Just GREAT! Coming from a man that knows his Jamaican food in general. This was some GREAT tasteful caribbean food. Food, service and atmosphere was nice with music playing right next door. The plate presentation was A+. I even seen the table next to me have fried fish and thought WOW if I wasn’t so full I would have ordered again. Curry goat & curry chicken gave great size of meat. Thank you again. Will be back Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Curry Chicken and Rice and Peas

Johnny B does it all: chef, server, bartender. Very good curry chicken- generous plateful of stew with ~four sides: rice, salad, plantain, homemade potato salad. Small outdoor dining area. Reasonably priced. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Curry Chicken and Rice and Peas
THE place for Caribbean BBQ! This is a homely spot where the good is made with love. We got the conch soup which spectacular and the lobster was amazing. The flavours were soo good and the portions were more then enough for the two of us. Definitely an island favorite. Johnny himself does everything which we loved, we really took care of us.
We absolutely love the food. Johnny is a trained culinary chef and is a delightful person to talk to. We are especially fans of the local caught Caribbean Lobster and for land lovers the goat is delicious.

Johnny made spectacular food. His grilled snapper was super moist and fresh. The oxtail is also fantastic as well. My friend has a seafood allergy and we made him aware of it and they took special care to ensure everything was properly handled. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
A must visit for some real homestyle carribean food. The ox tail was my favorite and enough to bring me back for a second visit before I left the island. Portions are large and filling. Be cautious with the pickled onions and peppers as they are extremely hot.
Johnny is a true island legend.. many reviews on the oxtail, it's really great due to the herbs he uses.. the real treat is the fresh fish.. they say that only coconuts and Fish come from this island. Well the Simpson Bay fish market is 14steps away from Johnny.. he took me over there and asked me what I wanted, he would just cook it.. NO flights to bring ANY FISH here... FINALLY the real treat for breakfast is the fried Johnny Cake cut like a sandwich with Salt fish.. this was superb for $4 each. He does not charge the 15% service fee but leaves it up to you to tip what you wish.. finally he believes in having some punch with your RUM.. the most gracious pour on the island is the Olde Man.. he is 67yrs old. And has till 70.. enjoy the local cooking, listen to a story and leave with a to-go box.. LONG LIVE THE KING! Cash ONLY please.. he says Machine Coming.. not sure when.. maybe after he retires.. lol Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Grilled Red Snapper

This is the best oxtail on the face of the earth. I’m literally debating going back to St Marteen just to eat here again. We went twice while we were there!
Johnny B’s was terrific! It’s a one man show run by Johnny B himself. The grilled snapper was delicious!
Really great chicken with lots of delicious sides. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes BBQ Chicken and Rice and Peas
