Fish and burgers are over cooked, fish over seasoned. People next to me sent food back and still got over cooked meals. Will never go back and live only a mile away. Went to check out for grandkids who will be visiting. I wouldn't take anyone here!

Awful food - dry, bland and not served very hot. The worst mai tai I've ever tasted. This was our worst meal on Kauai. There is SO much choice of great food on this island there really isn't any reason to eat here. OK it might be a little cheaper than some of the other local eateries but you'd be... More

I had the teriyaki burger which was wonderful! I can’t remember what my wife and friends had (must have been too busy enjoying my own burger) but we all enjoyed our lunch. The location was nice with a little breeze to keep it comfortable and shaded. It was a perfect way to finish our day at the beach. The staff... More

The food was nasty and overpriced. They served instant mashed potatoes and frozen vegetables. Nothing fresh at this place. Service was very slow.

It was close to our timeshare and the menu looked good. What a mistake!!! My meal: I chose to order the chili-burger. The waiter asked how I liked it and I replied medium-rare. He warned me that it might be a little bloody and that would have been fine. When it finally came (after a long wait), the burger was... More

We sat outside which was nice, but the service and food arriving was brutally slow - and I don't mean laid back, I mean slow. When it arrived it was good, but unfortunately mine was not very hot. Wouldn't go back.

Even though the price might frighten you at first (for a burger and fries), they were very worth every penny. Best burger I've ever had!

We ate here twice and got the same waiter and table both times, which was great because he provided wonderful service. The first time we all got burgers and they were big and fresh and wonderful. The fries were crispy, hot, and tasty. The second time, I got the mahi and it was not very good. I could have opened... More

Stopped in for lunch. Service was average, but the food was a bit slow showing up. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and my wife had a chicken rice bowl. Both were good. We sat on on the outside and watched chickens. Seemed like a reasonable but basic place for lunch.

Things are slow here. It's the only place we truly had the Hawaiian style service I read so much about. It wasn't horrible, just slow. Orders were taken, drinks eventually came, food came out hot surprisingly, check was paid. Burgers were ordered well done and that's how they came. Didn't like the meat itself but the guava BBQ sauce and... More
