    Ahi katsu plate
    Anna B.

    It seems I can no longer visit Waimea Valley without having lunch here after, and I'm not complaining- the food here goes so hard I practically have no choice. Everything I've gotten has been gorgeously vibrant with colorful veggies and hot crispy proteins, and it's just nice to sit and people watch while refueling after volunteering or walking all morning. You can't go wrong with the plate lunches, and the sandwiches have also been killer- I loved the veggie one I tried last trip, and their seasoned fries are properly crispy! Will be coming by forsure with every Waimea visit at this rate of deliciousness. FYI there is a kamaʻāina discount but you may have to ask for it.

    Veggie burger & shoyu chicken

    Pleasantly surprised on the quality of the food within this "touristy" spot. We got the shoyu chicken and the veggie burger with fries. The fries were perfectlyyy crispy. Everything was yummy! Service was great as well!

    Loved the coffee, it was a perfect pregame to the hike to Waimea falls and the botanical garden. We got the matcha and Ube latte which was a refreshing wake up call. The staff were really nice and the drinks were out within 10 minutes. The specialty drinks were really interesting.

    Burger combo (they forgot the fries; got it after informing them of mistake). Salty burger.  Good with beer.

    Not bad! Really surprised that they had simple spam musubi to a gourmet beet salad that was reasonably priced for the amount. I would eat that refreshing beet salad again! Also, the bar right next to it is typical $8 per beer to $12-16 mixed drinks for those that need the cool down after the long trek back. Shared a beef burger with zuchinni. Didnʻt expect the zuchinni to be deep fried battered zuchinni. Thought would be grilled so that was disappointing and the patty was salty. Washed it down with beer which made it delish. Ahi fish burger is tasty! Chicken plate- meh. Loved the kope cafe on right.

    I was expecting meh food but it was quite good. The chicken and fries were tasty and went quickly. Also appreciated that they had an unsweetened tea option for drinks. Tad slow service but I am on island time so all good.

    We grabbed some food here on the way out after walking through to Waimea Falls. It smelled so good and the hurricane fries caught my eye. They have plenty of seating but we took it to-go instead. There was a sign on the window to request any utensils or bags. When our food was ready, I asked if we could get a bag since I didn't want anything to spill during our drive and he just said he couldn't give us a bag. No idea why, or maybe they were out of bags, but I thought it was an odd response. Hurricane fries were delicious! The actual fries were cooked nicely and I loved the sauce on top with the furikake. If only they had the option to add meat, it would be a perfect meal. We also ordered the garlic shrimp plate. It was a bit light in flavor and not enough garlic but adding the spicy sambal sauce was good. I even used some of the sauce for the fries. The menu said it came with pickled veggies but it was just a regular tossed salad.

    We stopped here to use the restroom and grab some hot beverages before continuing our drive around the island. It was a rainy, chilly day in Hawaii so hot coffee and tea sounded perfect. Hale Kope caught our eye, particularly their cardamom lavender syrup. I chose black tea with the cardamom syrup and my mom had a coffee. The syrup was so good and flavorful. We both enjoyed our drinks. They had great flavor and were served at a good temperature. Plus there was no line when we arrived and the employees are friendly. It was quick, easy, and affordable to grab warm up with a delicious beverage. We recommend this establishment to others!

    We found this restaurant by chance this evening and decided to give it a try with our family. When…read morewe arrived, we were told that the restaurant was closing in about 10 minutes, but the staff kindly welcomed us in and gave us the opportunity to order quickly. Although some items on the menu were no longer available, they offered us great alternatives, and we ended up having a wonderful dinner. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the view was absolutely beautiful. We truly enjoyed our evening here and appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff. It was a lovely experience, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    This restaurant is right across the beach with a good amount of parking. I was able to park right…read morein the front. Even though it's in front of the beach, just to let you know you need to wear a shirt. I came in with a bikini top and was asked to put on a shirt. I don't mind that I understand. So just remember if you're planning to eat here to bring your shirt if you're gonna go to the beach across the street We got the local moco and we also got the garlic shrimp plate. We also got the kids pizza and fries. The fries were different shape so my kid didn't like that lol We also got two mocktails and I can't remember which one it was but one of them was super sour but the other one was really refreshing. Can't really complain because I believe the sour drink with alcohol in. It would've tasted very good lol but we opt out for alcohol and ask for mocktails. We tried the calamari, which I enjoyed way more than my entrée. The garlic shrimp was OK. I liked that it had a lot of sauce and flavor. Can't beat the garlic shrimp trucks, but it was pretty good. The local mall was also really good different. I wasn't too much of a fan of it. Overall experience was great. The service was nice. The parking was easy to find the ambience was beautiful outdoorsy love that. Definitely gives that beach house vibes for sure.

    Stonefish is located in the Haleiwa Town Center, so there's lots of free parking in the lot behind…read more I came here for brunch on a Friday, and there was no wait to be seated. We were given the option of sitting inside or outside. I loved the wood furniture and plants that were used throughout the restaurant. For three of us, we shared the prime rib moco and malasada pancakes. The malasada pancakes are like no other, and it's a must try at this restaurant. It has the perfect malasada texture without feeling super heavy. The prime rib loco moco was a generous portion and paired well with the sweet malasada pancakes. Service here was friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend Stonefish if you're looking for a good breakfast spot with something for everyone.

    We give it a 2 star coz of the venue; nice place with very beachy ambiance being in North Shore…read more The staff are friendly and hospitable but not very attentive. We're seated at the corner and forgotten. Now, the food-DISAPPOINTING! We thought it would be authentic fish since the name stands for it! We ordered Chicken and Fish sandwiches. The plating was nice and looks appetizing but the chicken were chicken tenders or chicken stick and the fish was those ready made breaded fish from Costco (at least it looked like it). What made the good taste good was the sauce. So, I recommend if you're really hungry and you don't mind eating microwave dinner and the family needs to unload and relax coz the place is vibing and has a long bar for adults. I'm just disappointed with the food.
