We have been to several recommended restraunts from Tropical Burgers to the Tidepools at the Hyatt and hands down, Kalapaki Joe's has the best Mai Tai ever! Happy hour price is only $5.00 and regular price $7-$8.00 for a full pint glass. Food is good at a good price. Open air and sports bar atmosphere. Sometimes understaffed but great over... More

Open air, extensive menu with bar food or dinners. Large quantities and good service. We went at lunch and they could handle a large group easily.

We ate here twice when we were in this area. The first time was after arriving late and because this area doesn't have tons of restaurants and very few places to eat late we took a chance and stopped. This is a sports pub and serves pub food. That said, they have a good selection of items and the salad... More

The staff was friendly but were overextended. Food quality was very low. Spoiled tomatoes on both salad and sandwich. We won't be going back!

It wasn't the best. It's more like what you'd get at a chain restaurant like Chili's, but it was still very reasonably priced I felt. We went during happy hour after initially eating there (I had a pork cobb salad, yum!), and we got a ton of food for really cheap comparatively! We could have ordered less and we'd have... More

We went for the Happy hour and they had a huge menu to choose from. 25 cent wings and $3 fish tacos were a great start. Yes this place is not high end, but for those travelling on a budget, or just like good old bar food, this place definitely met those expectations.

This place was recommended by people at the hotel. Located on a golf course, the ambiance was great - coffee was not. Moderately priced.

My food tasted like it had been sitting out 4 hours before I had ordered it. My drink tasted like water, and I ordered an alcoholic beverage! There are too many great places to eat, why would you want to eat this crap? You can microwave food that tasted better than this place, no lie. Don't waste your money here,... More

One of the best happy hours in the area, both price and food. Dinner was also a great value and very good. Our servers, Nicole and Yizo provided exceptional service. Compared to other restaurants in the area they provide the best value for your money with quality food and service.

Great menu selections and the food was fresh. The staff was friendly. Try the local beers on tap! The baby back ribs were excellent.
