This place is insanely over priced for the trash that gets served here.
You would find better food at a Walmart freezer section.
Staff are nice though!

Great atmosphere. Service is pretty decent. Don't order the salad. Just walk over to ABC or 7 Eleven and buy a salad for 1/3 the price. What a joke.

Margarita pizza wasn't the beat tasted sour and gone off. The chips was nice, and burgers. The price for larger is extortionate. But apart from that good atmosphere for nightly band and soft drinks.

We went for happy hour, nice affordable options for beer and drinks. We had pizza and loaded fries which were okay, nothing special but not bad.
I would like to give a BIG thanks to Reiko, our waitress she was polite sweet and accommodating, we were three girls that want to split the bill for each food and drink, not equally, and even tho it was hard to be completed in the system she was willing to help us out!!!!

The pizza was quiet good and the Mai Tai was stiff. Prices aren't too bad during Happy hour. The bar tender actually made it even better, he was super friendly and helpful, told me and other people at the bar about stuff to do and places to go.

Tables were dirty. Burger was good. Fries were horrible. They came out completely cold and not salted. Didn’t even bother eating them. I won’t be back.

Just overpriced smash burgers and fries that were overpriced for what you get. Service was decent, but a hard pass for future visits.

So to sit outside in a shaded area with the sweet breeze of Waikiki air blowing by is wonderful. They have tvs on with great sports, for those of us who love sports, this is one of the few places you can go to see them. For those who don’t? Don’t worry! There is beautiful music playing in the background and lots of people around to converse with should you choose. The food is “meh”, nothing to write home about, but still better than fast food and super close to all the shopping and center of the village. The birds are ruthless and will steal the food right off your table. It’s an island, we deal with it right? The service was mediocre, it took my server 4 times to bring me what I ordered. The first 3 times she just didn’t pay attention to detail and realize she was bringing what I ordered. I felt bad for having to keep reminding her of what I ordered. Maybe she is over worked, or understaffed, or just having an “off” day, but it definitely wasn’t a great first impression. There is trash all over the floor, and no employees picking it up as they step over it. Even I pick up trash on the ground that isn’t mine and put it in a can. Anyway. Great of you want a cocktail and sports, not so great if you want to eat food in clean and without harassment from the birds.

Stayed at the Hawaiian village for 3 weeks, and tapa was the most annoying bar or restaurant.
Sat over ten minutes at the bar the first day and didn’t even get acknowledged with 4 people behind the counter. So I Just walked away.
Came back another night in the mood for a drink, sat at the bar and ended up having a running conversation with wife making fun of the bar again not acknowledging me. Making sure I didn’t come fixated to my phone, I raised my hand, stood up, tried making eye contact, nothing, these guys were seemingly intentionally ignore the patrons. Looking down maintaining tunnel vision on their tasks instead of looking around observing the bar. I could have literally spiked every drink, the bar tenders would have never known. (If you’ve had professional training you know what I’m talking about) Guy next to me joked he had walked to the bathroom and back while waiting for his to go box and still never got it in that time frame. He recommended not paying up front. Just when I finally thought I was going to get service, the guy walks past me to the girl who had literally walked up from pool less than 30 seconds prior. Old boy serves her then asks what I want and I told him nothing then he tells me I can’t sit at the bar if I’m not placing an order. Told him he didn’t seem to mind the last 15 mins I’ve been here then I just decided to walk away.
They do have a really hot habanero burger that’s good. Most their food is cafeteria grade at typical resort pricing.
Lastly, the bands play obnoxiously loud for the tiny venue. They play like they performing for all the pools on the property. We heard them every night until ten from the hotel room. That and the performers make all the cliche touristy comments, like they’re addressing a kindergarten class. Really cringy and maybe it works on 70 year olds and drunk 50 year olds, but of all the vacation sections I’ve been too, this was the worst.

It’s a cute little outdoor bar area with live music. They do have food options too. The servers are attentive and quick. I had a daiquiri and it was good, my husband had a Mai Thai but he did not like it. He said he did not taste alcohol in it but he loved the live music.
Don’t get the waffle fries, very dry and hardly “loaded”. Bad service and long waits.
Don't waste your time coming here with an expectation to get service. Sat at a table for 20 minutes with my family and no one came to present the menu
Nice shaded bar. Over priced drinks and food. Feels like Vegas prices. Drinks are average not worth $20. Didn’t even give a slice of pineapple at this price. Come at night for the live band. Barefoot bar Nextdoor taste better for almost half the price.
