After several years of going to St John we finally made it to Skinny Legs and were not disappointed. Spent the day on the end East End and on the way back to Cruz Bay we stopped in during happy hour and had the burger of the day which was delicious. Also the drink of the day which was a... More

We were looking forward to visiting this beach bar, but it was just meh. They are known for hamburgers, and my husband's was quite good. I don't recommend branching out to try anything else. Since I can get a great hamburger at home in land locked Colorado, I went with the Mahi mahi sandwich, and got the worst meal of... More

No trip to the other side of the island is complete without a stop to Skinny Legs. Great burgers and an always packed, lively crowd makes this place a comfortable favorite

We have been coming for 23 years and Skinny's still has the best burger on the island. The best time to come - after a good day of snorkeling and swimming. Best way to enjoy - get a COLD Caribe or Presidente beer and sit at the bar. Fish sandwiches are also a must. Combine w local hot sauces and... More

We drove by Skinny Legs and decided to stop in on a whim. It's quite a building, exposed to outside. We saw lots of locals there, which is always a good sign. The night we went live music was playing which added to the experience. The specialty drink for the night was excellent as were our burgers. The service was... More

Let's be clear... This is a dive... And what a wonderful dive it is! We rented a Jeep for the week on St John... Snorkled most mornings then off to a cute lunch spot then back to a different beach for more snorkeling... Skinny Legs was our lunch spot for three of our seven days! While it is a dive... More

After a very rainy morning at the beach, we were determined to not let the day go to waste. Well actually, it was already quite good since some of the group were able to snorkel in the rain and the others sat contently in the car reading good books. Anyway, we decided to venture to Skinny Legs Bar & Grill... More

Great scene. Open air restaurant with assorted tables with benches and chairs. Loved the laid back vibe. Friendly service. Drinks were great! Food wasn't the greatest. Chicken sandwich was flavorless and hotdog was a hotdog. Prices average for the island.

Coral Bay is an island unto itself. It's the Hippie enclave on the island and Skinny Legs sort of defines the area. As casual as it gets and everything is good and fun. Great with kids and adults as well. Good drinks for the big ones and a outdoor play area for the little ones. Gift shops with the best... More

If you stopped for a quick bite to eat and a T shirt to take home this place is still the same after all these years. The burgers are still a big ball of hamburger that is thrown on the grill and smashed flat during cooking which is how I like my done nice and juicy with a piece of... More
