Polly's At the Pier Cafe

I went to Polly's at the Pier when Iwo Jima was docked in Fredricksted. This was not my first time here, but it will probably be the last. I went in around 2:00pm on a Friday and ordered a cheese quesadilla. It was busy, but not packed. I was told it may be a bit since orders were ahead. I get it 100% I've worked in the industry. After about 20ish minutes I asked how it was going with my order as the place was emptying out. The owner, I'm assuming, went to check and then told me they were working on it now. After another 15 minutes I asked her again. She went back and told me the same thing. One of the workers came up to me and asked what I was waiting on. I told her a cheese quesadilla and it has now been 45 minutes. She came back and told me the exact same thing. I immediately asked for a refund and the owner then brought it out. She asked if I still wanted the refund or the quesadilla. I took the quesadilla and left. Now, I am not one to normally complain; however, this was worse than a quesadilla I could've made at home. The cheese didn't even cover the quesadilla and so flat. I'm disgusted I paid $13 for this PLUS waited for 45 minutes. **The last picture was from November of last year, 2024.

Great little spot by the pier. Large selection of food; breakfast is served all day. Ice cream, smoothies, drinks. Large indoor space and an interior open air patio. Right on the water. We got the Caribbean Jerk Wrap, Biscuits & Gravy, and Grilled Chicken Quesadilla. All were excellent. Service was great. Good spot for lunch.

Ordered 2 Classic BLT, they each had 1 slice tomato, 1 leaf of lettuce . This is crazy & not a good experience. It looked like, the sandwich was just thrown in plate. For $10.35 each, I should have gone elsewhere. Not even sliced in half! They should do better!!!

Food was AMAZING! Service was even better! Always friendly, helpful and outright fun. Gotta try the specials and don't skip out on their fresh juices and lemonades. I'll be back soon for a cocktail!

The food is excellent. We went twice during our stay at Cane Bay. My husband recommends the hibiscus iced tea and I love the black tea. Our first meal was so yummy and just as we had remembered . Our second meal was a train wreck. We had to wait for an extended period of time while the manager and the chef were having loud arguments in the kitchen. She came and yelled for minutes on end. I felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for the chef. The manager needs to learn how to manage. Just saying.. in the end after the dust settled our food was good but didn’t go down as easy under normal circumstances .

This place gives you the island vibe. Right on the water GREAT food, AWESOME employees, and the perfect atmosphere. Ate here multiple times over the week we stayed. Girlfriend could live off the iced coffee. Loved the breakfast burrito and bacon egg and cheese. Fish sandwich had some of the best slaw on it also the chicken sandwich is enough for two. Coming back next year and will eat here every day.

This place is absolutely amazing. Across from the beach, it's the perfect location for starting your day, or for taking a break in the middle of your day. The service was super friendly, and the food is wonderful. They have GF bread & bagels, as well as tofu for an egg substitute, if you're looking for one. The coffee is the best on the island! You can grab a coffee or some ice cream (or why not both??), then cross the street to enjoy it in front of the beautiful blue Caribbean waters. Polly's is perfect!

We got new owners @ Polly’s and they are REALLY ramping things up w fresh homemade local foods and juices. The salsa’s fresh, the pico’s fresh, the guac is fresh, the berry lemonades, hot sauce! (Don’t get me started on the hot sauce.) … the list goes on and on. ¡I mean, come on, look @ this tofu sandwich! It’s the little things … I think … NO, I know Polly’s is going to be a fabulous eatery icon of Frederiksted in no time …. just like ITAL In Paradise is to Christiansted. We know you’ll do great and F’sted will LOVE you. ¡Good luck Chris and Ariela … We’re proud of you and your new staff!

Chicken Philly was three stars french fries five stars Chocolate chip Waffle- 2 stars wait for the food zero stars: We waited over 90 minutes for four entrees and then the manager/owner told us another few minutes and 15 minutes later, our food came out. Unfortunately we missed the pop up merchants because we took well over 2 hours dining here. Craziness!!

If you're looking for a place to grab a bite in Fredricksted, St.Croix you must stop by Polly's. After arriving to this quaint little beach town we stumbled upon Polly's and decided to grab lunch. Their menu has a great assortment of beverages and food items including breakfast which I believe they serve all day. The place was busy but not busy enough where you couldn't easily grab a table. The team was soooooo friendly, like one of the best customer service experiences that I've had all year. By the end of my time here I just wanted to give everyone a hug because they were so kind. Ok back to why you should try Polly's, - open air restaurant with lots of space inside - they have an assortment of hot sauces ( my type of place lol, I love hot sauce) - the Caribbean wrap is phenomenal and the items inside are fresh ( my mom said it was the best wrap she's ever had) - their chai's and lattes were great - THE SMOOTHIE, 10/10 I could drink one of these everyday - the prices are fair and they take Apple Pay I can't wait to come back. My family who lives here says they come daily and everyone on the team knows they by name. I love it here, go visit!

Ordered coffee before snorkeling at the pier and coffee was reasonably priced and tasted great. The ambiance was open air and colorful and staff was friendly. Would recommend if you are in the area!

Quick service, friendly folks, and lots of options for drinks and food! Cute and eclectic on the inside, no ac but the fans work great!! Thanks!

Hanging out in St Croix with my sister and we asked a local where to grab a bite. They recommended Polly's and we were not disappointed. Great sandwich, great little garden in the back to enjoy our food. There were free range hens and chicks all around. The staff at Polly's would let them eat the crumbs off their mats as there "don't feed the chickens" signs everywhere. Great little spot, great view and great food.

Incredible sandwiches at this waterfront eatery! Friendly staff & quick service, great for lunch before the beach. It's not fancy, but it's clean & spacious with indoor & outdoor seating.

I love stopping by Polly's on my way to work for a coffee, everyone is so friendly! The ice cream and specialty drinks are amazing!

This was a great little place on the beach in Frederiksted. I had the salad with grilled mahi, my wife had the club wrap and my Mom had the jerk shrimp quesadilla. All dishes were really great. We had a few beverages, alcoholic and non, and they were great. I would return. Customer service was really great as well.

Food was delicious and staff was nice. The waffles were very soft and tasty. They keep the doors open so you can get a view of the outside. It's right across from the pier. Nice, chill place for breakfast or brunch. Would recommend.

Great place overall! Check out my other review attached to this one. Beat place on this side of the island but there might be a line.

We did not have the opportunity to dine here. However, the 2 Confusion is all that!! It's 7 Crucian Rums and fruit punch. It's ver fruity tasting. But not for the light drinker! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The inside is bright and colorful.

Hipster vibe Decent coffee Beautiful wall mural Location excellence across from the ocean Nice chairs and tables on the street Boho Mediterranean feel Tattoos and attitude required

We frequent Polly's each time we are on the island. We enjoy the milkshakes, frappes, and iced chai. This time we tried the lime in da coconut and would recommend it. It is worth the stop.

I really liked the Iced latte, cute tables in front to sip coffee and view the ocean but not enough tables out front.

Visited Polly's for breakfast this morning and found the food, waitstaff and atmosphere delightful. The five dollar latte was terrific and our eggs, bacon and toast just what we were seeking!

Pollys is a culinary lighthouse on the west side of the island. The place has an island local feeling, the service was quick, friendly and approachable. I had The Belt sandwich for breakfast, two fried eggs with red onions and tomatoes slices over weed bread. I also ordered a cappuccino, very creamy, strong served in the perfect cup. A simple breakfast sándwich. Fresh, easy and nothing to add or subtract. If you are looking for a good place to have a quick bite, this is your place. Beautiful views, quite area and excellent service.

Imagine if you will, a jerk chicken wrap on a caribbean island. What do you imagine? Spice? Flavor? A quality tortilla? Here you will get none of these things. Plus, the wait staff that can hardly be bothered to take your order... because ugh, working here sucks ohmigosh right? I just wanna go back to the states and hang with Brenda. Great location, but perhaps the worst nachos possible.

This has been one of my favorite places since they've opened years ago. The Iced Coffee with the coffee ice cubes and Polly Muffin are still my favorite treats. Now they've added Mexican Nights on Friday and Saturday night, yum!

Nice coffee spot on the water front, a bit pricy but a nice treat once a month. The area was clean and in a safe location.

Maybe a bad day, but Just waited one hour for 2 cold wraps and a side of fries. Wraps were no better than what you would find in the refrigerator section of a supermarket. Disappointing.

Great Little breakfast spot on the Main Street in town. Very friendly and quality food!

Great food. Super nice people. Great service and very quick. Coffee is amazing. Breakfast menu is simple but everything we tried was great

Today's breakfast is one of the best on the island. It's highly recommended if you're staying in Frederiksted or if your cruise ship has come to port.

Oh good ol' Pollys. I went to Pollys last month when I took a vacation to St. Croix and it was an awesome experience. I went here for lunch with my dive master and it was awesome. I had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever. I was able to pick the three cheeses and a topping or two. The location is great too. It was nice ocean views. I would definitely go back.

Food came out quick and was delicious!! The service was excellent and the server was gracious and informative. And the restaurant is on the beach!!! It was perfect and very easy to find!

Awesome staff and solid food....that's what it is supposed to be about. Great location in the heart of Frederiksted.

What a treat on our last morning in St Croix! I don't know why we waited to visit Fredericksted until the last day but Polly's location is FANTASTIC! We ordered some frosty treats and they all hit the spot! We're moving to St Croix pretty soon and we will definitely become regulars when we come to dive the pier!

We had the poinsettia Mamosa and a 16 ounce light roast coffee and it was perfect. We ordered the Pollys Ranchero to share and it was more than enough absolutely satiated our breakfast hunger. We picked the table close to the door overlooking the pier in the ocean, it is amazing. The food and customer service inside the restaurant is amazing and it's definitely giving you an island vibe.

Had a great little to go breakfast sandwich from this open air spot just near the pier. They have a variety of breakfast foods, coffee beveys, and cocktails. If we had more morning on the island we would have definitely gone back for a full, sit in breakfast. The proximity to the pier makes it perfect for a pre snorkel meal. I can't imagine what this place is like on "cruise ship days" but it's probably madness.

I'm pretty sure everyone loves Polly's! It is in a great spot in the heart of Frederiksted, welcoming all! Walking in it's the cutest little restaurant with views of the ocean and an adorable courtyard. You can grab breakfast, lunch, drinks, or even your favorite ice cream. The food is amazing and the staff are extra special - so friendly and helpful! A must stop when in the cute town of Frederiksted!

It was a very relaxing place to sit and have breakfast as we sat outside to hear the ocean. We came another day just for the coffee. The coffee was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

Polly's has it all. Good food, good coffee, beer and liquor. I've never had a bad meal here. It all tastes fresh and delicious. Today I had the Jerk Chicken rice bowl.

IT IS OPEN! All the staff wear masks and there is less than 50% of the previously seating capacity, but the feel is pretty close to pre-COVID. Everyone is cheerful and provides quick service. The food has always been fantastic. I like Polly's more and more each time I come here. It's definitely a marvelous spot for breakfast and brunch! It's a nice little cafe across from the waterfront in Frederiksted with friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. I love their scrambled eggs, usually with cheese, spinach, onions, jalapeños, and salsa. You can get bacon as part of the scramble or separately as a side. Their coffee is also excellent. Refills are only $1. A small variety of breakfast cocktails are also available. It's consistently the best place in STX for breakfast or brunch.

It is a small establishment and not too prominent looking but once inside you are greeted with warmth and friendly staff. It is clean and well kept. Service was quick and friendly. The came by to make sure we were enjoying the food and drinks and asked if they could do anything else. The food was amazing! The husband and I split the Hen House Waffle breakfast. He had a coke and I had a Iced white chocolate Mocha.

Had a great breakfast here. Waffles were fluffy, Sides were great, make your own scramble was perfect. Very nice coffee both hot and iced. Staff were extremely friendly. Liked their ordering system and their courtyard was a great location for a breakfast, complete with wandering chicks!

We are two breakfasts and one lunch here while in St. Croix...yes, it's that good. The owner and other workers here are great, friendly, and a lot of fun. They also make some great food! Some of the items we tried here- Chocolate chip waffles and Blueberry waffles- kids absolutely loved them Polly Scramble with cheddar green onions and spinach-perfect amount of food and tasted great. The belt. It's a BLT with fried eggs - Wifey said she may never have a regular BLT again. Bloody Mary is excellent with a nice spiciness Iced coffee here is made with coffee ice cubes as well! Fabulous local artwork for sale. Love the Bohemian breakfast- double espresso, dry toast and a hug. For our lunch trip Wifey and I had the southwest quesadillas with chicken, black bean salsa, cheddar and jalapeños. This was the best quesadilla I've ever had. That is NOT an exaggeration. Kids had cheese quesadillas with chicken...they're pretty boring. Compared to most places on the island, Polly's is pretty affordable and as I said the food and ambiance is great. If I EVER get back to St. Croix I'll be eating at Polly's again.

Fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, good variety for a small breakfast/lunch joint. Smoothie, milkshake, southwest tofu quesadilla, Asian rice bowl, jerk chicken wrap, and gourmet grilled cheese. All so good!

The best spot in Frederkisted for breakfast! The coffee and smoothie options are all amazing, as well as the veggie options for breakfast. I will be here every morning while on island!

Cute little restaurant with a chill vibe. Didn't wait long for my food. I had the HenHouse Waffle Breakfast. Food was good. Waffle was light and fluffy. They actually melted the cheese on my egg! This is a plus because a lot of restaurants don't. Would definitely recommend to others.

Pollys at the Pier is absolutely amazing! We went here for breakfast and lunch multiple times during our stay. Tried a little bit of everything on the menu. It was all delish! Loved the coffee drinks. They have an incredible selection of exotic local juices as well, like tamarind, soursop, and passion fruit. The atmosphere can't be beat. The staff are so friendly!!! Polly's offers indoor and outdoor seating. We sat both in front looking at the ocean, as well as in the quaint courtyard out back. It was great to go get a cup of ice cream there after snorkeling at the pier as well!!

Visited Polly's twice during my visit and both times were consistently great! Food was tasty and the iced coffee hit the spot! Staff was so friendly and the service was very quick, no island time at Polly's. The atmosphere was perfect and I could have stayed much longer. Masks are still worn and restaurant was clean. We had the pleasure of toddler roosters in the outside seating area - very cute! Polly's is a must!

Had the club wrap and Asian slaw. Both excellent. Reasonably priced for food on St. Croix.

We visited this place multiple times while staying in the Frederiksted area and enjoyed each time! We tried a few of their coffee drinks, waffle breakfast, Huevos Rancheros, and breakfast burritos and all were excellent. Their staff is very friendly and gives good service. They have a nice seating areas inside and out. We enjoyed our meals out on their back porch. They have bathrooms in the back just make sure to get the code from one of the staff:) I like that they also have work from local artists for sale which is a nice add to the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge after about 10am but keep driving around and hopefully something will open up! We enjoyed the more laid back feel of the Frederiksted area versus the other side of the island. Definitely check them out if you are in the area:)

This is a great spot to stop when taking a break from diving. Friendly staff, great food. Really enjoyed myself!

The food is simple and served pretty quickly. The coffee drinks are the true star of the show. There are not too many choices for coffee drinks on island, so this is a welcome oasis.

Clean establishment. Staff super friendly and helpful. Food was amazing. Offers indoor and outdoor patio seating. Beautiful views. Right across the street from the pier. Highly recommend

Terrible spot with even worse service, don't waste your time here try to find another local spot that's not rude to you.

I love this place. Went twice and could have gone every day just for their cheese sandwich. Good coffee as well eccentric staffers, pretty much, and hard to tell if it's an act or just the kind of peeps this place likes to hire, but I thoroughly enjoyed this eccentricity when I was there because it was authentic, seemed sincere, and they were all over the top so freaking nice! I went in March for my spring break (teacher). I'll be back. Maybe as a local at some point. Do yourself a favor and wait in the line, don't complain about it, enjoy the ride and the vibe, eat there, and be a little part of their very unique magic they've got going on. I know I'll need to at least try something else at some point, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it because that darn cheese sandwich is so darn delish!

Amazing breakfast and the big plus is they have gluten free bread and bagels! Open 8-3 for breakfast plus coffees and both non and alcoholic beverages!
