South shore grill is a legendary local spot just on the other side of kapahulu near kapiolani park. Everything here is so fresh and tasty. You can't go wrong, but the Cajun fish burrito is my personal favorite. The fish is always seasoned and cooked perfectly. And whatever they put in the white sauce is simply divine. The condiment stand has salsa and franks red hot - and I recommend slathering both on top for extra flavor. The Kalbi is also really good and I pretty regularly get the peanut butter temptation bites. You should too. Staff is super friendly. And while there is usually a wait, the food comes out pretty fast. It's good for dine in and take out for the nearby park and beaches. I appreciate the little touches here like the art and the chalkboard for playing games while you wait. Just overall super chill. And I love that they sell surf wax because this has somehow become the place where I buy it the most! Definitely swing by if you have the chance. You won't regret it! read more

DO NOT get the chicken. Rubbery & stringy. It was difficult to tear it apart with my fingers thats how rubbery it was. Update: spoke to the manager and this is not their normal. They were thankful I called so they can look into it. Still need to be observant of what they serve. read more

Casual dining definitely. However, there is a good variety of food options. From Fish Tacos to Quesadillas. My favorite is the Cajun shrimp . Service is great and friendly. Parking is tough on Monserrat but a few doors down is the empty restaurant that has parking in the lot. Great convenience, good food, and good service... I will return! read more

Really great tacos but everything on their menu is bomb. I love their suicide fries!! Awesome sweet treats too! Taco Tuesday has discounts as well. read more

We wanted shave ice from across the street but had to have lunch first so decided to try here since we usually just go Ruger but since that's gonzos need a new spot. Got the ono tacos. Didn't realize the sides and so just left as is... rice, mac salad, slaw. Rice not needed with tacos, and the slaw lacked flavor. Baby ate that with ketchup and was happy. Slaw was the star of the show. Not really a slaw person, but that was tasty and not too unhealthy feeling. Tacos were good, but not enough ono compared to the slaw in that. Hubs got mauka to makai...chose kalbi and ono. His rice was from the bottom the pot...maybe pot from day before. Hard and burnt. Couldn't eat most of it. Kalbi pretty good. I scraped of the sauce and liked it. Meat soft. His ono same as my ono so I didn't try, but he said good. Cute place. Parking can be little challenging in that area, but we found a spot across the street. Wish I read the menu better b/c probs other stuff I rather have tried, but I saw fish tacos on the top left and pretty much stopped reading. Rarely go that area but if in the neighborhood, I'd go back. Realized I didn't take a pic of the food...just of baby jamming to the music. Nice variety of oldies, local kine, not-local kine...pretty fun. read more

20 minute wait for 2 fish tacos. Great quality though, just make sure you call ahead. There isn't much room to wait for your food if there's a lot of people in the restaurant. read more

I was craving fish tacos at night and luckily South Shore was just a quick drive away. You can tell this is one of those casual local spots. They have a great variety of options on their menu, and I ordered the ono tacos, a kalbi taco, and onion rings. It seemed like there was only one chef and two girls were working the register and maybe prepping the takeout orders? Food took maybe 15 minutes and the portions were generous. The fish tacos were soooo tasty, especially with the cabbage slaw they put on top. It was marinated with some delicious sauce and made the taco. The kalbi was also a solid choice, and the meat was savory and flavorful. Also, the onion rings were fried to order and make sure to get a side of their addicting garlic aioli. Well done South Shore Grill! read more

I enjoyed a very reasonably priced dinner at this restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Breast Plate with Garlic Butter Sauce, Fries and Cole Slaw. A strawberry soda to drink. The food was fresh and tasty and hit the spot. You order at the front and pick up your food and seat yourself. The gentleman that took my order was friendly and very efficient. The vibe is relaxed and the restaurant is clean and laid out well. It was my first visit, but I would definitely return. read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp because of its high ratings. I did notice a few negative reviews but decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The restaurant felt rundown, and the dining space was extremely small. The seating area in the back felt cramped, closed off, and almost claustrophobic, so I chose to sit in the front instead. As for the food, it was disappointing. The fish was dry and rubbery, the beef was very salty, and I did not care for the rice. The vegetables were heavily covered in mayonnaise, which was not to my taste. I only took a few bites of my meal and did not finish it. My husband finished his meal and described it as "okay," but neither of us felt it was anything special. The one positive was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, based on the atmosphere, food quality, value, and the drive to get there, I would not return. While others may have a different experience, this restaurant simply was not worth the price for me. read more

The girl at the front was friendly and there are probably around 20-25 seats available for dine in. There is a bathroom available for patrons, but you have to be lucky with parking sometimes. Food was good and the portions were adequate for the price. They have stars next to their popular dishes so that helps when you're undecided on what to eat. I would definitely come back to try other items. read more

We stopped by for dinner on a Friday night with my friends from out of town. The street parking was super easy after 7pm surprisingly even on a Friday. I ordered the ono with pesto mac nut sauce on top. The food was great! I would come back! Even though there were a lot of people coming in for takeout, we were the only ones eating there, so it felt nice and laid-back. Just know that dining in here is pretty much self-serve. You grab your own utensils, water, and pick up your food at the counter so it's very casual. Take out is also an option if you want to hang out with your dog! read more

Went for fish tacos, but got the SSG mixed instead. Service 10/10. Fish Tacos always 10/10. Kalbi 8/10 good flavor little bit tough. BBQ chix 8/10. Tuna mac 7/10, something new to me, maybe I'm not used to it. Hapa rice, I prefer white rice but it's ok. Overall, I love this place. If there is an open stall out front I'll stop. Support local. read more

Found this place on Yelp. I was excited to try since the reviews were over 1k. I had to try the best selling fish tacos. Boy was I disappointed. The texture of the fish had lack of moisture and too firm making it difficult to enjoy. The tortilla didn't seem like it was even cooked. The sauce tasted ok but almost pointless because of the fish texture. We also waited about 25 minutes for our food, which felt too long. I was the second customer out of 3. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience I was hoping for. read more

Very excited to try the kalbi burrito. Unfortunately a couple of bites in I pulled out a very thick long hair. Continued to take a couple of bites more and not let it bug me, but then there was another hair lodged deep within the entire burrito. I then spit out my bite and asked them to make me another burrito, they would have but only 50% off instead of making me another one free of charge. Gross burrito and bad service. The burrito itself was very very sweet. Kalbi is typically sweet, but this was too sweet IMO. Without the hair I give the burrito a 6.8/10. read more

Food: Always solid, consistent, flavorful. I usually get the Cajun Ono Burrito and a Mac salad. On-point. Service: The staff are nice, and they're helpful. I've been coming here for years and haven't had an issue with speed of service. Sometimes it gets busy and the kitchen gets a little backed up, but not worth the grumpy comments I heard tonight from some people waiting longer than they'd like. Despite tonight's surge, the staff were kind and they were hustling. BL there's a reason it gets busy and people (even the grumpsters) keep coming back, ...South Shore just hits right. read more

I've been a regular at South Shore Grill for nearly 20 years, and it's still one of my favorite local spots. This is a family‑run business in the truest sense. I've literally watched the owners' kids grow up working behind the counter. The menu has a great variety, prices are reasonable, and the food is consistently solid. It's an easy stop before heading to the beach or park, and just as good when you're starving after a day in the water. If you've never been, get the fish burrito. The Cajun seasoning and macnut pesto are dialed in every time. South Shore Grill is a neighborhood staple for a reason. read more

We went here for dinner after a long day travel. Not too busy at the time when we arrived but we have a hard time finding parking spots nearby and circled a few times. Finally got one to park. The cashier was very friendly and gave us time to check out what we wanted. My hubby ordered the tow taco plates and I got the boneless kal-bi steak burrito. The tacos came with rice, slaw, Mac salad, it was huge! The burrito itself is very big with steak, slaw and all. But they are both very tasty and we were very full after for sure! The place has aplenty for sitting and it is well decorated with surfing stuff. read more

Great tacos! I love their fish tacos and could probably eat them every week because of the coleslaw. Tacos are large and refreshing. 2 tacos are the perfect amount and may even be too much at times. Amazing food but takes pretty long to get a couple of tacos. read more

First time coming here in a looooong time and it was awesome! Prices are a bit high but the food was made fresh to order and flavor was really good. We got the cajun shrimp plate (more like garlic shrimp, really garlicky and not too cajun but very delicious. Tuna mac salad didn't taste any tuna but was still decent, love the hapa rice), pastrami sandwich (family loved this, I'm not a huge pastrami fan), suicide aka poutine fries (no cheese curds, but shredded cheddar and gravy, this was just ok), and onion rings (good size portion for about $5). What really impressed me were the desserts. I really enjoyed the carrot cake (super moist, good flavor), chocolate cake (pretty good, bottom layer a bit dry but still good), peanut butter temptation (heard someone in line talk about it, peanut butter cookie with reese's inside, amazing). Chocolate chip cookie was just ok, mac nuts tasted a bit stale. Lots of seating in the back with ac, free water cups. Parking is a struggle, need to find street parking. Would def come back for the carrot cake, peanut butter cookie, and shrimp plate. read more

My bf and I came a bit before noon so they weren't too busy yet but they had plenty of seating in the back area. I got their cajun shrimp plate and I think the coleslaw, mac salad and the shrimp (it was very garlicky) were very good. However, I think the rice was a bit too dry and hard. The worker who took our order was very nice and gave helpful suggestions to my bf who was deciding between the different sauce options. We parked on the street and walked over and didn't have too much trouble finding parking. read more

I stopped by South Shore Grill while exploring the Monsarrat area near Diamond Head, and it quickly stood out as one of those local spots where the focus is entirely on fresh seafood and simple island-style plate lunches. The restaurant itself is small and casual, more of a neighborhood takeout spot than a formal dining space. Most people order at the counter and either grab their food to go or sit at the small outdoor tables nearby. The setup is simple, but that seems intentional since the real focus is on the food. One of the highlights here is the garlic ahi plate. The fish is cooked just enough to keep it tender while still preserving its natural flavor. The garlic seasoning adds a strong savory kick without overpowering the ahi itself. Like many local plate lunch spots, the meal comes with rice and macaroni salad, which balances the richness of the seafood and rounds out the plate. Portions are generous and satisfying. The restaurant tends to attract a mix of locals, surfers, and visitors who know where to find some of the better seafood plate lunches outside of the main tourist areas of Waikiki. What stood out most to me was the freshness of the seafood. Places that specialize in just a few dishes often execute them well, and South Shore Grill seems to follow that approach. Overall, South Shore Grill is a great place to stop if you are in the Monsarrat or Diamond Head area and want a straightforward seafood plate lunch that highlights fresh fish and bold flavors. read more

A little walk, but worth every step. Family owned business with really large, quality portions and extremely reasonable prices. Their tacos are huge, and stuffed full. The tuna Mac salad, coleslaw, and rice that comes with each meal is delicious and enough for 2 people. I'm a big eater and a 2 taco plate is huge. Don't miss out on their Cajun fries either, super good. I'm ok paying the prices of Waikīkī if the food is good, but too often it's mediocre. South Shore grill is AMAZING!!! Take the walk up the hill, you won't be disappointed read more

This is a pleasant little spot with fantastic food! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and very patient while my party and I looked through their menu. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures, but I got their fish burrito. I know... I know... they're known for fish TACOS, but I wanted a burrito. Plus, my mom got the tacos. What I will say, is that the fish is delicious, and their burritos and tacos are well constructed; they don't feel slim at all, but they're also not so stuffed that it's ridiculously messy! There's seating inside as well, if a little cramped. If it gets busy, you may just have to grab take out. Parking is also a bit tough, but even still, the food is definitely worth the effort. I'd say stop by if you're in the area! read more

I used to live a few blocks from South Shore Grill and could walk here to get my fix! After moving a bit father away, that luxury sadly disappeared. Today hubby and I were craving it and so decided on SSG for lunch. Parking is street parking, which can be limited, but there are lots of places to park if you circle the block and don't mind a short walk. The food is fresh and cooked to order. Both the burritos and tacos are dressed with their crispy cole slaw and aioli. Large portion sizes abound here, and while we usually split a burrito and the fries, today our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we ordered a two taco plate and a fish burrito. Service is simple you order at the small counter, and while there was a line today, it took no time to get through. The place looks tiny inside, but despite the crowd we were able to find a seat. They call your name at the window when your order is ready and then it's time to enjoy! My one must have here is the Suicide Fries. It's poutine style with gravy and melted cheese. The fries are crisp and holds up well to the toppings. It's oh so good! I tried it once with tots, I mean who doesn't love tots, but it wasn't sturdy enough for the toppings. So, I recommend sticking with the fries. Get ready for a sea of deliciousness. read more

My friend got the grilled Cajun ono burrito and I got the two-taco plate with one grilled Cajun ono taco and one kalbi taco. The aioli is amazing. It's flavorful, tangy, and light - it pairs so well with the fish. I love the concept of the kalbi taco, and it was pretty good, but not the best kalbi flavor - it was kind of dry, too :-/ I'm not really sure why the two-taco plate comes with rice honestly bc there's not really anything to eat it with lol. I tried adding it into the tacos but it didn't add much to it imo. I would probably try the fries next time. But the tuna mac salad is tasty and I love the coleslaw! read more
