Amazing view of Palm Beach. We got breakfast here, cappuccino was good but the omelette was very bland. Egg and cheese in a bagel also lacked any seasoning. The location of this place is amazing, after some beach fun, you can come to this place within a few steps and get a cold beer or drink to chill. My wife loved her Mai Tai

Such a wonderful place with a great atmosphere, delicious food, and amazing people. We enjoyed every second of being there. A perfect spot to watch the sunset while listening to great music.

We loved the Bugaloe so much we dined here three times. The live entertainment at night was a treat and so fun! Great food and well-priced, especially for the location right on the water. Be prepared to wait for a table (no hostess, but the staff will find you a spot if they see you waiting for a table to open up). The wait is worth it for the views, food/drinks, and very friendly service. The grouper platter was delicious- fresh and the curry sauce on the side was fantastic. The bbq chicken tacos were good, though the sauce sweeter than I normally like. The seafood platter was so much food and also very fresh and flavorful. Such a fun place!

We chose this place as our last breakfast location on our Aruba Vacation. From the views to the food definitely highly recommend. I had the ham and cheese with waffles which was cheesy and goodie good. Great spot for a morning sunrise as well.
