The fish tacos were very bland in my opinion and the tortillas were cold. The BLT sandwich was okay not the best we have had. I do have to say that the service was great both ladies were very attentive and provided great customer service. Pretty view while we had dinner

This place lives up to its name. BIG KAHUNA is just that. Big smiles. Big warmth. Big on you being comfy and happy. Big all the time. Our waitress just started, and she was amazing. Very helpful, very much full of Aloha. The food was a wow factor! And their bartender was the force of Awesomeness! This place is a great kickback and relaxing place. Much aloha to the crew

Great laid back bar vibe, overlooking very busy pier for row team, water sport etc….Food is typical for the area, Reuben was delicious, but slight salty. Their take on key lime pie is awesome . Overall a nice place , with great view. It is def worth the visit.

Both of us had their “Surf & Turf” – which was a steak paired with shrimp (popcorn, blackened, or grilled). At $45, it was the most expensive item on the menu – $10 more than the 2nd most. It should have been called “surf and tuff” – because there were 4 medium shrimp with a large but fatty and tough steak. Service was good and friendly, and the view of the ocean and pier was spectacular. There is a limited amount of parking available; knowing this, we walked there.

Very good! I ordered the clam chowder and grilled shrimp, my husband a burger. The clam chowder was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the shrimp were cooked just right!! The mixed drink I got was the tourist trap. When the drink comes out, they light it on fire…very tasty! I would definitely recommend this place!!

We ate here on a Saturday morning. They were down a cook, but it was worth the wait. You can see the ocean from the restaurant. They have 2 TVs by the bar area. Food portions are large. The omelette was huge! They had country fried steak which was delicious. Coffee is a little bit better than the average breakfast place drip coffee. $12 for a flight of 3 mimosas.

We were looking for a late breakfast, and their menu and website said they served breakfast until 11:30 AM. We showed up at 11:00 AM and they said we could not order breakfast, as it was too late.

This place is nice and the staff friendly, but we had to wait 45 minutes to receive what ordered. The salad was fine but not in balance (too much chicken, all mixed together) and roughly presented.

The view is fantastic but the kitchen is definitely on ahola time. The place wasn’t packed but it still took a good long while.
