“ 5 Stars – Authentic Flavors and Amazing Service! My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Alba’s Restaurant in St. Croix. I ordered the stew conch and she had the stew beef—both were packed with rich, homemade flavor that reminded us of true island cooking. The seasoned rice, rice and beans, tostones, and homemade potato salad were the perfect sides—fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. On top of the great food, Ray took excellent care of us. His service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re in St. Croix and looking for authentic local cuisine and warm hospitality, Alba’s is a must-visit! ”
“ Great meal at Alba's today- I had stew conch, plantains, and veggies and I've truly never ordered a conch dish with such a generous amount included! Very flavorful stew, the employees are friendly- only problem is that Google Maps has the location wrong.... Alba's is across the street from the single story blue building with white shutters that says "U.S. House of Representatives" on it. Best meal of the trip by far :) ”
“ We wanted lobster and a local directed us to this mom and pop restaurant! We were NOT disappointed! They dont serve it in a tail, but in a bowl of garlic butter broth with onions, green, red and yellow bell peppers. You also get a plate of yellow rice and beans, and an additional side. I had the same dish but with shrimp. I wasn't hungry enough for the rice and beans but instead poured the broth onto my rice, and ended up finishing the rice. Absolute heaven! We recommend parking right in front of the restaurant as we felt the neighborhood was a little sketchy at night, close to the Fredriksted pier. Super friendly owners we thanked them repeatedly for the delicious food, their nephew was our waiter/bartender, they even gave us the recipe for the broth! We ate the food too quickly for pictures! Lots of flavor, clean floors and tables. Not crowded. ”
“ Carmen, the activity guide and owner of " Hanging With the Locals," suggested Alba's as a place to go to experience some of the traditional St Croix meals, and I must say Albas did not disappoint. Alba's offers indoor and outdoor door seating along with a well stocked bar for those inclined to have a drink with their meal. The food choices are displayed in the back in an open kitchen type concept set up. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and patiently answers questions and provides descriptions of each dish. I opted for ox tails w/gravy, coleslaw, spinach, rice and a traditional dish of veggies and cornmeal casserole, and of course a Johnny cake. Portions were good, and the food was very tasty. It can get busy, but the flow was pretty fast. There are plenty of staff on hand. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ Ordered here while on vacation, food was very good , lots of options to choose from . I love that they had a “buffet style selection - where you could see what is on the menu for today “ . ”
“ Alba’s is a very modest, homey place with some tasty local dishes and a really kind and thoughtful staff. This was our second visit and we enjoyed it very much. Nothing fancy. ”
“ Great local spot for excellent food! Had the Stew chicken with red beans, white rice and cassava as sides. Mother had King fish with seasoned rice, steamed veggies and red beans. ”
“ Alba’s is truly a local gem. Exactly what my husband & I were looking for. Flavorful, FRESH. We caught them as they got a fresh lobster delivery. The lobster was PERFECTION. Truly food made with love. ”
