It’s a must on St. John Coral Bay. Fun atmosphere. Food and drinks were great. Reasonably priced. I will say their Josephines salad greens may be the best you will ever have! They sure were for us. Would definitely go back.

Skinny Legs Bar and Grill is a FIVE-STAR, laid back, beach wear stop for brunch, lunch, dinner, or food-to-go, located near the waterfront at Coral Bay, St John, USVI. Our early dinner consisted of Josephine’s organic green salad with grilled mahi mahi, a cheeseburger and chips plate, and (drum roll)… THE BEST key lime pie thus far on the island (complete with Santa topping). Check the food and menu photos. ENJOY!

So our Skinny Legs trip was kind of an accident – we drove all the way over to Salt Pond Beach b/c it was raining in Cruz Bay and we were told the “dry” side of the island is always better when that happened. It was raining harder at Salt Pond by the time we got there! So rather than trek down a muddy trail and sit in the rain, we backtracked for lunch at Skinny Legs. We weren’t the only ones with that idea; the place was heaving. Fortunately they have a lot of parking, we kind of wedged our jeep between two boat trailers in the harbor parking lot next door. After tracking down the guy who had the waitlist (turned out to be the owner!) we tucked ourselves away in a corner of the bar with a couple of beers and waited for our table. As we watched the staff bob and weave through the hectic crowd, it occurred to me that they all seemed to have really good attitudes for being as busy as they were. The bartender always delivered our beers with an unhurried smile, even though he had a stack of drink orders. The waitstaff very politely excused themselves as they zipped around the space. It was really impressive. We finally sat down after about a half-hour wait (which is what we were quoted). The service continued to be friendly and relaxed, and the burgers were ah-may-zing! Very happy the weather gave us an excuse to try Skinny Legs; it will be definitely be on our must-visit list next time we’re in St. John.

YOU HAVE TO GO HERE WHILE IN ST. JOHN. You won’t regret it!!!
My father-in-law recommended this place, and we actually showed up on a day they were closed, and decided to go back on a different day during our trip. The drive was 10000% worth it!! I went in thinking burgers are burgers, but I was wrong.
I got the raspberry colada and it’s my favorite drink now. Hands down. I also ordered the special burger of the day, which had pepper jack cheese, grilled pineapple, and mango chutney on it. My family’s been planning to recreate this since our visit.
The atmosphere is great, with little chickens running around. We also went to the gift shop attached to the restaurant and got some merch while we waited for the food. Will definitely revisit when we’re back in paradise and bring a flag or license plate to leave our mark!

We stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday night. Seated immediately. Service was great. I had chicken sandwich and Rum Punch. She had Mahi Mahi with no bun and Painkiller. Both were standard for the island. Great atmosphere. Lots of parking. Large gift shop.

Perfectly fine place to get a burger and beer after a hike or snorkeling.
Food is a good value (decent size BLT for $8) but not extraordinary, the mahi sandwich was basically just a fish steak on a bun.
Service and bar staff were friendly, no problems.
Atmosphere is like any sports bar in North America, which I think was the most surprising after hearing so much about it, there aren’t great views or much local character it’s just a bunch of college football deco and TVs.
For a group that’s sun-tired or to read at the bar solo for a bit it’s totally fine, but if you’re only in Coral Bay briefly there are more interesting spots to try.

Skinny legs because all the ‘no-see-ems’ and mosquitoes will suck the blood right from your legs and make them skinny lol no seriously, it’s very annoying. It’s because the restaurant is right near an inlet of water. Bring bug spray. Food is not bad but not exciting at all. One major letdown is, they don’t have French fries, just potato chips. Staff is nice. Drinks are small but decent. Bathrooms will make you gag. A porta potty would be a MUCH better idea considering they tell you not to flush the toiletpaper… I’ve been going here once every time we visit for 6 years but now I’m over it. Maybe when it sells things will change?

This is a great local bar/pub with a lively laid back atmosphere. Theres a few TV’s around the bar area, plenty of tables too. Theres food looked terrific & drinks were not only well priced but darn good. There’s a wonderful store attached to Skinny Legs & the owner is wonderful. There’s prices are excellent for St John clothing & jewelry. Probably the best prices by far of anyplace I’ve been to on the island of St. John. There’s parking in the front (store a few steps down) and parking in the read (pub area).

Great atmosphere, very beachy. Service was iffy and slightly unattentive, the mahi mahi was over cooked and lacked any flavor. Chili dog was good and nightly special burger was good. Drinks were delicious. Over all we would rate it mid
