    Best burger in Aruba. If you ever plan to visit Aruba, this is the place for a fantastic evening experience. The food is insane! The burgers are by far the best I had in years. The staff is the best, and the owner makes you feel like family! Live music on Fridays + burgers + good company! There is no other way to finish the week!

    Hands down one of my favorite place to have a burger on the island!!! Alfie's a small humble pub at Oranjestad near the church. Location may seem a bit sketchy but it is relatively safe. Their food is of great quality. My favorite burgers are the Le Twist or General Chow. Recently tried the Mushroom Swiss (?) also *chefs kiss* these are my go-to orders but all the other burgers are lit as welll. Lol. They have wraps and salads which I have yet to try. The poutine is also amazing!!!! I'm getting hungry now 😂 I have only tried the classic, Pig Out, Country Style and The Veg so far.. all soooo freakin good. I also enjoy their craft beer, my fave is the Modern Times Strawbery Limeade (they are seasonal), so nice and refreshing. Love the live music as well 🤩 Alfie's can be ish pricey especially for locals but so worth it! The ambiance, delicious food and very friendly, helpful + welcoming staff. More power to Alfie's! 🍔 🍻 🎶💗 PS: Almost forgot to mention that Alfie's is vegan friendly!

    During my 2 week stay in aruba i came here 3 times and i loved the food and company every time. The burger patties were so good and delicious, i got poutine every time on the side and it was amazing. The green onions on the poutine is a great choice. I tried a spicy burger which was delicious and tender. Great customer service and friendly/happy team.

    Fantastic food and very friendly service. Had the classic poutine (no pic), the Barnyard chicken sandwich, Eric's Mac Attack and handcut fries. All the food was amazing with the definite winners being the Classic Poutine and the Mac Attack. Highly recommend this restaurant and we'll definitely be back

    Canadian dive bar in Aruba! If you are into craft beer and seriously good comfort food then this is the place! They also have rib night on Thursday (I hear they sell out in like an hour after opening) and Nashville Hot chicken on Fridays and Saturdays. Check this place out!

    Great dive bar for burgers and wings. We have been loving the seafood in Aruba but have a soft spot for a good burger and poutine. We got there at 6 and the server was great. We tried the lemon pepper wings, black and blue burger, spicy chicken wrap and classic poutine. Other than the wings being very small we loved it all. The bacon on the burger and wrap was delicious and crispy unlike what we have experienced at multiple other places which have very fatty soggy gristle for bacon. We spoke with Peter and discussed his poutine recipe and he makes the gravy himself and gets the cheese curds from WI. These are not breaded curds which we usually see up north and were soft delicious chewy puffs. Off the beaten path but worth the trip. Go check them out.

    Best food ever! We had the Alfie’s burger which was the best burger we ever had😍. And the chicken wrap, which was fantastic. Loaded fries where delicious 🤤. Best junk food we ever had🙌🏽. Great atmosphere + live music.

    Dive bar, cheeseburgers were good. oddly need reservations for this bar, they had several days a week with specials and this is why reservations are highly recommended. Owner was very nice and stopped by to check on our table. Ordered an old fashioned to drink and it was strong!

    It's a small-ish place and very popular so if you intend to go make sure to make a reservation beforehand. That said it is definitely worth a visit for the ambiance, cocktails, live music and food.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service great burgers

  • 5/5 Steve T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for dinner on a Saturday. Was able to make reservation (via whatapp which was great) but wasn’t really required. The staff was super friendly. The vibe was very relaxed. The food was good and was an affordable price for the island. Margarita for 14 Arubian (like 8USD). They also have a lot of beers from San Diego which I loved and haven’t seen in a long time. I would definitely return here, maybe even before my trip ends.

  • 4/5 K P. 2 years ago on Google
    Pub food in a casual atmosphere. Great burgers with many options for toppings outside the norm . We also had the poutine fries with pulled pork, which were very good. I only wish they were available after a night of adult beverages and dancing

  • 5/5 jalghtyr 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely a hidden gem. Best burgers on the island that I have had. Relaxed pub atmosphere. We were a family of 7 and all were in agreement on how good the food was.. Reasonably priced, friendly service, felt right at home. Excellent drinks as well. I will definitely return on my next visit.

    Great time and great food at Alfie’s tonight! Can’t wait to go back next week!

  • 5/5 Christopher C. 2 years ago on Google
    A Canadian restaurant in Aruba. What more do I need to say. If maple syrup runs in your veins you definitely need to visit Alfie’s for Canadian delicacies. Start off with a Cesar (the drink not the salad) followed by the best burger and some poutine. That’s right my fellow moose riding lumberjacks, I said POUTINE!!!

  • 5/5 Letitia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice Canadian eat out👌🏽Love the hamburger, vegan wrap and poutine fries 😋

  • 5/5 Frangeline R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amal and team are the best. Service is always good, food is absolutely awesome. Atmosphere is good as always. I recommend to test their poutine's (my favorite the Vite vite) and wings and burgers hmmmm. And of course all the awesome beers they have to offer!!!

  • 5/5 Erica L. 1 year ago on Google
    The most amazing burger I've ever had! I ordered The Lionel and was BLOWN away! Also the Viet Viet Poutine was mind blowing! Burst of flavor in every bite! The owner was so unbelievably personable and truly invested in our experience. I can't wait to go back to try everything on the menu!!

  • 5/5 Graham P. 1 year ago on Google
    Total MUST GO in Aruba. A bit off the tourist path, which is great, but the culinary gods didn't skip this spot. Simple menu of burgers, wings, poutine, and daily specials of Nashville Hot Chicken and Ribs. Amazing beer selection too.

  • 5/5 T. Anthony P. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent food! We particularly enjoyed the Wings and Poutine! The owners are also very nice! Came by our table to ensure we had a good time. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Karolina J. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing find in Aruba! We had a great time and incredible food (Mac and cheese and a chicken sandwich), paired with a tasty IPA from California. This was such a chill place and we were very sad we discovered it too late during our trip! Highly recommended, the staff is super nice :)

  • 4/5 Rob S. 8 months ago on Google
    The wings were really good. Especially the lemon pepper ones. The burgers were well done, as in cooked how I asked. The only part I was not fond of was the price tag. 28 bucks for burger is...extreme. However, the atmosphere and entertainment we worth it. Just know that it's going to be expensive - and be ok with it. AMAZINGLY relaxing evening of live music, good food and a rum punch that can hang with the b st of them.

  • 3/5 Eugenny D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing huge portions and taste amazing. The service could be improved I was basically getting kicked out because I didn’t have a reservation despite their being open tables. I respect that you have to honor reservations but there’s better ways to communicate that instead of kicking people out. I walked in and sat down without being acknowledged by anyone for 10 minutes. Despite the inconvenience a couple leaving gave me their table and I got to sit down and enjoy the food. It causes chaos behind the scenes? The whole spot was empty and tables were available after an hour. You would like a script just goes to show common hospitality must be rocket science to some people. Don’t gas light the situation saying it causes chaos when tables were steadily available afterwards 😉. A simple tip don’t kick people out instead offer reservations a 15 minute grace period you can serve more people like that. Lol good doe ya stay up.

  • 5/5 Meg A. 4 months ago on Google
    As a Canadian visiting Alfie's all I can say is that it felt like home. We saw that it was owned by a Canadian and that they had a mean burger so naturally, we were intrigued. We walked in shortly after opening to an almost empty pub and were asked if we had a reservation. I was certain this was a joke as I looked around the empty place. They told us that the tables were to be filled shortly with reservations but that we could sit at the bar. We aren't really bar people but we really wanted to give it a try so we sat at the bar. We're so glad we did! The bartender? The most charismatic, charming and fun guy that really set the vibe. The owner came over and chit chatted with us a bit about where we were from. Within 20 minutes after arriving the place was packed and they were turning away walk ins. Burgers were amazing and we even had REAL CANADIAN CAESARS... with actual Clamato... Not 'Bloody Mary's'. But what was the most exceptional about this place was 100‰ the atmosphere. Small, intimate and friendly is the best way to describe it. If we didn't need to drive back to our loft we would have stayed there drinking just to continue enjoying the atmosphere and the awesome bartender. So glad we sat at the bar and so happy we tried this Canadian pub in Aruba. What a fantastic little find - just make a reservation so you don't miss out!

    The BEST burgers! I wish they were open 24/7! The Le Twist is like the crabby patty secret formula! AMAZING!🤤 Their sweet potato fries are on point! Not many places have sweet potato fries so this is the go-to place! Affordable and the BEST food! The employees are all very outgoing and make you feel at home! I wish they had an Alfie's in the US! I would rate a 20/10 if I could! Thank you for the food!!!

    I love the chicken tenders with honey mustard. I can tell it is homemade. Also, the beach wings are very good. I recommend the beach wings. Also the pork-out poutine is very good. Apart that, this place is really good. I highly recommend it.
