    Nighthawk Beer Selection
    Todd R.

    Walked in just after 1p. There was two people at one end of the bar and another several chairs down. The guy sitting alone turned out to be the bartender. I asked what was on tap an he replied they didn't have anything on tap and gestured to the back of the bar. I looked and there's the selection of beers. Which was kind of impressive. I ordered my beer and asked if the kitchen was open. Bartender responded yes and left it at that. Didn't ask of I wanted a menu or even if I knew what I wanted to order. So I sat quietly finishing my beer and left. Don't think I'll be back here again. Nor will I recommend anyone to try this place.

    Nighthawk steak quesadilla with an order of fries cold Miller High Lifr

    First time here and I must say I was impressed. Ordered the Steak Quesadilla with a side of fries. This was enough for two people. It was as cheesy and was stuffed with plenty of steak served with a custom hot sauce on the side. It was delicious. The fries were hit and crispy. This along side my favorite bottle of beer really hit the spot.

    Great place to chill after work with a family. They have arcade games for kids and a good food menu. Newest addition is tacos ,nachos and Mexican food which is tasty . Try the chicken wings. Drinks reasonably priced .

    It's always a good time at The Nighthawk. Stopped in the other day, my wife and I played a game of cribbage. The food is always good, the beer is cold and Eddy is a congenial host. Thanks for the hat, brother.

    Went into Nighthawk this evening, while Everyone sitting at the bar looked at us as wel walked in including the bartender Mia. As we sat down she glanced over at us and proceeded to drink her drink, with no desire to assist us! I stood and went to the bar and asked do we need to come up here and order? With an attitude she answered ahh yeah it's only me here, I respond by saying well that's why I'm asking, how am I supposed to know you're the only one here!! With all the people sitting at the bar staring at us I turn around and tell her you know what, never mind! One of the customers mumbled something as we are walking out the door!' Service is shitty there, the bar smells of body order and the bartender Mia has an attitude that is just as the bar smells!! How are they still open?

    A divey dive bar of epic proportions! Went here with my guy for St. Patrick's Day shenanigans and it did not disappoint! Service was great (those ladies were hustlin''!). Burgers were JUICY and dripping down my arms (yasssss!). I would definitely swing by again.

    Pork Belly and Tots

    Chill place to have a cocktail and some food. The menu has something for probably everyone. We had the KungFu Plate. Deep fried Pork Belly with a spicy Asian style sauce. They also have free classic video games to entertain the kids if need be.

    A co-worker and I stopped in for lunch ... we wanted a libation and to sample some of the other items on the menu. This time, we tried the gyros sandwich and the hamburger steak plate. The gyros was hearty, tasty and very filling. I thought I'd be hungry when it was delivered because it looked small ... It wasn't. Lots of meat, veggies and tzatziki sauce. Yummy! The hamburger steak plate was interesting ... a mound of rice, a hamburger patty, grilled onions and gravy ... So far, normal. Now, add a cut up hotdog and a container of pickles. Hmmm, what have we here? If I had ordered this, I would have asked for French fries in place of the rice. The real value at Nighthawk are the drinks ... $7 for a Bombay Sapphire gin & tonic or a Jameson on the rocks. The same drinks are twice the price at a nearby bar & grill. We had more than one .... Service is great; the owner is friendly and accommodating. Thank you!

    Carnitas & carne asada tacos
    Avi M.

    I was craving some tacos this evening and encore saloon was the first place that came to mind but sadly another (Italian/Asian fusion) restaurant/bar took over the space. So we went to nighthawk instead. It's nice to see that they're open until midnight this evening on a weekday. I do enjoy the ambiance-- it may get loud due to the surround sound system but i personally like it and i enjoy singing out loud to the music even though no one could hear me lol. Owner was cool, working the bar as usual. Although, i only came here for one crave which were tacos. I enjoyed the carne asada and carnitas tacos! Kind of wish they were bigger ':D for $3-4 each. The wait time just to order our food was unnecessarily longer than expected. I understand that uncle is working the bar but what happened to "I'll be right back?" Or where are the rest of your staff to help outside of the kitchen? If it's just him, then kudos but there's an opportunity to improve on time management. Waited about 15-20 minutes just to get him to come to the table and memorize what we verbally ordered. As we waited for another 15-20 minutes for the food to come out (it was only 4 small tacos and 1 burrito...), thankfully there was some tv entertainment that distracted us in the meantime. Despite all of the others times that I've visited nighthawk, I've never experienced this kind of service until today. I did not feel as valued as the customers who sat at the high top bar. He catered to them more than the customers who simply just wanted to order food. Even though i did not feel like ordering a drink tonight, I'm a customer too. I'm just here for the food. The tacos were overall simply good. I wish their spicy sauce was a little more spicier but that's ok. The tacos are the average price that you can pay anywhere else for tacos but there's no special wow factor to these ones. Also i don't think if it's just the table or the table material but it felt like our table was not cleaned before getting seated.

    Five star service from a friendly team. Felt like we were walking into cheers because the bartender knew my husband from a previous visit at least a month prior. We did not eat any food as we were waiting for a dinner reservation elsewhere but we did see some super fast service take place and good communication between the staff. The theme here is reminiscent of the night hawk painting as the block is very dark and lonely but the atmosphere is not. It felt like a chill place to have a drink and converse with new folks. The bartender made a mean Mai tai which I very much enjoyed. Had a good balance of all the right flavors with a good bit of lime. We will be back!

We were seated immediately at a table that afforded us an excellent view of Diamond Head. The unhindered breeze gave the place a relaxed island vibe. Service was top notch with friendly and mindful servers who made sure we were comfortable and answered any questions we had concerning the menu items. We decided on the Diamond Head breakfast with the Portuguese sausage and the Tokyo style pancakes. The Diamond Head Breakfast was the standard two eggs, meat and potatoes. But the Tokyo style pancakes were excellent! They were fluffy with ricotta cheese incorporated in the pancakes. This is our first experience with this type of pancake and it was delish! It was well worth the visit!

We tried the truffle fries, calamari, haupia French toast, kim chee fried rice, and braised short rib loco moco. Everything was tasty, but if I had to pick one dish to order again, it would definitely be the kim chee fried rice, as the portion was huge & tasted yummy. We also shared a few bottles of mimosas, and the iced mocha was delicious and perfectly chocolatey. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get pretty warm, especially during the summer. They have a large covered area and can cover portions of the restaurant that are getting direct sun, but if you're visiting during the daytime, I'd definitely recommend bringing a portable fan. You could also call ahead and request a table that isn't directly in the sun. Overall, we had a great brunch experience and would definitely come back again!

This place is located on the second floor of South Shore near Nordstrom Rack. This place was spacious and had a bar style vibes. There is a bar counter in the back as well as a lot of dine-in tables. Dynamite fried boneless chicken bites: We got this on their happy hour menu. The chicken bites were good. It was large and meaty. The breading was good. Crispy and seasoned. It wasn't hot temperature wise though. Garlic bacon fried rice: Wow, absolutely love this fried rice. So much flavor and very savory. The yellow pickles in the rice were very smart. Adds some crunchy texture and tangy taste to it. Fish and chips: The fish was good, moist and golden crispy. The tsukudani aioli was delicious. A very different aioli sauce. We got an upgrade on the fries and chose the truffle parmesan fries. Good truffle flavor and the fries were thin and crispy. Not enough parmesan on top though. Overall, really enjoyed their foods. The portions were big and perfect for sharing. The service was not bad, our server was friendly but she did disappear afterwards so we had to go to the bar counter to fill our waters on our own.
