    This place has a super fun vibe. The service was great. I ordered the jerk nachos and they were meh. The "jerk" chicken really didnt have any flavor at all. We also ordered the grouper. It came fried and was pretty good. The drinks were delicious and the cups we for are so cute. Every once in awhile they release some smoke and bubbles and make the metal jaws move. Very cool. Fun spot to have some drinks and unwind from a busy day on the island.

    Always a good time at Duffys. Good food, good service, good music. Sometimes the music can get a little loud, especially when it's packed which makes it even HARDER to hear, but that's where the good food comes in. I'm Never disappointed with a trip to Duffy's. And when they crank up Jaws, it's a bit of fun and a good hook for an island crowd.

    Saw so many videos about this place and decided to try it out. It was very very average bar food. Everything lowkey tasted like it was cooked from frozen. The pu pu platter was a cute concept and something I enjoyed but the jerk chicken nachos were a joke. it barely had any meat and the meat tasted more like cinnamon than spice. The grouper also tasted frozen like a fish filet from mcdonald's, but the fries were okay. Our server was super nice and attentive tho! The drinks were also quite good and we enjoyed the fact you could purchase a cup lol

    Drinks and service were fantastic. Food was mid. Interior was fun and the vibe was great. You should def make this a stop on your trip.

    This was hands down my favorite bar/restaurant we went to in St. Thomas. Their happy hour deals are amazing, and the Shark Attack drink is a must. The presentation with smoke, music and a giant moving metal shark makes it such a fun experience. We ordered food here a couple of times, including Steak Night, and were really impressed, especially given how fairly priced everything was for St. Thomas. Don't let the strip-mall location fool you... inside it's a great time with a fun, beachy atmosphere and a clean vibe. The bartenders were attentive and friendly every time we went. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in the USVI.

    I ordered their salad that was delicious! The dressing had the most perfect flavor, and those salad was crisp. The bartender was very welcoming and sweet! The funny part was that there were chickens all over the place. The bartender did tell me to be careful because sometimes chickens will jump on you.

    After arriving to the island, we were heading towards Red Hook and our driver recommended Duffy's. Very fun, outdoor, but covered restaurant in a parking lot. The menu has several options which includes seafood, burgers, wings and nachos. Tons of creative mixed drink options and shots. Our waiter was also the bartender, but there were two other servers working the tables. They were all fun and kind. The food was very good. The music was fitting for a tropical paradise type restaurant. Several roosters, hens and baby chicks roaming around. We will definitely be returning on this trip.

    This place never disappoints. I have never had a bad time here. But I am writing this review because the last time was especially special. The food was delicious! I cannot recommend that jerk chicken sandwich enough. I even was able to share it because it wasn't spicy. Great job. But Stephanie our server was incredible. She went above and beyond and really made this an experience to remember.

    Don't miss out on this place, It really is the cutest lil parking lot bar! We didn't realize it was a tiki bar before walking in, so that was a pleasant surprise. We're probably blind lol. Service was friendly and timely. We sat at the bar and got served right away. They have a quirky menu, I love all the different tiki drinks. They have the drinks you'd expect, and some funky ones too. We did the shot with a souvenir glass and I got the monkey drink. (I forget what it's called). Food was typical bar food. Their onion rings were perfectly crispy, not soggy or under cooked. I'd totally come back here, I need to collect more mugs! **we went back for round two ** completed the whole "Hear No, See No, Speak No" set. Plus added two more. Had the best mojito I've ever had. Husband got the loaded jerk chicken nachos and I got Leroy's Catch of the Day. Both delicious meals. Service was great, yet again. Such a great vibe, we'll miss this place, and proudly display these tiki mugs at home!

    Visited last week and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I ordered conch fritters as an appetizer and had a "Thar She Blows" cocktail in a souvenir glass. Both were fresh and tasty. The glass is fun but would have been fine without it. For dinner I ordered the Fish N Chips. It was crunchy,hot and delicious. My family had the ribs and a burger. I tried the ribs and they weee the best food I tried for sure. The band was fun and the staff are attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and satisfying dining experience.

    We waited 1-1/2 hours on Weds night for the fresh lobster special. We ordered a bushwhacker - yum - and enjoyed talking to other patrons in line. Seating starts at 6pm, and you can't order till you're seated. Make sure you order right away because it took about 45 minutes for our lobster to arrive. It was worth the wait! Grilled and cooked to perfection. Served with clarified butter, corn on the cob and a potato. Hubby and I shared a 2 pound Lobster and loved every bite!

    Duffy's Love Shack is so so fun!! It is a rum bar that serves yummy food! The service is relaxed - definitely on island time! Save room for the dessert - the smore's are delicious!! We ate here twice during our stay in St Thomas.

    We stopped by Duffy's Love Shack bar during a break from shopping in the Red Hook area, St. Thomas. It's an open-air place located on the side of a strip mall parking lot. Nothing fancy about this place... just drinks and bar food. The menus are delivered on little tiki paddles, a bit creative! We opted not to dine at Duffy's because nothing on the menu really appealed to us, and the food we saw on tables did not look that appetizing. But we did hit the specialty cocktail menu! We had the Pirate Painkiller (Pusser's Gunpowder rum, pineapple and orange juices and cream of coconut) and the Guava Berry Smash (guava berry liqueur, Hurricane 137 rum, strawberries and guava nectar). Both cocktails were good, and consistent with similar drinks around the USVIs. Both drinks came with cute little accents on the top. And, Duffy's has it's share of chickens running around, a common sight on St. Thomas. With so many better drink/food options in the Red Hook area, we'd likely not go back.

    Loooooooove Doghouse. Between the bingo & jepordy nights, the friendly locals, and the kick-ass…read morestaff, this is one of my go-to spots on island for a strong drink and a huge crunchwrap. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, all of it is good. Even the vegetarian options. The pulled pork and the chicken wings are especially delicious. The portions here are hefty, and after a long day in the sun havin' fun, a pitstop here will ground ya for the night. Pricewise, this spot is a bargin. Its loud and can get a lil rowdy on the weekends, but otherwise a great spot to kickback and watch the game. The kitchen is open late too. Downstairs in the den there are a few lil lottery machines, a pool table and the typical dive bar essentials.

    A friend and I visited the Dog House Pub when we were in St. Thomas and it was right on the road…read morewhere we were staying for the week. Not a super hopping area and on a street vs. the beach or anything fancy like that. We saw a chicken or two wandering around also. But the staff and food were great, so that made up for the location not being the best. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super nice and helpful about which drinks might be good for us when we told him what flavors we were feeling. I had my first of many Island Summer Ale beers here (brewed in St. John). Served very crisp and cold in a frosty bottle. For food, I had the fish tacos (when in Rome - or on an island, in this case), along with tater tots. The tacos were tasty, with fried fish, lettuce, and a cheesy sauce on top. My friend had tacos too, but picked the beef protein, and chose the beans as her side. Her's also looked delish, so I would try those if I ever make it back that way. As we left (after dark), the bartender did us another favor. We almost got in the wrong car, thinking it was our taxi, and he ran out and grabbed us and said that was not a taxi at all! I'm not positive it would have been dangerous to get in the car, but it definitely felt like he saved us. If you're staying in the Havensight area of St. Thomas, and don't mind a sports bar style atmosphere vs. beachy vibe, then I would recommend checking out out Dog House Pub for the tacos and beer!
