Good vibes. the bartenders were friendly and on point. Definitely a go to dinner spot. ‍‍

What a wonderful Yelp find! Lots of locals, so you know it's good and worth the price! We had the Braise Short Rib special with Garlic Mashed potatoes. And the Hawaiian plate: Kaluah pork, lomi salmon, ahi poke, mac salad, and poi. I'm not a huge poi fan- so I won't comment. But I do love mac salad and theirs is special! Less "wet" from mayo, more on a thicker side-- superb! The braised short rib was melt in your mouth with a great semi glaze and fantastic crust on the meat. It is a sports bar- so the atmosphere is quite lively and loud. Do not expect a quiet dinner. But the patio is less loud. read more

At least the water was good... actually it was just ok haha terrible service. They have seating for 100+ people and when we requested a seat where we could see the soccer game, they declined us because they needed that seating for the rush. There were 12 people in the whole place counting us. No rush came. Our waitress corrected my wife on how to say Lychee and totally said it incorrectly. Haha we slid our table over to the right 4 inches so we could see the game better since there was nobody in the table next to us and she came over and slid it back. She later was visibly annoyed at us for not ordering more and said, "Really?! That's it?" When we told her we were good with what we had. Then an little later asked us to move tables because she had another group coming in. We just asked for the check and left. Never coming back. read more

Hostess turned us away because our 3-year-old son would not be eating from the restaurant menu. Our son has personal needs that affect what foods he can tolerate, but we were not willing to discuss those private matters in front of a restaurant full of strangers just to justify his presence. For a business that proudly advertises itself as family- and child-friendly, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. Apparently, that welcome only extends to families whose children fit a certain mold. Not every child can eat restaurant food. Not every family wants to publicly disclose their child's personal challenges to satisfy a hostess. A little compassion, discretion, and common sense would have gone a long way. Instead, we were made to feel unwelcome and chose to leave. Families with children who have sensory, developmental, medical, or other special considerations should be aware that they may not receive the understanding or accommodation they would reasonably expect from a "family-friendly" establishment. We will not be returning. read more

This is five star bar food. We were looking for something chill and relaxed and found Rob's Good Times Grill. The vibe is modern bar with plenty of TVs for sports and a stage for a band. We started with a refreshing mocktail and a local beer. For apps, we went with the Poke Nachos (4.5/5) and some Brussel Sprouts (4/5). For mains, we had the Salmon Salad (3.5/5), the Bulgogi Bowl (5/5 - plus came with a delicious side salad with Lilikoi Vinaigrette), and the Prime Rib Special (6/5 - surprisingly delicious and the loaded potato was incredible). Overall great experience. Will definitely be back. read more

Great music and food is always a great combo for me. We found it Rob's good times grill. Thursday night was a good night to hear the music of 2 local boys who sang and played while we ate dinner. We found this place by accident and I'm thankful that we got lost a bit because we ended up here. What a great place! The food was delicious and hot! The service was attentive and fast. Overall, our group loved it! While we're in Lihue, we will come back here one more time. read more

Overall: 10/10 PARKING: Free large lot available at the strip mall. FOOD: Always great! I like the clams in the butter sauce with the little toasts it comes with. Best to do family style if with a group, because then you can try more items! VIBE: It's a local spot for sure, casual vibe, great bar, live music on Thursdays, and Trivia Night follows. SERVICE: They have lots of tables to manage, so servers checking in with you can be sparse, but if you need something just flag someone down, and they will take care of you quickly. read more

We never got served. We went with 2 hours before boarding our flight and they had live music which was really, really loud inside so we asked to sit outside. Another table was seated after us but closer to the entrance and they got greeted and served water and their orders were taken but not even a confirmation of our presence us. We asked the hostess station for our server and a few minutes later I motioned to the server when she was three (empty) tables down from us and she gave me the stink eye and walked inside not to be found. We changed tables and still no one came. So we bolted. It's as shame because the customer vibe was good and the menu seemed interesting, service was literally non/existent though! read more

We decided to stop into Robs for a quick bite on the way to the airport! The music was live and absolutely fire ! The inside was packed and lots to look at on the walls! The service was sooooo fast and friendly! The food was a hit, we had the happy hour dishes, salmon dip, ribs, tacos, deviled eggs, and the chicken sliders! Hit the stop! Definitely recommend!!! read more

We came to this place primarily because it's close to the airport, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and atmosphere. My family got the 'gotta try meat' plate, wings, fish & chips, Philly cheesesteak and deviled eggs. everyone enjoyed their food. the eggs are a standout though. We ordered them off the hapoy hour menu.I didnt notice them on the regular menu. come during happy hour to be sure to get them. server was great, not weirdly in your face, but still attentive. read more

Rob's Good Times Grill - Deviled Eggs were delicious! - Sports Bars Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Rob's is a popular little sports bar in Lihue. Great place to grab a drink with friends and family. It's has a lively atmosphere and they also bring in live entertainment. The food is actually pretty good for a sports bar and the menu has some interesting choices. Though they do have some pretty good meal options, what I enjoy the most are the appetizers. Fried ahi bites, calamari, and poke nachos are among my favorites. I could honestly just have a bunch of their appetizers for a meal and leave happy and satisfied. Overall a great hangout spot. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're just looking for a casual and fun place grad a drink and hangout.

We were on vacation looking for a spot to watch UFC and we landed here. Parking: super easy, large lot Staff: all friendly , always appreciate that Food and drinks: Smoked lychee margarita: loved the presentation! The smoke flavor stood out, I had to wait for the ice to melt a little because it was strong Ribs: so tender! We had leftovers and accidentally left them *sad face* Kahlua pork: ok , i think I got spoiled by the other meal I had before this that had crisped up some of the pork Poke nachos: pretty good! The sauce on top is a little sweet so if I were to get it again I might ask for the sweeter sauce on the side Great spot to watch the fights and get some noms! read more

Live Music, plenty of TVs with all the games on and Ono Misoyaki Salmon! And the servers were on point. We will be back!

Drove up from Poipu and went looking for food at 8:00 pm. Hamburger steak, chopped steak, clam soup, French dip...everything was good!

Friendly place, was open past 9 so we were able to get a late dinner. Quite busy but they still checked on us multiple times. People seemed to be having a good time. Food was solid, I enjoyed my poke bowl. Portions were great. Seems like a great place to grab a bite and a drink. There were quite a few family with kids as it's probably one of the places still open late ish around here. read more

Visited Good Times Grill during our stay in Kauai. The staff were warm, friendly, and very welcoming throughout our visit. They also had a live band playing, which created a fun atmosphere and it looked like a lot of people were really enjoying themselves. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sit and eat, though, it can get a bit loud, nothing against the live music, just something to keep in mind depending on what kind of dining experience you're looking for. The ahi nachos were a bit disappointing for us. The ahi itself was fresh and tasted great, but the "nachos" were actually more like fried wontons instead of traditional nacho chips, which felt a little odd and just wasn't really our thing. It would've helped if that was disclosed on the menu or if the server gave a quick heads up beforehand so expectations were clearer. On the positive side, the Tempura Ahi Bites were our favorite dish out of everything we ordered, definitely the standout item for us. The rib plate was also decent with satisfying portions overall. read more

Eh the food here was not good. Typical bar food you can get anywhere. The BBQ plate was borderline gross - ribs were fatty and chicken was slimey. Burger was just average. Waitress was nice but otherwise nothing special. Edit: my daughter ended up getting food poisoning from the food. My husband told me he found a spider in his salad! Gross!!! read more

I love me some Steak. Especially a Good Cut of Ribeye, fat to meat ratio was good. Just the right amount. Was very happy with the size and definitely the price. But, I would say Carrots was hard as a rock, had hard time putting my fork in um. Maybe if can offer some different sides to tje menu. Like maybe mashed potatoes with some homemade brown gravy, mushrooms, baked potato, baked beans. Etc. Jiat my suggestion. But, th3y also have more Onolicious grinds, smoke meat plate winnah, hamburger steak, the burgers are killa. Enjoy! Aloha. read more

First time at Robs and could not be more pleased. Stopped at 4pm for dinner and had club sandwich and wife had burger. By far best club sandwich I have ever had with homemade bread,roasted turkey,bacon and lettuce and tomatoes. Fries were hand cut and fried perfectly. Burger just as good with large burger cooked perfectly with homemade bread and all the lettuce,tomatoes and cheese excellent quality with great Mac and cheese. We will be back read more

Came by cuz Smileys was closed but glad we got directed here by the locals ! Solid sports bar with a variety of food offerings. The Chili Pepper Chicken was as described by another yelper "popcorn chicken with more seasoning". The chicken was juicy and def worth an order. The poke nachos were also good but in the saltier side. Local musicians were there when we ate and it was awesome to see the neighborhood talent. Beers were crisp and fresh and the service was friendly and prompt! Def recommend stopping by here if you're looking to hang where the locals hang. read more

All I could think of is - how much did they pay to create this place???? This is a cool bar in Kauai! They have live music (THANK YOU) and signed guitars on the walls. I think Santana and Eric Clapton signed those guitars. No, they weren't expensive guitars - probably only around $150 max on those, but with the signature, who knows???? Food, typical bar stuff. Beers - nice selection with local ales. Super friendly staff. A+++++ read more

The islanders may hate me for putting this out there, idk, but so far this has been my favorite place! LOVED IT. We were so exhausted and just wanted good food. So glad I chose this place. It was about 10pm on a Friday night. It was filled with locals just hanging out. The vibes were right. I ordered the Gotta Try Smoked Meat Plate which was smoked pork with onions and an options of sides. I finished it ALL by myself and wanted to try something else just because it was that good. My fiancé got the Cajun sandwich and agreed it was phenomenal. I loved sitting and listening to the locals play music. They were the best band I've heard in a long time my time playing at restaurants. I didn't get their name, but I'd go back and listen to them every night this week if I could. Service was good as well. read more

Letting the Good Times Roll @Rob's Good Times Grill. Here is how it went down. We had just finished our train ride at the Kauai Plantation Railway and we were ready for dinner. We had intentions to eat at Gaylord's restaurant on the Plantation property, but it was Sunday and on Sundays... Gaylord's is Closed!!! whomp whomp whomp So onto Plan B! Without hesitation, my sister-in-law immediately jumped into action and whipped out her phone. With a few flicks of her thumbs, suddenly she exclaimed, "I found a place and it's not too far." Before we made our way there, I got on the phone with Rob's and asked if it was kid friendly and if they would be able to reserve a table for our large group of 10. They said yes to kid friendly and that a table would be saved for our big party. So we piled into our cars and off we went. At first look, I thought to myself... 'Where did she take us?' This place doesn't look like Kauai! Do they even have food here?? These were all thoughts that went through my head, but then I remembered the old adage... "Never judge a book by its cover!" So with an open mind, we all made our way into.. Rob's Good Times Grill. As promised, a table with a Reserve sign was waiting just for us! Upon sitting down, we were cordially greeted by our server, a local Hawaiian gentleman and he was super cool and really great throughout our entire service. We all got something different from the menu and everyone seemed to enjoy the local fare. The food portions are big and priced fairly for what you get. Of course, the adults each got 1 alcoholic drink to cheers to our time spent together in Kauai. The menu has lots of great local beers (made on Kauai) as well as Hawaiian made beers from the other islands; A full bar is also available. And if you're a sports fan, you're in good company! Lots of sports memorabilia on the walls and of course big screen tv's to catch the big game on game day. The best part.... Shhhh, keep this a SECRET! (in my whispering voice) This is where the locals go. So if you come here, you didn't hear it from me! Thanks for the great service, the Good food and for allowing my family and I to have yet another great memory while visiting beautiful Kaua'i. Mahalo from the Mainland. read more

Tried Rob's for the first time last Sunday. Service was so friendly. The waitress was all smiles and very helpful with our choices. This is a cool place and surprisingly large on the inside. Looks like they probably have live music and karaoke? I had the Ramen, which was a ridiculously huge serving but, just what i needed with a slight hangover. My daughter had the grilled chicken salad and our friend the kale salad. Everything was tasty and huge portions. Pricing was reasonable. Each entry was around $18-ish. I wouldn't say this is representative of Hawaiian food on Kauai, but it was worth the visit and we will likely be back for a quick lunch or karaoke! read more
