When you get off the ferry at Cruz Bay, the first restaurant you see is Cruz Bay Landing. It’s fun to explore all the wonderful eateries across the island, but don’t overlook this place! Good food, good service, and reasonable pricing. For lots of people, it’s their go-to restaurant for a meal while waiting for the ferry. But it’s also a great breakfast and lunch place, prior to a day on the island.
In our case, we went twice during our 2023-24 holiday trip. While waiting for the VITRAN bus to Salt Pond (only $1!), we had a wonderful breakfast at Cruz Bay Landing. I had the veggie omelet, my wife had one of her favorites, huevos rancheros. Both were delicious, filling, and served hot. All the vegetable components were fresh. It’s also worth noting that the coffee was great. We’re not coffee snobs, but we do enjoy a good mug (or 2, or 3) of coffee, and CBL’s coffee was wonderful.
Our second visit was also a breakfast as waited for the ferry to STT. The restaurant seemed packed, but they found us a table. We split a breakfast bowl. Again, outstanding.
I’ve had lunch there on previous trips, but the breakfasts are so darn good that I tend to think of it as a breakfast place, and the dinner menu looks inviting, as well. We’ll have to give it a try on our next trip.

Amazing food, I'd recommend the Landing shrimp, and fish & chips. Great atmosphere seated quickly also didn't have to wait long for a seat. The swango for a drink before dinner cooled me down in this heat.

St. John VI....The catch of the day was Blackened Snapper. It was completely raw except for the edges when it was brought out to the table. RAW. The waitress apologized and brought out jerk chicken. Better, but the thought of the fish completely ruined my dinner. My husband got the crab cakes. Not true crab cakes, but okay. I expected The Landing. I will not be back at this restaurant.

Love this local spot. My wife is vegan so her options are limited. But Cruz Landing has vegan options for breakfast and lunch. A must stop before heading out for excursions

We really enjoyed our meals at Cruz Bay Landing. We first went there for dinner & everything was excellent! We had the calamari, coconut shrimp & crab cakes and jerk chicken. My husband said he orders chicken out a lot and the jerk chicken was some of the best cooked & tasting he’s had. We returned twice after that for breakfast and once in the evening for ice cream. I love that they have a whole menu of coffee drinks (even frozen lattes!). I tried the coco mocha & thin mint froze lattes and they were better than Starbucks. Their pancakes for breakfast are huge and delicious, the cinnamon roll ones were my favorite. My husband also had the crab cake breakfast both times he liked it so much. The staff is great & they do not make you feel rushed. We had to wait at breakfast for a table but both times less than 10 minutes and it’s definitely worth waiting for! If we ever make it back to St. John this will definitely be our first & last stop! :)
Great first stop on the island.
Food was ok.
Service was great.
Drinks was delicious.
We try Baileys iced coffee and couple different cocktails. All of them was just perfect.
The only negative thing that i have to say is that the bathroom is disgusting. Look like people who walking by using it also... need a lot of attention

Easily the worst meal on the island. Not even close. 25 minute wait for a cup of drip coffee. Stared at the bathroom from my seat. Meal came after fifty five minutes, well after other tables came and went. and bacon was raw, eggs were hard boiled, sauce was water and toast was raw. No one asked a simple how is your meal? Avoid at all costs.
We ate at the bar today and the staff were great - especially the bar tender. We could see other patrons being unreasonable and kind of rude. Tourists should try to treat local staff better whenever they can.
Food was really good too! We got an egg white omelet and a breakfast sandwich and both were delicious. Might go back tomorrow!

We went here for brunch & we were so satisfied with our meals!
Outdoor & indoor seating is present.
We tried the huevos rancheros & tofu scramble!
Would recommend this place.
We also made our way later on in the evening to sit by the bar, play a few card games & enjoyed live music!
