    Curry chicken salad sandwich and Sour Sop Delight

    Very very good curry chicken salad. Fresh baked bread and some super nice bottled beverages. Will be back!

    Steve S.

    Turtle Deli came highly recommended from the owner o the house we're renting here in St. Croix. We stopped in here after a late morning tour of the Cruzan Rum distillery and got out sandwiches to go. This place has a very cool vibe and if it wasn't on a beach in Paradise I'd even say it had a Jersey deli vibe. A word of warning...the place is small on the inside where you order and it gets hot and crowded at lunchtime. With only 3 people there to make sandwiches and take orders the process is slow...but worth the wait. Overall it has a great ambiance as it is located right next to the beach. 8-10 tables to eat outside in the covered picnic area seems to be the right number as long as people don't linger. As we were HOT and I was fighting of the results of the rum tasting at the Cruzan distillery we got our sandwiches to go. These sandwiches are BIG and we were warned they were shareable...and they were. Wifey and daughter just got a turkey, American and lettuce on sourdough and my son and I split the Smokin' Chix - smoked turkey, bacon, smoked Gouda, cole slaw and Russian dressing on sourdough. Both sandwiches were delicious and were just the right size for sharing. Throw in a handful of chips and a beverage and you're ready to jump into whatever you want to do next. I'd probably give these guys five stars (let's say 4.5) if the sandwiches were a little cheaper and they weren't so SLOW because they were packed...$22 was definitely 'Island pricing', but they were Delish!

    The BEST and possibly largest club sandwich I've ever had. Was there on a cruise in October 2019 and stumbled on this place. Mom and Pop deli with nearly a dozen home made bread choices, fresh meats and veg. Sandwiches are crafted with love. Bonus there is a cool BIG cat that hangs out. This will be our first stop for lunch when we return November 10 2021.

    Freshly baked bread (even Pumpernickel!), freshly sliced meats and cheeses and tasty sauces and veggies. If I lived on the island, this would certainly be a regular hang for me. Love the outside seating area right off the beach and the owners were nice to chat with. The prices are a bit higher than I would typically expect to pay but it was worth it. Expect a bit of a wait because they slice everything up fresh upon ordering.

    The ultimate club sandwich

    Hands down, the best club sandwich I've ever had! Great menu and excellent hosts. A relaxing place overlooking the water. Do not miss it

    Amazing sandwiches!!!

    The first time we were in St Croix five years ago this place was a hit, and I'm happy to report that nothing has changed! We recently came here for lunch during our stay on STX and the sandwiches were just as amazing as I remember! Probably the best sandwiches on island, I wish this place was on STT!! I got their Turkey Ruben sandwich, and OMG SOOOO GOOD!! The bread is amazing, I think its marbled wheat bread, and I think its home made. Their meats are great quality, and the coleslaw has great flavor. There is also a special sauce on the sandwich that makes it absolutely perfect! The sandwiches are also huge too, you can easily eat just a half and save the other half for later...or if you are super hungry like I was just eat the whole thing! Turtles also has a great location, right on the water in Frederiksted with outdoor seating on the beach under the sea grape plants. You can sit, eat your sandwich, and watch the water for however long you like, its perfect. There's chickens around so you also have entertainment as they go about their business. Also they have a cool mural of a leatherback sea turtle as well on one wall, its an eye-catcher for sure. One thing to remember though they are cash only so be sure to have a few bucks to pay for lunch, don't want to miss out on this awesome place! Next time we come back to STX I will make it a point that we HAVE to come back here because their sandwiches are JUST THAT GOOD!!!

    Outstanding sandwiches and the staff was more than friendly.... loved the Club and the Ruben. Fantastic place to have a great relaxing lunch.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. We ate here 3 times on vacation in one week. We went back before we went to the airport to leave! They will make anything you want but their offerings on the board are more than enough. I had the italian hero twice (so huge I was able to eat it for lunch that day and the next!) and I also had the Turtle Sub. My husband made his own up all three times. They bake their own bread, cook their own turkey and get meats from other local places on the island. Portions are HUGE which definitely makes up for the price. I would much rather pay $10 for a sub/sandwich here than a $5 footlong from subway any day of the week. The views are also outstanding from your SHADED table and their beach is very nice. I swam in it and someone else was snorkeling in it. This is a MUST eat at while visiting St. Croix!

    Went here for lunch with my family and it was delicious. Some of the sandwiches were very huge portions. When you order, you take what you want and pay on the honor system. The bread was fresh and toasted. After the kids finished eating, they gave them a cookie and brownie (which were both very delicious). Highly recommend it!

    Can't beat this view!

    Croix averages one ship per week, so depending on the day it could either be super busy, or not that bad.

    Finally a great breakfast spot in Christiansted. AMAZING FOOD! Best brewed coffee on the island…read more Great service, clean, and affordable. Don't waste your money at 40 Stand or Toast, a better alternative is here! I had the Cajun shrimp eggs benedict and it was incredible! My wife had the avocado toast- another amazing dish. We love good coffee and theirs was better than Starbucks. This is our new spot -Josephine's Brunch Spot!

    Let's start with I think going out for scrambled eggs and bacon is like buying that device that…read morecooks ramen noodles faster. How effing easy does it need to be and just how lazy are you? I literally can cooks eggs and bacon for a month on a standard breakfast for 2 people at a restaurant. I don't even really like brunch. I think most places have the dishwasher cook brunch. I usually get dragged to brunch by my wife. Almost exclusively I'm disappointed. So your probably saying why the 5 stars. This is competently good food. For example you can usually judge a place by Caesar dressing. For those who haven't made Caesar it's pretty easy to make. But it's easier to slop some out of a jug made by Cisco. Not here it's the real thing. Properly prepared shrimp and grits. Delicious iced coffee. Naan Pizza. For the people the that have to have breakfast food the have all that. Eggs and bacon and whatnots. They really take pride in what the serve. The atmosphere is really nice. Air conditioned. They have beer, wine, and hard liquor. But so does the hardware store down here. So the next time you go to toast and there are 73 people in a space designed for 8, swing up the block to Josephine's. Who are you resist?
