Texas Pit BBQ
Waterfront Drive, Charlotte Amalie
Take-out only
Inexpensive
You can't miss the mouth-watering aroma of the barbecued
meats that wafts through town from the mobile grills and
stands set up on the Charlotte Amalie waterfront and two
other locations, weekdays after 4 pm. This new dining choice
is the brainchild of Bill Collins, a long-time resident, origi-
nally from Austin, Texas. Barbecued ribs, beef brisket and
chicken are the meats prepared, but it is Bill's secret sauce
that makes them special. Local lore has it that famous chef,
James Beard, loved it. Sides include coleslaw, rice and po-
tato salad. Fresh bread too. Great idea for villa renters. No
credit cards.
(340) 776-9579. Other locations - Red Hook

Cold Stone Creamery
American Yacht Harbor
Red Hook
(340) 777-2777
Service is slow in this ice cream shop because decisions are
so hard to make. There are dozens of flavors to choose from,
made fresh in each store daily. Then there are such mix-ins
as brownies, nuts, candies and fruits to decide on. Your se-
lections are then placed on a cold granite stone and creamed
together before being placed in a freshly-baked waffle cone
or bowl. Should you prefer, you can order an “original,”
which is a specific concoction. There's cherry lovers cheese-
cake, mud pie mojo or chocolate devotion. Smoothies and ice
cream cakes are sold as well. Open 11 am-10 pm daily. Also
at Havensight Mall.
