$1 taco Tuesdays...horrible. 25cent wings overcooked closer to burned. Drinks NOT WORTH IT. I don't know what was in the poipu strawberries daiquiri it was horrible like cough medicine. All drinks were watered down even the soft drinks. Not a very good experience at all. Don't go

Kalapaki Joe’s Poipu knows exactly what it is—and it delivers. With the motto “No fancy words. Generous portions. Good vibes,” this spot hits the trifecta ✅
The vibe? Chill and lively 🎸, with live music setting the tone for an easygoing island night 🌙. The food? Let’s just say generous portions isn’t just marketing—these dishes come ready to satisfy 🍛🍤. It's casual dining done right, overlooking the Poipu Kai tennis courts 🎾, which adds a unique, open-air energy to the meal.
Whether you're winding down after a beach day 🏖️ or catching the tunes with friends 🥂, Kalapaki Joe’s is a place you’ll want to linger. No fuss, just flavor and fun 🌺🍹

I love this place. Great happy hour drinks and bites. The staff was welcoming and prompt. I can see the ocean from here! The live music on Thursday night was beautiful hawaiin music. Such a gem.

If you’re looking for “Cheers” on Kauai. This is the place. Great selection of food, and happy hour drinks. The staff is amazing, especially Vinnie. My favorite restaurant/bar on the island.

Hubby said this was the best moco loco he had this trip! Lots of variety on the menu, so you are sure to find something for everyone. Good drink options. The place appears to be getting a little run down, but the views and staff make it a pleasant experience.

Wowowowowwww!!! 10/10 experience! This restaurant is heaven on earth. Combine it with the views and it’s enough to make me want to move to Kawaii permanently. Jason, our server, was awesome -very hospitable and attentive! He made sure to play the NFL games at our request and the food was irresistibly delicious! Their happy hour was outta this world! $6 fishbowl margaritas, 25 cent wings…need I say more? A MUST visit! Thank you for such a great time!!!
Best, pokey nachos on the island nachos on the island. Kind and friendly bartender. Good place to watch sports and meet people

We had lunch yesterday at Joe's We had a very nice server, good and generous food portions, huge beer selections, and decent pricing for Hawaii.
One more thing - plenty of parking which is not always the case on Kauai. We would definitely go back.
Bonus brownie points to David that gave our dog a very nice shredded beef plate! Azalea says thank you too!
Parking: As stated above - plenty of free parking!

Great atmosphere, lots of TVs to watch sports, airy with all the windows open and light, views to the beach. The food was just ok. Some well labelled vegetarian options and burgers, but nothing too incredible (your standard mozzarella sticks). Staff was not super helpful when we asked to heat up food that came cold. Great to have a drink and watch a game!
Vegetarian options: Not an incredible selection, appreciate they are well labelled...

Great spot to have a beer and watch the game - awesome atmosphere ? Food, not so great.
I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was cold (like it had come out of the fridge). I raised it with the waitress and she seemed to have an issue with me bringing this up.
My complaint was remedied - the pulled pork and bun was seemingly thrown in the microwave. But yeah - worst food I've had on this island by a long shot
