👍👍 I have now been to Aruba three times and this has been my go to place. In my recent visit, over a two week stay, i managed to come three times. Best wings in town. Burger is also delicious. Wide variety of drink options as well. And if you’re feeling for some breakfast, they have that too! Also, hug...

    Great experience. Very helpful staff. We had 2 burgers - both were tasty. I can especially recommend the one called 3 Alarm. A decent portion of french fries served alongside. Iced water served prior to the order, which was a nice thing.

    There's always awesome energy at the Local Store. Awesome food, awesome drinks and a laid back place perfect to sit and relax. Music is at the right volume that you can still converse with each other. Workers are very attentive.

    A local bar with delicious food. All the servers were kind and pleasant. We had fried pickles, hamburgers, and tap beer. It was all excellent.

    This place is the Best. everyone was Fantastic I can't say enough about the people who make up the restaurant. food the wings with boom boom sauce were great and the fried pickles were the best, and cocktails were the bomb they were always checking on us and made sure we were taken care of. Carlos was our server and can not say enough. Thank you for a great experience. Music was the best to listen to.

    Rating is 4 stars because the food that we got was very good. Getting the food was an ordeal that would have rated a minus 1. Half of our party became frustrated and left without being seated. The fact that this a local spot and very tuned to locals may have played a part. As a first timer I asked how seating worked(grab an empty table)We then had to corner staff and request a menu and then do the same for drinks. Then again to place our order. We played two complete games of four hand UNO before we started to give the raised eyebrow to the waiter who said food would be out shortly.....part of the order were appetizers....an hour and a half in total and our food arrived minus 2 items which he said would be right out.....after a half hour he asked if we really wanted the items because he had screwed up and forgot to put order in. One of the items did make it to the bill ....the food we did receive as mentioned was very good. Burgers ,veggie burgers,homemade chips, shrimp were delicious. Waiter said it was his first night however no other staff stepped up to assist. I will probably try it again to see how it goes because the food does deliver. Update 1/21/22 Went back this week to see if last week's experience was normal or a fluke. Got the experience I have read about in other reviews. Sat down,was brought menus and drink orders taken immediately. Appetizers deliver quickly with meal arriving just as apps(fried dill pickles) were finished. Burgers were fantastic as were the homemade chips. Fried shrimp were good size and cooked perfectly. All around deserving of a 4 star rating.

    I went here to have lunch. The service was decent but the food wasn't that great. The burgers were dry and there were a lot of flies while dining. It made the experience not so great. I ordered a margarita and the lemons they used weren't fresh.

    A low-key local joint in Noord, not far from Palm Beach. Cheap booze and drinks accompanied by a cozy atmosphere. Great spot for drinks.

    A chef's kiss to this place! Cool vibes and amazing food. This was our first stop before heading to our vacation rental and it was every thing. My husband had the chicken wrap and I went for the swiss jalapeño burger. Wishing I could have another one right now that's how amazing it was. Definitely stop here because you will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn't because I made one last visit the day before we left the island.

    Only regret is we found them our last night! Tasty food with excellent service. Killer laid back vibe with live reggae suprise - had to stay awhile!

  • 5/5 Maria D. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Always stop at the Local Store at least twice during our trips to Aruba. Consistently good food. Very reasonably priced as well. It’s a fun, festive place to grab a bite. Make sure you try the funchi fries!!

  • 4/5 Jennifer B. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    May have been due to a lack of staff, but service was very slow. Spicy chicken wraps were good, as were the fries. Hamburger a bit dry. If you are looking for wings, wraps and burgers this is what you will get here.

  • 5/5 Randynamic 11 months ago on Google
    Really great place with amazing burgers and breakfast. The fungi is a side dish you can’t miss. Also the service is extremely friendly! A must go!

    They did not have breakfast anymore, but the local store burger with salt & pepper chips was great! Served with a smile 😊 Will definitely come back soon!

    Everything thing is great LOOKING, except the water you're claiming is alcohol. I don't drink much. 1 ipa would ruin me, yet magically I can have 5 shots of tequila and hit the gym, when I go here. The staff is too busy talking or trying to hook up to be bothered serving. Everyone dodges work. I watched one waitress just pretend to be busy

  • 1/5 E M. 5 months ago on Google
    What is with the attitude????? Every single person except for owner explicitly show the attitude. It. Is super expensive as well. The staff only make appearances of getting busy when owner is around. What a shame! The best part is that they expect you to tip them. I have been abused for my own money. I can not believe that the place I have been coming for 3 years became this unwelcoming place with warm flat beer! Come on! Get it together!

  • 5/5 Everett S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great place, had breakfast to have breakfast, friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Diana S. 8 months ago on Google
    Super chill place to relax out of the heat and have a cold beer. The big surprise is that the food is really great! We had the burger which was delicious and allowed us to have the Funchi fries ( fried polenta) with their hot mayo dip as a side. Great lunch spot. Customer service was outstanding.

  • 5/5 Joan W. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing food! We had the funchi fries, boom boom wings, brunch burger, rum shop burger and fries. Every bite was delicious, even the fries were perfect! By far the best meal we’ve had on the island and very fair prices compared to other restaurants. Gregorio was our server and he was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend during your visit in Aruba!

    Great food. Great atmosphere. Great prices. Not too packed. We tried to order delivery, but had issues with calling it in so we decided to go in person which was a great decision! Will return next time we are back on the island.

  • 5/5 Robin L. 2 years ago on Google
    Not crowded. Laid back atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor dining. Burgers were delicious. Berry bowl with granola was soooo good. I recommend the breakfast here as well.

  • 5/5 Larry van den B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went a few times over there, very nice people and great food, the buffalo chicken wings are divine! And they've got lots of special crafted beers and IPA's.

  • 5/5 Joe A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great dive bar with a ton of beer options and the kind of bar food that makes you want to come back over and over again. The owner is very personable and you can see that he is living his dream. Go there, catch the primetime NFL game and relax. You will melt into the Caribbean oasis that you’ve been searching for.

  • 5/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and nice ambience. Draft Balashi as well, so that's really nice. Crispy chicken wrap with Funchi fries with cheese and the double 3- Alarm burger with Fries were both outstanding. We'll definitely be back. Second visit for breakfast was very good. Wife got the breakfast burrito and I got the Chubato Ham and Egg Sandwich and we split a large order of Banana, Blueberry Pancakes. I ordered coffee and the waitress ran next door and got it from Island Grind Coffee, a local Aruban Coffee Roaster. Call-out to the servers. Best service we've had in Aruba. Very attentive, water is always filled and the servers are very polite and ensure you have anything you could possibly want.

  • 5/5 Rayven K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is an absolute gem. It's like a sports bar hangout; it's clean, comfortable, and right in the middle of town. Best place for burgers! The staff are super friendly and helpful. There's no fuss about swapping ingredients due to allergies or diet preferences. What was ordered: 1. Mozzarella cheese quesadilla with shrimp 2. Chubato burger medium cooked with Swiss cheese, bacon, arugula, goat cheese, honey and spinach. Side of sweet potato fries 3. Chubato burger. Side of funchi fries (fried polenta) with gouda cheese Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Definitely a place to return to. 👍👍

    Asked 3 different waiters and waited over 30+ minutes just to get WATER after being seated. Absolutely unacceptable. Food is great, but the service could not be worse.

  • 5/5 Garrett D. 2 years ago on Google
    Derek the bartender is one of the nicest and funniest bartenders I have ever met. He gave great drink and food recommendations. So many options to pick from. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Gloria M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food at a reasonable price. The menu has a good variety. Best burger and salads on the island.

  • 2/5 Rick S. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    The service was probably the worst I’ve ever experienced. Water and drinks came after food was served. Was just one example of many. The food was good but based upon the service I personally would NOT go back. BTW. This is the first restaurant review that I have ever submitted.

👍👍 This is my favorite restaurant in Aruba! The ambiance is literally a dream - I wish I could make my backyard look like this. They have such soothing live music. It truly feels like a treat just to be dining there. The food (of course) is also phenomenal! The almond crusted grouper is mouth watering!...
