Skinny Legs restaurant is an outdoor shack just past the fork in the road that takes you to Coral Bay Road from Centerline Road. There are also several boutiques around it, so don’t be fooled by all the T-shirts hanging out front - just keep walking toward the back. We went there for lunch after our horseback ride mostly because it was there and we were thirsty!
Skinny Legs is owned by two guys with, what else, skinny legs. They were quite busy for a Monday; lots of locals were there eating lunch, along with a few other tourists besides us. My husband and I both ordered the house specialty, grilled mahimahi sandwiches. They came with fries and were delicious. My only complaint was that the bartender was a little slow getting my ice-tea glass refilled. I should have just asked for a pitcher. As we ate, I noticed on the menu board that two other house specialties were New England clam chowder and Skinny’s chili. The cook was dishing up bowls of the stuff while we were there, but for the life of me I can’t imagine why anyone would want to eat such hot food on such a hot day. I guess it must have been good!
Judging by the large white screen and two rows of chairs off the back porch, I’m guessing Skinny’s had a movie night. They also have a website, but I think it may be a little out of date. It’s www.skinnylegs.com.
Would I recommend Skinny legs? Sure, but it is away from the action so to speak. It’s a good half-hour from Cruz Bay and the Westin Resort. Skinny’s is a popular hangout for boaters stopped in Coral Bay. If you have a car and are touring the island, it’s worth a stop.
