I have been going to Aruba every year since 1992. For the past several years, Iguana Joe's is our eating place the night we arrive. Their drinks are great, as well as the black bean soup, french onion soup, steak churrasco and many other dishes. We took friends who live in Aruba to the restaurant last week, it was their... more

This place was convenient to the hotel an shopping. The drinks were potent. the food was mediocre. I ate some aruban traditional dish. Can't remember the name. Hubby had Jambalaya. There were a bunch of tourists there. it's near where the cruise ships dock. It was ok. I'd go again because of the convenience but the food was mediocre. more

We hadn't tried Joe's in the past. We were pleasantly surprised. The sangria was very good. The blackened grouper was tasty, although a bit dry. They make a traditional Aruban dish that has a hint of curry in it. Very tasty and very filling. This place is a good value, has very attentive & prompt wait staff (which can be... more

We always look forward to returning to Iguana Joe's in Aruba especially for their great ribs (2-way sampler is great), and hamburgers. Generally, they offer relatively large portions at a good price. The downside is that both indoor and outdoor seating do not have great air conditioning, making it a little too warm and humid at times. more

I had an enjoyable eating experience at Iguana Joe's Caribbean Bar & Grill in Aruba! This restaurant is situated across the street from the Port of Call and right next to the Royal Plaza Mall in downtown Oranjestad. After shopping for souvenirs, I had stopped at this bar & grill to eat. The host gave me a seat on the... more

I wanted to like Iguana Joe's! It has a big bar inside and a nice covered porch with dining tables in the middle and high top tables lining the balcony. It has an open air design and has great views of LG Smith Blvd, the ocean, and the marina. As a bonus, when we were there you could hear the... more

Great sangria, the jerk chicken was tasty but not overly spicy, the ribs had so much ground clove that it overpowered the meat. But, the atmosphere is excellent. Great location and the staff was very attentive! Nice portions and very reasonably priced. more

Ate here twice on our recent Aruba vacation. Has got a great outdoors atmosphere and the service is great. Food, especially the ribs, is great and portions are large - the ribs starter was huge! There is an excellent range of cocktails all served in cool jars! more

We needed a rest while shopping and stopped in for beers and food. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. Beers were cold and food was good. On a side note we met the owner of all three Joe's restaurants at Moomba Beach and he is a very nice guy and someone we will gladly give patronage to in years... more
