    Great neighborhood market to locate local goodies and necessities. Friendly staff and everything in one place, I call that a win!

    All three local favorites

    This review may be a little biased as my cousin works here and we visited this store for the first time ever in all the years coming to Kauai. If we didn't come to visit her, I don't think our paths would've crossed this Big Save location. My thoughts this store is mostly for locals and some tourists that have taken the wrong turn when going somewhere. Big Save Market has many local items you can't buy at the big box stores and also has the standard things you always need. We especially heard about this Hawaiian Frost ice cream and Shaka Pops. If you haven't tried it, I would highly recommend stopping in and buying them. You won't be disappointed!

    **Review is only for the poke in the back**. Price for a poke bowl was excellent and there were lots of different options to choose from. However, the associate that helped me must have been having a bad day or something as she was not very nice or pleasant.

    This review is for their prepared poke. After trying poke from Costco, the Koloa Fish Market, and Leong's in the nearby outdoor mall, we agreed that Big Save was the best! The shoyu and spicy were well seasoned and the tuna cubes were large. And to top it off, theirs was by far the least expensive at $12.99/lb!!

    Big Save?? More like Save Big!!! When on the SouthSide of the Island, this is the place where both the locals and tourists of Poipu do their grocery shopping. Located in the heart of Koloa town, Big Save is a small grocery store that has fair prices for both those that live on and visit the Island. Fresh produce, including fruits native to the island and those of tropical surroundings are readily available here. Beef & chicken from the butcher and fish locally sourced are available from behind the counter or in their self serve grab and go freezer section. Throughout the aisles, you will find all of the typical items you would expect in a grocery store along with a few specialty items that are Hawaiian made or Hawaiian inspired. Beer, wine, and spirits are sold here, so no need to to search for a liquor store while on the island. Lastly, Have your camera ready when you get out of the car as it's not everyday you see chickens and roosters walking around the parking lot like they own the place.

    O Baby!

    In California speak, this is the equivalent of a Ralph's or Stater Bros. Big Save has many of the grocery needs you'd buy on a trip in Kauai (alcohol, seafood, chips, drinks, hiking snacks). This location was conveniently located in the same area as a McDonald's, which is why I stopped by. There's a hot breakfast bar, lunch bar, fresh poke bar, etc if you want to grab a meal instead of going to a restaurant. They also have a variety of Lay's chips that you can't find on the mainland such as Chesapeake Bay Crab Spice flavor! I also bought a $1 water bottle from here, which they have a variety of sizes to choose from. There's also the option to buy a chilled bottle or room temperature one. Note that they have a policy of "No exchanges or returns after 7 Days" of purchase.

The charcuterie board had a nice array of cheeses and meats. It needed more crostini...but I feel like every charcuterie board I've ever had needed more bread! The Cesar salad was great. The flatbread was tasty, with home made tomato sauce and loaded with prosciutto, but it was overly salty. The lamb was excellent, the polenta that went with it was a little dry. The fish had a pesto coating. It was nice but nothing special. The steak was cooked perfectly with a nice crust while the inside was medium rare, and came with delicious mushrooms, potatoes and asparagus. Overall we were very happy. we debated rating this a three or four. It was a bit pricey for what we got, but everything in Kauai is!

It's your one stop shop for drinks of every variety, snacks, musubis and their awesome souvenir tees & hats. I bought 4 tee shirts. 2 were gifts.... They loved the tees as one I gave to my dad.

Not sure, he might be the manager or the owner. He asked us whereabouts we were visiting from and we told him Southern California but that I was originally from San Francisco. He was telling us he used to work the fishing boats up and down the California coast. We enjoyed talking to him and hope to see him when we return next year to Hanalei town. Located right in the middle of town on the main drag along Kuhio Highway. Just after Titus Kinimaka's Quiksilver store and before the plaza BIllabong (AI Forever) is in. Cant miss it.

(they had a wide selection of "Big Seltzer" (Truly, White Claw) though) They do have some decent HI-brewed canned beer though. (such as Maui Brewing's Pilsner, pictured)

Turley, Paul Hobbs, Orin Swift, Lyme Callodo etc. Also good internationals ... Molly Dooker, lots of 90+ Parker wines if your into that. Note not many bordeaux's but high end opus and insignia if u want to splurge. Best part was the wines were very well priced ... Only about $5 more per bottle on the best prices I get at my deep discounters in ca. - defiantly a surprise on the island. They also had a great selection of cigars ...
