Walk up to
the converted house, sit on the porch, and order off the blackboard menu. The chef strives
for 'good mood food' using ingredients from St Croix's farms and fishers. Dishes might
include the Cubano pork sandwich, Thai beef salad with fermented black bean vinaigrette,
fish tacos or house-made pasta. Rowdy Joe's has gained a loyal fan base for its ice cream
made on-site, with flavors such as French vanilla praline, or order a margarita made with
local fruits.
