We couldn't find the way to get up to this place at first but finally found a little hallway around the back. Stopped in around 4pm and saw only one guy working. He is the bartender, grillmaster, and waiter during the day. He said it gets busier in the evenings with more staff but he did an awesome job all... More

We stopped there for their Tuesday $20 all you can eat BBQ dinner. We were not disappointed. Its in the lumberyard building on 2nd floor. It is a casual bar/restaurant with great views overlooking the ferry docks. There were 2 ladies playing guitar and singing the night we were there and they were decent. We opted to try a little...

If you don't like BBQ and country music then you probably aren't considering going here, and shouldn't go. However, if you do like the those, stop in and have a great time. Remember it's cash only.

Great atmosphere, view, and food. The staff could be a bit more friendly and consistent. Have gone several times when the menu is not all available and they are only serving one or two choices. The bbq is outstanding when available.

We stopped here to kill sometime before our boat was ready to head back to St. Thomas and our cruise ship. It's a nice view and the drinks were cold! Only wish we hadn't eaten before this, the BBQ food smelled so good! I would like to go back someday!

We were excited to try out the BBQ at Barefoot Cowboy. We heard about this place from FB and on TA. All 6 of us had the all you can eat special for $20 per person, because we wanted to try everything. Only 1 of the group went back for seconds. Honestly I can say there was not one thing... More

Stopped in to have a quick bite and a cold drink after a full day at the beach. Fun unassuming place that had great beer and very nice rum punch. The Nacho plate with the beef brisket was fresh and well made. I'd love to go back.

We had a hankering for some good BBQ and decided to try this place at the Lumberyard. They definitely make it on site because there were stacks of wood everywhere. The price and food portions were good although being from the south, it just wasn't as tasty. The slaw was peppery and the BBQ had a different flavor not something... More

I visit the island often. When I do I always visit Wayne at Barefoot Cowboy. I love the smell, taste, and portion size of his food. In addition, the drink specials are great and I love the live music aspect of the bar. It's a great place to have some food, laughs, and drinks right after a boat day. Most... More
