Cuzzin's Caribbean Restaurant & Bar
$$, Caribbean, St. Thomas
User Rating: **** 4.1
Fodor's Review:
The top picks in this restaurant in a 19th-century livery stage are Virgin Islands staples. For lunch, order tender slivers of conch stewed in a rich onion butter sauce, savory braised oxtail, or curried chicken. At dinner, the island-style mutton, served in a thick gravy and seasoned with locally grown herbs, offers a tasty treat that's deliciously different. Side dishes include peas and rice, boiled green bananas, fried plantains, and potato stuffing.

Breaks my heart to not see this place get all 5s

Have been there numerous times for lunch and have never ever been disappointed. Yes, it will be difficult to find a place to park, so take a taxi. Yes, it will be crowded when there are six cruise ships in town, so go on a day when there are fewer ships. No, there is no water view, but you'll likely dine at plenty of other places that have the view. What you won't find as often, are the fabulous Caribbean flavors, friendly service and island atmosphere that you always get at Cuzzins.RATING: 5.0
OK just don't expect much

Off Waterfront AND Main, this small place is well intended (Jan 9, 2007) but did not deliver great food. It was good but not great and hard to find. Advice...take a taxi and order one of the standard seafood dishes, but not conch as they did the typical "eraser" preparation. Pasta was flavorful.RATING: 3.0
Great Island Fare

My wife and I had lunch there last week. It's the perfect place to take a break for lunch after shopping at Charlotte Amalie. The regional food was excellent although there was certainly a selection of more traditional items. The interior of the restaurant is very nice.RATING: 4.4
