Aruba Beach Cafe is quintessential South Florida livin'. It hasn't really changed much since it opened in 1983. Both tourists & locals frequent this classically Floridian upbeat eatery .
Typical big American feel. Oysters are massive, mussels are absolutely drowning in butter & garlic , & the rub on anything “blackened” is very strong. Drinks could be classed up a bit. Location is top!
Almost always good. Watch the ocean and chill while having great food and drink. Go early on Sunday if you plan on brunch as it ends at 11AM
The Bimini bread is served w/ honey butter . W/ rotating drink specials , the happy hour packs the ocean-view bar . - See more at: http://flmag.com/restaurant-guide/aruba-beach-cafe#sthash.KoQTSTbW.dpuf
Everything is awesome and that includes our server tonight, Chuck was friendly , answered every menu question, and even talked me into the best apple , caramel pie I've ever had ! GreatFood GreatServer
This place is awesome. Directly on the beach , they usually have live music and the food is pretty good. My sons also love it (they are 13 and 16).
Order some of the signature Bimini bread for the table. (The full loaf is huge; a half order is plenty for parties of four or fewer.) The conch fritters are good for sharing, too. Read more
Looks like just another beach strip restaurant , but fresh, quality food! Outdoor seating is best because the music inside is overwhelming and doesn't work if you want to have a conversation.
Great Mali mahi Cesar salad . Great view of the ocean but there are many drunks. These two were so drunk and yelling non sense. Be careful who you sit next to there. The waiter said they were drinkin
The atmosphere is upbeat, with live music daily and dancing after 9 or 10 p.m. Looking for a bargain? Come for happy hour (4-7 p.m.) on Friday and enjoy a complimentary pig roast . Read more
Awesome food. Get the mahi mahi sandwich blackened with the vegetables as a side and ditch the bun . Great lunch
Come on Sundays and enjoy the steel drum band and excellent drinks. Everyone needs to come here once and try the Bikini Bread .
Always a good experience especially when the weather is nice. Take a walk on the pier after your meal/drinks and enjoy. 8/10
Go for happy at the inside bar , cheap eats, good drinks, Brinley bartenders and live ????
Great view food has gone progressively downhill. Burned crab cake with more cake than crab ! Jamaican wings are good and bread , play it safe have wings and a drink and enjoy the view .

Cold Coronas and a dozen oysters ....great end to a hot day on the beach , BUT then treat yourself to the Seafood Louie alas and if ur lucky enough 2 have Shannon as ur server then it will be PERFECT!
Kinda noisy . But so far lobster bisque is divine and so are the conch fritters . And its on the beach ...so life doesn't get much better.
If you wanna try an American style burger here would be a nice option. By the way, frozen margarita looks so fancy but it was not as hard as what I expected.
They have the most amazing key lime pie ! Loooooved it!
A girl's gotta eat! I love seafood , the ocean, & Aruba gives me everything I need. Dine as you gaze out to the water. Latrice Royal, RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4
Absolutely the very best salmon dish I have ever had. The sesame crusted salmon is spectacular.
Bartender was very attentive during happy hour and my portobello burger was delicious!! Great french fries !
Amazing place... for meeting new people as well as for getting tasty food and cooool drinks
Great food huge portions this place gets really crowded at night which can also mean the service suffers.
Bimini bread is so frickin awesome...Seafood Louie salad was fantastic. I was full and had to get every bit of seafood in it, lol!
Fabulous Food, Great Service! We have been coming to this restaurant for 20+ Years & it never fails ❤❤❤

Blackened Mahi and the view is always wonderful especially on a sunny day....
Good Food. Friday nights they have a Hawaiian Show. Call for reservations if you want a good seat to watch.
Order the bread to start off. Enjoy the beach views . Food is good for seafood bar fare
Fun live music ! Went for my grandmas 83rd birthday and she had a blast
The mousse cake is absolutely delicious! Highly recommended dessert .
Nice location and atmosphere. Ended up here after 2 hour storm hit the beach . Hummus appetizer was ok, drink prices were decent. Good place to socialize
Amazing lobster salad - good service , try and eat outside on a sunny day
The bimi bread is a good choice. I heard the lobster is good too
Lobster and crab bisque Bread and APPLE and caramel Pie ????????
In addition to a menu of delectable seafood entrees, two bars offer fruity cocktails , serious cocktails , and the company of locals and tourists alike.
The fresh seafood plates are great. The patio seating is delightful.
Key West shrimp plate was delicious
Great service, great food, & live music . Sit outside for beautiful views of the beach .
Beautiful day. At ft. Lauderdal- by the sea. Nachos , salmon , Bimini bread ,, Hawaiian Cosmo .
This is not a one "$" place. It's priced appropriately for its location (right on the beach ) and it's food quality (quite good). Very busy, but capable service. Bimini bread - believe the hype.
The bread is OUTSTANDING! The blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich & normal entree is unbelievable!! Highly recommend this place to anyone who ask!
Cute place food takes really long to come out but the live music makes up for it.
Seared tuna is awesome and Petron on the rocks with lime . YOW!
Peel & Eat Shrimp With a Bloody Mary !!! Perfect Match!!
Mostly good, if you are undecided go with seafood trio
Great place. Musik, beach and fun. Love the seared tuna salad
Get a table near the beach , enjoy the breeze, try a Key Lime Margarita and let things go
I had the Grouper Reuben Sandwich, it was AWESOME! Diane our waitress was Great!!! Will be going back. - Jerry Martin
The Dinner at Dusk menu is great! If you go from 5-6, there is a discounted menu to order from. The prime rib is always good as well as the lobster. - Richard Combs
Everything is good - Desiree Rosenquist
Delicious food, lovely staff, great views and right on the beach. You will not leave unsatisfied. Love Aruba's!! - Caitlin Thomas
Best ice cream! Fudge is also really good but pricey. All home made chocolates and candies. - Mike Warman
Good beach. South side of the pier is typically a little more locals. - Aaron Hager
