Fermin's B Q - Oranjestad

Today I came to ask for a good steak to eat and my palate was more than satisfied when cutting and biting this steak the predominant taste was accompanied by homemade rice and slightly embellished vegetables with just the right hauch from season on definitiw 100 points and a super I will enjoy this delicate again

First time coming here the white salmon was the best thing on the menu. When I came back the second time was hoping to get the white salmon but it wasn't on the menu. The owner needs to bring back that entree

I was really psyched to stumble on a legit local eatery AND beyond the outside seats, was an air conditioning room! I ordered ribs and even though I really liked the sauces, potato salad and baked beans... my ribs were dry rubbed, which would have been fine, BUT , they were so dry! What a shame. Maybe they were supposed to be dry.but I doubt it, they were baby back.

If you love BBQ, you’ll love the smokey flavors of Fermin’s open air restaraunt. For a nice price you can feast on large mixed BBQ platters and enjoy various homemade sauces. Order a bucket of beer and try the ceviche appetizer. Most of the seats are stools and the tables are bar height, just keep that in mind if you have small children. #aruba #livelikealocal #arubarentals #bbqlife

I'm not writing a review that often. However, this time I feel obliged to do so. First off something positive, the waitresses were friendly and the starters were okay. Second, this was by far the worst food experience ever. My family from Aruba and parents went here two years ago. At that time the food was good. At 20.00h we arrived at the restaurant and sat down at a table. Only a few more tables were seated. It took more then an hour for the waitress to make time for us and take orders for drinks. The first waitress could not speak English, another did. No problem whatsoever. After we ordered drinks it took another half our to get the first few drinks for the group. After ordering again, we received the other half of the drinks half an hour later. So that makes a total of 1 hour, only for drinks. We ordered the local cocktails from the chalkboard. They were really not pleasurable to drink and were poured in glasses with salt on the edges of the glass. To summarize the food experience. I ordered the 22oz (0.6kg) T-bone steak medium rare. After yet another long wait, received a well done steak which looks also questionable to be a T-bone and for sure under weight (see picture). Returned the steak and after a while the English speaking waitress came back to say there are no more T-bone steaks. After going through the menu for another steak it happend that all steaks were unavailable except the regular beef steak. In answer to this, they gave me the regular cut steak in smaller portion for the same high price as the T-bone steak of 60 dollars. The mixed platter two persons in our company ordered was really dry and burned (see picture). At night, the ambiance is also not comfortable to eat due to the fact there is a club inside the building with really loud music. However, it is also a sports bar so loud music can happen. But if we would get our drinks and food more early we would not sit there eating while the club opened up. After discussing to get some sort of a discount because half of the people did not eat their plate the manager said it was not possible. In conclusion, bad.
