We ordered a simple sausage pizza, but there was nothing simple about it. The crust was cooked to perfection, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and every bite was packed with flavor. On top of the amazing food, the prices were very reasonable, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was outstanding. Every member of the staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to. We've been telling everyone about the best pizza and service we've ever experienced. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop by. 10/10--we can't recommend Jax Wood Fired Pizza enough!

There are a few tables both inside and outside to enjoy your food. It does get pretty hot inside with flies. For two of us, I ordered a Greek salad and lunch special with pepperoni pizza. This is one of the best salads I've had! The meat was thinly sliced, so it had the perfect texture and saltiness. I love the crust of their pizzas and how it's perfectly sour. There is a good crust to cheese/topping ratio. This was more than enough food for two of us. The service here is super friendly, and they kept checking on us throughout our meal. Food was delicious, and I would definitely recommend trying here!

I did not want to put on a suit and pay $80 for alfredo so it was lucky I found Spaghettini. Super nice and Aloha service right from the start. Prices were reasonable and there was a great selection of Pizza, Pasta and even sandwiches to choose from. This seems like a grab and go take home place but they do have a porch with a few tables to sit and eat there. I went with the alfredo which was well cooked al dente linguini. This was well cooked and good but the garlic was on the heavy side. I had never had alfredo with a strong garlic flavor but it was fine. I guess I would put this on par with an Olive Garden as far as taste but happy to support a local business and I think it was a little cheaper than if I had gone to a "chain" place.

We also got the zucchini sticks (I love fried zucchini!) and those were tasty as well. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal.

We ordered the Italian salad to share among 3 of us - there was plenty to go around! I was very impressed because I didn't find a single wilted piece of greens in it!

With all the storms and flooding near by this little tourist town has caused a slow down in business. Found this restaurant on Yelp and made a reservation online. Made the drive over, it's located in one of the areas with different businesses that is walkable. There is parking in lots around them. The place was smaller than we expected, had a relaxed comfortable charm. The weather was comfortable outside so we sat on the covered porch area on interesting heavy well made chairs. Arrived early so the place was relatively quiet Staff were very attentive. Their happy hour runs between 5 and 6, took advantage of the lower rate on two items. Husbands ordered the hamburger which was very juicy and had tasty add ons. It came with garlic fries that were delish. The Tapas we tried were the Spicy garlic shrimp on rice, roasted Brussel sprouts and cauliflower dish. All were delish, be warned the Shrimp dish is very spicy, we ordered a little bread to cut the heat. All in all we enjoyed our dining experience at Maya's.

People saying that it needs more seasoning just didn't order correctly. You can order extra mother's seasoning for it, or buy your own Ray's seasoning to put on.

Waited in line for a little bit and maybe about 30 minutes our chicken was done. Ordered just a whole chicken to try and this was my first time having it. The seasoning is light and the chicken is juicy. I would say this actually tasted pretty alright. But I think I like mine slightly saltier or seasoned more.

The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

Skip the poke here! I know, I know, those are fighting words in Hawaii and probably not the opening…read moreyou expected for a four-star review. And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.

The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

Crispy Grindz in Haleʻiwa has quickly become a spot I recommend, mainly because of their pao de…read morequeijo. They make them in a unique way, pressing the dough on a waffle iron so the outside comes out crispy and crunchy while the inside stays chewy. The four-pack is the way to go--plenty for one person and shareable for two, but I wouldn't try splitting it beyond that because you'll definitely want more than one for yourself. I've also tried the coxinha and the ham and cheese pastel, which were good, though not as much of a standout as the pao de queijo. Everything is served very fresh, so fresh in fact that I burned my mouth on the pastel because of the steam pocket inside, so it's worth letting things cool a little before biting in. Seating is all outdoors at picnic tables with umbrellas, and while there's usually space available, you might need to share a table if it's busy. There's no cooling, so it can get hot during the day even with the shade. Parking is on the street out front. I've never had trouble finding a spot, but pulling in and out can be tricky if there's traffic going by. Overall I'd give Crispy Grindz 4 stars. The pao de queijo alone makes it worth stopping for, while the other items I tried were good but not the best I've had. I haven't tried the bowls or other menu items, so I can't comment on those, but if you're in the area the pao de queijo is something I definitely recommend.
