We were SO happy to stumble upon this gem in St Kitts!! Mrs Moore herself is an absolute treasure, we really enjoyed chatting with her! The food is incredible! Best Johnny cakes I've ever had or could even imagine. Made with love. Fluffy, tasty YUM! Short walk from the cruise terminal but outside the touristy area.

Wonderful food from a wonderful lady! Mrs Moore makes the best Johnny cakes on the island, then she makes them even better by stuffing them with delicious things like bbq chicken or salt fish! She also makes her own, delicious juices from local fruits. Do yourself a favour and have lunch here!

Loved it. We had a bucket of beer, sum local rum, and curry chicken. Two minutes from the cruise ship. And the music is awesome!

If I could give Mrs. Moore more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment we arrived, she was so sweet and welcoming—it felt like visiting family. The food? Absolutely incredible. The chicken was so tender it fell right off the bone, bursting with flavor in every bite. The Johnny Cakes were perfectly golden and addictive, and don’t even get me started on the Rum Punch—it was to die for! Every part of the experience was unforgettable. Thank you, Mrs. Moore, for the warm hospitality and mouthwatering food. Already dreaming of my next visit!

We were brought here by a sweet older woman who sold us some necklaces and sundresses. We had seen this food stand walking by before, but was not sure. We decided to order the Johnny Cake with chicken; which is a mild seasoned jerk roasted chicken stuffed inside the slightly weet pastry dough with lettuce and your choice of sausce. It was delisous!! And for $3.00, yes please. It was very filling and both of us did not finish it. Out meal with the Johnny Cakes and two water came to $7.00 with the tips. If i ever come back to St. Kitts this will be a MUST STOP again. Mrs. Moore was very welcoming and friendly to us! Can't wait to visit Mrs. Moore again

We had a good time here with Mrs. Moore. We tried some different local beers and a very tasty Johnny Cake. Felt like home with very friendly service.
