St. John Dining Guide



Gotta Eat!

While food will be provided Fri & Sat nights at the Welcome Party & Wedding, you have many options for dining out or purchasing groceries for the rest of your stay.   

Groceries: 
     STJ: There is a grocery store in Cruz Bay called Starfish Market, where you can gather provisions for your stay. I'd recommend getting items for breakfast and packed lunches/snacks for beach days. Like most island groceries, be prepared to pay a premium for some items. 

     STT: If you are renting a car on St Thomas and taking the car barge to STJ, you have the option to purchase provisions cheaper at the Kmart or Cost-U-Less before hoping on the ferry to STJ.

The only restaurant Dave & I went to on STJ was Skinny Legs, on the way to Coral Bay, who's motto is "a pretty OK place". And we'd agree, it was just OK. 


A guy from South Carolina recently created this St. John Bar & Restaurant Map that is very comprehensive and helpful.  Zoom in to Cruz Bay on the Southwestern corner of the island – this is where all the action is.  Or for a cool day trip, head out to relaxed Coral Bay on the East side.  Check out the map HERE.
