Solid 4 dining in the Hilton Hawaiin Village. Long wait for dinner but much to do/see in the area while you wait. The text for your table may come faster than estimated so don't stray too far. The menu has options for everyone. The vegetarian options were the Veggie Burger and Chow Fun Noodles. After reading reviews, I opted for the burger. My daughter had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos. The burger was tasty but on the smaller size. The tacos were good. Service was outstanding. This is a nice convenient restaurant option if you're staying at the HHV. read more

Currently here as I write this review. We were placed on the waitlist (10-15 mins) We watched people get seated before us so we asked about the wait time again The hostess that checked us in the first time ignored us and another hostess sat us down. We weren't welcomed when we were sat yet everyone around us was welcomed warmly. I've eaten here twice before and had no problems but tonight.... They missed the mark. read more

Great service, terrible sandwich!!! I got the crispy chicken sandwich and it was like rubber. I ate like 5 bites but couldn't eat anymore it was so gross. The fries were good! My dad gave the mahi tacos 6/10 read more

I think this place stays open because it's good enough for hotel dining. I got the grilled catch of the day sandwich, which was Mahi Mahi. Worst fish sandwich ever. Well, it was mostly a cole slaw sandwich with a small fish square in it. The bun was huge. The cole slaw itself was very bland. read more

Tropics Bar & Grill - Grilled Catch of the Day Fish Sandwich* Don't see any fish in this sandwich? Neither did I taste any! - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went here two separate occasions during our stay at HHV, once for lunch and once for dinner. Very happy overall with the food variety and staff. I also LOVE that their quoted wait time are over-estimated and the next thing you know, you are seated within 5-10 mins (but told it's 25). Happened on both occasions. Food is great and tastes fresh, despite being a hotel restaurant. Definitely a need-to stop at place while in HHV. The view is the beach and water is also very nice! read more

Had breakfast here one morning and Judy was our server. I Ordered the avocado toast and it was good but different from home. We also had some fish dip and some drinks as a late lunch before our luau. Overall a nice atmosphere and good food. read more

Well, the waiter was pretty nice. Very attentive. Place has a good bustling vibe. Food selections varied. I had a catch of the day, white fish if I recall. Fish was on a bed of risotto. It was fine, not crazy good but fine. We tried chicken wings. There's only six pieces but the wings and thighs are bigger than the average. Drinks are great. Guys pour them to clients' desires. We did come for breakfast as well. Had island or Hawaiian style eggs Benedict. It makes them Hawaiian because of pulled pork. Again, for morning choices - pretty full selection of items. read more

I don't have any strong opinions about this place. Its decent food with views of the ocean. I think you definitely pay hotel and waterfront prices but it's no different than most places in waikiki on the water. I went here with my parents and uncles family for brunch. Our server, Brian, was super tentative. Only comment i would have is we had to request water for everyone, would be nice if that was automatic or at least he asked us, since it seemed standard everywhere else we went. But overall, good brunch spot. read more

We ate breakfast here 4 days during our trip and looked forward to it every morning. Loco moco was great and the oceanfront view can't be beat. Such a relaxing way to start the day in Waikiki. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Hawaii! read more

Tropics Bar and Grill is visually a nice oceanfront bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu. My family and I came for dinner one of the nights we were there on vacation. We were seated immediately with a great view of the ocean. We ordered the Fish Tacos, Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger with Fries, Kids Hamburger and Fries, Poke Nachos, Hot wings and Coconut Shrimp. I can only really comment on the Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger because it was what my husband and I shared -- it unfortunately was one of the blandest burgers we have ever had. I am talking ZERO seasoning. I dipped it in ketchup in order to eat it though because I was starving. I believe everyone else in our party liked what they ordered. Our server was amazing - she actually said that the Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger was a new menu item and asked my opinion on it. I was honest with her and she appreciated it - even gave us a discount on the bill which I thought was unnecessary, but very nice of them to do. I also ordered a Dirty Martini that was heavenly! Overall, we were really disappointed in our meal. I think I would come back again though and give them another try if we ever had the opportunity! Rating is 3.5 stars because of service! read more

Location is outstanding. Drinks are a bit weak but not too bad all considering. Food is average. Nothing to write home about. If you're staying at HHV and don't want to leave the property it will do the job but there are many other places on property which are a better value. Service was good. Servers/waitress were all attentive. No problems at all other than food being mid at best and drinks kind of weak. I'd go back but probably for drinks and maybe an appetizer. read more

Eh. This place is has "Tacos and Tequila Bar" as advertised. I came to this place 2xs for their tacos. The first time I ordered off their regular menu which only had ONE taco which was a shrimp taco. I don't know how a business can be advertised like this but not offer tacos. It is literally on their main sign!! I decided to give their taco Tuesday a try since they advertised multiple different tacos. I tried their chicken and ground beef taco. Both were not good at all! The tacos did not even have salad on them they were literally just tortillas, dried meat and cilantro with a couple pieces of onion. They were resembled to left over day old meat slapped in a greasy tortilla and not in a good way. The 2 star is for the shrimp tacos. read more

Food great! Service awesome & ambiance amazing again right on beach , staff nice great view while you enjoy amazing drinks and food I love it gong back now! read more

Loved the vibes! We stopped by Tropics Bar & Grill in Waikiki at night, and it was such a nice experience. The beachfront view was beautiful -- perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. The bartender was really attentive and friendly, which made the night even better. The atmosphere felt lively but still chill, with good food and great service all around. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you want good drinks and appetizers. A nice beach vibe at night! read more

Great ocean views and fast friendly service make this spot a must. They are a little on the pricier side and I just don't think it's warranted. The food is very good and the views of the sunset during the dinner hour are amazing! But this still didn't justify the price in my opinion. For lunch I got the bacon cheeseburger and my wife got the Katsu chicken. All of this was very good. The food was hot and fresh. Even the French fries came out perfectly crisp and hot. For dinner we had the dinner for two. This came with brisket, chicken and sausage. Definitely filled us up but the $84 price tag was a bit much so we stuck with just water. read more

Why not start your day with breakfast and a view here at Tropics Bar & Grill. The restaurant is right next to the beach with both indoor and outdoor seating. I'd recommend getting the outdoor seating to enjoy the beach view. We were greeted with a nice hawaiian lady who was friendly but also funny and cracked jokes very now and then. She asked where we were from and then uses that info to create conversations which made ordering a breeze. I ordered the Steak and eggs ($35), while my other half ordered the loco moco ($34) and lastly a side of pancakes for our little one. The steak was a bit tough and not that flavorful. I opted for potatos instead of the salad and got fried rice as well. Eggs were cooked just how i wanted it, over easy. The pancakes were a good side dish. 3 pancakes with a good size cup of butter, syrup and whip cream. The loco moco gravy was tasty and the hamburger patty was a good size. The fried rice went well and added more flavor to the dish. Overall, good food and views! Staff are friendly and always checking up on you. I'd imagine dinner on a Friday night with the sunset/firework show would be amazing here. read more

We had a nice, relaxed dining experience at Tropics Bar & Grill during our trip. The restaurant is spacious, open, and beautifully located right by the ocean, which makes it a great spot to enjoy a meal with a view. We ordered the Chow Fun Noodles and the No Meat Here (Veggie Burger). The veggie burger was good and satisfying. The Chow Fun noodles were okay and nicely seasoned , personally, I think it would be even more delicious if the tofu were deep fried for a bit more texture. That said, everything was still enjoyable. What really stood out was the service. The staff were very nice, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant and comfortable. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the oceanfront setting combined with friendly service makes this a great place to relax and enjoy a casual meal. read more

Can only speak to the breakfast here, there were a handful of options but what sold us was the view with breakfast. The restaurant is right on the main walkway of waikiki beach which makes for great people watching! This sunrise sando was so flavorful and delicious but be warned it does have a mild spicy kick also had the fluffiest and softest folded eggs. The menu was a little unclear about the lettuce because it made it seem like it came on the sandwich but it comes as a little side salad with a vinaigrette dressing which was tasty. Not pictured but the order of banana bread was a hidden gem it comes with 2 slices and you can see and taste the freshly mashed bananas. Service was great here, the servers gave great tips about places to see and other restaurants to try. When dining here be aware that they have a net over the patio to keep birds out but some still manage to get in and they get stuck within the patio so you will have some birds flying around inside. read more

Had drink and popcorn shrimp here last night. Yum. My only complaint is I ordered a Chardonnay and when I got the 2nd one the glass was much much larger........ I felt a lil cheated, but maybe he hooked me up? LOL Had breakfast here this morning and the Kailua pork Benedict is so delicious. Huge too, I split with my friend. The potatoes are yum. I had the mango tea and he kept refilling my glass, full from that, and then he gave me one to go. The banana bread was to die for!!! Best I've had this far. Beautiful view on the beach. Love Tropics. read more

What a beautiful location to enjoy a drink and/or a meal with friends and family. The restaurant is just about on the beach itself, so you can see beautiful sunsets. They have a wide variety of drinks and a healthy menu full of a variety of food options. There is something for everyone. It's a bit pricey, but you are in paradise. Check out their menu that I posted. It will give you a good idea of what they offer. read more

While staying at Hilton Hawaiian village we had the opportunity to have breakfast here a few times. This is the main restaurant for sit down break fast options. The other one (see my review for bali ocean) is only open thurs-sun. The food is pricey given Honolulu prices with the resort mark up. Some dishes were a hit others were a miss. The loco miso was ok. Our favorite was the ube pancakes which was so good we got it twice. It was surprisingly large and full of flavor. Service was generally friendly and ambience was beach front which you cannot beat.

Tropics Bar & Grill - Poke Bowl* - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One of the restaurants open late night off the beach front Waikiki strip connected to the Hilton hotels. We were staying at the Hale Koa and their restaurants were closed after 830pm so this was one that was open later. Some people late night come for just drinks by the beach, and there's sometimes live music too. We go there upon closing for dinner. My parents wanted coffee to drink, so they brewed a fresh batch for them. I asked what the most popular salad is and it's their Chicken Cobb Salad which was very hearty with ingredients and it lasted me 2 meals. My dad got the fresh catch of the day sandwich which came with fries. My mom got the vegetable chow fun which had too many fresh green onions on top of it, wouldn't recommend getting that one. Overall it's a nice area and has a decent amount of menu items and a little bit pricey. Service was quick and efficient since they were about to close. Hilton has a parking garage is you're out in this area. read more

Great service on Thanksgiving morning with Johnny T. We had to lox's of bagels, pancake pancakes with a side of banana, and half of papaya. The servings are big. My husband and I shared the lox's of bagels. The salmon were with thick slices as well as the toppings were more than sufficient. The papaya was very sweet. It came with lemon and strawberries. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. We ordered a side of banana. It came with whip whipped cream. And our waiter brought endless pot of coffee. The view is beautiful. Right on Waikiki Beach. They also give, kamaaina discounts with an ID read more

Delicious dinner experience at the Hilton Hawaiian Village "Tropics Bar & Grill"! Outdoor seating closed due to rain. 40 minute wait to be seated Friday night 6 PM Dec 19, 2025. Small menu, good food. Wonderful service by the gentleman named Sky. Restaurant was very loud indoors. Located just a few steps away from the Ali'i Tower. Appetizers took 20 minutes to come out after ordering. Entrees came 20 minutes after appetizers arrived. Spent 1 hour 10 minutes inside restaurant waiting for food and eating. Pupus Ordered * Half pound popcorn shrimp $22. Crispy and pairs well with chili sauce. * Poke nachos $28. Chicharrones with fish and lovely sauces. * Side of fries. Standard battered psoriasis fries. Entrees Ordered * North shore garlic shrimp $38. Yummy ginger rice. * Fresh island catch $42. * Slow kiawe smoked beef brisket $38. Brisket was tender. Creamy and thick mashed potatoes. BBQ sauce was too intense for my palate, would ask for it on the side next time. Mango coleslaw did not have mango. Drink Ordered * Tropical breeze $13. Non-alcoholic beverage. Piña colada vibes. Sweet and fruity, not sour. Great, smooth smoothie-like texture, no pulp or chew. read more

I don't understand why the reviews are so meh on Tropics. The food is solid, portions are generous and the service is wonderful. We ate here twice while staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village and really enjoyed both visits. The poke nachos on shrimp chips(!), coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp and brisket pappardelle were fantastic. Must do's are the poke nachos and brisket pappardelle. DO NOT SLEEP on these. Skip the roasted cauliflower (it was interesting but bland). I'm giving Tropics a solid 4, if not 4.5, and this is a New York 4. read more

Best lunch spot right on the beach! They are only closed for a brief time between breakfast and lunch and even if there is a wait list, it moves pretty quickly.

Water glasses were always attended to and the views were great! read more

Lunch for a short walk from the beach. We were a party of two, and got seated right away. I got the wings, and the wife got the Mai Mai tacos. It was wings only and she got fries. At least give fries with the wings as they are bar food. Service was fine, Nick our waiter was cordial, and provided some other places for dinner. The place was had pigeons walking around but they kept to themselves. Our order came out to be around $70 and they give military discount. Not a very wide selection if you don't like seafood or burgers. read more

I'm staying for a few nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and I'm so pleased I was able to have a lovely breakfast here this morning! I was served by Lisa, who did an amazing job recommending the Hawaiian Benedict. I typically don't eat eggs Benedict due to it being really rich but the pork was delicious and I loved the potatoes with it too! I was right next to the beach and got there relatively early so there wasn't a wait at all! I loved being able to eat outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with the delicious food. read more

I returned to this restaurant for lunch with Hubby as I had a delicious dinner previously, however their menu and vibe were disappointing this visit. We had to wait 20 mins at the bar for a table yet the restaurant was half empty. The menu has changed and is very bland and boring, the usual burgers, a few salads, deep fried everything. No green lip mussels which I enjoyed so much last visit. Hubby chose a burger n fries, and the fries were battered n crunchy but looked store bought. Burger filling but nothing special. My Ceasar salad was served on a tiny side plate so it was difficult to eat, a larger bowl would have been better, and it was drenched in dressing. The side of shrimp was on a kebab stick, tiny tail on shrimp which were soggy n tasted of bleach so obviously not fresh. Our waitress was great but she was covering too many tables and there were dirty tables with birds eating off the plates. This restaurant is understaffed and has lost its vibe. read more

Service and atmosphere were great! Server was amazing and very efficient! Food was good. We ordered the Ahi nachos and smoked chicken breast w/ baby potatoes. I really like my smoked chicken breast and the potatoes were good. I had to add S&P to them. Hubby said the ahi tuna was good but he wasn't a fan of the "shrimp chips" they looked and had the same texture as pork rinds. read more
