The beach is beautiful and the service was good but the food wasn't very enjoyable. Our group had a mix of burgers, drinks, and seafood and none of it was very good. The burgers were frozen patties and drinks seemed to be weak. The prices were pretty cheap though. The music and scenery was the only thing worthwhile. more

Fun place.. went there twice on our vacation. Waiter was only nice once we gave him a $5US after the meal. Otherwise he was unplesant both times. We went there for the Lobster though and it did not disappoint. Best Mudslide I've ever had too. more

Went here on two seperate nights first a Tuesday where there was only two other tables with people and locals at the bar. I ordered the chicken roti, I never had anything like that and it really was not bad. I also shared an order of ribs with my friend and they were by far the best ribs I had... more

We only went to the Shiggidy Shack because Cathy's Ocean View (2 spots down the beach) was closed. Everyone kept telling us to go to this restaurant so since our first choice was not available (closed on Monday). We thought we'd give it a try. Food here would be perfect for a family of picky eaters. Simple burgers, fish sandwiches,... more

Good value food with feet in the sand dining but dont dress up in your sunday best! Great for one's kids to run around in the sand but no gastronomic delights here, just solid fare washed down with a few beers. Easy access and worth visiting at least once! more

We were just there for lunch today, 4/29/09 - only one other table of 4 were there and the one waitress couldn't have been ruder. Arrived around 12:30pm and ordered the lobster - she neglected to tell us up front they were out. So it was difficult at that point to get up and leave. Ended up ordering the Mahi... more

Having landed in St. Kitts earlier in the day for a week long business trip, this was my first restaurant experience on the island. I would have to say it was a good one, and better than what I expected. For dinner I had the Mahi Mahi in the lemon butter sauce, grilled veg (including pumpkin) and rice and peas.... more

This is a party atmosphere place. We both had the mahi-mahi and I thought it was ok...not enough of the lemon butter sauce. The service was so-so but there was only 1 waitress for a lot of people. If you want grilled lobster while on the island this is the cheapest place. more

The Shiggidy Shack is an absolute must try while visiting St. Kitts! The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the lobster and the grilled chicken. They are accompanied by rice and beans ( rice and peas as it is called in St. Kitts), tossed salad with French dressing, and fresh local vegetables. You can't beat the view of the... more
