We found this restaurant after recommendations by some locals and we were very happy with our find. It sits on the dock with excellent sunset views. After stopping at a couple restaurants and seeing their prices while visiting VG(food is expensive on VG), we thought Mermaid's was a good value. The quality of food was very good and so was... More

The restaurant is on a dock over the water. It is a very informal place. When we were there most of the diners were expats living on the island. They get a lot of people living on their boats too, I think. It was lobster buffet night. The lobsters are local (i.e. from BVI), one of the few local foods... More

We were staying on Virgin Gorda and one of the boaters took us out for a ride and we pulled up on this great place. We didn't even get off the boat. They handed us our drinks from the boat. Staff were great and locals were just as great. We did not eat but heard the food is great. Fantastic... More

The sun sets right there! Super sweet service. They offer an extensive local buffet on Tuesday and Fridays, but we were too early to eat. Come as you are.

Mermaid's is a must-stop on your trip to Virgin Gorda. The location is amazing, literally right on the water. The food is good, but the service is usually even slower than the typical "island time" you can expect in the BVI, so be prepared for a LONG wait. Very popular with the locals.

Our second trip to Mermaids was as good as the first. Mahi-Mahi was excellently grilled. The $27 price seemed high until we saw the large portion, done to perfection; the sides of cole-slaw, plantain, and grilled veggies made the price seem like a very reasonable deal. Shrimp dish was excellent. Cocktails for $5 was a bonus, as was the view... More

The Tuesday evening BBQ night this week was excellent. The food , fresh salad followed by all u can eat rice and beans , potatoes , veggies, curry mutton , mahi mahi and the headliner roast pig were all full of flavor and cooked to perfection. For under $25 per person ( food) the value hits the spot as well.... More

We've been coming to V. G. for years . This place has it all- friendly people, both local and tourist, a stunning view no matter what time of day, and delicious food and drink. We've had conch fritters from all over the island, and their homemade ones are THE BEST!! With live music often playing and WIFI if you need... More

This restaurant is on the water, literally. You can watch huge tarpon swim under the dock on some days. The local food, beans, rice, crab cakes, etc. is made fresh. Have the local fresh fish of the day, with spices, grilled. It is heavenly, the people are very nice. We ate here a couple of times, delicious. beautiful sunset views... More
