Good place for a burger. Like if you had cooked on the grill in your own back yard. Nothing fancy about this place. Open air bar, they have music every night. Good place to stop if you are checking out the coral bay side of St. John.

Skinny Legs Restaurant is located on the east side of St John in Coral Bay. What a fun place. It's always busy, but I've never had to wait for a table. The burgers are their specialty. You won't be disappointed. The local feral donkeys add an element of interest. Even though it's a bar and grill, it's a great family... 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
