    Ehh it was ok, I don't really get all the hype. There is always a big line in a small claustrophobic space. The day i went they were literally out of everything except steak, no poke bowl or chicken. The portions and flavor were ok. There was also nowhere to sit, they only have like 6 high top tables

    Steak and Chicken Combo
    Anetra T.

    This place was a 10 out of 10 the portion for the steak and chicken plate with rice and salad was more than enough. I couldn't even eat it in one setting. It took me two days to eat it and it was well worth it cooked to perfection. the price was right what more can I say.

    Small steak plate

    We had lunch here on May 16th. One of the best meals of our trip! The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and very flavorful! The young lady who waited on us was very friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. My only issue was with a woman who appeared to be a manager that was publicly berating an older kitchen employee outside to the left of the counter. She literally was chewing this employee out for a good 15 minutes about him encroaching on the space of another co-worker. It was so unprofessional and I felt super bad for the man. Conversations with staff should never take place in the presence of the public and should be professional at a minimum! We would definitely eat here again but their manager definitely needs to learn some leadership skills! She is the reason for 3 star review.

    Steak/Combo plate

    A hidden gem next to the Outrigger Reef Hotel on the Beach. There is a path to walk on the right side as you head towards the beach. Once you reach the beach, the Shack will be on your left next to a shave ice place. They serve just three things - steak, chicken, & Kalbi & they even cut it into small bite pieces. We got their steak/chicken combo plate & it was really good. It comes with rice, tossed greens & two choices of dressing - Italian or Ranch. It also comes with a killer teriyaki sauce for the steak. The chicken itself I believe was cooked with that killer sauce. We got here at 4pm & were lucky that there was no line. We passed by around 6:30pm & there was a long line that stretched onto the beach sand. Go early if you can. If I'm in the area again, I'm definitely coming here.

    Check your salad before eating. This is the 3rd I got a bug in it.

    Check your salad for bugs! I've eaten there 3 times and each time there has been a bug in it. They moved to a new location which was just next door. The steak was pretty salty this time around and overcooked.

    Pretty simple in terms of menu options, but it's hard to beat that beachside location. I tried the Steak and Chicken combo (personally think the chicken was better) and was pretty satisfied. Most likely going to have a wait time as it's a popular spot on the beach.

    Yes, so good. Large portions and line went by fast!! Food didn't take long either. Bonus points for being right next to the beach!!

    Very tasty and a large portion. I got the 6oz steak plate and it was great. Even the rice had a lot of flavor. They were busy but the food was ready quickly. You just walk up and order right on the beach.

    Sunset

    Recommended by someone we met at the resort pool and checked it out tonight for dinner. Line was long but it went fast. Ordered two 12 oz steak plate one medium and one well done. Cashier said 20 min wait but it took like 30 min. Luckily for us, we found the perfect place to sit just in time to watch the sunset (picture #2). Food wise, they gave a huge portion of rice, meat and salad. But our meat was cooked the same way (well done) even though I asked for medium. 4 stars because the steak was too "peppery" for me even if drenched with the yummy teriyaki sauce it came with. And yes, it was pretty pricey. Still have to think about if it's worth it. Would I go again? I would but will share a plate next time :)

    6oz Signature Steak Plate
    Daniel A.

    For the cost of this plate in Waikiki, it does a great job. Pepper steak done right at whatever steak doneness you want. This combined with a salad. I got the ranch dressing and chose to skip it because it tasted like a very generic ranch, homemade ranch would have hit the spot. Instead I just used the teriyaki sauce over my salad. This is all over a generous pile of rice. The wait is a good 30-40 min to order and get you food but it was worth it.

    Our 14-ounce steak, rice, and salad lunch plate.
    Richard D.

    Was staying at the Outrigger Reef next door, so we dropped by for a bite to eat. The line can be long because it's extremely popular, and rightly so. Even though the line may be long, the service is fast. Their menu consists exclusively of steak plate lunches, thus the name Steak Shack. We got the 14-ounce steak plate for $27. The sliced steak is on a bed of rice, and the salad is in a separate container. It's very, very good, and is reasonably priced as my wife and I shared the plate lunch, and still have some left over. Steak Shack is located on the beach on Kalia Rd, so it's very convenient if you're staying at Outrigger Reef, Halekulani, or Hale Koa Hotels. Highly recommended!

    12oz Steak Plate
    Amber L.

    I come to Honolulu once a month for work and this is my must stop! The food is sooooooo good. The steak I get is medium well and melts in your mouth. The Salad and ranch is amazing and I love the soy sauce that comes with it. Perfect combination with rice and everything. I always have to have A1 with my steaks but this steak doesn't need it. The staff is very friendly the outside area is clean. Highly recommend!!!!

Empty glasses sat on the table for a while. Then our $210 steak arrived and it was overcooked- ordered it rare and came over medium. By this point, we were so tired we didn't want to send it back so we tried to chew it. Everyone around us seemed happy so maybe it was just us, but it didn't get off to a good start from the beginning for us. For a $400 dinner for 3, there are better options in town- sad to say.

The temperature and cook on both the steak and the lobster were absolutely spot on. The only minor downside was that the food came out a bit on the saltier side for my personal taste. If the seasoning were dialed back just a fraction, it would have been a flawless meal. Overall, the stellar service, great drinks, and smooth pacing make this spot well worth a visit. I will definitely be back!
