50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waialua

“Food was amazing! Well worth the drive!!!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Discovered Mele Mele Bakery by happy accident during one of their open mic nights—and it’s been a sweet love affair ever since (pun very much intended). This place is a charming mash-up of cozy, quirky, and cool. It’s got that laid-back local vibe that makes you feel instantly at home, whether you're here for the kava, the heavenly baked goods (seriously, their pastries should be illegal), or just to soak in some tunes. They’re not a vegan bakery, but they don’t leave plant-based folks out in the cold—there’s always a small, solid selection of vegan goodies that actually taste good (you know what I mean). Bonus points: they serve locally produced honey, they’re totally dog-friendly, and you’ll likely spot a few kids dancing along to the music while their parents sip kava like it’s their new favorite ritual (because it might be). I had an unforgettable evening here recently when my son performed at their Friday open mic. Watching him play to such a warm, supportive crowd while the smell of fresh bread filled the air…well, let’s just say this place has officially baked itself into my heart. If you're looking for good vibes, better bites, and a community feel that doesn’t feel forced—Mele Mele is your spot.“

“Without any doubt the best pizza on the island of Oahu My favorite is Jerry , pineapples, jalapeños, tomatoes , cheese. Great friendly service with Aloha . This place has a soul. Used to there when I lived on the North Shore and don’t mind driving across the island now - worth it!“

“Best banana bread ever!!!“

“This Place Was Awesome The Moment We Walked In. Asher The Cashier Was So Friendly & Welcoming. The Food Was Absolutely Amazing. My Husband Had The Seth Burger And He Said It Was Good From The 1st Bite To The Last. I Ordered The Garlic Shrimp And, It Was Very, Very Good. The Thank You Note Was A Sweet Touch. We Visit Hawaii Often And Will Definitely Be Back. Thanks To The Whole Staff!“

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !“

“It is everything and then some. Great experience“

“I’m not usually a fan of shave ice, started with one bowl for my daughter. Omg. The flavours are amazing, natural Ingredients for the syrup instead of food colouring and artificial flavours. Went back for 2 more bowls! This place is amazing. Kudos to the team. Keep it up.“

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.“

“My husband and I had such an amazing experience really, everything about this restaurant is so Ono! Such a nice owner and his team are all on point. Food is so fresh and flavorful the drinks.... ohmygosh they are incredible really. Top level everything about this restaurant will bring you back trust me on that. We tried the wings with harbenero and it had a lil honey to just make them perfect, the fried pork belly was light and crispy we really enjoyed everything. Especially the staff they are so welcoming. We found our perfect spot for great grindz and cocktails the are top level....RJ makes a mean smoked Manhattan and we also tried the gum sour which was a variation on the whiskey sour made with bubble gum liquor i think... Definitely bringing all of my family and friends here! TY“

“Good prices and good food. ✔️ Local spot that I love! Nice people, classic interior, with great good! Get the Loco Moco. Has a solid looking Breakfeast menu (I have yet to try), plate lunches (yum!), and dinner (definitely try). Recommended my a local I met and did not disappoint. When I arrived I didn’t know what to get and hadn’t had poi before and they so nicely brought me a taste before ordering 💚“

“We love Drive Thru Joe. The only legit amenity on this base provides us a piece of happiness. Customer service is top and the drinks are fun, refreshing and creative. This is on our top 5 list of things we will miss when leaving the island!!!“

“Would highly recommend Teddys burgers, the best by far!!“

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!“

“The size is right!! And super friendly. Forget the one across the street. Come to Aoki’s“

“WOW!!! I am so incredibly impressed with this hidden gem 💎😍 I cannot wait to be back!“

“I have been studying Portuguese for several years now so when I came across this place I was very excited to practice some of what I've learned. The owners are very friendly and willing to help and that's aside from the fact that their food is AMAZING. I was able to order in Portuguese ☺️ OBRIGADA“

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Super fast and easy. I got a cold brew and a sourdough chocolate chip cookie. The cookie is more of a cake texture than I eexpected but it tastes really good! It paired really well with the drink. Really awesome find on the way to the beach!!!!“

“The best shave I’ve on the island. Definitely a popular stop on the North shore but worth the drive! They are efficient and they have the best flavours!“

“Eat here when you are on Oahu.“

“Roll Crepe one real local gem. Every time we come, da crepes stay fresh, ono, and made right. No skimp, plenty flavor, sweet or savory all solid.

Vibes stay good, service always friendly, and you can tell they care about what doing. One of dose places you like support cuz dey local and dey do it right.

If you in Mililani and looking for one good grind, dis da spot. Always ono, always good energy. Mahalo Roll Crepe love Ashlee and her Crew 🤙🏽❤️“

“Leroy is the man and his food is out of this world“

“My boyfriend & I were staying at the Hawaiian Princess and saw that there was a food truck near us so we decided to check it out. Upon ordering the server was so helpful in describing what he has. Such good food! Will definitely stop by again when in the area.“

“The best Sandwich shop on Island, we’ve been to both locations and love our Haleiwa Store since it’s closer. Perfect for a trip to or from the beach,We love the generous amounts of meats and vegetables and not to forget to amazing Papaya seed dressing. The Staff is always friendly. We love Storto’s“

“5 of us went to the bar and ordered food and drinks. Our waiter, named Guy, rocked! He really made the experience. He was new but obviously had experience in customer service. The food was great, the drinks nice, the service was the best!“

“Excellent Mac nuts and the coffee is amazing 🙌🏼💯“

“Made a circle off of the highway to stop and visit!

The drinks were yum and there was lots to choose from and customize! There were yummy pastries to choose from and lots of seating. If you bring kids, they have a great play area with lots of toys and books!

The cat cave area was well maintained and you could tell the kitties were loved! The most social group of cats I’ve ever seen at a cat cafe with lots of room to roam around and place for the cats to stretch out and be comfortable with or without humans (though I tell you they will flock to you for scratches and loving). The attached catio with seating overlooks a little pond area and the breeze is really nice while enjoying your drinks! These cats will absolutely try to join you in relaxing.

I can’t say enough about how much I loved this place. Absolutely coming back on my next visit to Oahu. If you’ve rented a car, it’s a short and easy stop on the way to Waimea from Waikiki/Honolulu.

PLEASE visit here vs Moff in Waikiki. The difference in care and love for the cats made my heart swell.

Signed happily, a cat lady.“

“WINS Smoothies is hands down the best smoothie spot in Hawaii. I’ve tried a lot of places and nothing comes close. You can actually taste the fresh fruit, and I love that you can adjust the sweetness exactly how you want it.

Our whole family is hooked—we all like something a little different and they nail it every time. Even when family visits from the mainland, this is one of our go-to stops and everyone loves it.

Seriously… best smoothies, no question.“

“Happy chefs is an awesome new establishment in Wahiawa that serves cool drinks. The drinks they serve are Vietnamese coffees, boba teas, different flavor matcha teas. We came just for a quick coffee and ordered the salted coffee. The menu is Vietnamese forward with lunch plates, pho, and banh mis. The prices are great as well. Will be coming back to try the food. I might add that the location on maps is off so it’s closer to the freeway on the corner of Ohai and Kamehemeha.“

“Service was fast and food yummy!“

“My Friend and I ordered corn beef hash. DA Bes in town. Friend wanted his eggs soft scrambled. Our waitress, Rhea, knew exactly how it's made as many establishments overcook them. She said she would inform the cook. They were served exactly as my friend, Bob, wanted. Great service even with a full house. We will become regulars for sure!!!!!“

“Just go there and get it.“

“The Mahi Mahi breakfast plate was phenomenal! Definitely a new favorite for breakfast. The workers here are the sweetest people and are diligent to make sure you have everything you need. The restaurant felt warm and welcoming when we came in. I can’t wait to eat here again!“

“Chef Elmer made our tasting experience 1000/10. Wedding planning is stressful enough and he made making the dinner menu a breeze!! He’s super accommodating and very very nice will always recommend! And will 100% be back in the future when visiting Hawaii. Thank you again you’re the best!!“

“amazing watermelon lemonade!!! love it!“

“Literally best pizza on island! The options are wild! If you like spicy, I highly recommend the chipotle chicken pizza w/ bacon🤪❤️“

“The full sized sub is massive! Like massively awesome. Totally worth $19. It was basically 4 meals! Super tasty. I tried the Wahiawa sub with their papaya dressing. Nice subtly sweet creamy flavor that adds. I’ll be heading back to try the Italian soon.“

“I Love it 🥰 I will be going all the time I pass through“

“Ordered on Friday, received on Monday! Adobo is delicious 🤙🏾“
