35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kalaheo

“Best chicken pot pies we’ve ever had. Cannot wait to try the dessert pie next!“

“Perfect and just right for a sunny afternoon by the pool!!! Love the fresh fruit on top! 💯“

“Really tasty and full tacos—tried the carnitas, chicken and carne asada tacos, all soooo yummy!! The chicken taco had cabbage and sauces that really made it! Just make sure to check your order that it’s complete! But otherwise it was VERY delicious tacos, better than many street tacos I’ve had in So Cal!“

“My husband and I love Thai food. My kids haven’t had much, but they’re not picky eaters. We came here and Hanalei Burger and Nick’s were closed. So we tried Thai Elephant. The food was fast and fresh. We ordered the red chicken combo and the shrimp pad Thai. Not the best Thai we’ve ever had. I don’t think people are coming to Hanalei Burger or Nick’s for the best burger ever, but Thai Elephant was better than expected, hit the spot, and we would definitely eat here again. My family, including the kids, ate every last bite.“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“It’s a cute little town with a handful of galleries and other shops. Not to be missed is Popo’s cookies and Banana Patch ( if it’s still around with kauai made pottery)“

“Justin, you and your team did a fabulous job for our Son's wedding rehearsal dinner! We are so grateful for all the hard work leading up to our event and for your careful attention to detail and responsiveness to our requests. The food was a wonderful combination of flavors and delicious in every way! Our family and wedding party loved and raved about it all! A few of the many items people keep raving about was the amazing Macaroni Salad and your special BBQ sauces. We all agreed they were the best we ever had! It was so nice to work with someone who goes above and beyond to make an event a success. It was a night all of our guests enjoyed greatly and will not be forgetting anytime soon. With great gratitude, Carmen, John & Melanie, Eric (the proud parents) Paige and Dylan (the bride and groom) San Francisco, CA“

“Best shave ice 🍧 that ive had on kauai. My nieces loved their hot dog 🌭 too. Perfect beach treats.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience here. We both ordered delicious dishes—my pork belly with noodles and my wife’s salmon. The portions were generous, and the food was absolutely delicious. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try.“

“The Lava burger was one of the best I have ever had. If you are in Waimea don’t pass it by.“

“Both times we had JoJo’s shaved ice while visiting Kauai the shaved ice was great! However I do have to say, the employees working the Kapa’a location was much more welcoming and friendlier than the Hanalei location.“

“Best coffee and people in Kauai!“

“The best hamburger in the state, and I am from California. May even be better than In&Out If you visit Kauai please don’t miss, it’s like not going to Disneyland when you visit our State.“

“I told my wife we were going to a food truck that I had read about for lunch. She was a little skeptical, but said sure, let’s go. So glad we did. The food was so delicious! And the portion size was so generous. When you are on the south shore of Kauai, please don’t miss this gem.“

“Love this place. I've been to a few locations and it's always good! The coffee is amazing, but the real shocker is how great the food is! The local breakfast sandwich, croissantwich and Breakfast Burrito and so delicious, but my favorite by far is the Lomi Salmon Bagel....I crave it!!!!! Highly recommend!“

“I tried the Handlebar and loved the natural flavors here and they make sure to add flavor as they build! I would ask for extra coconut flakes on top and wish they poked some holes in the ice to ensure the flavor gets to the center so it's not a snowball in the middle.“

“I had the ahi poke bowl. It was delicious. We enjoyed eating at a picnic table with our friends. Very casual. Very relaxing.“

“Delicious and friendly coffee house!“

“Amazing and so worth brining it back to Albuquerque nm . Will order more if they deliver via mail“

“I’ve driven by this place a million times. Stopped in during March OMG delish. I was told about it from the office staff at Kauai Coffee. The secret is OUT. Don’t miss this one.“

“Great place, get there early , usually there is a line but it moves fast.“

“Absolutely amazing. This is a must when de ending from waimea canyon state park. Unbelievably delicious and filling.“

“We walked around the corner, at the end of the street and found this gem. I LOVED hearing the kids, just being family. I was greeted kindly and got my order in a timely manner. The counter and side area where you can eat was clean. I can’t have dairy so I had just shave ice and it was so refreshing. The flavors blended well (I had coconut & lychee) and tasted yummy. My favorite part was the youngest daughter who definitely had the Aloha Spirit. She was practicing on her skates, helmeted of course, and talking to myself and another family. I asked about if she liked school and art (that’s what I teach), and her favorite flavor. It’s strawberry BTW I told my husband, she’s the original “Lilo”. I want to thank the family for making our day. Mahalo nui loa! ❤️“

“Im so grateful for Aloha Aina Juice Cafe! I enjoy an acai bowl daily from you guys and it's always amazing! Thank you for the delicious, nutritious foods and the positive vibes every day. 🙏🏼☀️🌺“

“This place is so much fun for adults and kids. The slide, pool, and activity area is so much fun and they welcome you with open arms. The food and drinks are amazing but…our service was why we kept coming back. Justyna has the best vibe and is so attentive. We recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Poipou area. ?“

“I stopped by here for a quick lunch and was really impressed by how simple and straightforward everything was. It is exactly the kind of spot where you can count on getting a solid, filling burrito or taco without any unnecessary fuss. The food felt really fresh, and the casual vibe makes it an easy place to just swing by and grab a great meal when you are on the go.“

“It was an impromptu stop and surprisingly good. We tried 3 different items and all excellent“

“From Japan here. Where do I start. BAJA CHALUPAS 3! Sundays and Mondays at Lawai Beach Resort! It was great home style food! The portion size was huge!! The hot sauce was HOTTT but I like my hot sauce spicy hot so I enjoyed it. Do dare if you choose. Had a great conversation with Kryshtian! He was really cool. The shrimp quesadilla was great. The steak tacos were awesome. The chicken burrito was fire. Great prices too! If you are staying at Lawai beach resort, need to try it! Thank you Kryshtian once again. Much love!“

“Best hot dog hands down in Kauai great service good experience“

“We went to Isola Cucina to celebrate my birthday and had a great experience. The food was incredibly delicious. We had calamari fritti, focaccia with pesto butter and extra virgin olive oil, and shrimp maltagliati for appetizers.

For our main dishes, we had the ribeye steak with Chianti demi-glaze, chicken marsala, and shrimp scampi, all with sides of lobster. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Our desserts was ono too.

The hostess was very accommodating and our server was good. Our food came out on time and we didn’t have to wait long. They also had live music, which made the atmosphere even nicer.

Overall, it was a great place to have dinner or celebrate a special occasion and we had a fantastic birthday dinner.“

“Best breakfast spot for something quick, light, and delicious! ❤️ Highly recommend trying the little fish bowl with chia pudding.“

“Aloha
I can’t believe they are still opened for business the reviews wow ..

My sister and me got some shave ice only thing the ice wasn’t packed like it should have been she said she’s running out of ice and it would take 15 minutes for new ice she said she can probably make one but she end up making 2 it was 15 minutes no new ice .. our shave ice melted so fast I know it gets humid out but I’ve had Plenty of shave ice it don’t melt that fast.

Customer Service was good 😊 she’s a young girl with a friendly mannerism.
Shave ice was delicious 😋“

“A friend recommded this restaurant a few years ago and we have been coming here several years now. So far, we only order garlic shrimps and coconut shrimps. Both dishes are delicious. There are a few tables for sitting down, but we see a lot of to go orders.“

“Food is still good however the service now sucks. if your eating and want something else or another drink. whoever is serving you will not get it you are told that you must go back up to the cashier and order it there. what kind of crap is that. when told that I replied that "Then no need to tip you right" ? got a dirty look for that one, I'm just saying what's the purpose of having a waiter/waitress that won't get anything may as well go to the Crack. glad the one in Kalaheo isn't like poipu !!“
