Finding the Hollywood Smokehouse Diner in Aruba is easy, especially if you can vicariously drive there. I made the following video because people have been asking EXACTLY how to get to the joint. Put on your glasses and take notes. Use the HD function if you want the best view. Here we go.
Now you’re all set. When you arrive in Aruba and have a hankering for quality BBQ at very reasonable prices, all you have to do is fire up the fun machine and get on the roll.
Bon dia.
A few days ago, I posted about the food served at King Ribs in Oranjestaad, Aruba, DWI. Lots of people have been asking how to get there. Thus, I made the following video to show the route from the hotel area on the main highway. Check it out:
Now you know how to get there. Enjoy the food and don’t eat too much!

King Ribs is what the name implies, a king of ribs in Oranjestaad, Aruba. I’ve wanted to get to this place for a long time, and finally did yesterday for the Sunday BBQ fest that happens each week all across the island. Here’s a look at the joint from street level.
There are two guys working the grills full time, slapping down ribs, chicken, and such delectables atop the hot coals. Here they are in action.
The smell wafting out of here is all the advertising they need. Take a look at the menu to see what’s on offer and the corresponding prices.
Please note those prices are in Florins. Divide by 1.75 to get the price in US dollars. In other words, the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quantity of the food you get. Let’s take a look at the chow.
On the left is the four piece chicken meal, complete with corn on the cob, boiled plantain, smashed potatoes. On the right you have the large ribs with the same sides. These two boxes easily fed three people. Maybe you like more in your belly. If so, order up accordingly. A line does form here, so you may want to call ahead. It’s also fun to watch the pit masters at work, chat with others waiting, and take in the local scene. Either way, you’ll enjoy the fun and flavor at King Ribs.
Bon dia.
I posted about the Daystar Cafe in Savaneta, Aruba, before. Here’s an update. It was breakfast time, perhaps my most favorite of the three meals, and I was already on the run from the early morning hours, so I decided to stop in for an omelet. Take a look.
One loaded omelete, eh? Toast and sausage to boot. Not shown a bowl of fried potatoes, you know, to keep the cholesterol up there. You’ll enjoy the good service at the Daystar as much as the food. The place is located behind the General Store in Savaneta, on the main highway. If you’re on the way to Baby Beach or roaming about the island, this is a great place for breakfast or lunch or to get some wraps, sandwiches, or a fruit bowl to go. Ice-cold Coca-Cola as well.
Bon dia from Aruba.
