Walked up to the window and ordered one of the pineapple smoothies that they heavily advertise. The 2 girls working the window looked at each other, rolled their eyes and were very visibly annoyed. I asked "....is that ok?" They proceeded to say yes but the pineapples were really hard and annoying to open. Smoothie was ready pretty immediately so it didn't seem like it was that arduous. As someone who works in the service industry, it was very rude and made me uncomfortable. Smoothie was OK. Nice location right on the beach which is lovely. read more

As many others have said, lovely views, okay food. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate and there were definitely some things they could improve: 1. Take a note from Giovanni's and provide an extra plate for the shrimp shells 2. Could barely taste garlic 3. Put the salad in a bowl so it doesn't become grossly saturated with shrimp sauce. Just not the best garlic shrimp, and sadly the slice of pineapple on the plate was the best part. I even ordered the pineapple cup for dessert but it was not as sweet. Which of course is just luck of the draw. But yeah I would eat here again if I was hanging out on queens again, just would never go out of my way to eat here. Oh and my friends got the fish and chips and the acai bowl and they both said it was pretty good but no one seemed excited about it lol read more

Amazing food, perfect beach location. They do get busy so just enjoy the view while you wait.

I had a wonderful experience at barefoot Beach Café in Waikiki. Food was excellent service was outstanding. They even took care of a little problem I had... Don't leave your food unattended. The birds will help themselves. Staff was gracious and gave me a new sandwich without charge read more

If you're wondering where everyone on Waikiki is getting the pineapple smoothies from... this is the place!! The Dole pineapple smoothie is so so good, and such a fun way to eat your pineapple! The Hawaiian brioche French toast was great! Add macadamia and you won't regret it. You don't even need syrup for this because the bread is so flavorful! With fresh fruit on top, I wouldn't change a thing! There's live music sometimes too, so you're in for a really relaxing vibe! read more

I was looking for the best of both worlds - food and sunset on the beach. Definitely found it here. The menu is quite diverse with a variety of breakfast items, handhelds, and plates, I opted for the burger with avocado , no bun, it was cooked well and tasted nice. I had a choice of fries, sweet potato fries or salad for my side. The salad was fresh. While I didn't have any, there are numerous desert options from ice cream and cheesecake to Dole whip. There was a long line but it moved quickly and I was sitting on the beach (right in front of this establishment) in time for sunset. read more

We walked down Kalakaua to check out the Barefoot Beach Cafe since we were planning to come here for dinner the next day since we heard it was right on the water and had beautiful views of Kūhiō and Waikiki Beach. Unfortunately, there is some construction happening right next to it so the solid fencing is blocking the beautiful views of Waikiki. The patio seating is very small too. We were very disappointed and decided to skip the cafe for dinner the next night. On the plus side, they did have live entertainment and the musician was very good. read more

I tried the fish and chips, french toast, açaí bowl, and loco moco and everything was beautifully presented and delish! Don't expect to be blown away by the food but the views and vibes are immaculate! Recommend 4.2/5 read more

Food is basic but good, and reasonable for Waikiki. Can't beat being on the beach with the breeze and the view

Line to order is insane, solid 40 mins. They need to sort out their issue there but food wise and location just perfect. No refill on fountain drink or coffee which is kinda pitiful moneygrab considering their prices. But once you eat the good food I guess it's all good. read more

Food was really great here overall and they have tasty shaved ice but please be aware of the PIGEONS! If you leave your food out they will come and get it quickly. They attacked my friends plate when she left it to go get her drink and they had so many birds fly over there and get the rest of it. The waiter had to come get the birds to go away. I loved the food though and the set up was super cute. Go here for breakfast or brunch! read more

I've only ever had breakfast here but it's a great first stop before taking a long walk for me. It's all outdoor seating overlooking the ocean and I think it's pretty clean especially with all the birds. Staff is nice and food is good/hot. read more

Good food, good vibes and many vegan options. It's a really fun spot to enjoy dinner after a day on the beach

Yeah this place was smacking! I had the Hawaiian Bbq Chicken Sandwich and I ate it in front of chickens that could've been chicken pidgins. We don't truly know yet. The view of Waikiki beach was very beautiful to go along with a great meal! Yeah ima have to go 5/5 Beauski stars on this one. Make sure to like and subscribe for more reviews! read more

A cute spot right on Waikiki Beach! The smoothies are very yummy! We went back the next morning for breakfast since they have a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. I ordered the vegan scramble. It was okay, just a bit bland in terms of flavor. I also ordered the garlic fries. Oh man - these were a garlic lovers dream! So delicious and would definitely order these again. The person taking out order behind the window was very outgoing and kind. read more

The food was really good. We tried the breakfast burrito, pancakes, French toast, and fries. All 10/10. The only thing was that the view is currently blocked due to construction. However, still good vibes and service from the staff. Glad it wasn't too crowded. read more

Barefoot beach cafe is a staple when spending a day in Waikiki. You can't get better views than this. Although there's som construction work happening next store, they keep the space clean and inviting. I've been to Barefoot Beach Cafe so many times and try to order something different every time. The tacos were small but had great flavor, I forget what the slaw mixture was on the inside but it tasted so fresh and the salsa added a nice spice. The burger was great and we really enjoyed the salted sweet potato fries. Service as usual was friendly and ordering was easy. I've noticed the fresh caught fish of the day has been swordfish almost every time I've visited, which does raise my alarm of "is it really todays fresh caught fish" or is this a pretty regular staple that they keep around? But never the less anytime I've had it, it is good. Maybe they have a good swordfish fishing spot. read more

I have to say that this place was impressive for the quality of the food. It's basically a shack by the beach and you sit outside and eat your food. We got the fish and chips and an order of garlic fries. The portions are enormous more than enough for two. The batter on the fish was a little thicker than I like but very crispy and delicious. Parking available on the street. Recommend. read more

The food was delicious! Service was not the fastest but I didn't have to wait too long. You order at the window then go pick it up yourself. It's a seat yourselves environment. The view and ambience is beautiful with a very relaxed feel. I had one of the daily caught specials. I did overhear the lady next to me, who ordered poke, state that it was very undercooked. The restaurant fixed it promptly for her. read more

Very disappointed with the green salad, old mushy lettuce wreaking of bacteria, I had to toss it. Waste of my money. I ordered the vegan burger, I had way better than this one here. Not at all like the description in the menu. The only good thing was the onions and tomatoes were fresh. Curried pattie was bland and mushy. I work in hospitality, and this is one of the restaurants I have on my list as a recommendation to our guests, definitely will make mention of this to our guest. The cashier was friendly. read more

I am back home visiting and was walking along the Waikiki shoreline walk. I ran across this place. First I thought it was a touristy type place but noticed locals having lunch too. Ordered a pineapple smoothie and poki bowl (local style seasoning and not all that creamy sauce type) . The poki bowl was good kine grindz. The smoothie came in a real pineapple which I stared at for a few seconds. It was a good quencher. Was kinda pricey but this is Waikiki. I'd go back again. Very relaxing and nice views of paradise read more

I've been here dozens and dozens of time. It's a great quick stop on the beach. But I have to warn everyone that veggie burger was weird. Bad. It is accompanied by gluten-free bun, which they do not mention on their online menu. Other vegetarian options are really good and I would highly recommend this place. Just stay away from the veg burger. Gross. read more

When I received my order, my french fries were cold. I went up to as said "I am so sorry but my fries are really cold - is it possible to get some warm ones?" The guy dispensing drinks who took my plate laughed at me, handed it to the girl plating food who also laughed, and when she tried to hand it to the cook, the cook wouldn't take it the first time and then finally did. (Still no words spoken back to me), I'm pretty sure they took my fries and put them back in the fryer because when they came back out, they were piping hot and slightly overcooked/burned. I'm really not sure how this place gets such good reviews other than the ambience is nice. - Unless the reviews are fake. My husbands overcooked shrimp meal had two long pieces of HAIR in it. Ehhhhh!!!!! Don't waste your money unless you earn a drink and to stay in the beach! Never a word spoken or even a smile back from staff. *edited posts reply* the issue wasn't really the cold fries. That's no big deal and it can easily happen if you're waiting on other plates to be done. It was the horrible customer service- they literally laughed at me- and the whole exchange happened without them, saying a single word back to me. A refund wouldn't have even been possible given they wouldn't talk to me. read more

Returned to try dinner around 6pm and was thrill to hear their nightly entertainment. They sounded great in front of the sun setting in the back drop. The food was great as usual and the gentleman helping was very nice and gracious. This has to be one of the best view of any restaurant and for the price it's a the best deal in Waikiki. Please remember to tip the nightly entertainment! They are there for your pleasure so don't be cheap!!!! read more

Came back because the food was good and at a good price, but once again the service was absolutely awful. There was a young lady taking orders. She snapped at the customer in front of us for asking for utensils. No smile, no greeting. I asked what she would recommend and she said "JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT" and rolled her eyes. I asked to see the manager and she said there was no manager on duty. I would NOT recommend coming here. The service is horrendous. They need to find better front of house ASAP. read more

The food was delicious & reasonably priced, but unfortunately the cashier had an attitude when I sent my burger back because it had some kind of sauce on it that was not listed on the menu. Of course, if it had been disclosed as having what looked like thousand island, I would have ordered it without, but it wasn't listed. The cashier double checked the menu (I guess to make sure I wasn't lying), then rolled her eyes, and reentered my order. Definitely could have had better customer service. read more

Loved that it is right at the beach, away from the main crowds, has good music from local artists in the evening, and the food is great with good value. Fish and chips are recommended as well as their fish of the day. We went several times and always enjoyed it. You can sit, eat and linger read more
