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!!!“

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !“

“Great place! Line was out the door. Poke is served both on rice or on fresh salad. The varieties are delicious and all the options are fresh! The staff was extra careful to help with our order and the portions were just right! We loved it!“

“I normally order online, it’s very convenient especially with a big family!

Sometimes, they can get busy which tells you that the food is GOOD! So ordering ahead makes things easier for me. Their website is straight forward, easy to navigate.

I must say they are pretty fast with getting my order packed up & ready! Staff are always very friendly & helpful.“

“Always a family favorite! I grew up eating shave ice here! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Excellent Puertorican cuisine“

“Absolutely my fave coffee farm in island! We go there every year! Amazing atmosphere, cool little store and yummy coffee and treats!“

“the burgers and fries were amazing. I'll be dreaming about them and the bakery items for years to come. such great service staff as well!“

“It is everything and then some. Great experience“

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!“

“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“

“The best shaved ice on the planet!!“

“So it’s like this… Kua ‘Aina Sandwich Shop has got to be the best burger for the job if you’re hungry amidst shopping for all the great gift ideas!! Bacon burger with all the fixings and also with the green chili Tabasco is mayjah and it scratches the itch every time. Really good as a medium rare burger. So juicy!! One of my favs!! Kudos!!“

“The shrimp are huge and delicious and the sauce is just scrumptious!! Salad is very good band they give you a ton of fries!! Reasonably priced! One of my favorites!!“

“Enjoyed our lunch there. Friendly service and good food! Loved the hunk of bread and cinnamon sugar! The Banana bread pudding was delish!“

“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 💚“

“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“

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

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

“This is one of my absolute favorite places to visit! Everything is so fresh & the staff is unbelievably kind. Their croissants are to die for. 🤍 Can’t wait to visit Hawaii again. This little cafe will be a requirement when visiting. 🤙🏼“

“I think this might be one of the best latte-like matches on the island for me.

I liked it more than pono potions and daily whisk. I had the earl grey and the coconut cloud. I actually had them back to back because they were so good I chugged one, turned around, and got another. As someone who detests things that are too sweet - this was the perfect Asian sweetness for me.

Id recommend the coconut cloud for its cream topping!“

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

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“Figured I tried this place on a whim and was surprised with the service, speed and price for the portions. The ice cream and jam that I had in mine were heaping and packed tons of flavor. I think the only detractor I can think of from getting it to a 5 would be the lack of thickness from the crepe. Now most are thin id imagine but I've had a couple in France with similar thickness to a thin pancake. Again this can vary in your mileage so can make this a 5 in ur eyes if u want but yah that's the only thing keeping it from a 5.“

“This place was clean, friendly and had great quick service. My family ordered the Loco Moco platter and loved it, my son had the banana pancakes and said they were the “Best Pancakes” he ever had. I had the Portuguese sausage, eggs and Pancakes. It was great! Definitely shareable as well if you don’t want too much to eat.“

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

“Excellent food truck with flavorful options. I had the surf and turf with a full steak and shrimp portion. The steak was cooked perfectly, although it could have been seasoned better. The shrimp was amazing. Whole large shrimp in an awesome spicy chili sauce. It paired excellent with the rice and potato salad. Will definitely be back!“

“This is such an awesome place for smoothies and boba! My girlfriend and I just went for the first time and had a great experience, the service was very friendly and the drinks both tasted great and had generous portions! Usually whenever we got boba in the area we went to Teapresso but now we’ll definitely be coming back to Win’s next time!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Eat here when you are on Oahu.“

“It's rare to find a place so cheap and yet so delicious! I was dropping off my old man and found out about a unicorn in today's economy a solid breakfast, plate lunch or bento all 20 bucks or less. Now okazuyas been my jam since baby days but this place takes the cake. I got the shock and awe breakfast for 5 DOLLARS! And I'll happily say it again for the people in the back. For 2 eggs a solid set of meat and rice I can't complain. I love my set scrambled and they did it quite well. Outside of the cash only part which id definitely forget going again (which I understand why) its a perfect place for your pre work meal or even during! It boggles me how this place was hated on.“

“amazing watermelon lemonade!!! love it!“

“Awesome people, great food, cold brew, and tasty cocktails! Love this place 😋“

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

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

“Ordered their roast pork and char sui. It is the best! They do run out so it is best to call before heading out in the afternoon; especially on the weekend. (Learned the hardway...picked up after lunch and decided to get more. It was about 3pm - ran out! Maybe had a big take out order?)

There can be a long line and only one person who chops the meat up.“

“All the goods are good like the beef broccoli, lemon chix tbeir fried fish idms woth the extra $,and all the gau mien dishes. I'm hooked on their soft gau gee mien, with the gau gee on the side.“
