I visit St Thomas a lot and I always make it a 'to do' list item to eat at The Fat Turtle. The food is great and is a great pit stop while window shopping at Yacht Haven Grande!!! The first things I order are the Five Pepper Dip and a Cussin' Sailor drink!!! Check out the drink menu...The names... More

We dined here as we waited for our excursion (sailing on the Fury). Right on water next to marina. Eight of us - 4 adults and 4 teenaged girls - ate typical American lunch of pizza and burgers. All better than average. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather and marina while we waited. Pricey, but the location and view made... More

You can sit by the water and feed the fish while gawking at the amazing boats docked there. Food was ok, nothing stellar but nothing wrong with it either. seemed considerably mmore expensive thaan most places but I am sure that is due to the cost of the location.

My boyfriend and I had a lunch here in the early afternoon. The location is right on the water with a good view of the harbor. Nothing special about the food. We were SORELY disappointed in the service. We had to go fill our own water glasses at the bar because our waitress wouldn't come check on us and had... More

Went twice in one week and really enjoyed the food. I consider it the best burger on the island. However, drinks are good but food service is very slow. 45 minutes from food order to delivery. Weak. Can be hit or miss sometimes on food delivery speed.

Our party of 4 was seated right away. Drinks quick. Food was slow. Wife's pizza came out 20 minutes or more after 3 other meals. 18% was automatically included in bill. Would not recommend. Too many other good places.

Because of the great location, being right on the water, prices were a bit steep and the appitizers were small. We ordered the calamari and conch fritters and were surprised at the size for the price.
