Food was delicious. Chicken Huli Huli was amazing and the pork was savory. Fun place to eat in a fun little town. A lot of locals eat here so you know it's good. Service was good and quick. Try the pickled mango if you're adventurous. read more

Huli huli chicken was amazing. Had it with the katsu and roast pork. Portion was enough for 2 people. Kids loved the fried saimin. Have been wanting a good plate lunch in Kauai but was unable to find it til today. Will definitely come back. There are 4-5 tables inside and 3 outside. read more

We arrived in Hanapepe hungry after a drive up Waimea Canyon. We asked a local about this place and they said it was decent--maybe a B. That was good enough for us. We were hungry and weren't looking for the best Hawaiian food on the island, so we gave it a try. As expected, the food was mediocre, but that's not really what this review is about. It's about the condescending and presumptuous attitude of one of the employees. The woman working the front counter was pleasant, and the experience was perfectly fine until the very end. It was windy outside, so we had been careful with our napkins and trash. Then, before we were finished eating, a sudden gust much stronger than anything before it blew our food and containers off the table. I was disappointed because I was still hungry, but obviously it was our responsibility to clean it up. We immediately got up and started picking up the food, boxes, paper, and plastic trash. While we were literally in the middle of cleaning it up, an employee from the back walked past and said, "You better clean that table," in an obviously aggravated tone. We already were. Then, while we were getting everything back into the boxes so we could throw it away, she came back and made another comment about making sure we didn't let anything blow away--as though we were planning to just leave trash scattered around Hanapepe. It was completely unnecessary, passive-aggressive behavior toward customers who were already doing exactly what she was telling us to do. A minor accident caused by a gust of wind turned into one of the more unpleasant customer-service experiences I've had at a restaurant. I didn't expect perfection from this place, but I also didn't expect to be spoken to like an inconsiderate child while I was actively cleaning up after myself. I could have gone to L&L, gotten equally mediocre food, and probably received better service. I usually prefer supporting small local businesses, but after this experience, I wouldn't recommend this one. read more

We've come back over the years, and Bobbie's never disappoints. It's one our must go to stops when we come to Kauai. Had the huli and katsu (#12) and the pulled pork sandwich today. The sandwich was eaten before I could get a pic...that's how good it is. Always welcomed liked ohana when you come to Bobbie's. Make it one of your places on your way to Waimea...you will be happy you did. read more

Mahalo Bobbie! Really enjoyed the shops in Hanapepe! Cute town! And Bobbie's was a great find after visiting Waimea Canyon! I think we ordered the #9 - Korean chicken and tempura shrimp combo with Mac salad! Mmmm It was definitely for 2 of us to share but still had to order extra Mac of course!!! Auntie was very nice and helpful. Food didn't take long at all! read more

Classic plate lunch spot that gives you generous portion. I loved their Korean fried chicken it tasted similar to the ones form zippys. The roasted pork was sooo good too. If you're hungry for some plate lunch, go try their Korean chicken and roast pork! Ample parking on the street and there are tables and chairs where you can dine in inside & outside the place. read more

Bobbie's - Hawaiian Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

Best meal I've had since I got to Kauai. Portions are generous, everything tastes amazing, food is out in 10-15 min. There's few parking in front or street parking all around. No public restrooms. 3% fee for credit cards. The menus pretty simple. You have your set combos and a few other offerings. You get rice and also choose a side for plates. The fried Saimin was delicious. The Mac salad was enjoyable. There's a fridge with bottled drinks. There's 4 tables with 4 seats each. I'd return here and get the same plates. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful!! You will not be disappointed. Earlier in our trip, we had some very disappointing loco moco at another place. This time, we tried katsu moco, and it was absolutely amazing. This place is also near the Lilo and Stitch mural. Hanapepe inspired the town where the movie takes place. read more

Hands down my favorite meal I had on our trip to Kauai and it's not even close. We shared an 11 and 12 (with my wife and 2 kids). Portion size was good and since we shared it wasn't overwhelming or we didn't waste food. Korean fried chicken I think was the favorite between the four of us and then we all split on the other items. I thought all the meats were absolutely perfect. If you find yourself on this side of the island check the hours and make it happen, absolute slam dunk plate lunch. read more

So many options such delicious food. They also have new floors amazing. A lot of tourists have mentioned that it's the best food they've had since they've been on island read more

Admittedly, I believe I should have ordered something different from this place. Although the one staff working at the front was decently friendly, the fish and chips we ordered was not very well done. The amount of fish was incredibly minimal and was mostly batter. On top of that, the fish itself was not very tasty, the batter was slightly overcooked, and the price was higher than I would have expected for the quality received. We stopped in to see the cute little town that is Hanapepe, and although I believe this town is worth a visit, particularly the street that this restaurant is on, I would not recommend ordering fish and chips from this place. Other dishes may be more recommended and wiser to pick if you are stopping in here for a meal. read more

Bobbie's is full of nostalgia for me; my mom worked at WHS, so when I would go with her to the school, this was my lunch request! I always make it a point to go when I'm on the west side. Food is fresh & delicious. They do get busy, so allow them some time to make your meal perfect. Their Korean chicken & fried saimin is my fav. read more

The entire time we were eating our lunches we were ooo-ing and ahhh-ing at the amazing flavors and sharing bites. I got the chicken katsu sandwich and he got the surf and turf. Cannot describe how much my mouth has been craving food like this all week. Thank you Bobbie's!! read more

Watch out for the Korean Chicken. Once you start eating, you won't be able to stop. And the spices build up as you go. Bobbie's is a fun little place with very helpful staff. read more

Great find for local Hawaiian food in small town called Hanapepe. Walking through the little town, saw all these construction workers sitting outside. First, thought it was a barbershop and realized it's actually a local place with pulled pork sandwiches, local fish, great lunch specials. My number one had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the Cajun Ahi fish special which came with two scoops of rice and a macaroni salad. No restrooms, and the ambience is local so sit outside and don't expect more than one napkin- Bring Cash because they charge a 3% surcharge for credit cards. We definitely will go back for lunch. read more

Bobbie's - Katsu loco mock - Hawaiian Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

Dope little spot. Had the chicken katsu sandwich. Hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever had.

Best meal on the island of Kauai thus far. Order at the counter and then grab a table among the locals. You know this place is awesome if locals eat here. Everything was sooooo good. We just wish it was closer to where we are staying way over in Princeville. It's well worth the drive either way. If you are near here, run, don't walk to the Bobbie's. The chicken was so incredibly tender and flavorful. I want to go back and try the Hulu Hulu chicken and shrimp. The katsu chicken loco moco was heavenly perfection. Also loved the chicken katsu. Yes please, give me more. Reasonable prices as well. It was under $40 for two. read more

Positives: Friendly staff, fast, large portions for the price here ($17.95 for each out of entrees). Cons: I am confused by all the amazing reviews about the food. It's just not good. Not inedible, but doesn't even rank above fast food chains. Had #9 chicken and tempura shrimp- both dry, minimal flavor and not enjoyable. Ended up eating the rice and noodles only. read more

The food was very good, I got plate 9 with Korean chicken and tempura shrimp. Each plate comes with rice and a side; i chose mac salad. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was sketchy but mostly good. read more

The teri beef, shrimp tempura, ono, were all so yummy. The mac salad was just okay. Cash only and it may take a bit for your order. There's only a few seats inside but we walk crossed the hanapēpē bridge and ate our food there. The Auntie working here is so sweet too! read more

I don't usually write reviews of any kind especially food but I was really impressed with the Korean fried chicken/teri beef plate me and my g/f shared here. The chicken was a mixture of crispy skin along with bite sized pieces of chicken that combined with the Korean sauce tasted ono. The thin slices of teriyaki beef were flavorful, just like da kine grandma would make. Even the rice was nice and firm grains that weren't too soft or undercooked, just right. Combined with the teri sauce drippings from the meat, mmmm. Topping it off was the side of fried saimin that made the meal complete. Check this place out, I doubt you'll be disappointed . read more

We were able to park right in front as Bobbie guards her spaces for her establishment. This was helpful as it was a busy day and the whole street was very full. This is a modest looking place in downtown Hanapepe. It has a bench and a few two seater's outside and a few four tops inside. There are no public toilets and no AC. We were very comfortable though inside. When we ordered we had so many questions that were patiently answered. You order at the counter and she gives it to you in to go containers. You pick your drinks from the refrigerator on the right of the establishment. She is an active member of her community and was telling us if a fishing tournament for the kids they were organizing. Now to the food. The Huli Huli chicken was spectacular! Not dry, extremely flavorful! The macaroni was creamy and delicious. The chicken katsu was light and moist. I would recommend this locally owned establishment. read more

Bobbie's is a plate lunch spot located across the street from a popular Japanese restaurant (Japanese grandma). We started our food affair at the Japanese place first followed by Bobbie's. We definitely could have just eaten at one place, but we wanted to try as much food as we could on our trip. I will say I much preferred Bobbie's! The food was fresh and packed with flavor. The portions were huge, so you get a good value. read more

This is our go to spot in Hanapepe for lunch. Great plate lunches with good portions and reasonable prices. I have never left hungry. My go to's are the Korean Chicken Plate (good crisp and flavor) and their Teriyaki Chicken Plate (lighter and juicy). I know that they have other good stuff but I like what I like. Special shout out to their homemade garlic parmesan dressing for the salad - wow delicious. Remember to bring cash as I do not think they take credit. read more

I wish we had had more time to enjoy our visit to Bobbie's, but our grab and go order was enough to leave a lasting impression. My husband and I lucked out to find that Bobbie's was still open when we arrived and placed an order of fried saimin to go before they were about to close. Had I not already eaten, I would've definitely ordered more, as other customers' plates looked so good! Our order didn't take too long and I was pleasantly surprised to feel how heavy the seemingly small box was! Not to mention, it was hot and fresh and smelled delicious. I could hardly wait to sit down and dig in. When I popped the lid open, I was greeted by a mountain of saimin with sliced fish cake and generous green onion. The first bite was a welcome reminder that sometimes the simplest things could taste the best. This small order lasted me and my husband multiple meals and I looked forward to eating it every time. I hope to visit again and try more items on Bobbie's menu! read more

Bobbie's - Small order of fried saimin - Hawaiian Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! We stumbled upon Bobbie's by accident, and it turned out to be one of the best surprises we've ever had! We tried the roast pork, huli huli chicken, katsu chicken, Korean chicken, mac salad, and saimin -- and every single bite was amazing. We honestly couldn't stop eating, even after we were full! Cindy was incredibly welcoming and such a pleasure to chat with -- she really made the experience even better. Highly, highly recommend! You will not be disappointed! read more

Bobbie's is a nice local spot located on the main drag in Hanapepe Kauai. If you want authentic local food, Bobbie's is a great place for lunch. Food and service are excellent. I got the teri beef sandwich and samin noddles and was in heaven. My plate lunch was absolutely fantastic and I would definitely order it again. You know it's good when the local construction workers and police officers are eating here and they have very good taste. You can take the food to go or eat at one of the tables inside or outside. The staff is excellent and helpful if you have questions or if you can't figure out what to order. Support local! read more

Got the katsu loco moco. It was absolutely to die for. 2nd time here in Kauai and it was possibly the best food I've had. Lady at the counter was extremely polite and our food came out very quick and hot and fresh. We almost went to the place next door and couldn't have been happier with how it worked out. Definitely stop here, you will not regret it. read more

Food is 9 out of 10, service was 8/10 and ambiance is a hole in the wall. This is a must go too. Take the time to stop and check out all the flavors. Bad news: they are only open from Monday through Friday, 10-2:30 read more

This was my second trip here and it's a tasty joint with local eats. It's in Hanapepe, a little spot surrounded by shops to go check out or if you're passing by on your way to/from Waimea. There are a bunch of box options and mix plates if you can't make up your mind like me. Everything I had was delicious! *only takes cash read more

I so wanted this to be awesome. Love local grinds and hidden gems. While Bobbies is solid local eats, and friendly woman at the counter, the atmosphere is in desperate need of a major makeover. Outside building is light green, inside walls and floor are dirty light green. It's like coming into an old rundown hospital. They say you eat with your eyes before your mouth, and never was this more true here. For now sadly this is a pass. read more

Bobbie's - Korean chicken with rice underneath and pulled pork with gravy on top, noodles. - Hawaiian Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

Awesome food and portion size. We had the Korean chicken and fried noodles and katsu. the brownies also were a plus.

Best valued meal we've had in our Kauai trip. Stopped by here at 1pm Monday. Parked down the street. Wife ordered the $12.95 number 10, and I ordered the $12.95 number 4. 15 minute wait said the staff. Cash only, no indoor dining, only two tables outside, both occupied. All food comes in take out containers with one plastic fork. We lucked out as one table being vacated after we waited 20 minutes for our food. The two pieces of teriyaki beef were sliced thin, with plenty of sauce to keep them from drying up. The beef was tender enough to cut with my fork on one end, and my teeth grasping the other end, and biting down. The two tempura shrimp were on the thin side, but tasted good nevertheless. The two beer battered ono had bit too much coating, with hollow areas inside -not much fish. Went well with the tartar sauce. Loved the macaroni salad, which didn't have too much mayo. Wife liked her roasted pork but thought the sauce had too much salt. Sauteed mushrooms were fine. All meat and fish dishes come with a bed of white rice underneath to bulk up the food. But you can't go wrong for $13! At that price, no bathrooms available for customers. read more

A fantastic place for local affordable eats. My partner and I split the Huli Huli chicken and though the portion/price was fantastic and we were able to take this meal with us outside. There's not a ton of tables inside, so it's really more of a takeout/grab and go place. Service was reasonable. I *think* it was cash only, so just be aware. Next time, I want to make sure we try the fried saimin! A little sad we missed out on that. There's some really cute bookstores across the street and the little town is so cute, so plenty to check out if you stop here for lunch! read more

11-9-21 first time here; Doc gave me the heads up since she knew we would be in Hanapepe to visit her fraternal grandparents' grave. Both sister-in-laws could join us so we treated. No indoor dining but we took it to go and had a picnic in the pavilion by the Hanapepe Stadium. There is only regular size, no minis. His sisters are petite and tiny eaters. We on the other hand are heifers and can chow down on good local plate lunches or bentos. Would definitely come back when we visit again. read more

The chicken was mostly fat, not good at all. Not even sure what cut of teriyaki chicken it was. Lots of skin.
