We've been to Princeville-Hanalei a lot and B's is easily among the top places we dine for reliably good food, warm service and lovely atmosphere. The menu is burgers, pizza and pasta--but done very very well so I've never had nor heard of a bad experience. The food is solid and the space is large so they can accommodate a lot of walk ins and large parties. read more

Food was good, the chef did a great job however our server was the weak link. Never checked back with us, the chef was the only one who did. I had to wave down the hostess to get my wife another drink. The server just dropped the check off, we were ready to order dessert, but we were happy to not order due to poor service. This was our second time. Not much has changed from 2 years ago. read more

TL;DR highlights: The food was ok. Pasta good, tad underdone. Lasagna overdone. Do not order the $55 steak. The service was slow. They were understaffed and poorly managing the seating. One waiter was trying to serve tables, seat tables, and run food -- which is impossible. Full review: The best part was the mozarella sticks. Steak is overpriced, too salty, too much fat and gristle in the cut we had. For $55 we expected a cut we could eat. We asked for the sauce on the side which revealed just how much they over-salted the steak. If it had been drenched in sauce, that would have masked the salt quite a bit. The rigatoni pasta sauce was very tasty and fresh. Some of the past was a tad underdone. The lasagna was also tasty, but pasta was hard and overdone on top layover of one side. It's a deconstructed pasta layered and cooked when you order it. Did not appear to be a slice cut from a large pan, which is ok. It just needed to be cooked well, not hard. Took quite a long time to get our server back to close is out so we just handed them our bill going it was correct -- it was, thankfully. The table next to us walked out before ordering. read more

B's Kitchen Kauai - Lasagna, sauce good. Pasta was hard and overdone on top layover of one side. - Pizza Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

Cocktails were delicious but the night we went we were informed they were out of basil so a couple of the pizza options were scratched from the menu unless you wanted to make a substitute. Followed that up ordering their fettuccini Alfredo which was less than impressive. Overall average food and experience. read more

Our server Katie really made our dining experience the best! The cocktails and food were great, but she went over the top to meet our requests. If we had more time on the island, we would definitely go back to dine with B's and Katie again. read more

We had the Goddess Salad with grilled Chicken and the Chicken Alfredo. The food was very good and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend. Didn't try the pizza. Looks good though. Atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was very nice. read more

Very nice ! Didn't expect such a beautiful, trendy spot on the other side of the front doors. We stopped in the night of the Night Market. We shared a delicious salad Godesss. Our Bespoke pizzas came out quickly and perfectly topped. So nice to have Athletic IPA on the menu for hoppy pairing of pizza without buzz. Fabulous service read more

We were looking for hamburgers. This was the last place close to our resort. The hamburgers, fries and pizza were awesome and tasty. The service was exceptional. Thank you for making one of our last nights in Kauai memorable. Next time we are out here, this will definitely be one of our go to places. read more

The Caesar salad contains fresh little white anchovies looking very much like you'd expect very recently deceased fish to appear. My guy wasn't into it but I think I am(?)! The pizza was excellent!! Ask to have it well done or it will be just barely cooked. Small size but delicious! read more

We stopped in after dinner just for drinks at the bar, and it was such a fun stop. The chili pepper margarita was off the charts delicious with the perfect spicy kick, and the mojitos were tasty too. The atmosphere is excellent, and it's clear that the place has been well-maintained. It feels modern, fresh, and lively without being overly extravagant. We didn't eat this time, but after seeing the food and pizza go by, we'll definitely be back to try it next time. read more

Very busy evening and it took awhile to get seated. Split a burger which was tasty. Also got the garlic naan which was good. As long as you're patient, you will enjoy your time. read more

If you go: make a reservation, don't plan to arrive early and get a drink at the bar on a busy night, keep your fingers crossed that you get Natalie as your server. This past Sunday night was packed at B's and luckily we had a reservation. We arrived about 20 minutes early and the hostess agreed that getting a drink at the bar before our table was ready would be good. At the bar,we waited several minutes to be greeted. We could tell things were busy so we didn't mind. When the bartender finally came our way, I made the mistake(?) of saying that we were just getting a drink before our table was ready. That yielded many rude comments during our time at the bar. We tried to order easy drinks and agreed for our check right away to help her out, but unfortunately she didn't see it that way. I understand things get busy. I understand that customers wanting more than one drink are ideal. But neither is an excuse for rude comments. Once we got to our table, we had a lovely evening. Natalie was the best server we could ask for. We had the calamari, a (not-so) little gem salad, beef cheeks for him and pesto & burrata for me. I would've liked a little spice in my dish, but other than that everything was delicious. Including the sticky toffee bundle cake dessert. read more

B's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise during our last visit in July. As it was in very close proximity to where we were staying, we ended up here after a day of beach hopping and exploring the island. At first we thought maybe we were just really hungry, but by the end of the meal after having the tiramisu that was made at the table, we concluded the food was really that good. So good that we almost went back the next day but we had a full list of restaurants to visit so we ended up not making it back. That being said, this will be a spot for us to visit for every Kauai trip. Service was friendly and efficient, the restaurant has a really relaxing vibe with lots of open space and cute decor. Pros: Delicious pizza and desserts, friendly staff, cozy setting Cons: N/A read more

Coming in an hour before closing time to be told the kitchen is closed is CRAZYYYY work. Having worked in a pizza restaurant before, I understand the bother of last minute guests. However an hour is nowhere near last minute. To not be addressed when walking in to place a TAKEOUT order. Knowing the staff wants to get off on time. Being ignored and immediately told the kitchen is closed. Do better. Or go to a job where you have a hard off time and need no customers skills. Since you lack those skills clearly. read more

Had eaten at this restaurant in the past and the service and food was excellent especially the pizza. stopped to buy on a Sunday and was very disappointed with the service which was horrible. And the food, pizza was burned on half and uncooked on the other half of it.. the waitress wasn't interested in fixing the problem at all. Will not come back again. Unfortunate it used to be a great restaurant. read more

Our first visit with 6 people was disappointing, the service was slow, they lost our order, food okay. I found out from the manager Julie (or Julia) he was a new server, which explained the problems. The hamburger was was overcooked, the caesar salad with chicken is a small serving and nothing special. Our friends were happy with their pizza. On our second visit with 19 people, the service was FANTASTIC, and we ordered pizza, which was pretty good. I recommend the pizza. Others were happy with their various pastas. I had a Mai Tai and it was different than the usual, but really good and not sweet. Worth a try. Over all my impression is your server is key, it is easy to get in and a group of 6 or more you can make a reservation. They are so close to being a good restaurant, I hope they can up their game for everyone. The Princeville location is so convenient, I want this place to be successful, but I understand it is hard to get employees in Kauai. It is worth visiting, but with moderate expectations. read more

I had one of the most spectacular meals I have ever had on Kauai! The bartender, Vince, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the island. He told me the funniest joke I have ever heard and made possibly the best martini I have had in the past 20 years. Thanks, Vince!! read more

Ordered the cheese pizza with the hot honey drizzle. Not very good. Overall it was just ok. Cool place on the inside, service was good and food was so so.. read more

The food was okay, but the menu is waaayyy overpriced for what you get. I'm not going to trash them though, the service was decent, we just won't be back. There are much better options to spend your money on than this place. It also took an hour to get our order, not something we appreciated with kids. read more

Fraud & Food Food was tasteless. Service mediocre at best. Manager was rude when we sent a flavorless salad back. The bill says it all. Trying to SCAM people with miscalculated estimated tips is FRAUD! read more

Excellent service from Allistar at the bar, and Cherie following up with me to get my credit card back to me while I traveled the islands. Food was delicious, and ambiance too notch! Nice work to the B's Kitchen! read more

The size of a small airplane hangar, this expansive Italian themed restaurant is decorated with wood, shiny surfaces and floor space. FCFS Resv. But apparently they take birthday parties. It's a great large space for an art gallery, although once an 8-top gets a few cocktails you'll need to shout to converse. The bar is center stage although the large open kitchen line also has counter seating to watch cooks do their magic or their fingers. Interesting Vintage Italian movie poster reproductions and decor placement. The service was stellar and products came out fast, but I mentally repositioned all posters while waiting for our meal. Looks like the trend of larger menus has been adjusted due to lack of skilled labor and housing. The menu, cocktails and wine list were recently revamped, so the fried calamari, wings and mozzarella sticks are out but prices increased. Pizza is their mainstay. We ordered mushroom with truffle seasoning of which there was a scant hint. I feel it needed a pinch of salt and crispier crust from the massive gas pizza oven. Their Roasted Beet Salad had a few bits of beet, nuts and Gorgonzola cheese and the tariff was questionable. Ahi Crudo was similar in the 5 slices of fish were a day old. I didn't stumble across any Marcona Almonds, but the dressing had a good viscosity sans the evidence of Sherry. Our partners had the Ribeye and Mahi which looked and tasted great. We shared the Ice Cream Brownie that was pretty awesome. Since they're one of many restaurants in pricy Princeville they may not be concerned about competition. However, If they could keep everything that simple and consistent (like that great efficient blond ponytailed server) they'll get more frequent/repeat business from us. read more

It was good food, I have nothing here nor there. the server didn't seem to know their small menu well but she was attentive!

This place has such good pizza, that we went three nights in a row. Harper was our server and was great. Onion rings were good too. Thank you for offering a non alcoholic beer read more

Ambiance, fine. Very uncomfortable chairs. Service...pretty slow, and it wasn't busy. Food, meh. I had a mahi mahi sandwich with pesto, pretty good, great french fries! Spouse had Lasagna, liked it. I tried it, needed seasoning or something, kind of bland. Other orders in our party were chicken sandwich, Ceasar with catch of the day, and the burger. None were very good according to our fellow diners. Overall, not bad, but wouldn't return unless there were no other options. read more

Pizza here was actually fantastic! The pasta we ordered was average, but I certainly go back for the pizza and a beer after a long day out having fun. read more

Great service and we got an order of garlic bread and it was a pizza with our meal. Awesome. Great place for great food. I could eat that pizza garlic bread by itself with a little balsamic vinegar. Cute and rustic kinda. read more

Long wait for a table on a Monday night, even though it didn't seem especially busy. Service was very friendly and welcoming but a bit slow. Prices were quite high for the caliber of courses. Caesar salad was just so so. Pizza was decent but a little bit doughy for me. Portion sizes were reasonable but I still left there hungry. read more

I love B's Kitchen and have from the first time I visited. I don't know what is with the bad reviews. I have always had excellent service, excellent food. Everyone is so friendly. I look forward to going there every time. Their Caesar salad is the best I've had on the island. My husband said he really loves the pizza. I love their steak and fries as well. Everything is just delightful. Recently they changed their menu to make it more mainstream . My favorites were still on the menu so no problem there for me. We come to Princeville every year for over 17 years. I don't recall when B 's first opened. But I was thrilled as the restaurant previously at this location I did not care for. I recommend this restaurant highly. The food is great and the atmosphere is charming. read more

What went well: The food and drinks were pretty delicious. What didn't: It took 20 minutes to get served water. It took 35 minutes until we ordered. The waiter gave us the wrong drink and then insisted we keep it after telling me that a martini and margarita are basically the same drink. We waited 90 minutes until we got our food (the restaurant wasn't slammed) All the tables near us were also disgruntled. We asked to order multiple times and were told to hold on. Every "hold on," felt like another 30 minutes. Cute place! Won't be back. read more

Service was good, waitresses were really sweet. Food portions were tiny and the rigatoni had zero flavor to it. My 6 year old daughter does not eat a lot was still hungry after eating all of her pasta. I've never seen such small portions. Definitely not worth the cost or the trip if you live in a different town. Will not be going again and very disappointed. But can't say I'm surprised since this is typical for Kaua'i but this experience really takes the cake. read more

Nice ambiance with modern interior and spacious seating. The restaurant itself seemed incredibly over staffed. Our cocktails took almost 20 minutes to be served after we ordered them, which was perplexing given the amount of staff around and behind the bar (it was not a busy night). My burger was very thin, and lacked any true flavor. The pizza was delicious and had a great meat to cheese ratio. We have a party of 6 with no true standout dish. read more
