Lazy Lizard Restaurant & Craft Bar

Philipsburg, Great Bay Boardwalk

A friendly Caribbean stop near the cruise port

Lazy Lizard Restaurant & Craft Bar is a family-run spot on the Philipsburg Boardwalk, behind Diamond Casino and within easy walking distance of the cruise terminal. It is useful for a relaxed lunch, a proper craft cocktail or a quieter break between Great Bay Beach and Front Street shopping.

The setting feels like a Caribbean bar and grill: open-air tables, friendly service, local touches and a less rushed mood than some of the busier waterfront stops. It is a good choice for travelers who want to stay in Philipsburg but still eat something more personal than a basic beach plate.

The menu is known for scratch-made flavors: banana-vanilla BBQ ribs, fish tacos, jerk chicken Philly, voodoo shrimp, fish and chips, plantains, rice and beans, burgers and house cocktails. Recent reviews also highlight allergy awareness, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options depending on availability.

Practical tip: the restaurant is easy to reach from the water taxi and sits near Kanaal Steeg / Front Street. Public hours can shift with cruise days and seasonality, so check Facebook or Google before planning dinner, Sunday or Saturday visits.
