We sat on the outdoor covered table -- just a note -- no alcohol at these tables. We had fish and chips, and their Hanalei Moa sandwich, which were both very tasty. Good service! We had passed by this place before when we wen to the shops at the Old Hanalei School, and we were glad we finally ate there.

I was hesitant but husband persisted. I'm glad I gave in to this very nice restaurant that I originally wanted to bypass. Wow, the food was great, Mia ties (sp?) tasty and service awesome! I wish we would have not done Bouchrons twice and given this nice little find the extra business. Next trip we'll have it figured out. Off... More

My husband and I stopped into this cute little spot for a quick bite, and the food was delicious. I got the mahi fish and chips, and my husband got the opa (chargrilled to perfection). The atmosphere was great, too. There is some outdoor seating and a good bar vibe (but not too crazy during dinner hours). We loved it!

Everyone in our group enjoyed our stop here. Its a casual little spot where we came for lunch on the way to the beach. Two in our group had the snapper fish and chips and it was very good. One had the Waldorf salad which was delicious. I had the special sandwich and it was also super tasty. Servers were... More

This restaurant turned out to be a great surprise. After a 3-hour kayak tour we stopped here for lunch. The menu had a good selection of fish and burgers. Most of our group ordered the fish and chips, which were excellent. This restaurant is pretty small, but was worth the small wait.

We showed up on a Saturday night, and the place was packed. There was a 3-piece band playing Hawaiian style (a ukelele, upright acoustic bass, and guitar), with a repertoire of familiar tunes, and most of the people in the place were singing along. The joy was infectious. There was a wait, but we gamed the system and found 2... More

We enjoyed our fish and chips so much that even though we were full enough (the portions were ample) we couldn't resist ordering more. This WAS the best meal we had on Kauai; better than Hukilau which was supposed to be so great and wasn't. Good price here at the HG for a very delicious lunch. Just a tip though--we... More

If you are looking for a casual experience, this is your place. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. There is covered outside area to eat as well. Full bar available with a happy hour.Great salads, shrimp, burgers etc.They serve both lunch and dinner. One side is for takeout as well.

My catch of the day @ $26.95, swordfish came smeared with a mayonnaise based sauce that vaguely reminded me of tartar sauce. When I asked if the sauce was mentioned on the menu our server said no/ she didn't know and offered to get me a new one without sauce; minutes later the plate arrived again with the sauce wiped...

This little place makes their own breads for great sandwiches and salads. I tried the Waldorf salad and the turkey sandwich, both yummy.
