Infamous Skinny Legs in St. John

There’s Nothing Skinny About Skinny Legs in St. John USVI

 

After a long day of beach hopping, Skinny Legs in St. John seemed to be the best place to go and get a bite to eat.

Don’t feed the wild chickens

 

This is a local eatery for cheap eats, great beer, and a fun atmosphere. An equivalent to your fun little pub around the corner at home. However, Skinny Legs, definitely has that extra “oomph” and “pizazz”.

Al Fresco Dining at Skinny legs

A place to let your hair down and be yourself. A place where the community comes together and does fundraisers to help each other out. It’s sort of Coral Bay’s unofficial community center.

What I find cool is every restaurant you go to, you don’t have to wait to be seated. If you see an open table go and take a seat. Nice relaxed atmosphere folks.

“Jane” enjoying her Mahi Mahi sandwich

Our server came over right away. Told us about the specials. Put in our order for drinks (red stripe, please) as we took the quirky surroundings in.

I had an awesome burger with bacon and my friend had the Mahi Mahi sandwich (I got her hooked on a new fish she never has tried). Mahi seems to be the “local” fish in abundance and it’s delicious. Fresh is best, baby!

Souvenir store

Food was great and cheap for the islands.

After dinner, we strolled around the property into the cute little souvenir shops. I of course bought my son a “Skinny Legs” onesy.

Another souvenir shop

A great little spot, that won’t leave you penniless and fills your belly belly.

A definite to visit just to experience the “locals”. They’re a great bunch of people.

The Food is good, the drinks are cheap, and the funkiness is vibing in the air….

It’s like your hole-in-the-wall spot back at home, but far away from home.

I’m in love.
