Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't have asked for opinions considering there are as many of them as there are grains of sand in Aruba.

How about this.... I'm looking to find a good burger on the island, and I have to admit I'm a bit picky about my burgers.

I really do prefer to eat a hand-formed patty, as opposed to the machine created things you get at McD's and Burger King and such. I've heard the burgers are good at a few places on the island, and if you know of any that aren't machine made, please, let me know.

Danki

I don't think Bingo's is and it is very good - especially with curly fries!

Bingo has a great burger... and my husband has tried many all over the island. JJ Snacks burger is great too!! Those are his top 2 picks!

UTAKA CENTER
it is located near the entrance to the Arikok, near the Arikok visitor ctr.

the burgers there are juicy, flavorful, and the toppings are meals in themselves.
(fried egg and fried onions)

and the pizza is apparently WONDERFUL too.

I love the Bingo burger, too! If I'm in the mood for a burger, that's where I go. Sometimes I get it with the egg and something without...just depends on my mood.

I'm a big fan of Dushi Burgers. Really good Burgers and fires and service is usually solid as well.

Aruba has far to many good dining options to eat at a USA franchise place. But the hi-rise area presence of McD, BK, Hooters, Domino's and the like prove my thinking is far from the norm.

Bingo's is a great burger and thanks to the above rec I can't wait to try JJ's. We personally love mixing in Hot Take Away and JJ's kind of places with our finer dining.

5 GUYS burgers just opened in Aruba and we loved it. It is sort of hidden from the street, unfortunately. 5 Guys is located behind Senior Frogs or beside Papillion Restaurant in the High rise district (across from Radisson Hotel).
