Well that ain't happening here. Stopped here to grab a few basics. Shelves are almost empty and selection sparse. But the kicker was the attitude of the woman behind the counter. Surly, snappy and went out of her way to be unpleasant. We all have bad days but rolling your eyes because I ask for sauce on the side instead of on top for a poke bowl? Arguing with me because I want to buy twelve Sparkling Ice drinks? Another eye roll when we added another popsicle to our items before she was finished ringing up all our items! I should have just left everything on the counter and walked out. Instead I spent $100 and got tons of attitude. Couple days later I needed more ice. Go back here? Heck no. I drove to Foodland where the folks couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Our Hawaii visit was wonderful and we experienced the Aloha Spirit every where. Just not here.

I did not like that they seemed to expect a tip upfront before you received either service or food, so I didn't leave one. It was not clear where the service came in. The food was overall good. The fish tacos were great, the hamburger was good. The chicken sandwich was a little dry and tough. The setting is beautiful. Food was very pricey.

I'm so glad I come down to Waimea regularly for work that I can restock on food for my pup. He absolutely loved the raw dog food mix with beef and sweet potato. Oh! Don't forget that this isn't just a butcher shop, it's a take out and sit down restaurant with a nice bar selection! On certain nights they have live music too. Vibes are everything here. Service is so on point. Everyone is super nice and friendly. I learned a lot about Empress Gin (now my favorite choice for a cocktail). The food always comes out amazing. Pulled pork was moist and flavorful and the brisket, perfect! I truly recommend this to anyone driving through or staying in Waimea!

I opted for the premium fresh ahi tuna Hawaiian style which is $20 for a pick 2 poke bowl. I ended up choosing that and the spicy salmon. Loved the flavor of the spicy salmon which tasted like a gochujang seasoning. I'm not a huge fan of mayo in poke so this was great for something spicy without the creaminess of mayo. Ahi was great as well, the Hawaiian flavor is on the lighter side but it did taste very fresh. It's on the pricer side for supermarket sushi but it's definitely better than what I usually see in the states.

We arrived early after maybe 10am. That means like should be fresh, right? The gentleman serving poke was wonderful! Very kind and easy to talk to. He was very patient waiting for us to make a decision. Once, we were ready to check out, only self check-out was available. This was fine. No big deal. We also purchased fried vinegar chicken wings (which was really good). They've made portions smaller but it's ok. Still worth the money. Now, for the poke itself. It was not good. I couldn't figure out why and husband said it did not seem fresh. That's it. The texture or flavor was not what it usually is. It was ok but they have served better. I have been craving this poke for weeks too. It was so bad that I just didn't feel like stopping by another day. Maybe, next time we visit, the poke will be fresh. Keep in mind, this is one of the only grocery stores around this area so be prepared for some very high prices on water and snacks. Convenient items needed are very pricey as well. Excellent customer service will make up for all those things though. I'm sure I will be back. Oh, and I cannot forget my butter mochi. Another craving I get in Hawaii. I will wait to hit the grocery stores for this and it never disappoints.

Super crispy on the outside, fresh, flavorful, and coated perfectly without being overly messy. The order came with about 8-pieces and every wing came out hot and fresh with that sweet savory glaze that keeps you reaching for "just one more." Tiny flavor fireworks. The Good Ol Burger was exactly what you want from a classic burger. Nothing overcomplicated, just a juicy patty with all the fixings on a soft delicious bun. Simple comfort food done right. Waitress was quick and to the point . But no hard feelings. Overall, good food, fresh ingredients, and a chill Waikoloa vibe. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving wings and burgers after a beach or Golf Day. Aloha!

The manager Chris came out to greet us during the dinner as well to make sure everything was going great which was a nice touch. The ribeye steak was out of this world. So juicy and flavorful and cooked to perfection in a red wine sauce. The salmon fettuccini was amazing as well. We sat on the back patio and the view of the golf course in the background was beautiful. We will definitely be coming back here!

Beyond the food, the view created a pleasant ambiance and made for an enjoyable dining setting. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by a cleanliness issue when our coffee was served. Both cups had visible lipstick marks on the rims. Although the staff promptly replaced them, it was an unpleasant first impression and raised concerns about attention to detail in dishwashing and quality control. Clean tableware is a basic expectation, so this was disappointing to encounter. Overall, we appreciated the food, the beautiful setting, and the staff's response, but the cleanliness issue significantly detracted from the experience.
