My husband and I ate here on our honeymoon in May 2013 - we also ate at about 8 other restaurants in the area - Sun Dog was BY FAR the best meal we had on our honeymoon. Do NOT let the modest looks of the place steer you away. I had the Shrimp Angela and thought about it for... More

Food was the best we have had on the island so far. I highly recommend the burrito. Cute cafe tables in the middle of mongoose junction. We went for dinner. Only one server was working but she was very attentive and friendly. We will be back for sure!

Hidden behind all stores and other restaurants we found this great little spot! Food, drinks, desserts and service was great! Tried the steak chimichurri sandwich and left super satisfied after a long day at the beach!

My husband and I ate at Sun Dog Café in Mongoose Junction last week for dinner and the food was pretty good. There are only a few tables in the middle of the shopping center and a small kitchen - not really a "restaurant" as they are so spread out - literally in the shopping center. We had the tilapia...

We've been to Sun Dog Cafe many times before and have been realitivly pleased with the service and the food. However, we have noticed that the food and the service have consistantly gotten worse the last couple of time we've been there (but the high prices have stayed same). We went the other night and sat at the bar, and... More

Thank goodness that we have over 200 reviews here and that they are on balance positive about our food and service. It's obvious that one of our bartenders let you down, and we apologize for that. They do have to leave the bar on occasion, sometimes to get stock or ice, or for necessary personal reasons, and this might be... More

Good place for lunch when you are out shopping at Mongoose Junction. Husband got the fish tacos; they came with tons of fixings. I got the pulled pork sandwich which was good, but honestly, I was more impressed with the coleslaw. Again, great place for lunch, nothing fancy.

Food was very good at extremely reasonable St. Johns prices. Service was attentive without being overbearing. All in our group left well fed and very satisfied with our experience.

Charming little café in Mongoose Junction. We went on a Wednesday night, which is live music night, so we had to wait quite a while for a table and service was slow throughout our meal. Unless you’re coming for the music, I would suggest coming on a different night of the week. I enjoyed the Jamaican jerk tacos, and thought... More
