On-StJohn Road Trip: Donkey Diner

The three signs on the road in front of Donkey Diner in Coral Bay sum it up: Breakfast. Internet. Pizza. And if there were an entry in the Zagat Dining Guide, it would say “Come hungry.” In today’s On-StJohn TV Road Trip interview, meet the owners, British transplant Clare Bole and former Virginia wine salesman Doug Weaver. And find out what “Donkey Balls” are….below!

    We’ve spent many many pleasant hours at Donkey Diner. You would be hard pressed to find a more friendly, happy, congenial place. And…the food really is “kick ass”. Thanks for including them in your On-StJohn Road Trip.

    I totally agree with Clares accessment on why this side of the island………Coral Bay is a little village to me………
    I did not even know there were new owners of Donkey………Can tell I have been gone since Sept 2005 and missed that one…….
    Thanks for the road trip guys……

    Best pizza on-island is served at the Donkey Diner. BYOB and relax at one of the picnic tables in the back. You’ll see old friends and make new ones. BTW – love those views of Coral Bay…

    OMG my laptop went on the frtiz today and I haven’t been able to get a STJ fix until after 6pm!!!!! Had to wait for computer support (husband) to bring home an extra laptop and start working on repairs!
    I have had a day from HECK and would do anything to be having pizza at the DD now.

    “Cruz Bay is like the big city” I love it! From someone who grew up in NJ and now lives in what passes for a city, it’s so funny to hear them say that. But, I can see why. I’m still a Cruz Bay devotee though.

    I do need to get me some Donkey Diner next time I’m on island.

    And…wow…listen to JEff’s voice. So booming.
