Ate lunch there after getting battery changed at O'Reilly next door. Have seen the place for a couple of years now and it was our first time there. First impression was it was a bit loud with the pop rock sound track, but the music was neither offensive in content or volume. NBA finals were warming up on the big screens but sound was off. The furniture was eclectic mix of black tables and chairs, white tables and chairs, and zinc covered tables with black booth seats. The three of us agreed the zinc tables were short and would be more comfortable if they were 3 inches taller.

We arrived just after opening and were the 3rd table to be seated. Service was fine, no issues, but it appeared our server was the only one serving. We ordered an East Side Burger, Kalua Pork Sandwich, and the Paniola Burger.

First, the fries were fantastic. They stayed crispy throughout the entire meal, so kudos for that. Both burgers were also fantastic. There was bonified char on the bottoms that gave the occasional crunch, very similar to backyard charcoal grilled burgers. Burgers were also significantly thickernthan your average burger and had the appearance of hand shaped. Being thick burgers and char on the outside, we were impressed that the burgers were not dry in the least and had great flavor. Had great beef flavor, not meatloaf or frozen patty.

Some minor quibbles. Not a single pickle to be found. Also, the Paniola order came onion free for some reason and would have certainly been appreciated. Lastly, if you give us knives, give us some forks to go with them. When we asked for a fork, we got a plastic disposable one. Knives were legit knives, why not a legit fork? A few attention to minor details and this would have been perfect. Having said that, we certainly appreciated the food flavors and will return the next time we have a serious burger fix that needs to be tended to.

Showed up and they have a 10 dollar cover charge. Sounded like they had live music that sounded bad. They had a loop of some YouTube fire on the TVs. I’ve heard from friends that the food was garbage. I asked if they wave the cover charge for military and they said no that was the last chance I was giving them. Just go to Buffalo Wild Wings across the street the wings are meh but at least it’s good. Just let this place die maybe we will get something better In there place.

The food and variety was amazing. I'm guessing it's a local place because we were getting side-eyed. Over all, good food and live music.

Nice little place. A little of a cafeteria feel, but the service, beer, and was really good. We just stopped in for a drink and snack. Got the salt and pepper shrimp and fried rice. Very large portions, serving my wife and myself, along with my grandkid. Highly recommend.

Really good food and atmosphere !! We were hesitant on stopping after a long day of UTV ridding but we were starving and ran into this location! No regrets at all, poor waiter ridding solo but had great attitude. Highly recommend!

There are no positives about a dining experience at this place. I had relaxed expectations for speed of service, but this just took it to another level. There were a max of 4 tables occupied when we ordered, and 40 minutes later, after one table had already walked out due to slow service, one of the three items we ordered arrived (and I’m pretty sure it was meant for the table that walked out). This cheeseburger was half cold and came in a sesame bun that was somehow ice cold on the outside and soggy and greasy on the inside. The other two items were nowhere to be seen for ten minutes, at which point we inquired and were told it was busy and the “chef” was backed up. By way of apology for the delay, they offered us another burger (who knows who this belonged to), but we politely declined and paid for the one item that had that showed up before leaving.

Locally owned and operated (small family business). Food was great, service was excellent and quick. We ordered family style, shrimp tempura, garlic chicken and grilled steak. It was excellent as we could share and try everything.
Seems to be a choice for the locals - which is always encouraging.
Throughly enjoyed our evening here.

Understand the game is on but you all need to attend to your customers. Not sitting at the bar flirting and ignoring your job. No tip for you because of it. Took almost 30 minutes to get the food because you were not paying attention Marina. The only this good about this place was the food. Do not recommend!!!
