Thank you Mary! What great service! Not only did she bring us delicious food (pork nachos and surf and turf tacos). But she called and made reservations for us at another place for our anniversary! The food was the best we have had on St. John! Love love love! Will go back before we leave!

Neat place. Not extremely special. I wouldn't drive there for the place itself, but if you know you are passing on the way to Salt Pond or other south side beaches, then plan to stop for lunch. The Trap Dog (beef dog with pulled pork and coleslaw on top) is delicious. Drinks: small and just ok. Server was great.

TThe food here is so delicious. It is worth the drive to this side of St. John. A very relaxed atmosphere. Great drinks and the wait staff (Mary) was so friendly. We were able to meet Larry as well. What a beautiful place!!!

Went there 3 times for lunch and had a great time every meal. Like everyone has said service is great, chef does great work, and the boom boom is something you should try. I plan to go back to Concordia and hope to visit this fine establishment again.

This is a great place for a good and affordable meal in St John. Seating is all outside with a tent cover and patio furniture. There were four of us in our group and everyone loved their meals. Drinks are great and cold, so this is a great place to cool down after spending time at the beach. Our server... More

I had the lobster roll, wife had the hot dog, both were really good. Enjoyed a quiet low key chat with Larry and his wife. Especially recommend the Boom Boom. It is a frozen banana drink kind of like a BBC, only better. Take a walk around the side and check out Larry's view off the deck. Got to be... More

Excellent pulled pork nachos and sandwiches, generous portions and reasonable prices. Fish sandwich was also good and seemed very fresh. Something different and definitely laid back. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. Wish we could have gone more than twice.

A good friend recommended the Tourist Trap, and when I first drove by on. The way to the beach, I thought, well, it doesn't look like much. I stopped in post beach for a cocktail and had a Drive Left which was punchy and tasty. Chatted a bit and then headed back to rental. A few days later I stopped... More

The owners of the cottage we stayed at in Coral Bay recommended The Tourist Trap. I am so glad they did. We went there twice in a week. We loved what we got the first time and we had to have it again. Mary recommended the "surf & turf" and we loved it! We met some other vacationers and they... More
