    We celebrated our anniversary last night at the beach house. The view was incredible. Pablo and Gina took care of us for the evening. Definitely going back to eat breakfast as the food was very good. The cheesecake and Kahlua coffee very very 👍

    Good meal, great atmosphere overlooking the ocean. We had a couple of drinks during happy hour and then when right onto dinner. Had the tuna as an appetizer. Entrees were the grouper and chicken cordon bleu. Dessert was cheesecake. Good service as well. Only knock was the flies that bombarded us when our meal arrived. Pablo was our server and made sure we were taken care of.

    I decided to go with visiting friends from Holland to have some breakfast close to the beach. I like Matthew's because the view is awesome, the food is great and lots and they have plenty of choices. Tips, if you are planning to go with a large group I will recommend to make reservations. Most of the time they are very busy. Was a great morning, good food, good service and great company!

    Hey All, Even though I gave it 5 Stars, it's a soft 5 stars, for the simple reason it took a while for us to get our meal. We were a party of 13!!! But once we received our food it was delicious. The staff were very Polite. And we had room to eat and never felt cramped. Decor was great with mini lighting everywhere. Sit down and order up. Enjoy..... PS .the rib eye was great.

    Great food and reasonably priced. Great service. On Wednesday they put on a Carnival dance show, which was outstanding.

    We dined her multiple times over the years. Even had our wedding rehearsal dinner here where we rented the entire restaurant out. Great food and amazing service. Very kind people and good view of the sunset. Will visit again.

    Great place for a good meal right on the beach. Friendly staff and the food was delicious.

  • 5/5 Alex B. 3 months ago on Google • 281 reviews New
    It’s my favorite place for breakfast! The options are plenty and the price is good. The location is wonderful in the sense that you can get there via the beach easily and have an ocean view or if you come specifically for the food you gotta cross the parking lot, front lobby and pool area first. I love how it puts you in a holiday mood. The best part of this place is how tame the wild birds are, who are cheeky enough to try and steal food off your plate or eat right out of your hands! Only downside is the bathroom are severely outdated and rusty.

    The service is really very nice. The food is great, the drinks are refreshing and they have good coffee.

  • 3/5 MrM 6 months ago on Google • 147 reviews
    The portions weren't generous, and the menu prices are in USD, which is annoying for a restaurant operating outside of the US. The waitress was nice but overall the service didn't meet our expectations. The view is nice.

  • 3/5 Les E. 3 months ago on Google • 114 reviews New
    Started out with some great spicy shrimp. If I could have a plate of just that it would have been awesome. I ordered the daily special. All you could eat BBQ ribs. They were just bad. I have had bbq in multiple states. From Maine, and Washington to Florida. These were at the bottom. My wife had a salad topped with grilled chicken and she seemed fine with that. Since it is close to many resorts it was full of loud noise tourist, which also didn't make the experience great.

    Hesperia attractive atmosphere, right on the beach, and the stables were all spacious with a more elegant appeal. A little disappointed in the blandness of the corvino, but overall, not bland tasting either.

  • 5/5 Deano W. 5 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    THE REVIEWS DONT DISAPPOINT! FOOD , SERVICE , LOCATION WAS GREAT . THIS IS A PLACE TO HAVE BREAKFAST WHEN YOU VISIT ARUBA . WE HAD ALL INCLUSIVE BUT YOU GET TIRED OF THE SAME THING AFTER THE 3 RD DAY , IF YOU STAY IN YOUR HOTEL YOU WONT GET TO KNOW THIS BEAUTIFUL ISLAND 🏝. GET ON OUT AND EXPLORE. VARIETY OF FOOD ALL OVER THE ISLAND 🏝YOU WONT REGRET IT

  • 2/5 Larisa H. 5 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Gorgeous view! Atmosphere otherwise was calm but a little odd; hardly anyone was there eating. The tables and settings were nice though. Waiters were very kind. Food seemed to have all just been frozen and warmed up. Very bland and nothing special. Also pretty expensive. I wouldn’t recommend for the food, but if you’re mostly wanting a great place to watch the sunset it may be what you’re looking for.

  • 5/5 Meli M. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast, super nice staff, great service and an incredible view! Will be coming back for sure!

  • 3/5 SHELLI W. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros beautiful area looking at the beach. Food was just ok. Fish was bland. Not many people and waiter forgot extra sauce. Disappointing

  • 5/5 Martin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful view, friendly waiters, and tasty food. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Kristi C. 2 years ago on Google
    1. Do the Romantic Dinner on the beach—-just do it! So good! 2. Ask for Alfredo…he was the best with service! 3. enjoy!

  • 3/5 Christian S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice location but all 3 meals had too muvh salt

  • 4/5 Lauren D. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing! Only thing is the service is very very slow! We had to go find someone for everything that we needed. That was the only downside.

  • 4/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    Dining and drinks right on the beach. Great place to catch a beautiful sunset while enjoying good food.

  • 5/5 William P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic environment food and people. Stephanie made us an amazing Mango Mojito! We have been coming to Aruba for over 20 years and always make sure we have a few meals here. Right on the beach, great drinks and food served with a smile! Glad to be back!

  • 5/5 Austin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good happy hour, light lunch menu, great location

  • 4/5 Lakeisha F. 2 years ago on Google
    The French toast is so good. And you can get smoked salmon in your omelet. Great view of beach.

  • 5/5 Edward T. 4 years ago on Google
    Romantic place !

  • 4/5 M G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food gets 5 stars. We had a bunch of appetizers & everything was delicious. Do yourself a favor & get the spicy shrimp & escargot. Sooo good. Giving it 4 stars because the rain was pouring onto everyone at the tables because there were huge spaces in the canopy. And the server had to be reminded about our drinks a couple times.

  • 5/5 Evan K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are on your honeymoon, this experience is a must. Incredible view, amazing atmosphere and awesome people. Everyone at Matthew’s went above and beyond to make our experience special. And the food was incredible.

  • 5/5 Nicole W. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate at Matthew's for our 40th birthday dinner. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Thanks for the birthday song as well! Had a great time and will definitely visit again when in Aruba.

  • 3/5 Glenn H. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is what makes this place, its food is good, but not really amazing. You’ll have to walk through the Casa del Mar to get to it. I kept thinking if Barb and Star went to Aruba, they’d stay here.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    We love Mathew’s. Best happy hour and best escargot 🐌 first time trying it and loved it. Best team and management. Sting drinks also and it’s next to the prettiest beach on the island. We cane here almost every day for 2 weeks.

  • 5/5 Tosh T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food -> RIGHT ON THE BEACH. After ordering, I took off my shoes and walked down to the ocean (can't do this at very many places in the world!). Food was top notch and sooooo good!

  • 4/5 Monika T. 1 year ago on Google
    The views are stunning. We went for breakfast and I had ordered French toast which was not up to the mark . The waffle was yummy .

  • 3/5 Andy A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is ok - great for views and socializing. A bit on the pricey side for what you get. A nice experience I guess but nothing wowed me

  • 5/5 Lisa W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had breakfast here January 2023 and had a wonderful experience.Our server Janathan was friendly and attentive. The view by the beach was great. My husband and I both had pancakes. While his were plain I had the apple cinnamon and they tasted yummy! We also ordered some home fries and they were very tasty . I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and we will visit again when we are back in Aruba.

    I've liked every dish I've gotten so far. Beef tip pasta, escargot, tuna tataki, surf &turf... waffle blt and the other breakfast options were all fantastic too. Beware the black birds though, they'll steal food right off your plate if you let them- hense the 3* atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Kell J. 8 months ago on Google
    Right by the ocean, beautiful views, friendly but not pushy wait staff. The food was delicious!!! Happy hour is a good deal too. Must try the Tuna Salad!!

  • 5/5 Chris P. 1 year ago on Google
    Tuesday night is all you can eat ribs!!! I was skeptical being on an island, but boy was I wrong!! Excellent!! Service was awesome as well!! One of their happy hours is 4pm-6pm!! Sunset can't be beat too!!!

  • 2/5 Rich P. 6 months ago on Google
    Lunch was reasonably priced although it great.. seafood soup SUPER salty..fish tacos mediocre at best.. Cuban came out so burnt you couldn’t bite it without hurting the roof of your mouth.. service was slow and not overly friendly. Waitress was accommodating by not charging for the Cuban after we stated it was burnt. The beers were half size and $6…I don’t know.. hate leaving negative comments though I believe we were mislead by all the 4/5 star reviews. The view was lovely I will definitely agree to that.

  • 3/5 Annie F. 5 months ago on Google
    We haven't been here in about 10 years but it doesn't look like much has changed. The decor and set up is exactly the same. Steaks were great, but the rest of the meal (vegetables and mashed potatoes) were cheap catering quality. We got calamari as an appetizer, and they were clearly frozen and mass produced. Service was very slow despite there being a very light crowd in the restaurant. The beachfront setting was the best part of the experience, however, there are people on the beach all around you so it's a little awkward. We'll try a different steak place next time.

    This place is right on the beach and food and service was very good twice we have been there. Order grouper! Staff is quite friendly. Marcos was very attentive and nice!

  • 5/5 Kate S. 3 years ago on Google
    We love this place! Came here two years ago and after a fantastic experience, had to return. Great ambiance and right on the beach. We had a celebration and they arranged a bottle of champagne to be delivered (at our expense, of course). Marcos was top notch—his liquor recommendations were totally worth it. I had the grouper and loved it. Do yourself a favor and come to Matthew’s!

  • 3/5 Colleen S. 3 years ago on Google
    Our waiter Marcos was very attentive and offered Suggestions from the menu. We also found the girl (didn’t get her name)working with him very pleasant and helpful. Convenient location to our hotel and right on the beautiful beach. Delicious espresso martinis!

    Beautiful views and delicious food! Staff is always so friendly and helpful! Marcos even took our picture with the sunset on the beach!

  • 3/5 Cara C. 3 years ago on Google
    We went for Super Bowl 2020. Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. Mediocre food. Felt that it was overpriced in general and maybe they were short staffed for this busy day... We barely got any service once the crowds rolled in. Our young waiter looked lost. He would walk past us and wait on others once it got busy

  • 5/5 Linda F. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this restaurant. Great food great staff and it's in ARUBA

  • 3/5 Scott B. 3 years ago on Google
    We always stop at Matthew's a few time each time we visit Aruba and the service and food is outstanding. Sadly on New Years day service was horrible and very inconsistent with how the service normally is.

  • 5/5 Marianne W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good service, friendly and the food is good.

  • 5/5 Carol A. 3 years ago on Google
    Love dining at Matthew's every year when I come to Aruba. One of my favorites ❤

  • 5/5 Robin B. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great beach bar in Eagle beach. They have a daily happy hour; 2 for 1 drinks. It's located at one of the older timeshare resorts, so many of the patrons are guests at the resort. But it's a great location with a fabulous beach right outside. The grouper sandwich is awesome, I've ordered it several times and it doesn't disappoint!

  • 5/5 Karla B. 3 years ago on Google
    The view is spectacular and the food was delicious. We'll be back soon. Come for the sunset and stay for the food.

  • 5/5 David B. 3 years ago on Google
    Franklin and Maika were very attentive and cheerful. We really enjoy the service here!

  • 4/5 Da Sel C. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was okay and the house wine was not great, but the ambience and outdoor space felt safe and festive.

  • 1/5 Dolores C. 3 years ago on Google
    We’ve been coming to Aruba for years and never tried Matthew’s so last night we we with our grandchildren, ranging in age from 7 to 22. The service was fine. They brought out fresh bread which was great, but the butter was rancid. We had to ask for fresh butter. My granddaughter ordered a slushee which was just soda with coloring & lots of ice. I ordered the crab cake appetizer which was terrible. Dry, mostly bread, & salty. 2 of my other granddaughters & I ordered the Matthew’s salad which came with apples, walnuts & chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and the walnuts were stale. Our 2 youngest wanted their dessert called “worms in dirt” and they didn’t have it. My husband told the manager, who was very polite, apologized & said he would check on things. When the bill came, not one item was taken off the bill. In all my years coming to Aruba, I never had a bad meal until this one. The one star is for the lovely ocean view.

  • 5/5 Aaron D. 3 years ago on Google
    Had an amazing time, really friendly staff and an amazing ambiance. Bhing made the best Moscow mules I've had on the island 😍 I would also recommend the fried platter, it's perfect for snacking.

  • 5/5 Tanner J. 3 years ago on Google

    Not a bad little beach bar. Was in there for happy hour while karaoke was on so was fun.

  • 3/5 Jacqualyn I. 4 years ago on Google
    I Think their food quality has gone down been coming to Mathews all the time and I am not impressed anymore, yes the view is beautiful, But the food needs more TLC
