Description: Recently relocating to the hotel area near Eagle Beach, Hollywood Smokehouse is the island's only smokehouse where we are "doin' it low and slow" over hickory. Join us weekends from noon to 8pm. We are a casual, chill local spot popular with locals and tourists. Our meals are served take-away style, but next door is The Old Dutch Bar, a popular community hangout with indoor and outdoor seating and drinks at local prices,. where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Classic barbecue favorites include pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, chicken, and our famous and original to Aruba--smoked grouper!

During our two years as transplanted Arubianos, who now fondly miss our Dutch Caribbean home, we loved the Hollywood Smokehouse. You really must try to meet the owner to learn about the long history of the Hollywood, and how he is carrying this forward into the next generation. Any of the smoked meats are great, and the BBQ sauces are... More

Just visited the place, saw their ad in the Island Tempations Magazine in Aruba. They had such a nice picture of their beef brisket that I had to go and buy, which I wasn't disappointed at all. Excelent food good price, and as advertised a take out style restaurant only. Staff was very friendly

If you like good ribs and lots of them, this is the place. Only open on Saturday and Sunday but worth the wait. Very good food and reasonable prices by a very pleasant staff. The bar-b-q is terrific and you will be full when you leave. . . . Worth the time to find it. It's across the street from... More

Who would have thought you could get excellent Carolina BBQ in Aruba? Heard so much about this place we just had to stop. It's located behind the PizzaHut next to The Old Dutch Bar. Only opened on Saturday and Sunday and either takeout or eat it at the bar. Hickory smoked Bbq is outta this world. We had brisket, pulled... More

We had lunch at Hollywood Smokehouse when they were in San Nicolas. They are now near the low and high rise hotels at Pos Abao 41, Bubali. They are now next door to the Old Dutch Bar and only open on weekends for now. Mike and Tina the owners are great. My wife and I both had the pulled pork... More

It was a little hard to find directions because it has moved since most of the online information has been put on. If you are on the main road going from Eagle Beach to Palm Beach, you will come to a traffic circle. Make a right at that circle where you will see a Texaco. On the right there will... More

This is just an outdoor serving place. They dont have drinks, or seats, so you have to take it or eat our food at the bar next door and order drinks. Food was okay, but didn't com Are to any barbeque that I've had. Wasn't worth the expensive price. Friendly staff though.

Whenever I come to Aruba I always make sure to visit Hollywood Smokehouse Diner at least two to three times. The only thing better than their beef brisket is the customer service. The staff makes me feel right at home and the food is reminiscent of my grandma's southern style cooking. While you're visiting this "one happy island" I would... More
