Caesar salad
Jenna K.

Such a cute place! Loved the vibe inside! The tables are picnic tables. The server was nice and food was quick! The Caesar salad was a large portion and the dressing was strongly flavored. The fries and dipping sauce were good. The pork was so tender, we did get a side of bbq for it. There was live music as well which was nice!

Stopped by after our kayaking tour and were able to get seated quickly. We ordered the taro burger (which is a veggie patty) and the fish and chips. The food was good, basic fare. My husband also ordered one of their beers which he liked (but not as much as the Kauai brewing co). The waitress was nice, a little slow with refilling the waters.

Really cute place with great food! The hanging plants really make the interior soothing. The service was quick! But what really got us all excited was how juicy the Kalua pork sliders were; it ends up dribbling on the plate. The chipotle aioli really pairs well with the pork, and it was also delicious on the Brussels sprouts. Parking is shared with neighboring businesses; a little bit tight, but easy to find.

Easy to find with a big parking lot. Cute aesthetics with hanging plants and long wood tables. Went there twice while in Kauai. First time it was for dinner and then I got a burger. The burgers are huge and very tasty. Have a good array of beers. Second time was for the soccer game so it was clearly crowded. We ordered a few different appetizers... All of them hit the spot.

Unko Blakey's Huli Huli Chicken

We went here for an early dinner. We loved the atmosphere & decor at the restaurant. Lots of plants & slab wood tables . The host & waitress was friendly. We ordered the fish & chips. This was so amazing the fish was all white meat - flakey & moist . It was Ono fish . It came with 2 big pieces & fries. My husband got the Huli Huli Chicken plate this was tender & good . It came with rice & glaze carrots . The prices were good for the portion size . I would definitely go back for the fish . They have Coke products

Great spot to enjoy a beautiful setting and really good food! In terms of atmosphere and presentation, this is easily one of the prettiest places we visited on Kauai. We ordered three burgers and one fish & chips. The burgers were cooked exactly how we asked, which I always appreciate. The fish & chips were just a little on the dry side, but still decent. The beer, though, was excellent. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that we were charged extra for sauces that came with the meal, and no one mentioned they were an additional charge. It wasn't a huge amount (about $3), but it's just nicer to be told upfront. Overall, we had a really nice time and would definitely recommend this place.

I really don't like being critical of places -- especially when you can tell people are genuinely trying. That's why this one was a bit of a tough call between four and five stars. We came in on a Monday around 6 PM. Service was excellent from the start -- attentive, friendly, and well-paced. You feel welcomed, not rushed. Big plus. The food was good. Everything was cooked properly, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The burgers were cooked exactly to the requested doneness, which I always respect. Fish and chips were solid as well -- crispy, well-balanced, no complaints there. That said, I'll be honest. I've eaten a lot of burgers in my life, and while this one was good, it wasn't one of the best I've had. Not bad by any means -- just not a standout for me personally. The menu overall felt a bit limited, and I found myself wishing there were more options to choose from. Atmosphere is where this place really shines. Live guitar music, a beautiful interior, relaxed island vibe -- it all works. We were a group of four, spent around $205 total, and considering the drinks, burgers, and overall experience, the pricing felt fair. So yes -- I'm leaving five stars. The service, atmosphere, and overall experience deserve it. At the same time, if I'm being completely honest, next time I might be curious to try a few other spots as well. Still, a very enjoyable evening, and definitely worth a visit.

Kalua pork and rice
Mari O.

Napali Brewing is a must visit location when in Kauai! The food was perfect for the two of us, we had the Kalua pork and rice, the buffalo chicken wings and the beer cheese and pretzel bread. I had the cocktail special which was a POG based drink and it was by far the best drink I've ever had in my life. The staff were all friendly and had great recommendations on what to do on the island. We wish we could've eaten here more than once!

Lots of tables
Tammy P.

We always look for a brewery wherever we go and this was not far from where we were staying. We were greeted and seated quickly. They have a good selection of beers and standard brewery food. We decided on a flight to try some of their beers to find a favorite for a pint. They also have cocktails and wine. They have a good selection of Pupus. We ordered the Kalua Pork Sliders and Brussel sprouts. Service was a little slow but there was only one person when we first got there. Unfortunately they were out of the Duck Wings which we wanted to try. The Brussel sprouts were quite greasy but the sliders were good. They have a lot of tables and some outside but it was raining at the time.

Specials

Sign off the main road caught our eye while heading north for a tour, so circled back later for a late lunch. Maybe we caught them at a bad time, but the food and beer were mediocre at best. I enjoy trying local beers as close to the source as possible, so going to local brewpubs is something my wife and I try to do regularly. It was our third day in Kauai, so made this our lunch choice, and we were hungry after a long tour. There was plenty of parking in the dedicated lot, and it wasn't too busy when we stopped in after 1:30 on a Wednesday. We were greeted promptly and got to choose where we sat, in a picnic table with plenty of space. Chose two house draft beers: Honopu Hefeweizen ($9) which was not good...very weak and watery. But the Hanakoa Cream ale was worse ($9)...chose it because of a local cream ale from Wisconsin that I love. But it tasted more like a glass of lite pilsner, more like a Miller Lite than a cream ale. I had to finish both...should have just ordered one. The food came out a bit later. We wanted to share the local Style Smoke meat plate (sounded promising), which was a plate of pork shoulder ($16). Plenty of it, but it felt like leftover meat, reheated in a sugary sauce...looked and tasted like Tocino (which isn't my favorite), not like pulled pork/kalua pork. It came with a scoop of white rice. I got the spicy Poke ($19) which used good quality raw ahi tuna. It had lots of tasty, spicy mayo and was enjoyable. But the rice was not cooked well (it was mushy), and I had to ask myself: why has the rice been so mediocre for our first two days? (It got better as the trip went on). My wife got the Huli Huli Veg & Rice plate ($25)...not good. Just two pieces of chicken breast meat (coming from frozen) with a very light sauce (flavorless) and the carrots were big chunks, candied, which is not what we expected. Brought most of this back to our hotel (since we had a fridge), but neither one of us touched it for the rest of the trip. Pricing is inconsistent (the chicken plate should have been the cheapest item considering the ingredients and prep work). Payment was done through Toast, and there was a 3% service charge for using credit card.

Smoked meat
Silvia A.

Overpriced. The cheviche and the poke was ridiculously small. No human being can eat so little. Beer was ok but nothing memorable. The pull pork and smoked meat dishes were ok in size and flavor. Too fancy and price for a brew pub where you sit at a common table. If you go with a hungry family you will spend easily 200 and still hungry

Kalua pork
Pammy C.

Really cute place. The special beer of the day, cream ale, was ok. We ordered the fish and chips and kalua pork/rice. The fish was amazing. Fresh and meaty. The kalua pork was good, a bit salty for my taste. Probably not the best I've had. The hostess and the waitresses were very nice and made sure we had everything we needed.

Ube cheesecake
Maddy B.

Great spot that welcomes both tourists and locals. The staff is attentive and promptly seated us. The night we went had live music. The place has a friendly and lively ambiance. We started off with guava mules. It was not too sweet and strong enough. To eat, I tried the pulled pork sliders. Usually this is a heavy dish, but it was well balanced. Meat was very tender, simple, and tasty. For dessert, we ordered the ube cheesecake. It was pretty sweet and rich. Good to dish to try, but maybe not order again. I'd recommend stopping by when visiting!

Of all meals we had in Kauai, this is the one we are still talking about today. We went in for…read morehappy hour to have some small bites as nothing was hitting the spot on this island. The waitress recommended the wings and we are so glad we took her recommendation. This was a korean flavored fried chicken wings and competes with the best of them. There was no AC but parking was easy. The beers were on happy hour special since it was aloha Friyay! If ever on the island, we will definitely be back to try more of the offerings

Sounds like a classic Kaua'i find--those "locals-packed" spots are usually where the magic is…read more Taps and Hops Eatery really does have that laid-back island vibe where time slows down a bit--"island time" is real, especially when everything's made fresh. Honestly, the wait is usually a good sign there. Your order lineup hits a nice mix: * Mandu great choice for something shareable and comforting * Korean chicken if it tasted like an ajumma made it, that's basically the highest compliment * Beef sliders can't go wrong, especially when they're "ono" That mix of Korean flavors with a casual, almost random décor (yeah, "Mexican-ish" is oddly accurate for some island spots) is part of what makes places like that memorable--kind of a cultural mashup you only really find in Hawai'i. If you ever go back, people usually rave about their: * Garlic fries * Poke-style dishes * Local beer selection Kaua'i's north shore is full of low-key gems like that, but Taps and Hops is definitely one that sticks with you

We went to the Lagoon and afterwards decided to eat lunch at Monkeypod Kitchen. I had done some…read moreresearch and found that they were voted the best Mai Tai in Hawaii and since I've never had one why not go straight to the best. Now mind you I'm not a big drinker but this tasty spicy and delicious. I only had a couple sips (it was strong but I'm a lightweight) but I did enjoy every last drop of the foam on top. Yummy!!!!! It's truly a work of art. They have awesome happy hour pricing which we took advantage of. The sprinkles were being serenaded by the wonderful voice coming from the live music being played. She was lovely. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic. We ordered the truffle fries for the table which we devoured within a couple minutes. So hot and crunchy. Loved them. I ordered the cast iron shrimp off the appetizer menu. The blistered tomatoes and grilled shrimp topped off with sweet grilled cornbread were phenomenal. Alex ordered a cheeseburger and Ray got the salad with grilled chicken. This was the best meal I've had so far. So good!!!! 10/10 for me.

Excellent food. Nice selection of draft beers on tap including Weihenstephaner and Rice Breaker…read more The garlic truffle fries are the perfect appetizer. The handcut fries soak up the flavors. The potstickers were fine. The fish and chips were some of the best I've ever had. They use Mahi Mahi. They said that earlier this year they were unable to procure it and had to use a different fish and it just wasn't the same. So be sure to verify that they're using Mahi Mahi. Delicious! They have a legit pizza oven and make amazing pizzas. We got the combo they call the Kalua Pork & Pineapple. Note that it has other things on it too like jalapenos and pesto. We made no modifications and got it how it normally comes. Amazing! The scratch made crust is really great.
