50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants near Waimanalo

“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.“

“After spending the morning at Kaiona Beach Park with my cat, Laki, we stopped by Keneke’s for lunch and had such a wonderful experience. The outdoor seating area felt very pet-friendly, and everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming 🐾

I ordered the Coconut Shrimp lunch special, and it was honestly some of the best coconut shrimp I’ve had on Oʻahu. The shrimp were incredibly crispy, packed with real coconut flavor, and clearly made fresh to order. It took a little longer to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

The lunch special came with rice, macaroni salad, and a drink for only $13.60, which feels almost unbelievable compared to Waikiki prices these days. The portions were huge!! I ended up taking leftovers home and still had food left in my fridge later that day.

The cashier was especially friendly and welcoming. You can tell this is a place loved by locals, but it also feels comfortable and inviting for first-time visitors.

When we arrived, we were lucky and there was no line. By the time we finished ordering, a crowd had formed behind us, which says a lot about how popular this place is. If you’re visiting around lunchtime, be prepared for a wait, but the food is definitely worth it 🥰😸

We’ll absolutely be back. Mahalo! 🌺

“Very good food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The ABSOLUTE BEST BURGER! In Waikiki! Hand packed, fresh ground delicious goodness, with phenomenal sides... fries/onion rings... my wife and I had almost all of their menu, in the midst of normally avoiding burgers... afterall I can have that at home, in a city with so much choice... we found ourselves going back again and again... just delicious.“

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

“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.“

“Our first authentic shave ice and it blew away our expectations! Delicious, fresh, and the best sweet treat!“

“I bought donuts that are really great! The best I’ve had ! All so fresh and delicious- You get to watch your donut being made- I would go back every day- My boyfriend said this- put the donut in your mouth, sip Kai coffee- then swish it around and swallow— enjoy for 15 seconds- then enjoy all the sugar and flavors around your teeth-then enjoy the flavors between your teeth-enjoy for 45 seconds- then think about going back for another!!! The service is impeccable! I’ll be back!“

“Going to Jane's Fountain felt like I traveled back in time to one of those old school diner places. On that day, I had the Hamburger Steak. It is one of the best on the island. My only complaint was that there was only one hamburger patty. I would definitely pay extra for the 2nd patty.“

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

“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.“

“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 Best Rockstar place on Oahu!“

“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!“

“If your looking for a good gluten free place this is the place for you, my sister has celiac and it’s always hard to find places but this place was perfect near our hotel, very filling waffles and you walk out feeling healthy with there organic options, it’s a small place but I felt the Hawaii experience dining outside, I highly recommend them if u have celiac disease“

“If you are looking for the best poke on Oahu, K.Bay Bros Fish and Ice is the spot. The quality is unmatched—the fish is incredibly fresh, the cuts are perfect (great texture, no stringy pieces), and the flavors are perfectly balanced. Everything we tried was just ridiculously good. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“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:))“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“So delicious“

“Franceska is wonderful and did such an amazing job on decorating a cake for my wife and sister-in-law. Cannot recommend her cakes enough for those who have gluten, dairy, and other dietary needs/ preferences. We had the double layered strawberry guava cake with coconut icing. Also added fruit and flours to the top. Such a treat :)“

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

“Appealing, on the healthier side, delicious breakfast place.
They have limited options but available options are unique and yummy.
The service is bit on the slow, if you have a party of three, they still serve one person at a time. So plan your time well.
But the breakfast is awesome.
Highly Recomended !!“

“Excellent food with a really creative menu. Malia always makes the best plated presentations.“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

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

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

“Everything inside is 100%… but if you’re waiting for your food/drink outside the doors… be prepared to smell the bodily fluids of the mentally ill humans who patrol the area, and bring bug spray to fight the flees and bug bites that follow those smells around. I waited for 2 minutes outside and my legs are covered. Ambiance and experience of a great cafe unfortunately ruined by the area it’s in.“

“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❤️“

“My family and I visited the winery on the last day of our trip (11/1/26), it was a wonderful experience! Our server, Lalo, was fantastic. He walked us through the multiple wine profiles, helping us explore the different flavors. We were impressed by both Lalo’s outstanding service and the unique flavors of the wines.

Choosing our favorites was not easy. Some of our favorites included the Pineapple, Boysenberry Lavender, Dubai Chocolate, and POG.We earned a 20% discount.

During our visit, we located the scavenger hunt item, making the experience even more memorable. It was a fun and unique family memory that we’ll cherish for years to come.

However, as of this review, I noticed that we were charged for 6 bottles instead of 5 bottles, due to the scavenger hunt. Hopefully we can get this corrected.

For a fun winery experience with great wines, excellent service, and a little adventure, visit Oneo Winemaking. We’re so glad we did!“

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

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

“Everything was so beautiful and intimate!“

“This place was recommended by a foodie friend of mine so I expected it to be good, but no, good doesn’t do it justice. The oat milk latte was glorious and the mango scone delicate, very lightly sweet and the perfect accompaniment to the latte. Service was friendly and helpful.“

“Do not go here. I'm only writing this because they deserve it. I get tired of people that rave about and mob a place that they know nothing of. Equally disgusting are the people (you know who you are) that buy one manini thing and leech off a place for hours; pay for the time you take from these hardworking people and buy something hourly. Also, check attitude at the door, yeah? Excellent place, attention to detail, quality products - are they the bestest? No, but the fact you gotta think about it should say something. B+ to A- easy.“

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

“OMG!!! From the AMAZING service from the chef/owner to the sweet tea 🤤, all the way down to the incredibly flavorful chicken nestled between a homemade biscuit and topped with THE freshest country gravy around… this was SIMPLY the BEST Southern food I’ve had in a LONG time!!!

Coming all the way from the Carolinas, I know a thing or two about good Southern cooking, and this place DID NOT disappoint! The food, the hospitality, and the flavors were all on point!

Y’ALL, THIS PLACE IS A MUST-TRY!!!“

“There is seating and you can bring about four or five people per table. There’s also seating outside. It’s a really cool area of dying with family, friends or coworkers and also there is parking lots of parking right behind. It is literally connected within the storage building. literally it is located across McKinley high school’s football field. It is such a jam. They have really good fish there. The ambience is calm. It’s pretty quiet and next-door they have other high-end restaurants. This is a really good area to be in if you want to hang out with people visiting and or just bonding.“

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

“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!“

“I love the vibe of this place the 2 separate seating rooms is very helpful. there’s a good amount of seating inside but it can get VERY busy very fast. Despite the busyness the service is always super friendly and pretty fast. You can also buy their house syrups among other things. I love the very unique drinks and the banana bread is literally one of the best I’ve ever had.“

“The famous portugese doughnut aka malasadas in hawai. Its my first malasadas in hawai. Its totally yummy

Its cake-doughnut and so soft. My favorite is Li-hing malasadas. Totally amazing flavor and cant find it somewhere else.

The staff is friendly and helpful.“
