I think the staff and management rely on the beautiful view and great location, putting minimal effort into the actual food and service. The Vegetable Curry had literally 1 mushroom, 4 thin green beans, and three small bites of potato in it. When it arrived at our table I told the waiter that I wasn’t happy, that it didn’t have enough vegetables, and that I didn’t want it. He said “that’s the way it always is here” and walked away. The pulled pork sandwich was also less than satisfactory. I’ve had the burgers and mixed grill here in the past and they were good. If you keep it simple, enjoy the view, and don’t mind being ignored by the waitstaff you’ll be fine!

Been going there for most of our meals in the beginning of January 2026 when staying at Buddy Dive Resort, my family and I. Very delicious food, can be nutritious and/or comforting depending on your choices, sizes of different meals vary so there’s absolutely something for everyone ! Their theme nights are well done : taco night is a must, the pizzas were great and so were the ribs, though everything was scrumptious. On the regular menu, the poké bowl and the ciabatta carpaccio were my favorites. Their cocktails are also very nice, they offer a nice variety, not just tropical cocktails which is enjoyable when you want a switch-up !Shoutout to the crew as well they were all exceptionally nice and caring to our needs !

Great restaurant and really friendly and helpful staff, especially Nicky and Marlene who looked after us and gave us plenty of local information.We only ate the Bitterballen and they were fabulous, hot, crunchy on the outside and beautifully soft on the inside. We could have been back in Holland.

Decent food especially if you're staying at the resort. Great views on the water. Portions were generous and usually had leftovers with lunch.

Got take out for lunch once, and ate lunch at a table a second time. Food was good and came out fast, but we were here in the off season so can’t say what the food and service are like when they’re busier. Great for hanging out during a surface interval if you’re diving with Buddy Dive!

Cosy restaurant by the beach.Visited for the unlimited spare ribs.- Great location- Lots of different theme nights- Seating is partially in the sand- Easy and free parking nearby- Unfortunately had to wait 30 mins for spare rib refill.Recommend a visit!

The food here is not very good. Seems warmed over or overcooked. On the other hand, it’s very expensive! Dinner specials are close to $50 USD and pony beers are around $4.The location and atmosphere are nice but you will break the bank here for underwhelming food. There are better, less expensive places within walking distance.

I came here several times during my holiday on Bonaire. The mixed grill was okay. I didn't like the pulled pork burger at all but the fries were good, and the bbq buffet was okay (nice salmon and beef). VERY kind service every single time and during the bbq night there was a musician playing live music, people dancing etc which was fun. Their cocktails are good too.

Really slow service on 3 separate visits considering that it wasn't busy and they had several servers. They work as a group of 4-5, but usually only 1-2 of them tend to be actively waiting tables or doing anything. Food was mostly good, especially the steak sandwich and panini. The burger was awful. Catch of the day Mahi was good, but a really small portion. Great view and open air seating was a plus. It's worth a visit.

We have been there twice now. The second time for the all you can eat spareribs. The ribs where very good but we had to wait 45 minutes between orders which made us less hungry. Pity, it looks like they do this on purpose so you don't eat as much. So if you go here to eat all in don't forget this because it's even possible that you can't eat what you order because it takes to long. For the rest it's quite a good restaurant and the food is very good. One other thing...... I ordered a rare steak and it wasnt rare, it wasn't even medium. So if you want a medium rare order rare. I also advise that if you make a reservation that you ask to be seated by the water. It's alot cooler than inside. Have a great meal guys and gals.

Food was good and staff friendly location wins!Its all about presentation, if that was good.. food would get an extra point... sashimi bar looked like it was the dishwasher corner and taco bar looked great but everything was in pots and pans...nothing prepared fresh...it s fine to have mise en place ...but do the tuna shrimps beef chicken etc on the grill..loose the ticket system. Great icecream toppingsbar...girls loved it.

Every friday its BBQ Buffet night. Great price and lots of choices of meat, salad, sauces and dessert.One tip ask the person on the meat and salmon carving station to cook your meat a bit more on the grill to your taste because they cut and serve them nearly raw so pay attention to that.Sat in the sand with view to the sea and the night sky, chill music in the background and nice cocktail. Had a great night with my friends.

Food is mediocre. We went on pizza night and pizza would’ve been good but we made the mistake of ordering anchovies pizza, so so salty! Fish sandwich was just meh. Nice view, nice staff, they work hard to provide good service but food could use some work 🙁

Good restaurant, not sophisticated, but honest food for honest prices. Lots of maincourses are $18,50 or below. Very nice crew and nice atmosphere. Sitting outside with your feet in the sand, next to the sea or inside. The chicken satay is good, as is the mixed grill. The beef was nice and juicy and the spareribs as well.

Blennies is at Buddy Dives. The food was very good. I had the ribs. There are several prep styles offered, I had BBQ. The were moist and had great flavor. And they were served hot. The wait staff was genuine and friendly. The cocktails were on point, not too strong and not weak. Our table was ocean front and the view was amazing.

This was our least favorite food of the week and the worst service. My son and I had their pulled pork sandwich and my husband had a burger, which he described as more meatloaf like. My daughter's meal was average. Their drink specials were well priced.

Located on the Buddy Dive Resort with a beautiful view over klein Bonaire.We often go here for a small bite to eat late afternoon. Food is good and staff is very friendly. Cocktails tend to vary in quality so enjoy a small russian roulette.They have a small pool and some playground equipment for the kids so you can enjoy your food and drinks while going down the slide.

Friday night BBQ buffet is very good for the price. Need salt and sauces to help up taste some dishes. But you can do that to your taste then. Service a little slow but worth the views. Lunch burger ok but has to be cooked medium.

Staying at Dive Buddies, I had easy access to Blennies each day.I had a couple lunches and dinners at Blennies and the food was decent, no real complaints. Lots of fish, though also sandwiches and burgers. All dining is done under a covered patio.My favorite was the fresh iced tea. Like a lightly sweet, iced green tea, very tasty.
