Great place to enjoy for the day. Beach chairs free if you order lunch and you really should order food. Best ribs we tried on the island. Tender, juicy just perfect. Super friendly crew, 3 times and every time someone really helpful and friendly. Really recommend this place if you are in the area. Beach is nice as well, water calm and beautiful

Food was amazing. Ambiance was great. Service was a bit slow compared to most other places. The food was worth the wait. Rice and peas were not the best, but everything else was!

Best restaurant/bar in Sampson Bay. It’s on the beach and they allow you in their chase lounges with umbrellas if you’re eating there. Awesome servers most foreigners. Very impressed with Jesse from Barcelona and Viviana from Columbia. Food never disappointed me, neither did drinks. There’s an ice cream shop in the premises. Reasonable prices and onsite limited parking. Very long hours, and always very fun.

Buccaneers offers a lively and enjoyable dining experience, especially if you sit outside to soak in the vibrant atmosphere. We dined here and were treated to the sounds of live music that added an energetic touch to the already great ambiance. For our meal, we ordered the Jalapeño cheese pizza and the BBQ chicken served with rice and peas and a fresh salad. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying—the pizza had just the right amount of spice, and the BBQ chicken was tender and well-seasoned, pairing perfectly with the sides. For dessert, we headed over to the school bus on-site, Buccaneer’s Ice Cream Bar to order crepes with cookies and cream ice cream. While it was a fun concept, the dessert didn’t quite live up to the standard of the main meal, as the crepes lacked the richness and balance we were expecting. Still, Buccaneers is a fantastic spot for its lively atmosphere, great food, and unique touches. The combination of live music and delicious meals makes it a great choice for a casual yet memorable dining experience. We’d gladly return, though perhaps we’d stick to the savory options next time!

Great food! We had the BBQ Combo, which was the best meal I’ve had (definitely recommend adding the Creole sauce – it was amazing together). The club sandwich was also really good, and there was plenty of food. If you visit for lunch, you get access to the beach chairs for free. The service was excellent, and the drinks were great. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day with delicious food, great music, and a beautiful ocean view. Not too crowded, making it an ideal place to unwind.

Would give 10 stars if possible. We came hungry and traumatized from a nearby restaurant. Our lovely waitress Amandine welcomed us with a smile and very quick, helpful service. We got our frozen drinks fast, and the food as well. And the burger — like, I can't even... It was AMAZING. Generous portion, good fries, and the beef was very juicy. Everything was great. Then we got ourselves a nice carib (for a good price) , and went down to relax on the beach chairs that were included with lunch. Now we're here chillin' Rihanna-style under our umbrella, with the comforting knowledge that we have bucca bucca, as we call it, right behind us. FG LOL (forever grateful, lots of love).
