We were on the island a week, and had dinner here twice. The prices for a decent burger can't be…read morebeat. I had the double cheeseburger for $12, and you can add almost any toppings you want for free. I had sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes and a couple other things for no extra cost. The small cup of fries for $4 was tasty and enough. The service was mediocre and setting is dive bar. It took close to 45 minutes for our food to be prepared, and when it came out, my wife's chicken tenders were warm, not hot. Like any restaurant, avoid the drinks and you can manage your bill. This was a great option for our family.

We kept it simple with Tito's and pineapple juice and it definitely hit the spot. The place itself has a really cool, casual vibe; dollar bills all over the walls and ceiling, open-air feel, just a great island bar atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and made everything easy and relaxed. We didn't try the food this time, but the menu looked really good and we'd definitely come back to check it out. Perfect place to hang out, grab a drink, and just enjoy the vibe.

De' Coal Pot in St. Thomas? What a hidden treasure tucked away in the Crosswind Center plaza on the…read moreEast End, near Smith Bay and Lindquist Beach, this spot's a bit of a challenge to find, like a secret level in an island adventure game. Bring plenty of cash (it's often cash-only or prefers it), and yeah, it can run a tad pricey for authentic Caribbean eats, but the payoff's huge: think phenomenal steamed red snapper, tender oxtail, creole chicken, and classic roti made with fresh, home-cooked love . The fun starts with the hunt itself out in the middle of nowhere vibes then bam, you're there, often with the place to yourself like we did late one night. Only one other couple rolled in mid-meal, decked out head-to-toe as Thing One and Thing Two from Dr. Seuss first-grade ridiculous, but it cracked us up and straight-up made my night. Five-star gem for genuine island flavor, quirky charm, and memories that stick worth every twist and turn to get there!

It's mainly an outdoor restaurant with a bar directly in the middle as you walk up the stairs see picture. This seems to be a local's spot. My kids were happy there was pizza on the menu. My wife ordered the ITP DELUXE, my kids ordered the CLASSIC CHEESE PIZZA with pepperoni and I have the TUNA POKE. Everything was on point and delicious. Brian our waiter was attentive and got our orders in quickly. They share bathroom's which were disgusting, usually if you follow my reviews you know I take away a star for bad bathrooms. This one was shared so I really couldn't. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Check the views on my pics.

I couldn't find the Patio as a Google Maps option, so here you go. For the record, this was a find, and we are so glad we chose to eat on the patio. The Patio is outside, so be aware. However, the prices are half of the restaurant and are more of a simple meal than the restaurant. Lexie was our server and, honestly, one of the best and more memorable servers I can remember having in a long time. She was professional and yet down to earth and conversational. We threw her questions, and she was honest about her recommendations. PLUS, she was right in her opinion! So, we ordered three items off the menu with the Ahi Nachos, Grilled Mahi Sandwich, and Mudpie being the items suggested. All three were great, and the nachos were a highlight until the HUGE Mudpie stole the show. Cold coffee ice cream with Oreo crust and chocolate drizzle hit the spot watching the sunset. At the end of the day, The Patio is spacious with a full bar and sits right on the beach. It can get warm, and when the sun went down, the bugs came out; however, it didn't take away from our meal and our incredible service from Lexie.

I recommend any of the appetizers, the pork chop, sea bass, red snapper, and filet mignon. Any dessert is so good ! The service there is phenomenal!!! Everybody is so nice and respectful. They are attentive so you can easily have what you need. Great people, great food, and great VIEWS. If you get lucky enough to be seated by the ocean, which just about everyone is, the views are just incredible!!! You can get great family pics and I even decided to take a photo of the view so you can see for yourself what it looks like from where I was sitting. Such a great place Definitely 5 Stars

There is no view of the marina or ocean, but the seating is all open air and they play great classic rock. The drink menu is limited but they have a full bar so you just need to ask for what you want. I started with the Reef Island IPA which is a very tasty and smooth IPA. The wife had a rum punch which she said was weak. For food, the kid had a burger but did not like it because it needed seasoning. I tried a bite and agreed. The fries were crispy. For entrees, the wife and I each had fish tacos: mine, blackened; hers, grilled, Mine were much better. Both were tasty and hit the spot. For $19, it was reasonable. I would order them again. Service was very attentive and friendly. They automatically add 20% tip to the bill, plus 4% for credit cards. So you don't have add any tip unless you want to. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the restaurant and the relaxed atmosphere.

I ordered the shrimp tacos, and the food tasted like it may have been frozen and reheated in the microwave. The jerk chicken also did not taste authentic -- it seemed like regular barbecue sauce was poured straight from the bottle over chicken.

Some of the worst I've ever had. My waitress Julia tried to say everyone has particular crab cakes tastes, but I told her these crab cakes were burnt and objectively bad. I will note that the mussels and soup were good. The Grouper and Wahoo were just okay. Overall this is a spot that you come to enjoy happy hour at as the drinks were good, but don't come expecting delicious food.

The wings were delicious but it's was mango jerk, so it had sweetness. The curry shrimp was rich and hearty and hit the right spots. The live music was really fun.

I feel bad for the resort though since the beach is completely covered in seaweed and pretty much unswimable. So still just a great time and will definitely return!!

The jerk chicken and rice and peas had the PERFECT amount of seasoning and heat. Doesn't take long to get your food either :) I will 100% be back to try the curry chicken/oxtail/fish dishes. I cannot wait There's not a whole lot of parking but you can park just up the road to the right of the truck. Also Vinny is a super cool+friendly guy who likes talking about sports! I believe they're closed on the weekends too so make sure you get there during the week. Promise you will enjoy it!

We were planning to go to Coki beach anyhow and we love good Caribbean fish so we came here on our way home from the beach. We were told to call ahead and tell Vinny what we wanted so he could start making it because it's made fresh - it takes at least an hour to make. We wanted red snapper, he only had yellowtail snapper that day but it was still really good! We ordered two meals which come with the whole cooked fish, rice and peas, and plantains. We took it back to our airbnb and had it with some cooked vegetables - it was enough for two meals for each me and my mother, and this was $70 in total, so not a bad deal! If it puts things in perspective, I read online that Brooke's bar has the best food on the island. I tried Brooke's a couple days after I came here (also ordered snapper there) - genuinely I did not notice a difference between here and the food from Brooke's, it's all just tasty! And if anything, I actually preferred Vinny's because he had the food ready when he said it would be ready, whereas when we called Brooke's 2 hours early and they said the food would be ready, it was NOT. There was a little picnic table here if you wanted to sit and eat, but we didn't. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot of ambiance, it's just along the road that leads to Coki beach.
