After spending the day enjoying The Bath’s and Devils Bay, we had a great lunch at Mad Dog’s located at the entrance to the park. We chatted with the owner and his daughter while we enjoyed lunch and the views. Everything is cooked to order,...don’t miss the homemade conch fritters! The fish wrap and the grilled chicken sandwich were fresh and tasty. This is a well-loved local place.More

GREAT place to eat NEXT DOOR to Top of the Baths, Virgin Gorda. Good food, good drink, reasonable price. The owner stayed open a bit late to feed up. I've been here before, came again, and will stop here next time at the Baths, Virgin...Gorda.More

My sister and I visited Mad Dog twenty + years ago. We were so excited to see that it was still there today. The hurricanes did destroy the original structure, but it was built back better. Jude, our waiter, was great!

Visited while bare boat sailing the BVI. We moored for the night at Leverick Bay and took a cab to the baths. Cafe is located just outside the Baths entrance. Great wings, best I’ve ever had!

Definitely go here when visiting the baths. The conch fritters were the best we’ve had and the all the other food we ordered was made with such fresh ingredients. The service was excellent too!

This place can't be beat. Jude and Beverly have something special. We always enjoy stopping by for lunch after the Baths crowds have gone. The food is always fresh and the conch fritters are the best I have had anywhere.

If you go to the Baths, make sure you don't miss this local and exceptional restaurant. If you don't want to go to the Baths, this is worth a visit anyway. Great food and real value for money. Intelligent and friendly owners.

Entirely rebuilt after the 2017 hurricane - but looks identical to the old building from the 1990s. Only place in the world I order a pina colada - as no place makes one better (and the setting doesn't hurt). Alwasy fun people to meet

The owner here was so sweet and accommodating for my vegan sisters. He told us all about the rock formations and the area. The guava lemonade was amazing and so was the grilled chicken sandwich! This is a local business that we loved supporting. They...even had cool hats for sale!More

After spending a few hours at the baths, we hiked to the top and had a drink at Mad Dog. The owner was so nice and the drinks were great!

The chef is definitely on Island Time - so glad we were not in a rush. Sit back and have a beer (maybe 2) while you wait. The fish sandwich (with onions) was DELICIOUS! I at fish pretty much everyday on the island, and a...local told me this was the best sandwich on the island.. He was right.More

We were told they were the best and we agree. I would give them a 5. The food we ordered was good too. The reason for the 4 was the service. A cheeseburger was finally served as the rest of us were almost done with...our lunch.More

The Mad Dog is famous, and for good reason. It's a tiny little place rebuilt since Hurricane Irma in 2017 and with a broader menu including the go-too historic favorites: hot dogs and BLTs, with a Red Stripe. Now, there is locally made lemonade, conch...fritters, fish sandwiches and more. Full bar. Tres casual, super fun.More

We heard from a local to stop by here rather than eating at the main dining area at The Baths and we were glad we did. The other area is touristy but this is a cute little hut right next door with a much more...local feel. Jude is the bartender there is vert friendly. He made pina colada’s and fried fish cakes. Both delicious! Def recommend this while you are near the Baths.More
