Delicious cheeseburger. Fries were nice and hot but I think I got the bottom of the batch. Severely overcooked. The interior of the restaurant needs some updating. Mathew our waiter and busboy was great. Great views of the ocean.

We just left the restaurant. Would have to say the entire experience was wonderful. From the service to the food to the views. From the outside, nothing special, but much more that meets the eye.

The food- we had the fresh catch of the day (red snapper) and it was delicious. The fish tacos were to die for (had one fried and one grilled). We also had side salad and the cup of chowder. I would highly recommend the fresh catch and tacos.

The service- paka was so friendly: we enjoyed getting to know her and hearing about her life. The owner Greg was moving around and being very friendly, we loved meeting him! He made the whole dining experience sublime.

The view- ocean view unimpeded. What more could you ask for?

Highly recommend this small 7 min drive from hanalei. It’s absolutely worth it. It was our favorite dining experience and we found it on our last night here. Do yourself a favor and come in to this place.

This is a bar and grill style restaurant serving the local hotel nearby. It is right on the beach and worth a stop if you are heading to Tunnels beach.

Great place to grab a beer or food. Sit out side and enjoy the ocean surf. The folks there are super nice and easy to talk with.

Check out the adjacent gift shop for cool paraphernalia and fresh brewed coffee and some home made bakery (in the refrigerator).

This place has a cool old world Hawai’i vibe. Feels like a place where surfers would once have roamed. Minimalist decor and a old world tile floor make it perfect for people needing a rest bit from the beach.
Check it out.

Met the owner when walking in, greeted us and made sure we got the best table. We had a beautiful waterfront view (that’s the beach picture), even though it was rainy when we went, there was a little outside area that was so pretty. We had a bit of a wait due to a high volume of takeout orders, but the they were so friendly and apologetic. When the food did come, the fish tacos were AMAZING! Knocked it out of the park, definitely recommend. The grilled fish sandwich was fresh, but a little dry (at least for our tastes). Big chocolate fans would love the banana lumpia! Overall, Cool vibe, live music, good food. We will try to come back on a Thursday for open mike night! The owner said great local talents come out and it’s a good time! Check this place out if you’re coming from Tunnels beach!!

This is one of the only restaurants on the north shore that is in very close proximity to the beach with amazing views of the waves. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food came out pretty quickly. The fish and chips and fish sandwiches we ordered were fresh and delicious and the Hawaiian cocktails were top notch. The owner Greg seemed like a great guy and really appreciated us eating at his restaurant. Definitely check this place out if you are driving to the north east side of the island.

I’ve never regretted a food purchase this much in my entire life. We order the pasta primavera with the $10 chicken add-on and $50 later I have an inedible box of food. The chicken is drier than the sand on the beach, the broccoli disintegrated into mush, on a bed of cheap pasta and canned tomato sauce. Service was lovely though!

Eat here if you’re in the area!

It’s a cozy local spot with excellent service. These people care about their community and customers.

The food was delicious, local, and fresh. We got the poke nachos and catch of the day.

It’s right on the ocean and they have live music too!

The experience here was 10 times better than our hotel restaurant. We stayed at 1Hotel. We were so relieved and refreshed to eat here at a caring restaurant!

Thanks!

Warning: Avoid “Oh-Crapa-Crapa” Grill & Bar at all costs. If you’re even thinking about eating here, don’t. Turn around, drive away, and save yourself from this overpriced tourist trap.

We made the mistake of stopping by after a day on Kauai’s North Shore. The place boasts about being the only oceanside eatery in the area but that’s where the appeal ends. The interior is a joke—sad string lights, mismatched tables, and zero effort in decor. It felt like they gave up halfway through setting up.

The food? A complete rip-off. We ordered a $34 salad that promised “island greens.” What we got was a pile of romaine lettuce and a few lifeless tomatoes. Adding chicken was a mistake—it was lukewarm, rubbery, and clearly microwaved. No grill marks, no flavor, just pathetic.

The flatbread was even worse. A soggy, misshapen mess slathered with balsamic, pesto, and those same sad tomatoes. It was like they cleaned out the fridge and called it a dish.

Hoping for redemption, we ordered a mai tai. What we got was a watered-down excuse for a cocktail that tasted like regret.

Some reviews rave about the “amazing ambience.” Are these people delusional? Sure, there’s an ocean view, but that doesn’t make up for the overpriced, subpar food and lackluster atmosphere.

The owner is clearly taking advantage of being the only option in the area, ripping off tourists with overpriced garbage. We’ve eaten everywhere—from Michelin-starred restaurants to hole-in-the-wall joints—and this ranks among the worst.

Do yourself a favor: skip this place. Drive the extra miles back to Hanalei and get something decent. Even a gas station granola bar would be a better choice.

Great food (fish and chips, fish sandwich, quesadillas, and fried rice. Kids had a cheeseburger, grilled shrimp, and chicken tenders). This place is located in a very scenic part of the island and about 20 minutes or so from Princeville. Would definitely return!

Got here for a quick bite so didn’t order a lot of food. Ordered crispy fish tacos which was more like the American version rather than Mexican one. Totally expected that so no complains there. The tacos tasted nice and fresh with fried fish and the batter was well seasoned. My husband ordered soup of the day – creamy soup with fish and potatoes. Reasonably priced. Two fish tacos for $13 before tax. The ocean views are really nice but no outdoor seating. You can still go outside and take your drinks along. The beach views are great for photos!!
