GO!!
We had a one day stop off the cruise ship. After exploring the island for most of the day, the four of us were hungry, but not famished. We wanted to have lunch where locals would go. We asked the manager of a gift shop where SHE would go to have lunch:
"Make a right, go down three alleys and make another right. You'll see it down on the left." Seriously?
In spite of the sketchy directions, we found it! Locals and Cruisers had the place about half full at 2:30 in the afternoon. We shared the Jerk Chicken and the Curried Chicken, and two Piña Coladas. The chicken was well prepared, juicy. neither dry, nor tough. In spite of our cruise ship food over-indulgence we were blown away by how good the food was!! Trying the hot sauces were fun, too.
The place was clean, the staff friendly, the bathrooms were further down the alley, supervised by a friendly woman, and shared by several stores patrons.
Go to Gladys' if you are in St. Thomas!
Noms: We give 5 out of 5 -- it was a little pricy -- but not too bad for a resort area
