La Reine Chicken Shack

Food & Drink · St. Croix (St. Croix District), United States Virgin Islands

An open-air, mid-island St. Croix institution dating back to the 1950s, famous for spit-roasted chicken served with johnnycakes. The menu runs to Crucian classics like stewed goat, whole fried fish and local sides, dished up fast and without fuss. It is where islanders send visitors who ask for the real taste of St. Croix.
