There are ribs and chicken on there, among other things. These are grilled meats, not low and slow roasted like you might expect. Bring your teeth and plan on chewing. So, here’s the ribs and chicken platter that includes corn on the cob, dinner roll, macaroni salad, and baked beans.

Note those prices are in Aruban florins, meaning you get a good value. This place is on the end of the main shopping street in Oranjestaad. It’ll take a little creativity to find parking, but if you’re into this kind of food at low prices, go for it! Enjoy ever meal!

Uncle Kenny’s BBQ, Aruba, video

After passing by Uncle Kenny’s BBQ for a couple of months, it was time to stop in and give it a try. This place is located near the Certified MegaMall on the access road that parallels the main highway between Oranjestaad and the hotel area in Aruba. There’s plenty of parking in front but only a couple of tables with shade. Plan for a take away experience. Here’s a video showing you a typical Aruban Sunday BBQ feast:

Man, that was a lot of food! Tasty, too. I expected it to be saltier but it wasn’t like some of the other joints that really load up the ribs before they hit the grill. This would be a good place to pop in after a day at the beach or for an inexpensive snack. Bon dia and don’t forget the cholesterol lowering medication of choice.

King Ribs, Aruba

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.
