The menu is big. It's local. They sell out as the night goes on. All of the servers do not speak English really well. But, honestly, if you have a question that can't be answered, there's someone around you can talk to. We ordered sautéed fish and the stewed chicken. Each entree comes with three sides - my favorites were the plantains, red beans, and Cole slaw. Rice was also good. The cook was also grilling pork that smelled AMAZING and when I asked my server if I could have whatever he was making, she literally snuck me over a side plate of smoked and grilled pork. So freaking good. This is not your typical Cruz bay restaurant. This is local. It's delicious. There is live music. Appreciate what you are getting. If you want cute fish tacos, this place isn't for you. We had a cocktail at the Windmill Bar during sunset and then popped over here (practically next door), to order some food. Tables are picnic style tables. All outside. Service is great but food is cooked to order so it might be slow. Enjoy it! We had multiple beers and a couple mamawana shots and two entrees and our total was about $75. Definitely our least expensive meal on St. John ever.

The food is nothing short of spectacular, the venue is right on the water with a really nice ambiance, and the drinks are totally on the money :-) We actually visited here twice during our stay. The first time around we shared an exceptional Mahi-Mahi sandwich, and started off with a wonderfully delicious soup. On our 2nd visit we shared crab soup and the grouper Reuben, which was a veritable thing of beauty! I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the food here. Over and above the amazing food, the service was spot-on, and I think I'm in love with their "painkiller" - it's a mixed drink that goes down super smooth and then turns around to kick like a Mule. St. John is a beautiful Island, and I have no doubt that when I return, I'll find my way back to Miss Lucy's as well.

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.

We were able to find street parking right upfront, but it can get tricky. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman and by a beautiful view of the houses on the hills. The view and vibe alone deserve 5 stars. The issue we had was the wait time. We waited close to an hour for our food. If we weren't so hungry and tired after a day of exploring, we would have just cancelled the order and left. We tried the shrimp appetizer and it just didn't up meeting expectations based on the menu description. My friend had the mahi sandwich while I had the mahi entree with mashed potatoes and plantains. The mahi in the sandwich was a bit dry, but my entree was pretty good. However, definitely not worth the one-hour wait or the cost. Overall not a bad experience and worth a try, but go there with lots of patience hahaha. Also, note that 20% gratuity is included regardless of group size.

Bring plenty of cash (it's often cash-only or prefers it), and yeah, it can run a tad pricey for authentic Caribbean eats, but the payoff's huge: think phenomenal steamed red snapper, tender oxtail, creole chicken, and classic roti made with fresh, home-cooked love . The fun starts with the hunt itself out in the middle of nowhere vibes then bam, you're there, often with the place to yourself like we did late one night. Only one other couple rolled in mid-meal, decked out head-to-toe as Thing One and Thing Two from Dr. Seuss first-grade ridiculous, but it cracked us up and straight-up made my night. Five-star gem for genuine island flavor, quirky charm, and memories that stick worth every twist and turn to get there!
