First time in St. Croix with so many positive experiences. The scenery is of course amazing, and the island is know for some of the best food in the Caribbean. Check out the Sands Resort and eat ANYTHING off the menu; you won't be disappointed. The owners (Chris & Ted) are fantastic and will ensure you have the best experience ever. Stay at the resort, eat like royalty and enjoy the most amazing views ever! #IslandLiving! read more

Great place on the ocean. Food here is good. They have a great brunchnon weekends. It's attached to sandcastle beach hotel. We've had breakfast, lunch and dinner here. They have options for vegetarian as well. They have a full bar and a moctail drink list as well. The owners are super nice. I will be recommending this place to my friends when they visit St. Croix. read more

We stayed at the cottages next door and I wasn't expecting much for having a captive audience. But man was I wrong. This place is great. Staff is friendly. Drinks are well done. Bread pudding is to die for. We almost didn't eat anywhere else when we were in frederiksted! read more

The cafe is hit or miss but there are no other restaurants in the immediate area so your options are limited. Our first night I ordered the seafood chowder and it was cold. Not a little warm but cold. I picked up the ceramic serving crock and held it in my hands and showed the server. They took it away to heat it and when it came back it was warm but I could still hold the bowl in my hands. Instead of removing the item from the bill they discounted the item. I was very disappointed. The charges on two other visits didn't match the each other even though the entrees were the same. On one visit we got a side without charge. On the next visit the next day we were charged for the side. When I asked about it the server said the prices were in the computer and they couldn't do anything about it. I bought a beer from the bar and was charged for a pint but given a small plastic cup that was no where near the same liquid volume as a pint glass. The bartender had the audacity to tell me they were the same. I don't appreciate being lied to or brushed off and if they have to serve me a smaller cup in plastic so it could be consumed around the pool area then the charge should be lower. read more

Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite lunch spots on the west end of STX. The view of the beach is just unbeatable here. Consistency is key to me and this restaurant has always provided great food and service every time I come here weather its lunch or dinner. Highly Recommend a visit here Favorite Items: Bang Bang Shrimp Mahi Mahi Bites ( Sauce accompanied with this is amazing!) Salmon Bread Pudding (To Die For!!!) -M. McGregor (Foodie Specialist) read more

Food has been consistently good. Love the seafood chowder and the house salad. Bang bang shrimp is heavenly and the hamburgers are wonderful! read more

Very good food. Great view. Very friendly service. The chicken salad croissant was different but very good. Being from the states, we love our iced tea, and they have great iced tea and kindly offered refills. read more

Two words...bread pudding. It was amazing! Shrimp curry was good as well: beautiful water views.

Amazing view. Our waitress Mocha was fabulous...fellow nurse taking a much needed break from nursing post COVID. Food all amazing. Chicken curry and steak skewers highly recommend. A must for visiting the island! read more

Horrible service, the host was rude and the server did not check on our food. On top of that it was horrible. I would never recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Ate here prior to boarding! Delicious! Scene is beautiful. Breading pudding was my favorite. Definitely island time with service so if your trying to waste two hours or so and be near by...this is the place read more

Great place with fabulous views. People are super nice too. I would definitely go back.

Just what we were looking for!! The Beach Side Cafe at the Sand Castle Resort. DELICIOUS food! We were just off the cruise ship and bought a day pass at the hotel - Sand Castle Resort. Verna was so pleasant and welcoming. We paid $25 for the day pass ($25 for two people!) It includes two lounges, one umbrella (very necessary in the hot Caribbean sun), towels and two (very good) rum punch drinks. There is a shuttle from the cruise port (six dollars per person round-trip). Keisha set us up on the beach and offered to serve us lunch on the beach or in the restaurant. Our lunch was delicious, as were the drinks. Keisha is an attentive and wonderful waitress! Verna showed us a room and we hope to fly in and stay here in the future. It is a very quiet, relaxing respite from the world!! We love it! read more

large party, called ahead with a reservation. appetizers came quick but taking orders took over half an hour, food came out sporadically and wrong. there was roughly an hour of wrong orders and party members eating. the burger tasted like a cafeteria burger, fries were cold and unseasoned. the only thing good was the chowder. probably award winning because it's the only thing they can get out in a timely manner. read more

I don't understand how people give this place good ratings? We were in St Croix for a cruise port day and came to Sandcastle on a day pass. The beach was fine but the restaurant was a disaster. We literally waited 51 minutes between when we placed our order for lunch to when it was delivered. When it arrived all of the food wasn't even hot including my wife's tortillas for her fajitas which were served cold?! I suggest the owners re-visit the training their servers are given prior to letting them wait on tables. read more

Beach Side Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Frederiksted, Virgin Islands

This was the most disappointing place I ate while on vacation. The drink I had was really nice, however the food was horrible. I got mahi and it definitely seemed frozen instead of fresh. The sides were not great and I left most of the food behind. read more

Great views Friendly staff Tuna was waaay overcooked and it was the special. Mahi was overcooked. Best part of my meal was the cole slaw- it was good! Chicken caprese was blah. Very overpriced for the food quality. Several people recommended this place, so we were disappointed. read more

Loved everything about this place! The food, drinks and the view could NOT be better! The staff was amazing also. Can't wait to be back! read more

Like a lot of the restaurants on the island this place has a great location and wonderful view but the food is severely lacking. We both ordered dishes with fish and both were extremely dry. When we told the server she offered mayo. I would recommend this place for the beach out front which is amazing and perhaps some cocktails and maybe a snack. I would not recommend you make a special trip to eat here for dinner. read more

Once you walk to the back of this place your mind will be blown as it really is a beautiful resort off the beaten path. We had a perfect reservation to see the fireworks for the 4th of July and our night was magical. We arrived early so we could have a drink before dinner and the manager let us know if our drinks were in plastic we were welcome to roam the property and check out the views. The drinks were strong and the sunset behind the restaurant were to die for, and my boyfriend and I got some of our best pictures of the trip here. Once I have resort type of money I am certainly coming here! The food was also amazing. We shared the mahi bites which were fresh and the sauce was paired perfectly with the fish. My boyfriend ate his burger in about 2 minutes and I had the fried shrimp basket. Both were great and the sides were delicious! Would 100% recommend. The cat roaming the restaurant made it even better!!! read more

We stayed next door at Cottages by the sea and went to eat here our first dinner in st Croix. What a wonderful place to eat and relax. Everyone was amazing and the service was impeccable! The owners were so personable and we felt like we've known them for years! I highly recommend Beachside Cafe while your in St. Croix. read more

Excellent food and amazing drinks! Ate here several times while staying at Sandcastle on the Beach, the adjoining hotel. Local Mahi and organic fried tomato with goat cheese and arugula specials were standouts! And you MUST try a Limin' on de Coconut from Simone at the bar! Great place to enjoy dinner and the sunset, ask about dining on the beach! read more

This cafe right on the beach is part of the Hotel just south of Fredriksted. They are a casual place but add to the ambiance with white table cloths and attentive service. A large group of us (8 total) went for brunch and everyone seemed happy with what they got. Entrees ranged from Banana Rum French Toast, and a Salmon and Tomato eggs Benedict to a couple of Monte Cristo sandwiches. The main complaint across the board was that the food was not HOT when served. and a few drinking coffee said the same. My bloody mary was insanely strong - but they accommodated when I asked for more Tomato juice. read more

This place really ruined what was an otherwise good day. The service here is slow, even by island time or anytime. Took almost an hour to just order our food, and over another hour to get it. The food was outright terrible. The price was highway robbery, even for how expensive things are on the island. Everybody's food seemed to be stuff you could get at the grocery store out of the frozen section. Overall everything was terrible despite being right in the beach and having a good atmosphere. Our party ended up being here for over 3 hours and some not getting their food till most of the group was already done eating over two hours of us being here. Under no circumstances would I come here ever again. If you are hungry, you aren't getting food anytime soon. If you want good food, it ain't here. Keep driving and find something else. Also, I never open yelp or do reviews, but this place is that bad I need to warn y'all. read more

Wife and I came here hoping to catch the sunset at dinner, but a full-on rainstorm put a damper on that. With rain blowing in sideways and the place nearly empty, we were seated in the gazebo -- which, despite the storm, was really nice. Romantic, actually. All of the staff here was very friendly, especially our waitress, Julie, and the manager, Chris. Both seemed genuinely interested in making our experience as memorable as possible. Wife had the Bang Bang shrimp, which were mind-blowingly good, and she continues to talk about, two weeks later. I had the chicken fajitas, which were quite good. I usually like to visit a place at least twice before giving them a five-star rating, but I'm making an exception for the Beach Side Cafe. Check it out for yourself... maybe there will even be a rainstorm blowing through! read more

Crap food..crap portions...inconsistent service...food doesn't match descriptions...a huge let down over and over...advertising food to be one thing..it isnt.. selling desserts they don't have....serving huge size meals to one person ..then skimpy to another at the same table..please dont eat here.. read more

Great experience and atmosphere especially at sunset. Food was excellent. It was warm when it arrived to the table. Good service. Our waitress got our food, drinks and bill to us in a timely fashion. The staff there had awesome manners and gave salutations as you entered and left. On slow days at sunset they may give you the option to choose your table. Parking was accessible, safe, and convenient. The food was delicious, really fresh. We had the Bang Bang shrimp, Mac'n Cheese with Smoked Brisket, and the seafood pasta. All of which were devoured on spot. read more

Delicious, fresh food served by a warm and friendly staff. We stayed at Sand Castle on The Beach where Beach Side Cafe is located. We were well taken care of all week and our tummies were filled after hours spent swimming. The view is beautiful to book. Some of my favorites, the burger, the bread basket (some of the best focaccia I've had) the mussels. Also had a few of the pasta specials through the week which were really tasty. Save room for the dessert, and enjoy the white chocolate bread pudding, it's so custard-y and delicious even non-bread pudding people (like my husband) was way into it. Thanks again for the delicious food and wonderful people to spend a meal with! read more

Great drinks & good food. Not a 5 star restaurant but service was good and food was better than average. You really come here for the view, which is awesome! Tons of old people apparently stay in the cottages next door because the place was crawling with Sr Citizens. Jay was our server and he went above and beyond to take care of us. read more

5 stars for doing what they do well.. super kind and efficient service from Jamalya. The tuna w wasabi and bang bang shrimp were great appetizers. Fish tacos were fresh and fabulous, crab blt sandwiches and a mahi sandwich rounded out our lunch. The view doesn't quit.. it is quintessential island eye candy. We had delicious rum drinks too. Next time we're ordering the fajitas which sizzled by us a couple of times. read more

Fantastic waterfront view, delicious brunch and great owners. Lgbqt friendly. Option to get a day pass to access their facilities

A wonderful spot with daily specials. Great menu with many selections and local favorites. The view at sunset is unbeatable!

Again this year, my husband and I stayed next door to the Beach Side Cafe for the month of January 2018. We ate nearly all of our dinners there and enjoyed them very much. It is different than in the past, but they have done a fabulous job getting things together after Hurricane Maria. The food was just as delightful as on our previous stays and we enjoyed ourselves very much in their Beach Side atmosphere. We would recommend this Cafe to anyone looking for a casual experience, with good food and wonderful setting. Respectfully, Jacquie read more

Food was delicious, drinks were cold, staff was very friendly, and the dining location is beautiful at night. I seriously recommend the pork sliders and the bahi bahi (maybe mahi mahi?) shrimp and for dinner you can't go wrong with the lamb! read more

Good Sunday brunch at reasonable prices. Mimosa was a bit warm and small. The egg dish with corn tortillas, refried beans, and guacamole was very good as was the Monte Cristo sandwich. read more

Awesome locale, great staff and the food excellent! Had the fresh (as in caught that afternoon) Ahi appetizer and then Scott the bartender steered me towards the lamb chops which were phenomenal! read more
