Find out what American restaurants to try in Charlotte Amalie.

This former haunt of pirate ships now hosts millions of cruise passengers every year. Look beyond the boutiques and discover historic sights such as the bright red, 17th-century Fort Christian, the graceful green Legislature Building, the 1793 brick Lutheran Church and the taxing 99 steps stairway.

The Pie Whole

Reviewed By Triaero

We get to the Pie Whole at least once on every trip to St Thomas. They consistently provide great food and service. The beer selection is probably the best in the VI and far better than most back home. The is a small but delightful place. Asia is a great host, even when (not) working with one arm in a sling. Hint: Don’t be afraid to eat at the bar. the conversation is always great fun and you’ll meet some great people. Favorites: artichoke dip, ANY of the pizzas because of the wonderful crust.

Reviewed By JohnK11

We enjoyed a great lunch with wonderful craft cocktails. The setting is right in front of the yachts overlooking the harbor. Our server was friendly and very helpful with recommendations. The service is quicker than most on the island. We had an awesome homemade guacamole and lightly dusted calamari which was perfectly done; not too chewy and fresh. The burger was truly outstanding. They use locally grown ingredients and have a friendly cat to visit your table to say hello.

Island View Guest House

Reviewed By Skyhawk738

Hands down the best steak dinner on the island, Nick (the chef) handcuts and trims all the steaks, seasons and grills them to perfection. I had the tenderloin and sides, with the blue cheese butter it just melted in my mouth, Betty had the grilled Mahi-mahi and sides, I thought she was going to lick the plate clean. Love the honor system bar, basically make your own drinks the way you like them. The wait staff was super, helpful and attentive throughout the evening. They also have a chicken dish and usually a vegetarian choice also, that night it was a mushroom and veggie risotto. The homemade Keylime pie was perfection. Open only Wednesday to Saturday with one seating only of about 40 people so reservations are a must. Parking can be challenging so a taxi may be a good option. Plus they’ve got a view to live for.

Wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel. The hotelowners suggested this place for breakfast. It was so good we ended up going all three mornings while in town. Plus, its located in a little store with all types of items you might need or want to stock your hotel room or bags for sightseeing day trips.

My wife and I stumbled upon the Beer Garden and we are glad we did. We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard with a almond tree in the middle of it. We also enjoyed conversation with Nola, the owner, while we enjoyed our local Leatherback draft beer. Looking forward to make the trip back to St. Thomas do we can do it again!!

Reviewed By Sapphire E

Four of us walked up for dinner. It was Val and my first time since the new owners. First impressions were that they spent an lot of time and money on the place and they did a great job. The floor looks like your walking on the ocean, I love it. The chairs have cushions! Our waitress was very nice and attentive.We had some issues like a Bloody Mary I ordered. It was supposed to be the ultimate. When it was brought to me it was plain to see it was not mixed but when I mixed it there was a lot of sediment in the bottom of the glass and it would not break up. I’m not sure what the issue was but I sent it back and ordered a bottle of beer.Another issue was a grilled cheese sandwich was ordered and it took three times for them to get it right? By time the final correct sandwich was brought to the table the rest of us was finished eating.I have to say when they got it right the result was delicious! I ordered a shrimp meal with rice and a vegetable. The shrimp was amazing. The rice delicious and the vegetable was spinach with onions and it was perfect.The issues we had was just due to training of the new personnel which I’m sure they’ll get past and with a kitchen cooking as good as they are I’m sure this is going to be a go to restaurant! I recommend it and so give it a try. Restaurants are not easy to get going on island and they need your support. Hopefully next time I can give them a five star review.Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are working hard to make sure everything is perfect since our reopening a few weeks ago. We hope that you will have a five star experience next time!

We were disappointed we had to take a taxi as water too high from resort in the evening. Food was good, nice view on water but would recommend going during the day for the view.
