Lunch at Lagoonies Today

While a bit out of the way to get to, Lagoonies is a nice setting with good food at reasonable prices. Has a french flair to the menu selections that change daily and are posted on a chalkboard. Wife had deboned fried chicken with mushroom sauce while I had the cheeseburger. With four glasses of chardonnay the total was $50 before tip. Have never been disappointed with the food there.

Hi. Sorry, how do you get there??

Go over causeway, take right at roundabout, go past Carrefour in Cole Bay. Turn right at Ace Hardware. Go down lousy road until almost to the end and then turn left. Go short distance until you see Red Fox sign on the left. Turn right across from that sign. Short distance to Lagoonies (maybe that's why it is mostly locals there). Does that sound like directions in St. Maarten? Good luck.

OK, I kind of understand those directions. Yes, for sure, SXM directions!!!

Food and drinks have always been decent but service (including this March) can be suspect, especially if you are not a "regular".

I got that same vibe last time I was there.

Lagoonies has always been mostly a hangout for Caribbean sailors.

We arrive by dinghy and enjoy visiting with other voyagers, along with partaking in decent food and drink

No, it is not a SXM typical restaurant but much more laid back and pleasant.

We had excellent service. It is true that most of their customers are locals but to me that is one of the charms about that place. We have been numerous times over the past several years and have always been treated well.

Went there last November for the first time. Nice view and ambience, cute bar. Service was OK, had burgers, they were just OK, on a smaller side and definitely not as good as at BBB. Other items on menu looked appealing but didn’t try anything else. Would go again for a change.

It’s been a favorite and an annual visit for us. Laid back. On the marina/ lagoon views. Cast of characters. Good drinks and ok food

We haven't been back in a while, but always enjoyed it there.
Like the Caribbean atmosphere and different menu choices.

If you go to lagoonies it will be assumed that you are a sailor or work in that trade. You are almost certain to meet people who are at some stage of sailing up or down or in or out of the Caribbean nearly any hour they are open due to their reputation and proximity by dingy to places that sailors frequent. The food and drink is fine and the happy hour is an outstanding deal, but all of that is more less secondary to the people and their stories.
