Not the worst burger I’ve ever had; the sweet potato fries were over cooked and flavorless. Staff was friendly though. Dirty tables and lots of dead bugs in the windows. Eat off base if you can.

I normally never leave bad reviews for restaurants, but this is a special case. Where do I begin?
Very poor management. From the moment we walked in, we were scolded (BY THE MANAGER) for not making a reservation, and blamed for them being understaffed since we hadn’t made one (even though there were only two other tables there, and it was Friday at 12pm?). I’m wondering why the place wasn’t properly staffed/prepped? The manager made sarcastic comments about a couple other parties that came after us in regards to not having a reservation.
It took about 30 minutes for us to be greeted by any staff once we were seated. Our drinks took about 40 minutes and consisted of water and bottled beer. Our food (mozzarella sticks and nachos) took an hour and fifteen minutes. And we were told at least three times by the server (who seemed very new and was trying her best, being the only server working and clearly stressed out) that the manager only had one cook and one server working. Still, there were probably four tables total so I’m not sure why it took so long.
Finally…It should be a crime to charge $15 for 5 mozzarella sticks, especially considering that they are frozen/store bought 😂 idk how we fell for that.
PROS: the nachos were actually good, when they finally came out. Also, the place had a good atmosphere and was clean. Just extremely poor service. Maybe consider a new manager? Not every role ends up being a good fit for people, it’s just the way it is.

Food is bland and overpriced. Cheap food for double the price. Has so much potential to be good, just not worth it to be honest.

The Servers are super nice and hard working but the Manager cant handle stress and complains about them quiet loudly Not a reputable way of dealing with problems

Opens 1100, fair food choices for most, only cheese quesadilla for vegetarian (not vegan).

The owner/ bartender is amazing, with wonderful mixology skills! I loved every drink she made me. This restaurant is now called The Lanai. Food can be hit or miss. The salads are great and so are the burgers. Although one burger I got had onions that were completely charred rather than caramelized. The mac salad was a bit bland. Overall a really nice experience though. There are a ton of games you can play like pool, ladder ball, corn hole, etc. There is an indoor and outdoor area. Lots of space for fun!

I had an extremely disappointing experience here recently. After waiting 40 minutes for my meal, it was served with an ingredient I am highly allergic to, despite informing the staff beforehand. When I sent it back, instead of preparing a new meal, they simply removed the allergen and sent the same dish back, which is completely unacceptable. When I pointed this out and requested a new meal, the staff responded unprofessionally and dismissively. Shockingly, this is the second time this has happened. The first instance occurred when the restaurant was nearly empty, leaving no excuse for such a mistake. This level of negligence is alarming, especially for individuals with severe allergies.

The old menus need to come back there were way more different foods on there like steak shrimp and a bunch of other appetizers
I’ve been to Kahuna Lanai a couple of times since the management change, and unfortunately, both visits left me disappointed. The new menu just isn’t up to the standard it used to be. Not only have prices gone up, but the quality of the food doesn’t justify the cost. The flavors are lacking, and the portions don’t seem as generous as they were before. It’s frustrating because this used to be a great spot, but now it feels like you’re paying more for less. I hope they make some improvements, but for now, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Place used to be popular, but after the rebranding, it just got worse. The kitchen closes to early, no more dollar wing night.
