This is the first restaurant we go to each time we arrive on the island. The ribs are outrageous and you can sit outside and enjoy the people walking by as you enjoy eating your dinner.

Best ribs in most of the Caribbean, I tried the 4 way sampler, most of them were awesome, the supposed "jamaican jerk" was everything but good, over spiced without the real jerk taste (lot of ginger and other species but never felt scotch bonnet). So if you go there better try the Smokeys Signature Ribs.
For service, very standard (little...

I am very fussy when it comes to any sort of food involving any thing but pure lean meat but I really really enjoyed the ribs I had, both from a taste and texture point of view and would recommend Smokey Joe's to every one even if you are over the road on an all inclusive deal.

My husband and I plus friends have been visiting Aruba for over 20 years and the one place we all visit is Smokey Joe's. The food has always been excellent. The employees are always very courteous and will go out of their way to serve you. The prices are inexpensive and you definitely get your monies worth.
We always make it a point to have dinner here at least once during our visit to Aruba. Try the pulled pork sandwich....very good! Great location, casual dining and reasonable prices. Owners must be big "Boston" sports fans! Go Sox!
Service was very slow, what was served was not fit for human consumption. If you want a bad dinning experience this is the place. I saw others come in a leave before thier orders were taken!
If you like BBQ Ribs and great casual dinning Smokey Joe's is the place to go. On our first night on every visit to Aruba, we go here. Reservations are not needed and prices are reasonable. Don't miss this gem on your visit.

To get our check when a man came over and asked if we wanted dessert and told us it was free because it was the early bird special. Ordered ice cream very...
