This place has so much potential but it was a total miss for our family. To start we were quoted 25 minute wait, but it ended up being 55. Moved past that because I assume that is hard to estimate, so no big deal. Now for the food, I got the mahi mahi fish tacos. My MIL had already wanted me that she had ordered them several months prior and didn’t like them, but I ordered them anyways. Should have listened because they were very bland. The garlic aioli was pretty flavorless, and the mango salsa missed the mark. For $25 before tax/tip it was a huge disappointment. Next my daughter ordered the grilled chicken from the kids menu and it had several parts where it was red inside and the consistency was “gross”. My son was easily able to pick it up and eat hers, so if your kid really likes clean pieces of chicken breast and the ligaments/tendons and other squishy things gross them out, skip this too. My son ordered the smash burger and said it was great. Overall, the fact we had to wait double what was quoted originally, and that the prices Were so he, high made this a disappointment and we will not be back.

We found this place on our last night in Kapolei. They had a live singer which we all loved. My daughter and I both have celiac - they have a separate gluten free menu. I was able to get the fresh fish sandwich on a gluten free bun with the awesome super food slaw. It was delicious! We all enjoyed our food & the atmosphere. My husband & I actually preferred this place over Monkeypod (which had too much hype with good, but not great, food). Coconut creme brulee was delightful dessert.

We visited 808 Craft House in Ko Olina, Hawaii on February 13. Our server, Michele, provided very poor service.
Our party included four people, yet gratuity for six was added because we were seated next to another group of four. The restaurant treated the two tables as one party of eight. Since parties of six or more are automatically charged a 20% tip, it felt like service quality did not matter.
Michele brought more sodas than we ordered and charged us for them. As a whole the two groups ordered four sodas, two beers, and two waters. When we questioned the extra drinks on the bills, Michele argued instead of correcting the bill professionally. She’s the one that took the order.
The food 808 Smashburger was asked to be cooked well, when it arrived it was overcooked and disappointing. Had no seasoning and bland taste.
A 3% kitchen fee was also added for a “job well done,” according to the menu. Based on the quality of our meals, that description did not match our experience.
There was also a singer performing who appeared to be doing karaoke. The performance was awful.
The only positive part of our visit was being seated quickly.
Overall, this was a one-star experience, and we would not return. And I would encourage you not to eat there.

Can’t even wait till I leave the restaurant to write a review. I just finished the double patty & double cheese, blue cheese smash burger… and it was so flipping good, I’m not even really sure what just happened. If you are at this establishment and you’ve had a look at the menu and you don’t know what to order, you’re already doing it wrong. This blue cheese smash burger is the single best burger I have had in my life. I’ve eaten a lot of burgers before and never has a burger made me emotional !! So good it was scary. The flavor is mental, the patties are prime, and the combination of blue cheese, bacon jam, and pickled red onions are SO GOOD. If I could, I would blend this burger up into a liquid and wear it as a cologne daily, just to relive this burger every minute.
Charity, Trish, and Adam know exactly what they’re doing here and they helped me find my way to this absolute beast of a meal. Definitely will be back

It didnt seem that busy but perhaps short on servers. We sat at table for over 15 minutes before getting our drinks. Server was sweet but not attentive. Food was pretty good. Salads and pork dish. Forgot our appetizer. Would not recommend.
Gerald
Overall, very good. Our server, Amaya, was excellent. The folks at check-in need to watch their language with children around.
Ulga
Food was pretty mediocre. Got excited about the mango salsa, but it was flavorless. A good place to go if you want to watch the game, but I probably wouldn’t go back. Very pricey for what you get. But the cocktail I ordered was pretty good.

The food is mid. The onion rings were the best dish. The “creme brûlée” is just instant pudding with caramelized sugar on top. The service was terrible, except for the manager. One manager was raging at staff over high chair placement. The girls are the front desk were rude. Overall skip this and go to Monkeypod. Way better.
Food was average for the price point. We had a much better dining experience (attentive service, excellent food) for the same price at a neighboring restaurant.

When me and my friends were looking for a place to eat, and try, that was new as we are locals. We looked up this place and decided to give it a try. Worth every single Penny at the bar and food wise. We ordered steak bites, ribs and chicken between the three of us and we split it between the three of us as well. Every single meal was amazing. I almost never finish my entire plate and I definitely finish the entire plate and had no leftovers. 100% recommend!!!

We hadn't dined here before. We enjoyed our appetizers and highly recommend the fried Brussels sprouts. The other food was good but the burgers somehow lacked the flavour expected from a restaurant that markets itself as farm to table. Cocktails and drinks were pretty good value.

Really good food. Pizzas and hamburgers were great. Ask about Happy Hour pricing. Great ambiance with it being a corner lot with outside seating. Good beer selection. Definitely recommend.
