I dropped in for a quick lunch in between meetings at PMRF. Shenanigans has been there for quite some time and with the Subway location on base closing, is the only choice left. It was a little further of a drive but the views were well worth it. Shenanigan's is currently undergoing a renovation, so your order is taken at the rear of the restaurant at a service window. A number is given and food is brought to your table. It's a bus-your-own-table system there so please consider that. If you need anything at all, plan on getting it yourself. The views of the beach at Barking Sands is pretty epic and the nice sea-breeze cools down the sometimes oppressive heat-humidity combo. If on base at PMRF, this is your spot to eat! read more

Breathtaking views from a beach front covered patio. Pleasant dining experience. Wide range of menu options. Recommend the pizza, shrimp boil, and desserts. read more

Beautiful ambiance & food was very nice and so was the service We will return the next time we're at Kauai read more

We love Shenanigan's. They are right on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food and service are very good. The people are friendly. You have to be military or have a pass to get on the base. read more

Shenanigans is a great place to unwind with some really great appetizers and entree's especially if you are on a budget or just want to chill. Absolutely one of the best views in the furthest western states of America. The sunset was nice cold one just sets the right Aloha mood. Forgot to take pictures of the shrimp appetizer but it was good....trust me I'm in sales. read more

People are great .. Burgers & Fries were great! Not your ordinary fast food burger! Dinner was well prepared all around! Location a slice a heaven on earth !! read more

When traveling with my retired Air Force in-laws, we have the luxury of getting access to places like this. The setting is stellar- right on the deserted beach. The food is pretty basic but it's really good. I had the fantastic Anahola burger and a nice cold beer. A perfect lunch at a very reasonable price. Such a great outing! read more

I'm Irish so I saw Shenanigans and put in the address to go enjoy lunch. What they don't say on the YELP is you have to have ID to get on the Navy base in order to eat here!!!! They should have it on their YELP so people who are not military do not waste their time, fuel & calm. PS The worker who answered the phone was super rude about it! I'm new to living on Kauai since losing all in Lahaina. DO NOT ASSUME PEOPLE KNOW!!!! ATTENTION: YOU NEED MILITARY ID TO DINE HERE!!!! read more

We frequent Shenanigans a few times a month and they are always phenomenal! Great food and great staff! Outdoor seating with beach sunset views every night! read more

I ordered a cheeseburger (well done) with French fries and a side of ranch dressing. What I got was a cheeseburger cooked medium (medium rare in the very middle) and no ranch dressing. Needless to say, I am pretty disappointed because the first time I ate this burger it was cooked perfectly; my food has definitely not been the same since that one day. Two stars for the fries being good and the awesome customer service. read more

The only good thing about this place was the view ! We arrived on a Friday and were so hungry for lunch.The menu was adorable it had a funny chicken joke and it was either pay and order your food or pay and buffet style. I had a burger that day and I don't like much red in my meat and the fact that it wasn't well cooked was enough for me not to eat it. The waffle fries were not my favorite. Nice place to stop by and try out maybe other foods are better! Only place on base to eat so worth checking out eventually if you're In the area. read more

Military ID required. Don't waste your time driving out only to learn that government issued drivers license isn't good enough. Can't speak to the views and ambiance as we weren't allowed through the gate, but it would have been nice if someone would have answered the phone and clarified the ID situation. Don't bother with these folks, go somewhere else for dinner and a view. read more

The ambiance is good and the view of the beach is spectacular. The service is good and waitress was friendly. The waitress told us that the ribs were out. But, that didn't stop me from ordering their ribeye steak. My steak was cooked to my satisfaction. What an awesome time and a great benefit for our military community. For those who see this establishment on Yelp. Do your homework before you come to this establishment. It is on a military installation. read more

Right before the pandemic the hubs and I took a lil trip to Kauai. The restaurant is located on a military base in barking sands so military ID is required. If auntie Nadine reads this then we can both laugh at what happened at Bellows lol. I believe barking sands is now requiring paperwork to your car rental in addition to ID. Due to Covid the bar is closed at Shenanigans, but they are offering takeout service. When precautionary measures start to ease up, and the restaurant opens, its a great place to view the whales(seasonal). The sunsets are insane and the food is very very good;) We ate at the bar when it was opened. The hubs and I ordered the Kauai garlic peel off shrimp without the head *upon request which was our appetizer. The shrimp was sweet, thick, fresh, garlicky, and delicious. Next, was wings which are one of my favorite foods to order. It's usually best with a side of beer;) The wings were deep fried perfectly making it crispy and meaty. Buffalo sauce was ordered on the side to limit the sogginess. The hubs had the rib-eye steak and oh my gosh.... it cut and melted in my mouth like butter. So ono!!! It was seasoned well, and was accompanied with vegetable medley. Overall great dinner experience!!! Even though dining in options are scarce, and change daily, weekly, and monthly dependent on where you are, takeout is an option. Check this place out if your able to get on base:) read more

bad service from blond hair lady. took about an hour to get food. once seated and after greated told they were out of entree.

Just past Waimea, on PMRF, there's a quaint little place called Shenanigan's. We went on our last evening in Kaua'i for the SHRIMP BOIL special. The price was $38 for a full order. It was literally full shrimp (head to toes) in a bag. There were other food in the bag like, potatoes, corn on the cob, and Portuguese sausage. Two bread rolls and dipping sauce came with. It was delicious. For ambiance, you can't beat the water from beach view. As for the Da' Pizza, don't bother ordering it unless you have the expectations of a 12 year old. Also, you are in Hawaii, order something local! Crust is flat and cheese is low quality, but hey, I am on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Oh and the drinks are tasty but weak; we had the lava flow and Moscow mule. Thank you Shenanigan's staff. read more

Pretty good food. Service is ok. They are short handed. Super nice atmosphere. Would recommend this place again if you're in the area as it's really all that's there for food. read more

We waited over 30 minutes to get waited on. Then went to the bar to ask if we needed to order at the bar or online. The bartender snapped at me saying she was working so hard she was sweating and I needed to wait! So went back to our table and sat down because there is no where else to eat here. Finally my spouse went to the bar and got us a drink. Then we ordered online for dinner. Our dinner took over an hour. The entire time we were there, there was only 10 tables with people. The family behind us said they had been there over two hours with no food! When our food arrived one of the three waitresses asked if everything was ok. It was not. Two hours with no employees greeting us, taking our order or even a glass of water. And the fish tacos were disgusting. Not just bad, stinky disgusting! Go in town for dinner. read more

The prices are reasonable. Food is edible but not great. Short staffed so wait times will be long.

Fun little MWR restaurant on PMRF. Food isn't fancy but so good (we had poke salad and loco moco). If you're in the area, check it out

We love Shenanigans. Best priced place to have a drink or dinner and the outdoor deck makes it the best place to watch sunsets on the island! The service is always friendly although it can take time to get food so go when you have time to enjoy watching the sun setting and the sea. During whale season you're almost guaranteed to spot whales from the deck which makes your dining experience super fun! read more

FYI Military ID required or you will be turned away. They were very nice about it but will take a copy of your ID and license plate just for coming to the gate before they turn you around. To bad really looking forward to the Mai Tai described in another review read more

Great food and service! Would recommend and have been going here for years! The pizza has been my favorite!

Awesome place to kick back relax and sip the best Mai tai you will will ever have!!! Great food and service. I would come here often but tough living in California! read more

The view at sunset and waitress deserved 4 stars but I had to give the food only 2 stars. Fish and chips were crazy greasy and the fish was definitely frozen. Jalapeño poppers were good but again, definitely frozen. Also. I would recommend that once the sun sets, move indoors. It became a serious bug fest and most folks don't enjoy flying critters in their hair, crawling on my neck and landing in my plate... Other than that it was great. Recommend ordering the shrimp and fish of the day read more

Slow service and the place was full of mosquitoes. Food is frozen that you can buy at the store and heat up. If I were just drinking I'd be ok but not for a family to eat dinner read more

Such a special place, food and service excellent. Be sure to read the wayfinding signs explaining the cultural, historical significance. The mo'oelo (stories) are priceless. Sunset with Ni'ihau and Lehua islands in the foreground, WOW! read more

Went on a Football game day afternoon, so they were only offering a limited menu. 5 people in our party, and all were extremely satisfied with both the quantity and quality of the food. I had an excellent burger with pineapple on it. Drinks were well made and price for my Mai Tia was cheaper than the beer at the previous day's restaurant. Would definitely go again if I go back to Kauai. read more

Meh to the food. Meh to the service. But the view is breathtaking and totally worth a visit. The beach and breeze are perfect.

Not sure why to review a place on a restricted base that is not available to the public, but after reading some of the crappy reviews below, I'll put in my 2 cents. Our extended family of 12 spent a week at the cottages on base, and this was our go to place. We probably had 5 dinners during our stay and no complaints from any of our crew. Kids loved the pizza and chicken strips. Adults loved the other menu items except for the picky Greek in-law who complained about the fish being too dry. I told him this wasn't the Ritz. He did like the poke though. Mostly standard food fare, but the experience was unforgettable with spectacular sunsets and ocean/island views. And the prices can't be beat anywhere else in Kauai. If you have a military ID, you need to stop by if you are on the remote west side of the island. You won't regret it. read more

They were remodeling the time we went, but we got our food to go. Large portions. The gentleman that took our order was friendly. Maybe next time we will go for the sunset view. read more

Verna, our bartender and server is very friendly! On two occasions, I had their char-broiled hamburger steak with grilled onions, brown gravy and roasted potatoes. Oh, it comes with fresh, not frozen, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower...deelish! read more

Located in the Pacific Missile Range Facility. After 09/11, the security is high to enter the Facility. If you are connected to the military, or traveling with those, this is the place to eat while you are staying the area. We had two dinners and unexpectedly enjoyed all of it. Caesar Salad, Sweet Potato Fries, Fish dish, Pizza, Margarita, was all good. Beautiful beach and sunset. YELP 365 - 205/365 read more

Had both lunch and dinner here on base. The view is awesome and if you stay after dark the view of the stars is amazing. The dinner food was a lot better than the lunch food. read more

Four-star beachside location/view and service. One-star food. But if you're on base, you're kind of a captive audience. A lovely place for sunset on a nearly deserted beach (not much access, after all). Cafeteria-grade food (ribs and a chicken sandwich with sweet chili sauce). In retrospect, perhaps we should have gone with pizza - they looked pretty good on other tables... read more

Quick, friendly service, good food, great view! Lots of fried things on the menu, but I'm kinda into that. :) Plus, they get it right--nice and crispy! Food was decent, but not orgasmic-ly amazing. read more
