Best to do family style if with a group, because then you can try more items! VIBE: It's a local spot for sure, casual vibe, great bar, live music on Thursdays, and Trivia Night follows. SERVICE: They have lots of tables to manage, so servers checking in with you can be sparse, but if you need something just flag someone down, and they will take care of you quickly.

Visited Good Times Grill during our stay in Kauai. The staff were warm, friendly, and very…read morewelcoming throughout our visit. They also had a live band playing, which created a fun atmosphere and it looked like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sit and eat, though, it can get a bit loud, nothing against the live music, just something to keep in mind depending on what kind of dining experience you're looking for. The ahi nachos were a bit disappointing for us. The ahi itself was fresh and tasted great, but the "nachos" were actually more like fried wontons instead of traditional nacho chips, which felt a little odd and just wasn't really our thing. It would've helped if that was disclosed on the menu or if the server gave a quick heads up beforehand so expectations were clearer. On the positive side, the Tempura Ahi Bites were our favorite dish out of everything we ordered, definitely the standout item for us. The rib plate was also decent with satisfying portions overall.

Parking is on gravel and can be limited depending on the time of day. There are some outdoor covered seating shared with other nearby food trucks if you want to "dine-in". Ordering was super easy -- staff were right by the door with a phone and took our order and payment on the spot. We got a Da Shaka Burger and a loco moco to-go for our island hop to Maui, and the food was out in about 10 minutes. Staff were really helpful, and especially with the loco moco gravy -- they gave me enough to stay under the radar with the TSA. Loco moco was solid overall; gravy leaned a bit salty, and the rice was sticky, but the patty itself was so good. The burger had a thick patty and leaned on the sweeter side. Not mind-blowing but made for a great last meal from Kauai.

They were definitely stressed but they ultimately got everything handled! First time trying kenji's. I got their bacon cheeseburger w furikake fries. The burger was solid, maybe a 3.5/5. Nothing crazy about it. But it hit the spot after a long day of hiking! The furikake fries were nice and fresh, a 4/5. My homegirl also agreed w a 4/5 for her order, as well. She got their standard burger and a side of sunomono.

The prices are very reasonable! We probably saved $3-10 off each plate coming from Maui. My dad got the LauLau Plate and said the meat was soft and moist and my mom NEVER annihilates her food and she literally ate every bite of her Steamed Fish which was Catfish today. It had this yummy soy or sesame sauce with some green onions and ginger on top. My Oxtail Soup with Rice was perfect for the cold rainy day. Delicious pieces of fall off the bone oxtail and I literally dumped all the cilantro and ginger in the hot broth. Mom and I had a bit of a fuzzy throat so we got the Calamansi Juice with Honey which was delicious! As you sip, you taste pieces of Calamansi and see swirls of seeds and calamansi skin. If you like pulp, you'd enjoy this refreshing drink. We ended the meal with 4 pieces of hot egg tarts! I'm surprised they had them because when I go to Oahu, there's some spots where you special order them on the weekends. Overall, a delicious local spot here in Lihue!

The pancakes, the loco moco, and the french toast were out of this wooooorld. Especially, the coconut syrup that accompanied the pancakes! Everything is well kept in this place! Clean and organized!

The fries and onion rings are equally delicious and pair perfectly with a cold drink.

The combo plate included chicken, hamburger steak, and kalua pork, white rice and mac salad. Winner! The hamburger steak was tasty and the gravy was smooth. Don't like all meat patties because it's tough. This patty was home made and delicious! And kalua pig is all the same, right? NO WAY!!! This kalua pig was different, better, with flavor most intriguing and inviting you to eat more! How amazing is that?! Even the chicken was ono. And the mac salad was fresh and full of flavor too. Usually, mac salad is not my thing, but I found myself taking more than one bite! Will definitely be back for more great food on our next Kauai adventure! Keep up the great cooking! Woo hoo!

With a 21:30 flight,…read morewe had a lot of time to kill, so decided to go back to the Harbor mall to find a place to eat. We ended up choosing Lilikoi Bar and Grill on a late Sunday morning. The service was OK, with the food being OK. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the mall, and was fairly hopping when we stopped in. We got lucky and got assigned a window table. The food as a whole was OK, with tourist prices. The Kalua Pork Sandwich ($20) was served on buttered texas toast and came with deeply battered french fries. The strawberry milk shake ($9) was not good: tasted ice in it which didn't make sense since it was marketed as a MILK shake. The edamame appetizer ($11) was a good beginning and we used that as our base. I got a bowl of the seafood chowder ($16) and it was a generous amount, very thick with plenty of clam and fish pieces, and it tasted good. Service was OK and we paid at the table using our credit card (no credit card surcharge here).
