USVI-On-Line

We went to The Tourist Trap today. It's now on our must do list. Food and atmosphere was great . I had the lobster roll and Gary had the special for today. It was a BBQ pork loin sandwich with red onion. I'll post food porn later . Both were excellent!! There was another couple there when we first arrived. We started talking with them and it turns out it was trvljohn and his wife Karen. The forum seems to have a large presence on the island. We ran into Betty from the forum and her husband Jim the first night at La Tapa. I can't believe our week here is almost over. Jost tomorrow!

Jost on your last day? Brave!

We drove by there and it didn't look open. Do they serve "adult beverages"???

Oh yes! I had the drink right, keep left drink. Yummy!!! Gary had a Lime in da Coconut which was also great. They are closed Sunday and Monday.

Then next time, we're stopping!! What's in a "Drink Right, Keep Left"??

Not really sure... Lots of rum . BTW, Gary says hands down, Joe's Rum Hut makes the best Lime in da Coconut.

Lori,
We mentioned the On STJ blog (your son was in it) and how much he loved the meatball sandwiches. He (Larry)remembered you guys right away .

We drove by on a Sunday (I believe) when they're typically closed but they were in the midst of a going away party for a young lady that was moving stateside and on her way to Martha's Vineyard, I believe.

Anyway, the gang there welcomed us and we ate & drank for awhile. Larry played harmonica with the two-piece "band" and a good time was had by all.

My sweetie had a Drink Right - Keep Left and it was pretty tasty. There was something like 6 different rums in that sucker! The lobster roll was great.

About as laid-back a place as it can get.

Brenda- According to Larry, we just missed you guys at the Tourist Trap yesterday. My group gives this place 8 thumbs up! The drinks were amazing and my grouper taco was so good that I hope to be back for another today! Food porn soon come! YUMMY!

Hope you guys have a a good day on Jost...we couldn't make it today. Villa Gravity may be upon us!

Bummer (for us) that you are not going to Jost today . Sorry we missed you at The Tourist Trap too! Hopefully lots more forumites read this and give it a try. It's amazing what food he turns out of that tiny kitchen!

We give the Tourist Trap 10 thumbs up. We loved it. The owner asked us how we heard about him. I told him online and that there was a boy that wanted to go back everyday for th meatball sandwich. We all had something different and ALL of it was fabulous! We were there the day before the party for the server moving Statesid and yes, it was Martha's Vineyard. We loved it!!!

Four thumbs up from this couple! We LOVED the lobster rolls...they were PERFECT. Blaine had a hotdog, too, and said it was great. Everyone there was soooo friendly that I felt like we were back home! When we said we'd heard about the place from VIOL forum, a couple there said "Oh then you must know Ruth!" The lady works for Ruth at St. John Spice It was as close as I got, to meeting any of the St. John superstars

The TT is gem!! We loved it in December and our only reget was that we didn't get there enough. We will be back several times in June!
