\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

St Croix has a great mix of fine dining ,casual dining , quick bites and even fare for the eclectic.
\nYour vacation rental may have a guide to local restaurants for you to browse through.
\nHowever, to truly get the best that St Croix has to offer, you will have to look off the beaten path a bit.<\/b><\/center>FEATURED PICKS:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DININGBLUE’S BBQ<\/strong>
\nYou’ll smell it before you see it!
\nThis roadside stand has some of the best slow roasted BBQ on island.
\nThey have a regular menu, but also feature daily specials such as half chicken with a side and slow roasted pork ribs.

\"DINING THE FRED
\n<\/strong>Another place that I highly recommend for fine seaside dining.
\nThe Fred is located on the beach at 605 Strand St. in Frederiksted.
\nThe food and atmosphere are wonderful. At sunset, you may even get to see the “green flash”.
\nThey have live entertainment on some nights and also do a Cultural night with local cuisine and entertainment like Mocko Jumbies and fire dancers

\"DININGQUALITY GROCERY
\n<\/strong>Ok, not technically a restaurant but this is a good one to know.

\nThink Starbucks.. www.thebistrovi.com<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DINING ROADSIDE BBQ<\/strong>
\nOk, this is one of those roadside places you have to check out.
\nIt’s nothing more than a woman aside a gas station with a smoker grill but she has the most amazing food.
\nIt’s another that you will smell before you see it.

\nCash only.
\nYou will find her at an old red and yellow gas station very close to Blue’s BBQ on Northside Rd.<\/p>\n

\"DINING OFF THE WALL<\/strong>
\nIn my opinion, the best little bar on St Croix
\nThis beach side bar has some of the best pizza on island.
\nThey have sandwiches, wraps, burgers and daily specials.
\nYou’ll want to sit and relax and take in the view here.
\nEnjoy views of St Thomas and the BVI’s while you relax to the sound of waves crashing on the rocks.
\nYou’ll find some tourists here, but mostly locals stopping for a bite and some conversation.
\nThis is great spot to sit and have a cold one, catch up on local gossip or get some sight seeing tips from the locals.
\nStay for the “sunset bell” and get a free sunset shot !
\nOnly drink it when the bell rings though…wait for it…wait for it..GO !

\"DININGZIGGY’S MARKET<\/strong>
\nEat Here and Get Gas !!
\nThat’s their tag line.
\nBesides a gas station and convenient island market, you’ll find some of the best local food around.
\nThe bar on the side, The Libation Station, is a great place to stop for a quick cold one and a bite to eat.
