We had Double Bubbas, a side of fries, a side of onion rings, a chocolate milkshake, and a vanilla milkshake. I forgot to take pictures until midway through, because it looked so delicious I just had to dig in immediately.

The food here was good it just needs more flavor. More spice, more heat. There's a lot of things on…read morethe menu that are listed as having some variety of spice but most of the food was on the bland side. It wasn't bad by any means, just mellow when it could've been excellent. Personally I ordered the carne asada nachos. It's a good portion size for nachos - enough for one but not for sharing. They have lots of queso which I liked. It also had a jalepeno lime aioli which could've made the whole dish & sounded so good but was soooooo mild. I wanted more punch! & with the steak saying it's chili marinated, I wanted more heat there too. Again they were good but imo had the potential to be spectacular if they ratcheted the heat up a few notches. The consensus around the table was basically the same thing. Husband got the wings & devoured them but said they were very strong in vinegar so if that's not your jam, don't do the chili peppah water. Nice upstairs open air patio area to sit in but doesn't overlook anything other than the street and other shops. So if you're after a view, this isn't it. Giving four instead of three because of service. We had a little mixup and the manager made sure we were taken care of, even though it ended up being not the restaurants fault at all.

No reservation and we were seated right away inside. They have both inside and outside tables. Inside there were about 7 or eight tables in various configurations. The bartender, Amanda, was taking care of us. She was friendly and helpful. I like sitting inside. There were a lot of people outside. I ordered a Mai Tai with the upgraded rum. Wow it was strong and I loved it. Nice job Amanda. My wife got the fish and chips which were good. She got three pieces of fish. The fries were good , not too fried. I like them more crispy. They seemed to be made in house which is a plus I got the Kalua pork sandwich. Good flavor and I liked it. We had a great time at this place. Good service and the food wasn't bad.

The star of the place is definitely Smash Cafe. I order the OG "Original" SMASH BURGER. There are tables and chairs that are set in the shade as well as friendly chickens to keep you company. Even though it was a food truck they still brought the food to and it was a 10-15 min wait MAX. This has to be the best burger I have had EVER!!! It was so fresh I had to wait a bit for it to cool off. The patties were juicy and crispy along the edges, the truffle aioli worked so well with the cheese and beef flavors. The fries were cooked to perfection as well. I strongly suggest you ask for some extra aioli on the side to dip the fries in. They have other menu items as well like crispy chicken, veggie burgers, and they even have a vegan Beyond Burger. I strongly suggest you give them a try you will not be disappointed.

We also ordered their yummy mochiko chicken, mahi mahi plate, mahi mahi sandwich, and onion rings. Everything tastes great and for the prices of the item was like paying for and receiving a mini plate on Oahu. The shoyu chicken was yummy, it had two pieces, scoop of Mac salad that they made with peas and carrots, and one scoop of rice. My daughter loved the mochiko chicken and my husband enjoyed his sandwich and onion rings. Definitely a good spot to get something small to eat in the middle of the day if you want mini plate portions for a great price.

What we got: Beers: Torah Bun Strong Ale (3.75/5) and Pinneaple Xpress Hazy (3.75/5) both beers were solid. Shrimp Tacos: 3.5/5 - flavor was good but the shrimp are tiny. Would have loved some cotija cheese or something else in addition to the cabbage. Fish Tacos: 4/5 - my partner enjoyed the fish tacos. Chips: 1/5 - definitely lacking. They were dry and really needed salt. The salsa was fine but nothing super memorable. If I came back again, I would try the burgers which looked good or the nachos or loaded fries. If you're looking for a light meal, the tacos will fit the bill.

They have signs on the ground floor telling you to look up. Too funny since i parked on the street and was looking for the place when a worker said it was upstairs. The best place to park is along Koloa Road and take the stairs up and to the left. When I entered the place I liked it right away. The restaurant was so clean and crisp looking. Something about it , was really neat looking. It was Asian ruined. I liked the music they were playing too. A little techno but that soon changed to country ugh. heheh. We were greeted right away and also seated the same. There were only a few tables taken up at this time since it was only half an hour since they had opened. The staff was really friendly and explained the specials and the favorite menu items. There was so much i wanted to try but there were only the wife and I. The wife got the pigs in a blanket. She said the eggs were cooked perfectly, nice and soft. Liked it I started with the special banana bread bites which were yummy. Then I got the pork hash and fried rice. It looked wonderful and tasted great. Loved it. I knew this was the place to go for a fantastic breakfast. We loved it so much we came here , I think 3 or 4 times during our stay. If we lived here they would call us by name. Next time we got the All about the Bennys. The wife got it with pork belly and it didn't disappoint. so good. I had to try the pancakes so I got one Lilikoi It was so yummy and flaky the wife didn't care for the roasted macadamia nuts but I liked them roasted. Had to get the Loco Moco your way. So I got the shaved prime rib. Wow so perfect. Loved the flavor and it sure hit the spot. Next day the wife got the two eggs with bacon and a crispy shredded potatoes which were amazing. Loved the crunchy potatoes. It was her favorite. I got the crispy pulled pork sandwich and it was just ok , it was kind of dry and I had to ask for bbq sauce to get it down. Won't get that again. And of course another Lilikoi pancake. Last trip the wife got the two eggs and bacon with the crispy potatoes. I got the Loco Moco with the beef patty this time. Of course another Lilikoi pancake. Till the next time we are back in Kauai. We will be back. Funny now the staff welcomed us back because we went there so many times. Love the food. A most stop at place.
