"Club sandwich" + fries
Kevin L.

Pretty much the worst BLT we ever had. My wife had a BLT and I had a club sandwich which is pretty much a BLT with chicken for them. The taste wasn't good. I regret eating there. The staff was nice but that's pretty much all. The place is really whatever and they have overflowing trash everywhere and dirty tables.

The veranda anyone can eat here!

Really good food, limited options this side of the island, go for a walk and stop and get a breakfast burrito or sandwich also good for lunch, not a fan of the fries, however very good! It is not a restaurant, hence the name grill!

There was MAYBE 3 fries in here that were edible.

The people here DO NOT CARE. Seems to be the trend here if you aren't local. Ordered food and wasn't aware that we had an option for fries (just told it comes with chips, so we assumed they were out of fries). We saw 2 orders before us with fries....ok no prob. We ordered fries after food was done and were very nice. What we got was 2 boxes of what looked like the bottom of every fry bag they had there. So gross. The rest of food fell in line with most of the area....bad but beats cooking at home. Save your money, buy groceries then splurge on Barracuda or Ama for dinner options..... nothing else we have had here (specifically Hanalei/princeville for dinner) is worth it. Been here 6 months, so we have tried almost all places.

Located behind the pro shop of the Makai Golf Club lies a little snack shack that serves decent food. The course is owned by the St. Regis so you can expect solid food in this unpretentious outside lanai. I think it's an option if you are staying in one of the nearby condos or timeshares in the Princeville area as there aren't a lot of places to choose from within the confines of Princeville. The ladies working the counter are great. I docked a star because they used to have great musubi. It was a double decker but alas no more.

Came here on a whim for lunch and was surprised how delicious both of our sandwiches were!!!! I got the club and my boyfriend got the French dip. Club is massive and could easily be split for a lighter lunch. The French dip was amazing!!! I tried a bit of his French dip was jealous the rest of the meal. We will definitely be back before our trip is over!

Bangin' no bun burger. Looks almost too good to eat. . .

Located at the golf course. Pretty expensive for average snack bar food. It is easily accessible in Princeville though.

The snapper wasn't too fishy and had a really good sauce, but I definitely enjoyed the pasta more! We ended with the chocolate dessert since we were celebrating my birthday and that was probably the best part!! So good. Service was awesome, our server was kind and attentive. I'd definitely come back for the vibes, view, and good food! The menu is a little small, but everything we tried was tasty and did not disappoint.

Every time I'm there, they manage to stay calm, composed, and professional even when things get busy, while still making every guest feel welcomed and taken care of. Aleah, Hiílanií, Branden, and Kyle each bring such a warm, inviting personality to the experience. They're attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell they care about creating a great experience, not just serving a drink. Their ability to maintain that level of hospitality under pressure is impressive and really sets them apart. They make Sandbox feel relaxed, welcoming, and special. A fantastic team and a true reflection of the hospitality you hope for at 1 Hotel Hanalei. Highly recommend!

The pork belly GF ramen was delicious. A small tray with 3 condiments of a flavor profile to amp up your dish to your personal liking. The poor was tender and flavorful and wasn't waterlogged.

I almost canceled after seeing a few mixed reviews online, but I'm really glad we decided to go anyway. First off - you really come here for the atmosphere and the view. It is absolutely incredible! Sitting outdoors taking in the Kauaʻi landscape is top-tier. The menu itself is pretty limited. Here's what we tried: Papaya Salad: Really refreshing and tasty, though a bit steep on the price tag for what it is. Pork Belly Ramen: good but definitely not authentic-level ramen and at $30 (even with the added spicy miso sauce) it was just okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. Sesame/Ground Pork Soup (Hubs' order): He got a dish with ground pork and udon noodles in a sesame base broth, and that one was actually really delicious! Service was stellar! Our waiter, Keoni, was super attentive, friendly, and awesome overall. While the ramen prices are on the high side for what you get, the view, service, and ambiance made it a wonderful evening out on our trip!

Postcards is a quaint restaurant in the heart of Hanalei and the ambiance was exactly what I envisioned for our Hawaiian date night celebration. It was intimate, peaceful, and not loud at all. We started with Mai tai's, and I can confidently say it has been my favorite on the island so far. For our appetizer, we ordered the hummus that is made of edamame which was really unique. For our entrees, I ordered the New York steak and my husband ordered the Market Fish which was a kampachi. Both of our plates were amazzzing. The flavors were incredible and everything paired together so perfectly and there wasn't a thing I would have changed. Our server AJ was amazing and very tentative.

We enjoyed a delicious beet cured swordfish crudo- excellent! Another order of the delicious crispy Brussel sprouts, and tonight's special, 5 scallops on puréed carrots , ginger and garlic and I forget what else but it was amazing. Highly recommend all of these dishes. No room for dessert, but owner Joe and our super server Martín twisted our arm for the Valrohna chocolate cremeux -- not sure how it was prepared, but it is was yummy Swiss chocolate , pistachios and raspberries-- perfection. Continued warm aloha and hospitality from Joe, Martín, bartender Angel and also server AJ. EAT HERE!
