For a lighter meal, I'd recommend the loaded fries with either the brisket on top or the pulled chicken. They got big screens to watch the game, live music on occasion, and a fun lil raffle if you can play to win by buying a drink. The interior portion of the restaurant is mostly closed, but they have a private bathroom upstairs if you don't feel like using the public restrooms at the mall. Tucked away from the main road, facing the ship port, it gets a nice breeze.

The potato Mac salad was a hit! It was creamy and had a great texture with the potato's and pasta. The service was wonderful and I would highly recommend this spot to tourists! The price was extremely reasonable for the quality and portions, even on a tourist port!

I had the double cheeseburger for $12, and you can add almost any toppings you want for free. I had sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes and a couple other things for no extra cost. The small cup of fries for $4 was tasty and enough. The service was mediocre and setting is dive bar. It took close to 45 minutes for our food to be prepared, and when it came out, my wife's chicken tenders were warm, not hot. Like any restaurant, avoid the drinks and you can manage your bill. This was a great option for our family.

We kept it simple with Tito's and pineapple juice and it definitely hit the spot. The place itself has a really cool, casual vibe; dollar bills all over the walls and ceiling, open-air feel, just a great island bar atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and made everything easy and relaxed. We didn't try the food this time, but the menu looked really good and we'd definitely come back to check it out. Perfect place to hang out, grab a drink, and just enjoy the vibe.

Hand down the best place to eat in the area. It's very small, but packs a punch with great customer service, cool drinks and outstanding food. Best to try and get in on their off hours to get a table without a wait. We literally ate here 4 times when we were on the island. An absolute MUST to order is their Bacon Jalapeno tater kegs! OMG-They're the bomb! Wings are decent and the burgers are juicy, flavorful and delicious! You really can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order. The decor is island themed chaos in every fun way possible. If you happen to have to use the restroom it's located outside (customs ONLY) The key ring they'll hand you is a toilet lid! LOL You can ring in another way too! On your trip to the john, call in sick to work and stay on the island! You're enticed too by the retro phone sitting a top a keg outdoors as well. Great photo opts! Happy Hour is daily! The Love Shack offers particular deals with half-priced cocktails. We did Margs on Monday! Signature drinks include the 50oz Volcano Drink, Shark Attack, and souvenir cocktails like the Pirates Booty in a ceramic mugs. FYI- They may attach a certain creature to your glass also. Perfect vibe, casual dinning and great accommodations by the staff (for our big party) who were so friendly and professional. This is a must experience spot when visiting St Thomas.

Duffy's provides free parking which is a rarity and right at noon, the mall lot had tons of open spots. We both ordered burgers, one with the standard fries and one with onion rings.

Burger was thick with a nice crisp, almost tasted like a smash burger but thicker. Service was good. It was the one spot where we didn't have to pay for a refill of soda.

My wife ordered the ITP DELUXE, my kids ordered the CLASSIC CHEESE PIZZA with pepperoni and I have the TUNA POKE. Everything was on point and delicious. Brian our waiter was attentive and got our orders in quickly. They share bathroom's which were disgusting, usually if you follow my reviews you know I take away a star for bad bathrooms.

Our server was great, she didn't hover but checked in often.

Didn't eat the burrito at all and was still charged. Requested the manager and he took $20 off, though the burrito was $28. Again, I'd go for a drink or to snap a few pics but not for the food.

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.

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!

Besides the burgers, I recommend the fried spicy chicken sandwich loaded up with pickles and a side of fries, their hotdog (which is split down the middle, grilled and served like a sandwich), and their funnel cake are also delicoussss I prefer the Havensight location to the Tap & Still in Redhook. Theres more seating at this location and you can see the distillery equipment inside. I love all the American-Traditional Tattoo style art inside, as well as the collection of stickers from abroad. The bartenders and waitresses here are very kind and happy to getcha whatever you need. Card & cash are accepted, and they can split the bill here. Orders are by name, which makes it pretty easy.

As kickoff approached, I was interested in watching the game not in our room but at a sports bar. After a few calls, the Westin recommended The Upstairs Bar and since we were going through downtown St. John, I just visited in person. The bartender was sure we could see the game, and to be sure, she introduced me to the owner who went straight upstairs and clicked the remote until the earlier MLS game was showing. That's all we needed to get stuff back to the room and get ready for the game. While CITY didn't win, that's OK... The Upstairs Bar, and the other patrons, was friendly and welcoming and that made for a great day/night. Thank you, Upstairs Bar! - - -
