Hey Pirate Island St. George Fans! We thank you all for your AMAZING support! We are so sad to have to close our doors! We sure love all you fans! THANK YOU!!!!!!



We went to Pirate Island Pizza a few times. Pirate Island is located in the Sunset Corner on Sunset and Bluff. Its kinda weird to get too. But if you know where the Stadium 8 is and the Egg and I. The Pirate Island is at the far round about with the tallest clock tower. If you look for that, you will find it there.

At first I thought this was going to be something like a Chucky Cheese. If you haven't been to one. It is a place where they have huge arcades, animated shows and all kinds of things. But Pirates Island isn't like that. Personally I like that though. There is something for everyone and the service is good.

My husband ordered the 14 inch pizza and shared it with my brother in law. It was plenty for both of them. I ordered the build your own pasta with mushrooms and artichoke hearts and Alfredo sauce. It was very good and there was plenty of food. They did offer bread sticks with the order. But I wasn't fond of them, so I passed them on to my husband and he didn't like it either. For the three of us, we spent about $30.00. The food has a Caribbean feel to it. It was nice to have something different. They offer Coke products, Dr Pepper and Ice Tea. Each table comes with home made potato chips. They are pretty good. I do wonder about all the calories in them though, lol


The decor is really cool. You get the feel that you are in a ship. It has water falls and skeletons, pirates and all kinds of interesting twists and turns. You are greeted with pirates and parrots as you enter the restaurant. Pretty Kewl as my grandsons would say :)

I took my grandsons here for my youngest grandsons birthday. They loved it and had a great time in the arcade and play area. I was expecting the arcade to be much bigger. But I guess that's OK. I must warn you though. It is a bit dark in there. and where we had the party at, it was hard to read the menu. So if you have a hard time seeing, you might want to eat downstairs or wait for a place. A plus is that if you are having a party, you can bring your own cake and balloons. They don't offer them there. But you can order yours at Lin's Marketplace at 1930 W Sunset and there is a Grandma Toblers in the same shopping area. But I only paid 20.99 for the cake with cool pirate themes. My grandson loved it. I'm not sure what Grandma Toblers charges though. Saturdays are also pretty busy. But overall it was good and we would go back there.

For all of you who like to save, you can find coupons from anything from free tokens,buy one get one free, 50% off lunch in the The Phone Book- St. George Area. I am sure all have gotten your new one. They have left them at the door steps already. But the coupons are in the back of the book.

Sandie's Rating System:

Product Quality- Very Good
Price- Very Reasonable
Location- Sunset Corner on Sunset and Bluff
Service- Very Good Service
Speed - Good
Cleanliness- Excellent
Atmosphere- Excellent and Different

Final Thought- This is a fun place to check out. You can go with your kids or without. They have something for everyone.

P.S. The gift shop is kinda lame. And the exit makes you go right through the gift show which is bad if you want to get out of there without junk souvenirs for your kids/grand kids

JB's Restaurant- St. George, Utah

JB's St. George Location is Now Closed... 

Hurricane Utah is still Open

Normally JB's has very good service. But the location that is on Main Street and Bluff in St. George, Utah is the exception. This review is not for the one out in Hurricane. They are alot better.
My niece and I went there the other day. We have the Dixie Direct Card and there is a buy one get one free offer in there, so off we go.

Our Experience:

We arrived there around 5:30 pm. We were greeted by this women who was sitting people. She seated us against the window. Which is fine. But she didn't want to wait on us. Instead she waited till a larger group to come in and had this young man wait on us instead. I ordered the Turkey Dinner which is reasonably priced. My niece ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Basket. When we got the order, some of my order was missing. Which wasn't a big deal. But it should have been there. The mash potatoes are instant and yucky and the corn tasted like something that was just taken out of the freezer and popped in the microwave. There was no flavor at all.

My nieces order was messed up. She got the shrimp platter instead with mash potatoes, and the corn. Instead she should have gotten shrimp and chicken with fries. The waiter did bring out her chicken and fries. I don't fault the waiter for the cooks mistakes. He tried to make it right and was very pleasant. The lady that seated us sat other people. She placed them in a booth that the light was out. She knew it was out from a statement I overheard. But she placed them anyhow. They asked to move to a location with a light. And she outright lied to them and told them she didn't know the light was broken.

I wanted to send a message to her about customer service. Our order after our Dixie Direct Card was only $13.00. Not sure of the change amount. I left that waiter a $10.00 tip and told him he was the only good thing with the dining experience. They do offer Coke Products, Hot Teas, Ice Tea

If you haven't gotten a Dixie Direct Card. Its a great thing and saves you money time and time again.

Product Quality- Poor
Price- Reasonable
Location- Main Street and Bluff- Next To Denny's
Service- Waiter- Great- Other- Poor
Speed - OK
Cleanliness- OK
Atmosphere- Not very friendly and negative feel

Final Thought- The waiter was really good with a good personality. The rest was terrible. I don't understand how they are still in business.
P.S. The day shift is much better and they do offer a good breakfast bar. If you go, you might want to go before 4 pm.

Ernestos Mexican Restaurant - St. George, Utah

Ernesto's is located in the Phoenix Plaza. Phoenix Plaza is located on Sunset and Valley View Drive. I warn you though parking can be a pain at times. But worth it... I really enjoy going to Ernesto's. Alot times you can find coupons in the Value Pak or one of the local papers. Not sure on the name of the paper though.


Today I had the #22. It is a Enchilada and Tamale with beans and rice. I also had a Horchata ( Rice Milk Drink). My main course was $8.50. Each meal comes with free chips and home made salsa. They also offer alcohol and non- alcohol drinks... They serve coke products and Ice/Sweet tea. I am a Diet Pepsi drinker. That is the only drawback for us... At least they offer Ice Tea and the never fail water(which is the wise choice). I'm not always so wise though,lol.
