Big Mama Grill

Aruba


The view and the cocktails are the main draws at this bar and grill steps from Baby Beach (the Flintstones theme is taken a bit too far, however: employees are dressed like characters). The food's decent; go for a sandwich, some seafood or a local favorite such as goat curry or johnnycakes (deep-fried dough filled with cheese, meat or vegetables).
