“Best Loco Moco at Kauaii!!!“

“Went to hukilau for 37th wedding anniversary. Oct 15. Was dying for prime rib. Didn’t care about price I wanted Prime rib so so bad. All we get here on Kauai is choice. There is no fat in the meat no marbling and you can’t cut it with a fork. You have to slice every bite. That is choice. And if you’re good with that. Then the rib is great. It was cooked perfectly. But I wanted the prime rib. Prime has fat all thru it and so tender the meat falls apart. Little pieces of fat around the edges and you can see the marbling in the center. I actually asked the waitress what was on my plate (which I have never ever done before) and she said it was prime she even went to the chef to check. He too said it was prime. I have cooked a lot of prime rib in my lifetime so I feel like I know what talking about but I felt like I was being blown off like an unknowing tourist. All I know is that my meat did not look anything like what is in the photo of their prime rib on the website with photos of their menu. Love this place otherwise. Been going there for 30 years. Incredibly nice waithelp and an incredible view for a romantic evening.“

“Great barbecue! Everything was good, I especially liked the chicken. A member of our party is lactose intolerant, and there were no problems whatsoever with that, with no special requests or modifications required. The mac salad was great, and was lactose-free.“

“Big Wave Dave's is the best place in Kapa'a to have a drink or two and to eat fantastic food! Lots of local atmosphere and friendly service.“

“Had the swordfish special. My wife had a fancy burger. We each had a different cocktail. Everything was really delicious!!! We also had the best server in our lives, her name was Kay. I know we will never have a server as great as her ever. We wish her the best!“

“Looking a place to have a late night dinner. Stumbled across this place specifically chosen because of the 10:00 PM close time. The service was good. The meal was amazing. The menu was limited with few options. A group of nine of us went to dinner and 5 different meals ordered from the menu. All were delicious. I'm not sure if the time of day matters when eating there, since it is a busy place during the day. It was definitely a good decision for us for an 8:00 PM dinner.“

“We absolutely loved this course!“

“They definitely give large portions. I ordered the Teriyaki Meatl loaf with steam rice, mac salad and shrimp. Plus we had Dinuguan with steam rice, Mac salad and shrimp. So Ono. Kudos to the staff and management. Please give them a merit raise and 15 minute extra break. I will definitely tell my family and friends.“

“The atmosphere was extraordinary. This is a mom and pop restaurant, all family works here. So my water abd coffee were always filled. Plates and tables constantly cleaned. The family worked together as one. I was in awe. The macaroni salad was the best I tasted on four islands. I got the waffles with blueberry inside. Seriously wonderful taste with fresh rip berries. My son enjoyed the blueberry pancakes. The portions are large. Enjoy.“
