Absolutely loved this food truck! We ended up going twice during our trip and the customer service…read morealone made us want to come back. The guy helping run the truck, originally from Florida, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He took time to chat with us, told us more about the food truck, showed us a nice nearby spot to sit and eat, and even introduced us to his nephew who also helps run the truck. On my first visit I tried the oxtails, mac & cheese, and passion fruit juice. They were out of the beef patties and rice & peas because it was a busy cruise day, but he promised to save us some for the next day -- and he actually did! We came back the following day and sure enough, he had beef patties waiting for us. The oxtails were honestly some of the best I've ever had super flavorful and tender. The mac & cheese was amazing, and the beef patties were very filling. I ordered two and could barely finish one. The passion fruit juice was a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. If I'm ever back in St. Thomas or Fort Lauderdale, I'll definitely be visiting again. The food and hospitality were just that good!

ROADSIDE TREAT As…read moreyou travel around the island of St Thomas you will encounter roadside restaurants hidden everywhere. This is one of those places. It is located east of the Food Center grocery store. This is a place where the locals eat. As you drive up in your rental car, they will totally know you're not a local. Do not be afraid and miss out where the locals eat. You will see a bunch of outdoor tables and a food truck that is now a non moving kitchen. There is a wooden staircase located at the back door of the truck. As you make your way up the stairs you will see a glass case with already cooked food. It will totally be hard to see the food past the steamy glass but the owner is brilliant. She uses a window squeegee to clean the steam off the windows. You will now have a totally clear view of all the food she has. It is typical Caribbean stewed meats like chicken, goat & fish. A plate of chicken with rice costs only $10. If you want goat or fish with rice it will set you back $12. You can also add on a Johnny Cake for just $1. Two sisters make all of the food and they have been in business for seven years which means that they are doing something right. So next time you find yourself on a winding road in St Thomas keep your eyes open and stay on the left side because these hidden culinary adventures exist everywhere. Everything doesn't have to be twenty bucks a plate and this place is a perfect example.

Everyone had their favorite dish, and I ended up going with the Street Beet Salad with falafel. I loved how all of the ingredients came together and tasted super delicious! This was one of the more creative items on the menu, but there are also a good bit of classic Mediterranean dishes to choose from as well. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. The locals clearly love this hidden gem and I can 100% see why. I found the price point to be really reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the size of the portion. I will say it wasn't even that expensive for mainland food which I really appreciated. The woman taking orders was very kind and easy to talk to. It seems like there are three women in the truck cooking and taking orders, and doing an amazing job! People waiting in line are also friendly and happy to rave about this place. I will 100% need to come back before this trip ends

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.

Great strong drinks and a fun chill vibe to chillax, play corn hole, kick back and people watch, or stare at the stunning turquoise wonder that is Maho Bay. Very highly recommended.

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.
