22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kaaawa

“Hands down the best shave ice I've tried on Oahu! The ice is so finely shaved and they have a big selection of flavors. They even had my favorite, cotton candy, which I wasn't able to find anywhere else on the island. The owners were sooo sweet and friendly too! Next time I'm on Oahu, I'll be back!“

“Stopped in for a bite after snorkeling yesterday. The service was great, the place was really clean and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. We got the Katsu Mac n cheese balls and the Kaluha pork quesadilla. Both were cooked perfectly, not greasy and nice size portions. A great little find!“

“Kahuku Farms is a great place to make a stop for lunch if you’re driving along the North Shore of Ohau. They have a farm-to-table café right by the entrance offering many fresh vegetarian options, and plenty of covered outdoor seating for you to enjoy some fresh air looking out onto the farm while you eat. The food here was very fresh and flavorful.Right beside the food Kiosk is a little gift shop selling locally made bath and body, products, chocolate, and pantry items.The farm is open Thursdays to Mondays from 11 am to 4 pm (closed Tuesday and Wednesday), and they offer paid tours of the farm every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.There’s free parking right when you drive in, along with a washroom, and handwashing station.“

“While going around the island, my fiance and I decided to pay a visit to Da Bald Guy after seeing this being featured on a Netflix Series "Street Food: USA". This famous father/son food truck is located off Kamehameha Hwy nestled right next to other food trucks and is open from 6-2 PM Monday thru Saturday til they're sold out-- so come early! WHAT WE ORDERED: Call my fiance and I super Filipino, but we both share a meal during trips or vacations so that we can try different flavors and varieties of food so we're not just stuck eating one particular dish! For lunch, we decided to share the Furikake Crusted Salmon alongside with our order of Garlic Shrimp from Romy's. Furikake Salmon is a solid meal that always hits especially on lazy days in which you don't really want to cook. After waiting 15 minutes or so food and finding seating, our meal finally arrived. And honestly, we've never had Salmon Furikake like theirs before! The flavors, nice crust, and freshness of the Salmon had us mind blown. This meal also came with rice and mac salad. I'm not huge on mac salad, but their mac salad was also delicious! The one thing we regret is not coming earlier to order the combo plate, but we'll definitely be back to try more! We're glad to say Da Bald Guy is not just instagram worthy but definitely the drive and wait was worth it! 10/10 recommend! THINGS TO KNOW: - CARD/CASH ACCEPTED - OPEN 6-2PM UNTIL SOLD OUT - LIMITED PARKING/SEATING“

“The food here is da bomb! My daughter suggested the tsunami nachos and we loved it! Second plate is poke bowl with laos style poke this is my favorite. Thank you Ryan and Khannie for your awesome food and the love and aloha that you share with the customers. Such a wonderful feeling when eating at Rys Poke Shack will definitely be back again“

“shave ice was so yummy. got the mango one and was literally dripping and filled to the brim with juicy mango pieces and syrup. shave ice was a great soft texture as well. a little pricey but ur really getting a lot of food. quick service. cute little food stand.“

“The owner is super cool, extremely nice, and helpful. I ordered the Feijoada (black bean stew with beef short rib and smoked sausage in it, rice and 1 other side I can't remember) but its only served on Fri and Sat, I think. It was excellent!!! I don't have any other Brazilian food (other than a Brazilian steak house) to compare it to, but it was very filling and tasty. Would definitely go back if I lived on O'ahu. The other great thing, if you stay on the Waikiki side of the island, is the drive back. I thought the eastern side of the island was a lot nicer (less suburbanish) than the west side. A lot of cool beaches on the Northside, very pretty (get ready for traffic though, in our case. We've driven a total of 90 miles this trip and it's taken us a total of about 4 1/2 hours). All worth it, though, for a day with the family exploring Hawaii and seeing some beautiful scenery!!!“

“It was a cold day on the beach but warm more inland and found this spot while looking for a bite to eat and had to stop after seeing the cane juice sign. It was super refreshing and served with the island hospitality which is my favorite thing about HI...oh and the sunsets.“

“Very chill spot. Great hole-in-the-wall place with excellent healthy breakfast options. A little pricier, but we'll worth it. Service was very nice, food was great, spot was quiet and cozy.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, as well as several options that could be made vegetarian.“

“The absolute best cookie skillet I’ve ever had! We got a big one and shared it amongst our family of 4 and it was more than enough!! Get the Carmel syrup on to, you won’t be disappointed!! Their other cookies are very good too! You can’t go wrong here!“

“In planning to relive a memorable dining experience and coming from Waikiki, I did not want to come up to Hauula just to get a plate of food. I did a Yelp search and this was one of two businesses that had a 4+ star rating so I bookmarked it as another stop. Using Google maps on my phone, we reached here a little after 11 am on a Monday morning. A gentleman was seated at one of the tables under the tent who we later learned is part of the business. As we walked up to the truck, we read the menu posted on the truck ( After reading it, I asked the lady who manned the truck for her recommendation and she answered without hesitation. A few minutes later, we both were under the tent and eating our spicy garlic lemon shrimp plate ( At first glance, I was surprised by the size of the shrimp which I would almost categorize as prawns. Need proof of how much I like it... burp ( The sauce was delicious and not overly spicy. My experience with shrimp truck plates is limited as I've only dined at that famous Haleiwa one across from the McD's as you enter town. I liked this more and the accompaniments were certainly more interesting... I enjoy canned corn and don't start me about pineapples. The sweetness of both contrasted well with the tangy, spicy, garlicky sauce on the shrimp and my rice. Before leaving, I was curious and asked the lady's nationality and name. Big thanks to Ms. Zhao or Zhou (sp) for steering us to an enjoyable lunch (she's from a Northeastern province in China). I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again next time I'm in the area. *** Nice to find it is Judy C. approved too ( as I just read her review as well as Nadine's (“

“Here you meet the most lovely people in Oahu. The servers are sweet and kind. We are sipping shaved ice mano passion fruit and drinking coconut milk from the coconut, and listening to music and Israel's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and a Wonderful World. I became immediately sentimental with this beautiful rendition of such a lovely song, bringing a gentle tear to my eye, as I remember thankfully, the beautiful moments, bountiful and joyful days of my life. The food truck, up the street from the hotel a few miles, Da Bald Guy had fabulous thick and spicy, super tasty salmon.We loved our food truck experience! Thank youKid-friendliness: Plenty of room for kids and the whole family at picnic tables.“

“Another little gem in Upper Pearl City. The lady serving the shave ice is very nice and friendly. We where the last ones to order and she was so nice, she gave us lots of samples to try from previous order that by the time our order came in, we were full from samples! The amount of shave ice is a lot ( we order a small each), should have ordered just one as it was a lot for my husband and I. The little place is cute with lots of sweet and happy decorations. Make sure to have cash at hand, because this place does not take credit/debit cards.“

“We found this place while looking for acai bowls in the area. We each got an acai bowl to ourselves and it was delicious! Both bowls were made with great care from the owners and the fruits tasted so fresh and sweet. Please check them out if you are in the area!“

“Very popular stop along east scenic drive, worth a stop. Ordered Luau pig, their chicken long rice resembles Asian chicken rice noodle, super flavorful. On top of that, their sweet lady comes with a blend of ice-cream and coconut milk based dessert but not super sweet in western standards of dessert. Highly recommended chicken long rice if you are rice noodle fan and their sweet lady on a humid Hawaiian summer.“

“The place to go for a local craft beer on the far North Shore. Sourcing a range of brews from all of the islands, both on tap and in cans & bottles. They also have a small wine and liquor selection, supporting local options. Neat island art and souvenirs, plus pleasant service. Mahalo!“

“Super friendly and they have good pork and chicken. Found on Google while driving and as I walked through the maze of food carts looking for them, a man cooking at a grill called out asking how I was and if I wanted a sample of what he was making. Starting talking and realized this was the spot I was looking for. More of a tent and table setup, not in a truck/cart. Good eats, recommend supporting them.“

“New favorite restaurant. Seriously. This experience could not have been better. Right away the shrimp shack staff were kind, welcoming and friendly, it'd be hard not to be happy in such a beautiful location, right across from the beach with the breeze coming off the water. This spot has a fantastic menu, the three of us went with two plates to share but we could've downed four plates easy. Their coconut shrimp is one of the best bites of my life, served with a mango honey sauce that it SO GOOD and they're being SO CHILL about selling it, they could put up a sign or something to let people driving by know they have maybe the best sauce I've ever had. Their garlic shrimp was great as well, the Mahi Mahi with grilled onions was the other star of the day, I suggest loading up on coconut shrimp and the mango sauce, as much of the mango sauce as you can get away with, and Mahi Mahi and enjoying it all as we did at their tables by the sea. A beautiful experience. This place is a must stop.“

“Got the regular burrito with chicken - excellent! The girl at the counter recommended the burrito and she was right. If you're in the mood for Mexican, this is the place. The roasted tomatillo sauce is fantastically smokey & goes great with the burrito. Very filling also. Definitely going to try the super burrito next time.“

“the food goes without question, it's so good. the burgers are big juicy and craveable. given the choice between laie and kahuku i will always choose kahuku. recently they have been so fast about getting food out and when i asked about it was told it's under new management so it's gonna stay that way!“

“Ended up going to this place twice. Ordered four different items. The thing I enjoyed the most was the sandwiches. Did not matter which one but I enjoyed the two I did get.They also offered vegan doughnuts which we did not expect so of course we got a few of those. The wife enjoyed the quesadillas and taco type of salad she got.The food was very fresh and the ingredients were excellent. The place is located in a nice little stop off at an old sugar mill. There are bathrooms and other small shops to visit and a ton of food trucks to check out of all different flavors.Kid-friendliness: My kid ran around and chased chickens while there it was an open and pretty unthreatening location for a child to roam free for a bit while you eat.“

“What a fun little place to try different flavors of soda. They have so many tasty options. I tried a dr pepper with vanilla and strawberry flavors. We also ordered a frozen strawberry lemonade. I usually don't like soda and syrups because it tastes so artificial but the taste here was really good. Grab a drink before going into the PCC to sip on and you're set!“
