Restaurants in Haleiwa

““What an unforgettable evening! From the moment we arrived, the warm aloha spirit was everywhere. The food was plentiful and delicious. The performances were breathtaking—full of energy, history, and storytelling that made us feel connected to Hawaiian culture. Every dancer and musician gave it their all, and the fire show was absolutely spectacular. The staff was kind, welcoming, and made the whole night flow seamlessly. If you’re visiting Oʻahu, this luau is a must-do experience!””

“Two thumbs up, 5 stars. We first visited their restaurant in Kahuku a few months ago. Quality food at either place, a definite local favorite of ours. Can’t go wrong with the shrimp dish’s or any other items on the menu. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We’ll be back, mahalo.”

“JAX is by far the best pizza on all of the islands. The handmade dough and premium toppings in a 600 degree wood fired oven . Come get some its worth the trip!!! Salads and breadsticks all soooooo good”

“Food was amazing! Well worth the drive!!!”

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.”

“So it’s like this… Kua ‘Aina Sandwich Shop has got to be the best burger for the job if you’re hungry amidst shopping for all the great gift ideas!! Bacon burger with all the fixings and also with the green chili Tabasco is mayjah and it scratches the itch every time. Really good as a medium rare burger. So juicy!! One of my favs!! Kudos!!”

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!”

“Great Small local restaurant! Traditional Pizza with great taste and made well. Also their homemade slushes topped with homemade honey are fantastic, especially in the heat. Would definitely go again. Only Outdoor seating.”

“Wow! What a beautiful morning to kayak! Jonathon at Planet Adventure Company was so nice and fun to talk to. The views were amazing during my tour, lots of greenery everywhere and the beautiful blue skies above Rainbow Bridge truly felt like heaven. I highly recommend PAC when visiting the North Shore. It’s inexpensive and no experience necessary, it’s super easy! Jumping off the bridge next. Aloha! Popi 🌺”

Vegetarian options: They also offer vegan alternatives. Predominantly fruits such as lemon, lime, coconut, and others.

Parking: The parking lot is often full, making it difficult to find an available space.

Kid-friendliness: 100% Kid friendly ??

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible available. RAMP”

“am not a fan of nuts but my husband is so we had to stop here. They had MANY samples and I discovered several kinds that I enjoyed. It's a very small shop but you can see Macamia trees, try samples of nuts and coffee, and check out the items in the store. I definitely recommend making a quick stop here.”

“Stopped by real fast for an evening beverage on the way back to town, and their seasonal drink "Organic Fields"- matcha, coconut water and a hint of honey- is really quite tasty! Refreshing, not too sweet, and the matcha and coconut water pair well together :) perfect post-beach trip!”

“Super fast, plenty of seating, the small was huge! And they were very generous with the toppings on the açaí bowl!! High recommend! Can go sit on the beach right Across the street too!”

“This place has great food and cool atmosphere for the perfect winning combination. Stopped in with a few friends visiting Oahu for the first time and what a difference it is getting away from the hustle of Waikiki. Sat and enjoyed some music by LAVA and awesome food. U need to check this place out”

On my food centric visit to Oahu this was a definite highlight and an unexpected bonus of just going to swim at the falls.”

“Everything we tried was delicious! We went to Oahu for a week and ate here multiple times during our stay. Croissant breakfast sandwich with any kind of meat is delicious. Spam fried rice plate is great if you're looking for a big breakfast. The pastries, cinnamon rolls and pies were fantastic! The coconut cake was my favorite though! perfect, light, fluffy cake. I don't even like coconut!”

“Flavors of the bowls and smoothies were perfectly balanced. Service was excellent and she made our bowls very quickly. I was surprised how fast she could make 4 items. The whole environment and kitchen area was a little dingy/dirty and could use a good deep cleaning...but still very tasty. We will be back.”

“This cafe is located across from Matsumoto Shave Ice.
We brew our coffee with beans grown in Hawaii.
The staff had a bad attitude, but there are terrace seats, so it's nice.
If a shave ice person sits down without permission, you will be warned (there is a warning sign)”

“THE best tacos and burritos around, and to add onto that the hot sauce should be world famous. 5 stars!”

“Great food! Great parking and friendly services!”

“Great Mexican restaurant in the North Shore. The staff here are all great and friendly.

Their dragon fruit margarita was tasty and would love to get it again. The fish are freshly caught and are great as tacos.

They started to do Karaoke on Saturday nights after the restaurant closes for the night. Great place to get a drink afterhours.”

“The garlic shrimp is the best comparing to other places on the island. I saw people pilling the shell by hand. Don’t do that! Use your mouth and teeth. The shell is flavorful, and don’t miss that!”

“The food was delicious, plentiful, and well-seasoned. The staff was super cool, attentive, and pleasant. The food truck looked and smelled clean. Bel and Bruno served me 10/10. Thank you. I will definitely be back.”
