No Bones Cafe — Restaurant in Saint Croix

NO BONES IS NOT ON ISLAND TIME :) YOU HUNGRY? WHY WAIT?? This cute little hole in the wall sports bar is QUITE SURPRISING and WORTH going to. They close at 830, not 9 like google says, but when i called at 8:09pm to inquire about reservations and seating they were very friendly, and did not turn me away. So thankful because WE WERE STARVING, and things close early around here. We were so happy that we were able to make it there before 8:30 and quickly placed our order. The staff VERY FRIENDLY and this is probably the only place on the whole island that IS NOT on island time. We were able to get in, eat and get out in 40 min, Unheard of this whole trip. that's usually just the wait for the first appetizer...but i digress... I got a soup and teriyaki steak salad. it was yummy. my spouse got the Philly cheese steak, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals! I could see what the other reviews are saying about the food, however, we didn't experience that at all with what we got. so sandwiches, soup and salad seems to be where it's at with them. We only ordered soda so can't speak for the bar drinks but they were mixing up a storm and taking some fancy requests from some particular customers while we were there. This place is not super pricey either like some other places around the island...but that being said they seem to have like two "main" prices -- it's like $13, or $18. So that was notable. But a meal for two was like $44 bucks (with soda no drinks), pretty reasonable price imo! Waitress was THE BEST we have had ALL WEEK ON THE WHOLE ISLAND, including the resort!!! SHE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND FAST, KNOWLEDGABLE AND WELCOMING. The ambiance is cool, want to note that there are sound deadening panels above the booths super cool and niche. It helps keep private...

Typical dive bar vibe. Service was very good, waiter was nice and attentive. The low rating is from the horrible scombroid poisoning I got from this place. Ordered a medium rare tuna steak, it had a peppery taste in my mouth, but I figured it was seasoning. Well the next 12 hours said otherwise. It could be an island thing, but all the food I’ve gotten, with an exception to the mills wings and pizza, has been extremely mid. This food was below mid. Rice/beans were flavorless, veggies were soggy/ obviously frozen steam ready. Key lime pie was the worst I’ve had, and I get it everywhere. Rediwhip cream, custard was more lime and strange texture, crust was a miss, almonds never match well on KLP, and there was this faux meringue that was more of a frosting. It was more of a lemon cheesecake, but even at that, I wouldn’t finish it. Wouldn’t return. 9/10 times on these island, you’re better off cooking your own food, easier, better tasting, less worry of food poisoning, satisfying. Wouldn’t never return even if I...

We came here for lunch, my husband saw they had a philly cheesesteak and got pretty excited. When you walk in, there are various sports photos and décor in the tables and on the walls. We are Packer fans and got a little excited when we saw a Lombardi trophy replica but were sad to see it was for the Patriots. I won’t dock them for being Pats fans of course… I really liked that they had a tv at each table that had the specials posted so it was easy to see what they were no matter where you were sitting and you didn’t have to try to remember what they were. My husband had the philly, he said it was really good but that the bun got pretty soggy – although you can’t avoid that entirely with a philly, he thought the bun could have been toasted a bit more. I had their lasagna special and it was really good, only thing I would say is that I would have liked a bit more sauce with the meat lasagna. Overall, super friendly staff and good food. I would eat here again next time we are...
