Experience Through Their Eyes

Excellent food, great service and atmosphere. We had a couple of drinks and then ordered the smoked chicken, pork and rib platter with rice to go (and ate on the beach). Simple and delicious. No brainer, just stop here.

Awesome beer selection, delicious food- we had the smoked bbq sampler and a pizza. Plus they have corn hole! This is the perfect Hawaii vibe to me- chill and unique not a stereotypical overpriced resort we've found so many other places.
