Bingo is an authentic Dutch bar with a fabulous ambiance. But besides the bar, Bingo has a huge terrace where excellent food is served against very modest prices. We have a very good and creative team in the lead of chef Ton van de Mark. He brings the best above in food by being innovative and renewing with the menu and the specials day by day.

Finally tried Bingo! for the first time last week and are kicking ourselves for not going years ago. Very good food at a decent price. Staff was friendly and attentive. Recommended it to 2 sets of friends who both went the next night and loved it. Will be back next year!

Bingo's food and service never disappoints. Had the salad with goat cheese and tuna tataki - tuna was nice and tender. Friends had several other dishes as well and all were fresh tasting and a very good value for your money. Service is always top-notch here as well.

Fri 09/23 - Bingo’s (Lunch)
After checking out of Costa Linda we decided to have lunch at Bingo’s before we headed for the airport. It started pouring as we were driving to Bingo’s – only significant rainfall on this trip. DW and I both had the salad of the sea – small one for DW and a large one for me. Drinks, wine, food, and service were excellent.

This is one of our favorite casual restaurants in Aruba and we always go here several times. The food is great and not expensive - and you can get anything from a light meal (soup and salad) to a large entree - whatever fits your mood and your budget - and...it's all good!! Service has always been great as well. Couple of my favorites here are the goat cheese salad and French onion soup. Their chocolate mousse is also not to be missed and should be shared (it's huge!)

Niet alleen voor diner super gerechten maar ook voor lunch een super adres. Vriendelijke bediening, super salades en heerlijke broodjes.
Kortom, ben je op Aruba ga zeker een keertje naar Bingo eten of een biertje drinken.

Every year we eat at Bingo's and every year the disclaimer "we take time to prepare your meal so please be patient" (or some such) becomes more annoying. It's not just the meal that took long this time (and last year, but I was too lazy to write a review), but also the general service. It was not at all busy, when we were there, yet we had to wait for drinks and other requests as there was noone in sight to ask for refills and such. Yes, the Dutch way too (I'm originally from the Netherland), but not something to be repeated in Aruba. Not sure if Bingo's will be on our "must go" list next time, like it has been the past few years.

A huge disappointment. The place was dirty and needed a good cleaning.
They were not busy at all but yet service was extremely slow. Waitress couldn't understand us, nor us her.
Burgers were nothing special.
Music way to loud.
Won't be returning.

Went to Bingo's again on our recent visit to Aruba. We always each have our own order of shrimp escargot, just love it and too good to share. If you love shrimp, garlic and melted cheese you will love this appetizer. Next I had the grouper with lobster sauce. Don't know why I never had this before but loved it. My husband had one of the great steaks and really enjoyed it. To end the meal we both had the creme brulee because I again will not share this great dessert. Enjoy the heineken on tap. We never miss Bindo's when in Aruba and if you have never tried it believe me you will like it. Gail

Nice local place - No frills but good food and portions. Service is very nice. The bar is air conditioned but very smokey. Outside it can be hot and smokers a nuisance, at least for these diners. Salads and desserts are good here. Many people order the kabobs for the good value.

Since we had time to kill between checking out of Costa Linda & checking in at the Divi Golf we had lunch
at Bingo’s. We had a couple of rounds drinks since it was raining pretty hard (had to change tables twice since the rain was hitting our tables) and the road in front of Bingos was flooded – guess about 8 inches – noticed some cars were driving up on the sidewalk. DW & I both had the salad of the sea (with pieces of grouper and shrimps). DD had the chicken sate. We all liked the food and service was good. Their featured wine was Hob Nob (never heard of it), which was very good. When we we’re getting ready to leave road was still flooded, but noticed that it wasn’t as bad just past the Valero station – so, we drove through the gas station and the next strip mall and were able to avoid driving through the flooded road.

Always a great place for really good food in a casual atmosphere. We were dining late after a long day so we had the French onion soup (which was served in a huge bowl),Caesar Salad with chicken, and the tuna tataki. All were great and some of the best tuna tataki I've ever had.

This restaurant is slightly off the path but, worth the trip. The setting was pleasantly nice and the food was great. The service started out good but, got a little slow as the restaurant filled up. Creative menu and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend that you try this place!

Always one of our favorite casual Dutch-style pubs/restaurants. Had dinner here twice (love the seafood salad and the onion soup) and also had a great lunch here as well - huge sandwiches and salads. Also a great place to just stop in for a few drinks at night. See you guys next year!

Place was fairly crowded. DW had a margarita & I had a vodka martini – drinks were very good. DW had the garlic shrimp dish that came with spaghetti & veggies & I had the mixed grill. We had wine with the dinners. DW like her dish. I ordered my mixed grill & it came very rare. Not much meat on the 2 rib lamb chops; filet mignon & rib-eye steak were OK – nothing special. I think next time I’ll have to stick with the salad of the sea. Memo to all the folks that rave about the Bingo Burger – it’s about half the size of the one shown in the video San Nic 44 posted – that’s the way it was a few years back – it’s not a “major” burger anymore – just your very average burger with an egg thrown in. To me, the Bingo burger is now a major disappointment & I don’t order the it anymore. Cost with tip = 88.05

We ate at Bingo's twice during our recent visit and both times had a very nice meal in a casual friendly environment. We also sat at the bar for some drinks and had a great time talking with the many locals that frequent Bingo's. We highly recommend it for a very enjoyable evening.

Thurs – 06/25 – Bingo’s
Wife had large salad of sea for her main course. I had the small salad of sea as an appetizer and the Filet Mignon. The Broccoli in my dish was a little old and Filet Mignon was tasty, but on the tough side – have never had Filet Mignon that was tough – very strange. But, we like going to Bingo’s every visit and we’ll probably go back in Sept – won’t order that dish again.

Wife had Salad of the Sea, daughter had Grouper, & I had Bingo burger w/o the egg. Drinks were excellent and wine was good. After dinner we had Espresso, daughter had miniature dutch pancakes. Only disappointment was with my burger. First 2 years we went to Bingo’s, the burger was great – nice, thick, & juicy. Last few years the burger has been just average. We’ll go back to Bingo’s, but I won’t order the burger.

We had the BEST grouper special with a sun-dried tomato sauce! It was so good that we were afraid to have grouper anywhere else because we were afraid it wouldn't be as good. This place will always be one of our favorites - casual, good food (whether you just want a hamburger or an entree), moderate prices - and great owners! Hope they put the grouper special on the regular menu!

Our friends raved about Bingo but we were only slightly satisfied. The staff was excellent but the noise level prevented them from hearing some of our requests. My wife and one other had the steak and it was chewy. They replaced it willingly with the same resulton the replacement. We may try it again but with all the other great restuarants it will be tough to go back

We ate here about 4 years ago and had a bad fish meal, so took it off our list. We decided to give it another try this year after getting rave reviews from friends. Forget it!! It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to receive our meal. The steak was tough and over cooked and the baked potato was ice cold. Off the list for sure this time.
