This is a great place to grab an outdoor breakfast at a resort, but not feel like you're in splash zone next to the pool. As of this moment, there is construction fencing around the grounds, so it was hard to find this place from the road if you're not staying at this hotel, but parking seemed plentiful. And then you have to walk towards the pool and past the snack shop to find it. The host stand is also outdoors away from the patio. Avocado Toast was yummy, but a little slippery: the sliced tomatoes that sat on top of the sliced avocados slid right off and onto the table, so a fork and knife is recommended. read more

Holoholo Grill - Menu - Hawaiian Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

We always have to stop at Holoholo for one breakfast. They have HUGE portions - each dish could be split amongst two people. My dad got the loco moco which he loves. I got the kalua pork hash which I think is a perfect way to get more kalua pork in your diet. And we split the banana macadamia nut pancakes - these things are thique, let me tell you! Everything was delicious. Service was welcoming and fast! We were in and out in about an hour. We sat in the shaded area with a view of the pool which was lovely. There is dedicated parking for people eating at Holoholo which is always appreciated. Thanks for yet another great breakfast! read more

(Dined 04/28/26 TU @ 3:00pm): I went for a "holoholo" to this nearby resort grill for an afternoon! For my final night on Kaua'i during this short vacation, I decided to take a casual 10-minute walk from the resort to Holoholo Grill to check out their "Aloha Hour" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=ZTrUECPZ2SGcn7dl5ur6gA for some less expensive grindz. Under the stewardship of one of Hawai'i's most celebrated culinary ambassadors and the "Godfather of Poke", Chef Sam Choy expanded his restaurant empire with Holoholo Grill at Koloa Landing Resort. With menus designed to celebrate local flavors, the spirit of Hawai'i, and his own signature creations, this four-time James Beard Best Pacific Regional Chef nominee has made this eatery a must-dine when on the island. Was it worth the holoholo to this grill!? PURCHASE(S) Spicy Mango-Rita ($16.00 HH): Crafted with El Jimador tequila, mango, cucumber, lime, and habanero simple syrup, I preferred more tequila than sweetness in this relaxing cocktail. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=E2Y79-PTRwIo2Pq7AZNbCw Crispy Calamari ($18.00 HH): A large portion of mostly uniform-shaped rings in a lovely crunchy crust with a side of homemade cocktail sauce, this could've been an entire meal and I would've been very happy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=q4X8ibaMCo1ECFajkI8v_w [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 5.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($8.00): A decent portion with rings of medium to large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a slight tendency to crumble when bitten into, while the onion ring (sweet Maui!) rarely pulled out at times. They were barely oily while no dipping sauce was needed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=9nvlDm9solIhMbBmp6NtlA Kaua'i Island Brewing Co. The Fonz IPAaaaaaa Beer 6.7% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00 HH): Bright amber hazy color, hoppy tropical aroma, low body, hoppy sweet tropical flavor, smooth finish, and hoppy sweet tropical aftertaste... aaah! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=puazSn8xt-53wD9faiXHMA Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc White Wine ($12.00 HH): Screw-off cap, pale color, citrusy zesty aroma, citrusy tropical flavor, light body, crisp dry finish, citrusy tropical zesty aftertaste, and high acidity - refreshing! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=pJPVDg31qAcFj-iYTFhnKw Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl ($26.00): Made with raw ahi tuna, white onion, limu, sesame oil, avocado, cucumber, edamame ocean salad, crispy onion, sweet soy drizzle, wasabi aioli drizzle, and furikake sushi rice, I seriously needed something healthier which this was, everything was fresh, it was a hearty entree, but the presentation was way too "clean" for me! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=4icP5R2eyusq4EMkkn6v-g SERVICE Greeted by two young gentlemen behind the bar, they directed me to the young hostess who sat me at a small table next to the bar. Given a few minutes to review the various menus, I proceeded to order item after item as the drinks arrived quickly while each food dish took no more than five minutes. Any empties were collected immediately as I was checked on and my water glass filled. The entire staff was great - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I had no vehicle, so I simply walked from my hotel. However, there was a nightly $40.00 fee for guests if they parked on the property I was staying at, and there might've been some free parking along the many nearby roads and streets. Make sure to carefully read any posted signs. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern spacious layout with plenty of dining tables both covered and uncovered, plenty of lounge chairs, and a small ball all poolside on a gorgeous property. Plenty of natural lighting everywhere while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs all around including the bar area while a live musician played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=cPGN5wekhW9QqrhcOHxITA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL From start to finish, I enjoyed my time at Holoholo Grill and would definitely return. Everything tasted fabulous, the prices (especially aloha hours) were a tad elevated, the menus were varied enough, and the service was wonderful. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $90.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). I used a different credit card for points purposes, but they accepted mine of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Ordered online for take out since it was getting late. They did say we can request for room delivery, so I did. I called the restaurant because the confirmation message on their website was a bit confusing. Stated "for pick up" but they asked about room delivery. When I called, a female employee took my order again on the phone and said I will pay when the deliverer is at my room door. Long story short, she was incorrect. You just charge it to your room, and just need to sign the check they bring up. The gentleman who delivered our food was really nice. The prices are a bit high, but expected this much since it is a hotel resort's restaurant + Hawaii. The portions are decently sized though. Food was overall OK. Fish and chips were OK... although the fish was interesting. Not up my alley, but not bad. The tartar sauce tasted a bit sweet too, but not bad with the salted fish. The fried calamari was typical, not bad. The burger had a jam like spread in it, and I thought it went well with the rest of the burger taste, but husband didn't like that. Onion rings were heavily battered... especially can tell with their after taste. Ambiance when at the pool seemed pretty nice, although we didn't get to dine in. For convenience, good try, but I don't think I would go out of my way to visit if not a guest here at the hotel. read more

We were staying at the resort and had money in credit so we got both breakfast and lunch here. The food is okay. Breakfast is better. The pancakes were good. But everything is very pricey and we had better breakfast elsewhere on the island. Lunch was also okay. Nothing to write home about. The one good thing was their Holoholo pie for dessert. Very tasty. We likely never would have eaten here is we didn't have the credit to spend. If you're at the resort and you need something easy, it's definitely somewhere to go but I wouldn't come here besides that. Also, they served me a water with a dead lizard in it! They didn't even care or really apologize about it. read more

We had a terrific happy hour on a Wednesday. The servers were all super friendly and made great suggestions. We sat on the patio by the pool and luckily the umbrella was large enough to block the sun! The food all tasted great. The crab dip with 6 or 8 pieces of toasted focaccia was high quality with real crab not surimi. We ordered the flatbread with chicken instead of pork and it was also very good with a nice crispy crust and moist chicken chunks. The wedge salad was a large piece with crisp bacon, candied pecans, grape tomato halves and a tasty dressing. It only needed some red onion to make it perfect. The calamari were crispy but the portion size was too small and the pieces of calamari were too small so the ratio of crust to fish was too high. read more

It was our first night in Kauai after a very long day of traveling. We were looking forward to a relaxing evening. I started with a wonderful glass of brut rose. We were told that the pupi portions were large and could easily be shared. This was true and we split the calamari and my husband found it to be too salty. We both had the fresh catch. He had ahi tuna and I had mancha which I was told was like halibut. It was thinner than halibut and reminded me of mahi-mahi. It was suggested to have it pan seared to make sure it was not overcooked. Well, it was a bit fry from being overcooked. I had a double portion of green vegetables which turned out to be 4 pieces of asparagus. My husband's ahi was served a bit more than seared and rare. His sides were 2 pieces of asparagus and a piece of carrot. In essence we each had a small piece of fish and a small portion of vegetables. This was a mediocre meal in a beautiful setting. They need to step up their game. read more

We were staying at the hotel and my family and I ate here for a night. We had a large party (party of 12) and called in advance to reserve a table for us. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and enjoyed the crab & artichoke dip and macadamia crusted brie! For entrees, we got the short rib & kimchee fried rice and burger& fries. The short rib &kimchee fried rice was so good!! I had a lot left over and warmed it up later in my hotel room. I definitely recommend getting the macadamia nut crusted brie and asking for additional flatbread! The short ribs and kimchee fried rice is pretty shareable as well read more

We decided to eat here after a long day of traveling because it was located in our resort. The service was great and we were told we could choose any table.

We ordered the poolside nachos several times for happy hour and the cheese is so good! Definitely recommend!! read more

This was our breakfast spot for four days straight and we had the opportunity to try out most of their breakfast items. All of them (keiki breakfats, pancakes, surfers burrito, frittata, omelette, Kalua pork hash, and smoothies) exceeded our expectations. It's definitely a nice to try spot in the poipu area. Couple of opportunities (hence -1 star) - there were some suspicious looking stuff in our coffee one morning that shouldn't belong. Told the server. no apologies but she did bring out a new one - smoothie came out about 50% filled one day, had to ask the server correct the problem read more

Delicious food poolside at the Marriott. I did not realize we'd be at a resort, but c'est la vie. It was peaceful and comfortable in the morning. I had the most delish gluten free avocado toast with eggs. My partner had the French toast. He said it was excellent. Our server was helpful and friendly. She showed up at just the right moments. Expect resort prices, but that goes for Poipu in general. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Normally we go to Holoholo for dinner and it's always a nice evening. Just recently we went for Breakfast and it was really good I had cresant eggs Bennie with avocado instead of bacon coz I don't eat meat and I loved it. My guy had steak and eggs and he enjoyed it. So thump's up Holoholo. Ps sometimes service can be better but they are nice. read more

I was skeptical of this place only because it was the only restaurant at the hotel we were staying at. A lot of the times the hotels restaurants aren't all that good but I was pleasantly surprised with the dinner I had here. The dinner was great and is 5 stars. I also came for happy hour another time and they only had fried food for happy hour. The fried shrimp and calamari we had was just "average" for that part. The dinner though was good if you order strategically like how we did it. We ordered the steak without any sauce on it and it was cooked really well and was a quality piece of meat. Mashed potatoes were on point. My wife ordered the poke bowl and we shared both the steak and poke together and it made a nice combo of a dinner. The service was as you would expect at a hotel pool side restaurant and we had zero complaints. Ambience is right next to the pool at the hotel with plenty of tents to protect from the rain in case it rains. There is also a covered area, but we choose to sit outside. I am not sure if I would give this place 5 stars had I choosen different items, but I guess because I ordered well, the food that we got was pretty good. I deducted a star for the so-so happy hour menu and food, but the dinner was great. read more

We were fortunate enough to have this spot inside our hotel. Anyone can eat here so I love that it's open for everyone to try. We ordered breakfast, lunch and dinner at one point during our one week stay. I can say that nothing and I mean nothing disappoints. Their breakfast options were mouthwatering with Mac nut pancakes and French toast. Then we tried their poke bowls many times and loved how fresh it was and an ahi that was incredibly savory. They are generous with their portions and even though you may feel stuffed, you'll finish every last bite. They have great kid options, chicken tenders and onion rings that were crispy and not too oily. I see why people like coming here, they play live music during dinner and the vibes are just perfect on the island. Holo holo keep up the amazing work you put into serving locals and tourists like us, we appreciate your hospitality. read more

Awesome for breakfast, not great for late night. Phenomenal takes on breakfast classics with local and made-from-scratch adjustments. For dinner, I got the local catch fish, it was incredible. However, there were some really horrible communication issues between front and back of house. Our drinks sat at the bar for 10 minutes waiting to be picked up. Multiple people were trying to take our order. When we finally did get drinks and food, they were fantastic! read more

We had dinner there~ and our waitress and service was very sweet and they accommodated us to a table of our choice. However, the food was not as fabulous as others reported in their reviews- at least to us. The coconut shrimp and calamari was good- if you like mostly batter. My salad was a bit lack luster as it was drenched in dressing and the quality of our fish was not nearly as good/fresh as we've had in other places. Unfortunately, we were a bit unimpressed. The ambiance was nice to be outside on the patio part. I would have been bummed if we were seated more in the indside part. read more

For a busy hotel restaurant, this was a good choice. It is near the pool or you can sit at the small bar (10 seats at the actual bar counter). They have live music some nights. The food was made well (lunch bbq sandwich) and the dessert options were good (cheesecake was delicious and the lava cake so just ok). I believe they are also open late compared to other food places in the area. read more

In the Po'ipu Marriott resort, this place is the go to restaurant for hotel guests but also open to the public. Service is excellent and they can hold a large party. I had breakfast one day and it was solid. The smashed potatoes were my favorite. Thick cut of bacon and eggs came out perfectly. Simple Dinner I had the fish of the day. It was good. Caesar salad was soaking in dressing, too much. Portions were right. Not too much and not small. Prices for dinner were a little on high side but expected for Kauai. read more

Came here for dinner with my family. We had stayed at the resort all week and hadn't frequented this restaurant much but it was our Kash night here, so we decided to give it a try for a sit down. Throughout the week, we had gotten some drinks from their bar. A pina colado and a molado during happy hour and then also the ahi poke wrap and the ahi poke bowl for takeout around lunchtime. Food came out quickly. The poke bowl was good and I liked the fried onion, seaweed salad, and edamame additions. The fish itself was decent, not fishy tasting at all. The rice was alright; it was a large portion for a meal so i ended up not finishing the rice but that was fine. For dinner, I ordered the fish and chips, my parents ordered burgers, my sister ordered a flatbread and my brother ordered stir fry with chicken. The portions were very generous. My fish and chips were good. I liked the fish - breading to fish ratio. The pineapple tartar sauce was a bit odd tasting though and if I ordered that meal again I'd ask for normal tartar sauce. I had some of my brother's stir fry and the veggies were really good - I liked the mushrooms. Fries were nice and crispy. My mom and I also tried the lilikoi cheesecake having heard it's one of THE things to try when on the island. The taste of the lilikoi was good but the cheesecake itself was just okay. Overall a good experience. Our server kept our waters filled and a football game on the screens behind the bar kept the guys in my family occupied haha. read more

Pool side grill that serves dinner as well. They have decently large portions and we may have over ordered, but it was all good. We ordered coconut shrimp appetizer, calamari appetizer, and veggie stir fry. I didn't get a pic of the stir fry but it was really good. The shrimp and calamari were definitely shareable and larger than anticipated. Servers were nice, and attentive. Easy place to catch dinner :) read more

Loved this place as well stayed in koloa landing. I just wish there were "inside" seating, especially if its raining or just dont want to be outdoors, but this is the only option at the hotel. But for the food, they are pretty great. We ate here for breakfast and dinner and were satisfied almost every time. We loved their surfer breakfast burrito and their ribeye steak. We ate here quite a bit as our room/building was very close and we had room credit. Service was a little slow and weird with the front desk as we did take out a couple of times. But the servers and bartenders were great. Will for sure be eating here again, especially when we come back to the pool. read more

We got up extra early to see the turtles on Brennecke's Beach. We headed over to Holoholo Grill afterwords for breakfast. The restaurant is located inside a resort, with a view of the "best pool in America". (According to the signs.) Super friendly staff with the welcoming aloha spirit! The menu has a good amount of breakfast options, including Hawaiian fare & typical American breakfasts. I ordered the standard egg breakfast which came with Portuguese sausage (or bacon) smashed potatoes, and toast. I don't think I've ever had Portuguese sausage before but it was delicious!! The smashed potatoes were something I've never seen on a breakfast menu! Basically a baked red potato, smashed flat. As much as I love standard hash browns, I really enjoyed the smashed potatoes! My husband got the Loco Moco. This was amazingly delicious!!! The gravy with the rice, the fried onions, egg (*over medium) and wagyu patty was the perfect merriment and balance of flavors!! Ten out of ten!! Great breakfast, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

We brought our friend here for breakfast. This is another done of our stops when in Kauai. The atmosphere is like being in a lanai not far from the resort pool. But beware, roosters and hens are looking for treats that you may have dropped. Even though the restaurant was busy, our server, Carla, took great care of us. I had the Loco Moco which was flavorful especially with the crispy onions on top of the two fried sunny side eggs. The hamburger must have been half a pound. I didn't think I could handle it. But as my Mom used to say, ' Make sure to eat everything on your plate' and I did. Our friend had the Macadamia Pancakes which I believe were two huge pancakes which she brought half of it back to our villa. read more

The food was delicious. And the patio is beautiful. The service was okay. They were nice but not on top of it. It took a while to place our orders and we had a group of 6, with us all getting our food at separate times. The French toast was amazing! But I would've like a few more strawberry slices. The coffee was so good. Not overly bitter and doesn't send you running to the bathroom. For 2 breakfasts, a coffee and a cocktail w 20% tip it ran about $60 which isn't bad! I'd definitely love to try their lunch menu. read more

We visited Holoholo Grill twice - once for breakfast and once for lunch. We noted the breakfast more than lunch, but both menus were great for a picky family. Breakfast: I would pass on the fruit platter. Expensive for what you get and not very flavorful. The side of pancakes were very tasty. I loved the French toast! Not too sweet. Lunch: The chicken wrap was dull and flavorless. The fries weren't warm and flavorless as well. Munson loved his poke bowl and daughter enjoyed the coconut shrimp. The restaurant is poolside to one of the hotels. The service was great and we were quick to be seated and served. read more

We had the best dinner and lunch here. We spent $$$ at Beach House for mediocre food. This place was casual, food was far superior and food price was good. For dinner husband had the burger and I had the grilled mahi mahi fish. We split the kale arugula salad which was dressed perfectly. He loved his burger and my fish was perfectly cooked and flavoring was mild. The lunch crusted ahi and poke bowl were delicious!
