New restaurant: Barefoot Cowboy Lounge
Remember Laurie Toth, the entrepreneur who started the Saltwater Gypsy consignment store at The Lumberyard a few months ago?
Meet her boyfriend, Wayne Campbell.
Wayne moved to St. John a little more than a year ago, and after having fun bartending at Spyglass for a while, he was itching to start his own business. Which he has.
Wayne now runs The Barefoot Cowboy Lounge, on the consignment store’s Lumberyard porch, the same place that used to be Polli’s Mexican restaurant, next to the Lucky Pagoda.
Wayne serves homestyle lunch with daily specials like pulled pork sandwiches, brisket and red beans and rotisserie chicken and rice, all with a Texas twist. And he’s working on an idea he’s thinking of calling Family Night: a potluck dinner with a cash bar and dishes brought up by locals.
The Barefoot Cowboy is open Monday through Friday from 11 am to 7 pm.

We had the pleasure of meeting Wayne and visiting his beautiful place the week of Aug 12th. Had more than a few cocktails and many, many laughs. I have officially added ‘by golly’ to my New Jersey vocabulary…..
God willing we will see Cruz Bay again soon.

Wayne, i heard you had moved and opened up your own place. Way to go. Wish you the best of luck! Maybe i’ll make it there someday to see it. Sounds like paradise.

It’s great for a drifter who hasn’t seen his kids in over two years and calls them twice a year—-frying up pig meat on a backyard homedepot $25 dollar grill—the extent of his talents—-his kids don’t even know who he is….probably a blessing in disguise. DEADBEAT.

We stopped in at the Barefoot Cowboy for happy hour for Wayne’s $2 beers and try his pork sliders. To our surprise this was the best smoke pork and brisket on the island. The place is off the beaten path, very small but what a heck of a view of Cruz Bay.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get away from the tourists traps and enjoy food, fun and drinks with friends.
