Big Mama Grill

This place located right on Baby beach was such a convenient location for lunch. We had the oxtail and curry chicken entrees. We liked the oxtail entree a lot. The curry chicken was good however does had quite some bones. We were also given two tickets for restroom pass since we ate here to use.

We stopped in last week while enjoying the beautiful Baby Beach. Friendly locals serving delicious fish sandwiches (as well as many other options) and a wide selection of both adult island drinks and nonalcoholic smoothies. We didn’t end up using the bathroom facilities but were grateful they had them. The beautiful wooden furniture is so unique and made for a pleasant experience, even after coming in soaked from the passing storm. Very fun and laid back atmosphere!

Every time we come to Aruba, Big Mama’s is a non-negotiable stop — it’s that good! The curry chicken is absolutely a must — flavorful, tender, and seasoned to perfection. The drinks are always strong and refreshing, perfect for sipping by the beach. We nearly missed our flight once because we doubled back for another plate — that’s how hooked we are! Unfortunately, they had closed early that day, but it just speaks to how much we crave this spot before heading home. A special shout-out to Lorenzo, who always welcomes us like family. He makes each visit feel like a homecoming. If you’re heading to Baby Beach, do yourself a favor and stop at Big Mama’s. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

We love Aruba and Baby beach. We always stop in at Big Mama's. Today our waiter/bartender, Yashin C., was very nice and friendly along with Jermaine & Lorenzo! Our drinks were great and enjoyable! We appreciate great customer service! 👍👏👏👏

Such a fun place to grab a bite and slurp down some frozen daiquiris! A group of us saddled up to the beachside bar to cool off and rehydrate and loved it! The atmosphere was lively and fun and the drinks were fantastic. Bartender Lorenzo was fun and welcoming…lending to the reason Aruba is called “the happy island”. Another special shoutout to bartender, Fabian, also!

This place is terrible, sorry. All the hype and it got our money. There is nothing ethnic about this place. Focused on beach goers who aren’t used to flavor or too drunk to care. It’s really the only place to eat on the beach so it monopolizes on tourists. Nothing looked really appetizing on other people’s plates nor the menu. We ended up getting the goat or beef curry and didn’t finish it. Rice undercooked. Drink watered down. We had to fight to get a waiter and they never stuck with us. The place was only 75% full without a wait. And the Flintstone costumes are hideous. So unthrifty and unfitting. It’s super confusing. Pass
