    Ahhhhhhhh
    Paul R.

    Thanks to Yelp, we stopped by the Haleiwa Beach House during our North Shore road trip. This is an open-air restaurant with views of the bay. There is an upstairs seating area that must provide some exceptional views, but it was closed during our visit. Our lunch was easily 5-star. We began with the Spicy Ahi Wontons. Fresh ahi with shallots, scallions, tobiko (Japanese caviar), and cabbage. This App was extremely complex with a hint of spice. Truly wonderful! For our mains we ordered the grilled mahi mahi and fish and chips. My mahi mahi was grilled to a moist perfection, and the brown butter sauce could have overwhelmed the fish, so I went light on the sauce. Their fish n' chips are not your traditional Irish bar offering. The fish was gently battered with panko and fried just right. Their homemade tarter sauce was absolutely delicious. They have a very interesting craft cocktail menu. My Ku'Ula-Kai Mai Tai was on point and perfectly balanced - sweet and sour. Plus 1's Aloalo Fizz reminded her of a Paloma, only made with vodka with a tropical twist. Service was attentive and knowledgeable regarding the menu and ingredients. We really appreciated the chill environment, beautiful view, and the welcoming ocean breeze. Pro tip: After dinner, head downtown to walk off your lunch/dinner and check out all the shops. Dessert? If you enjoy waiting in a long line, then the famous shaved ice shop is located there (IYKYK).

    Stunning views, and delicious food... This place is not only beautiful it is the perfect place for a meal with friends or ohana. The service here was excellent (thank you to Cash for being an outstanding server.) We were greeted immediately, seated immediately, and had drinks in front of us within 5 minutes. Highly recommend as a place to chil, eat and enjoy your day.

    I visited Haleiwa Beach House during my recent trip to Hawaii. My family and I were at the beach all day in the area and were looking for a restaurant that could accommodate our large party (6 adults & 4 kids). We arrived right when the restaurant was opening and were lucky enough to be seated immediately. The parking lot is relatively small, but we lucked out by being there right at opening. I loved the seating area, it is completely open and we were able to enjoy the light breeze and beautiful weather. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi which comes with garlic ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce (which I requested on the side) and white rice. I am glad I decided to put the sauce on the side because the sauce was really rich and I enjoyed it more as a light dipping sauce versus drenching the plate with it. The Mahi Mahi was delicious and cooked perfectly. The kids menu here is amazing, the kids all loved their choices. I tried some of the Chicken Tenders and it was one of the best I have ever had! The staff here are wonderful! They were so attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. I would highly recommend Haleiwa Beach House to anyone craving fresh and delicious food... there is a variety of choices on the menu, everyone in our party was able to pick what they wanted and we all left full and happy :)

    Haleiwa Beach House has the bones of a great North Shore meal. Good drinks, strong appetizers, a beautiful room and a few dishes that really landed. The cocktails were the highlight. The corn was excellent and the ribeye was cooked really well. But the experience had some friction. The host stand felt unnecessarily rigid and disorganized. They would not seat us until the full party was physically standing there, even though the table was ready and the rest of our group was coming from parking. It left everyone awkwardly crowded up front with another party. Service was also slow. Drinks, napkins and basic follow up took too long. We ordered ribeyes and the knives didn't arrive until the steaks had already started cooling, which is a small thing that becomes a big thing when the kitchen actually did its part. The space is nice, but it gets hot and once it got darker the mosquitoes became a real problem. Bring repellent if you are going around sunset. Food wise, it was mixed but mostly good. The drinks were solid, the appetizers were strong and the ribeye was the best thing we ordered. The lobster salad was the weak point, more like boxed mixed greens with overcooked lobster than something worth ordering again. The kids' pizza felt frozen and heavy, but the kids were happy enough. I'd probably come back, but I'd come prepared. Mosquito repellent, patience with the front desk and realistic expectations on service.

    We found this restaurant by chance this evening and decided to give it a try with our family. When we arrived, we were told that the restaurant was closing in about 10 minutes, but the staff kindly welcomed us in and gave us the opportunity to order quickly. Although some items on the menu were no longer available, they offered us great alternatives, and we ended up having a wonderful dinner. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the view was absolutely beautiful. We truly enjoyed our evening here and appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff. It was a lovely experience, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    We were greeted with such kindness by the hostess and served by 'Ekolu. He tended to us often and always with a smile. His positive energy was refreshing and pleasant. He laughed with us as we joked in conversation and he instantly felt like a friend of ours. When we left our table to take pictures of the sunset, he immediately placed a fan near our food to keep any flying bugs away. He was the best!!! The food and drinks were delicious!! The sunset view was priceless!

    On our way to the North Shore, my family and I stopped by around 1 or 2 p.m. because the place looked packed from the outside, and we were cruising around looking for a good meal. We stopped in and were given a table with a positively awesome view of the shore. Our server was very nice, but she regularly forgot to bring us napkins and straws when asked. Otherwise, she was great. Our food came out quite quickly after ordering considering how busy the restaurant was! I ordered the Garlic Shrimp, which was really good. Despite how appetizing it looked, it was not very heavy in flavor-- which is a bit disappointing. The Garlic Shrimp was well cooked and the creamy garlic sauce was nice and palatable, but I wanted more of that signature deep garlic flavor that you crave in garlic shrimp. The grilled lemon was an amazing touch, and that salad with yuzu dressing was absolutely my favorite part. The Yuzu dressing was absolutely to-die for, and I'm certain the salad that came with the plate was even better than the shrimp, which should've been just a bit more flavorful in order to give the dish more impact. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with my experience here, and my family seemed pleased with their own dishes. The restaurant accommodated changes to the meal, which is good if you have family members with other dietary needs. Overall, a solid stop while you're exploring the North Shore!

    This was the best restaurant we ate at during our three week visit to Hawaii. We had a party of seven. The server was very friendly and attentive. All the meals were delicious. I had blackened Mahi-mahi. The outer laver was very flavorful while the center was moist without being over cooked. All the other meals in our group were delicious. The restaurant is beautiful. You can see the harbor and mountains from the restaurant, but the first row of seats hear a little road noise. The prices are high but the quality of food and service are also high. I would definitely go back on my next trip to the North Shore.

    Some of the best calamari I've had. Light and crispy. The shrimp po'boy sandwich was great too!

    We came here unexpectedly after a long day at the beach on the north shore. We came closer to close but the service and staff was extremely kind and welcoming. I had the fries to start and they were crispy and hot when they came out. I had the braised short rib and subbed potatoes for the sweet corn and it was fantastic. I really enjoyed my meal here. Boyfriend had the NY steak and his was also well cooked.

    After visiting Waimea Falls, we were ready for dinner and found this place on Yelp. We started with the calamari appetizer, which was delicious and came with two sauces: yuzu mayonnaise and Thai chili. Both were excellent and complemented the dish well. We definitely enjoyed the calamari a lot. For the main course, I had the Lobster and Shrimp Red Curry. The flavor was great, but it was quite salty for my taste - I had to eat it with rice with every bite to balance it out. My husband ordered the Thai Fried Chicken, which was perfectly cooked and boneless. I was surprised since I expected it to have bones. It was very tasty. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was lovely - right across from the beach, where we were able to enjoy the sunset.

    I had an amazing experience this morning at the Haleiwa beach house! The staff was kind & ready to serve my husband & I from the moment we walked into the establishment! We were seated with water views! It was nice & cool this morning. Our server was Ollie, who was the absolute best !!! (I may have spelt his name wrong, sorry in advance) The calamari was very tender & had delicious breading. It was served with 2 types of sauces, zuzu aioli & spicy nuoc Cham. My hubbs preferred the nuoc Cham & I preferred the aioli! I had the clam chowder & hubbs had the po boy. They were all a 10/10!! I highly recommend!

It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up.

I get that restaurants can be relatively busy, being that I've worked in a kitchen myself, I understand the stress of making sure every customer gets the experience they want and the attention we deserve. I feel like our waitress did not extend that opportunity to us. She would cut me off and answer my question before I even got the opportunity to get it out. And there were various other times she'd immediately walk off after delivering food or drinks not giving us the opportunity to ask any questions or request anything else we may have wanted. However, the location is beautiful and the food really is tasty so don't let my experience deter you from trying it. It's surrounded by nearby shops, all carrying really cool and nice items.

    BACKGROUND ON JENNY'S SHRIMP:…read more Jenny's Shrimp Truck began as a small, family-run business with a simple mission: to serve the freshest, most flavorful shrimp on the North Shore. Jenny, the founder, was inspired by the rich seafood culture of Hawaii and wanted to share her love for local flavors with the community. Armed with a secret garlic butter recipe passed down through generations, she set out to create something truly special. In the early days, Jenny's food truck was nothing more than a converted van with a makeshift kitchen, parked along the scenic roads of Haleiwa. She focused on using locally sourced shrimp, ensuring that every plate was as fresh as possible. Word quickly spread about the delicious shrimp dishes, and soon, both locals and tourists were lining up to get a taste. JENNY'S SHRIMP TRUCK MISSION STATEMENT: A Taste of Hawaiian Paradise Nestled in the heart of Haleiwa, Hawaii, Jenny's Shrimp Truck is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers looking for a true taste. BACKGROUND ON VISIT: This was part of our Dole Plantation/Haleiwa tour that we signed up for. Lunch wasn't provided so this was on our own dime. CREDIT CARDS: They're accepted, but they tack on a transaction fee. RESTROOM: There's a restroom next door. AMBIANCE/DECOR: Not much ambiance, but they do have tables and chairs setup in their covered patio. SERVICE: Service was alright. Didn't take long for our food to come out. FOOD OF CHOICE: Garlic shrimp plate which came with rice and a slice of pineapple. Enjoyed the shrimp. It was quite tasty and easy to peel. I had a nice time eating the rice with their signature garlic sauce. SHRIMP TRUCK FOR THOUGHT: I would love to come back to have it again.
