Hat's off to the staff at Pineapple Pete's! Our family went to eat there twice while we were on vacation to Saint Martin. Our food was excellent along with the desserts. Had a blast with their staff. There was one of the waiters asking us how many forks or spoons we needed for our dessert. I included him in the... More

Just reminds us of a overrated hamburg and fish fry tourist type restaurant. If you're on an island should try something else which leaves you feeling like you're away from USA chain type eating establishments. SXM has many other better places to eat.

The food was great and the service was even better. It is like they almost could read your mind. This is a definite stop while visiting the island

Just visited St. Marteen on a solo trip and enjoyed my visit to this restaurant. This place has a lot of character, lots of people, great ambience and music to the ears. The staff is great and the on floor manager is top notch. Started with the escargot and with all the resaurants on the island it is my favorite.... More

Great food again. I had the wahoo and the wife had the filet mignon. Excellent fish! They were crowded for a Monday night but the service was still good. The crime brûlée was as good as advertised and even a bigger portion than expected. It was a little hot in the dining area but I know where I am.

Heard of the restaurant from several people who all gave it high marks. We were met by the owner who is most personable and he was very attentive to our requests and checked for our satisfaction. He took the time to chat and still make certain his staff were on top of the job..... a local guy told us good... More

Pineapple Pete's is a great informal restaurant. Their treatment of Grouper is fantastic. The owner was our waiter on our May 5 visit and he was really solicitious of our needs. You can sit near the entertainer (a mellow soft rocker) or far away. We were nearby and we enjoyed him.

We live in St Martin and one of our favorite restaurants is Pineapple Petes. Eating out should be about more than just filling your belly. Petes has a great atmosphere. Possibly the only restaurant in SXM with LIVE music every night of the year. Is it the best food on the island? Not really. But it's lots of fun, with... More

The menu has something for everyone and the food is AMAZING! We had one of our best meals on the island here. They also have live music every night which is very nice. Don't be put off by how humble it looks from the outside. The meals are as good as any at the island's "fine dining" establishments and the... More
