We went here with party of 8(they charge 20% grat. at party of 6+) we came in ordered appetizers right away, as well as drinks. Never got drinks. 20min in our appetizers were on the counter still waiting to be served to us, we finally went up to the counter and asked the cook to take them he said yes. 9minutes later our male server came and finally asked us if we were ready to order. We said cancel the drinks. We were ready to leave. We ordered three appetizers (wings,chips, onion rings and the total was just under $50) insane. I should have to serve my table. And still have to pay the gratuity fee. We never even got refills of our waters which were gone before we even ordered appetizers. And the place was not packed- maybe about 1/2 filled 3 servers working. read more

We went here not once but twice. They have something for everyone cocktail and brew wise. Them onion rings with the special ketchup though. That's the real specialty. Not to mention the real server who gave the best advice and told us about the ketchup. Aka really cool staff. Mules on point. read more

Great place for bigger parties. Service was great. Food was decent but not the best we had.

Wow. This place was amazing. Food was fantastic and the staff were amazing. I want to go back so bad!!! read more

I am bit torn on this place. We ended up stopping by 3 times. Each time was a completely different experience. The first trip I grabbed an hazy IPA that made me think this was the best brewery on the island and that beer could compete with some at home. The second beer I had was a dragonfruit wheat that was really amazing. Nice tart flavor. Almost came off as a sour beer, not too sweet at all. The second trip was Sunday and football was on. It was very loud in there. Not normal football bar loud, somehow louder. I did not care for that experience, but it was the last 5 mins so it was fine. We ended up ordering food and I am happy to say the food was really good. The service this night was weird. For example I requested a third slider, but only got two, only paid for two as well, but you know. Plus it took some time to get the waitress for service. After we ate she was helpful, so it may have been the environment that night was throwing everyone off. The third trip we just had some drinks and every beer I had was ok to not great. They were three other ipas and I was not a huge fan of any of them. So overall I had two of the best beers on the island, followed by three of my least favorite beers on or off island. The food was extremely good, but honestly overpriced. If I were a local I dont think this would be my spot. Its a little too touristy and by a heavily tourist area. I am honestly of two minds for this place. read more

Best pizza we had on our trip it's a must try! Great food and ambiance! Make sure you ask for Sae to be your server she's the best! Will be back for sure! read more

Great food and service! They brew their own beer so highly recommend to anyone who loves beers. Good atmosphere for large parties. We loved the smoked meat (wild boar) pizza and appetizer. It was so good! Our server told us that they get the smoked wild boar meat from local hunters on the island. Highly recommend that you try it! read more

I really liked this place! I came here straight after a hike in Waimea so I was dirty and tired and just not feeling very sociable, but the server was super nice and made sure we were being taken care of. The food menu is what you'd expect from a bar menu, but it was better than basic bar food. There weren't too many restaurants that were open so we were kinda of "settling" on eating here, but I'm glad we did. They have a bunch of tv's playing various sports channels so I could see it getting super busy here at times, but on a Sunday evening in the middle of summer it was pretty dead. Thanks Kauai Island Brewery & Grill for great service and delicious food! read more

[covidtime-3/14/2020 visit] Still before things totally changed, we went on a sea tour, but also stopped here for some great food and drink. Server was fantastic, we got some "last beer today" tshirts (furthest west brewery before date time line) and the food was good. Interacted with the next table, a retired DC medical doctor about what was coming. Still, despite the coming issues, we had a great meal, a great server, and am currently wearing one of their tshirts. read more

This place was super busy when we got there and I can see why. The food was sooooo good and the service was even better. I wish I remembered the waitress's name so I could give her kudos. She was busting her butt, taking care of so many tables while being super helpful and pleasant. As for the food, don't sleep on the fish and chips and beer battered fish tacos. They were delicious that I could have eaten so much more. read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Arrived at 7:30ish on a Friday nite to meet family and friends. Large group of about 15-20 but we all didn't need to sit or eat together. Some of the guys wanted to get a few seats at the bar (the place does bill itself as a BAR/BREWERY) some wanted to sit at tables. Was met with a sour faced host at the front who told my sister that a group our size would "overwhelm" the staff. Server with sparkly makeup (sparkles did NOT translate to her personality), flicked some chairs around, told everyone to move out of the way, didn't even crack a smile. Went to the bar to see if that was a little more accommodating and walked into 6 empty bar stools while the bartender was having a meltdown about 4 guys trying to sit. He told them he couldn't handle everyone and that they couldn't just stand there - but wait, don't sit down! - and then proceeded to walk away. 6 of us decided to leave since the host, bar tender, and couple of other servers there were borderline hostile. Could share a couple other rude words the servers said but nah. Only good thing was the braddah playing music. Would give 0/5 if I could. read more

Food & beers were good. Upon closing out our bill we left a cash tip & our waitress shook her head & asked if things were good, I guess she didn't like what we left . We're kamaaina & brown & didn't receive the same service as the tourists/ Caucasian guests did. I guess smarten that should be a property for this place. Such a shame read more

Stopped here for lunch. Enjoyed the meal and beers. We liked it so much we went for Dinner the next day. Great Poke, Pulled Pork and ribs. Indoor and outdoor seating and there was live music for the evening. Lot's of lunch traffic from the local day cruise boats, but if driving through this area, you should eat here. read more

Can I say TO DIE FOR! We had just come off a sunset cruise and this restaurant was conveniently located and the only restaurant open. Very cool to find a microbrewery (had to get the t-shirt of course. But the food is some of the best we've had on the island. My fresh ahi tuna was heaven on earth and Hubby said the fish and chips was the best he'd ever had....anywhere. We are debating whether to try a different restaurant for our last night on the island or just go back here, it was amazing! read more

This was our first stop in Kauai after dropping our belongings at the air bnb we stayed at. Our friends got married in Kauai and they had a get together here on the first day. I was very hungry ( first meal after a long travel day hungry) and ordered a chicken burger that was grilled, my husband ordered the poke bowl. Both were really good, I did have slightly lower expectations since it was a brewery but the food was very good! Definitely do not have pics this time bc we were starving! For drinks we had a skinny margarita I believe which was pretty good but nothing to write home about! read more

Bartender "Megan" wasn't overly welcoming, attentive or seemingly happy to be at work. We sat at the bar. She didn't say you're welcome or thank you. The most pleasant person was the gentleman that greeted us at the door. Food was good but the service ...not so much. Not a welcoming experience for a tourist. read more

I would return on my next visit to Kauai. I'm thinking positive & post-Covid! Their beer was great! Their food was typical American fare which is nice. A lot of fried foods, but they do have some good fish offerings. The deal is once you've had a fun filled day of activity it's okay to enjoy this food right? Yes! Right! And ... if you've never had Loco Moco ... It's a MUST! Decadant yes, but one of those meals you do at least once. Of course I had to purchase a t-shirt. It has a great logo: Last Beer Before Tomorrow. Now who would not want that kind of shirt message ... grin. See the photo below. read more

Kauai Island Brewing - "Last Beer Before Tomorrow" ... Great Meme for a Brewery! - American Near Me - Eleele, Hawaii

Spicy poke is excellent. Service was great. Open warehouse style dining. Lunch was outstanding.

We went to the glass beach and on our way there we remembered we gad been @ this brewery before so we decided that once we finished our glass hunt, we would stop there on our way out. After almost all day at the glass beach we stopped @ the brewery to have a well earned beer. The place looked tidy and friendly. We were greeted by a host while we were getting outta the car (we parked right by their desk thats Y). He directed us to our table and as soon as we sat down, our waiter came around to offer us sum refreshments, I picked the German Pilsner 'n the wife asked for a Plantation Ice Tea. Jeremiah, our waiter for the day told us he had never heard o' that drink so we told him the contents and he said he'll prepare one for us. "That was the BEST Plantation Ice Tea I ever had" my wife complemented him. We ordered Nachos to go w' the beer and fish 'n chips. Great choices as they tasted good as well as the fish and fries. We found out Jeremiah is a Chef but that he identifies as a waiter on his day 0ffs. After talking to him for a bit, we figured out he is also a chef fir hire. Ge is available fir parties and any kine engagements. Keep it UP jeremiah? U are a people person and I believe that anything you put your mind to U will succeed. read more

Service makes such a huge impact on dining experience. And sadly, the service we received left a rather bitter taste in our mouths along with their lukewarm mediocre beers. Huge shoutout to the rude af waitress who attends the tables out on the porch on feb 7, 2022 at 4:30pm. Upon entering the premise of this property, we see the sign that says to wait at the stand to be seated and so we did that. However, one member of our party walked about 3 feet past the stand to scan the menu. Along came this angry negative ball of energy (the rude af waitress mentioned in the previous paragraph) yelling at her to move out of the way lmao. Like chill out? Where's the mahalo vibes bruh? When the hostess came to seat us, she asked us if we wanted to be seated inside or outside. We said outside, so we can enjoy the fresh air filling up the mahalo air of Kauai. Upon hearing our answer, the previously mentioned negative ball of energy said under her breath, "the wait is going to be long." Basically implying that her service for us was going to be slow lol. After we heard that, we immediately did our future selves a favor and respectfully asked the hostess to move us inside, thinking we would receive a better service inside. But, fools are us because inside service was also lukewarm just like the beers we had :( Suggestion to the management, maybe assign more waitress to attend the front porch tables so that the negative ball of energy isn't so overwhelmed and saying passive aggressive shit to first time newcomers. read more

Kaua'i Island Brewing Company in Port Allen has character, as a solid brewery should: a local musician playing on the lanai, the smell of hops mingled with whatever good stuff's cooking in the kitchen, locals enjoying a pint after the workday at nearby businesses, a variety of beers to suit a range of palates. This unpretentious gem brought us two delights on a particular September afternoon: Muddy Brown Slippah, an "accidental" ale combining cacao, coconut, and coffee to create this standout beverage, and the chef's special, as suggested by our friendly 'tender, Chase, a plate of cajun charred lamb chops on a bed of risotto, a dish fit for a fine dining establishment. Having only anticipated enjoying a pint and some fries, we left feeling content and satisfied with the melange of flavours mingling in our mouths and bellies. Mahalo, Chase, for a most brilliant reco! If you're in the area, stop by for a beer, nod your greetings to the kitchen staff, be kind to your bartender. They may offer you some "secret menu" dish being conjured up by the chef on the magical island of Kaua'i. Dear Brewing Team: Please add Muddy Brown Slippah to your regular menu. read more

By far the best breakfast I've had here. Great service, amazing food. Sports on 3 flat screens with sound, but not too loud. We ordered the loco moco, medium, although I think medium rare would've been a little softer, but still fantastic. Finished off the meal with the fruity pebbles French toast and couldn't be happier. Prices are very fair and would definitely recommend coming here. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was the best I've ever had. The half pound burger was great too. It's a nice place for good comfort food.

The beer selection is great for what you will find in the area. You won't find a larger local selection around. The atmosphere is chill, but lots of construction going on during my visit. It will be nice when it is done and you can sit outside... I found this place on yelp and was really excited about the wraps that were on the menu and in the photos. Turns out those are old photos and they don't do wraps anymore :( updated menu photos are attached. The food was good but just typical bar food - nothing stood out special, but it was good grub. read more

Finally made it back! It's been 8 years, but true to my word, I planned to give this place another chance. After taking the self guided driving tour of Waimea, we were ready for a beer and some food. We were lucky to get 2 seats at the bar and had Nate as our server - very friendly and efficient. After tasting both Capt Cook & the Fonz IPAs, we be each selected The Fonz ayyy- so good! We shared an order of yummy grilled fish tacos that hit the spot. The sun was settling and the vibe was great! I now highly recommend visiting Kauai Island Brewing when you visit Kauai! read more

This brewery is definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. We popped by after a day a Poipu beach. We sat at the bar. Service was great. Bartender and other staff were friendly and attentive. We got a sampler of IPA's. I got the Lilikoi Ale. All tasty, though I admit I'm not much of a beer connoisseur. The munchies we ordered were so good. The green papaya salad was so fresh tasting. The dressing was sweet, tangy and a hint of spice. I would come back again just for this papaya salad. Also got the calamari fingers. These r sooooooooooo good. I may never eat calamari rings or strips again. These r the absolute best fried calamari I've ever had. The breading is light. The texture was nice and chewy and not tough. Kudos to the chef here! One more note. Glass beach is right down the road from the brewery. Skip the beach and just go to the brewery. U can drive right down to the beach and take a look for 2 seconds. There's not much glass, but maybe we went at an off time. read more

Parking can be a problem because of the boat tours are all in the same area. We got there about 1 pm and happened to be lucky to find a parking space nearby. They seem to be short handed. Either go to their website or scan the QR code. After placing the order for two beers: stout and pale ale which took them about 15+ minutes to get them. There were 2-3 bartenders and only two servers. My son-in-law and I ordered the friend Calamari, my daughter, the chicken sandwich and my wife, the Ahi Poke. It took me 20+ minutes for our food to arrive and also the silverware. We still love this place choice of beer Is excellent and the food is delicious. read more

Food was decent. Service on the other had was questionable. Came by for their happy hour and were seated right away. All the appetizers were $1 off which isn't the best happy hour deal but we made do with the appetizers. Ordered calamari, wings, fries nachos, and a hard cider bottle. Our fries were taking a while to come out after everything else had and we'd asked our waiter and said that they canceled our order. For no reason... it was very odd. It also took a while to get help with our order. The calamari was very different from what I've ever had. They were in very large slices - but delicious. read more

Meh at best.... Thursday, September 28th. Our server was miserable, food was warm at best. The pizza took over an hour to arrive and we were told it's because they had to go orders ahead of us. Kitchen is a disaster, dishes and mixers near the bathroom entrance. Unsecured box of floor had a kid playing by it. Their beer is good, but this place needs a good manager to clean it up and set some standards. The guy filling the water was at least nice. read more

We had a wonderful Father's Day dinner here last week. We sat out on the porch and enjoyed the tasty beer and a cocktail. Our server was delightful and gave great recommendations for what to order, e.g. getting one fish taco (made with fresh mahi mahi) grilled and the other beer-battered. The fries were excellent too. Very family friendly - we saw a different server entertaining a toddler at another table. Highly recommend! read more

I was not impressed with the food. Hot wings were luke warm and tasted horrible. Lots of little pieces of chicken and batter were coated and deep fried. Was not what we were expecting for jot wings. My husband got the cheese burger. Was not hot. Food had to be sitting for awhile. The kids hot pizza which was hot but so so. Ordered a Mi Thai that did not taste like a Mi Thai Seating outside was right by the band and we had a hard time hearing our conversation. Service was slow too We would not return to this place read more

Pretty small place, but packed a ton of good food and some nice beers. Interior is a warehouse and not much but the outside covered patio is nice. They seem to stay busy, as it was packed the whole time we were there and several beers ran out by the time we wanted another round. The employees seemed overwhelmed with the amount of people they had to deal with, as servers were hard to track down and bartenders and hosts weren't all that friendly or helpful. Our server was very friendly but seemed scattered and forgot many things. I think this is a good place but they need a bigger space and/or more help to make things better for guests and employees. read more
