The filet mignon was seasoned perfectly and zucchini was very good. It was kind of noisy but almost all restaurants are unfortunately.
Fantastic restaurant. That area of town is shady, and parking is rough. Pretty loud atmosphere but very pleasant and great music.
This was my third visit to Little Joe's Steakhouse, and it will be my last. We went to dinner with another couple and the evening started out well. My husband and I both ordered fillet steaks, his was medium and mine was medium rare. My husband rarely gets steak but it's one of my favorite entrees. When the steaks were delivered to the table, the server announced the steak temperature and placed the appropriate plates in front of us. The waiter immediately came by to ask if everything was okay and we replied that it was even though we hadn't cut into our steaks to see if they were prepared correctly. After that there was no other contact with the waiter until the end of the meal. My steak was overcooked, but I didn't want to make a fuss as it was edible but not to my liking. When my husband was 3/4 finished with his, he asked me if I wanted the rest as it wasn't cooked enough for him. That's when we figured out the server had switched our steaks. I ate what was left of his steak and ate about half of mine, leaving the overdone parts uneaten, clearly visible on my plate. We were both very hungry which is why we ate what was given to us. Our friends were more upset than we were about this, and mentioned to the waiter at the end of the meal we were given the wrong steaks. The waiter said he wished we'd said something earlier because we'd eaten most of the steaks. I then said we would have but he never came back to the table; then he said he DID come to the table, and I said yes but we hadn't had a chance to take a bite so we didn't know. He argued with us a little more before walking away, then returned with a dessert menu for our friends but not for us, we were obviously ignored. A manager never came by, no apology, no comp, no offer of a free app or dessert on our next visit...nothing. I've never been treated so rudely by a waiter. With numerous other steakhouses to choose from, we will never be back due to the discourteous behavior from staff.
Everything was good until we got home and found out that what we ordered to take home was wrong and disappointed our kids. We had ordered a Chantily cake to take home and when we got home it ended up being a cheesecake. Which wasn't what they had been hoping for and ended up wasting more than half of it.
The steak was excellent, my wife wasn't thrilled with her baked potato because it had a garlic butter that wasn't listed on the menu. However the waiter Jayven was very gracious and got her a plain baked potato without the garlic butter. Overall, it was a very good dinner and we will be back.
Food was great. The steaks, seafood, desserts and drinks were great. Loves the atmosphere very lively and high energy. Great location. Don't need to fight traffic into Waikīkī.
Great place for amazing food for a great price. Celebrated a friend's birthday 🎂 this round. Staff was amazing 👏
It was good. I liked it and I would go back. I do wish happy hour food would be for the whole restaurant but I understand.
Waiter was great nice place food was good. I ordered the Tomahawk and it was overcooked but I ate it anyway. Not bad at all overall.
Wow! This place has been on my list since moving back home to Oʻahu, and we finally made it! I was more than pleasantly surprised. We went for the tomahawk special along with some crab legs, and it was on par with the high-end steakhouses—maybe even better. The entire team was attentive, service was quick, and everyone was genuinely friendly. We'll definitely be back soon... and often!

Our server Camillio and the staff were excellent. The table location was in a nice quiet corner which our party of 4 very much appreciated. The chop salad was average and wasn't enough to split which my friend & I did as well as the entree. We were looking forward to the rib eye and to my surprise wasn't anything exceptional and was a bit salty. The butterfish was delicious even though there were sesame seeds sprinkled on top which I had to scrape off since I'm allergic to them. I do think I swallowed some seeds because I had an instant allergic reaction. I still finished my butterfish portion because it was so good. The baked potato was bland with sour cream, bacon & very little chives so I asked for more. The sautéd mushrooms below average. We shared one order among the 4 of us and only half of the dish was eaten. The gentleman in our party ordered the filet mignon/lobster tail combo. He said it was ok, the meat not having much flavor. Desserts were good... Cheesecake, affogato, and vanilla gelato.
Took Forever To Order OUR Dinner- WaitStaff Was Not FrendLy or Intu CusTomer Service- FaLse SaLe on A BoTTLe Of Wine- Manager Was RUDE An AGreSSiVe wen I asked for A CondimenT Insinuating that I grab it from his hand after I asked him to set it on the table because the waiter did not bring what I had asked him for None if the staff Greeted Us Upon Entering the Establishment An I will Never Eat there Again or Recommend it to ANYONE
Food was good my steak was more medium than medium rare, our waiter was great kept our drinks topped off, made sure we were ok. Noise was a little loud, our table was weird only because they legs were kind of in our way.
The food was seasoned very well. From the apps, sides, and entree's. That was the first thing that came to mind. The ambiance is great perfectly dimmed lights and great playlist. I would recommend coming on a weekday as it is less busier and more intimate. Food came out on hot plates which is always solid. And our server Shaun was the best! Took care of every need and then some! Made us feel at home! Calamari was good, surf and turf special and the lobster was cooked perfectly. Ordered a ribeye and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare top to bottom. Which got me thinking they know exactly what they doing here! peeps need to come to little joes over most of the steakhouses out here on the island. Everything was phenomenal and would definitely come back time and time again. Thanks to Shaun and staff for taking care of us!
The food was delicious but we were stuck in a very bland side room next to a screaming baby that screamed for 90 minutes straight and the parents did not take the child out to comfort him. I had said that is my husbands birthday and what they put us in the worst place in the whole restaurant was very disappointing. It definately ruined our delicious and very expensive food. Next time we will sit at the bar and order happy hour food instead.
