    We were craving a big sandwich ! And drift provided that. The sandwiches were delicious and HUGE. I wish they had a small appetite option as that is too much for one person.

    What a fabulous place. Cocktails are amazing. And u expected with the casual menu. Great sandwiches. Salad was perfect. Service was just enough attention. The place give s a casual vibe. It's around d back of the food truck looks abandoned- keep walking to the back of the building. Bug spray might be a good idea too. You're dining in a lush area with a lot of wet plants.

    Super-cute permanent food truck bar/restaurant in the back of the Warehouse 3540 "Mall" on Koloa Road in Kalaheo. They serve a short but sweet menu of toasted grinders and salads with a great selection of specialty cocktails. We both had cocktails and then shared a Greek salad. We split 2 different sandwiches, the Reuben and the Godfather. They come grilled open-faced with potato chips, and one is more than generous for a mid-day meal. Our table overlooked a lovely view of a quiet stream valley and was a delightful spot for a unique dining adventure.

    Had a great experience here! The drinks were absolutely delicious with beautiful presentation, and the food did not disappoint. The outdoor seating and ambience are perfect--such a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth it!

    Italian stallion sandwich w/ chips! Delish!

    We live up the road and never tried, one day we went there for a spur of the moment kind of thing and glad we did because the sandwiches were awesome and drinks were refreshing! Staff were so sweet and welcoming

    Wife and I stopped in for cocktails on the drive back from Waimea Canyon. We saw the good reviews, so decided to check it out. It's a cute little "micro-bar" hiding behind a warehouse building. We ordered the Bird of Paradise, the Berry Flats, and the Roasted Garlic Cheesy Bread. Drinks were delicious and well balanced. Love this place. What a gem.

    We always stop here for cocktail's after a day at the beach. Love the atmosphere, and the drinks are delicious! Such a cute spot and a fun vibe! Service is always great. Highly recommend.

    Phenomenal soft pretzel. Legit want to go back and get one right now!
    Shannan S.

    Staff were friendly and spoke as soon as we walked in. We could hear the stream beside the fence and the rain made it so much better! The pretzel was amazing -- and only this is only the second place I know of that we can get soft pretzels! Philly cheesesteak was so delicious. Ambiance was 10/10 - loved this place and will def go back. We are always looking for local places to support when eating out so def will be eating here again.

    Great Bartender!

    !!! Try The Rumbleweed !!! Maybe the best find of our week away from Kansas. The staff all worked together to earn our praise. The food, customized to our taste, was fabulous! The corner table we found allowed our family gathering to share, and to also interact with other guests and staff. A semi-open setting with a light breeze to chill and recover from a big day on the Friendly Island of Kauai! MAHALO

    I love me a day drink spot! Super cute bar with craft cocktails & yummy bites to cruise with your gf's and have girl talk. Hidden in the back of Lawai warehouse, this is the perfect spot to sip a drank in the middle of the day. They have a nice selection of fun fresh drinks and yummy bites to share. Def one of my favorite spots on the south side :) Happy hour is 4-5p for $2 off all drinks!

    The Canyon or the Rueben sandwich. I can't remember. And a local Golden ale.
    David D.

    Great locals' secret. Filling, savory, homemade sandwiches, salads, pupus and more. A small selection of ales on tap plus exotic drinks and standard wells. Calm, friendly outdoor atmosphere. A rotating live music schedule on selected nights makes it a great go-to.

My wife had the chicken and she can be finicky and loved her blackened chicken a lot as well. We will be back next time in Poipu. Service was good and speedy for n=being somewhat busy.

They're more on the casual side, and they're on the first floor, so no ocean view. But they have a great covered patio area that is fun and VERY protected. My sister in law and I each tried the macadamia crusted mahi mahi and we really loved it. We got the mashed potatoes with it which was definitely the right call. Unfortunately the broccoli was pretty bland. But my family loved their lilikoi foam-topped Mai Tais. I want to thank the staff because I called and left a message asking to be seated inside since we were worried about rain. Our party was too big for the inside seating (it's very limited), but they made sure to put us in a very protected area on the patio. Our waitress was welcoming and patient. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center which is always helpful. We would definitely come back!

    A very inconsistent meal here. Our table ordered the Brussel sprouts and the mussels as…read more appetizers. Brussel sprouts were very good. After we placed our order for the steamed mussels the server informed us that it would be a mixture of mussels and clams. When the dish came out, it was all clams, no mussels at all. They were very good and the curry sauce they were steamed in was yummy, but it just wasn't what we initially ordered. I ordered the fresh catch fish, which was very disappointing. The fish itself was very fresh tasting, but it was overcooked to the point of being dry. It was also bland and seemed to be unseasoned. It sat on a bed of purple sweet potato with a fresh succotash mixture on the side. The vegetables must have been plated long before the fish was ready because the potatoes and vegetables were no longer even warm, which was an unpleasant combo with the overcooked, bland fish. There was a sauce on the side, but not nearly enough considering the dry slab of tasteless fish sitting on top of cold potatoes. Others at the table ordered the lamb chops and steaks. The lamb chops were delicious and those at our table with steaks seemed very happy with them. Our server forgot to bring the drinks to 2 of the 6 people in our party. She did offer to remove the mussels from the bill due to the error in preparing this dish. Atmosphere was extremely loud, there was a singer in the bar area with the volume turned up high. That combined with the large bar area open to the restaurant made it so loud that it was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation in the dining area. It is a fairly pricey restaurant. For the price, I'd expect better service and a better prepared meal. There are far better choices elsewhere on the island.

Service is so prompt, friendly and attentive. He was great 10/10. Thanks, Greg! Everyone in my party loved their dinners. Short rib, miso cacio e pepe and crab crusted fresh catch. Must order the fried brussel sprouts and ahi panzanella (unique flavors but so cohesive and surprisingly delicious)..... ONOLICIOUS. Side of fried rice was sad. I don't recommend.
