It was a little further of a drive but the views were well worth it. Shenanigan's is currently undergoing a renovation, so your order is taken at the rear of the restaurant at a service window. A number is given and food is brought to your table. It's a bus-your-own-table system there so please consider that. If you need anything at all, plan on getting it yourself. The views of the beach at Barking Sands is pretty epic and the nice sea-breeze cools down the sometimes oppressive heat-humidity combo. If on base at PMRF, this is your spot to eat!

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT GREAT FOOD!!…read more FINALLY found a place on this island that knows how to make top notch breakfast AND Coffee. Moved from Maui and the last month and a half has been nonstop disappointment trying every place around the island. Others need to come here and take note of how to make food and coffee and the prices of it.

Girlfriend and I were pretty hopeful for this place but it was one of the bigger letdowns from our…read moretrip. We opted for the Kahlua Pulled Pork Sandwich, and it was mediocre at best. The sammich just didn't pack the level of flavor that one would expect. It came with a side of fries, which were actually not bad and pretty tasty. They were a little on the oily side but honestly, I wasn't even mad at that since I needed some flavor to come from somewhere. Food aside, the vibe of this place was definitely off. The person taking our order did not seem the be the friendliest person and came off rather stand-offish. Lastly, buyers beware. If you let it be known that you will be splitting a food item, they will charge you an additional $2.50. Typically, when places do this, it comes with a larger portion for each split of the dish, but this was not the case for us. They took the normal portion, charged as the additional fee, and have us no extra food. 2/5 and would not come back.

What a wonderful Yelp find! Lots of locals, so you know it's good and worth the price!…read more 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.

It's sort of in the middle of an outdoor shopping plaza, and was pretty popular for brunch with a significant line waiting to order. I ended up getting the Riptide Benedict and cold brew, and it was amazing. Delicious kalua pork on the muffin with a perfectly cooked drizzly egg, accompanied with overnight oats. I really enjoyed it. I will say though it was a little bit tough eating with a little one on the benches. I didn't see any high chairs, and of course there were a bunch of chickens around the outdoor eating space. With a little one, just be ready for what you're in for with no indoor seating, but come for the food!

There is a large parking lot leading to two buildings, the right is the restrooms and proshop and the left is the restaurant with covered outdoor seating in the back. The order counter has a nice video menu display where you can review selections. There were many locals coming in for the food, not necessarily golfing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our food was fresh and tasted great. I had the early breakfast which is an egg anyway, a meat (corned beef hash) and a bread (English muffin). My wife had the everything bagel Lox with salmon. Both plates were brought to the table with utensils by staff. Presentation was nice with orange garnish. We were checked on regularly with our coffee. Corned beef was mostly potato, but still tasty. Quiet today, with average conversation noise. Clean, restrooms needed a little assistance. If you want a nice off the beaten path location, that is quiet in the early morning and a reasonably priced, then this is a nice local stop.

So we pulled up to Chicken In A Barrel BBQ around 6:30 PM on a Thursday, and honestly... it hit the spot in the best way. We ordered the 1/2 Chicken, the #3 Baby Back Rib Plate, plus a full order of fries and a side of ranch. Total came out to about $50, which felt totally fair for the amount of food and how filling it was. The ribs were my favorite part -- smoky, meaty, and not dry at all. They had that real BBQ vibe without being drowned in sauce. The chicken had a solid char on the outside and stayed juicy inside (which is not easy after a long day when you're eating fast and don't want to mess around). Fries were crispy and salty -- exactly what you want after a hike like that. This place is simple, casual, no fancy nonsense -- just good BBQ that makes you feel human again. If you're on Kauai and you've been hiking all day (or even if you haven't), this spot is absolutely worth it. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back again.

The dark meat was juicy and tender, but the white meat could be juicier - Coleslaw had some nice fruit bits I believe. It wasn't heavy on mayo so it was nice and refreshing - Chili was more on the watery side and could use a bit more salt, but it had a generous mix of ground beef chunks and beans. I did really like how it had a bit of a kick to it -Self serve BBQ and hot BBQ sauce which paired with the chicken well. The hot BBQ sauce wasn't spicy though. In fact the chili was spicier
