    Best burgers on Kauai hands down. Friendly service. Fair prices. Great vibes. Can't wait for restaurant!

    Pulled pork sandwich
    Amelia D.

    Bomb food truck! Smash burger was hella fresh and the bun was amazing. Pulled pork was really tender and the bbq sauce was delicious. You could tell the bbq sauce was homemade. Plate came with one soy sauce. Had to pay $1 for a side of bbq. Mac salad was a mix of mac and potato salad. Amazing!! My family and I will definitely be back!

    Food truck. Was in the area and found by chance. Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich was very good. They had a big phone order so it took a little bit but it was good, even though a little messy. Requires napkins.

    In searching for a kalua pig plate lunch, I was happy to find theirs. Not best ever, but it certainly scratched my itch. Lovely servers in a casual but lovely little nook.

    Loco moco

    I love that this place have 1/2 size portions & options for under &13. Being on vacation it's very refreshing! This loco moco was very good & flavorful. The chicken plate also was delicious yet simple. Service was fine it's a food truck go it's grab and go.

    I came here on my yearly trip to Kauai with buddies while staying in Kapaa on the recommendation of a hostess at another establishment. I got the Candied Pig Blues burger (candied maple bacon and blue cheese) and the Asian Slaw side, both were outstanding. My buddy got the Loco moco. He liked his very much as well. Typical picnic tables for dining but they had shade to keep folks comfortable. No question I'm gonna be here again.

    They were closed a few extra days so we almost missed being able to try this place. We had a Mushroom Swiss and a Double Cheese w/fries. Both were very good. The wait time wasn't long, what you would expect for a burger. The patties were seasoned well and you can taste the quality of the meat. Be prepared to use your napkins! Overall I was impressed and glad we didn't miss the experience. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the sweet pickles, but that is just personal taste.

    Food truck that has large portion delicious burgers! Tried the candied pig blues burger which was freaking awesome if you like bacon and blue cheese. Definitely will return and try the loco moco!

    Pork plate
    Molly L.

    My partner got the pork combination plate but they ran out of Mac salad so they gave him rice and a side salad instead. He said that the pork was really well spiced and that the serving was generous. He was just sad that there was no mac salad. But because there was so much pork, he was able to eat this for two meals and enjoyed that aspect of his meal.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich was delicious! Nice and big portions. Well balanced in flavor of meat, sauce and slaw. The bread was soft and nothing seemed dry. It's a place you'll want to go back for more but really will be full. Biggest complaint is it is here in Kapa'a and nowhere near back home. Hawaiian BBQ at its finest.

    Waited 25 minutes for two grilled cheese sandwiches that were completely charred. Overpriced as well.

    Probably the best meal we had in a week long food focused Kauai vacation. The poke was extremely…read morefresh and deliciously seasoned. The Lau Lau was incredibly tender and tasted amazing. The shrimp rolls were packed with flavor and accompanied by a salty and spicy wasabi soy dipping sauce that really elevated the dish. While the fried chicken was great, it was overshadowed for me by the quality of the other dishes we tried there. The staff were extremely friendly and answered our questions and made us feel very welcome. The interior is nothing fancy and there is no on site seating, but there are plenty of great places to eat nearby. We took our meal a block down to Kauai Fruit Company (where we bought several truly amazing containers of fruit to accompany our meal) and sat at their picnic tables.

    FISH MARKET, full of regulars who know how to order, not tourist heavy. (serves hot food, too)…read more But, if you're like us, and wanted POKE the internet told you was great, then just order 1 POKE BOWL (only 1 fish type offered, no frills, no pretty toppings, sorry Insta dorks) - and maybe add A SIDE of another poke. And take it, somewhere else, to eat. No tables or seats, in this market. We ate ours, in the car, before heading to the airport. It was delicious, really fresh. Opens at 6am, so has that "We just caught this" feel. And not as "Pricey" as some Yelp Reviewers claimed it to be.

Drinks are strong and well made, with a solid variety of rums to choose from. You truly can't go wrong with any of the Mai Tais. Food was surprisingly good. We loved the kalua pork nachos, the poke bowl, and the panko battered keiki tenders. Perfect beach bar food but done right. If you're staying at the Hilton, you get two free Mai Tai vouchers per day at check in, which makes this spot an easy go to. One of the highlights was the chickens casually wandering up to the bar and the locals sharing background stories and cultural insight about the island. Relaxed, welcoming, and a really fun place to hang out.
