After a trip to Taylor Bay to watch the sunset we decided to eat at Chalkies based on the reviews and prices. We’d been eating PB&J sandwiches and bologna sandwiches at our condo to save money and was ready for a real meal. We ordered Green Teas from the bar and a Margherita pizza and Fried Plantains for appetizers. Drinks came quickly and the pizza and plantains were brought out in a decent time. Drinks were good and the pizza was delicious. The fried plantains were very bland and we did not enjoy them. There were four of us and for our entrees we ordered the Tostones Cheeseburger, Grilled Veggie Panini, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and a Meat Lovers Pizza. All entrees were great. The burger and panini came with fries and they were very good as well. We all loved our entrees. The only thing I didn’t like was my burger came on fried plantains for the buns. The menu started it did but I didn’t understand it was a fried plantain. I was thinking it was a bun made with plantains. Since the fried plantains were not very good I didn’t care for it as a bun. The burger was good otherwise. If ordering that burger again I would just request it be served on a regular bun. It was Friday night and there was a live DJ playing music. The music was good but for my taste it was a little too loud. I like music but I also like to be able to converse with the people at my table. Our server’s name was Giovy and she was super. The staff overall was great. I gave the place four stars based on the Fried Plantains and the loud music. I’d given it a 4.5 rating but don’t have that option. I would definitely go back if we come back to the...
Read moreWas looking forward to a nice dinner at Chalkies. The restaurant had good reviews so we wanted to give it a chance. The coconut shrimp appetizer, conch fritters and fish tacos were good. However the lobster entre was expensive and dry. Tasted like they were in a freezer for months (very bad for $36 each). Fish and chips were mediocre, Oz Tail was very nice. Surprising that the Pizza was horrible. Definitely a frozen crust. Never had a seafood Pizza so was very anxious to try it. However it was terrible. Staff was very nice and friendly. Place was so quiet so likely just not busy enough to maintain fresh food. Hope your experience is better. We won't go back...
Read moreThis spot is so awesome! First we had lunch from the beach spot which was absolutely delicious. We came to the actual location for dinner and because we heard “sports bar” and being avid hockey fans, we needed a spot to watch the New Jersey Devils game. The staff was super friendly and did everything they could to get the game on for us which on this island is not very easy. Even when the game buffered, they did everything to get it back on. The food was even better here. My husband loves pork chops and couldn’t stop raving about his jerk chop. My chicken was delicious and the fried plantains were great! Would definitely recommend! We will be back while we are...
