So I'm a hotel employee and decided to try bibas with my family for lunch one day! My server was Elsa and she was wonderful! We had the chicken Caesar salad w/ chicken creole soup, the turkey panini ( sub fries for potato chips). The chicken Caesar salad was served without Parmesan cheese which we thought was a little strange. The turkey panini was excellent however the sandwich w/fries and the soup and salad cost $28.00! I was a little surprised but quality was good and service was excellent! read more

First time being in Hawaii, and the first restaurant I tried. I must say this was an awesome experience. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. The burger had a very good grilled taste, it was under seasoned for my liking but added some ranch and onions and it raised the bar for the burger. I would definitely try this restaurant again. Everyone with my party was pleased with their meal. If you enjoy shrimp Alfredo, I was told that it was simply delicious with lots of shrimp in it. read more

Fish and chips tasted good while I was eating it, but 10 minutes later I felt nauseous. The food was heavy and oily that seemed to settle in my stomach for hours. So, I drank water and ate pineapple to help with the digestion process. I did not like their food. My husband ordered a caesar salad with grilled chicken that cost over $12.00. And there was a little portion of lettuce/greens. Highly disappointed. read more

Bibas is a great place to get a good meal at an affordable price. Great service by the staff. Large portions. I ordered take out from them and everything was correct and freshly made. My family and I also ordered mai tais and a delicious local beer. I appreciate that the Mai Tai wasn't watered down and I really enjoyed it. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Worst food ever. Service is horrible. My husband is retired military and we have not been here for a while but the food literally is horrible. Waiters are not accommodating at all and not friendly. I will NEVER eat here again. I am sad because it used to be so good. read more

Server Rowena is very nice and friendly!!!! She is very helpful with our needs. Thank you

Bibas Burger was awesome. Brioche bun engraved with Bibas. The Cheese was melted perfectly. Left me mouthwatering. I enjoyed every single second of eating the burger. The lettuce crunch was just too good. read more

Not impressed. Our service was rushed and the server didn't seem like he was interested in our meal or his tip. The chicken was super dry. The salmon was quite tasty and the LocoMoco was decent. Ordered medium and pretty sure my son got well done. The curly fries were definitely frozen. The flatbread was so tasty though. I won't return. read more

There are really two parts to Bibas. One section of it is the restaurant portion which is open at meal time. This one we would have given a 4 star by itself. The servers were fast, friendly and very helpful. We also received a couple items especially prepared for us. However, we were quite so impressed with the bar section during Happy Hour. We sat at a table on the patio waiting and waiting and waiting to see the server. It wasn't packed and were pretty annoyed by the time he showed. Then, when we were told they were out of the items on the Happy Hour menu we wanted to order, we opted not to order and went elsewhere. The place is beautiful but we weren't impressed so went on to Happy's and the Beachfront Bar. read more

Filet mignon was cooked perfectly along with delicious salmon! Our waiter Kyle was the best! Appetizer was the best crab cake I've ever had. A must for a wonderful dining experience. read more

**.5 Stars I can't give them 3 stars, but they're not 2 stars. Wish Yelp allowed us to give half stars. At any rate my family was in town for my 35 year military retirement ceremony and we decided to stay at the Hale Koa Hotel for a few nights and we decided to try this restaurant. The restaurant was super empty. I think there were three tables other than us, but due to COVID-19 I guess that's the new norm in Waikiki. This restaurant is situated by the large Banyan tree near the courtyard of the hotel. Very nice atmosphere but the food for dinner was a little pricey especially for a military hotel. I ordered the salmon Caesar salad, but was told they were out of that, so I had the fish and chips $19, my son had the paniolo burger $16, my daughter had the Caesar salad with no protein $15, my niece had the filet mignon and shrimp $38?? and my other niece had pasta with tomato sauce $16. Don't quote me on the prices, but that's what I recollect without a copy of my receipt. The food was meh and in my humble opinion not a good value for the cost. I hate to say that during these times, but I'm being honest. We also had some margaritas and those were pretty decent. The service was awesome. During my next stay at Hale Koa I will take a walk or drive to another restaurant for dinner to get better value for my family. read more

Man, why are y'all hating on Bibas?? I stayed at the Hale Koa for 3 weeks and Bibas was a life saver for me. Fitting in lunch/dinner with friends with a baby's nap and sleep schedule is hard enough, but almost impossible on vacation. Enter Bibas. It's in the resort, so a huge plus location-wise (have you ever driven an over tired baby home from a restaurant?? It's the literal worst) and the food is surprisingly affordable, especially considering it's a hotel restaurant. The food is delicious, especially compared to the rest of Waikiki - I'm not hating, just saying to those hating on Bibas food, where are y'all eating around here that's so good?? If they ever have the truffle cream of mushroom as the soup of the day, definitely get that. The fresh catches are almost always a winner, and I've eaten so many surfer boy tacos that I'm pretty sure I'm a pro surfer now. Drinks are delicious and strong. One star off because service is really meh. And they don't have a complimentary bread service. read more

Service is friendly and great! Food is below average and something I wouldn't recommend unless out of utter convenience of staying at the Hale Koa Hotel. read more

So we stumbled here after being turned away at the buffet because we were neither hotel guests nor military. The gentlemen host was nice enough to "sponsor" us and allow us the privilege of dining here . To be frank, I was initially quite thrilled, the prices seemed reasonable for Waikiki, and they seem so exclusive the food must be good right? Nope. How do you mess up a loco mock? The beef was chewy and like rubber. The pizza - I've had better frozen pizza. The lava flow was severely lacking in alcohol. I will say the service was friendly. But I won't be coming back. read more

First it's a military affiliated compound on the beach. Credentials needed. The compound is beautiful. Pride in the facility shows. The food was superb. Great service and the food was terrific. We spent $50 bucks on 2 meals. The rib eye steak was tender and perfectly cooked. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, the meatballs were awesome and the sauce was good. We will stay at this hotel next time. read more

The food was really good. I got the Bibas burger medium (It was definitely not medium since it was very large, still very good just a really big burger). The service was nice, not too loud, I would eat here again. read more

We stayed here & tried out this dinning at the hotel which is located in the middle section of the hotel nearby the big banyan tree. We walked in & they were full book so we were told to get back later with the reservation this time. The place was busy & I guess for that reason we got bad service. It was so hard to ask for the waitress just for water. Our table was abandoned big time & until I ordered my food the waitress forgot my order & just the steak & king crab legs for my parents were served. Even that the crab legs were not fresh & the steak was dry & chewy. My parents were so hungry & still eat the food but not happy. It was so hard for us to get the waitress & asking for the service again. Never for this one read more

After reading many reviews, we knew what to order and not to order. We had the catch of the day which was sword fish and the linguini. Both were very good. We also ordered a side salad to share which was small but tasty. The server was friendly. We came at 5 and it was busy but had a reservation. The non reservation line was long. I don't recommend the sliders or spring rolls from the happy hour menu. They were like a child's portion. We would return for dinner again, but I don't see anything happy about happy hour. read more

We tried this place out because it was in our hotel and we didn't feel like going far. Completely regret that decision. Food was low quality and way overpriced. Service was mediocre but the restaurant itself was nice and clean. There are way too many better options nearby to waste the time and money at this place. read more

Food and drinks were good, once we got them, and reasonably priced for Waikiki... we went in for dinner for two... ordered everything the first chance we got, about 5 -10 minutes after being seated... then 30 minutes for our drink order to arrive and 30 minutes later for our food order to arrive... one chance and done, won't be back. read more

Restaurant and bar was in our hotel which was very convenient. Service was great and food delicious. Also was able to see the football game - a big plus. Great to gather with a group or just enjoy quiet time. read more

Food was decent, convenient at the hotel. Indoor seating was not worth it. Food was a 45 min wait and service was average at best, especially for the price. You're better off hitting up the snack shack at the hotel or getting takeout and bringing it over to the barefoot bar. read more

Good food at reasonable prices. Seafood dishes are particularly good. Very family friendly.

If you're looking for a great breakfast and are willing to wait a few minutes, you have to try this place. The food was great and the service was excellent. When we visit we will have breakfast here. read more

This was hands down the worst steak I've ever had. I ordered the filet mignon and shrimp combo with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I order steak mostly every restaurant I go to and I've never had anything as bad as this. It had no flavor or seasoning and seemed like an old piece of meat. The shrimp was good luckily. I enjoyed the sides but neither had any seasoning on them. It is suggested you make a reservation before coming. read more

Bibas Courtyard Grill - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A nice dinner that looks upscale without the upscale price! Bibas is located within the Hale Koa but anyone can stop to eat regardless of military affiliation or whether or not paying to stay at the hotel. The service was quick and painless, our waiter was incredibly nice. We decided on the guava chicken and fish and chips. The guava chicken was SO good! The chicken came on the bone and had an amazing sweet BBQ taste that was slightly crispy. Perfect BBQ. The fish and chips were also great because it was actually a decent portion size for the price. We will be coming back in the future! read more

Got the Waygu burger...terrible! Pretty sure it was a frozen patty. Asked for it medium rare and was served a well done dry burger. $22! McDonald's 1/4 pound burger would have been better! read more

Great food, but you need to make sure you have a reservation and a military ID. Food prices are just a little under what you pay on the strip, but you get some good choices other than noodles or sushi. read more

Just bad, wrong order, overcooked steak. Shouldve asked for a refund but I rather let everyone know how bad this place is

A nice place at the Hale Koa. Once again, our meals were delicious. I had the macnut encrusted chicken with creamy delicate lime sauce with steam vegetables. Hubby had the snapper fish and ships which was also delicious. Will come again! read more

Terrible service and lack of communication. Stood in line for an hour just to be told that it is for military only and we're turned away. I did not see anything posted anywhere or listed on YELP. It was extremely frustrating and embarrassing to have to walk away. No apology or anything. Very frustrating when you walk two miles in the heat with a diabetic to be turned away. At least have it posted somewhere clearly that you don't serve everyone. read more

Solid 4.5 restaurant at the Hale Koa. Went for lunch & dinner. Best restaurant on the property. Fish is always fresh. You can go big or go light for lunch. Nice local drinks & ingredients. Good, friendly service. We'll be back. read more

This is a pretty positive three stars. For my dinner there, I had the seafood combo with a half portion of the fish of the day and a skewer of shrimp. It was good. The fish was especially well prepared. It was served with potatoes and simple but tasty mixed veggies for a balanced and filling meal. The others in my party were also satisfied with their meals. The service was a bit hurried, but it was polite and got the job done, and we were eating close to closing time. The menu is broad but not too broad and includes several choices that fit the Hawaiian vacation theme. The environment inside is plain but reasonably polished, and there's seating outside looking into the beautiful center garden area of the Hale Koa. Prices are similar to other comparable places, and a bit less than the other hotel restaurants... Not what I'd consider cheap, but certainly reasonable. There are a number of good restaurants with similar food offerings in the area and I'm not sure what, other than convenience for Hale Koa guests, would set this one apart, but it's pretty good and is a great option when convenience from the hotel matters. read more

While the food was decent, some dishes were over salted which made eating unpleasant. Usually I don't write negative reviews, but I felt compelled to make one due to the lack of customer service. What bothered me during my dining experience was the disregard and lack of attention to my table. Waiters and waitresses were literally AVOIDING eye contact. One occasion, I had a server walk right past me and look down at the floor rather than help my table CHECK OUT at the end of our meal. The restaurant itself was not busy, there were many unclean tables, and servers were purely bringing food to my table and then leaving immediately. I would not recommend people to come to this restaurant if they are looking for a good meal with attentive service. read more

The non-buffet restaurant at the Hale Koa Hotel. The menu is eclectic and very reasonably priced for a hotel in Waikiki. But the Hale Koa reset complex is no normal resort. It is one of 4 armed forces resorts. Seating outside is around the courtyard which is dominated aged by a large banyan tree. The food was ok but the service exceptional read more

The Hale Koa is an extremely important hotel for the military. Military members like myself and my husband worked very hard and donated money so that this hotel exists. I rarely give negative reviews, however I had an experience here at the hotel that kind of shocks me customer service wise. I was extremely upset because my husband is a disabled war veteran with the Purple Heart who sacrificed himself physically and years away from his Family and if anyone deserves fabulous service here. This hotel is here exactly for people like us in my humble opinion. Thank you for redeeming our visit! We had just had one of those days if you know what I mean. We had issues in the parking garage. We had issues finding the food we needed. I had horrible issues with the beach bar trying to get my husband a Guinness for the cool Guinness glasses they were giving out. We love the kitty pool however on a beautiful Hawaii Saturday it was Packed & finding shade for our four month old baby was a challenge. However the really nice military families made sure we were able to share with them so the baby wouldn't have to be in the sun. We were here scoping the place out for future staycations for ourselves and vacations for visiting military family members. The restaurant has a affordable happy hour with only drinks from 3 to 430. They don't allow food on the lanai because they have had an ant and bird problem in the past. I wish that was not the case. However, we went ahead and came into the restaurant for an early dinner after a long and stressful day and were pleasantly surprised at our warm reception, good service, and most importantly delicious food. I ordered the Poke tostada and vegetable appetizer. My son got the keikei fish. And my husband ordered the chicken entrée that came with local organic mushrooms. We Love the local Hawaiian mushrooms. My favorite dish was the ahi tostada. It was fresh and spicy with wasabi. Also, my sons fish was surprisingly delicious with perfectly cooked breading, and I don't usually like breading of any sort. I ordered A fun wine trio sampler and my husband had a local craft beer. Overall, our meal was only $70 and included dessert which we found to be very reasonable for Hawaii standards. We will be back! read more

Ugh. We ate dinner here one evening and it was just not good. Our server was non existent and brought us condiments and refilled our waters after we were already done with our meal. We ordered calamari and asked for it to come out as an appetizer. It came with our main food. Boo. The calamari was weird. Let's start with the positive: Very generous thick cut steak calamari. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The coconut milk with the panko crumbs wasn't a great mix for me. The meat lovers flatbread was akin to a frozen pizza you would get at the grocery store. Tasteless and blah. I'm so sad I wasted one of my few meals on vacation in Hawaii on this restaurant. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Located at the Hale Koa Hotel on Waikiki, Bibas is operated by the Department of Defense as an Armed Forces Recreation Center. That means that restaurant, like the rest of the resort, is only open to those who hold a United States Uniformed Services Privilege and Identification Card issued by the United States Department of Defense to current and former members of the US armed forces and their dependents. I recently dined as a guest of a member of the Naval Reserve. I was underwhelmed with the quality of the food, which resembled cafeteria quality, and the service, which was ambivalent. I ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna salad, which tasted neither fresh nor particularly flavorful and was presented on a bed of mixed greens with four cucumber slices and two cherry tomatoes. Bibas is convenient for those staying at the Hale Koa, but there are better options in Waikiki not that far away. read more
