We visited this restaurant for an American-style lunch, and it exceeded our expectations. The Jack Daniel's burger was phenomenal, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The cocktails were equally impressive, skillfully mixed and refreshingly delicious. Additionally, the sirloin steak was exceptional—tender, juicy, and full of rich, savory taste. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

Got the daily fish special with macadamia crusted breading and everything was phenomenal. Be prepared for a long wait to eat, but worth it

We had a great experience at Buzz's for lunch. We loved the ambiance. Such a cool spot. Definitely recommend the calamari steak and the burger. Fantastic!
Made a reservation for 6:30 and wasn’t sat until 6:45. Food was great, paid $8 extra for the fries on the second picture though and there were only about 8 fries total, not enough to share. Restaurant was very busy even on a monday night, and staff often overlooked us because they were running around. However, they were very kind.

I recently dined at Buzz's Original Steak House, and it was a disappointing experience. The food was cold, and the steak was tough and nearly inedible. To make matters worse, they overcharged for what seems to be a Costco or Sam's ribeye choice cut. The service was mediocre at best, with inattentive staff who seemed disinterested in providing a pleasant dining experience. I've checked this place off my list and definitely won't be coming back.

Our waitress at 1:30pm on Saturday June 15th was awesome!!! Her spirit of Aloha shined brightly from the moment we sat down in the makai side lanai. My 81 year old wife was treated like she was her very own aunty and given lots of patient love. Our sweet waitress kneeled down so she could help my wife (who has hearing aids) understand better while ordering. I failed to get her name, but I hope her supervisor can identify and reward her for being an ideal ambassador for your restaurant!!! ? ?
Parking: We were blessed to find the one handicap parking spot. If not for that, it would have been VERY difficult for my wife to gain access to the restaurant.
What a fun place with great service and spectacular food. Not a good place to go if you are on a time limit. For a fun evening this is the place. The prime rib is the best but leave room for the appetizers
We called and made reservations ahead of time for a large group. They had a beautiful table ready for us and the food and service were both top notch. Would highly recommend this place for a nice meal out!

Dude with shirt unbuttoned to his navel told me I couldnt come in wearing a tanktop...at a restaurant on the beach. Kailua is so yuppified...
Always a great time. Food is always delish and service is fantastic. Make reservations! There's always a line waiting to be seated.
Parking: Small free parking in front. Frequently you have to park across the street in the Park.

RUDE. IMPOLITE. ARROGANT. UNAPOLOGETIC. I'm still stunned over the outrageous treatment I received over the telephone when attempting to make a reservation for 10 to dine there. My bill would have topped $1,000. I was treated thus by the manager as I was asking questions which evidently she didn't care to answer. Reasonable questions. And noooo photos. I wouldn't even post them!!! And frankly the Aloha Spirit disappeared there. Will spread the news to my friends.

What can I say, Buzz's is Buzz's. They should have a Michelin star. Those MaiTais will get you! ?
