The vast majority of restaurants in the Simpson Bay area are located right along the main road and can easily be seen during a drive through there.
Our favorites in this immediate area include - but are not limited to - The Yacht Club, Luna Rosa, and Skipjacks. If you want to veer a bit off the main road, the Hideaway near LaVista and SBR is also very good. So many restaurants - so little time and these places just skim the top of the list.
This area is as safe as any other area of the island, IMHO. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

We always try to eat at Skipjacks and Pineapple Pete when we visit the island. If you are interested in burgers, we really like the Buccaneer Beach Bar, on Billy Foley Road, as the best burgers on the island.

Many good options in Simpson Bay.
Another favorite of many, although not in Simpson Bay, is Mark's Place near The Grand Marche on Bush Road near Philipsburg.

PineapplePete said: Even though Pineapple Pete does not have sandwiches on the menu, any of the wraps could be made into a sandwich as we always have french bread in the kitchen. Just have to ask your waiter and they would be more than happy to accommodate. Then you should inform your server, not what we were told. We were told the french bread was small and hard served as a side for bread. He specifically stated it was not meant for sandwiches. as a restaurant owner I don't understand why you would sell a Philly as a wrap, but not on a proper hoagie roll. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> we enjoyed your food, but would not return for lunch, I love bread <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

TravelHat said: <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />Can you imagine Pat's or Gino's offering a wrap option. But you're not at Pat's or Gino's, you're at Pineapple Pete on an island in the Caribbean. I will never understand traveling and expecting, or even wanting, food like you get at home. Don't misunderstand; I don't have a problem in the world if that's what you want to do.....it's just not what I do when I travel. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Pierre has one of the most successful restaurants on SXM. He really does not have to defend himself to you. If everything on SXM is the same as at home, why leave home?

That's all fine and we love trying all kinds of food. Why call it a Philly and not serve bread, surely not a caribbean name. He does not have to defend himself at all, he can serve what he wants. I just thought it was odd, when I asked for the wrap on bread,I was told no. The menu is very good

Perhaps due to the actual ingredients of the wrap/sandwich. You are not in Philly, you are in the Caribbean and in a restaurant run by a very successful French Canadian. Kind of like the term "BBQ". Many different meanings, meats, preparation styles, sauces, etc. I would not expect the same "BBQ" in the Caribbean I would get in Texas or North Caroline or the midwest. It is a very regional thing and means different things to different people.

Damn, almost as much emotion expressed here as in some of the discussions about the best rental car company. Keep it flowing like a thick BBQ sauce.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

sail2wind said: Rural carrier, don't know why your so angry. We are foodies and love eating all origins of food. We eat out almost every meal, sometimes breakfast in the room or on the boat. This by no means is a Caribbean thing. I won't go to Topper's because they refuse to serve water. I now know if I go to P.P that they do not serve sandwiches. Your line of logic with the BBQ analogies falls short on what my comment was about. Exactly, call it a sint marteen beef wrap. If you are unaware of your surroundings ( cruise ship travelers) and you want something familiar it doesn't deliver. BTW as a restaurant guy as well, the answer is always yes, the question is "how". Get out the bread and make it happen. I get the sponsorship thing but we need to be objective

Rural carrier, don't know why your so angry. I am not nor was I angry in any fashion. Just trying to make a point and a comparison. I was in a restaurant the other day and they had a "Philly cheesesteak" pizza on the menu, should that have been on a proper hoagie roll also? If a menu states a "wrap", then I expect a wrap with the listed ingredients. If a sandwich, then the same between some sort of bread and if a pizza then something on baked dough. I am all for reviews and opinions, good, bad and indifferent and everyone has different tastes. Not everything is going to be the same as one experiences at home or in the states or in other parts of the world.

In my opinion this conversation has gotten silly. Started as discussion about Simpson Bay restaurants and turned into "Philly" style vs "Pineapple" style cheese steak. I know sometimes conversations go sideways, but this is a bit much.
