Pineapple Pete’s was awesome. I had the ultimate ribeye and garlic shrimp which was amazing ribeye cooked just right and was nice and juicy. My wife has the char grilled salmon and rice which I had to try and it was seasoned and char grilled to perfection. Both dishes were super good. Only thing I would say that could have been different is our bottled water was served room temp. But I’m not sure if that’s just common for people of this demographic being we are from the states/US. Pete the owner came and greeted us at first but never mentioned he was the owner. He was very hospital friendly and welcoming and greeted us with a smile. He then returned to ask how our food was which was great.. then suggest we try the pineapple mango cheesecake for dessert.. but we politely declined since we were stuffed. Pete returns moments later with a big grin and says it’s on the house. Pete is awesome. Live music good atmosphere , pool tables and a huge game room for the kids and adults. This place is a must if ur looking for good vibes, good food, great hospitality.

Loved, loved, Loved it. We wished we would have found this restaurant sooner. If you want to eat it they have it here. The drinks are so good and the food tastes wonderful. Came across Pineapple Petes on a Thursday ,and we had the steak special. It was delicious. I had the best bahama ma ever the mojitos are awesome too. I could have eaten here all week

I went here for dinner and grabbed the crab stuffed shrimp with rice, fries & a mojito. Everything tasted amazing and the people were very kind. The restaurant was super cute!

Met Pete our first time there and again on subsequent night. Our group had fried snapper, jerk wings, curried chicken, lasagna and all were delicious, tasty and well plated. Atmosphere was vibrant and something for all. There is a billiard room, games, bar and variety of foods.Pineapple Pete’s is a staple in St Maarten and must eat.

Went for lunch and got the lobster thermidor which is what they are known for. This will not disappoint!! Best lobster on the island. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing! The crab Rangoon was also great!!

Terrific place to eat in St Maarten! We had been here over 10 years ago, but recently visited again during a stop on a cruise. The food was fantastic and just as good as we had remembered. Service was also superb. Recommend visiting here when you are in St Maarten!
