About
Johnny B's Under the Tree was a beloved local barbecue restaurant in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten, operated by Johnny for many years under a big tree with picnic tables. It specialized in authentic Caribbean barbecue including flavorful ribs, oxtail, grilled chicken, pork, beef, fresh seafood like lobster and fish from the nearby market, served with sides such as rice & peas and johnnycakes. Known for world-class cooking, good old island hospitality, generous portions, and as a hidden gem for fresh, delicious local food. The original spot is no longer operating as Johnny B's Under the Tree; it has relocated or rebranded, with Johnny now at a sit-down location like Jackfish in the Simpson Bay Market.
