Fat Tony’s Smokehouse | Southern BBQ Restaurant
Best Dining in St. Maarten 2026 – We Are SXM Tourist Info Center
“Indulge in tender, smoky barbecue paired with Southern-style hospitality, generous portions, and an inviting casual atmosphere perfect for family meals or a relaxed night out in Jordan Village
Fat Tony’s has everything an American-style BBQ shack should have. Drip-down-your-chin smoked meat platters, creamy tater salad, significant portions, and the friendliest staff you’ll find in SXM.
Founder Rick is usually there enjoying good times and a chat with clients at this hot spot — and if you’re lucky, he’ll pull out his harmonica for a tune. Meanwhile, bartender Martin makes sure the drinks keep flowing. From Heineken draught beers to martinis and everything inbetween…
And every day, a must-visit Happy Hour from 4 PM – 7 PM.
In the kitchen, Maudry & Suzette turn out a smoked meat sandwich and poutine that are to die for — plus an incredible pizza. We dare you to try the biggest size!
Don’t forget Fat Tony’s homemade Hot Sauces for an extra kick.

Rick Cassidy has a heart of gold, which he proved after Hurricane Irma by feeding the masses with the limited resources he could find.
Today, the smokehouse is exactly what Rick always envisioned, and it’s become the place to be in Cupecoy. Watch your favorite sports games on their big-screen TVs and take out the projector for big matches. Next, they host special nights to screen popular series or movies, together with wings and drink specials; it can’t get much better… Unless you add 7 days of live music (yes, you read that right)!
Whether you are a tourist, an islander, or just passing through, Fat Tony’s feels like family. Mention you read about them on “We Are SXM” and Rick will play a song on his harmonica :)

Had dinner with a girlfriend. The menu is perfect, something for everyone. The service was awesome and loved the selection of smoked meats. Will be back definitely!
One of the best places for smoked meat I have ever visited. They offer a good nutritious meat platter along with creamy salads on side. The surrounding turns out cheerful when the live entertainment start. Highly recommend this place!
We had a splendid meal and night out with bunch of my friends. We ate excellent food and had a very warm welcome. We had smoked Lambchops with fresh vegetables and homemade gravy. The appetizer was also very good. Highly recommended!
Great food at a reasonable price! Love the loaded baked potato as well as salads. Fat Tony’s Smokehouse is my absolute favourite restaurant. The food is always fantastic and the service was delightful and very professional. Highly recommended!
