I had googled restaraunts prior to our trip to St. Thomas; i wanted to make sure i knew where some good choices were. I checked menus, prices, etc to make sure it was suitable for our tastes and budget. Glady's was close (downtown Charlotte Amalie harbour) to our hotel. The first day we went downtown we found it nestled in... more

Very good food and atmosphere in a casual environment. The Conch Fritters were great. I love hot sauces but really wasn't impressed by Gladys's home made hot sauces. more

One of the best meals on the island. The curry chicken is amazing and you get a huge portion! Service was warm, friendly, and exceptional! Don't miss out on the homemade hot sauces...yum!! And the best part is you can buy some and have them shipped home! They only serve breakfast and lunch (they close at 5pm). more

I would definitely recommend Gladys's to anyone looking for a delicious lunch with local flair. My wife, son, friend and myself went after reading about it in Fodors. We were on a tight schedule (trying to catch ferry to Tortola), and Pauline (our waitress) made sure our food came on time and we were not late to the ferry. I... more

We had read favorable reviews about Gladys' Cafe so we popped in for lunch. We were NOT disappointed. Service, atmosphere, and food was fabulous! We had the "special"....stewed chicken (jerk flavor), rice and pigeon peas, mac and cheese, plantains, and fresh baked bread....$12. The BEST part of the visit.....classic R&B playing softly in the background when Gladys started singing along... more

A great little place tucked away in the touristy downtown of Charlotte Amalie. Well worth seeking out. When I arrived i could smell the unmistakable aroma of Caribbean curry. Don't miss the curry chicken roti. It is awesome. The live performance by Glad's really make the whole experience unique. more

My husband and I ate at Gladys's our first morning in STT based on the TA reviews. The food was great! We were there around 9am and the place was empty, so we were served quickly and our food was very tasty. Good portion sizes, great service and good prices! more

Hard to say much about Gladys's that the NY Times has not already said. It's in an old warehouse building in an alley in the 'touristy" downtown Charlotte Amalie. Nevertheless, it is a jewel for the food, the charming service, and the music. We went for breakfast twice and found it to be not only a great breakfast, but a... more

I does not seem like we went to the same place as all the raving descriptions I found here. We went to Gladys' for lunch while on a week's vacation on St. Thomas. The service was quite average. We had an older woman as our server. One of the specials was "Stew Chicken." I asked how it was cooked. She... more
