We were walking by the boardwalk and saw this café and had to stop by. We had to try dole whip, which was amazing, but they have great selection of smoothies, quick bites, and açai, oceanfront, dining, great views of Honolulu city. Highly recommend. read more

I was looking for the best of both worlds - food and sunset on the beach. Definitely found it here. The menu is quite diverse with a variety of breakfast items, handhelds, and plates, I opted for the burger with avocado , no bun, it was cooked well and tasted nice. I had a choice of fries, sweet potato fries or salad for my side. The salad was fresh. While I didn't have any, there are numerous desert options from ice cream and cheesecake to Dole whip. There was a long line but it moved quickly and I was sitting on the beach (right in front of this establishment) in time for sunset. read more

We walked down Kalakaua to check out the Barefoot Beach Cafe since we were planning to come here for dinner the next day since we heard it was right on the water and had beautiful views of Kūhiō and Waikiki Beach. Unfortunately, there is some construction happening right next to it so the solid fencing is blocking the beautiful views of Waikiki. The patio seating is very small too. We were very disappointed and decided to skip the cafe for dinner the next night. On the plus side, they did have live entertainment and the musician was very good. read more

I tried the fish and chips, french toast, açaí bowl, and loco moco and everything was beautifully presented and delish! Don't expect to be blown away by the food but the views and vibes are immaculate! Recommend 4.2/5 read more

Very disappointed with the green salad, old mushy lettuce wreaking of bacteria, I had to toss it. Waste of my money. I ordered the vegan burger, I had way better than this one here. Not at all like the description in the menu. The only good thing was the onions and tomatoes were fresh. Curried pattie was bland and mushy. I work in hospitality, and this is one of the restaurants I have on my list as a recommendation to our guests, definitely will make mention of this to our guest. The cashier was friendly. read more

Food was really great here overall and they have tasty shaved ice but please be aware of the PIGEONS! If you leave your food out they will come and get it quickly. They attacked my friends plate when she left it to go get her drink and they had so many birds fly over there and get the rest of it. The waiter had to come get the birds to go away. I loved the food though and the set up was super cute. Go here for breakfast or brunch! read more

Barefoot beach cafe is a staple when spending a day in Waikiki. You can't get better views than this. Although there's som construction work happening next store, they keep the space clean and inviting. I've been to Barefoot Beach Cafe so many times and try to order something different every time. The tacos were small but had great flavor, I forget what the slaw mixture was on the inside but it tasted so fresh and the salsa added a nice spice. The burger was great and we really enjoyed the salted sweet potato fries. Service as usual was friendly and ordering was easy. I've noticed the fresh caught fish of the day has been swordfish almost every time I've visited, which does raise my alarm of "is it really todays fresh caught fish" or is this a pretty regular staple that they keep around? But never the less anytime I've had it, it is good. Maybe they have a good swordfish fishing spot. read more

When I received my order, my french fries were cold. I went up to as said "I am so sorry but my fries are really cold - is it possible to get some warm ones?" The guy dispensing drinks who took my plate laughed at me, handed it to the girl plating food who also laughed, and when she tried to hand it to the cook, the cook wouldn't take it the first time and then finally did. (Still no words spoken back to me), I'm pretty sure they took my fries and put them back in the fryer because when they came back out, they were piping hot and slightly overcooked/burned. I'm really not sure how this place gets such good reviews other than the ambience is nice. - Unless the reviews are fake. My husbands overcooked shrimp meal had two long pieces of HAIR in it. Ehhhhh!!!!! Don't waste your money unless you earn a drink and to stay in the beach! Never a word spoken or even a smile back from staff. *edited posts reply* the issue wasn't really the cold fries. That's no big deal and it can easily happen if you're waiting on other plates to be done. It was the horrible customer service- they literally laughed at me- and the whole exchange happened without them, saying a single word back to me. A refund wouldn't have even been possible given they wouldn't talk to me. read more

A cute spot right on Waikiki Beach! The smoothies are very yummy! We went back the next morning for breakfast since they have a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. I ordered the vegan scramble. It was okay, just a bit bland in terms of flavor. I also ordered the garlic fries. Oh man - these were a garlic lovers dream! So delicious and would definitely order these again. The person taking out order behind the window was very outgoing and kind. read more

I have to say that this place was impressive for the quality of the food. It's basically a shack by the beach and you sit outside and eat your food. We got the fish and chips and an order of garlic fries. The portions are enormous more than enough for two. The batter on the fish was a little thicker than I like but very crispy and delicious. Parking available on the street. Recommend. read more

I am back home visiting and was walking along the Waikiki shoreline walk. I ran across this place. First I thought it was a touristy type place but noticed locals having lunch too. Ordered a pineapple smoothie and poki bowl (local style seasoning and not all that creamy sauce type) . The poki bowl was good kine grindz. The smoothie came in a real pineapple which I stared at for a few seconds. It was a good quencher. Was kinda pricey but this is Waikiki. I'd go back again. Very relaxing and nice views of paradise read more

I've been here dozens and dozens of time. It's a great quick stop on the beach. But I have to warn everyone that veggie burger was weird. Bad. It is accompanied by gluten-free bun, which they do not mention on their online menu. Other vegetarian options are really good and I would highly recommend this place. Just stay away from the veg burger. Gross. read more

While this place may have the ambiance you are seeking, casual, beachfront, it TRULY lacked in customer service. I was super excited to dine here based on recommendations from locals. We got there at 7:40 pm. The line was long. However, I was sure we'd order before 'last call'... Well..... that did not happen. Finally got to the window AT 8:29 and could not order. The staff was extremely dismissive about the whole thing. They even claimed they were all new, had one day training AND there was no manager there. They could have easily made an announcement well before 8:30 when they saw there amount of people in the line and the rate of speed the line was moving. There was no accountability nor apologies. read more

Came back because the food was good and at a good price, but once again the service was absolutely awful. There was a young lady taking orders. She snapped at the customer in front of us for asking for utensils. No smile, no greeting. I asked what she would recommend and she said "JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT" and rolled her eyes. I asked to see the manager and she said there was no manager on duty. I would NOT recommend coming here. The service is horrendous. They need to find better front of house ASAP. read more

The food was delicious & reasonably priced, but unfortunately the cashier had an attitude when I sent my burger back because it had some kind of sauce on it that was not listed on the menu. Of course, if it had been disclosed as having what looked like thousand island, I would have ordered it without, but it wasn't listed. The cashier double checked the menu (I guess to make sure I wasn't lying), then rolled her eyes, and reentered my order. Definitely could have had better customer service. read more

Loved that it is right at the beach, away from the main crowds, has good music from local artists in the evening, and the food is great with good value. Fish and chips are recommended as well as their fish of the day. We went several times and always enjoyed it. You can sit, eat and linger read more

Returned to try dinner around 6pm and was thrill to hear their nightly entertainment. They sounded great in front of the sun setting in the back drop. The food was great as usual and the gentleman helping was very nice and gracious. This has to be one of the best view of any restaurant and for the price it's a the best deal in Waikiki. Please remember to tip the nightly entertainment! They are there for your pleasure so don't be cheap!!!! read more

We were walking along the beach walkway and discovered this super cute cafe. Then we decided to come and have an early dinner here. The food and drinks on the menu was super reasonable for it being in waikiki. That already was a big plus for me. We ordered fish and chips, the cheese burgers, and 2 Loco mocos. Fish and chips were crispy and big. The Loco moco was alright, we thought the gravy tasted weird. It had a heavy taste of soyu sauce. It kinda threw us off. I love how the restaurant sit right infront of the beach. Beautiful view! Definitely coming back for the smoothie menu. It looked good. read more

Heard lots of good reviews. But was shocked at how horrible the customer service was. The older lady that took our order was extremely disrespectful and just overall rude. The really set the tone for our evening. The food was good would definitely recommend the steak plate. Good price for the Waikiki area, coming from a local. I went back for dessert and She gave me attitude when asking what flavors of ice cream sandwiches they had she groaned and rolled her eyes at me. I'll definitely come back a different day hoping for a different cashier. read more

There is no way to wash your hands here (no hand sanitizer, no soap; I asked about both) so I didn't get food. Closest bathrooms are ran by the city and also have no soap. Not providing soap for customers is seemingly a health code violation, so I figured they would be fine ignoring other health codes too. Also, I have good hygiene so I wash my hands before I eat. I was disappointed because this place was highly recommended. My partner did eat. Service was quick and friendly and my partner really enjoyed their food. Nice location and view. read more

Had the best smoothie I've ever had (the Lava Flow)! Food was great. Live music was great. It's right on the beach so we enjoyed the view while we ate and listened to music. There is also a small breakwater just a few feet from the cafe that you can walk out into the bay. We saw several varieties of fish including the Hawaii state fish... the Hunuhununukunukua'paa! read more

Came here during sunset which they have live music from 5:30-8:30 pm daily. Its busy and there was a constant stream of people. It's right next to the beach and the views are gorgeous! Sunset was beautiful as well. They were sold out of various foods which they had listed on the chalk board. Food was reasonable and were decent sized portions considering its in Waikiki and on the beach. We tried the fish and chips and fresh fish sandwich. The fish was cooked well and everything was made fresh. We came on a Monday. The live Hawaiian music and hula dancing was awesome as well. I loved that random people requested songs and danced. It was fun to watch people of various ages dance. There was even an 87 yo who danced! We would definitely return. read more

Super easy to miss, Barefoot Beach is tucked away beyond Waikiki Beach with a great ocean front view. It's a casual quick-service place which is great for those seeking an ocean view eatery without the formality of a sit-down. We got the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken plate and the Garlic Shrimp. The BBQ chicken was cooked well and had good flavor. But the real star was the garlic shrimp. I got it spicy and you can get either 6 or 9 pieces. The sauces was soooo good and addicting. It was creamy and buttery with a slight kick. And with the extra sauce you can add it to your rice and enjoy that amazing sauce. We went on a Friday late afternoon/early evening and they had live music too. The band+the beautiful ocean views make this place a great gem of a spot! read more
