This place was the best we had, compared to many of the upper scale locations. Not naming places. Oxtail was so flavorful. Both my kiddos, picky, just asked for more. Salmon was good but prob better without the accommodating broth. My youngest killed the wings. If you're looking for authentic, try here.

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!

I got 2 plates for $30 and it's so much quality food. Macaroni and cheese came out fresh and it was soooooo good. Major hit. The wings both were so good as well as the stewed chicken. The fungi was also so fun and delicious. Tastes like thicker grits.

In a place where highly priced restaurant dot the island, The Chicken Fry is a great spot to pick up lunch and dinner (no tables) and fill your beach/work hunger. We had 3 big plate orders of stewed chicken, white rice, and yellow plantains, also comes with a side of beans. The chicken was moist and juicy especially with the savory sauce it was cooked with, the rice wasn't dry, the plantains ripe and well cooked, and the beans were seasoned and spiced just right. Service was friendly, fast even with the constant influx of people coming in. Fresh food was coming from the kitchen even by 745pm. The interior is simple, no frills, and well lit. We parked our car on the street and it took us less than 10 min to get our order. The road may seem sketchy to outsiders especially at nighttime but we had no problems finding the place. Would come back to try more of their food and would recommend! Small plates are around $8-9, and big plates start from around $12. Our big plate with the stewed chicken. Rice, plantains and a side of beans were $12 each. Oxtail big plate is $18 . Cash and credit cards accepted.

The service was good, they do add a 20% gratuity to all checks fyi Fair warning the parking is terrible, we had to back out and it's very dark in the parking lot. Eventually a nice security guard came out and helped us get a spot. It's uneven gravel so if you're handicap or wearing heels be advised. Overall we'll definitely return!

We ordered the whole fried trigger fish for $50, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly fried, well seasoned, and full of flavor. It came with rice and beans, mac and cheese, and a side salad. Maggie even gave us a bottle of their homemade habanero hot sauce to go with the fish, and wow....it had the perfect heat and flavor. They have a full bar, parking on site, and limited seating. There's also a house cat casually roaming around, which just adds to the charm. This is a very local establishment. If you're looking for authentic island food and genuine hospitality, Brooks is absolutely worth the stop.

As noted in my last review, our plan going in was to not eat all day so we could enjoy the 11-course chefs tasting menu. So glad we did! 11 perfectly executed small plates, each one fantastic on its own, but as an almost two-hour presentation, heaven on a plate! The restaurant itself is very nice, cool bar area in the back. Nice dining area. But, counter seating is where it's at for a front row seat into the kitchen. Staff is first rate, fun, happy, on the ball! IGNORE reviews complaining about prices and portion sizes! Those are simply IGNORant folks who didn't check out the place before dining there. Blue 11 is foodie, gastro perfection. Pricey yes, small portions yes, but for those who truly appreciate fine dining and expecting a chef's talent, this is a must do in St. Thomas. Easily one of the top two or three restaurants in the USVIs! Simply outstanding! Highly recommend!
