We heard great things about The Lazy Turtle and their unique menu. The staff were friendly and waited on us immediately. The turtle bread and the bruccetta were delicious appetizers. They were wonderful to our family when a family member unfortunately passed out from dehydration at the restaurant. They were all so helpful. We had a nice meal otherwise and I would recommend a visit to The Lazy Turtle.

The service was attentive and the african smoked fish was especially delicious. It is in an open-air strip mall where it is not the best for ambiance but we would definitely visit again for the excellent standard of food and service.

The Lazy Turtle was fantastic and Sam, our server, was amazing. The food was delicious from the first appetizers straight through the main course. We're only in a Aruba for a week but will ABSOLUTELY be back for a second meal before we leave!

Great food. Drinks were not great…I ordered a peach drink that was green and was told that’s the way it was supposed to be. The drink was bitter and unpleasant. Another alcoholic drink in our party also tasted unpleasant. But otherwise everything was great.

We loved our server and the location. The food was solid - we enjoyed our cheeseburgers. Our only complaint is that the food took a while to get to the table and we had hungry kids.

We had dinner here two nights in a row. Chili shrimp pasta and mushroom pasta we had on 1st night was excellent. 2nd night we both had burgers, very good. Ceased salads both nights was excellent. Margaritas I had 1st night were ok. Servers were very attentive, but multiple people would stop by to ask same questions. We will stop in again next year

We were a party of 6 and all had a subpar meal - tough steak and red snapper; pan thai noodles were just ok. Overall, was definitely disappointed and would not return.

We went as a group of four. Service was slow because they didn’t have a lot of staff. No problem. One of us ordered a rib eye and after leaving to put the order in the waiter came back to say they had no rib eye. The order was switched to a filet but what came out was more like pot roast, definitely not a filet. The other food was ok but not excellent. The value wasn’t great for the quality .
