Came here on frommers recommendation which rarely steers me wrong. Despite being smack dab in the middle of the Caribbean's most beautiful beach, the food here is lousy. I had the ribs and chicken combination and the meat was dry and bland. I also waited over an hour but its no big deal with the view of that spectacular beach.... More

Drinks were inexpensive but the food was down right gross. We should have known we were in trouble when we asked for medium well and the waitress told us they are not blood burgers. The burgers were some type of foreign meat and I don't mean that in a positive way. I went starving and could only manage to eat... More

OK -- so they have delicious frozen drinks that 2 of my little ones spilled. I think that ticked them off, so instead of serving us fast to get us out of there, they made us wait well over an hour for our food then forgot my order. The food was certainly not worth waiting for . . .even with... More

Uncles Ernies offers relief for travelers bled dry by other local establishments. The food is good, especially the fresh fish! Great drink selection and prices that can't be beat on Anguilla! The location is without compare. Don't show up too early though, lunch begins at 12:00pm. When on the island, definitely stop by Uncle Ernies! More

Lunch at uncle ernies was good, but not great. The great part is that its so "beach bum" friendly that we ate in our wet bathing suits after swiming in the ocean. Very relaxed and cheap. I guess its legendary, but if there was a pick I would go to Mac and Hanks just a little ways down. More

Uncle Ernie's isn't what it once was, but it still remains a serviceable beach bar choice on Shoal Bay. The food is simple and decent (not as good as the others in the area, but then not nearly as expensive either) and the drinks are relatively cheap. Service can be indifferent or sometimes almost surly. Everything does seem to have... More

As other reviews stated, the food is simple fare, but it was pretty tasty. I have a soft spot for barbecue hot dogs though. The beach out front is great, not too windy, nice sand, water, everything you want in a nice Caribbean beach. The REAL reason to come here, however, is the amazing rum punch. After we had a... More

After reading reviews & write ups in tourist books, we expected to find Uncle Ernie's as a little gem on the Shoal Bay East beach in Anguilla. What we found was poor food (how can you make a bad hamburger?), soggy fries & a waitress who seemed annoyed that we needed to ask questions. Go down the beach to Elodia's... More

This place seems to get mixed reviews. We went a couple of times for lunch cause it is so convenient right off the beach. They only serve lunch and that is the kind of food they have - hotdogs, hamburgers, fish sndw. The food was good, filled you up and is made to order. The staff is friendly who recognized... More

We ate lunch at Uncle Ernie's and were quite impressed. The fish sandwich was very good. You can get a lot of food here for very little money. I'd have to say this is probably the cheapest place we ate at while on our stay but one of the better ones too. More
