    I wanted to come here so bad and they did not disappoint with the great food especially for a good price! There was line but it went pretty fast! The steak was cooked to perfection definitely will be returning!

    Steak/Combo plate

    A hidden gem next to the Outrigger Reef Hotel on the Beach. There is a path to walk on the right side as you head towards the beach. Once you reach the beach, the Shack will be on your left next to a shave ice place. They serve just three things - steak, chicken, & Kalbi & they even cut it into small bite pieces. We got their steak/chicken combo plate & it was really good. It comes with rice, tossed greens & two choices of dressing - Italian or Ranch. It also comes with a killer teriyaki sauce for the steak. The chicken itself I believe was cooked with that killer sauce. We got here at 4pm & were lucky that there was no line. We passed by around 6:30pm & there was a long line that stretched onto the beach sand. Go early if you can. If I'm in the area again, I'm definitely coming here.

    Steak and Chicken Combo

    Pretty simple in terms of menu options, but it's hard to beat that beachside location. I tried the Steak and Chicken combo (personally think the chicken was better) and was pretty satisfied. Most likely going to have a wait time as it's a popular spot on the beach.

    Very tasty and a large portion. I got the 6oz steak plate and it was great. Even the rice had a lot of flavor. They were busy but the food was ready quickly. You just walk up and order right on the beach.

    Recommended by someone we met at the resort pool and checked it out tonight for dinner. Line was long but it went fast. Ordered two 12 oz steak plate one medium and one well done. Cashier said 20 min wait but it took like 30 min. Luckily for us, we found the perfect place to sit just in time to watch the sunset (picture #2). Food wise, they gave a huge portion of rice, meat and salad. But our meat was cooked the same way (well done) even though I asked for medium. 4 stars because the steak was too "peppery" for me even if drenched with the yummy teriyaki sauce it came with. And yes, it was pretty pricey. Still have to think about if it's worth it. Would I go again? I would but will share a plate next time :)

    For the cost of this plate in Waikiki, it does a great job. Pepper steak done right at whatever steak doneness you want. This combined with a salad. I got the ranch dressing and chose to skip it because it tasted like a very generic ranch, homemade ranch would have hit the spot. Instead I just used the teriyaki sauce over my salad. This is all over a generous pile of rice. The wait is a good 30-40 min to order and get you food but it was worth it.

    Was staying at the Outrigger Reef next door, so we dropped by for a bite to eat. The line can be long because it's extremely popular, and rightly so. Even though the line may be long, the service is fast. Their menu consists exclusively of steak plate lunches, thus the name Steak Shack. We got the 14-ounce steak plate for $27. The sliced steak is on a bed of rice, and the salad is in a separate container. It's very, very good, and is reasonably priced as my wife and I shared the plate lunch, and still have some left over. Steak Shack is located on the beach on Kalia Rd, so it's very convenient if you're staying at Outrigger Reef, Halekulani, or Hale Koa Hotels. Highly recommended!

    I come to Honolulu once a month for work and this is my must stop! The food is sooooooo good. The steak I get is medium well and melts in your mouth. The Salad and ranch is amazing and I love the soy sauce that comes with it. Perfect combination with rice and everything. I always have to have A1 with my steaks but this steak doesn't need it. The staff is very friendly the outside area is clean. Highly recommend!!!!

    The steak was so dry. My friend and i separately and both were so incredibly peppery. When you order they ask how you want the steak to be cooked but kinda seems like they mass cook it all to a well done. Definitely not worth the 45 min wait. The location is really nice though since its right on the sand so you can eat it while enjoying the sunset or something

    Might as well be called stoke shack, such a great place. Come here approximately 7pm on a Friday and find a sweet table for the weekly fireworks which go off right next to here. Simple menu, chicken or steak. I couldn't decide so I got both. Portions are big. Walk up place with simple menu. Obviously we're in Waikiki and prices are high, but this a great option instead of proper restaurants. Check this place out!

    Cindy H.

    The food is fresh. You have tables on the side of the building they have stools. The view of the beach is beautiful. The food is good and the portions are great. The chicken is dark meat. I should have asked. It is very flavorful. The salad is fresh and the rice is done perfectly. The steak is delicious and flavorful.

    My buddies and I were excited to try this place after seeing all the raving reviews; unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe I just caught them on an off day though. When ordering at the counter, the cashier asked how we wanted our steaks cooked. My buddy requested medium rare and I asked for medium. Both plates came out noticeably overcooked, which made asking for our preferred cook temps feel pointless and extra disappointing :( Not going to lie, the flavor was quite the letdown also. All we could taste was pepper - they must've blasted the steak with it. I'm usually all for a peppery steak, but this was way too much, even for me. Service was friendly and the location was convenient - it's a small shack located on the beach. The meal was too much of a disappointment to return though.

    Well well well, da bad boy of Yelp is back firing off reviews like it's the daily news. You're welcome. Shake it uh uh yea shake it. Shake it for Steak-a Shack-a. The shack packed with guests and glory. Finna been trynna munch on deez Grindz for a couple years you know. My last venture in Waikiki, I departed without even the scent let alone the sight and forgot about the disco in my mouth. A missed opportunity. I hate missed opportunities. I'd rather steal home on a wild pitch with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th with no other runners on, down one than sit there on the bag like a poliwag. My purpose in life is to catch them all. To taste it all. I wanna dance, come on! Let's dance! FOMO? No. I can't miss out when I am the party. I'd rather sit on my porch at 7pm and feel the pressure of the moon on my skull. Reminding me I'm just a mere human smaller than the size of a wee particle of cumin. I'm nothing. I cry crystalline tears as I look out over the porch wondering what's happened to me. Why did nobody invite me to dance at the disco. I've been working on a feverish routine. Is this world too big for even I? What happens when I die? And then the moon withers away, the sunrises and all returns. I am the center of the universe. I'm no longer that wolf boy. My pet mule is healthy. Clearly - I'm not a FOMOller, but I can get down with a foam roller. The glutes. The gyrations when you're working the hip flexor. Doing that in an open gym should be illegal. Anyways, Steak Shack. Full on attack. Had it cornered by all angles. It's literally on the beach. You gotta walk through some Hotels, as far as the eye can't see until you hit the sand. When you hit the sand you'll smell a smell so smelly you can taste it. You like it. Fragrant, aromatic, and overpowering. The hunt is on. Last time I was in Waikiki a local actually recommended the spot. Bang for a buck - Get extra sauce. I still remembered his advice, like when Chubbs ghost reminds Happy to go to his happy place. Bang for Buck! Oh yeah!!!! This much steak is a crime for this price - And I love breaking da law. The weight of the container will bring you down, but the taste of this will bring you right back up. If Steak Shack was down the street from me I'd get it nearly every day for lunch. Was that content with this meal. The steak is cooked in some type of soy mixture, which I believe is that little container they give you to drizzle on top. Then they provide some type of ranch that's more of a yum yum cream. The sauce splits through the cracks of the vegan leafs and into a full batch of white rice underneath this whole contraption. Steak cooked wonderfully, and it's very tender. I shared the experience with a lawful relative who couldn't have agreed more. Sometimes, the pipe matches the hype. They laid the pipe. Broke da mout and I got hype. Easy 5/5. If LB ever returns to the island - these onolicious Grindz will be on my itinerary. The highest of compliments from ya boy, the bad boy of Yelp... Linguini B.

It can get cold inside so bring a jacket if you get cold easily like me. I did not use the restroom so I can't speak on that. Staff were very friendly and they were very attentive and our cups were always filled. Their dessert menu is small but what we had (banana bread pudding) was tasty!

Not only did they offer a beat-up chair that he could sit directly on, they gave him ICE water and his own chopped-up plate of steak! It looked so good my husband wanted to sneak a bite, and it was enough for a large dog, so my puppy made a 'doggy bag' and ate it over a week! We knew this was the spot to have his 1st birthday party! Booked a table, and again he got his doggy chair, water, and steak! The family had a great selection of Steaks and Pastas (I loved the Oxtail pasta) and an extensive scotch list. Parking was easy. I'd say to plan ahead and order as soon as you sit down because the food did take quite a long time.
