Lunch in Haleiwa, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. We were driving around the island and wanted a nice lunch. I used my Yelp app and found Haleiwa Beach House. There was a free parking lot right next to the building. We didn't have a reservation, but were seated right away since it was a week day, I think. Service was efficient and friendly. Our water glasses were filled before we had to ask! The interior was modern and bright. It was an open-air establishment... no air-conditioning. We both had the grilled mahimahi with ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce which came with a side of white rice. It was tasty, but a bit overdone for the price. I realize that we were in a touristy place and we had a view of the beach across the street. I did appreciate the small propeller gadget on our table that chased flies away!

First time visiting Hawaii and we made the drive to the North Shore based on recommendations to try…read moreHaleiwa Seafood -- and it was absolutely worth it. We ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and the Loco Moco, and both were incredibly satisfying and flavorful. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and exactly the kind of local food experience we were hoping for. If you're heading to the North Shore, definitely make time to stop here. You won't regret it.

Back again! First I want to say, the food is delicious! We had the loco moco again. We also had a…read morefried ahi katsu fish burger with taro bun and chili aioli. That was was spectacular. It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

Not overly salty which I really love. They were using big block quality mesquite wood charcoal for it and I noticed they actually put love into every chicken. I liked seeing them care about the flies and try and do what they could do keep them away. The vibes are chill and the food is on point. People saying that it needs more seasoning just didn't order correctly. You can order extra mother's seasoning for it, or buy your own Ray's seasoning to put on. Slit you like salt so much, In suggest salt packets in your purse or wallet. Some people like to taste the flavor of the meat. Cheers!

Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken is a local favorite that has a pretty intense following. Many people…read morecome here to enjoy the chicken. It is literally cooked outside on a nice fire. Waited in line for a little bit and maybe about 30 minutes our chicken was done. Ordered just a whole chicken to try and this was my first time having it. The seasoning is light and the chicken is juicy. I would say this actually tasted pretty alright. But I think I like mine slightly saltier or seasoned more. But overall if you ever see this off the road you should stop by and try it out.

This is my go-to poke spot whenever I'm on the North Shore in Haleiwa. The poke is consistent and…read morealways tastes fresh. If you like lots of toppings on your poke, this is the place for you! I got the two-choice poke bowl and my sis got the same. If you don't want the crab salad, they will let you choose three toppings instead of two. The Okinawan sweet potato is one of my favorite toppings! This place can get pretty busy, so be ready with your order when you get to the front of the line. The staff is usually a little abrupt when you order... not rude, just not overly friendly either. There's indoor seating, and parking is available in the back.

They were extremely busy. But the upside is that they have a private parking in the back. In addition to poke bowls, they have seafood plates, burgers, and local plates. Lots of options here for the entire family. This place is small but there's seating on their porch and inside where there's AC. If you're in the area. It's a must stop!

Staff is friendly, very chill and have great customer service. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a lot to accommodate a lunch rush. Got their Seth and Shem Burger. Bun was sweet, soft. Burger was seasoned perfectly and done medium, tons of juice. Veggies were fresh and definelty a nice breather from eating rice all day! (Not a bad thing lol) their crazy fries are similar to in n outs animal style fries! Highly recommend if you're looking for a bite to eat or want something to take before hitting Laniakea or Waimea Bay!

There are plenty of burger choices. The French fries my husband brought back had onions, spread and cheese on them. I thought they were pretty delicious. The order was to-go and we all ate inside Jax Pizza since there was no space on the deck. Service took a little bit but when food is cooked fresh for you, it's understandable it's a little longer of a wait.

First, the food was delicious. I respect the chefs for continuing to serve perfectly cooked steaks…read moreand side dishes. I was really torn between 3 stars because the cooks did well here and they deserve 4 stars. The rest of it deserves 2. This is a tourist area, I get it. Unfortunately, it felt like the bar is low here.. I support local business when we can, especially when we celebrate special occasions. This was my birthday dinner and I brought my family here to celebrate with me. It's disappointing they would treat local or tourists subpar or different. I know what it means to have a good relationship with a server and have a beautiful and exciting, dining experience. I a did not have that here. The hostess were fine, I do wish she had encouraged us to wait for the patio the extra few minutes. The inside dining area was okay but with children in our party, it would have been better for us to sit outside on the patio so the kids could play in the grass area while eating waiting for food or while adults were chatting. My kids could see kids playing from our table inside and wanted to be there too. The gratuity for a party of 7 at 20% is unfavorable. Our service here was not worthy of a 20% tip unfortunately. Our check was about $400. For an update. We again went to the other location two weeks later and it was in fact 18% for gratuity. 18-25% related to the servers service is what we provided for their service and attention. The lack of kindness in our server Rhys at this location was evident and I felt like we annoyed him just existing. I don't think he smiled at all. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I get we all have off days and a party that have 5 minors, 3 of which were kids menus doesn't equate for poor service or annoyance. It's still a good check and tip from us. On to the food--- The prime rib was perfect and tender, the price is worth every penny. The mashed potatoes were good. The small serving of green beans and onions was underwhelming. The top sirloin was really good, cooked a perfect medium rare on a bed of mashed potatoes. The sauce added a perfect flavor. The ribs were pretty good, they were a little tough and didn't fall off the bone but had great flavor and sauce. The kids burgers were perfect portions though the sprinkle of fries for kids was a little disappointing to them because it's French fries, if my 3 year old can clean a plate there's not enough. They did ask for pickles and they were all impressed with them providing pickles. The drinks were mediocre. The mai tai was large, did not pack the typical Mai tai punch I enjoy, I would not order again. The lilikoi margarita has a great flavor. For me personally, my service at the Kaneohe location was very different and was one of the most pleasant dinners I have ever had on the island - after this meal in Haleiwa, I actually returned to the Kaneohe location for my daughter's birthday and was again blown away by their food and service.

The…read morefirst thing that took me off that was the parking situation there we had to pay two dollars to park our car to get the food although it was just quick and quick out kind of a parking lot situation there. Second part was the staff was extremely uncommunicative. I understand they're running a big business a lot of customers, but they're just taking the orders. Daughters were not coming in the right order. The folks who came after me got their orders. We didn't get the kind of order that we asked for even though we mentioned what we want how we want it was super rainy muddy they didn't care to do any arrangements for the customers to be comfortable the path was so slippery that I saw many people fall down in rain. I know it's a great experience to be around that area to have food on the food truck, but safety is another main concern that every business owner should consider looking into I ordered the spicy and hot shrimp. I can take more spice, but there wasn't any flour. I failed. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was extremely mushy. Looks like it was left in water for a while to become that way if the name is carrying the weight of the business, I expect the quality to follow as well. No wonder the ratings of this specific location is lower than the other one. And that experience of ambience was. Unhealthy and untidy.

The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.
