across the street. I'm not sure if they're related or not, but there is a little food shop little right next to it with the same available seating. As with the drinks, food there is a little pricier but take into account where you are. We ordered the mahi bites. Absolutely delicious. Fish was solid enough to pick up but flaked apart in your mouth. Would totally order again. Great place to stop when you're enjoying the beach at Maho Bay.

When I returned them, he ran the tab on my credit card and said the total was $49.20, which was $8 more than it should have been. I asked him why it was so high and he said sales tax. I told him I didn't think sales tax was charged on St. John and he said it was charged everywhere in the Virgin Islands. Very suspicious, I left and waited for the receipt to come through text. The receipt showed that the $8 was a tip that Desitin had added without my knowledge. I went back and comfronted him and told him I know what he did and I don't appreciate it and I would be letting managagement know, then walked away. He chased me down and handed me $10 and said he wanted to "makes things right", but then proceeded to gaslight me into thinking this was all my fault. He said I should be grateful that he didn't double charge me on the rental. What??? I have tried to contact management, but I guess they don't want anyone to send complaints. The two phone numbers I found and one email address are total dead ends.

I'm an open-minded eater who travels a lot and will happily try almost anything--but even I met my match here. I ordered the jerk chicken plate with slaw and mac n cheese. The chicken was dry, but honestly the best part of the meal, which is saying something. The mac n cheese looked and tasted like it had been abandoned hours (or days?) ago--curdled, cold, and topped with a crust that could double as a roofing material. The slaw? One bite was all I could manage - a first in my 35 years on earth. A friend described it as "looks like slaw, tastes like a plastic bag," and I wish I could disagree. My partner's chicken salad sandwich didn't fare better. The bun was burned so black it looked like it had been broiled by the Caribbean sun itself, and the chicken salad had a sour tang that overpowered everything else. My friends shared the brisket plate; the brisket was good (truly!), but the sides were a continuation of the theme: barely edible at best. We ended up at a grocery store afterward, scavenging crackers and cookies to survive the night--never a great sign after paying Virgin Island prices for dinner. For what it's worth, the restaurant next door, Surf Club Cantina, was excellent. Do yourself a favor: eat there, and steer clear of Johnny Lime.

We got a bunch of different tacos to try, but I would say the two short ribs were definitely my favorites (although they were all good and I would happily eat again). The tacos were large so we were able to do two per person as a meal and felt pretty good. They are pricy by way of tacos, but it is well worth it for the experience and the flavor of the food. We took a charter out to the restaurant which I recommend doing, and shared a lily pad with another family (they are first come first served).
