Great location, good food, but tables are to close together
April 2024, came here with friends and we sat at a table inside by the window overlooking the beach. One thing I noticed is that the tables are not spaced out, they are too close together which make it uncomfortable to move in and out of your seat. Our Server was friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I ordered the Classic Burger with fries. The Burger was good, and the fries were nice and crispy. My friend ordered the Coconut Fried Shrimp that was crispy and not greasy. All and all, the food was good with a great location. The only drawback was the noise, the bathroom (women) that was too small, and the tables are too close together.
Be the first to ReplyNice beachside restaurant.
Good food , nice atmosphere and the service is fast which is something you rarely find in crowded beach restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyNice meal!
You can have indoor or outdoor seating; service was quick, food was excellent. Shrimp scampi was wonderful, a little pricey, did not come with any sides ( bread/salad). Strawberry field salad was wonderful. Loud when you first walk in, can be seated in "back" where it is a little quieter.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolute worst service, and food quality
Very poor service, food took an hour and was served cold, server was no where to be found. This place was a big disappointment. I would not recommend this place, and if I could give them zero stars, I would.
Be the first to ReplyFun atmosphere, live music, great food right on the beach
Beautiful setting right on the beach. Great live music, and a terrific atmosphere. Crowds of people having the best time! Menu is not fancy, but everything was fresh and delicious. I had the teriyaki pineapple burger, which was amazing. Also, I could have eaten two orders of their terrific coconut shrimp. We also tried the popular Bimini bread, which was awesome, but better served to a crowd because itโs a whole loaf of bread. Still, no regrets! Would definitely return to Lauderdale By-the-sea. We are staying in Ft Lauderdale, but found this northern town to be super appealing. Worth the drive up there for dinner.
Be the first to ReplyOn the Commercial street Beach with tables on the beach! Cool! Waitress vey active and good with service.
Nice expensive menu items but the seafood soup is wonderful Like a meal! Many other interesting items on the menu! Also good drinks. Be sure to try one!
Be the first to ReplyGreat place but bad bartender
This is one of my favorite places for 20 years! Great food, nice music, and one of the best happy hour in town but the last time the bartender threw me a half-margarita when I ask her she told me that didn't know it was mine but I was with some friends in front I just went to the bathroom! She didn't replace it and i realize that she was doing it with other people at the bar! Also to my friend with a beer and we complained to her, she got upset and yelled at us!! And there she didnโt want to server the drinks and give us such a hard time! Thanks God was other bartender very nice in the same bar! This place is great but a terrible service can ruin the moment!
Be the first to ReplyWorst lunch experience
This has been the absolute worst luncheon experience โ we have been here for more than an hour. Ordered upon arrival. Still waiting for food. Appetizer took 30 minutes. Every table around us complaining. The wait staff just keeps apologizing. One indicated the beach tables are getting food first. Children all around us are hungry and have been sitting for a very long time. No one seems to care, just a shrug of the shoulders. Oddly enough there are many empty tables all around
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful Location - But Put Some Alcohol in the Drinks Please
This restaurant has a beautiful location on the beach, although most people were eating inside, which is odd. The food was generally OK, but we don't go to the beach for the food. The service was generally OK, but with room for improvement. The disappointment was our drinks. Two frozen margaritas and you should be feeling it. Didn't.
Be the first to ReplyToo Dark for Me
There are a half dozen or so open air bars and restaurants within a two block radius - this establishment is dark, noisy, and claustrophobic. Of the many choices in Lauderdale by the Sea, itโs my least favorite place. That being said, the Happy Hour fish tacos are really good, the Yuengling draft at $2.50 is great deal, and the wall to wall patrons bring a festive atmosphere to the joint. Still, have a drink and move on, there are better places.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, fresh seafood with a beautiful view
Went for dinner with a group of 6 on a Saturday night. Arrived around 545pm and were seated right away at a window table overlooking the beach. The staff was friendly, and the drinks came out quickly. We all got a seafood or fish entree and the food was delicious. Everything tasted very fresh, was seasoned nicely, and VERY generous portions. Three people got the Blackened Seafood Trio and said it was amazing. The restaurant is definitely a hot spot and very busy. They donโt take reservations so I think we lucked out with how fast we were seated. But even if you have to wait, there are three bars inside as well as a bunch of places you can walk to while you wait. There is also live music all the time which makes the place a busy spot at night. We have gone a couple of times and itโs always a great time. If you are in LBTS and looking for a local place to enjoy some fresh seafood, highly recommend Arubaโs!

Great food and staff! We had many apps and great drinks. The music was fun! Itโs an easy walk into town and itโs on the beach! What more could you want!
Be the first to ReplyAlways a great time!
Came here for lunch after our cruise returned to FLL. This was our third visit to LBTS, and like our fifth or sixth visit to the ABC. We just like it! Atmosphere obviously has a beachy feel, which is great. You can sit outside, or sit inside and still see the beach and ocean. There is frequently live music, which is fun. The menu has lots of great and fresh choices. If possible, try Happy Hour, where the costs are less, the portions a bit smaller, but everything still great!
Be the first to ReplyGreat views and location. Food is okay
This is a really popular beachfront spot in the area. The place has not be re decorated in 30 years. It is kind of beat up but the daytime view of the beach is fantastic. If you sit in the main dining room, you get a view of all of the people laying on the beach which is kind of entertaining. The food is okay. It is pricey. They have a crazy happy hour with food and drinks at good prices. There is outside dining and there are 3 bars inside and live music. There are a lot of local barflies here. (The crowd is generally over 50) You canโt beat the location but there are better food options in the area
Be the first to ReplyThere is a reason this place is busy
This was our first stop and it did not disappoint, the place was packed but we sat by the bar. Kat was our bartender and was fabulous. We ordered the bread and ended up giving alot to the other customers, it is an entire loaf! The escargot was wonderful. Great music and great atmosphere!
Be the first to ReplyWho eliminated the salad!
For the past two years Aruba Cafeโs online menu shows that they have a Lobster Salad sandwich and even shows a picture. When Iโve arrived the past several times, Iโm told by the wait staff that they have discontinued that item a while back. If thatโs the case could you please update your website. It would save me a trip.
Be the first to Replyyummy drinks but crowded
This is nice oceanside restaurant, they really cram everyone in on the patio area though. Everyone liked their food and the service was good here too.
Be the first to ReplyExpensive but good

Be the first to ReplyGreat Happy Hour
We got there a little early to get a seat at the bar. Entertainment was good, friendly staff and customers. Highly recommend Chicken Wings and Greek Salad.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food, great service, as always
Always love to eat here when passing through the area. Bimini bread is a whole loaf of magic, crab cakes tasted fresh and fluffy, yellowtail snapper and Ahi Tuna steak was cooked nice as well. Santiago , our server was very nice and receptive to our pace. I have been in the industry for years and a server like him is hard to come by, very on point!
Be the first to ReplyHugely disappointing tourist trap
It was not my first time at Aruba ... but it was my worst ... I often bring friends from out of the area here ... and usually it's decent ... today was not ... we were fortunate to get a table outside with a view of the ocean ... and there the magic ended ... Our waiter was John ... well ... he was our waiter ... we started with ceviche .. it was OK ... no spice ... some lime juice ... bland ... but ok ... my friend and i decided to share quesadilla and fish tacos ... but we specified NO TOMATOES... yeah .. the fish tacos arrived .. .with enough lettuce to be a salad that you could not get in your mouth ,,, and fish very undercooked ...so many garniches that you could not get them in your mouth .. and laden with tomatoes ... he stopped by to ask how it was and my friend said "i asked for no tomatoes" ... "uh wow" and on he went to the next table ... the other dish was the seafood quesadilla ... lots of bland unspiced seafood ... but at least the fish was cooked ... and suddenly John stopped by to see if we wanted to send the tacos back .. by then we had picked them out and then gave up trying to eat the damned mess .,,, anyway ... a simple lunch was nearly $100 ... plus parking ... we were mostly grateful for the sunshine ... but after many years of going here I 'm no longer willing to excuse the food
Be the first to ReplyGreat Happy Hour
Aruba's has both drink and food specials during happy hour. Happy Hour was from 3pm to 7 pm so plenty of time to try more than one special. The food was great and fresh. We started with the Jerk chicken wings. We also had the ahi tuna and fish tacos. All was delicious. I had mixed drinks and my husband had beer. We left full and feeling good. We arrived at 4 pm (early) to get a seat at one of the three bar areas and left just before happy hour ended. Bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Friendly visitors both local and from all over to interact with at the vibrant Aruba bar. Aruba's is right on Lauderdale -by-the-Sea beach at the pavilion.
Be the first to ReplyGood atmosphere, great views and good food
Lots of people, good atmosphere, good food and, above all, reasonable waiting times.
The staff was friendly and the service worked. The portions were brisk in size and there was warm bread on many tables. It was tasty, but a little too much.
The location is central and the atmosphere by the beach is good.
Test it too!
