Fun to say "I've been to the western-most brewery in America". Service was quick but they spilled beer all over the table twice lol. They did Kamaaina though which was much appreciated. I loved out waitress. The grilled chicken sandwich was okay but overpriced for what it was. read more

It was a nice stop after an appointment in Waimea. Not the best food but their fries were yummy. Their blonde beer was good. The team was a bit reserved with me as "a visitor". I met the owner who was nice and some dude who thought he was Santa Claus LOL I found a Kohola's sticker though read more

Service was so good, i'd come back just for that! Beer and food recommendations were on point even steering away from non optimals. It's a quaint joint, nothing to write home about but has indoor and outdoor seating. Everything we got was good. If you're near by, stop in! read more

Excellent selection of beers. Thankfully our Boat ride was cancelled due to extremely foul weather. We walked across the street and we were seated immediately. Our server was very friendly. We decided upon the Kale Caesar salad and the mini Kauai beef sliders. Incredibly delicious! The local Maui IPA was the bomb! Mahalo for your wonderful beer and food! read more

Staff was very cordial and pleasant, went over and beyond to meet my needs. Pizza was great.

Too hot, too slow and not tasty enough for me. Service was lackluster and sloppy the day we visited, and we were disappointed by how stifling it was inside (even though it wasn't super hot outside), and how long it took to get drinks and food. Tables and menus were sticky and everything felt grubby and not quite clean. The menu was pretty standard for a brewery, and the food was just fine - nothing particularly tasty or well presented. It was ok for an unplanned bite to eat but not a destination in itself. read more

What do we have to say... oh my gosh. we ate this place up and left no crumbs. first of all, amazing ambiance, whoever was on aux needs a raise without a doubt. the service was fast and friendly and didn't judge our sandy feet and sea salt hair. Francisco was our waiter and was great! food was yummy and vibes were great! read more

My wife and I stopped in here at Port Allen after a dinner cruise to have a drink while waiting for the crowd to clear out and to catch a rideshare. By 8:30 p.m., there were no Lyft or Uber rides available, and no taxi services in sight. The bartender, Meghan (her name was on the receipt--we forgot to ask!), went above and beyond. She offered to give us a ride back to Poipu after her shift and even comped us a couple of drinks because of the situation. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome, even though we had clearly made a mistake by not planning our transportation ahead of time. We truly appreciated the kindness and aloha spirit. Oh...and the drinks were spot on!! read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and the bartender with the blonde hair working on 12/26 at 1:30pm was super rude so we left.

The food is not very good. Would rate a 2/5. The portions are decent but the food lacks flavor. All of the meals in my group were not good. Also, one person did not like their food and therefore didn't eat it. When she asked to get it taken off the bill, the waiter said they don't do that there. Many places that I have gone to will gladly take a meal off the bill that was uneaten. I would not come to this place for anything except if you like beer read more

What a great place! Chill. Big menu. Great beer selection. Friendly staff. We walked right in, sat down to samples of a few beers, and eventually settled on points of the Waialeale Ale and Lilikoi Ale. The Ahi Poke, Fish Tacos, and Fish Sandwich were great; catch of the day was Mahi Mahi. Go. Enjoy the beer, food, sunset, and you too can say you've visited the westernmost brewery in the United States! read more

We happened to wander around this area of Kauai on our way back from Waimea looking for restrooms and ended up really loving it. The food and service here was great and we'd definitely visit again next time we are in Kauai. We ordered the fish sandwich and the papaya salad with fish. The fish sandwich was cooked to order and done medium, and my partner thought the fish was very fresh and well-seasoned. The market price for the fish was $18 that day. The papaya salad was also very fresh and the dressing was very tasty yet light. We thought that the serving of papaya was very generous and also presented well. The fries were also very fresh, although the serving of fries that came with the fish sandwich was a little small. Our only complaint is that we initially thought we wanted to sit indoors, but as soon as we got in there, it was really hot inside, so we decided not to do that. There was ample seating when we got there at the weird hour of 4:30, but I noticed throughout the night as more people arrived, they were asking people if they had a reservation, so that is something to consider. My partner also really liked the Lillakoi beer and thought the flavors were very good. read more

Service was good, the seasonal seltzer - tangerine lemonade was tasty. Recommend the 5oz taster for $3.50. Had the green papaya salad and smoke meat pupu; wouldn't do the smoked meat again. read more

We came here to meet our friends from back on the mainland. Our party was for 12 people. We got out drinks and pupus in. No problem- beer was good. Did the QR menu thing as our server said it was the most updated menu. Tried to order shrimp scampi, but the server came back like 10 min later to say they don't serve it anymore even though it's on the menu. He said the menu hasn't been updated. Then he came back and said they were out of kale on the kale Caesar salad, so they subbed in romaine. Then we ordered a margherita pizza to sub for the scampi. About 15 min later, He came back and said pizza would be another 30 min... we mildly complained. So he rushed it to 15 min... however it came out with no red sauce on the pizza. What food we did get was just ok. Lots of issues with the ordering and service. We had to make a food stop for one of our party. Not a good night for our party. read more

We stopped at the Port Allen location of the brewery for a bite to eat and to try a couple of the beers. When we walked in, we asked for a table for two, we got seated, and the host came back a minute later and she said that they are getting a "lunch rush" and we need to sit somewhere else. They moved us over to the high seats by the rail, meanwhile, they had set two other people down to the table where we were sitting at. We never said that we did not want to eat so I don't understand what was the mistreatment about and why they made us get up from the table and they had let two other customers sit down there, who came in after us. My husband I had a short talk and we got up and left the restaurant. We will definitely not be back. Where is the Aloha vibe?? read more

During our second day in Kauai my wife and I decided that we wanted to explore the island and grab some lunch. We left our Airbnb in Poipu to make the 20 minute trek to Kauai Island Brewery and Grill. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Savannah who quickly seated us. Prior to ordering food, my wife and I ordered two beer flights that contained four beer samplers each (the samplers are pretty big). Since neither one of us are beer experts, we were grateful that Savannah was kind enough to pick the beers for us (from her list of personal favorites). After consuming our flights, we ordered the Calamari strips, fish and chips (for me), and quarter pounder burger (for my wife), and a Buffalo Chicken Pizza (for dinner that evening). For drinks, we ordered Koloa Rum MaiTai and the Koloa Rum Dark Guava Sour. We were completely satisfied with the taste of all of our food options, and loved the MaiTai (so much that we both had two)! Savannah did a great job of not only checking in with us and the other patrons, but also with taking some time to chat and get to know my wife and I. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Kauai Island Brewery and Grill, and definitely recommend that you check it out if you're looking for good food + drinks in a friendly environment! read more

Everything about this place is disgustingly. The food tasted like cheap freezer food. There were 4 in our group and we all had the same thoughts about the food. The place is dirty and the staff is not too great. read more

I accidentally ended up here and I don't regret it one bit! I was trying to get to their second location, but mistakenly had the GPS route me to here. However, the food and service and overall vibe more than made up for it! Our server was great at helping with beer suggestions. I told him what I typically like and he recommended something based off that. He also brought out samplers of other options without me even asking! The fish tacos and pulled pork were amazing. The tacos were giant and crispy while staying moist. The pulled pork came with slaw on the side with us to put on ourselves in case we didn't like it and so it didn't make the bun soggy. Highly recommend! read more

After last night's experience, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The service is absolutely terrible. The staff here is the worst on the island, and their attitude is downright awful. It's clear that no one is happy working here, and you can sense it the moment you step inside. The only reason we even stopped by was the pizza. It was great! It took a while to get, but it was worth the wait. While we were waiting, we witnessed an older man rudely ask a young lady to get off her seat so that another lady could sit. It was shocking and disheartening to see such behavior in the service industry. We thought it was so unusual that we decided to leave to make sure we wouldn't be asked to leave ourselves, especially since there were open tables around. If I were you, I would order takeout instead of wasting a beautiful night in an ugly setting. read more

Laid back place with beer flights. We ordered a burger and fries for my daughter. She had no complaints. The beers were decent. I was hoping for more flavor from the Lilikoi ale. Enjoyed the prickly pear sour more, but the real standout was a Russian Imperial Stout. One of the best I've tasted. Made us wish we had tried some of their other dark beers. read more

My friends and I came here after a long day of exploring, looking to have a quick early lunch - and that's exactly what we got. This brewery is fairly large so there was lots of seating available inside, with a laid-back, casual atmosphere and plenty of TV screens (lots of people watching the basketball game). Ordering drinks took a little while because the servers were switching over shifts, but otherwise the service was very smooth. I'm not typically a beer drinker so I got a glass of red wine (very decent), but all my friends got beer flights, which were great and super reasonably priced. For food, I got the Kauai Beef Sliders, which I loved. They ask you how you want the meat cooked and what kind of cheese you prefer, and the portion size was perfect. I really enjoyed the crispy fries this came with too. My friends ordered the KIBC Nachos, Crispy Calamari, Pupu Combo, and Chicken Bites. All the food came out very quickly after ordering and we had zero complaints - just very solid bar food. Overall, not a must-visit on Kauai, in my opinion, but we definitely had a good experience. read more

When I'm dining out with Grandma Coni, Kauai Island Brewery is always a go-to spot. She loves bar food and says the French fries are the best on island. She literally tells everyone she meets. Have had some great luck over the past few years here with excellent burgers cooked to temp and fantastic fried chicken sandwiches (Gma's favorite). A+ service and beer samplers are always fun! read more

I have never left a Yelp review before but the service I just experienced was so bad and unwelcoming I want to spare others. To start, the ONLY reason I added a second star is because the beer is good. The gentleman who served us didn't share his name but was dark haired with a goatee, and worked the afternoon of 2/22 at around 1 PM. My fiance and I had just finished a catamaran snorkeling tour which was the BEST tour we've ever been on. Having a deep love for Kauai and the local small businesses, and wanting to support them, we stopped in to Kauai Island Brewing for a beer since it was a trip highlight on our trip to Kauai the previous year. We ordered our drinks, the man who was helping us brought them over and we gave him a credit card to close out, all seems fine, and then in a split second a fly flew into one of the beers as he was running our credit card. When he brought back our credit card, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal to replace the beer we notified him of the fly. Without asking us first what we felt comfortable with, he took a straw and tried to fish out the fly. Then as he was doing so, asked us "are you the type of people to make me get you another beer". Feeling judged but not wanting to drink something unsanitary we said "yes". He reluctantly brought it over and then didn't check with us/neglected to serve us the rest of the time we were at the brewery which was almost an hour. The sad thing is we were hoping the beer at one of our familiar favorites would be a cherry on top to our perfect day. Instead we received extremely poor service which almost ruined our day. Word to the wise, if you enter this establishment, you will be guaranteed good beer (depending on your taste), but you will not be guaranteed good service. So disappointed.... read more

Meh, definitely a tourist trap. I get the recommended fish tacos, burnt, small and not impressive, not to mention the price. Someone ordered the fish sandwich, not much taste, small Someone ordered the crab cakes, tasty but pretty small, twi the size of ping pong balls The one really good one was the kalua bowl with pork and BBQ. large and tasty! The fries were really good. Beer is pretty solid. Heavily hopped, if you like it or not. Decent beer, not very refined, worth a beer, not worth a trip. Service was ok. Pretty funny when the wait staff asks you "how was everything " walking past the table and not stopping to hear the reply. Summary, you could do worse, but you could do much better. read more

The fried chicken sandwich is huge and delicious. Super crispy! The burgers are good very tasty but not that appealing on the plate. I definitely recommend the fries super crispy and full of potato flavor. Service is good my waitress was very attentive. This by far is the best microbrewery in Kauai. The beers are so good I highly recommend the red and the dark coffee brew. I love the patio seating it quieter and offers shade and sun. read more

It doesn't even matter that I didn't like the beer I ordered (the Lilikoi ale, just wasn't my jam) because the fried chicken sandwich was that good. Juicy, crispy on a delicate brioche bun. I could go on, but do yourself a favor and order one of these and thank me later. read more

We went here with party of 8(they charge 20% grat. at party of 6+) we came in ordered appetizers right away, as well as drinks. Never got drinks. 20min in our appetizers were on the counter still waiting to be served to us, we finally went up to the counter and asked the cook to take them he said yes. 9minutes later our male server came and finally asked us if we were ready to order. We said cancel the drinks. We were ready to leave. We ordered three appetizers (wings,chips, onion rings and the total was just under $50) insane. I should have to serve my table. And still have to pay the gratuity fee. We never even got refills of our waters which were gone before we even ordered appetizers. And the place was not packed- maybe about 1/2 filled 3 servers working. read more

Great brewery and good food. Food: They were out of several things and I wanted fish, so I was only able to get the fish and chips. They were good, I just wished they had one more piece on the plate. I did a taster of all their IPAs and all were good. Atmosphere: It's a loud restaurant, they did have a small duo playing music outside, but we couldn't hear them. Service: good service, food came out quickly. Tip: we walked down to the water to watch the sunset before walking in. read more

I am bit torn on this place. We ended up stopping by 3 times. Each time was a completely different experience. The first trip I grabbed an hazy IPA that made me think this was the best brewery on the island and that beer could compete with some at home. The second beer I had was a dragonfruit wheat that was really amazing. Nice tart flavor. Almost came off as a sour beer, not too sweet at all. The second trip was Sunday and football was on. It was very loud in there. Not normal football bar loud, somehow louder. I did not care for that experience, but it was the last 5 mins so it was fine. We ended up ordering food and I am happy to say the food was really good. The service this night was weird. For example I requested a third slider, but only got two, only paid for two as well, but you know. Plus it took some time to get the waitress for service. After we ate she was helpful, so it may have been the environment that night was throwing everyone off. The third trip we just had some drinks and every beer I had was ok to not great. They were three other ipas and I was not a huge fan of any of them. So overall I had two of the best beers on the island, followed by three of my least favorite beers on or off island. The food was extremely good, but honestly overpriced. If I were a local I dont think this would be my spot. Its a little too touristy and by a heavily tourist area. I am honestly of two minds for this place. read more
