“I wanna start this review by giving Savanah a massive shout out. The best customer service and so professional our order got sent to Honolulu because of the new app update and without any question she went ahead and just made our order anyway because we would’ve lost the order and had to pay double. This is the kind of customer service that should make someone a manager someday. We understand it was our fault, but she understands. It was a small order and it would suck to have to repay for it again, so she without any question took care of it for us.“

“I ordered the blackened fish tacos and my husband ordered the AlPastor tacos. Both were incredible. We could really taste the pineapple in the Al Pastor. There are two sauces that he keeps outside and we added the red/spicy sauce on top and they gave the tacos a great kick! Food was made to order and very fresh!“

“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 !!“

“This sweet little spot on Kauaʻi, it holds a beautiful mana (spirit), and once you find it, it just keeps pulling you back. My beautiful wahine (wife) and I, we were only on the island for one short week, but we kept coming back—four times! Like the tide, it just calls you home.
​I made it my mission to sample every single brew they had flowing, just to see what kind of talent they get on tap. They’ve got some good ones, truly. But if I had to pick one to sing about, the one that really touched my soul, it’s the delightful Country Time Belgian farm ale. It’s so clean, so crisp, it just sings the song of the islands right in your glass.
​The whole atmosphere here is pure lokahi (harmony). It’s so easy and relaxed—exactly where you want to hoʻonanea (unwind) and forget your troubles. We loved settling in, especially when the evening cooled and those warm outdoor fire pits were glowing under the stars. It’s the perfect setting for my lady and me.
​And the staff? Oh, they are the heart of the place! Always so genuinely friendly, always with that deep, warm Aloha spirit for everybody who walks through the door. If you’re planning a trip to Kauaʻi, you simply must add Mucho Aloha Brewhouse to your itinerary. Five stars, no question. Mahalo nui loa, everybody. Right on!“

“If there is something that hasn't changed in the last 20+ years, it is Taco Bell. Their quality and vegetarian friendliness deserves a mention. This taco bell was amazing - the food was quick, fresh, and tasty! It was consistently good. We hit this Taco Bell at least 5-7 times and every time it was 5-star food and service!“
