Really enjoyed this restaurant on St. Thomas. I had the Curried Chicken plate and was not disappointed. The flavors were bold and tasty, and the restaurant's ambience (complete with the soulfully singing owner) made it one of the more memorable meals during our vacation.

Ordered the chicken stew which took a bit of time but well worth the wait! Glady is very lovely and hospitable. Ordered eight bottles of her amazing hot sauce. Hope to return tomorrow before I leave!

I have been going to STT for years and the lunch at Glady's is mandatory. First of all order yourself a soursop colada. You probably have never even seen this fruit, but the drink is delicious. Then order the chicken curry or the jerk pork chop. The staff is great, you feel welcome here. After lunch order another soursop colada,... More

All of the 'older' staff was singing along to the Frank Sinatra songs being piped in. Our server was adorable and friendly. Food was very good. We would like to return some time for dinner, give them a chance to really spread their wings.

The food is great, and the decorum is lovely. But overall, it is a tad pricier on some items, especially breakfast, than other places. If you are able to venture out a little from the waterfront, try other places. Otherwise, you'll be paying $30 for bacon, eggs, and a glass of juice.

The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable for the area. However, the staff was highly discourteous (and that is putting it lightly). There are many other restaurants in the area with much more friendly and professional employees than Gladys'
