50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waimanalo

“Stopped in for some lunch with my wife. Excellent service, excellent food. Great place.“

“Wonderful and friendly. The waffles are some of the best I’ve ever had. The Kailua Pork Quesadilla was amazing as well. Manu was so friendly and after a nice conversation he gave a little speech and blew the conch as a blessing for our recent marriage.“

“BBQ Porto Sandwich was amazing!“

“I visited for the first time in February of 2023 and loved it. We didn't have an agenda other than to relax. Getting ready to make our second trip next month. Is it fancy? No, but the peace is worth more than gold. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay....wait, why am I telling you all about this place? I'm sure you can find a better place to suit your needs and desires. This probably isn't what you're looking for. I hear that the military resort in Korea is nice. You should check it out.“

“Absolutely delicious! The tamales are the best I’ve ever tasted. The combo plates with El pastor, Asada, or birria are a must-try. Sandy takes quality seriously and meets every need. Highly recommend this food truck for authentic Mexican food!“

“Perfect place to grab a bite when you’re near Waimanalo Beach. It was refreshing to see some good old school prices for some good old school food. I ate their 2 cheeseburger deluxe + drink for $10.

It reminded me of a headline I saw floating around the internet that 2 cheeseburgers is better than eating 1 cheeseburger and 1 medium fries because you double your protein while cutting own carbs and you’re more full at the end. I don’t think that’s why they made this meal deal but I’m so glad they did.

It tasted like that classic Hawai’i burger. I would get it again but I want to try their plate lunches next time.“

“The attention to quality and detail made for the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The crispy cheese slider was over the top. The chicken taco meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly. This is the kind of food I’d fly back to Hawaii just to eat.“

“Came here for breakfast and ordered a bowl of wonton saimin. The broth was light and comforting, while the noodles were pleasantly chewy. I enjoyed the wontons, which were perfect “one-biters,” well-seasoned, and delicious. Service was friendly and engaging. The place has history and has been around for a long time, making it fun to visit and see locals enjoying their meals. Parking can be difficult, but it is worth it for the food. Also, it's cash only so leave the cc tuck away.“

“No waiting early morning dining! Great service! Yummo food!“

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.“

“Highly highly recommended! Amazing workers, I got engaged and he was so happy for us! I couldn’t have asked for better donuts or service!“

“Very good food.“

“we were in Hawaii for 5 days and got these cookies 3 times. they are so good. I wish they had the brownie cookies available too I would buy them again now that im home. they are amazing.“

“The service is excellent, but the food is incredible! A place I’d totally recommend! The burger is simply perfect — juicy and cooked just right. My favorite: the pineapple burger 🤤. The chicken sandwich is wonderfully crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This is definitely a place I’d come back to. Highly recommended!“

“Our son took us there when we were visiting. Best coffee I have ever had. Never bitter“

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))“

“The most amazing hidden gem. If you’re craving some southern food on Oahu, especially a good brunch, this is it! My favorite is the bacon egg n cheese biscuit with a side of gravy and a side of grits. Get there early if you want grits, they run out! Been here twice already and can’t wait to go back!“

“This was the first place we stopped to eat lunch at when we got to Waikiki and it did not disappoint! As soon as we walked in, the manager Christine was welcoming and made us feel like we were family! The burger was sooooo good! We will definitely be back for sure!“

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!“

“awesome food, quick courteous service, friendly, good prices, busy but organized, could see the teamwork and they all danced in unison 5.0 stars“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

“Amber- the co owner, is absolutely astounding. Super super friendly, and If you have any questions on any of the food she has the knowledge of it all! Location is perfect as there is a bunch of seating area around and always good jams playing in the background. The food taste AMAZING, I recommend trying the B.E.A.S.T DELICIOUS“

“Great distillery tour at a cool & unique place! Top notch booze 🥃 Highly recommend the old fashions!“

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.“

“I came to Hawaii and had a lot of food. This was the only thing I’m reviewing so far because it was delicious and the price was awesome and the people were so nice. The drinks here may have been better priced than even where I’m from in Ohio. Highly recommend the brown sugar milk tea, and the strawberry sago. AND they’re open late, perfect for drinks after the beach“

“The food was very good, wife love the ice cream on her French toast.“

“I ordered the regular 4 cheese melt 9$ with tomato soup 6$, very delicious and cheesy no complain they were very welcoming and quick . Would definitely encourage you to taste if you are in the area. Tomato soup was amazing combination with the grilled cheese. Limited space to eat but nothing to complain about.“

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“This is a gem of infinite value!!!! If you want the freshest poke in a variety of styles and choices then this is the place! Excellent! So good that we ate everything we bought then without hesitation we drove back and got double our first order, then we went back the next day! Try the scallops and the Salmon!“

“Great service tasty lobster cheese burger and buttery lobster roll.“

“It was delicious. Go here. you won't regret it.“

“One of top places I miss being able to walk to for lunch when I worked in downtown. The noodles are bouncy and delicious and definitely fill you up. They’re quick, courteous, and very affordable for the quality of food. So thankful they’re open weekends even in the downtown location. Strongly recommend!!“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere every time. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Great food and great staff!“

“I came here on 2 seperate occasions and I have a mixed rating for it.

I would say the food is excellent. Very very good stuff.... but the wait time is atrocious.

I had an aloha smash burger, a loco Dog, and a chicken sandwich on the 2 trips. The food was fresh, great tasting and the fries were outta this world tasty.

Now onto the issues. I work in the food industry and have ran pretty much every cuisine under the sun. I have done so for 15 years and I think the wait times are ridiculous. Both times I went there I literally had to wait 50 minutes one night and an hour and 10 minutes the next night for food.

I would have just gotten a refund and went somewhere else if other places were open because while the food is absolutely top notch, the wait times make it not worth it and there wasnt many people ahead of us either of those times. 7 customers first night, 9 customers the longer night.

I understand they are working out of a small area with limited resources but it seems as though they have outgrown their space. 50-70 minutes for a burger, fries, and hot dogs is ridiculous any way you slice it.

Those guys are working hard and they're ingredients are fresh but from one chef to the next, you need to expand to a new area to allow yourself to grow. Working off of a small flat top and a table top plug in deep fryer will not being able to keep up with the demand and im hoping for the sake of your restaurant, it doesn't tarnish your reputation because as I said above..The food is phenomenal and these guys can cook up a mean dinner.

Only issue is they are holding themselves back from moving to the next level with the small space and crazy wait times.

When you can only do one ticket at a time because of limited space, the current work model isnt going to work out long term. I dont mind a wait for good food but I have to admit, this was the longest wait time Ive ever experienced for food in any setting.

I hope you guys live long and prosper because you know how to cook some great food. Take the risk and jump into a bigger space, I have faith you will be successful.

Only hesitation I have in returning again in the future is placing an order at 9pm but not being able to eat until after 10pm even if the food is phenomenal.“

“Food is ALWAYS delicious and the staff is so kind and attentive! Katsu-san creates the most beautiful sashimi platters and omakase sushi!“

“Everything on the menu is onolicious and what makes it even better is the ohana that makes you feel right at home. Well worth the drive from the west side. 😋😉 Don’t forget to pick up a tray of butter mochi too!!“

“Such a hidden gem on Kapahulu Ave! I stopped by during a food tour (right near Ono Seafood and Leonard’s) and was so glad I did. I had the cold brew with coconut cold foam- the flavor profile was smooth, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. My friend was torn between the rose matcha and honey matcha, and the barista went above and beyond by mixing the rose and honey syrups (even though it wasn’t on the menu!) so she could enjoy the best of both worlds. The matcha itself was fantastic- vibrant, not too sweet, and really well balanced.

The baristas here were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. Honestly, I’d recommend Better Daze over Sunrise Shack if you’re in the area!“

“7 Gradi Gelato at SALT is a must-visit!

Their sorbets are light, refreshing, and completely dairy-free. Perfect if you’re looking for a cool treat without the cream.

I especially appreciated how friendly and helpful the girl working was. She made great recommendations and created such a welcoming vibe.

It was the ideal way to cool off on a hot day in Honolulu.

Bonus- you can sample before committing to a decision!

Pro Tip - get two flavors, you won’t be bummed you did it!

Highly recommend stopping in!“

“Fast, friendly and amazing food. The habanero salsa is perfect on any of their food ❤️“

“I can't say it's very delicious
The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice.
They provide refills for coffee, and the quantity is plentiful. It's a good place. Recommended for those who want a pleasant meal“

“Good food. Delicious breakfast sandwich.“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“The wait was long and more crowded than I would like but it was worth it.“

“so good!!!!! best lobster roll strongly recommended first time trying and i really like it“

“My absolute favorite spot to get coffee and a quick bite. Staff is always very friendly and helpful and the area in the back is soooo cute. Highly recommend! The coffee is also VERY good, they have the best chais out of the other coffee spots I’ve tried not watered down at all and their flavors are so good.“

“Make sure you triple check your oder. Today we ate at the Honolulu Bistro for the first time. The guy at the register claims he didn't rung us up for 2 sandwiches. At checking out he did say back our order. The recipe is not detailed either. The amount we paid was definitely for 2 sandwiches. We ended up sharing 1 sandwich and left.“
