"Hidden behind an unassuming corrugated steel facade, Tin Box is an island favorite serving up the odd combination of delicious barbeque and fresh sushi. It's a formula that somehow works perfectly to keep a packed house at this roadside staple. Calypso nights — on Mondays during high season — are among Vieques' best live music events." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"If you want to go out, there’s a little seafront area where you hop around to bars. I always go to Tin Box for dinner and drinks; it’s a very short drive from the hotel. They have two restaurants in the same place; one is a sushi bar and the other is comfort food, like fish or chicken, but my favorite thing is the cornbread, it’s amazing."
This restaurant was recommended and it did not disappoint. The service and food were great. Open air seating, but it was very breezy and comfortable. We enjoy the experience.

*Call ahead to make reservations* We were lucky to get a seat! Unbelievable food, experience, and atmosphere! This may be the best restaurant I've ever been to. Sushi, BBQ – everything was fantastic. All 7 of us (parents and kids) enjoyed every bite; our kids all agreed this is our favorite restaurant on and off the island. Samantha, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!

Such a fun place. The service was quick and knowledgeable about the menu. We had sushi lasagna and BBQ trio. Both were fantastic. Fresh, local juices in the drinks

Very unusual place both with menu selection as combination of BBQ and sushi. The baked beans side was amazingly different with heavy cilantro and other Caribbean flavors, and ribs and chicken great too.
The multi level seating gives terrific views of the jungle backyard with several varieties of birds. However the choice of background music (80s disco and similar) really negated the ambiance, especially at a loud enough level to make talking difficult. It might be more supportive of the ambiance created by location to instead have microphones amplifying the natural sounds of the jungle for diners to enjoy. That might complement the food, or at least have music like new age instrumental that might lean toward sounds of running water and chines to better complement the sushi theme. The experience while tasty was discordant, creating uneasiness versus pleasure. There’s a lot of potential here to be better by focusing more consistently on what the intented essence is and do that very well.
Also while BBQ had so many positives (although not he pulled pork wasn’t anything special), the calamari was way over cooked and tasteless.

This is the first time I've been to a restaurant that had sushi and something else and it's was good. The sushi on its own is great. The smoked ribs were perfection. Jalapeño watermelon margaritas were super tasty.

Excellent experience for us while in Vieques. The place is very nice, with nice atmosphere and music. Our server prompt, kind and laid out good options in the menu. Our food was great too! We enjoyed the Tuna/Seaweed salad, our Sushi rolls and our Smoke Sampler. Highly recommend.
To be fair on good and bad: the Mac and Cheese was lacking (specially compared to the roasted batata and sweet potato fries).

So good we had to go two nights in a row! The regular sushi had too much rice but I HIGHLY recommend the dragon egg sashimi ball. Yum.

Great restaurant on the island. The food was excellent serving BBQ and sushi. Interesting dining options but was truly enjoyable and delicious. We only dined at two locations while visiting Vieques, but I believe it was an outstanding restaurant/bar. Would definitely encourage visitors to the island to select this venue.
