    THE BEST bread pudding. Seriously, go try it and thank me later. The mud pie is good, too, but we will be dreaming of that bread pudding. Super friendly server who made sure we were well taken care of when they were out of a few menu items (hey, it happens on an island in the Pacific!). The sizzling ahi platter is easily made a meal and the steaks are perfectly cooked. The Saddle Room is right next door, so don't be confused when you look up the menu and it's the same as Wrangler's.

    Great Decor!

    This was a fantastic restaurant we stumbled upon after a visit to Waimea Cyn. Such a cool Wild West appeal at a steakhouse in Kauai! The place was busy and a house full of locals! We were definitely in the right place! We sat at the long picnic table in the bar and had excellent service! The drinks were great and so were our dinners! There were 6 of us and everyone was very happy with their food! My NY steak was a bit tough for such a high end cut of meat but tasted really good! If you're looking for a steakhouse in the Waimea area? Highly recommend coming here!

    Calamari
    Ann N.

    Loved the food and the service! Steaks were grilled to the doneness of our liking and staff were authentic and polite. Prices are reasonable considering it's Kauai. I'm thinking we'll return once more before leaving. We ordered: calamari, peppered steak, another ribeye and the tempura plate. Yummy all around!

    This is such a cute restaurant. It's got that western feel vibe. They sell cowboy hats and other various western paraphernalia. We ordered Mai Tai's and Old Fashions. I'll attach a video of the Old Fashion presentation. The drinks were wonderful. We actually ordered another round after dinner so that we could stay and listen to the musician. He was amazing as well. Our party ordered shrimp scampi, steak and shrimp scampi, and the rib eye. All of the plates were wonderful. The meat was juicy and cooked to perfection. The shrimp had an amazing garlic flavor. We did not wait long for our food after ordering. The service was fantastic. Our waitress was on top of our every need. She constantly checked back with us to make sure we were not lacking a thing. This was an absolutely top notch experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to you.

    Place is located at the mouth of the canyon. Great after hike location with outdoor seating. Went there in the summer and winter. Summer is a little hot with flies in outdoor.. winter was perfect. They serve local grass fed beef so farm to table as you can get.. steak was awesome.. I left no fat scraps as the total steak was trimmed perfectly before cooking.

    This would be my 1st time eating at this establishment.So I was very excited when we were coming here for dinner!.We came on a Sunday so it wasn't that bz.I like the western theme of the place!Very Cool!!.After being seated we ordered our drinks n soon after we ordered appetizers.We got the Parmesan garlic chicken wings and fried Calamari.Both were perfectly cooked.Crunchy and full of flavor.Soon after we all placed our order.So my girlfriend had the 7oz Ribeye sizzling platter with side order of sautéed mushrooms,green beans,carrots and broccoli.My girlfriend's daughter got the 8oz Filet Mignon,She loved it but she couldn't finish n too the rest home.Her Boyfriend had the 14pz prime Rib.He no Problem's.Its his favorite when he comes here.As for myself I had the salmon Caesar salad.So good!!.Next time I'm definitely be ordering their steaks.We enjoyed our selfs and the service was awesome!.So when visiting the town of Waimea come here for good food n friendly staff..

    Chimoy martini with li hing mui rim
    Lorie G.

    Dinner in Waimea, Kaua'i.... I love coming to this restaurant when visiting the island of Kaua'i. This time, we had 6 of us on our table. Since my sister mentioned they make a fabulous chimoy martini, I needed to give it a try. She was absolutely spot on. I love the li hing mui rim making it sweet and salty. For dinner, I was hungry for a burger, and my niece suggested the Wrangler burger that came with bacon, cheese and mushrooms. For a little $ more, I ordered the garlic fries instead of regular. I did enjoy the burger. Even though the patty tasted like it needed more salt by itself, the other things on the burger balanced it out well. I tried rack of lamb leg from my husband's plate and it was very tender without any gamey taste. Our waitress, Shara, had us in stitches! She was so funny. The rest of the staff were also very friendly. We all left very satisfied with our meal. Definitely will come back here again.

    The side dish mixed veggies mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes

    Reservations are a must here as it gets crowded. I love to reserve the back porch as it's outside and covered and they do not have a ton of tables there. The steaks are delicious and definitely the best on Kauai. The mixed vegetables were fresh and properly cooked not mushy and had nice seasoning on it. The portions were good I did not leave hungry. Wines were basic here and the call drinks were good but basic. Prices point was very good for Kauai.

    Amazing, warm bread pudding
    Kristen G.

    Wow !!!! If I could give it more stars I would. First off, I missed my reservation by 45 minutes which was totally my fault, I got the times wrong. The girls were so sweet and it worked out that we ended up eating down by the bar, by the AC and we had the BEST time!!!! The service was superb, they made us feel like ohana. We absolutely LOVED it !!!!!!! Food was amazing, Wranglers is known for their lamb and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. My husband had the Elk and he really liked it. The bread pudding was to die for. We will definitely be back !!!!

    Mai Tai
    Robbin S.

    Omg!!! Best freshest filet ever!! Mai Tai was good too. Seafood tempura was yummy too. Staff friendly and great atmosphere.

    Bacon cheese burger 4/5 $14
    Noah B.

    The price was more than fair! $14 for a bacon cheeseburger with fries in 2024 is unheard of at a real restaurant. Damn good burger too. Asked for medium rare got a medium rare crispy bacon nice bun not over soggy. A second piece of bacon on there would have been nice, but otherwise otherwise good

    I found this place completely by accident after being invited to dinner by the manager's mother…read more Honestly, that's the kind of accident I hope keeps happening. They opened with beef tartare that ruined me for every other beef tartare I've ever had. The osso buco is legendary. Then came the double cheeseburger... and I need everyone to understand that I don't hand out compliments like ketchup packets. This is, without question, the best burger I've ever eaten. It's so good it makes you want a cigarette afterward--and I don't even smoke. I've come back many times just for that burger because nothing else I've tried on Hawaiʻi Island or Oʻahu comes close. Their tater tots have developed their own fan club, and the little bar with beer, wine, and cocktails makes it dangerously easy to linger. The staff is consistently warm and welcoming. After being away for six weeks because of a family emergency, one of my first stops after returning was this burger. It was still outstanding, but I did notice the beef patty seemed about a third to nearly half thinner than I remembered. At around $20, that's noticeable. I'm hoping it was just an off day because this place has earned enough goodwill for me to give it another shot. Don't overlook the butcher shop itself. The meat quality is miles beyond what you'll find in a grocery store. I bought their ground beef for a ragù alla Bolognese, and it was so spectacular that I went back specifically to buy more for homemade burgers. Bottom line: this is one of the hidden gems of the island. Come for the butcher shop, stay for the burger, and if you leave without wondering whether you should light an imaginary post-burger cigarette, we clearly ordered different meals.

Waimea Butcher Shop is a good place to try them, (it is also a restaurant)! You will be served with warm & friendly service. I found out that I enjoy the taste of fresh grass fed beef, while my family did not. They did not think the meat was fatty or tender enough. This is because grass fed cows are much leaner and don't have their feed come to them. Anyway, I enjoyed my dining experience here and if you're curious, you should definitely come and give it a try! If you're inclined and know how to cook a mean steak, and staying somewhere with a kitchen, grab your supplies here.

For entrees, we ordered the spicy lobster ravioli and their mushroom side curried macadamia nut fish (swordfish). Each bite was a little taste of fishy heaven for both dishes.
