St. John is a small island as you all know. So when something new opens, word travels fast. And when something new opens that is absolutely delicious and affordable, word travels even faster!
Paulie’s Luncheonette is a brand new Cruz Bay food truck. It’s located in the Lumberyard parking lot which is right near Cool Breeze Car Rental, Hercules Pate and Dolphin Market. It’s only been open for a few weeks, but everyone has been raving about it, so I decided I needed to try it for myself.
I stopped by late yesterday afternoon to grab a quick bite. I arrived about 30 minutes after the last sub roll was sold, so I opted for sourdough bread. There were a lot of options, including an Italian and roast beef, which Paul makes himself. I chose a ham, salami and provolone sandwich, and it did not disappoint!
The sandwich took all of two minutes to prepare. No island time here, folks! I had the option of dining in – there are a handful of tables with a nice little water view – or taking it to go. I had morning of island tours and a house showing, so I opted to take it home.
The sandwich was only $14, and it was worth every penny. Drinks and sides are available to purchase, but I opted simply for the sandwich. Here is the menu:
As you can see in the pics above, there is parking beside the luncheonette. So it is easy to pop in a grab a sandwich here. That makes it that much better.
