This was the best BLT sandwich I have ever tasted. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was spectacular. My kid really liked the 'there is a $5 fine for whining.' This cafe had really good french fries too. I highly recommend this cafe for a lunch stop.Kid-friendliness: There was a kids menu too!

Were baited for the chicken risotto as the reviews mentioned it is good. But looks like it is a special item and they dont sell it everyday.Blacked Mahi was not blackened. It was seared very minimally. But the tartar sauce they gave was nice.Shrimp pasta was great but lots of salt.The food portions are generous and they do take customizations.Ask for recommendations as the staff is nice and go above and beyond to help.Vegetarian options: Pastas and saladsDietary restrictions: Ask for gluten free options and allergies. Menu is mostly seafood.Parking: 4-5 spots to park and eat. May be street parking aroundKid-friendliness: Not sureWheelchair accessibility: Spot is right on the road and has a window to order.

We came for the Lilikoi butter burger. It was delicious. We also enjoyed fried ice cream, cheesy, garlic fries. The lilikoi lemonade can be blended if you ask, and the lilikoi shake was sweet and creamy. The ladies at the counter were nice. We were stuffed and happy when we finished eating at the bench just outside the building. It was a good spot. Also, they gave us a sample of a Japanese donut with lilkoi cre on top-very good-slight sugar crunch on the outside and soft on the inside.

The food was amazing! It is only for To Go orders but there is a little bench outside. The Buffalo chicken salad was the best I’ve ever had. Our kids devoured their burgers from the kid’s menu and my husband loved the Local Plate!

Takeaway only. Be sure to pull the paper from your burger. Accidentally was over-charged.

This is my jam. Stumbled upon this lunch option after hiking at Wai'ale Falls a week ago and I'm still dreaming about that meal. Wow! I'm home in the bitter cold now, and THRILLED to see I can order some butter online (couldn't fit it in bags to buy there). Place was super cute, loved all the signs. The woman working was friendly and fast. My order was a burger with lilikoi (sp?) butter and fries with some sort of sauce made out of magic. If you find yourself in this area, consider yourself extremely fortunate and eat here!

Food really disappointing. A couple dishes were ok, but most were not fantastic. Fish was dry. Fries bland.The butters are lovely and the people kind but the food left a lot to be desired

Understated place with friendly service and good food! Worth the stop. Chicken mac nut salad is excellent and the lilikoi lemonade.

Amazing food on the off-beaten path. We had the grilled mahi sandwich and crab cake sandwich and weren't disappointed at all. 15-minute wait and we ate at a little wooden bench outside.

This is a great spot to get a different menu. I wanted their special but it was sold out so ordered a burger with fries it was a tasty homemade burger for little over 15 bucks. Anyways, if you want a different taste it's ok just pricy. Until next time looking for choke ono grinds for da buck ahui hou!!

Amazing food, awesome friendly local service. I had the blt, husband had the mahi. Food was great. Limited seating but you can take the food to Rainbow falls and eat there under the gigantic banyan tree.
