Arrived at restaurant 5:30 only one other table occupied. Placed our ordered food arrived promptly and was very good. And then our waitress disappeared. Waited about 15 min. To get our check when a man came over and asked if we wanted dessert and told us it was free because it was the early bird special. Ordered ice cream very... More

there were 11 of us and the service was on top of everything. this is a casual spot with good hearty portions and prices were not bad. i was stuffed. the ribs fell off the bone. shrimp were a little anemic but tasty. pitchers of sangria had little punch to them, but were ok. i would return if i wanted...

Servers are very friendly but slow! The ribs are well worth the price and sitting in the heat was worth it! I love love love this place!

I thought the food was excellent at this restaurant - the service was just okay. There were a few times we asked for something and the waiter completely forgot to bring it. We had 2 little kids with us so I was happy for a kids menu and a high chair - both are very accomodating.

Ribs are the best in town. Go for the sting potatoes they are very tasty. We went there a couple of times. The only negative is that the waiting to get a table is very long. Guess that we are not the only one that like the ribs. Price is not too expensive. We are a party of 5, so... More

Ok....so this is traditional ribs/chicken sort of fare...but it keeps us coming back every year. This time there were only two of us so we got their sampler for two dinner. It was enough for our dinner and our lunch the next day. The ribs are terrific. The half chicken has this yummy sweet sauce on it that is truly... More

We eat there twice. Once when we get to Aruba and once before we leave. Very good ribs. And the one waiter we always ask for is kelvin.has a great personality and works well with people. A true asset to your resturant

I'm sorry to say I felt this was just average and a little disappointed. Although the pulled pork was good there just wasn't all that much on the bun. I asked about the rice and they only served white so I opted for the black beans, I can eat white rice anytime at home. Maybe I should have tried the... More

We loved it so much that we went back twice out of our 5 nights in Aruba. We don't eat meat so the only option was vegetarian and fish - and we didn't feel like we were missing out at all! My South African husband (who lived in London for a while) said that theirs was the best fish and... More
