Heading East Bar & Grill — Restaurant in United States Virgin Islands

What a great find. Had sunset cocktails at a nearby spot, but food is average at best. Was going to go to a more touristy spot across the street, but read the reviews about this spot. At first glance, and being a tourist, wasn’t sure. Small counter seating, ample picnic tables under tents outside. Jenny immediately met us at the menu board and helped us place the order. Sauté shrimp, stewed chicken and fresh pan fired fish of the day for my group. Mains were exceptionally good and authentic to the region.

This looks like a very popular spot for the locals and for us tourists lucky enough to pull in and try it. Jenny said her favorite is the oxtail, the at will be ordered next time.

One of the Hispanic females passed me by and I called her ,' M'am, Hello,". She turned around and said oh no im not taking your order (in an annoyed manner) and turner back around. I was a bit taken aback because she clearly didn't want to take my order. I would not recommend any of my friends or family here. No thank you. Management needs to train her in customer service. Another restaurant can...

We saw great reviews for heading east so we decided to check it out. The food is good but they were having some ordering issues. We placed our order and waited over an hour before asking someone about our food. Not sure what happened as it was busy but they seemed like they lost our order. The did apologize and offered to buy us a drink but by 1.5 hours of waiting we just wanted to eat and go home. They finally brought us our food and we didn’t check but we were missing the Mac n cheese we ordered and another side of plantains. We were not sure if they ran out and gave us extra of another side or what. We would try them again but not for a bit...
