Local cuisine recommended by a local had to be checked out. We were prepared for the wait, which took over an hour. The server was new and cordial. The food was very tasty. The only downside: the portion to price was underwhelming: $25 for 4 paltry pieces of oxtail? I guess this is the new normal we live in read more

Let me start by saying the food was amazing and when I say amazing I mean great..... Now let me get to the things that made me not want to visit this establishment again 1 the whole time I was there I was getting eaten by mosquitos because there's no central ac and it's literally a open concept restaurant 2 never received menu so when we ordered food it was based off what was in the kitchen which is fine but at least having a menu displayed which is by law 3 when I finished the food I asked for a restroom so I could wash my hands and I received a little dish soap in my hands and they filled a pitcher and told me to wash my hands in a bush 4 don't ask me for a tip I will tip based off the type of service I received and we are very good tippers I was just very uncomfortable and the prices are ridiculously high based on the type of establishment and service I received but I really enjoyed the food once it came hr and thirty minutes later read more

Kim's - Pot fish was AMAZING!!! But we did wait over an hour to get our food - Caribbean Near Me - Christiansted, Virgin Islands

Was visiting a historical museum nearby and reviews were decent so decided to try it. Menu written on a white board was limited but sufficient. Despite warning from server that the jerk chicken was super spicy, my husband ordered it anyway and really liked it. He found it flavorful with a little heat. I enjoyed the seasoning on fried salmon and the seasoned rice. Side salad had cucumbers and tomatoes on it. Daughter enjoyed her fried red snapper fillet. It took a while for the food to cook but it was worth the wait to have the fish cooked fresh. Indoor dining area small and a few small tables outside. Due to new building owners this restaurant is looking for a new location or faces closing at the end of January, 2023. read more

A trip to St Croix would not be complete without a meal at Kim's. Oxtail and shrimp with seasoned rice were some of the best meals we had while on our trip to the carribean. read more

Great local food! Had oxtail for the 1st time and loved it. Super laid back atmosphere and our waitress was really sweet. Be patient for your food. It's worth the wait. read more

My friend and I went to Kim's for lunch during our trip and it did not disappoint! The food was so delicious and the portions were just right. Other reviews said the service was slow but I thought our food came in a normal amount of time. Definitely a must eat if you're in St. Croix! read more

DELISHNESS X A MILLION! The owner/chef Kim is amazing, bar non! Such a superb chef she is! We had a shrimp/conch creole dish and a conch curry dish that were both beyond expectations. Please be patient though; Kim is an artist in the kitchen and makes EVERYTHING to YOUR preference. Our server Keiany was wonderful too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! read more

1st night in St. Croix and we were looking for local food. Shop keepers recommended we try Kim's Restaurant and it turned out to be a great recommendation. We had conck with peas & rice, stewed chicken with baked macaroni and Salmon with baked mac. All meals came a with a small piece of boiled yam to add a little sweet taste to the palette. The conck was sauteed and fork tender and tasted wonderful with each forkful of black beans and dirty rice. The stewed chicken was slightly tough, as if they used an older bird, but seasoned flavorfully. Thier "star dish" was their salmon with creole sauce. I'd definitely go back to Kim's for the food and wonderful conversation. read more

Had dinner here our first night on St. Croix in July of 2022. Great food. Seemed like more of a take out place (at least during hurricane season) but got great service and got to sit in a small, cute courtyard. read more

The worst service I have had on the island. We got to the restaurant about 7:30, no other customers other than us the whole evening. It took 45 for us to get our salad and then another 15 minutes for our dinners. So one hour to get our food. No one ever came out and talked to us, we were left alone in the dining room. No take out orders, nothing. I could have driven to the grocery store and bought food and prepared it in that time! Plus, it was really expensive. And nothing remarkable about the food at all. read more

Great food, super friendly staff and even the fellow patrons were friendly. We dined in and we're comfortable so I don't understand people complaining about the open atmosphere. We can't wait to go back! read more

We went there the other night and this local restaurant was a delight. The service was personal and very enjoyable. Eat local. read more

Having been on the island for a few days, my wife and I were generally eating at the resort we stayed at, much to our disapointment. However, we asked the locals and were told to go to Harvey's or Kim's...we chose Kim's. I had the curry goat, which was awesome, it was so tender and full of flavor. There are bones in it, so pick them out, but they add flavor, it is worth it. The seasoned rice was great, and even I ate the sweet potato, which I normally do not like. The house made hot sauce is a bit hot, so be careful, try a little first. My wife got the conch in butter sauce, which was the first time she had it...and she loved it. I don't eat seafood, but she described it as similar to scallops, but heartier. The service was slow but we did not care, because nobody goes to the Carribean to live a hurried life. Kim's is awesome, it is a small hole in the wall with fantastic food, and you need to try it if you come here. read more

At first glance the place looks a little seedy and it is off the beaten path. We went in for a late lunch and it was empty. She brought the signboard in to use as a menu. we picked Conch creole style and steamed snapper and 2 ginger beers. The food took 30 minutes to arrive. And, it was perfectly cooked and generous portions. The conch was delicious with just the right amount of creole sauce. forget the fried stuff the restaurants serve. The steamed snapper was fresh and tender. We were told that everything is cooked fresh to order, hence the wait. Totally worth it and it is island time anyway. We will return this week. The ginger beer was also a hit. read more

Im a local back home since a long spell. My friend decided to try this for dinner. So far its been about 25 mins and all I have is a plastic tumbler of yap water So far, not looking good. Stayed tuned... Told y'all to stay tuned... So, we got the food about 30 mins later, by then we had greedily gobbled up the ice cold salad with the 2 choices of dressing..ranch and french..lol (neither our fav). My friend dying to greet, meet and eat this seafood combo got her meal on a plate served over a bed of white rice. See pic below. And I am too confident not to restrain from posting the price...you all ready? $32.00. Ill save my meal for another post. Because this meal deserves its own post for $32.00..Im done... BTW the prices arent posted, so. I guess? I dunno..picture time. Guys, I can make this dish in my kitchen read more

This is as real as it gets. A small place tucked away in the centuries old spaghetti streets of Christiansted that barely tolerate cars, but were definitely meant for nothing bigger than a horse. The butter conch blew my mind. It was the perfect nexus of flavors for this locale. The conch is an indigenous sea creature of these waters, and you will get it here served up in a delicious butter sauce with a side of perfectly seasoned creole rice. Mine came with a slab of sweet potato and a salad, but the side is variable apparently. As with creole anything, the flavors are generally meant to mix, so make sure to take a bite of rice, conch, and sweet potato together for the best flavor. For dessert, they carry Armstrong's ice cream, which comes from a 120 year old Ice cream parlor on the other side of the island. Armstrong's parlor is an experience in and of itself, but you can get a taste of it here to cleanse your palate and round out your perfect Crucian meal. The place is in the midst of downtown and surrounded by lots of old buildings. A great place to take in the feel of the island. Don't miss it. read more

The butter conch was cooked to perfection. The season rice with conch made the entire dish tasty. The king fish was not that great. The white rice looked and tasted stale. Over the years, Kim's has aimed to please. I always left happy with good food and a Maubi. The king fish was very disappointing. We left it in the refrigerator and threw it out the next day. This plate cost 18.00 but wasn't worth the money. Stick with the conch, I' ll never have the king fish again. read more

My 2nd time to Kims while vacationing. Great food and friendly service. Highly recommended if you're looking for local island cooking.

Great traditional Westindian cooking. I had to go back for curry goat and ginger beer again and again. Next time I'm in town, you know where I'll be eating. read more

Great creole shrimp and oxtail stew. Went Wednesday 2 pm and wait for food shorter than previously reported

For real Caribbean food come here, it's flavorful and fresh. We had the stewed snapper and it was out of this world. In an island of overpriced substandard American fare, this place is a real gem. Get a side of the baked Mac and a Sorrell local drink. Yum! read more

The food was delicious!! The prices for seafood were reasonable ($16-$18 for conch and potfish). The drinks were a little expensive ($12 for two beers and one coconut water). Our waitress was great. She was nice and helpful with recommendations. The restrooms were a little yucky. I would go back for the delicious food! read more

Yum! Local food. We had red snapper whole and filet with creole sauce. It was very good. Mac & cheese is good like mama makes! The food is made to order so be prepared to wait but it's worth it and you're on vacation anyway! Server is sweet! read more

My favorite local restaurant by far. The customer service was great and the food was amazing

Kim's is a little small, quaint local restaurant with no a/c. Our server was friendly but didnt seem very knowledgeable about menu items. Or... Maybe she was and just didn't care to explain? Lol, she wasn't rude but asking questions didn't seem the norm here. So I had the shrimp and conk over pasta with the creole sauce. I asked for some extra spice in my creole sauce, and they took care of me. The dish was perfection. So so good!! You cannot go wrong with it. Hubby got Red Snapper in butter sauce with spices rice and beans. All superb!!! Don't miss the beans!!! They were seasoned so well. So yea, it's kinda a hole in the wall and there were chickens walking through the restaurant... but the food was great and it was priced well!! read more

Kim's - Inside. Quaint but no a/c. They do have fans, sit near one! - Caribbean Near Me - Christiansted, Virgin Islands

I was so excited to go to this restaurant because a few years back when I visit at St Croix the food was delicious. However, this time I did not even get to eat, the waiter was so rude. The customer service at this restaurant is Nonexistent. read more

Waited 45 minutes for service, watched everyone around us eating food. Then we were told they couldn't serve us and made us pay full price for drinks. read more

Great food and atmosphere!.. lf you visit the island and want awesome local food, go there!

If you're looking for authentic Caribbean food, Kim's is the place to go. It's located a bit off of the beaten path and is nowhere near a 4 star restaurant in terms of ambiance, but it's still a nice and quiet establishment. Food was pretty good and the service was fine. read more

Well their credit card machine wasn't working so we hash's to go across the street to get cash out of ATM. $6 charge for that. The food was very good but we had to wait an hour to get it. So food delicious Service not that great read more

We arrived at 6pm and placed our order. We got our silverware and drinks at 7pm, asked for water 3 times finally our dinner at 7:50. Unless someone was fishing for conch or slaughtering the goat in order to prepare it, not worth the wait. It was not busy, the tables were not filled. To go orders took priority over people waiting two hours for food. I witnessed other people sitting in the back getting up and grabbing their own beers. read more

My husband and I arrived at Kim's around 7:30-8pm on a Friday evening and didn't experience the crowds we were warned about. The ambiance was simple and cheery, almost like grandma's kitchen. Our server was very pleasant, made some recommendations, and took our order with the disclaimer that the food would take about 25 minutes to prepare, which we definitely appreciated. Typical garden salads preceded our meals. I ordered the fried grouper with creole sauce and seasoned rice. My husband ordered the red snapper with creole sauce. And seasoned rice as well. Both meals were delicious. I will say the seasoned rice tasted very basic and somewhat familiar, almost like a rice packet I've fixed for my family in a time crunch. That being said, I would recommend a visit to Kim's if you're looking for a local food experience. read more

The food was good and the server was attentive however it takes sooo long to get your food. I understand it's island time but we waited 2 1/2 hours to get our food after we seated. If you want to hang out and enjoy your evening and are not in a rush it's fine. Just be prepared for a long wait read more

Amazing food, very nice girl who served us our meal. What else can you ask for? Make sure to the grouper fish kreyol style you won't regret it read more

So we went here after friend wanted to go but had never been. 1st lets say if I was in the states I would had been left. The only thing that was good was the fruit punch and passion fruit juices. We waited an hour to get our juice. Then 30 more mimutes to get a salad that had 3 croutons, couple tomatoes and a piece of starfish. Another 45 mins later our meals arrived, fried pot fish and rice. Everything was barely lukewarm. Fish had no seasoning. Pass by not worth it. And the waitress had the nerve to get an attitude with us. Plus my friend walked down the street got 2 drinks n came back n we still didnt have our shit. read more
