We had read about the burgers before our vacation, so we decided to stop and try one. They taste very fresh, like homemade. The buns are nice and soft. The burgers range in price from $5.00 upwards. This must be a popular place because both locals and tourists stopped. There are picnic tables outside to eat at. This is take... More

Another inexpensive place to eat! Food was very good. $5 burgers. Probably one of the best burgers I had on the island. Went here a couple times when we wanted a lighter supper without having to go to a resort to eat. Open late. Good location, just before the downtown area

Saw the awesome Palace burger online and set myself the challenge before arriving. Not big noting myself but I smashed the challenge!! It was delicious, especially the bacon, and I was kindly asked once finished this gargantuan burger if I wanted more. Not today, thanks but I will be back again.

Milkshakes seem popular but haven't tried them yet, happy hour burgers at $3.50, good decent chips, tried the $17... More

Had heard a lot about this place and glad we went here on our last night. The guy serving was hilarious with his eyebrows up/eyebrows down form of communication and minimal use of voice. Analyzing him was half the fun. The food was really delicious I had a fish burger, one of the best burgers i had ever eaten in... More

We ate here for lunch one afternoon, what a mistake! I'm not usually this scathing in a review but two of us couldn't even finish our carton of chips. They were dry and tasteless and I mean it's just chips, how hard could it be to screw up! Others in my group of 6 had fish, some had nuggets.. all... More
