    Kekaha Beach

    Best service we've had in Kauai! The filet was perfectly cooked and the meals came out fast. Our server was incredibly welcoming and personable. Felt like home here at The Saddle Room. You need reservations via their website but they still got us in! Love this place - great place for early dinner then catch the amazing sunset at Kekaha Beach.

    Wrangler burger and garlic fries
    Angela M.

    The restaurant had live music which was lovely. We sat in the lower area which was air conditioned. Our order got "lost" so food was delayed a bit. The garlic fries are to die for. My husband I thought they were possibly the best fries we've ever had. Burgers were good but not great.

    Nice selection at the bar

    As another helper submitted. The cheeseburger and a Bloody Mary is a good combo. And I fully concur. For a small charge your burger will come with a nice side of steak fries. Bartender will adjust the spiciness of the BM to your liking.just ask your server. Burger is a nice grass fed number. Nice and meaty patty and well cooked. ambience is nice and it's connected to Wrangler if u need a finer dining experience. Only separated by a door and ownership Stop in sometime on the way back from the pacific Grand Canyon for a delightful treat. And save room for the pie

    Great drink selection.

    We spent much of our trip dodging storms and floods in our rental Nissan Versa with no insurance coverage, so boy we're we glad to find some sunshine on the west side of Kauai. All that driving and angst made us pretty hungry so I looked up BBQ in Waimea and am so glad we found this place! It was a Sunday so we were relegated to the small bar area (there's a larger restaurant attached that is open throughout the week). The grill outside was fired up and manned by an employee flipping a number of Burger patties over a wood flame. Those are apparently the star of the show so we each got one. I got the BBQ and caramalized onion while my wife got the blue cheese. We both added garlic fries which was worth the upgrade. They have an extensive beer list and a great selection of cocktails as well. I went with a Maui POG IPA while my wife got the passion fruit Mai Tai. Unlike other places on the island, her drink had just a touch of juice and loads of rum. Would have given the place more stars, but the smoke from BBQ overtakes the whole place so we smelled of firepit for the rest of the day. Without a place to shower before jumping on our flight this wasn't ideal. Given all the rainstorms, the ocean was out as a rinse option as well! Sorry fellow flight passengers! Anyway, if you are adverse to the smell of bonfire, maybe make your order to go!!!

    We stopped by this restaurant after our boat excursion. I'm so glad we did. It was delicious! We were greeted and seated right away. The employees are very friendly. I love the both the outside and inside of this place. Outside on the porch is where they grill your meat. Inside had good vibes and very chill. We had come at lunch time but we were told at night time they have music. We ordered the "Wrangler Burger" with garlic fries and ordered a rib eye which the grill for you once you order. The burger was tasteful. The rib eye though was delicious. It didn't have too much seasoning but just enough to be delicious. It was cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely come back..... hopefully for dinner.

    Fish dish

    I was invited to do a Holiday Safety Training here as well as be part of the holiday luncheon, and it was beautifully decorated. The place wasn't open to the public so we had the space of ourselves, and even though it was a smaller space, it was still spacious enough that we weren't bumping elbows. There was one person working, and she was our waitress/bartender.. she was absolutely awesome! She was really friendly and attentive the whole time; our cups were always filled with water and she kept asking if we wanted another drink. The food.. my prime rib was absolutely delicious- flavorful and tender! The person next to me had the fish option, and another person had the vegetable dosh.. everything smelled so delicious- I was especially intrigued by the vegetable dish because it was veggies with pasta mixed in a pesto sauce.. I will definitely come back to try other items on their menu and recommend you stop by if you're in the area.

    Can't get enough of grass fed Makaweli meat

    Cattle farms are aplenty in Kauai, so it is a must to eat a burger or steak when you dine on this island! Came here on a Sunday afternoon around 230 PM. There was ample parking found in back. You can spot this place with the griller out front with flipping the BBQ. If you come on a Sunday, the restaurant side is closed and only the bar side is open. You get the divey feel with one flat screen television to view the game. We walked in and it is so strange, but you think you can seat yourself b/c there is no sign to prompt you if you must wait for a table. Just be sure to check in with the bar tender so they can sit you down when tables open up. The wait time for the food does take patience, so if you plan to dine in or take out when it is busy, please be sure you have time to wait. The outside does have two saddles to sit on, but it seems more for kids. Therefore, as you wait for tables, you may also have to deal with patrons who are getting take out, but just enjoying a drink. My bro ordered the Western burger with fried onions, bacon, cheddar cheese, and mushrooms for $11 which comes with garlic fries for an additional 50 cents. I say, its a must to get it with garlic. The flavor along with the crispy fries is a hunger-stopper. I ordered the Paniolo burger which comes with grilled onions and bbq sauce for $10. The burger meat was lackluster. I ordered it medium, but I was surprised the patty was dry. I think if I got the extra stuff, that comes with the Western, I would of enjoyed more grease, which means, more flavor! Bathrooms are in the restaurant side, which is up the stairs to the right. The also have a gift shop, but it is closed on Sundays. They did accommodate a family to sit on the dining side a half an hour before their closing time at 4 PM. I thought that was nice but it would of been better if they have started that sooner. It is very hot in there, and mixed with the bbq smoke coming from the entrance, it would not be good for someone who has breathing problems. I was also sad that they did not advertise we could order from their fresh meat cuts for an entree, but the family who dined in was able to. The squeakiest wheel gets the grease! Their chocolate molten cake was very good, small and comes with fudge and raspberry drizzle topped with vanilla ice cream. I am not sure what brand, but it was yummy per bro. They do have a vanilla cake option as well. I say come here on a day when restaurant side is open so you can have many entrees to choose from. I also think if i get the chance to come back, I want to order their lamb burger. This restaurant is owned by a mother and daughter and their crew working is laid back and friendly. Just thought my burger would of been unreal good based on the five star average.

My wife and I specifically came to the area to sample their beers and try their food, and found the beer to good/great while the food was OK. It opens at 11 on weekdays, and we arrived soon after, so found street parking easily. We were some of the first customers, and our choice of inside seating. The building is two stories, with the upstairs being used as an arcade (classic 80's pinball machines). The large bar is the center of the downstairs, and they sell shop memorabilia as well. Tried a 4 sampler flight (no discount for flight, just sum of the 5 oz beers chosen). Their most popular is the Lilikoi, which we had just tried at a restaurant a couple days before, so we skipped that. Instead we got: Chupa lager (Mexican cerveza which was refreshing), Wheat (which was my least favorite...kinda flat/limp with little flavor), Alaka'I Stout (my favorite, creamy and almost chocolatey), and a Sour with calamansi (which my wife liked the best, I thought it tasted like a shandy). As for food, we got two entrees. My wife got the Kalua Pork Sandwich ($22): pretty much all pulled pork sandwiches are called Kalua in Hawaii, no matter how it is made. That being said, this version was OK with the fries being very good (similar to Five Guys fries, fried in peanut oil maybe). I had my favorite: Loco Moco ($22) which was well prepared, and the white rice was good. But the beef patty was mediocre (tasted like a standard preformed food service patty from frozen...it wouldn't have stood out in a burger). The one egg was cooked well and I really liked the homemade gravy. There is a 3% credit card surcharge, and Toast is the payment processor.

They also had a live band playing, which created a fun atmosphere and it looked like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sit and eat, though, it can get a bit loud, nothing against the live music, just something to keep in mind depending on what kind of dining experience you're looking for. The ahi nachos were a bit disappointing for us. The ahi itself was fresh and tasted great, but the "nachos" were actually more like fried wontons instead of traditional nacho chips, which felt a little odd and just wasn't really our thing. It would've helped if that was disclosed on the menu or if the server gave a quick heads up beforehand so expectations were clearer. On the positive side, the Tempura Ahi Bites were our favorite dish out of everything we ordered, definitely the standout item for us. The rib plate was also decent with satisfying portions overall.

The first time we spent just over $100 for a family of 5, and last night we got out of there for $88. That is a feat in this part of town! The happy hour is unbeatable. $7 drinks and 25 cent wings. Note that you have to have minimum two drinks per person, but they don't have to be alcoholic--we got a cocktail as our first and soda water as the second. The cocktails are quite large, so you can still get the $7 price if you order a soda or sparkling water as your second drink. The waitress was super helpful and let us know that last night!
