Just imagine fresh fish caught that morning from the sparkling clear waters off the Aruban coast. Add to that imported Argentine meats, hand selected by the chef. Mix delicately with the herbs, spices and traditional ingredients of the Caribbean and finally combine it all with the knowledge and skill of a European trained chef.

Least favorite of 14 nights

Not our first time but probably our last. It was noisy and tight the last time we ate at WW last September. Portions are large but somehow the experience felt like eating at a diner. Only place that gave me agita after 14 nights dining in Aruba.

f you want to go for a romantic date this is not your place. If you want the freshest seafood on the island at easonable prices it is. All the catch of the day items @ our table (4) were fantastic. It's loud noisy and crowded so son;t go without a reservation but the food is worth it./

In a normal world, WACKY WAHOO would be deserving of the very worst criticisms that can be imagined. The Location is very bad; The Service is bad, The Ambiance is non-existent - BUT: THE FOOD IS SO DAMN GOOD (it deserves at least a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10) that it easily and by far is the very best seafood restaurant in Aruba - hands down - nothing even comes close to it. Do not try walking into the place without a reservation - in all likelihood you will be turned away - the place is packed every night and you rub shoulders with your neighbors while eating and wind up yelling over the noise that prevails. BUT it is a wonderful dining experience and, if that is what you are looking for, then this place cannot be beat. Ignore or overlook all of the negatives surrounding this place and go to enjoy the food - that is what it is all about and they make no qualms about it.

We love this restaurant! It is a bit crowded but well worth the wait if you don't have a reservation. The grouper, cervichi, wahoo are all excellent choices! The service is great. We will definitely be back! See you in October!

Great food and very good service. The fish is fresh and very well prepared. But the atmosphere is terrible. The management has added more tables in this very small space. The restaurant is extremely extremely crowded with patrons practically sitting on top of one another . Because there are so many people stuffed in one small room it is also very loud and noisy. The waiter had to shout so that we could here him. Although the food was very good, this was not a relaxing experience.

We ate here last week and it ended up being the best place we went to for fresh and tasty seafood. I started out with a crab and corn chowder and it tasted real good and had plenty of crab. The one negative of this dish is that the crab is served inside the crab claws (they are sliced in half) however 2 of them were not sliced so the meat was impossible to get out. I would hope in the future they would just take the meat out for you as you are not given the proper silverware to dig the meat out. For our main entrees, we had wahoo and grouper. The fish were served grilled with olive oil and a tomato salsa that was amazing. The fish was super moist and it was served with rice and plantains. While seated, we overheard another customer say that it was his 3rd time eating at Wacky's within the last 2 weeks. After finishing our dinner, we totally understood why. A must for visitors to Aruba.

I hate to sound like a broken record like everyone else on this site, but this place is what it is, great food, reasonable price, attentive service and always fresh, tasty food.

However, it is the size of a pizza palor with 15 tables and you need a reservation to get a seat.

If you can spare a night to NOT eat on the beach or feeling like you are in South Beach, this is where you go. And once you go, it will always be on your list, especially if you feel the great food beats good environment.
