Mahi tacos. Sweet potato fries. Watermelon lemonade.
Casey N.

We loved everything about this place. Excellent service with recommendations. Food was great and you can't beat the views. Clean bathroom. A fun spot to try on the west end.

Beach view

I don't leave a lot of reviews, typically only for something really good...or really bad, so please take that into consideration. We have had such an amazing time at Rainbow Beach today, both at the Rhythms beach restaurant and the adjacent beach where we rented lounge chairs and an umbrella. We had the fish tacos and also the blackened wahoo tacos. Being from San Diego we were skeptical at first but wow, the food and service were absolutely amazing. Well worth a $5 each short cab ride from the cruise ship terminal. Both the fish and the lobster were incredibly fresh, according to the lovely waitress, just caught. And wow...what a view. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if visiting St. Croix.

Blackened lobster tacos
Kim H.

Can't beat this location. Great service. Good drinks. Try the blackened lobster tacos.

I can't recommend this place more!! Wonderful food, service, atmosphere, and view!!! You won't be disappointed.

The place.

Visited based upon a recommendation. The view of the sea was great and so was the food. The cauliflower appetizer was great with the zippy dipping sauce, which also went well with the blackened mahi bites. The server was fantastic. She was so friendly and helpful. The cocktails were good too. Best painkiller I've had on the island. If you're looking for a chill beach bar, look no further.

Lobster tacos

Beautiful scenery to accompany a tastey meal. We were lucky to be able to try their lobster tacos, but the lobster was dry & overcooked. The rest of our food was good & they were quick to make our frozen drinks.

Came here for lunch after spending time on Rainbow beach. We were able to get a high top table with a view and our server quickly brought us waters and the cocktails we ordered. My friend and I both opted for the chicken tenders, mostly because they had so many interesting sauce options to pair with. You get one sauce included with your chicken tenders, but you can pay $0.50 to add another. I had a Carolina BBQ that was tart, tangy, and a little spicy, and a cajun aioli. The Carolina BBQ was the clear winner. We split basket of fries and it was a seriously hefty portion. The fries were basically shoestring style, crispy, and lightly seasoned. Highly recommend ordering them.

Grouper

Rhythms really impressed me with the quality of fish they used in the sandwich. It was raining pretty bad when I went and I had to take a refuge at this restaurant but it turned out to be a pleasant late surprise lunch for me. They were very friendly and patient with me moving tables as it was rainy all over. After some time they closed the front shutter but still it was a heavy rain and a lot of tables got wet. The coleslaw was nice and creamy. The restaurant offered great ocean front views and ultimate beach dining experience. There is a sports gear rental next door which I ended up checking out while I waited for the food.

We found Rhythms towards the end of our vacation and wished we had found it sooner! Incredible views with incredible food and service right on the beach. We came here for dinner two nights and had the tacos both times (mahi mahi and shrimp). We also had a margarita and pina colada and both were amazing. The food is to die for, so good! Highly recommend coming here to eat while visiting St Croix!

Paloma and a Mojito
Seth H.

My wife and I love coming here when we're on the island. Drinks are flavorful and strong. Bartenders are courteous and always quick with a good recommendation. The location on the beach is great - chill music and comfortable seating.

Wahoo ceviche
Lisa F.

We ate here a few times since it was 5 min from our rental. Bartenders are friendly and my friend ordered a spicy margarita with a habenero distilled tequila. She said it was amazing. We had wild caught tuna and snapper first time and both were tasty. We also came back and ate their wahoo ceviche. Excellent! We even went back again to see if they had it and they did we had a snack there. From what I heard this is the THE PLACE during in season where you can't find a place to sit. Since we were there this past week (off season) it was nice & chill vibe.

Patio dining area off the beach.
Eddie C.

Great vibe and cool music with amazing ocean views. Awesome place to lounge on the beach and then stroll up to Rhythms and have drinks and food. Large bar area with plenty of high table seats to casually dine in. Plenty of TVs tuned into sports with island music playing the background. Staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. Fish tacos are a must have and beers are always cold and refreshing. Enough can't be said about this chill spot by the beach. If you walk up to the bar, say hello to Ben coolest guy you'll ever meet!

Great deck!
Alan B.

If you want fantastic service and piping hot food, this could be your spot. The sweet potato fries were crispy and hot. I ordered a Wahoo fish taco, which arrived with large chunks of fish in a tasty sauce. They have an awesome location on rainbow beach with a new large deck, likely the result of two Cat 5 hurricanes in 2017. Fabulous view are complimented by a chill beach vibe. Next to the restaurant they rent chairs, umbrellas and watercraft of all types. We always take a day to chill at Rainbow Beach, and lunch at Rhythms. It's a must visit spot, that should be part of any St. Croix trip.

Menu is nothing special. Drinks are okay and typical for a college bar. Location is great with a great atmosphere on the weekends.

Located in this Old Stone building with plenty of other shops. This place was a hidden treasure, very quaint. Very fun. Huge interior. Many places to sit neat and clean and very friendly counter people Make no mistake, this is definitely a tourist spot since it's right off the dock where the cruise ship lands. But I will tell you what this place is worth the crowd. Plenty of inside seating as well as plenty of outside seating on an adjacent patio. I ordered the barbecue chicken sandwich, a bag of chips and a Cruzan Confusion... A very strong alcoholic beverage. One thing I have learned being on St. Croix is things do not happen fast. Best thing to do is drop your expectations. Sit back and just enjoy the experience. With that in mind, I cracked open my bag of chips and started drinking my drink. The chicken sandwich came out and I was so impressed by the size... Huge piece of chicken on the wheat buns with lettuce, barbecue sauce and onion. Absolutely perfect, and the bag of chips was a great compliment as well. Bottom line? If you are down by the docks looking around doing all the tourist activities, this is the place you need to go to get a bite to eat!, so sit back, relax and take a break from the day and enjoy some good food.

We're heading to Beach Side Cafe! Located right on the waterfront, this place has some of the most spectacular views of the ocean that I've ever seen in my life. I mean, come on! We're in the Caribbean. You would expect an absolutely amazing view, and this place delivers! Of course, you can't really have a good meal without some sort of rum drink.. and they have got you covered no matter what you want. They have a good diverse menu of drinks, the staff is super friendly and willing to help you out to decide what poison you want to try, and everything hits on all cylinders. For food, I went with the Smashburger which was huge. Now I've had a lot of smashburgers in the day but this was a lot of meat. The double patties were thicker than a normal Smashburger so it was like the equivalent of four smashburgers in one. Cook to perfection, andiIt comes with fries, but I upgraded to the Caesar salad for a couple bucks more. Let me tell you sometimes you got to be healthy and this Caesar salad made me feel like I was doing my part. We were fortunate enough to be there when the sunset, take a look at the pictures and you'll see what I mean. Mean. Food almost got cold while I was standing there gawking at the beauty and Majesty of the sunset here in the Virgin Islands. You would be hard-pressed to find a better place to dine and watch the landscape. Bottom line? How could you not go back here again? The food was great, the staff was friendly and amazing, the drinks were on point, and you couldn't get a better location. Run, don't walk to this place!
