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.“

“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.“

“Keneke’s was a good stop for a casual meal. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were really generous. It’s a nice spot with a great view of the mountains, and the prices felt very reasonable. The only downside was that it took forever to get our food, so don’t come if you’re in a rush. Overall, still a solid local place and I’d try it again.“

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

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.“

“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.“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.“

“the cookie corner in Mililani. is the best.“

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

“Very good 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.“

“This is a really large bakery that was recommended to try the Loco Moco - smashed hamburger steak with gravy, rice and egg. A Hawaiian specialty to be had at any time of the day - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don’t knock it till you try it! There was plenty of food, plenty of gravy and the hamburger was great flavour.

There was a queue system with name for the table that didn’t take too long. You can also make reservations.

Food came with their signature fried bread bun and jam (tastes like strawberry ice cream sauce)… delicious but probably soaked in butter!

Staff were great.“

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

“The Best Rockstar place on Oahu!“

“We were in Hawaii for 8 days and ate at Poke Fix three times. The food is great, the people are friendly and they get you in and out quickly. I would recommend them to anyone.“

“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:))“

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

“The first fish I sampled had me ready to buy two bowls immediately. They told me it was “previously frozen fresh” — I don’t even know how that works, but it didn’t matter because it tasted like it was caught five minutes ago by someone who takes their job very seriously.

Then the lady goes,
“Wait, try this one.”

Me: “…Excuse me?”

Next thing I know, I’m leaving with six different pokes, a spam musubi, and this egg-wrapped poke bite that felt borderline spiritual.

If you’re in the area and you don’t come here?
Shame on you.

Best poke on the island.
Staff = incredible.
Food = unreal.“

“Was craving a late night bite and stumbled on this smash burger food stand and wowow one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! (I’ve had everything from McDonalds, In and Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack, Dick’s Burgers, you name it!)

Guys working there were super friendly and accommodating, wait for food was less than 5 mins. 10/10, highly recommend, no other notes“

“Great food and great staff!“

“We had such an amazing breakfast at Aiwi Waffles on our very first day in Hawaii, and it could not have been a better start to our trip.
We ordered the berry medley mochi waffles with cream cheese and added bananas, and it was absolutely incredible. This place makes everything gluten free, whether you want sweet or savory waffles or even just a simple butter waffle, they can do it all. My husband is gluten free, but I am not, and I can honestly say this was the best waffle I have ever had. It was even better than any regular waffle I have tried before. You can really feel that they put their heart and soul into every dish.
The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. Our waitress was genuinely kind, took the time to talk with us, and even recommended places to visit during our stay. That personal touch made the experience even more special.
The prices are very reasonable, and the whole place feels friendly and inviting. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone in Honolulu, gluten free or not“

“So delicious“

“Superior classic burgers, great fries, friendly staff and wonderfully nostalgic setting. Highly recommend!!! 🙌🏼“

“Food was fresh and delicious. The produce they used was amazing quality. They have a lot of good options to choose from and the ordering process was quick and easy. My toddler who is in a picky eating phase loved their scrambled eggs and croffles. They also have the best matcha latte I've ever had, I believe they use a pandan syrup they make in house. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning.“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

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

“Absolutely loved Better Daze Coffee! I got the local honey matcha latte — hands down the best matcha I’ve had so far on my trip. My husband ordered an Americano, and we shared the yummiest bagel with garlic herb cream cheese (seriously, so good!). I only wish they were closer to the strip where we’re staying, because I’d be there every single morning.“

“Everything was so beautiful and intimate!“

“Came in around 7pm today didn’t know what to expect and everything was just great the seasoning of the fried cat fish and the mac n cheese. I haven’t eaten southern food in about 8 or 5 years this definitely hit the spot for the price it was a sure surprise and worth it. Gonna continue to come for more and try more food on the menu.“

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

“The fish was incredible, the hostess was awesome, and it was one of the best meal experiences of my life! Reserve a spot at their omakase and you will have the meal of your life!“

“We went to Marugame twice on this trip.
Best qualify udon and broth.
Loved assortment of tempura.
This location had lunch special under $10 for small udon with one tempura.
Very busy but efficiently running.
Can’t wait to go back!“

“This cafe is fantastic and has all the essentials. Their cortado was tops and their service was fantastic. They also had a French style Canele pastry, which you don't often see. Also love their connection to the local community; They are performing at the top of their craft and would be on normal rotation for me if I lived locally.“

“I got the mixed fruit tea at 50% sweetness and it was perfect. They really know what 50% sweetness should taste like, which is rare. My sister got the classic milk tea and she said she liked the boba’s consistency (soft & chewy). Interior design is so cute! Friendly staff.“

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

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

“Best burritos on the planet!“

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

“The Tropical tribe açaí bowl with power toppings keeps me coming back!“

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

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.“

“This shop is always rotating roasters and coffees they offer. I ordered a pour over with notes of cherry from their adventurous section of the menu (it was very cherry) at the bar and the friendly, knowledgeable baristas brought it to where I was sitting. Good spot to try something new.“

“I meant to write this review a few weeks ago. However, the service was super nice. The two girls working were very inviting. The gelato is super good and creamy and has an almost stretchy consistency. The toasted marshmallow was my fave. Definitely plan on coming again.“

“Only go here if you’re interested in kind of a fancy experience. The lunch experience is about $100 per person. Expect an automatic 20% tip to be added in your bill before you receive it.
Consider this place as your appetizer, but not your full course meal. If you’re really hungry, this restaurant is not for you. It’ll burn a hole in your wallet.
All that being said, they serve fish that I’ve never found in a traditional sushi bar. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the unique flavors that I don’t usually get when I visit Tokyo. The waitress actually explains everything you’re eating. Definitely make reservations, as this is a very small boutique sushi bar with one large table and about half a dozen counter spaces.“

“While on vacation in Waikiki, my family and I were looking for a late night dinner and most places were closed already. But we found Aloha Melt and ordered delivery, and they did not disappoint! We got the Classis Melt and the Patty Melt, along with a Creamy Tomato Soup. Everything was bomb!“

“I highly recommend coming here - especially when Laura is working!! She is such a baddie💪 Highly attentive, VERY knowledgeable about their craft beer, and was super helpful/accommodating with food! We were there to watch a football game, and even though my team played horribly, I still had an amazing time, because of Laura’s hospitality and service❤️“

“First of all, they have to trivia on Tuesdays, which is a pretty cool vibe. I initially stumbled upon this place by going there for an Oktoberfest event, and I've been pleasantly surprised ever since.

The space is very clean, and the coolest part about this shop is their incredible selection flexibility. If you're not digging what they have on tap, you can select literally anything from their massive options in the refrigerators. They will charge you a nominal $2 corkage/service fee to put it into a glass for you to enjoy right there!

Another great feature is that they even have some hard seltzer options if beer and wine are not your thing. It's also conveniently located in SALT Kakaʻako, so the energy and atmosphere around the area are pretty cool.

Definitely a good place to check out for any craft beverage enthusiast!“
