This little hidden gem is amazing. They are only open over the weekend and is frequented mostly by locals. There food is great, especially their BBQ ribs.

We first saw Bobbajan's after a dive at the Yellow Submarine. We could smell the BBQ before we even happened upon the restaurant. We decided against it for lunch because when we passed by it, it looked like they only had take away. After talking to some long time Bonaire visitors at the Bellafonte that afternoon, they mentioned that they... More

We always make it a habit of take out from Bobbejan's. The BBQ plater for one will feed two of you easily. Always tasty. Have never eaten outside in the back but it looks like fun and something I will have to try sometime.

Bobbejan's is our first meal off the plane and last meal before we get back on the plane (not to mention a place we frequent throughout the rest of our stay too!). We have dined in their outdoor courtyard several times, but would highly recommend take-out over dining in, as the courtyard gets very buggy-and you never leave mosquito bite... More

It is our habit to make Bobbejan's our first dinner stop in Bonaire. Get the Bobbejan special (ribs, satay, chicken and fries). Finger licking good.

Kind of a little rustic, but we like that. The portions were a little small, but good value. Our least expensive dinner.

I arrived late and walked down the coast to find dinner. Smelled this wonderful BBQ smell and followed my nose to this very crowded spot. I thought crowd equals good eats. I was wrong. I went to the walk up counter and was ignored for 15 minutes. Finally got my order- the Bobbajan special so i could try everything. I... More

We went to this restaurant on the evening of our second day in Bonaire. We heard the local food there was good. And so it was! Huge portions, delicious ribs!
