    Drink menu
    Stephen A.

    Super-cute permanent food truck bar/restaurant in the back of the Warehouse 3540 "Mall" on Koloa Road in Kalaheo. They serve a short but sweet menu of toasted grinders and salads with a great selection of specialty cocktails. We both had cocktails and then shared a Greek salad. We split 2 different sandwiches, the Reuben and the Godfather. They come grilled open-faced with potato chips, and one is more than generous for a mid-day meal. Our table overlooked a lovely view of a quiet stream valley and was a delightful spot for a unique dining adventure.

    Had a great experience here! The drinks were absolutely delicious with beautiful presentation, and the food did not disappoint. The outdoor seating and ambience are perfect--such a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth it!

    We always stop here for cocktail's after a day at the beach. Love the atmosphere, and the drinks are delicious! Such a cute spot and a fun vibe! Service is always great. Highly recommend.

    Wife and I stopped in for cocktails on the drive back from Waimea Canyon. We saw the good reviews, so decided to check it out. It's a cute little "micro-bar" hiding behind a warehouse building. We ordered the Bird of Paradise, the Berry Flats, and the Roasted Garlic Cheesy Bread. Drinks were delicious and well balanced. Love this place. What a gem.

    Phenomenal soft pretzel. Legit want to go back and get one right now!
    Shannan S.

    Staff were friendly and spoke as soon as we walked in. We could hear the stream beside the fence and the rain made it so much better! The pretzel was amazing -- and only this is only the second place I know of that we can get soft pretzels! Philly cheesesteak was so delicious. Ambiance was 10/10 - loved this place and will def go back. We are always looking for local places to support when eating out so def will be eating here again.

    Great Bartender!

    !!! Try The Rumbleweed !!! Maybe the best find of our week away from Kansas. The staff all worked together to earn our praise. The food, customized to our taste, was fabulous! The corner table we found allowed our family gathering to share, and to also interact with other guests and staff. A semi-open setting with a light breeze to chill and recover from a big day on the Friendly Island of Kauai! MAHALO

    I love me a day drink spot! Super cute bar with craft cocktails & yummy bites to cruise with your gf's and have girl talk. Hidden in the back of Lawai warehouse, this is the perfect spot to sip a drank in the middle of the day. They have a nice selection of fun fresh drinks and yummy bites to share. Def one of my favorite spots on the south side :) Happy hour is 4-5p for $2 off all drinks!

    Ambiance is a terrace-in-the-forest vibe. Service is prompt and friendly. The cocktails and mocktails are expertly crafted - loved by the whole family!

    The Canyon or the Rueben sandwich. I can't remember. And a local Golden ale.
    David D.

    Great locals' secret. Filling, savory, homemade sandwiches, salads, pupus and more. A small selection of ales on tap plus exotic drinks and standard wells. Calm, friendly outdoor atmosphere. A rotating live music schedule on selected nights makes it a great go-to.

    Great atmosphere and their IPA's are exceptional. Outdoor covered patio area behind a giant warehouse. Plenty of parking and bathroom available.

For drinks we had the Mai Thai and the pina colada, both of which were the best drinks we've had so far on the island! Their Mai Thai has a guava foam on top. Delish! For our entrees we got the macadamia crusted mahi (amazing). I subbed the rice for the garlic mashed potatoes and it was delish. The island poke bowls were beautifully presented and also delicious, as well as the dragon bowls. The whole family loved our meal here. We definitely want to go back again! The prices are steep but for what you get, it's worth it.

    First time here and it was pretty good…read more Busy resort-area restaurant feel, so there are a lot of tourists. Eclectic American fare, ranging from salads and burgers to pasta and steak, plus sushi and Asian-inspired appetizers. They have an extensive drink and cocktail menu in which I did not partake, but it's there. I opted for the blackened chicken Alfredo (full size), which was pretty hearty. There are tons of fried bacon in here, which makes it a little more indulgent, so be warned if heavy cream and Parmesan is already a lot for you. The kung pao chicken lettuce wrap is the unheralded star here, in my opinion. Sushi is okay, but there are other places in the Poipu area who don't specialize in sushi that make better sushi. Server gave us forks to eat the sushi, which I thought was odd. Pretty good restaurant with a nice, busy feel and good staff. The overhead music can be a little loud at times, but the option of outdoor seating can lessen the clamor.

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!
