Quick stop off from your cruising port. You can enjoy the day in their open-air cafe while sipping on a Heineken. No wifi, so talk to people! Remember : this place is very much on Island Time, so don't expect fast service.
Went to the Paddock on March 1 2018 for beers. Worst service I ever had. This is the eighth time I have visited the Paddock and the last. I ordered four rounds of the same drinks and every Time I paid a different amount. I called the bar tender on it and all of sudden he didn’t understand English! I will never go back
When you have waited for service so long that you have to flag down a waiter to ask for a menu, then you wait and wait and you flag down the waiter again to order and then they bring you the wrong food. And then you wait over 20 mins with dirty plates on your table and then you flag down a waiter again to ask for the check then you wait another 10 mins to pay the bill.I guess just my luck to get a horrible horrible service for a mediocre food. Going to this place kinda put a damper on a perfect day.
Loved it. It was my favourite place for a beer and place to cool down. One very hot late morning, I was the only one there. Their wonderful hostess took the time to ask me how my stay had been, told me where the sights were in the old town and, most importantly, where to find the best body boarding beaches including which ones to avoid because of dangerous riptide conditions. Will be my first stop again when I return to Aruba.
A bit of a cuisine mish mash. The food was nothing special and prices and service were average, but the vibe is casual and the location on the water (overlooking boat docks) was a great place to catch some shade and a breeze. No WiFi - they are pretty adamant about that.
10 days on the Island, and the meal we had was delicious and a great value. The atmosphere is laid back and right on the water with an amazing breeze. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Piña coladas weren't good. Too expensive for what it was. And the server misplaced my credit card.
Came at around 7-8ish for dinner during an all you can eat ribs night ($15). Wasn't in the mood for ribs so got a mixed grill of fish. It was okay. Probably 1 out of the 4 were really good. Mostly the wait was the worst part.
Felt like the waiter forgot about us half the time, took forever for him to come by, and even forgot our request for water once. We ended up just walking up to pay instead of waiting for the check to come since it would probably take 20 minutes.
The food isn't anything special, the fish at least. Can't speak for the ribs. Mostly had to wait in a half full place forever with no water while it was sweltering out.
Loved it. It was my favourite place for a beer and place to cool down.
Stopped in for a beer at about 11:30am, looking for an escape from the unusually hotter than normal weather. I was the only customer at the time. Their very lovely hostess was kind and thoughtful and was willing to answer my questions about local bodyboarding beaches and what was the best parts of the local town to see. Next time I'm in Aruba, I'll be going there for dinner. Their menu offerings looked great.
When we vacation in Aruba, we never forget one of our favorite places to eat, The Paddock. They have the best, finger-licking BBQ Ribs! Their fish dishes are awesome as well and the view of the big ships coming in makes our vacation perfect.in the friendly island of Aruba!
Good food, good view, try the all-you-can-eat spareribs ribs if you're in the mood. Right across the street from the Crystal Casino. In the heart of downtown Orangestadt Aruba.
It's ok.. I recommend you the all-you-can-eat spare ribs. 22,75 florins p.p.
Nice view over the harbour.
Used to be 5 star café. In Dutch ' vergane glorie'. Poor service
All you can eat hamburguers and ribs!! is amazing!
Great location in the downtown area of Aruba. Located close by to the cruise liner dock with a nice view of the harbour. Great service and good food. The atmosphere in the open air lounge is outstanding. When we went, they had all you can eat ribs on special. Parking was really easy and it was free after 7.00pm (if I remember correctly).
Good place to sit down and enjoy a nice lunch or dinner. View isn't as great as some people same, but still pretty nonetheless. Service was great and food was delicious. Menu's are also available in different languages to accommodate tourists.
