Awesome food! Quaint location. Went here on a tip from my sis and bro-in-law. Also got some pointers from my fellow yelpers about what to order. Hubby had the Shemp burger; he said the guacamole was the definite clincher. I could tell. He scarfed it down in about 2 minutes flat! I tried the famous Mac-coconut shrimp plate. Dayam!!! I have never come across any shrimp that I loved more than these ones, which is really saying a lot since I don't even like shrimp!!! Weird! Anyway, they were accompanied by a pile of steamed white rice and a side salad. Even the salad was good! Dipping sauce for the shrimp reminded me of the sweet and sour sauce we filipinos use for our lumpias so of course, it went perfectly with the crispy, golden-fried shrimp. Nonetheless, we had 2 awesome plates of food. We'll definitely come back again whenever we hit up the North Shore on our future visits.

After my Yelp review, I was contacted by the folks at Kahuku Grill and they wanted to apologize for my meal. Props for the follow-up! I'll be sure to stop by again when I'm in the North Shore area (maybe in May).

My husband and I ate here on our vacation last week and it was so good that we went back twice before we flew home! It was the best hamburgers we have ever had!!! Their staff is also super friendly and even remembered us!

Coconut shrimp bring us back. At times slightly over cooked, but the flavors are wonderful. Nice side salad too. Service at 8pm was good and fast.

Edward T.

The shem burger and coconut shrimp were delicious. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. The side salad was really good and not your standard house salad.

Chris F.

Food was great!! The fish burger is my favorite - tastes like a double-double but with fresh fish. Get ready to be a little messy to eat the kalbi ribs, but the salad is light, tasy and refreshing. Food as a little on the salty side, but overall thumbs up.

What the hell is wrong with this place?? They dont have shrimp half the time you come here! FYI their special is freaking shrimp!! Came here twice and both times they were telling everyone they dont have shrimp just burgers. The burgers were flavorful and very good. The second time I ordered the chicken and fish plate which was also pretty good. Just don't come here expecting to get their famous coconut or garlic shrimp. The cashier was all over the place confused and it looked like her first day. Not good!

I'm not sure why the Kahuku Grill has a 5-star rating... My husband and I prefer eating at local places when vacationing, so we decided to check out the Kahuku Grill based on the wonderful reviews it had. We went on a Friday night and planned to each order a different shrimp dish because we read that it was "world famous." We were told that they were out of shrimp because they had been slammed. It was just after 7 PM. Any company claiming to have "world famous" anything should not run out of what they are allegedly famous for. We ordered - my husband a burger with grilled pineapple, and I the grilled fish, rice and salad. Forty-five minutes later we still did not have our food, but the group of 5 boys in front of us had finished eating and we had seen 2 - 3 tables served that had arrived and ordered after us. We were annoyed that it was taking so long because some of the cooks came out several times to chat with a table near us. At one point, there were three people with chef aprons on that were out chatting - WHILE WE WERE STILL WAITING FOR OUR FOOD!!! When we finally went to check on the food, we learned that the waitress had just brought our food out 30 seconds before, but was calling the wrong name. (When you order, you pay up front and give them your name. When your food is ready, they walk around with it calling your name ... this doesn't work when they write your name down incorrectly.) The fish was pretty good - highly salted. The salad was my favorite part - it had dried cranberries and walnuts with a papaya dressing (I don't like papaya, but the dressing was FABULOUS). The burger (which came without pineapple, which we did pay extra for), was average. The owner did personally apologize for the mix-up, which made me feel a little better. The dessert (chocolate chip coconut banana bread chocolate sundae) was VERY GOOD. We tried this place out again the next day for lunch and ordered one plate of coconut shrimp. Thirty-five minutes later we didn't have our food (again, others who ordered after us did), and there were only three other tables, two of which had their food and had arrived and ordered after us, so we came forward. Apparently when they called "Alicia" a woman whose name is "Lisa" took our food by accident (thought she heard her name). Coincidentally, she had ordered the same thing. This was not the restaurant's fault, unless you consider that their method of bringing food to you is not efficient. The coconut shrimp was very good and I loved the dipping sauce. I cannot say whether it is the best I have ever had, because I don't eat it often, but it was definitely high on the scale. The owner chatted for a few minutes with us and seemed to genuinely care about our opinions. We suggested that he use a number system instead of calling names. Bottom line: The food was good, but not amazing. The service was sub-par, and the amount of waiting time for meals was even more sub-par. I will say, however, that maybe this NYC-metro area girl is not used to "Island time" and was expecting more than she should.

We stayed at Turtle Bay and wanted to avoid the overpriced restaurants in the hotel and enjoy the reasonably priced local dining options. The cashier was patient and friendly. Food and environment were good. Note, they only take cash. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp, Fish Plate, Teriyaki Burger, and Fish Sandwich. All were very fresh. The plates come with rice and a fresh salad with a homemade vinaigrette while the sandwiches/burgers come with fries. The Coconut shrimp was very good and if you are in the mood for a sweet dinner, this is the one for you. The fish plates were salty, but the saltiness mixed good withe the sweet vinaigrette and was neutralized with the rice. Good thing that they had lots free water. Overall, we suggest that anyone who is looking for reasonable prices and delicious food that is not overflowing with tourists should try this restaurant.

Exceptional food!! The coconut and macadamia nut shrimp was awesome! Best shrimp on the island. The cheeseburgers were also incredible! As good as In-N-Out burgers from the mainland. Us New Mexicans truly enjoyed and will be returning!

Yummy food but far too long of a wait to place orders...apparently the kitchen stopped taking orders because of fries being backed up. Orders didn't come out together for our party, they lost the second ticket!? sad face because not even at capacity. And then there was the dead cockroach on floor next to our table inside.

This had to be one of the most unexpected surprises of our entire trip. We made a wrong turn on our way back from the north shore and happened to stumble upon this place, and I'm so glad we did. The burger was so juicy and flavorful, I almost went back for a second. If you're in the area, or planning on staying at Turtle Bay, put this place on your to do list. The only downside was the service. I waited at the window for over 5 minutes before someone happen to walk by and acknowledge me. Once they did though, everything else was excellent.

Debbie Chiou S.

when i got there, they had j/run out of shrimp and fish, so i ended up getting the cheeseburger with avocado, mushroom, and pineapple. it was stacked high and was all deliciousness. definitely satisfying after a long day of surfing and snorkeling. oh, also, they actually forgot my order, but the waitress was so good about apologizing and supplying fries and salad while i waited, that i almost felt bad... almost... that's also the reason for the 1-star being knocked off the full score.

The Coconut Shrimp at Kahuku Grill is the BEST thing I have eaten in a while. They are made with real coconut flakes, moist, and packed with flavor. I would eat here everyday if I could! Thanks Art and family.

We arrived around 6:30pm and they had already ran out of coconut shrimp. Their menu is outdated so they don't serve kalbi anymore. I ended up getting the garlic shrimp plate which was really tasty but the $13 price tag was still a bit much. It took over 20 mins to get our food.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the seafood combo of garlic shrimp and fish. Hot, tasty and served up in a reasonable amount of time. It also came with rice and green salad. Super friendly staff. Will visit again!

Awesome cowboy burger! One of the best I've ever had. Fries and fry sauce are really good as well. I'm not a seafood guy but two of the people I went with said it was the best coconut shrimp they've ever had.

Kristin C.

The burgers here.... Are unbelievable! Best burger i've ever had! Unfortunately its fried and not grilled but when you bite into it, it's crispy on the outside but still juicy inside! (my mouth is watering right now) I would come back for more. I tried the Paniolo burger and was kinda hesitant as to the pineapple with the burger (not a fan!) but the pineapple did not bother me at all. It actually complimented the burger.... And the fries !!!! Ooooohhh! I can eat a whole basket of them. Its potatoes cut in quarters, then sliced unevenly! There are some pieces that were thick and some were thin and crispy. Seasoned with salt and other spices and with a thousand island dressing as dipping sauce! I tried the mac nut coconut shrimp... Nah! Too much coconut and i can barely even find the shrimp! Too oily and sweet. The salad was good though. Will definitely come back for the burgers... Even drive all the way here to the other side of the island! It's worth the trip

Anela L.

I think they are new... We stopped by twice while on the north shore. I didn't like the fish burger... I forgot the name of the fish but it wasn't mahi. I did however love the homemade fries with dipping sauce and the coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp were delicious. You can sit in or outside and they had a surf movie going. The salad on the shrimp dish was delicious... walnuts, red cabbage and even craisans.... and real lettuce! It looks new. I will no longer go to the shrimp trucks and make this my new stop.

David E.

An incredible find! A little off the beaten track but worth the effort. Everyone in our party had a burger and fries. Maybe next time we'll try the garlic or coconut macadamia shrimp. Anyway, the burgers are enormous and delicious. My wife and I both had the cowboy burger combo. The fries are seasoned, salted and totally yummy. The burgers are taller than anyone's mouth and as good as a burger gets. You might have to stand in line a while to order and it is cash only but that's a small price to pay. Don't miss this one on your drive around Oahu.

Coconut shrimp are sooooo good. Just order them. A little pricey($12.00) for 6 shrimp, but very very yummy.

If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!! I was BLOWN AWAY by the best and most MASSIVE coconut shrimp I have ever seen/tasted! The fish they serve with it on the combo is so light and tasty it melts in your mouth. The salad is super as well, with optional grilled pineapple tidbits mixed in. Incredible value. Owner was very nice and super attentive. Waitress (Ashley) was also sweet, attentive & helpful! I took pictures of my food there and everyday wish I could go back there to eat. I tried to go the next night after the night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), but it ended at 9, right as the Kahuku Grill was closing at 9. I sure wish they stayed open till 10, to catch a dinner after a visit to the PCC. While visiting Hawaii, I would eat 3 meals a day at this place if I could. Sorry for rambling, but good food is important to me, and this food is very special! You can't regret going to Kahuku Grill. BEST EVER!!!!

I loved the coconut shrimp!!!!!! I tasted the garlic lovers shrimp and that was amazing too! It got a little loud as the night went on but it was great food. Over all it was a good place to eat and I would recommend it!

Awesome plates and true Hawaiian style! Best coco shrimp on North Shore. Great place to get full on good eats for good price. You can sit or take it with you. Outdoor seating and some inside tables too, but don't expect anything high-end. It's just great food at a good price and you'll be happy you ate here, I promise! Try the burger or the plates. I LOVED the spare ribs and the chicken.

Hard to write a review when by the time we arrived at 7:00 p.m. to grab dinner they were out of everything except the hamburger, including their purported special, coconut shrimp. This place is SURROUNDED by shrimp farms; how could it possibly be out of shrimp?

Cheryl B.

We live right down the road and about 2 months ago I went for my first time, since then we've been going back regularly. I usually order the homemade veggie burger w/ salad (Pupukea greens, walnuts, craisins, red cabbage, shredded carrots) and my husband orders the cheeseburger w/ fries. Of course I steal a few of his fries, he gets a ton of them and they're baked w/ herbs and seasonings and come w/ a yummy dipping sauce. Every time we recommend this place to our out of town guests, they come back w/ rave reviews on just about everything on the menu.

The perfect Hawaii casual grill. Phenomenal teriyaki chicken, great coconut shrimp, nice burgers, all served on paper plates with a smile. Feed a family of four for about $30. Can't be beat for a no frills meal.

Karen S.

Bypass the shrimp trucks...the food here is amazing!!! Try the coconut shrimp. Fresh, succulent shrimp with a superbly done light, crispy coconut breading. Not into shrimp? Opt for the fish plate. Again, fresh, local, perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned for a mouthwatering treat unlike any other fish plate you will enjoy on the island. Both the shrimp and fish plate are served with fresh, local green salad (and not just the green - they throw in shredded carrots, cranberries, shredded cabbage and crispy fried noodles drizzled with the perfect dressing) and rice just the way we locals like it. And if you're into burgers -- these are, broke da mouth, ONO! REAL meat. Fresh, locally grown beef and grilled to perfection. Burgers are accompanied by homemade (seriously???? Who takes the time to do this anymore?) french fries. Generous servings and everything is made to order. Served by friendly folks full of Aloha spirit. My favorite place to eat on Oahu. P.S. Save room for Peggy's homemade banana bread for dessert. After this meal, you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!!!

Robin W.

Don't miss this sweet gem of a grill, all locally grown food with awesome burgers & coconut shrimp, their specialty. Delicious and plentiful food, just add a Pupukea greens salad for just a $1. It's kind of hidden on the side of another business, but accessible from the front. Walk up to order in front & look for the Orange umbrellas. Quaint inside seating or sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. You will not be disappointed!! By the way, the servers were very nice and quick and the owner showed true Aloha spirit. Mahalo Kahuku Grill!

Great little Burger Joint up in the North Shore ... I'd probably give it 5 stars if the service was better. The two young ladies were not only working the order window but also delivering food to the tables in and outside and seemed a bit overwhelmed. By the time we were acknowledged she asked us "you know what want?!" without any initial greeting ...very dry. But the young man who was also working there was good and very attentive to our table after our food arrived. I had a bacon cheeseburger with the potato "chip" style fries and their dipping sauce which was pretty much a spicy 1000 island I think. The burger was VERY juicy and had great flavor and very fresh ingredients and a very fresh baked and soft bun.this made the burger for me. The fries were spiced with what I think could have been a creole seasoning and were also very good.Just simply a solid and classic great burger ....can't go wrong here.The coconut shrimp looked really good although I did not try them. This place is a long haul (maybe 45-60 mins drive without traffic)if you're down in Waikiki but well worth it as it is conveniently located near all the great Shrimp trucks like Giovanni's. Do yourself a favor and make the trip up there ! Mahalo !

Johnny Z.

Fries are great, they are cut fairly thick, almost leaving the realm of French fries and approaching the realm of seasoned potatoes. The burger was pretty good. Definitely the thinnest meat patty I have ever encountered, it was thinner than the tomato slice. Pretty good, but 3 star burger at best.
(3)
Cristy S.

Their shrimp is all good but the burger and fries quality has gone way down from when it first opened, probably in an attempt to cut costs. They should consider serving their icecream sundaes in something other than the hole-filled baskets with tissue paper over top because the icecream basically melts into/through the paper and is pretty hard to eat. The fries used to be awesome - thick and chunky, but now they're almost paper thin and so unhealthy and oily. If I were reviewing this place in 2011 it would be a 4-5 star but sadly from recent visits it just doesn't taste the same...

Woah woah woahhhhh! Where's the yummy in my tummy overload star? What a find! We happened to stumble on this place on our stop for shave ice. Lucky we did! Food is incredible. All four of us were satisfied with our burgers. The most tender, perfectly seasoned beef your taste buds will be thanking you for. I had the Teri burger. Myyyyyy oh myyyy. it is amazing. if you're up in the north shore area, this is a must!

This one of the few places with a Yelp deal, so I thought I'd give it a chance with my Auntie. The burgers and fries and banana bread were delicious. I tried the coconut shrimp that was decent and tasted good (perhaps not world famous though). Would definitely go here again when I visit.

I got the one of the biggest burgers in my life here! It was so big that it was almost the size of my head. That's saying something, because I got a big head. It all started because I was very hungry after a long day on the North Shore. I needed something scrumptious and this place was not too far away. I ordered the Twice As Much combo, grandpa ordered the Teriyaki Chicken plate, and grandma tried the Coconut Shrimp plate with extras. They sure weren't kidding when they call this burger "Twice As Much." It was just about twice as much as most burgers that are out there. It features two two-third pound patties, two slices of cheese, lots of lettuce and tomato, Thousand Island dressing on a sesame seed bun, and seasoned potato wedges with dipping sauce. The Teriyaki Chicken Plate was served with rice and a bed of baby greens with a grilled pineapple slice. This looked really good, but I did not try any because I try to stay away from charred food. Grandpa said it was very delicious. The Coconut Shrimp plate came with coconut battered shrimp, rice, a bed of greens and some extras. Grandma opted for avocado and bacon strips to accompany her meal. She enjoyed her food as well. Everything was perfect except for the flies flying around in the outdoor seating area, and order area. I had to keep guarding my food while I ate by waving my hand around to keep them away. I mentioned this to the cashier that worked here and he said that, "the flies are out there. They're not in here." He seemed to be right as I did not see any flies behind him. I guess this is to be expected and probably unavoidable when you sit outdoors. Altogether, this was a good place to get food. Very good food and a different ambiance than you may be used to. This place was a pleasant surprise in a country neighborhood.

We ate at several shrimp shacks/trucks, but Kahuku was by far the best. The coconut macadamia shrimp were divine. They serve it with a small green salad that is topped with an amazing house dressing and rice. Skip the trucks, and come here. They offer options for non-seafood eaters too.

Food is great-had burgers, fries, coconut shrimp. Minus one star for the outside seating. If you like a cat and rooster walking around while you're eating then go for it. It was unappetizing for us so we took out. But the food was yummy & service was good.

Gina YeeJi S.

Everything else is just ok, but they're burgers are good! Although I do feel like it's a hit and miss sometimes. Maybe it just depends on who's working that day but I've had their fries both ways: undercooked to a crunch or overcooked to a shriveled prune texture. and sometimes it's perfectly good. But I still go time and time again because it's nearby and a good bite to eat. Good to come if you're in the area, not necessary to be the reason to come to north shore.

Anyone that has been to Chicago, or any larger city on the mainland for that matter, knows that we mainlanders like to brag about our burgers. Whether it's Chicago or NYC, Seattle or Boston, everyone claims to have "the best burger." So how is it that myself, a Chicago burger lover who has had more than my fair share, came to believe I found one of the best damn burgers in the world at a shack behind a gas station? Sit back for the tale of Kahuku Grill. Our journey to the North Shore began in Chicago at 4am. 4am. After a flight to Dallas and then to Honolulu, and then a car ride to Turtle Bay, we found ourselves beyond hungry - a hunger that only a burger and fries can quelch. Enter a quick Yelp-ing and then finding Kahuku Grill. Onward we went! It is, I should point to anyone getting there via smartphone, not easy to find. Our directions had us doing a U-Turn. You simply have to turn in at the gas station and it's behind there. We arrived and ordered from a bunch of college kids. Nice. I like supporting college eduactions. I went with a burger featuring cheddar, guacamole, and bacon. Whoa. It. Was. Amazing. Their fries are actually diced red potatoes perfectly salted. They really were the perfect balance together. My fiance's burger featuring grilled onions was equally amazing. We ended up going back again it was so damn good. If you find yourself on the North Shore and in need of an amazing burger, look no further. Top 3 burger for me. And that's a big deal.

Went here several weeks ago while sightseeing with the family and decided to come here after reading the review from Yelp. We order a bleu cheese bacon burger, a twice as much burger and a cheeseburger. The good: The patties were juicy and tasty. The bacon was cooked properly. The french fries was good and season properly. The bad: Should have toasted or grilled the bun. The bun broke apart after taking only one bite from the burger. Way too much sauce on the burger. It was an overall OK experience.

I cannot fathom how this place has a five star rating. I understand that people move in Hawaii time on this island, but this restaurant takes it to another level...to the point that they are just plain rude. Staffed by a bunch of young way too laid back workers...we waited in line for about 30 minutes...finally my wife got to the front of the line, and the cashier disappeared for 20 minutes...to cook the burgers? My wife couldn't even order her food and sit down. People were waiting at the tables for their food for a while even after they ordered. Many customers were disgruntled about missed orders...the bathroom was locked for 40 minutes, and one mom with two young toddlers was distraught, waiting for the bathroom and they were already waiting 40 minutes for their food. The worker told her to keep waiting for the bathroom door to open, "there's probably someone in there." For forty minutes?? Obviously the lock was broken! I only saw one guy working hard...he tried to cheer people up with patronizing platitudes like "stay awesome!" A bunch of workers were in the supply room next door basically laughing and screwing around. This place is terrible. Only stupid tourists who want to brag about a great "hole in the wall" would go to a place like this. I was so disgusted that even though we were in the front of the line, we ditched out. Drove 5 minutes down the road to Pizza Hut and we were back at the hotel before the next people even got their food. The food could not possibly be good enough to compensate for such terrible service. Worst experience of the trip so far.

Although I think that the girls working there were nice, and the burger was good, I can't give this place more than a A-ok rating. I already had high expectations as I ordered my burger and potatoes here. But when the plate came out with soft, over salted potatoes I was bummed. I thought they would be crispy and delicious but no. The burger was okay, but not the best I've had. I wanted this first visit to be so much better than it ended up being. This does however not mean that I'm not willing to try it again, I am. Because I want to see what the real fuzz was about and if maybe one day they will live up to my expectations. Also, $12 for a burger? I understand it was a specialty burger with lots of ingredients but really? Oh well. (013/365)

Great shrimp! It's been deveined (if you know what I mean...) and tastes sweet. Locally grown and never frozen. As for the service you must remember that this is a small place behind a gas station manned by ?three? people. Overall a great place to go to after visiting North Shore.

KILLER BURGERS!!! This was a last minute decision on our trip up the North Shore, and it was a great one. Each of us had one of their different burgers, each one was equally spectacular. It's a walk up window for giving your order, and the girl at the window might have been the friendliest person we met on the island. (Not all locals are too excited to see us.) This may have been my favorite food on the trip.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. My husband had the shems big bad bacon guacamole burger. I though I was going to need to get him a room so he could be alone with his burger! He said it was the best burger he has ever had. Even better than the double, double from in-n-out. We shared some of their signature coconut macadamia nut shrimp which was amazing. The breading is unique, crunchy and delicious. It is served with a chili sauce that is a great compliment to the shrimp. I had the pineapple cheeseburger. The beef patty was seasoned to perfection. If you are on the north shore you MUST eat here. If you don't, you will be sorry. I have always loved Hawaii and the North Shore but now I have one more reason to love it!!

I came upon this place out of desperation. As a guest at Turtle Bay Resort, I soon came to the realization that there ain't JACK SHIT open on the North Shore past 8:00. Well...except for Kahuku Grill! My friend ordered a burger and I a plate with shrimp and fish. (Famished at the time, I failed to note the exact names of our dinners that night!) In addition to the rice, my plate came with a side salad that was more Californian than Island-y. If I recall correctly, the dressing was sweet, and the salad a nice mix with cranberries. Service was fast and friendly too! Not much more you can ask for. If you're in the North Shore and are all shrimp-trucked out this is definitely the place to go!

Kahuku Grill has been a great addition to the north east side of Oahu. They offer burgers, shrimp & fish plates, salad, and a banana bread dessert on their menu. My personal preference would have to be the burgers and fries. You can't go wrong there. They have an array of different burger options to satisfy the taste of any customer. Their fries are fresh and different. They are more like seasoned potato wedges. Plus, fries come with their sauce, which is pretty tasty. My only complaints are that sometimes the lines are way too long and the food can take a long time to get.

The hubby and I were staying at Turtle Bay and this spot was recommended to us by our Segway tour guide from the resort, Tyler. I had Shem's Big Bad Bacon Guacamole Burger and he had the "World Famous" Coconut Macadamia Shrimp. The burger was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and of course bacon makes everything taste better :) It was HUGE so we split it - we were both happy with this choice. The burger came with these thick cut potato slices, nothing special. I would have rather had crispy fries instead. The "World Famous" shrimp did not taste world famous at all. At first site, the shrimp looked plump, but don't let that fool you. It was all breading. The first few bites were ok, but I started peeling the coconut breading off because it was too much... doing that only revealed the true size of the shrimp, which was really small. If we came back here, we probably wouldn't order the coconut shrimp again.

Delicious food and some of the nicest people you can meet! My husband and wanted to get some good shrimp while we were on the island of O'ahu. We scored big!! Alyssa took care of us and she was helpful, friendly and very sweet! She made sure we understood our options, what could be added to our salad, and more. She came out to make sure our table was clean, and even though we thought it would do, she did not and cleaned it off better. She came back out to make sure everything was tasting good. It wasn't good....it was AMAZING!! Coconut shrimp cooked just right, my rice was seasoned perfectly, and my husband's home fries were cooked to perfection! He had a combo plate with the coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp. He loved them both. We were stuffed but were not able to resist sharing a warm piece of their homemade chocolate chip banana bread!! A MUST WHEN YOU VISIT!!! And you REALLY should make a point to stop here! You will not be sorry!!

I'd give six stars if it were and option. Seriously THE BEST burgers I've ever eaten. Great veggie sandwich option, coconut shrimp was awesome too! Really and truly the best stop along the road place on the island!!!

OMG! This place really is as good as it gets!!!! Its true what they say..The Macadamia crusted shrimp is all that it promises to be..The Burgers are awesome! The food is fresh, served in large portions and you will not leave hungry. This place is literally a no frills kind of a place, but you will not regret it. Stop by and experience the Grill!

Great little place! I've tried their shrimp platters and fish, all of it quite tasty. Dining primarily occurs outdoors, the indoor dining is a much smaller place, so be prepared to enjoy your food in the local weather. The people working there were super friendly and enjoyable to interact with. The prices are as you'd expect of Hawaiian food, not cheap but not outrageous either (I think our plates were about $13 each). The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars? Their shrimp, although very delicious, was not as good as some of the locally grown shrimp cooked out of the shacks/trucks down the street. Aside from that, everything else about this place is wonderful!

Great burgers and variety of choices on the menu. I normally get the "Seek Burger" (pesto). Like its sister location, Seven Brothers in Laie, they do a great job. Great food, courteous, clean! Mahalo!

Stopped here for an early dinner on a Saturday. Didn't have to wait in line and food was ready in about 10 minutes. I got the (something) Iron Burger which is a Teri burger with avocado and I added on grilled pineapple. This was AMAZING! Burger was so big I could hardly fit my mouth around it... Totally big enough to split it with someone. Burger was very juicy and I would definitely come here again!!

I wasn't incredibly impressed with this little hole in the wall burger place, but I wasn't disappointed either. Here are my tips for those who come here hungry during a North Shore visit. 1. This isn't a "fast" food place, so be prepared to wait more than 10 minutes for your food. Don't come here in a super rush. 2. The burgers are better than the macadamia nut/coconut friend shrimp. The locals were ordering the burgers, that's what I should have ordered too. The coconut shrimp was "too fried" for me. I will tell you that you can definitely taste the nut and coconut, but I couldn't really taste any shrimp. 3. They order off of an iPad. That's cool. Be prepared to sign for your credit card on an iPad! 4. You can replace the fries that come with your burger with salad or a different side for no extra cost. Remember: ORDER THE BURGERS! I had a spicy one called fire and something, and it was delicious!

I got an email for my horrible review of of Kahuku Grill. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm a snob and may not have been in a good mood writing the review but I think that you should hear my whining voice just in case you and I are like-minded. I understand the cost of doing business in Hawaii is high and my opinion of this place is in the minority so just take it for what it is worth. The owner(s) were very respectful in their email and I applaud them for taking the time to answer my concerns. I wish you well!

WOW !! We have never stopped by here, but on a suggestion of a friend, we stopped in today. All I can say is WOW. We've always eaten at Jameson's when on the north shore. But we are now saying goodbye to them. The service at the Kahuku Grill was the friendliest we ever experienced. And the food ?? PERFECT. Fresh fish, shrimp, fries and salad with papaya dressing. All FRESH and cooked when you order it. Portion sizes huge. And the best priced meal we've had in years. Can't wait to go back. The fresh fish was Ono. !!

There is no reason I should ever eat another cheese burger anywhere else in the universe than at Kahuku Grill. I got their basic cheese burger off the menu and added sauteed mushrooms. Their fries are quartered slices of potatoes, skin on, seasoned and cooked perfectly. I was encouraged to get the one dollar salad and don't regret it in the least. First bite, the burger gushed meat juices that dribbled down my wrist. The beef is local and patties are formed by hand and the young lady who cooked my burger seemed very pleased that I enjoyed it so much. I got the impression that she took pride in the food she is serving. My husband got the fish dish and enjoyed it thoroughly. I kid you not-after eating this burger at Kahuku, I refused to eat another burger anywhere else the entire time we were on Oahu.

Anyone driving along Oahu's North Shore has plenty of options for eating shrimp. Guidebooks debate the relative merits of all the different shrimp trucks that sit along the highway. After stopping at a couple of the trucks and checking out their menus, we ended up a Kahuku Grill, a small little sit down restaurant in Kahuku. Were we ever glad we did! The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and--most important--the food was fantastic. More specifically, Kahuku Grill's coconut-macadamia nut shrimp was the best coconut shrimp we'd ever had. We all agreed. It was delicious. The rest of the meal was equally good. Even the rice here was excellent. The only negative worth mentioning occurred at one of the outdoor tables farthest from restaurant. As we waited for our food to be prepared, we occasionally detected the faint smell of rotting garbage wafting through the air. Not cool. After the second time, we changed tables and this was no longer an issue. (Even so, Kahuku Grill, you would do well to resolve this issue.) All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable meals we experienced during our time on the islands and definitely one of the best values. I highly recommend Kahuku Grill to anyone out exploring Oahu's North Shore.

Great great great food, and friendly service! Their burgers are great, and the Paniolo burger is just out of this world. It comes with cheese, onion ring, grilled pineapple and two sweet and savory sauces! Their fresh cut skin on potatoes are fried amazingness. They also make really great shrimp. I don't know what it is about shrimp on this island, but, it's just marvelous. Its sweet, and has a soft fleshy texture, I've never had anything like it before. We had the garlic shrimp, which was really wonderful. However, the house specialty is their coconut macadamia nut shrimp. Whic is true to Hawaiian sugared, battered & fried tradition, but honestly with the shrimp being so fresh and wonderful, what's the point in masking it with sugar and batter???

Omar R.

The food was good, not great but a good value for price. I thought my fish had a bit too much garlic but it still satisfied me. The shrimp and salad were good as well. The service is good but the waitress forgot my wife's water and its probably a good thing because it's from the tap according to the register girl. No iced tea, your only options are coke products. Totally kick back surfer style place. Wish I had room for dessert but the combo filled me up.

Odd experience here, The food was pretty darn good. My boyfriend got a burger, I got coconut shrimp and fish combo. I personally thought his fries/potatoes were REALLY good, but I could see how some people that only like traditional fries might disagree. I also thought the coconut shrimp was pretty damn amazing and my boyfriend agreed. He liked his burger and I thought the fish was pretty good but it was a little over seasoned (too salty for my taste). The part that was odd to me... after we ordered there were very few customers around so the entire group working there propped up at the table next to me and my boyfriend while we were eating.... fine with me I guess. But then, like 5 of the kids started harassing one girl because she wasn't mormon, it was the oddest thing. They all started talking about how the Mormon faith is the only way and that she was crazy for not believing that Joseph Smith was a prophet and so on. At first my boyfriend and I shrugged it off but after awhile it became a very very uncomfortable situation for the one girl and for us sitting there having to listen to it while we ate. It was then that my boyfriend pointed out that there was a picture framed of the Governor of Utah right by the ordering window. I honestly don't know what the deal was but it was a very uncomfortable situation, I mean go ahead and have your beliefs but don't preach at a shrimp shack unless you blatantly advertise that you will get a side of Mormon with your combo.

I've been eating here for the last year. It is truly the best burger on Earth, besides Argentinian burgers. Which is saying a lot. (Update: The best burger on Earth beats this by a centimeter and is located at Cubby's in Provo, Utah. Eat there, too!!) The Salad is really good. Coconut Macadamia Shrimp is delicious. but burger wise, I don't think you can go wrong. They're all sooo delicious, but if you get a specialty burger, your price almost doubles.. plain old burger is really really good. but if you have the extra cash (which the majority of local customers, the BYU students don't have..) definetely go for a deluxe one. the BLUE BURGER IS THE BEST! The mix of the blue cheese and bar-b-q sauce and everything is so perfect. there is no improving it. Paniolo is soooo good as well. YET, it was so tall I couldn't fit it in my mouth. it was so messy. THE FRIES CAN'T BE TOPPED!!!! freshly made, delicious sauce, no other words. All in all, it is all delicious. If you go on a date, order 1 burger combo to share, a drink (isn't included in combo...) and the DESSERT! It will be the perfect size. their most famous dessert is their chocolate chip coconut banana bread with ice cream. Just try it. Get fat. This time, it is worth it. It's just too delicious and perfect to describe. Eat here, no matter what. Order in on the phone if you know what you want. That will save you a 30 minute in line wait and 30 minute wait for your food. that part is kind of ridiculous. The only bad part is they close at 9. Boo.

My husband is on business in Hawaii and after our initial visit there 2 years ago he couldn't wait to go back. Unfortunately, he was not quite as impressed. He said it must be under new management as it was not nearly as good as it was before. So sad...is it just outstanding in our memories? I will try it again when I get back so I can see if it was real or a fluke. He said it was just OK.

We settled on this place since the shrimp trucks were closed due to heavy rain. I'm sure glad we "settled" because this place was awesome! You usually go to the front, which is outside, to order but since it was pouring the girl at the counter had us come inside to place our orders. She was very nice and friendly from the moment we arrived. There is limited seating but man was the inside amazing! The walls had some beautiful artwork and there were surfboards for sale. It was just a very laid-back, chill atmosphere. I ordered the big bad burger and my girlfriend ordered the garlic shrimp plate. My burger was HUGE! And it was DELISH! It was the best darn burger on the island, no joke. The lady who brought it out and cleaned up the tables was extremely friendly as well. Basically the whole staff was awesome. I really enjoyed my experience at Kahuku Grill and next time I'm on Oahu I'll definitely make my way back!

Morgan K.

Finger lickin' good! Tried a little bit of everything: the coconut macadamia nut shrimp, garlic shrimp, cheese burger and the fries. Everything was DELICIOUS!! You can't go wrong with whatever you get, but my favorite was the coconut shrimp. Very friendly staff as well!

Kahuku grill is a place I frequented quite often more than a few years back. I joined the military, moved away and now I'm back six years later and I wanted some shrimp from the Kahuku grill. When I came here as a kid they had sweet and spicy shrimp, garlic shrimp and coconut shrimp. Unfortunately the sweet and spicy shrimp were no longer on the menu so I had to get the garlic shrimp. While they may not have been what I wanted they were alright. Unfortunately a couple of my shrimp hadn't been properly cleaned and the vein was still in them...yuck. Other than that though they were okay. Then my girlfriend had the cheeseburger combo. While she stated that her burger was delicious, unfortunately the weird things they call fries were pretty gross. They were like huge chunks of potatoes semi-fried so they were soggy, warm almost burnt tasting chunks of potato. Blah. Then there was a nail sticking out of another customers chair that they sat on which they of course brought to the attention of the staff. The staff just replied "oh, oops, sorry" and didn't even ask if the person who sat on it was OK. Fail. Then tie in the fact there was no AC, flies buzzing around you and your food, and the windows in the place were busted and boarded up the place is...well...not worth your money. Sorry Kahuku grill. You aren't what you used to be and that makes me sad, but I wont give you more stars based off my nostalgia for what you used to be.

One of the best burgers I had on the island! My wife and went there at least 3 times during our 8 day honeymoon. We loved it there! The burgers were amazing and the fries/potatoes incredible! I tried several burgers on the island in search for the best one, and the Cowboy came very close!!!

Our favorite restaurant! Best burgers on the island! My husband LOVES the deep blue burger. I usually get the fish salad. It is one of my favorite meals.

Great food, awesome staff, and fun atmosphere!

we randomly stumbled across this place and i'm glad we did! what an amazing find! they carried "world famous coconut macadamia shrimp" and of course we had to give it a try. AMAZING. even the rice that came with it was buttery and garlicy, with a hint of dill. their cowboy burger was soooooo good too... and so hawaiian with that juicy ring of pineapple in it. so so soooooooooo good! perfect patio seating too. if i lived in hawaii, i would definitely come back here all the time.

Woohoo! is right! THE BEST DAMN COCONUT SHRIMP ON THE PLANET!!! Okay, may be not, but until I find it, this gets the crown! Crisp, butterflied, fresh shrimp coated in the best tempura this side of Japan with REAL coconut flakes you can see, fried to perfection. The dipping sauce is perfect. It in no way dampens the flavor of the shrimp. Perfect pairing. The Bruce Irons burger is phenomenal! That is one mean burger with real large chunks of avocado and plenty of teri flavor. This burger has to be eaten to fully appreciate. This is a great "hole in the wall" that you don't want to pass up. The foods good, people are cool, and you can't beat the prices.

Mouth watering juicy burgers. They look ordinary but taste extraordinary. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp are perfectly sweet. Teriyaki chicken is chard all around the edges and tender and flavorful all around. Unlike other places where they give you a BLAND side salad, this side salad is a duo of quality and flavor. My husband & I order the ter' chicken & shrimp but again the burgers were so yummy we ended picking off our kids plates. We also love there fries. They were chunking, rustic and well seasoned. The crew @the Kahuku Grill are all very hospitable. We will be back again:D

simon h.

A hidden gem. If you're tired of the shrimp trucks and need another food option, this is the place to go. Fries were excellent. Love the huge cut is the potato. Since everything is made to order, the texture of the shelled of the grilled shrimp was nice and crunchy enough to eat and not have to peel off and get your fingers dirty. Not as garlicky as the Giovannis. Love the locally grown greens. Very fresh. The burgers are handmade and not frozen. VERY juicy and good flavor. this was just a random pick and i am glad it turned out to be such a gem because the family was starving and getting reeeally mean! but we all left sooooooo satisfied! GREAT PLACE INDEED!!!

Alfred S.

I came here over the Labor day weekend to try the Cocunut shrimp. The food was so good I came back the very next weekend. With the sea of Shrimp Plate Lunch stops on the North Shore, this place gives me a new reason to visit the North Shore again. We tried their famous Coconut Macnut shrimp plate and the fish/teri chicken combo. Both plates were really good. Not many places make coconut shrimp, but this is definitely the better than Macky's. The only issue was the rice was slightly under cooked. The following week we had the daily special, Shem burger-Guacamole, bacon, cheese burger with all the fixins. The burger was fantastic. The combo comes with homemade fries with homemade special dipping sauce and a drink. The prices are very reasonable for the generous portions. Service is really good. The staff was wonderful and friendly. Can't wait to go back.

We found this place through Yelp...and all the reviews were spot-on in terms of tastiness! We went with the chzburger and Fish Sammy. Both were amazing, but surprisingly not too heavy for that type of meal. Great for the price, and the yum factor was way up there! My only constructive feedback comment is that the tables outside were sticky and seemed a little dirty...they ARE outside, but could be spruced up a little so that they feel cleaner.

Laura S.

WOW!! This is all I can say of this place. A local hole in the wall type of establishment, but some of the most amazing food! We drove up to the north shore from Honolulu and stopped to eat here. TOTALLY worth it. Don't expect fancy, but do expect excellent. I had the coconut shrimp and the garlic shrimp. Comes with a locally grown salad and amazing rice. My sister had the Shem's burger and it too was amazing! The home fries are just as delightful. Put this place on your list of things to do while in Oahu.

Grimm R.

I live 2 minutes driving, and 6-7 minutes walking distance from here. Let me tell you something boys-and-girls. It's good food, hands down. In a sea of shrimp trucks and one overly-abused L&L, Kahuku Grill is a godsend! It's gone through a ton of changes and owners through out the years, and once-upon-a-time in the 90's, was known as Country Kitchen. Currently, it's really dayummm good! I would advise those that have eaten here years ago, to come back and try it again, you'll taste the difference. Overall, the menu is pretty good, with some local style food, but the burgers are the real cream-of-the-crop. My number 1 recommendation to anyone, is the Twice as much Burger combo! GET it! Twice As Much combo is a juggernaut of a burger, made for hungry cannibals like me, and it get's the job done. The portions to taste ratio is superb, and tastes really good while managing to fill you up at the same time! A lot of the food is fresh here, which can be a double edged sword. Why? Well... Depending on how busy and the time of the day, your orders here can take A LONG TIME!!! I'm talking 30-50 minutes if you're really unlucky. Busiest times are late afternoons and evenings (*derp derp derp*). Watch out for wait times and long lines. My advice? CALL-IT-IN! Call in your order ahead of time. Like... WAY ahead of time, around 20 minutes ahead. Infact, give yourself an extra 5 minutes because whenever I call, it's like they either have a def guy waiting to pick up your call, or they have one 4-armed goro, who's single-handedly taking orders, killing cows, and cooking burgers; slaving away in the kitchen. In other words... Keep calling til someone picks up. I know, the last paragraph sounds like a pain, but honestly the wait for the food is worth it, just be smart about when you go, and call in for take-outs if you can and beware of constant new hires of clutsy slow BYU Hawaii college students that shuffle in and out to work there, BLAH!!! To sum things up: - recomendation: Twice as much combo - Wait times for food vary and can be pretty high (30-50 minutes if you're unlucky) - busiest times: 4:00-7:30 PM - Really good food! I would have taken a star or 2 off from waiting times and some of the BYU college workers, and constantly having to call for anyone to pick up and take down my take-out order, but... The food is GOOD! Now you know... and knowing is half the battle...

Absolutely amazing. The burgers are excellent with an island twist, and the macadamia coconut shrimp is one of my favorite foods anywhere in the world. This is a can't miss north shore eatery.

I literally just walked back to work from this place, and let me tell you, I was about ready to come back here and demote Kahuku Grill after I waited over 45 minutes for my food...wait...what? You wait forever and still give a 5 star review?! Heck yes, I do, because stuff happens, sometimes customers have to wait, but it's all what you do about the wait that can turn that frown upside down! Apparently the fryer of the famous coconut shrimp was on overload...maybe I just missed a stop by a tour bus or something, but anyway...burnt oil = not so ono shrimp, right? Thus, to fix the fritzed fryer required reheating new oil resulting in a pretty long wait. We all know I suffer from low blood sugar induced rage and I was sitting there getting more and more irritated until...I'm not sure if it was the managers or the owners approached me and asked me what I ordered, then went to check on it. He came back to tell me what had happened and asked if there was anything he could do while I waited for the order. I said no, it was ok, and I genuinely did appreciate the explanation and an admission of the restaurant being in the wrong. That's more rare than my mother-in-law admitting a wrongdoing!! When my food finally did come out, they comped my lunch! How awesome is that! It's great to see customer service is still really important to some businesses! Don't worry Kahuku Grill...as bad as it is for my health...I'll still be back every time I'm working out here!

I got the twice as much combo... it was a huge burger with sliced fresh potatos. Pretty damn good! My wife got the CoCo shrimp, came with a salad with fried noodle, cranberry and walnut toppings, also amazing. Don't miss it!!! Cash only kinda a bummer but there's a bank in the lot for ATM needs.

You can get a burger a lot of places, but the one I had here was truly epic. My wife liked her fish sandwich too. We ended up going back a couple of days later to try other stuff. It was all good. The food is made to order so it can take some time. Cash only.

This is hands down, the best burger on the island. The patties are fresh, and the burgers are HUGE. I had the deep blue burger the first time around. If you like bleu cheese, you'll probably like this one. But the bleu cheese is on the strong side, so be ready! My second time around I got the cowboy burger, and it's definitely my favorite so far. Big crispy onion rings, pineapple, and BBQ sauce. So good! Also, they have an interesting take on fries. Definitely unique. They are small potato wedges, seasoned with chunky sea salt. They also have a special "fry sauce" that anyone who grew up in Utah will instantly recognize. But even with that, they've added a garnish to it to make it more fancy. These guys have really gone above and beyond to create a unique and absolutely delicious burger joint.. Which is sorely needed out here in the "country" close to the north shore. My go to burger out here used to be Teds Bakery, just up the road. I stopped by to see how their burgers compare now that I've been spoiled by Kahuku Grill. They don't even come close! Their patties are pre-made cookie cutter types you find at the grocery store, nothing like the big, juicy hand shapes patties you'll find at Kahuku Grill. Great job guys!

Our first visit for dinner the meals were so fantastic that we returned two more times during our brief stay. Their garlic shrimp (like the shrimp trucks next door) was delicious, as was the coconut shrimp. I had grilled fish two times and the first time it was probably the best fish I ever ate, the next time just a notch below (probably a different chef that day). Cheeseburger was the best ever, according to my sister. And the "two-scoop" rice was very good -- not plain like every place else -- had lots of flavor and we actually ate most of it! The prices were good too -- cheeseburger under $5 and the dinner plates were $10-13. And you can bring in beer or wine, so we brought in a bottle of wine for our two dinner meals. Excellent! One day I just had the Acai bowl for dessert as my lunch (don't tell Mom) . . . it has Acai berry sherbert (so rich, almost like chocolate ice cream) with granola, fresh coconut, macadamia nuts and honey drizzled over the top -- what's not to like? Big enough for four as a dessert after the meal. You can eat inside or outside, depending on the rain!

A MUST Stop on your drive up the North Coast of Oahu on Kamehameha Hwy! We loved the food, the service, the family owners and the shave ice next door. We will be back on our next trip to the island!

My friend insisted that we go to the Kahuku Grill for Coconut Shrimp lunch today, since I had an appointment in Hauula. She didn''t seem able to shut up about how great the shrimp was, best she has ever had, been on island for 25 years now.......... O*M*G is all I can say. We ordered and got a cup of water to wait....a few short minutes later this delicious smelling food was delivered. It is served on your standard disposable plate mounded to the breaking point with rice that is spiced just a tad on the top, fresh designer lettuce with a bit of shredded carrot and purple cabbage, just a couple of dried cranberries and a very light dressing. Then they PILE 5 HUGE coconut shrimp on top. We couldn't shut up during the entire time we were there...it was amazing. You can taste the shrimp and the coconut, sweet and fresh and hot and perfect. The owner and his son both stopped by to thank us for coming and to ask if we were happy- we gave them the fist bump with the extra pow at the end- fabulous!!!! You can eat outside or inside, but bring cash, they don't do plastic. I hear the burgers are gigantic, I will take hubby and then let you know....

Delicious, fresh, inexpensive food and a super friendly staff!! You can bring your dog to eat with you at their picnic benches too. What more can you ask for?

Friendly workers, obviously a popular place, but definitely not for me. I thought the food was pretty bad and a little overpriced even if it had been as good as everyone kept telling me it was. Three stars for the atmosphere, minus two for the burger that was so juicy I could have squeezed the fat out like water from a sponge. Yuck.

This place is seriously so great. I love the food there! I always get different kinds of burgers and they're delicious. Sometimes they take awhile, but that's what you have to kind of expect from this type of restaurant. It's also definitely worth the wait.

Great place to eat! The people were friendly, the food is incredible and the establishment was very clean. Aside from an unusually ling line, which I didnt mind being in since the food smelled great, I have no complaints.

the food year was good. I wasn't blown away. I got butter fish. The place was a little cramped. They had a live band that night. It was cute, fun and decent food. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop in. But if you are in the area it is worth a stop.

I was sitting in line for 30 minutes to order and then it took 30 minutes to receive our food. I guess I should be upset, shouldn't I? But the coconut macadamia shrimp was so GOOOOOOOOOD. That incredibly tasty treat quickly made my bitterness of the long wait time melt away.

Damn good... Far exceed my expectations of a shack! Only place open after 7 PM it should be the only place open PERIOD! Had the garlic shrimp with the grill fish amazing. And my girlfriend had the coconut shrimp, and honestly it was a tie. Must have if your staying at Turtle Bay

Great grilled fish on rice with salad - i could eat it every day. The fries that came with the burgers - amazing. My friends loved the coconut shrimp. The burgers were good too. Nice friendly folks. Service was good and timely. They had an outdoor seating and an inside area too which was where we ate to escape the heat. What a great addition to a wonderful neighborhood.

Richard A.

Burgers are good but pricey. Service is SLOOOOOWWWW. Expect to wait 30-45 min if there is no line and at least an hour if there is a line. Restrooms look like a crime scene. Soda is watered down. Staff is friendly but they will screw up your order. Mac nut shrimp is 90% batter and 10% shrimp. Fries are very greasy and LOTS of pepper not the best I've had.

I love Kahuku Grill! :) ... it has a very relaxed atmosphere with surfing videos on for entertainment which I love to watch. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious! :) I love the murals on the walls. Family owned & run businesses are some of the best! :) Thanks Kahuku Grill for a great meal every time! :)

Richard G.

Grabbed an early dinner of grilled fish and shrimp: I had the garlic, wife had coconut. Fish, while not fresh (I asked: It's basa, a Vietnamese catfish), was grilled perfectly. Coconut shrimp was sweet and the sauce pleasant. The oil could have been fresher but most people wouldn't notice. Rice tasted like it had been the cooker for quite a while. Salads were perfect. Stop first at the store next door if you need an adult beverage.

Kahuku Grill is one of the few places on this side of the island that is open for business past 5pm! That said, it is also a great place to enjoy a hearty burger, fish plate, terriyaki chicken or shrimp plate. The menu is not that extensive as I have listed all their offerings but they do each and everyone of them well. It's a hole in the wall type place but the staff is friendly and you have a mix of tourists and locals who visit throughout the day.

This week we traveled Hawaii via Yelp and our stomachs. The Kahuku Grill sits adjacent to the Kahuku Sugar Mill, Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck, and Wili Wili's Shaved ice. We fortunately stumbled upon this shrimp shack mistakenly while looking for a different shrimp shack. It was the best decision we made this entire week and we have been back multiple times. We ordered the Classic Garlic Lover's Shrimp and the Seek's Pesto Burger. Yes, a burger is not a shrimp dish, but even still, it was addictively delicious. Adorned with mushrooms, generously smeared with pesto, and topped with a garlic toasted bun, this burger put every other meat dish this week to shame. As for the Garlic Lover's Shrimp, we do not praise easily. Giovanni's submerged the shrimp past recognition in butter. The Shrimp Shack painfully overloaded the garlic - difficult to do by my Sicilian wife's standards, by the way. Most importantly, they deveined their shrimp meaning no shrimp intestines flossing your teeth during lunch. The balance of garlic and butter on perfectly grilled shrimp made for a deliciously light meal paired with a huge helping of rice and fresh side salad. Even with this being the best meal we've had (more than once) this week, the service has been something to willingly return for. The waitresses are delightful and kind - which has, surprisingly, been difficult to find this week at other establishments. We were chatting with the servers and they asked what brought us to Hawaii. Upon finding out that we were here for our honeymoon, they brought us ice cream to congratulate us during our most recent visit. Kahuku's Grill has been our favorite spot this week and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

I came here for lunch while vacationing on the North Shore. I NEVER eat burgers and had one here - wow, it was amazing! I had the Cowboy burger with onion rings, pineapple, bacon, avocado... and about 15 other ingredients on it, so good. Tried the cheeseburger too, which clearly paled in comparison. We had the crazy fries which were really delicious and covered in a delicious mayo-y sauce. My only complaint is the wait. For a burger and fries, we waited 20+ minutes! Eek, I know we're on "island time" but they should pick up the pace a bit to keep folks coming back.

We went there after our soccer game in Kahuku. When I ordered, they had an IdCard sticker on their menu. So I busted out mine thinking a discount is a bonus. They had no clue. No discount wasn't an issue. The food took 40 minutes or so for one plate lunch and three burgers! Monkeys were sick of the wait and wanted to just leave. Everyone that ordered after us were already eating or done. There was apparently an issue with the fish. Think they remade it. But then, the coconut shrimp that looked light and crispy on the orders we kept watching go by were chewy soggy lumps because they were probably done much earlier and sat waiting for the fish. And I couldn't taste teriyaki sauce on the teriburgers. The owner or manager shook my hand, but that is not enough to offset the way too long wait and lousy food quality. The fish tasted great though. Don't think I will be back. And don't think my wife and kids will let me take them there again.

I had the Shem bacon guacamole burger. It was so greasy and hard to eat. Very messy. The grilled onions in them didn't help the messiness or the flavor. The fries were thick potato slices which would have been a little better without a ton of salt. The sauce it came with was good though. My boyfriend got the cowboy burger which he thought was alright. Nothing special. Messy and soggy. We also got the macadamia coconut shrimp for my mom which was way too sweet to enjoy. She pretty much took the crust off and just ate the shrimp. I probably wouldn't have came here if the reviews weren't high for the area and I was disappointed sadly. It was a waste of money since we threw most of it away.

Kahuku Grill is fantastic! We came here a little past 11 on a Saturday and happened to just beat the lunch rush. I read reviews about the food sometimes taking a while to come out because it's made fresh to order and this place is a popular food spot. Lucky for us, there was no waiting in line and our food was ready in about 15 minutes. I couldn't resist getting their seafood combo so that I could try both their famous coconut mac nut shrimp and their garlic shrimp. You get three coconut mac nut shrimp (they are big!) and five garlic shrimp with the combo. The garlic shrimp was good but the coconut mac nut shrimp totally kicked its butt! The latter was incredibly delicious--the crust was perfectly crispy and was such a perfect match for the sweet chili sauce. The shrimp and fish plates come with a mixed pupukea green salad (you can add avocado, pineapple, bacon, and mushrooms to the salad for $1 each). I got my salad with avocado and the dressing was nice and light. I got to try bites of bacon and guacamole from the Shem's Big Bad Burger and a bite of the grilled fish plate and everything was delicious! Next time I am back on this side of the island, I definitely want to come back for more!

We were heading to the beach on the North Shore and looking for a place to eat. We already passed Haleiwa town and there was a lot of traffic so we didn't want to turn around. We decided on a place but found out it was closed. So we continued to drive to Kahuku. The food trucks across the street wasn't to my liking so we decided on Kahuku Grill. I always see the sign passing by and wanted to eat here one day. I ordered the Paniolo Burger which is a cheeseburger that has onion rings, bacon, bbq sauce, and pineapple with crazy sauce. I added on the crazy fries. We waited about 15-20 minutes but it was well worth it. This was delicious and worth the price. I would have given it another star or even two but when ordering my food I gave them an entertainment book card. The cashier took 10 minutes to try and figure how to enter it in their computer, which I was okay with. She called the owner and asked about it. The owner said that they will not accpet it. And was upset that Kahuku Grill was put into the entertainment book without their knowledge. I would think the owner would still honor it because its not my fault that the coupon is in there. It's between the owner and the book and not the customers. It's like a free advertisement for them. But all in all it is a good place to eat at.

Dawn L.

I'm REALLY torn on this one. I'm giving them 3-stars PURELY based on the employees and their attentiveness and obvious hard work. But some things are broken about this place and we were pretty annoyed. First, we only stopped here because there is a coupon in our Entertainment Book: $5 off $20 purchase or more. We've never been here before because the shrimp truck that shares the same parking lot is my hands down favorite that I've eaten at for 20 years. When we got there, there was a sign at the window that said "BE BACK IN 15 MINS--LUNCH BREAK." (Strike 1) I was pretty shocked. I saw probably 5 or 6 employees around and didn't understand why they all took their break at the same time. So I waited. Fifteen minutes later, a man came to the window and said they were still closed but asked what I wanted and he would start cooking at least. He said the servers could ring me up when they got back. He explained that they had been slammed all day--um still not sure why the breaks weren't tapered out instead of all at once but whatever. I appreciate his willingness to help us--I had two hungry kids and a hungry husband with me and it was already 2 PM. When the girl came back to the window, I went back to pay for my food. Took my coupon and she quickly dismissed it, saying "We don't take that because the person who put it in the book wasn't authorized." (Strike 2) WHAT?!?! So I wasted all my time and my money basically when I could have been at the shrimp truck instead? Had the nice man not already taken my order, I would have cancelled everything. But at this point, he was bringing our food out from behind the kitchen. The servers work hard to keep the tables clean while the feral chickens work hard to mess them up. The girls also have genuine conversations with tourists and locals that enjoy their lunches there. So, for the noticeable effort made by the staff, I'm leaning high and giving them 3 stars. But they have kinks that need to be worked out before I would ever consider a return visit.

A solid 4 stars! A simple order at counter and sit outside place to eat. The thing is, you cannot see this place from the outside easily. There's a gas station and market and behind both is Kahuku Grill and Fiji Market. Kahuku grill is on the left and Fiji market is on the right in back. I ordered the basa fish sandwich and it was delicious. The fish was fresh and the bun was great. A little sloppy eating because the tomato inside was so juicy and the lettuce was cut a little too big. They also have unusual sliced potatoes instead of fries. They cut the potato in half then slice them thin and fry them, then generous amounts of salt finish it off. Some of the potatoes were overcooked, but overall they were great! The fish sandwich was under $9 and came with a drink. Awesome! Will go again! I heard the shrimp is fantastic!

Burgers are pretty good and are loaded with fixings so they tend to fall apart; I had the Shem's which was loaded with guacamole, couple slices of bacon, American cheese & thick sliced tomatoes. The fries were hand cut but pretty oily; not a fan of the special sauce. Given quality of burger I would try them again when visiting the North Shore area.
(3)
Eric I.

Let's start with there is no indoor seating. There at picnic tables with umbrellas outside where you can eat with the chickens, roosters, and feral cats if that stuff is your sort of thing. It is located behind the gas station. Yes, you eat outside next to a gas station with cats, roosters, and chickens. Sound lava lot like typical north shore eating The burgers were ok. The buns were ok. The fries were unique and ok. Employees were nice; however nice employees with poor environment and ok food equals two stars. If you are in high school this is probably fine.

Dana M.

The first time I tried this place was amazing. The coconut shrimp is beyond that of anywhere else, the salad is amazing, and he portion is huge. The second time I came here, some of the coconut shrimp was extremely undercooked, transparent even. However, we told them about it and they fried us up some more. In my opinion, it tastes much better when it's a little overcooked (dark brown), because that way the coconut shavings and the macadamia nuts are able to infuse more of their flavor.

Maurizio B.

This is the second time that we come here. This place gets 3 stars no for the food but for the slow service . The staff was very friendly and nice but we stay in line waiting to order for 30 min with four people in front of us. The cashier was wondering around, taking plates to the tables. Picking up from the tables, and taking drinks to the kitchen .... After another 15 min of being there we finally got the food. Food was really tasty. Make sure you have a lot of patience....

Came here because it was one of the only places that was open after 6:30. We ordered a couple of burgers and some garlic shrimp plates. It took forever to take our order! One counter person who was taking orders, bussing tables, waitressing, and also looked like she was either helping cooking or prepping stuff in the kitchen as well. She was friendly and did apologize for the wait. The shrimp plate comes with 7 shrimps, salad, and rice for $13. It was ok, but would go to others nearby. The Bruce burger was supposed to be drenched in teriyaki sauce and grilled onions, but was very tasteless. The other cheeseburger was also had no flavor. I would not come back- just try eating dinner earlier or get take out for later

This place is fantastic! The owner came out, he said he runs this restaurant with his wife and 7 boys. They have opened other locations under a different name (7 brothers). Great family business and great food. I got the cowboy burger and wasn't disappointed. I'm not a fan of shrimp, but those on my table that got it said it was great.

After snorkeling at Shark's Cove I took my family and friends that just moved back from Belgium to Kahuku Grill. My friend wanted to eat garlic shrimp but that wasn't the kids deal so we came here since they also have other options. We ordered the garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, basa fillet, and pesto burger. Everything was seasoned just right and hit the spot. Their home fries are to die for too! Highly recommended. Great food in a kick back atmosphere!

L S.

We read about this place before coming, we arrive on our mopeds about 5 minutes before they're supposed to open to find a sign that reads "we're opening an hour late today." Major bummer but since it's raining we wait it out and boy are we glad we did! We shared the Fire in Paradise burger which had pineapple and jalapenos, we got the combo which came with salad and fries. Even the salad and fries were exceptional. Quaint little area to sit and watch the chickens, would love to come back one day!

I give them 5 stars because everything was absolutely perfect. I ordered the Shem burger. It has guacamole, and bacon. A little messy, but that's what made it so much better! And the fries were different from the average fry but exceeded in taste. The customer service and wait time were wonderful. I had to wait about 10 min? The only thing really wrong were the chickens. But only because I'm scared of chickens
(5)
Kasey R.

Skip Giovanni's shrimp truck across the street and go to Kahuku instead! Their coconut Mac nut shrimp, perfect. Seasoned rice that comes with it, perfect. The side salad that also comes with it, perfect. The only downside is the wait can be hefty, there is no longer inside seating, and outside seating is limited. Their hamburgers are also pretty good! My granma races about the white fish and is a must stop when she comes into town!

Riccardo C.

This place was AMAZE!!!! Do not go to north Shore without trying this place! The fries are hands down the best part. But that's not to say the Bruce Irons burger that I had (pretty sure it started with bruce) wasn't amazing and huge because it was. Come here and you will not be disappointed. ..I have no pictures of it because I didn't waste time to devour it! EAT HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT...IN FACT YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF FOR LISTENING TO.ME ; )

Good food, love their desserts. They are always out of their desserts, and their service is beyond terrible. I tried taking my family here to eat and the girl who was our cashier was really rude; furthermore, we waited 45 min in line just to find out they couldn't take anymore orders for another 25-30 min. Maybe not all workers, but the ones I've met every time have poor customer service

Jack L.

The food here is prolly one of the best tasting in Kahuku. The fish filet plate is kinda pricey but well worth it. The only draw back is the waiting for your food because they only have one cashier and server. It's hella hot in the summer time dress cool.

Michelle L.

The deep blue burger is amazing... Bleu cheese, bbq sauce, and bacon mm hmmm!! Must get it with their homemade potatoes and special sauce. Love coming here to satisfy a hearty craving, but as someone who loves salt even I can say that at times the salt can be overwhelming...but not on all occasions. Their other restaurant/partner Seven Brothers seems to manage salt content better.

The best coconut shrimp I've ever tasted! If you're driving on Kamehameha and you're on the way to North Shore, this place is the perfect pit stop. The portions are huge compared to other shrimp places, and the food is always cooked fresh. It's worth the wait, and I recommend it to both locals and tourists. It's got a real farm fresh vibe to it as you may spot a few chickens or stray cats as you sit down to eat. Don't worry though, the animals are pretty tame and probably won't try to steal a bite of that scrumptious coconut shrimp!
(5)
Rodney R.

Fish and shrimp plate was AMAZING. One of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. Unfortunately we had to wait about an hour before we got our food, but it was well worth it. The line is slow and the food is made fresh so don't expect "fast food". Staff was very friendly and apologized for the wait.

Grilled fish plate + garlic shrimp combo is delish! So good, I had to ask what is in their seasoning so I can replicate this at home (assuming it's just as good on fish other than their balsa). Rice was tasty, and the pupukea salad with added grilled pineapple & avocado beautifully rounded out the plate. Their fryer was down the day we went, so we couldn't try the signature coconut mac nut shrimp.

Hidden T.

We drove here after visiting turtle bay resort. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp is a must since it said is world best. I went there around 4:45 in the afternoon. Waited 30 minutes because they have to prep for dinner. Then another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. We also order a burger with half salad and fries. Over all the food quality is pretty good. One thing I would say is the food are less hot than expected. I would think that the rice from the shrimp dinner plate should be hot since it should be coming from a rice cooker. But when I take the first bite. It was just warm. So I wonder if my dinner plate has been left out on the counter while we waited for 30 minutes for food. I would definitely suggest this place if the food was hotter. May be I was just unlucky this time since most Yelp reviews were positive.

The food is cooked fresh so be prepared to wait for it. Especially if there are a couple of larger groups ahead of you. But it's worth the wait. The staff is friendly and helpful. And they have on site entertainment in the form of live chickens and cats running around. Over all a good place to stop and eat. Especially if you don't want to pay resort prices.

I've been here once (will go again), but my review is mixed. I got there at about 3:30pm on a Friday (was not super busy), there were probably 5 people in front of me in line. The order counter was SO SLOW. there was one girl working. She was taking orders and running out the food that was ready, so it took twice as long. Then I get up almost to the front of the line & they stopped taking orders because their "grill was full"... What??? How is your grill full!? Couldn't they at least take the orders then put them on the grill when I spot came open? So I don't have to stand here for 30 min in the blazing hot sun? I literally waited 40 minutes in line. And it was SO HOT. I was not happy. Then waited about 20 min for my food. So I waited a total of an hour (not exaggerating at all). However, the food was amazing. We had the coconut shrimp & the Deep Bleu Burger with fries. I'm not sure if I just went on a bad day or what was going on, but this is not the place to go if you're looking for a quick meal.

I have given Kahuku Grill a 2nd try. I don't recommend it at this point, and I hate that I feel this way because I am local, and so is this restaurant. 1st try: I came last month for some peanut butter rolls after dinner at home. Everyone on yelp says that they're peanut butter rolls are good. I went in and bought a few plates of them. Only to go home and find them small, dry, old, and just not good. It tasted as if they had them for a few days in the refrigerator and warmed them up to order. 2nd Try: I came with friends for burgers and fries. The fries and sauce are good, but I had a bad experience with the burger. First off I ordered my burger with NO LETTUCE, and I clearly seen that there was huge pieces of lettuce sticking out. So as I opened my burger to take out the lettuce, I noticed that the lettuce was old and brown. It made me angry to think that they serve this to people. My friends tell me to give this place another try, but after spending all that money that day on everyone's food and getting that disgusting pieces of lettuce I have yet to see. I just don't want to dislike this place more than I do already.

Candy T.

Pros: hidden local gem! Prices are decent. Cons: the local chickens are aggressive and need to go (or cook them)! Not organized when it comes to people's orders. Not good for groups (food will not come out on time). Wait time is horrific. Restaurant: It's not a restaurant people! It's more of a fast food vendor truck. Tables are dirty as if they've never been wiped. The chickens roaming around, they add the dirtiness. Chickens are aggressive and jump on your table eating your food?? Ok, place to dine at. Preferred to eat somewhere else next time.

Manager needs to train cashier to take orders. Cashier should not step away and start cleaning tables. Especially when there is a line of more than 10 people. A 30 minute wait to find out there is no coconut shrimp.
(1)
Emma G.

Let's talk about this place. I could eat the coconut shrimp all day long, it's sweet from the coconut, nutty from the macadamia, and the sweet chili sauce adds the tiniest bit of spice for the tastiest shrimp on the north shore. The fish plate is tasty, as is the garlic shrimp and really, anything you order. The decor is adorable, with family photos covering the wall you really feel like family here. Good food, great people, this place is a MUST.

Nicole B.

I waited 25 minutes to be helped. Then my cheeseburger came out to me a long time after with a moldy bun and dirty lettuce. I waited 10 more minutes in line to show the girl taking orders....Then waited 20 more minutes for them to fix it. No joke. I waited a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes to get my food and wolfed it down in 5 minutes. It gets two stars because the hamburger was good and the girl taKing the orders was pleasant. I will never go here again.

If you are on the Northsore you have to try the famous shrimp. You walk up to the outdoor counter to order then you can sit outside or inside. I got the coconut shrimp which came with salad and rice. It was delicious. My husband got the guacamole burger which he enjoyed. Very friendly service.

Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. trust me I don't say that everyday. the fish we got was huge. the fries are to die for with their special sauce. people working their were super chill. This place is everything you would want out of a North Shore food joint

Huge portions, inventive menu. The macadamia - coconut shrimp were the best of many coconut shrimp on that trip. Lovely coating on large butterflied shrimp. The burgers are good and can come with interesting toppings. It is prone to line-ups, but one can order ahead.

Coconut shrimp is not bad. That sums up the whole restaurant. Garlic shrimp is meh. I think it's over hyped and over priced. Don't think I will come back again. It's just not worth the price.

The atmosphere of this little grill next to a gas station was a lot cooler then we had expected based on first sight. The variety on the menu was great for being a roadside grill. The atmosphere seemed very fitting for the area and the food was awesome. We had the coconut shrimp and the "cowboy" burger and they were both better than expected. It seems this place is affiliated with seven brothers burgers which is also another awesome restaurant.

The gal taking our order was super friendly and patient. The servings of rice, shrimp and salad were plentiful. I would have liked the shrimp more garlicy. The shrimp sticks to the shell, so peeling is a chore. Salad had good ingredients but had WAY too much dressing so ask for it on the side. The rice was basmati, I think and very good as well. The burgers look awesome but I avoid red meat. If you're a burger fan, you might want to try one. There were only a couple of feral cats around and they weren't a nuisance.

Great experience! Cashier was nice and friendly. We loved the burgers (ordered the fire in paradise) and sliced potato fries were excellent. Nice little spot with shave ice and cute little stores surrounding it.

This place is wonderful..great garlic shrimp and the basa fish was great...their house salad is interesting, fresh greens, sliced almonds and cranberrys...nice touch.. The people who work there are very friendly.. there is a cute Shave Ice place next-door but we were to full...maybe next time... Thank- you Kahuku Grill...we will be back...totally worth the trip from town...

The service is friendly and the food is quite good. Burgers are large and the fish basket is delicious.. Fish was served over warm rice and comes with a nice salad. Fish was tender and tasty yet not too salty. What also impressed us was their ability, interest and care to correct problems. We pointed out a serious issue and it was.taken care of extremely well. Problems do occur but how you handle them says a lot.

Would have been a 5 if the service was faster. Phoned in order at 540pm, was told it would take 25 min, got there at 605pm, had a long line waiting to order, I go in and tell a worker that I had a phone order and she tells me to wait in the line, after about 10 mins and the line didn't move at all, I go back in, finally the owner comes to me and I tell him my story and he apologizes, I don't even think my food was cooking yet! I finally get my food at 635pm, 55 mins after I made the order!!! But the burger was delicious!!! Not sure I would go back again because of the long wait I had, but I won't definitely rule it out.

I really enjoy the coconut macadamia nut shrimp and potato wedges. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to grab some food to go and take it to one of the north shore beaches for a little picnic.

I have to say Kahuku Grill has really upped their game since the last time I wrote a review. They have more menus items including fresh salads, burgers, fries, shrimp, and fish. They also offer seasonal deserts and take into consider dietary considerations. They take the time to make proper food. While it's casual, it's not "fast food" as everything is made to order.
(5)
Tami R.

Food was amazing. I got Shem's Big Bad Burger.... it was messy but tasty and juicy. My son loved the grilled fish sandwich. My husband loved the paniolo (cowboy) burger. It was so big but he took the onion rings out to eat separately just to fit it in his mouth. The fries are different but very good and have a nice seasoning on them. It comes with a dipping sauce, but it wasn't our thing. This food is a must eat. But don't eat here expecting luxury. There is very little inside seating and there was no air so we were so hot. If we sat outside with a small breeze we sat in the sun and that was worse. Next time I would grab it and go, or even eat it in the car.

Hans B.

The BEST Coconut shrimp on the planet.. Also try the grilled Basa fish and rice !!! Great place and the burgers looked great will have try that next!! However there are better places for Garlic shrimp on the North Shore!!
(5)
Kia H.

I don't even know what to say about this place. It was phenominal. They don't have a large menu, but everything they do is amazing. The coconut shrimp might be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth, and their fresh home cut fries are amazing. The burger, the Salad dressing (which they made without carrots for me, I'm allergic), even the rice was noteworthy. Fantastic.
(5)
Marissa W.

This place was incredible!! The Cowboy Burger is literally the best burger I've ever eaten! Went around 3 so the wait was short, staff was very friendly! I'm just sad that my Hawaiian vacation is almost over so I don't have time to come back for another!!

This place is my jam. Food ALWAYS delicious and the waitresses are SO friendly and polite every time I've been. Prices are perfect too. If you haven't been yet, try this place out! You won't regret it!

Not bad at all. Had he fish and World Famous Coconut Shrimp. Fish was good, don't know what kind it was;lightly seasoned. World Famous Coconut Shrimp was as good as any. Service was fine.

I ate here my first night in Hawaii and didn't have better food the rest of the trip. I'm pretty sure all the angels in heaven survive on a steady diet of Kahuku garlic shrimp when they're not playing tag or rocking out on the harp or whatever the hell they do up there because it is amazing. I ordered it both times and it did not disappoint. Everyone in my group loved the food they ordered. They were busy both times but the service was fast. We only waited like 15 minutes for our food. I will for sure come eat here again if I make it back to Hawaii.

Susanne M.

Yum. Delicious, and BEST fries ever (and...I'm serious! I had the deep blue burger which has bacon blue cheese Swiss cheese and special sauce. Everyone we had a fantastic experience. It's a cool little local spot a great place to stop for lunch. There is a shave ice right next door to it that is fantastic as well.

Pretty good burgers and a unique atmosphere, yet the place seems a little needing some cleaning.

Coconut macadamia nut sheimp is awesome! R3ally enjoyed it price was fair compared to some of the other places I have eaten at while on the island. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the food came relatively quick.

Russell S.

Took my wife and two teenage kids to eat here on a trusted friend's recommendation. We had the Paniolo burger, the Shem's Bacon burger, and the teri burger. The burgers were good. Real bacon and giant onion rings on the Paniolo, and real bacon and guacamole thicker than the burger patty. Very flavorful and not outrageously priced. Would return for the burger. However, the service was very lacking. If you upgrade the burgers to a combo they typically come with fries and salad. All of us ordered combos with just salad. All orders arrived with fries and salad. Not a big deal. We ordered the teri burger plain, just the patty and bun. It came to our table with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and house sauce. We asked the staff to take it back, which they did very politely and apologetically, but after a few minutes, they returned with a replacement teri burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a slow to steady flow of customers so it wasn't like the cooks were slammed. Good burger at a solid price, but less than average service.

Brian P.

Love the food but I stood in a line with only two small groups in front of me for 20 minutes while the staff neglected to take anyone's order. Bummed I was looking forward to the coconut shrimp.

M K.

Long lines. Quite a wait. But your taste buds and belly will guaranteed be happy. Coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp = perfection squared! Ask them to pour the garlic butter on your rice for an adventure. Pop the tums pre-meal or suffer the post-meal heartburn. Beware you will overeat.
(5)
Marci B.

The food is pretty good but the location and service is terrible. Usually we frequent kahuku grill whenever we are on that side but this last time we were so disappointed we left before even ordering. The girl taking our order was too busy flirting with the guys ahead of us to pay us any attention and then informed us the kitchen was behind so she wouldn't be able to take our order for awhile. It appears that the staff never cleans. Tables are always sticky and the stray cats and chickens aggressively try to eat your food and are quite a bother. And don't even get me started on the bathroom they offer, which is frequented more by homeless people than patrons of the restaurant. Their food is not worth the filth, terrible service and annoyances that come with it The charm of aloha doesn't require the filth and stench that hangs over this place

Kuhuku Grill has been a regular stop for me on the north shore for almost 5 years. Sadly, I'm done with you Kuhuku Grill. You can find coconut macadamia nut fried shrimp a lot of different places on Oahu without waiting 1 hour or more just to order and then 45 more minutes for your food. We left that disorganized ordering queue behind to have a nice meal in old Haliewa. We came back the next day to give Kuhuku Grill another chance, only to be TURNED AWAY BY THE STAFF due to a "reservation". Seriously? How does a restaurant shut down to the public for 2 hours for a reservation? And then they tried to send me to their "other" location 3 miles away that doesn't serve seafood. LAME! If you happen to roll into this place on a good day with no wait, you're lucky. Otherwise don't bother stopping, the food is good but not worth the wait.

Aileen A.

The only bad thing I can say about this place is they need a trash bin nearby & and extra bathroom. All the food was delicious. Make sure to add the extras (like avocado and bacon to your salad). The Crazy Fries are great, too!
(5)
John D.

Love this place. Very casual. Great burgers and fish. Yes you will have to wait a bit for the food but it is worth it. My favorite is the Shem Big Bad Burger - so good. The portions are great. Love the salad dressing. The place is a local favorite. There are outdoor tables as well as an indoor area. You pay for your food first then they will deliver to your table. Definitely a place to go if staying in the North Shore area.

Jen G.

First of all the food here is amazing. I've been here 3 times and haven't had anything I didn't like. I've tried the shrimp plate, one of the burgers (don't remember which one), the fish plate, peanut butter rolls, chocolate chip banana bread, and Seth's crazy fries. The fish plate was my favorite... A mild white fish seasoned nicely. Plates come with a salad and seasoned rice which is also very tasty. They also have homemade fries which are more of a deep fried potato (way better than regular French fries IMO). The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because 2 out of the 3 times I've been there it has taken a really long time for the kitchen to get our food out. One time I think they forget to make mine altogether because my husband was finished eating by the time mine arrived. You order at the window and they give you a card to place on your table then the staff brings your food when it's ready. There is seating indoors and outdoors however it's a fairly small place with very few seats inside. The staff is always very friendly.

Kristen D.

Well, we came here last time we visited Oahu in 2012 and I remembered it to be really good. This time though the food was a little lesser. You get plenty with the sides, and the people were very friendly. But there are only a couple coconut shrimp in the platter (maybe 6!) which seems a little small for a meal. The burgers were ok overall but the buns kinda take away from them. They are rough and fall apart if you get any toppings. I had the cowboy burger and ended up having to eat it with a knife and fork. The BBQ sauce I would recommend getting in the side bc it overwhelms the sandwich and is part of the reason the bun falls apart. Better buns would make a huge improvement for the sandwiches! I love the ambiance and location is convenient if you're on the north shore. Wouldn't drive up from Honolulu for this though. Hope they can fix these things bc it's a cute place with nice people and a great atmosphere. The taste was pretty good but with tweaks it could be a real gem.

Wil J.

I love this place! The burgers are great and the atmosphere is great. The coco shrimp is my fav and I've never had a bad meal here. This place is great for kids / they love it! Probably because shaved ice is next door haha!

Kahuku Grill is one of the local eateries of Kahuku, other than the typical shrimp trucks. Kahuku Grill is known for their coconut macadamia fried shrimp but normally I order the Paniolo (Cowboy) Burger. It's a regular hamburger but is topped with grilled pineapple, onion rings, and barbecue sauce. The burger is always fresh and the flavor combinations are very good. I do however on my recent visit in August 2014 dislike the smell of the outside patio area. Something smells very foul and needs to be cleaned up. All in all, Kahuku Grill is a very good place to come if you are visiting the North Shore and want to skip the long lines for the shrimp trucks.

Val B.

You walk up to a counter and order your food. You take your number and sit where ever you like. Seating indoors and outdoors. Love love love their fish salad. They had this awesome vineagarette. Salad came with dried cranberries. That was a nice touch. I got up sold on avocado and grilled pineapple. The fish was a huge portion. I had enough food for left overs. They have delish potato spuds. A side order is huge. With some secret sauce. So Ono. Service is awesome. They took our rubbish. The servers walked around to make sure the customers were happy. The ambiance is nice. Food came out in a timely manner.

Crystal B.

If you visit North Shore this is the place to stop and eat. Every single thing I tried on the menu was delicious. I highly recommend the coconut shrimp which is probably the best I've tasted. Big pieces of shrimp, crispy coconut try perfection with a delicious spicy/sweet dipping sauce. If you love burgers you will not be disappointed. They are all delicious. Fresh hand pressed patties that are seasoned to perfection. I highly recommend the Cowboy. Be warned, the burgers are huge! The thing I love the most are the fries. I don't like fries much but these are hard to pass up. The best I've ever eaten. They are seasoned so well. Wondering what they use. And they come with fry sauce which adds to the goodness. The banana bread Sunday should not be missed either. Soooo good. The service here is wonderful. Super friendly staff who go the extra mile. I will definitely be back.

Angela D.

Wow. First of all, the employees are beyond amazing. So friendly and accommodating and they ask everyone where they're from, how long they're staying on the island, etc. Friendliest service you'll get anywhere. The pesto burger: wow. That took my taste buds on a ride. I love experiencing flavor combos I've never thought of before, and after tasting it, I want to start making pesto burgers on the grill. The garlic and coconut shrimp were great; the seasoning on the rice compliments the flavors of the shrimp well, and the salad is really good. I could've actually been just fine with the shrimp on the salad and no rice. My only complaint is that the garlic shrimp was still shelled and I bit right into it :( That was unfortunate, but it was my mistake.

Justin V.

OMG grew up in Kahuku this was our hangout after school! The Burgers are Perfection. The home fries and the sauce just makes your mouth water! Other then that the service and place is highly recommended by me!
(5)
Stephanie I.

The paniolo burger is amazing. I bought it to take home and eat it but devoured the giant hamburger before arrival. So many good flavors and very juicy. Yes, it got all over me but it was worth it. This is a great place and much appreciated because there are not many good places along this stretch of the Kam. This place is just north of the area with the semi permanent food trucks, roasted corn, and open market.
(5)
Dave W.

Awesome dive, food was phenomenal, even with a little bit of a wait. Had the mac nut coconut shrimp, loved every bite. Whoever the new guy in the kitchen was did nothin short of a great job. Staff was super friendly, real homey backyard dinner feel. If your on north shore you gotta check this place out, wish I could've tried the dessert!
(5)
Darcy N.

I would say burgers are the only thing I would get here. We were there 2 weeks ago. I was disappointed in my shrimp combo. Shrimp in garlic was so over done the shell stuck to the shrimp meat. The coconut shrimp was ok not as good as food trucks. The Hamburger's my husband and daughter got looked good and they loved them. They are picky about their Burgers.
(2)
Jesse M.

We've been on Oahu twice, but to Kahuku Grill probably 6 times, enough said. The coconut and garlic shrimp are great but the fact that they season their rice separate them in a world of endless north shore rice scoops. Burgers are also damn good and for the love of God get Crazy Fries. The girls working have always been really nice and recognize you when you come back
(5)
Sarah E.

GET THE COCONUT MACADAMIA NUT SHRIMP. SO GOOD!!!! Super friendly people, a bit pricey but the taste is worth it. Because everything on the island is about this expensive. the Garlic shrimp is not as good as Ted's bakery though.

Mimi M.

After a LONG wait, I was told that they were now defrosting the fish. Then I waited a little longer only to be told that they ran out of fish!!!!!!! Ridiculous.

This Review is for the burgers only, since I am allergic to shellfish. Had I known we were going here and there was fab shrimp, I would have brought some benadryl! Day: My girlfriend from HS is local and for our Saturday girls day away from our husbands she insisted that we head to Kahuhu Grill for some awesome food. So, after driving 45 min from Kailua, I was hungry and READY to eat! Parking: Lots of parking, not an issue at all! Seating: Open indoor seating that is air conditioned and outdoor seating as well! Some tables had umbrellas, others did not, but the breeze was fab when we went! Service: The line looked long but moved very fast. After grazing the menu/yelp I was bummed that I had no meds on me so that I could eat the shrimp! So I decided on the country burger while my GF got the cheese burger. Note that the country burger is technically just veggies on a bun with no meat but you can add a patty for $1, which i did. Food: The wait was less than 15 min but in the great atmosphere and beautiful weather it goes by fast. When the burgers come they are fresh and you can smell the toasted bun and grilled meat. The meals come to you in standard red oval plastic baskets and it doesn't look like much but don't be fooled! The fries they serve are country homestyle fries that are seasoned to perfection. You could get full off the fries alone! The burgers are delicious. Moist, tender and not overly cooked at all and topped with super fresh veggies and made with aloha :) For the amount of food you get, the price is just right. Each burger set with fries is less than $10. Thats quality food for less than $10!!! We were SO extremely full, and had no room left even though we wanted to try the banana bread!!! I was pleasantly surprised with the stop to Kahuku grill and I cant wait to go back again for the shrimp :)

K A.

Food is excellent! We've been here many times and decided to bring family this time. We went today and waited about 40 minutes in line just to order our food(only 4 people in front of us) The cashier keep leaving in between orders and would be gone for about 5-8 minutes. She would work in the kitchen and return to take an order and leave again...maybe if we came during the week, it wouldn't be so bad! Highly disappointing.

Jeff E.

I got a tip about this place from the Laie Temple Visitor's Center staff and it was everything and more that I'd expect. The coconut macadamia nut shrimp is amazing and the salad and dressing was great. Don't forget to ask for bacon on the salad.
(5)
Hannah G.

It was a great experience and great food. We walked up to the window and the most friendly girl took our order. She was extremely helpful and nice. Me and my husband both ordered "Deep Blue" burgers and fries and 1 soda. The total came to $25 which is a great price and worth it! As we sat down and got out napkins, ketchup and soda the room was clean and bright. Our food came after a short wait and was GREAT! The burger was so filling, perfectly seasoned, and the fries were fantastic. My husband is still talking about it hours later. We will definitely be back! I recommend going around 11-11:30 because we left around 12 and it was getting packed to capacity.

Puka P.

After having bad experience in next door place where I ordered grilled and got deep fried fish, then being schooled by owner in a rude way that "this is how we grill fish" I was way too hungry and upset and headed to Kahuku grill. It was a rough start here as well as I waited about 10 mins for someone to show up and take the order. After the girl finally showed up I ordered grilled fish plate, paid with card: the cashier swiped card and handed me an iPad and asked to put tip amount on it (weird, seen this before, but how do I tip in advance?cant tell what's gonna happen especially after not such a good start) and sign it. Two things already that made me nervous. Thought the food was gonna take a while, but surprisingly it was pretty fast. The fish was perfectly seasoned and so moist and just amazing. Salad...I have dreams about this salad. What dressing do they add? Cranberries and that dressing just blew my mind. The rice was perfectly seasoned as well. My grumpy self just turned into the happiest person. This is my fav place from now on to get grilled fish. Def coming back to try shrimp and get that salad recipe.

Shem's Big Bad Burger was tasty and juicy. The grilled fish sandwich was also, not typical of a grilled fish sandwich. The salad dressing was terrific. The location is behind the bank and the old sugar mill gear statue, next to the gas station. You could easily miss it.

Heather F.

This place rocks! My wife and I had burgers (Paniolo Burger and Shem's Big Bad Burger). Both were huge and very filling. We opted for the combo which came with home style cut potato fries and a salad. Way too much food. Definitely stop here when you're in the area.

Got there when it first opened. Ordered the cowboy burger w/fries and a drink. So GOOD! I couldn't eat it all! Will definitely go back!

This place it's looks don't do it justice.Its got seating inside and outside and also plenty of parking. You really got too look for it it's tucked up behind a store but it's a must stop to get a excellent burger no regrets. Fast friendly service also.

Went hiking this past Friday night for one night at friends of Malaekahana and since for some apparent reason so we had to get something for me to eat dinner. And since Giovannies was closed, only other option was Mcds or Kahuku Grill. They are located behind the gas station on the side of Geovannie's shrimp truck. When we got there they were a tad busy but as soon as we ordered the line was ridiculously long...mainly with tourist. Their menu is fairly large and it looks like they cater to burgers and supposedly they have awesome fresh cut fries....which they do! Their fries is cut into thick slices and they jam pack it! it also comes with a side of sauce that reminded me of a mix of thousand island and tarter sauce. I got the fish burger combo with avocado for $1 more. My total was $8 with no drink. The fish burger was huge and the bun was soft and delicious. The burger was a perfect combination of fish, vegetables and the delicious fries went perfect with the burger! Workers there are all young and they aren't the best at customer service or delivering the food quickly but it beats eating Mcds when nothing else around is open. And they do open until 9pm and take credit cards!

We went here yesterday on a recommendation from Tim at Deep Ecology in Hale'iwa. It was easy to find (just look for the blue & yellow hand-painted sign). I had the Shem's Big Bad Burger without the sauce and bacon. It was delish!!! The guacamole made it a little hard to eat, but it was definitely worth it. I had to cut the burger in half because it was so big. The home fries were ridiculously good, too! The service was great and I loved the outdoor dining and laid-back atmosphere. And instead of using table numbers, they have table names. Our table name was Amazing. I'd say that summed up our visit to Kahuku Grill perfectly. I will definitely go back!!!
(5)
Cathy V.

Best food we had all vacation!!!! Friendly servers. Great food cooked to order. Wait staff was attentive and nice chat with one of the owners. The cowboy burger was huge and delicious! Side salad & home fries were great too! The coconut shrimp lived up to its billing also! The banana bread a la mode was large, warm and mouth-watering! If we ever make it back to this island it will be a must stop for us!

Laura L.

My husband and I were staying 5 minutes away at Turtle Bay on our recent visit to Hawaii and determined not to eat any more subpar over-priced hotel food. Kahuku Grill was a great find! We had grilled fish salads and coconut shrimp and I found myself craving their food the following days! I am not a huge coconut fan or fried food fan but their coconut shrimp is hands down one of the best shrimp dishes I have had. Not at all greasy, the shrimp was perfectly cooked and the crunchy coconut flavor was a perfect combination. The dressing on the salads and the dipping sauce that came with were also superb! This is a great spot and is super casual. You walk up to the window to order and can choose from indoor or limited outdoor seating. The service was nice, the food was good, and I look forward to returning on our next trip to the island!

Mikell O.

Always delicious food! Always good quality! Coming from a family owned restaurant - I love and appreciate so much getting to know the owners. Every time I've eaten here, the owner or manager has come to see how everything is and thank us for coming!! It truly is the best way to make racing fans! Support Local!

Rachel R.

We were looking for a place outside the hotel to grab a good meal. This was the absolute perfect find! The weather was great so we sat outside. My boyfriend and I got the cowboy burger and grilled fish plate (quite the contrast on the healthy scale) to split. I also ordered a small green salad since I was starving! It was 8pm and our first meal of the day. The burger was awesome! Cooked perfectly, fresh bun, great produce fixings and amazing onion rings and pineapple! The fries are just as good. More like a small seasoned potato skin, but fantastic and seasoned just right. After taking a few bites out of the burger I was thinking that there was no way I would be digging the grilled fish. Wrong! I don't know what they seasoned it with but it was just as tasty as my burger. The salad was great, fresh with a yummy dressing. We love this place and will definitely be back!

Jessica F.

Just driving the cost and saw this area. We decided to give it a try. I got a cheeseburger with added pineapple. I wish (for the extra dollar I paid for pineapple) I would have gotten more than one ring to cover the whole burger. Hubby got the cowboy burger. It was huge! The burgers were good but fall apart. The meat itself falls apart! Would not stay on the bun. Also make sure to double check your total! We were over charged and so were the people in front of us because something was accidentally added but not removed. Not sure if it was a fluke or something that happens regularly. Prices are good. Suppose to have world famous coconut shrimp but we are not seafood eaters so can't comment on that.
(4)
Adrian D.

Omgosh! Amazing, delicious mouth watering food. I had the coconut shrimp with the seasoned rice and side salad. The staff were great. Courteous, energetic and good service overall. Kahuku Grill is off the side of the road, so keep keep your eyes open. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Christian G.

Must try if your in North Shore. Decent place and they actually serve you ;). Casual meal at the beach and no better reason than to enjoy the most famous cocunut shrimp in Oahu!

I went with my daughter to this place after reading some nice reviews and their closing time-9 pm suited us. First thing we have noticed was the smell of urine or vomit coming from the floor. I saw couple of stray cats and I thought that may be it was them. The atmosphere I thought was lively and the lady who took orders was very nice. I paid with my credit card upfront with options showing the amount for tips. I paid 15% (upfront, before having a meal) Since I haven't lived long enough in the US I don't really know when to pay tips and when not to pay them, so I paid. We both ordered combo plate-coconut and garlic shrimps. While we were waiting for our meal to arrive, we tried to change our seats but the smell was following us everywhere. The biggest disappointment was the food-uncooked shrimps with uncooked rice. I didn't eat the rice but somehow managed to finish shrimps(2 out of 4 were funny tasting and mushy) Will never go there again and regret having paid the 15% tip for nothing. Message to the owner of the place, please do something about the smell and the quality of your cooking. Nice people doesn't make up for bad food

Jerusha B.

I've been here three times in the last week. The garlic shrimp are fantastic. I love that it comes with a small salad and seasoned rice. If you are NOT a garlic lover, you may want to try the coconut macadamia nut shrimp. They are great as well. And of course you must get their banana chocolate chip coconut bread for dessert.. OMG it's like I died and went into dessert heaven on that one. And while the service is not fast food fast, the staff was super friendly each time I went. This place is not obvious like Giovonni's shrimp truck but keep an eye out for the blue and yellow signsA
(5)
Gary F.

Ridiculously good; wish I could eat here 10 times on my trip. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp is terrific, but then the rice and salad served with it were top notch too. The cowboy burger was one of the best burgers I have had. The staff was really friendly and on top of it as well. I Definitely recommend this place for a great casual amazing meal.

Great burgers, great home made fries and great fish. My two go to burgers are the shem burger and the paniolo burger, both have their distinct taste that is filled with flavor. The home made fries with the special dipping sauce is icing on the cake for me. I couldn't ask for mor a better burger place close to home. The delicious food makes us coming back for more at least once a week. The wait to order and receive the food can take awhile, so I usually order before I head down there, giving them a good 15-20 minutes to prep the order. I wish they had a separate take out window that would allow me to skip the order line. Great place and great food, glad they opened their second restaurant, Seven Brothers, which is closer but they don't server the fish and shrimp plate.

If you're tired of eating delicious fresh seafood and you're looking for just a simple beef burger, this is probably your best bet in the North Shore area. I think I made the right choice when I ordered the regular cheeseburger -- it was tasty and juicy. The burger wasn't amazing, but the hand-cut fries were delish. My boyf made the mistake of ordering the "famous coconut shrimp." His order came out beyond overcooked. The shrimp were hard and nothing was good about it. Thankfully, the waitresses were nice and got us a new set of shrimp -- they were better but nothing to write home about. My boyf's dad got a fish sandwich and he said his dish was "meh." In hindsight, if you look at the locals, they're all eating regular burgers, so stick to that.

Just great food. The "world famous" coconut macadamia nut shrimp was phenomenal and that alone is worth a stop. But the non-seafood folks are going to just as happy as the burgers are great too. I had Shem's Big Bad Burger which was just a glorious mess of avocado, bacon, cheese, and meaty goodness. And the kitties are too adorable!

We adore this place and the food is always FANTASTIC!! After being away for a year....everything was exactly as wonderful as we remembered. Savannah was very friendly and helpful and we argued over who had the best meal. The Coconut Mac nut shrimp is just incredible....but the three different burgers and the grilled fish....oh my!!! But never forget the banana nut bread Sunday with chocolate and coconut! Do t miss it!

Awesome food and great location. Service might be slow but worth the wait; we had the coconut shrimp, macadamia coconut shrimp and the grilled fish... All delicious; even the rice was outstanding. A little hidden gem behind the gas station.. Don't miss it!

Great meal tonight at Kahuku Grill. I had a burger with pineapple, teriyaki, avocado, and grilled onions. It was awesome. My wife had the seafood combo plate and she loved it. My young daughter had the fish sandwich which she loved. The fries are amazing and the prices are great. They don't sell beer or wine, but you can BYOB. Will return again for sure. Really friendly service.

Brought my sister and my girlfriend here so we were able to try several of their burgers and their fries. I had the Twice as Much burger which is just humongous. Really big burger. My sister had something like a bacon and bleu cheese burger and my girlfriend had the Teri burger. We also order their regular and crazy fries. The burgers were very juicy and very well seasoned. They have a sauce in their burger that adds a great flavor to just about anything. They also use this sauce as a dipping sauce for the fries. I had a cup of ketchup that I ended up neglecting because the sauce was delicious. When we arrived, service was very slow mainly because there was only one waitress taking orders and serving food. They were short staffed but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because she was very friendly. Another waitress came in later which moved things faster for the other customers. This place is also nestled behind a convenient shop so if you're not paying attention from the road, you can easily miss it. It's a great place though with ample seating. Cool kind of beach vibe, and reasonable prices for a burger joint. I look forward to my next visit to try more of their food.

Went here a couple of weekends ago with my husband and daughter. Ordered the Coconut Mac Nut Shrimp. The rice was so salty and over seasoned I could not even eat it. The salad looked great but I did not care for the dressing (it comes with the dressing on it and the menu does not specify the type of dressing). I was so irritated that I did not even try the shrimp. My husband had the salad with shrimp and they got his order wrong and my daughter had the grilled fish. The waitress brought us free fries to compensate and I did like those but overall I was not impressed. My husband and daughter did like their food. We sat outside to eat and there is a bad smell coming from somewhere.

Overpriced food that I can easily make at home for cheaper. Crappy music blaring from their speakers (think of a weird playlist of Rascal Flatts meets Slightly Stoopid). Fake local ambiance. Very touristy. All my friends love this place, but it's very overrated.

A must go if you're in North Shore. Get the coconut shrimp or the fish on rice.

Absolutely some of the best food I have ever had. Definitely our favorite while visiting Oahu. Do yourself a favor and STOP here. We had never been but we passed it and then decided a couple miles later to turn around and try... thank gosh! The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. I got a burger with cheese, bacon and a side of fries... amazing! My FiancÃ© got the garlic shrimp with rice... I tried it... Amazing again! I can't say enough good things about how great their food was. We all loved it! This was also the cheapest meal we ate while visiting.

Alaina K.

Absolutely amazing food. I always order the fish and shrimp and instead of the salad I order their fries. I have been here a total of 5 times and never did the food disappoint. It's on the north shore so it was quite a drive, but if I had friends or family come out I always took them here. The fish has so much flavor, falls right apart and is just amazing. I crave it to this day. The line does get long in the afternoon, and when I say long I mean LONG. Seating is ample for the area as they have inside and outside. Parking is easy. If I ever visit or move back, this would be a first stop.

Don't believe the hype. .. This place might have been awesome back in the day when the original owners ran it but now it's where you go for a very disappointing burger with extra hype. Not worth going to at all.

Loved this place! We were looking for dinner and found this place on Yelp. We went there for 2 nights, because it was so good. The first night we had the Shem Burger and the Coconut Shrimp/grilled fish. Loved the Burger, it was excellent. Loved the Coconut Shrimp, the fish was fine, but not our favorite. The 2nd night, we both got burgers. Loved this place! It is BYOB, so we brought beers and sat outside. The 2nd night we took our food to go, and drove down the road a few minutes until we found a beach and then ate watching the sunset. Totally recommend! Great food at great prices. Try a burger!

Mom P.

What a gem of a find on the north shore! Service was laid back & she was happy to hear we found them through Yelp! My husband ordered the cheeseburger with bacon & special sauce. So good! As were the fries that accompanied! I order the garlic shrimp with rice, OMG! Ahh-mazing deliciousness! Will deff be back on next visit!

Kaitlin B.

Bruce Irons burger with grilled pineapple is the main reason I stop here. The frys with fry sauce is excellent. It was slow getting our food, but once they found out how long we were waiting they offered to comp our meal! That is great service. Every establishment makes mistakes, but owning up to them and making it up to the customer is what makes great service.

Chad G.

We ordered 2 kinds of shrimp a burger and grilled fish to go. They took 45 minutes to cook our food and gave us two orders of fish with no burger. Tables were dirty and many other guests were complaining of the slow service. Will avoid this place in the future which is a real shame because the other reviews made it seem promising.

Jacquie L.

Had the coconut macadamia shrimp and a teriyaki burger. Both were incredible. Prices were typical for this type of place. Food was breathtakingly good. The seasoned rice was addicting, the potato slice fries have just the right amount of flavor. The tables were clean, and the service was great. Don't miss the amazing chocolate chip banana bread, it melts in your mouth and makes your taste buds smile. tl;dr Kahuku Grill is as good or better than anywhere else around, and that's really saying something.

This was a wonderful surprise. My girlfriend and I were looking for something in the area to eat and, while we love shrimp, we weren't in the mood for one of the 20 shrimp trucks that serve only shrimp and dot the area. Then we saw the Kahuku grill. Not much to look at, but the food was outstanding. I ordered a double cheeseburger with a salad. I ordered the double because the $3.50 price for the single burger made me think it would be very small---boy was I wrong! When the burger came it was so large I couldn't pick it up without making a big mess (in a good way). It was delicious. Better still, my girlfriend ordered grilled fish and rice, and it came out with this beautiful tender filet, and a butter garlic sauce that permeated the rice, and a salad. This place is for real. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. My only complaint is they need to invest in some doors. It was so hot inside and so many flies that I thought I was going to melt and the flies would finish my burger before I did. They had an air conditioner blasting, but it doesn't do much good when your room is wide open.

I have been coming here for over twenty years as a visitor to Hawaii every year from California, and sometimes 2-3 times per year. I first learned of this place by accident, while perusing the area for coconut shrimp. I was initially blown away at the size and quantity of shrimp, not to mention the preparation that was spot on. As years passed, I noticed a decline in the quantity and sometimes quality of the coconut shrimp. I cannot testify to any other items because I love the shrimp. I would give it a rating between 3-3.5 stars then, but I just had lunch here last week, and it was awesome....best ever! According to our server, this place got a makeover and new owners about three years ago. I did not try this place last year, but this time I believe the coconut shrimp was the best ever in quality along with the salad and rice condiments. My fiance had the grilled fish and said it was better than the last time, when they salted it a little too much. This time we ordered the fish with NO salt and it was yummy, she said. Without a doubt, we will be back again either this year or definitely 2013, and we will be having lunch here. The new owners are doing a wonderful job, so keep it up. By the way, the wait staff, a young Australian accent girl was friendly, courteous, and very pleasant to talk to, so keep up all of the good work everyone. This place is a winner!!!

Oh my gosh, please try this place? My husband and I shared the Shem's combo w/salad and we loved it. The burger was so good. Homemade guac, thick, REAL bacon, & a moist burger patty! We cut it in half and were still so full afterward. The fries are yummy as well: chunks of potato fried and seasoned. The salad was fresh and had a tasty dressing on it. For dessert, we had the banana bread sundae. I wasn't sure how it would be, but it's a must! The banana bread had chocolate chips in it and it was warm and fluffy. There were two huge scoops of ice cream with chocolate sauce and coconut on top. It was so delicious! We can't wait to go again!

We stayed at the Turtle Bay resort in North Shore and stumbled on this place thanks to Yelp. Place was AWESOME I had the grilled seafood plate and my wife had a burger, both were equally as good and the atmosphere was very cool. One of the owners even came out to ask how our dinner was. Place has GREAT good and even better prices! We got 2 meals for half the price of what we would've paid for one at the resort. Get off the resort and get to Kahuku Cafe!!!

Victoria W.

Reading someone else's review, I thought they actually had a veggie burger, but what they served me is a bun with salad greens, a tiny slice of pineapple, a tiny smattering of sauteed mushroom, and a slice of Kraft singles. With fries this came to $7, same price as a normal burger with fries. I know this isn't one of their regular options but it was still really disappointing. Service was friendly. There was a sewage smell outside so we sat inside. Bathrooms were available, but were out of toilet paper. Cash only.

Travel B.

Usually I really like K Grill, but tonight I was very dissatisfied with the food I ordered. Two fish plates and a cheeseburger combo. The fish was wayyyyy over seasoned, you practically had to scrape off the top just to taste the fish, the burger was extra salty too. The burger was also mushy. The side salad with the fish is usually my favorite part, but it was tiny and the lettuce was wilted. I'm pretty sure they forgot to put croutons and wontons on it too. The rice was hard and dry. Tried to go there the night before but they ran out of fish and the fryer was broken. Our waiter Yani was very polite and it seemed like she was the one woman show bussing tables and taking out orders. Props to her! Kahuku Grill is either super good or very disappointing depending on the night. Seems like they need to get all their cooks on the same page. We chose to go to the Grill instead of Banzai Sushi for my parents last night in town.. Looks like we chose wrong tonight. :/

My first visit to Hawaii and we decided to make the trek around the whole island in a Jeep. Once our hunger set in we only passed a bunch of shrimp shacks. After checking out Yelp, I read about Kahuku Grill. We stopped in for lunch. SERVICE: folks were very nice. Ordering took no time but it did take about 25 mins to get food. FOOD: I got the Coconut Shrimp and they were fabulous. Just the right amount of coconut and the shrimp were huge. My buddy got the garlic shrimp and they were just ok. Swamped in butter and messy. They should have been peeled prior to serving. Meal was pricey but worth it. ATMOSPHERE: nice, casual environment. Seating was outside on patio or inside in a tiny cramped room. Definitely go for outdoor seating.

There literally is no place better on the entire island. Anyone visiting the north shore HAS to eat here. Best food and best setting. Delicious!!

First visit, so we'll see if future visits stack up. Ordered the coconut shrimp plate with home fries instead of rice. Came with a really great honey mustard dipping sauce and a tangy dressing for the salad. Quick, inexpensive for the quality (esp compared to the local shrimp trucks). I'm a fan!
(5)
C W.

SERVICE: leaves much to be desired; FOOD: inconsistent taste and size; sometimes there's fish, sometimes not; coconut shrimp is wayyy overrated -- too much coconut and panko flakes, not enough shrimp; WAIT TIME: very long; if you only have 30 minutes for lunch, do not go here as it takes about that much time just to get your food and then it's a gamble if they get it right.

After reading the reviews on Yelp, we decided to stop by for lunch one afternoon. Although it was around 2 p.m., it was very crowded, which we thought was a good sign. Wrong! We waited, and waited, and waited in line. There were about five people in front of us, and it took between 30-45 minutes to even order. They have one girl working behind the counter taking orders. After she takes an order, she says, "I will be right back," disappears for 10 minutes, then reappears to take the next order. We think that she was leaving to go cook the food. We also saw her delivering food to tables. They obviously need more people working. We finally placed our order for 2 coconut mac nut shrimp meals, fries, and a salad, thrilled that we were almost ready to eat. Our fries came out quickly, and they were by far the best part of the meal, but they were not great. They were not really fries, just huge fried slices of potatoes with TONS of a peppery seasoning all over them. They were served with a spicy dipping sauce, which we enjoyed. After a long time, one basket of shrimp arrived, along with a burger, which we did not order. They set down the shrimp and left to look for our salad and other shrimp plate. My husband and I shared his shrimp while we waited for the other meal to arrive. If the food had been good, I would not care about the service, but the shrimp were bland, flavorless, and greasy. I was really shocked that a place with bad food and horrible service could get such glowing reviews! Outback, the Chart House, and Tommy Bahamas all have coconut shrimp that are 500 times better than this place. They had absolutely no flavor. Luckily, we were staying at Turtle Bay and had not driven far to eat at Kahuku Grill. Once my shrimp and salad eventually arrived, I thought maybe my shrimp would be better, and tried them. Nope. We will never go back to Kahuku Grill.

YUMMMMMMM!!!!! If someone told me I could have a cheeseburger from one place before I die, I would choose Kahuku Grill! And that says a lot because I'm from California, the home of In-n-Out burgers. Call me a traitor, but I just love their burgers (Shem and regular cheeseburger) because it tastes well-balanced. Their bun to cheese to patty to sauce to veggie ratio is perfect!! Their veggies taste fresh, sesame buns are soft, and the beef patty is huge and lean. If you're not into burgers, they have coconut shrimp! Their coconut shrimp is sooooo good, they are crispy on the outside but moist and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce complements the shrimp perfectly-the shrimp having a slight salty, coconut taste and the not too sweet sauce. Also, their salad is great. Make sure to add a side of fries and don't forget to check-in to get your free drink!!

We found this place through Yelp...and all the reviews were spot-on in terms of tastiness! We went with the chzburger and Fish Sammy. Both were amazing, but surprisingly not too heavy for that type of meal. Great for the price, and the yum factor was way up there! My only constructive feedback comment is that the tables outside were sticky and seemed a little dirty...they ARE outside, but could be spruced up a little so that they feel cleaner.

Laura S.

WOW!! This is all I can say of this place. A local hole in the wall type of establishment, but some of the most amazing food! We drove up to the north shore from Honolulu and stopped to eat here. TOTALLY worth it. Don't expect fancy, but do expect excellent. I had the coconut shrimp and the garlic shrimp. Comes with a locally grown salad and amazing rice. My sister had the Shem's burger and it too was amazing! The home fries are just as delightful. Put this place on your list of things to do while in Oahu.

Damn good... Far exceed my expectations of a shack! Only place open after 7 PM it should be the only place open PERIOD! Had the garlic shrimp with the grill fish amazing. And my girlfriend had the coconut shrimp, and honestly it was a tie. Must have if your staying at Turtle Bay

Great grilled fish on rice with salad - i could eat it every day. The fries that came with the burgers - amazing. My friends loved the coconut shrimp. The burgers were good too. Nice friendly folks. Service was good and timely. They had an outdoor seating and an inside area too which was where we ate to escape the heat. What a great addition to a wonderful neighborhood.

Burgers are good but pricey. Service is SLOOOOOWWWW. Expect to wait 30-45 min if there is no line and at least an hour if there is a line. Restrooms look like a crime scene. Soda is watered down. Staff is friendly but they will screw up your order. Mac nut shrimp is 90% batter and 10% shrimp. Fries are very greasy and LOTS of pepper not the best I've had.

I love Kahuku Grill! :) ... it has a very relaxed atmosphere with surfing videos on for entertainment which I love to watch.

Grimm R.

I live 2 minutes driving, and 6-7 minutes walking distance from here. Let me tell you something boys-and-girls. It's good food, hands down. In a sea of shrimp trucks and one overly-abused L&L, Kahuku Grill is a godsend! It's gone through a ton of changes and owners through out the years, and once-upon-a-time in the 90's, was known as Country Kitchen. Currently, it's really dayummm good! I would advise those that have eaten here years ago, to come back and try it again, you'll taste the difference. Overall, the menu is pretty good, with some local style food, but the burgers are the real cream-of-the-crop. My number 1 recommendation to anyone, is the Twice as much Burger combo! GET it! Twice As Much combo is a juggernaut of a burger, made for hungry cannibals like me, and it get's the job done. The portions to taste ratio is superb, and tastes really good while managing to fill you up at the same time! A lot of the food is fresh here, which can be a double edged sword. Why? Well... Depending on how busy and the time of the day, your orders here can take A LONG TIME!!! I'm talking 30-50 minutes if you're really unlucky. Busiest times are late afternoons and evenings (*derp derp derp*). Watch out for wait times and long lines. My advice? CALL-IT-IN! Call in your order ahead of time. Like... WAY ahead of time, around 20 minutes ahead. Infact, give yourself an extra 5 minutes because whenever I call, it's like they either have a def guy waiting to pick up your call, or they have one 4-armed goro, who's single-handedly taking orders, killing cows, and cooking burgers; slaving away in the kitchen. In other words... Keep calling til someone picks up. I know, the last paragraph sounds like a pain, but honestly the wait for the food is worth it, just be smart about when you go, and call in for take-outs if you can and beware of constant new hires of clutsy slow BYU Hawaii college students that shuffle in and out to work there, BLAH!!! To sum things up: - recomendation: Twice as much combo - Wait times for food vary and can be pretty high (30-50 minutes if you're unlucky) - busiest times: 4:00-7:30 PM - Really good food! I would have taken a star or 2 off from waiting times and some of the BYU college workers, and constantly having to call for anyone to pick up and take down my take-out order, but... The food is GOOD! Now you know... and knowing is half the battle...

the food year was good. I wasn't blown away. I got butter fish. The place was a little cramped. They had a live band that night. It was cute, fun and decent food. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop in. But if you are in the area it is worth a stop.

I was sitting in line for 30 minutes to order and then it took 30 minutes to receive our food. I guess I should be upset, shouldn't I? But the coconut macadamia shrimp was so GOOOOOOOOOD. That incredibly tasty treat quickly made my bitterness of the long wait time melt away.

Caitlin L.

I literally just walked back to work from this place, and let me tell you, I was about ready to come back here and demote Kahuku Grill after I waited over 45 minutes for my food...wait...what? You wait forever and still give a 5 star review?! Heck yes, I do, because stuff happens, sometimes customers have to wait, but it's all what you do about the wait that can turn that frown upside down! Apparently the fryer of the famous coconut shrimp was on overload...maybe I just missed a stop by a tour bus or something, but anyway...burnt oil = not so ono shrimp, right? Thus, to fix the fritzed fryer required reheating new oil resulting in a pretty long wait. We all know I suffer from low blood sugar induced rage and I was sitting there getting more and more irritated until...I'm not sure if it was the managers or the owners approached me and asked me what I ordered, then went to check on it. He came back to tell me what had happened and asked if there was anything he could do while I waited for the order. I said no, it was ok, and I genuinely did appreciate the explanation and an admission of the restaurant being in the wrong. That's more rare than my mother-in-law admitting a wrongdoing!! When my food finally did come out, they comped my lunch! How awesome is that! It's great to see customer service is still really important to some businesses! Don't worry Kahuku Grill...as bad as it is for my health...I'll still be back every time I'm working out here!

I got the twice as much combo... it was a huge burger with sliced fresh potatos. Pretty damn good! My wife got the CoCo shrimp, came with a salad with fried noodle, cranberry and walnut toppings, also amazing. Don't miss it!!! Cash only kinda a bummer but there's a bank in the lot for ATM needs.

You can get a burger a lot of places, but the one I had here was truly epic. My wife liked her fish sandwich too. We ended up going back a couple of days later to try other stuff. It was all good. The food is made to order so it can take some time. Cash only.

This is hands down, the best burger on the island. The patties are fresh, and the burgers are HUGE. I had the deep blue burger the first time around. If you like bleu cheese, you'll probably like this one. But the bleu cheese is on the strong side, so be ready! My second time around I got the cowboy burger, and it's definitely my favorite so far. Big crispy onion rings, pineapple, and BBQ sauce. So good! Also, they have an interesting take on fries. Definitely unique. They are small potato wedges, seasoned with chunky sea salt. They also have a special "fry sauce" that anyone who grew up in Utah will instantly recognize. But even with that, they've added a garnish to it to make it more fancy. These guys have really gone above and beyond to create a unique and absolutely delicious burger joint.. Which is sorely needed out here in the "country" close to the north shore. My go to burger out here used to be Teds Bakery, just up the road. I stopped by to see how their burgers compare now that I've been spoiled by Kahuku Grill. They don't even come close! Their patties are pre-made cookie cutter types you find at the grocery store, nothing like the big, juicy hand shapes patties you'll find at Kahuku Grill. Great job guys!

Karen M.

Our first visit for dinner the meals were so fantastic that we returned two more times during our brief stay. Their garlic shrimp (like the shrimp trucks next door) was delicious, as was the coconut shrimp. I had grilled fish two times and the first time it was probably the best fish I ever ate, the next time just a notch below (probably a different chef that day). Cheeseburger was the best ever, according to my sister. And the "two-scoop" rice was very good -- not plain like every place else -- had lots of flavor and we actually ate most of it! The prices were good too -- cheeseburger under $5 and the dinner plates were $10-13. And you can bring in beer or wine, so we brought in a bottle of wine for our two dinner meals. Excellent! One day I just had the Acai bowl for dessert as my lunch (don't tell Mom) . . . it has Acai berry sherbert (so rich, almost like chocolate ice cream) with granola, fresh coconut, macadamia nuts and honey drizzled over the top -- what's not to like? Big enough for four as a dessert after the meal. You can eat inside or outside, depending on the rain!

My friend insisted that we go to the Kahuku Grill for Coconut Shrimp lunch today, since I had an appointment in Hauula. She didn''t seem able to shut up about how great the shrimp was, best she has ever had, been on island for 25 years now.......... O*M*G is all I can say. We ordered and got a cup of water to wait....a few short minutes later this delicious smelling food was delivered. It is served on your standard disposable plate mounded to the breaking point with rice that is spiced just a tad on the top, fresh designer lettuce with a bit of shredded carrot and purple cabbage, just a couple of dried cranberries and a very light dressing. Then they PILE 5 HUGE coconut shrimp on top. We couldn't shut up during the entire time we were there...it was amazing. You can taste the shrimp and the coconut, sweet and fresh and hot and perfect. The owner and his son both stopped by to thank us for coming and to ask if we were happy- we gave them the fist bump with the extra pow at the end- fabulous!!!! You can eat outside or inside, but bring cash, they don't do plastic. I hear the burgers are gigantic, I will take hubby and then let you know....

Friendly workers, obviously a popular place, but definitely not for me. I thought the food was pretty bad and a little overpriced even if it had been as good as everyone kept telling me it was. Three stars for the atmosphere, minus two for the burger that was so juicy I could have squeezed the fat out like water from a sponge. Yuck.

This place is seriously so great. I love the food there! I always get different kinds of burgers and they're delicious. Sometimes they take awhile, but that's what you have to kind of expect from this type of restaurant. It's also definitely worth the wait.

Grabbed an early dinner of grilled fish and shrimp: I had the garlic, wife had coconut. Fish, while not fresh (I asked: It's basa, a Vietnamese catfish), was grilled perfectly. Coconut shrimp was sweet and the sauce pleasant. The oil could have been fresher but most people wouldn't notice. Rice tasted like it had been the cooker for quite a while. Salads were perfect. Stop first at the store next door if you need an adult beverage.

Kahuku Grill is one of the few places on this side of the island that is open for business past 5pm! That said, it is also a great place to enjoy a hearty burger, fish plate, terriyaki chicken or shrimp plate. The menu is not that extensive as I have listed all their offerings but they do each and everyone of them well. It's a hole in the wall type place but the staff is friendly and you have a mix of tourists and locals who visit throughout the day.

Awesome food! Quaint location. Went here on a tip from my sis and bro-in-law. Also got some pointers from my fellow yelpers about what to order. Hubby had the Shemp burger; he said the guacamole was the definite clincher. I could tell. He scarfed it down in about 2 minutes flat! I tried the famous Mac-coconut shrimp plate. Dayam!!! I have never come across any shrimp that I loved more than these ones, which is really saying a lot since I don't even like shrimp!!! Weird! Anyway, they were accompanied by a pile of steamed white rice and a side salad. Even the salad was good! Dipping sauce for the shrimp reminded me of the sweet and sour sauce we filipinos use for our lumpias so of course, it went perfectly with the crispy, golden-fried shrimp. Nonetheless, we had 2 awesome plates of food. We'll definitely come back again whenever we hit up the North Shore on our future visits.

After my Yelp review, I was contacted by the folks at Kahuku Grill and they wanted to apologize for my meal. Props for the follow-up! I'll be sure to stop by again when I'm in the North Shore area (maybe in May).

Coconut shrimp bring us back. At times slightly over cooked, but the flavors are wonderful. Nice side salad too. Service at 8pm was good and fast.

The shem burger and coconut shrimp were delicious. The staff were very friendly and service was quick. The side salad was really good and not your standard house salad.

Chris F.

Food was great!! The fish burger is my favorite - tastes like a double-double but with fresh fish. Get ready to be a little messy to eat the kalbi ribs, but the salad is light, tasy and refreshing. Food as a little on the salty side, but overall thumbs up.

What the hell is wrong with this place?? They dont have shrimp half the time you come here! FYI their special is freaking shrimp!! Came here twice and both times they were telling everyone they dont have shrimp just burgers. The burgers were flavorful and very good. The second time I ordered the chicken and fish plate which was also pretty good. Just don't come here expecting to get their famous coconut or garlic shrimp. The cashier was all over the place confused and it looked like her first day. Not good!

We stayed at Turtle Bay and wanted to avoid the overpriced restaurants in the hotel and enjoy the reasonably priced local dining options. The cashier was patient and friendly. Food and environment were good. Note, they only take cash. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp, Fish Plate, Teriyaki Burger, and Fish Sandwich. All were very fresh. The plates come with rice and a fresh salad with a homemade vinaigrette while the sandwiches/burgers come with fries. The Coconut shrimp was very good and if you are in the mood for a sweet dinner, this is the one for you. The fish plates were salty, but the saltiness mixed good withe the sweet vinaigrette and was neutralized with the rice. Good thing that they had lots free water. Overall, we suggest that anyone who is looking for reasonable prices and delicious food that is not overflowing with tourists should try this restaurant.

Exceptional food!! The coconut and macadamia nut shrimp was awesome! Best shrimp on the island. The cheeseburgers were also incredible! As good as In-N-Out burgers from the mainland. Us New Mexicans truly enjoyed and will be returning!

Yummy food but far too long of a wait to place orders...apparently the kitchen stopped taking orders because of fries being backed up. Orders didn't come out together for our party, they lost the second ticket!? sad face because not even at capacity. And then there was the dead cockroach on floor next to our table inside.

I'm not sure why the Kahuku Grill has a 5-star rating... My husband and I prefer eating at local places when vacationing, so we decided to check out the Kahuku Grill based on the wonderful reviews it had. We went on a Friday night and planned to each order a different shrimp dish because we read that it was "world famous." We were told that they were out of shrimp because they had been slammed. It was just after 7 PM. Any company claiming to have "world famous" anything should not run out of what they are allegedly famous for. We ordered - my husband a burger with grilled pineapple, and I the grilled fish, rice and salad. Forty-five minutes later we still did not have our food, but the group of 5 boys in front of us had finished eating and we had seen 2 - 3 tables served that had arrived and ordered after us. We were annoyed that it was taking so long because some of the cooks came out several times to chat with a table near us. At one point, there were three people with chef aprons on that were out chatting - WHILE WE WERE STILL WAITING FOR OUR FOOD!!! When we finally went to check on the food, we learned that the waitress had just brought our food out 30 seconds before, but was calling the wrong name. (When you order, you pay up front and give them your name. When your food is ready, they walk around with it calling your name ... this doesn't work when they write your name down incorrectly.) The fish was pretty good - highly salted. The salad was my favorite part - it had dried cranberries and walnuts with a papaya dressing (I don't like papaya, but the dressing was FABULOUS). The burger (which came without pineapple, which we did pay extra for), was average. The owner did personally apologize for the mix-up, which made me feel a little better. The dessert (chocolate chip coconut banana bread chocolate sundae) was VERY GOOD. We tried this place out again the next day for lunch and ordered one plate of coconut shrimp. Thirty-five minutes later we didn't have our food (again, others who ordered after us did), and there were only three other tables, two of which had their food and had arrived and ordered after us, so we came forward. Apparently when they called "Alicia" a woman whose name is "Lisa" took our food by accident (thought she heard her name). Coincidentally, she had ordered the same thing. This was not the restaurant's fault, unless you consider that their method of bringing food to you is not efficient. The coconut shrimp was very good and I loved the dipping sauce. I cannot say whether it is the best I have ever had, because I don't eat it often, but it was definitely high on the scale. The owner chatted for a few minutes with us and seemed to genuinely care about our opinions. We suggested that he use a number system instead of calling names. Bottom line: The food was good, but not amazing. The service was sub-par, and the amount of waiting time for meals was even more sub-par. I will say, however, that maybe this NYC-metro area girl is not used to "Island time" and was expecting more than she should.

This had to be one of the most unexpected surprises of our entire trip. We made a wrong turn on our way back from the north shore and happened to stumble upon this place, and I'm so glad we did. The burger was so juicy and flavorful, I almost went back for a second. If you're in the area, or planning on staying at Turtle Bay, put this place on your to do list. The only downside was the service. I waited at the window for over 5 minutes before someone happen to walk by and acknowledge me. Once they did though, everything else was excellent.

Debbie Chiou S.

when i got there, they had j/run out of shrimp and fish, so i ended up getting the cheeseburger with avocado, mushroom, and pineapple. it was stacked high and was all deliciousness. definitely satisfying after a long day of surfing and snorkeling. oh, also, they actually forgot my order, but the waitress was so good about apologizing and supplying fries and salad while i waited, that i almost felt bad... almost... that's also the reason for the 1-star being knocked off the full score.

The Coconut Shrimp at Kahuku Grill is the BEST thing I have eaten in a while. They are made with real coconut flakes, moist, and packed with flavor. I would eat here everyday if I could! Thanks Art and family.

We arrived around 6:30pm and they had already ran out of coconut shrimp. Their menu is outdated so they don't serve kalbi anymore. I ended up getting the garlic shrimp plate which was really tasty but the $13 price tag was still a bit much. It took over 20 mins to get our food.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the seafood combo of garlic shrimp and fish. Hot, tasty and served up in a reasonable amount of time. It also came with rice and green salad. Super friendly staff. Will visit again!

Awesome cowboy burger! One of the best I've ever had. Fries and fry sauce are really good as well. I'm not a seafood guy but two of the people I went with said it was the best coconut shrimp they've ever had.

Kristin C.

The burgers here.... Are unbelievable! Best burger i've ever had! Unfortunately its fried and not grilled but when you bite into it, it's crispy on the outside but still juicy inside! (my mouth is watering right now) I would come back for more. I tried the Paniolo burger and was kinda hesitant as to the pineapple with the burger (not a fan!) but the pineapple did not bother me at all. It actually complimented the burger.... And the fries !!!! Ooooohhh! I can eat a whole basket of them. Its potatoes cut in quarters, then sliced unevenly! There are some pieces that were thick and some were thin and crispy. Seasoned with salt and other spices and with a thousand island dressing as dipping sauce! I tried the mac nut coconut shrimp... Nah! Too much coconut and i can barely even find the shrimp! Too oily and sweet. The salad was good though. Will definitely come back for the burgers... Even drive all the way here to the other side of the island! It's worth the trip

Anela L.

I think they are new... We stopped by twice while on the north shore. I didn't like the fish burger... I forgot the name of the fish but it wasn't mahi. I did however love the homemade fries with dipping sauce and the coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp were delicious. You can sit in or outside and they had a surf movie going. The salad on the shrimp dish was delicious... walnuts, red cabbage and even craisans.... and real lettuce! It looks new. I will no longer go to the shrimp trucks and make this my new stop.

David E.

An incredible find! A little off the beaten track but worth the effort. Everyone in our party had a burger and fries. Maybe next time we'll try the garlic or coconut macadamia shrimp. Anyway, the burgers are enormous and delicious. My wife and I both had the cowboy burger combo. The fries are seasoned, salted and totally yummy. The burgers are taller than anyone's mouth and as good as a burger gets. You might have to stand in line a while to order and it is cash only but that's a small price to pay. Don't miss this one on your drive around Oahu.

Coconut shrimp are sooooo good. Just order them. A little pricey($12.00) for 6 shrimp, but very very yummy.

John P.

If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!! I was BLOWN AWAY by the best and most MASSIVE coconut shrimp I have ever seen/tasted! The fish they serve with it on the combo is so light and tasty it melts in your mouth. The salad is super as well, with optional grilled pineapple tidbits mixed in. Incredible value. Owner was very nice and super attentive. Waitress (Ashley) was also sweet, attentive & helpful! I took pictures of my food there and everyday wish I could go back there to eat. I tried to go the next night after the night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), but it ended at 9, right as the Kahuku Grill was closing at 9. I sure wish they stayed open till 10, to catch a dinner after a visit to the PCC. While visiting Hawaii, I would eat 3 meals a day at this place if I could. Sorry for rambling, but good food is important to me, and this food is very special! You can't regret going to Kahuku Grill. BEST EVER!!!!

I loved the coconut shrimp!!!!!! I tasted the garlic lovers shrimp and that was amazing too! It got a little loud as the night went on but it was great food. Over all it was a good place to eat and I would recommend it!

Awesome plates and true Hawaiian style! Best coco shrimp on North Shore. Great place to get full on good eats for good price. You can sit or take it with you. Outdoor seating and some inside tables too, but don't expect anything high-end. It's just great food at a good price and you'll be happy you ate here, I promise! Try the burger or the plates. I LOVED the spare ribs and the chicken.

Hard to write a review when by the time we arrived at 7:00 p.m. to grab dinner they were out of everything except the hamburger, including their purported special, coconut shrimp. This place is SURROUNDED by shrimp farms; how could it possibly be out of shrimp?

Cheryl B.

We live right down the road and about 2 months ago I went for my first time, since then we've been going back regularly. I usually order the homemade veggie burger w/ salad (Pupukea greens, walnuts, craisins, red cabbage, shredded carrots) and my husband orders the cheeseburger w/ fries. Of course I steal a few of his fries, he gets a ton of them and they're baked w/ herbs and seasonings and come w/ a yummy dipping sauce. Every time we recommend this place to our out of town guests, they come back w/ rave reviews on just about everything on the menu.

The perfect Hawaii casual grill. Phenomenal teriyaki chicken, great coconut shrimp, nice burgers, all served on paper plates with a smile. Feed a family of four for about $30. Can't be beat for a no frills meal.

Karen S.

Bypass the shrimp trucks...the food here is amazing!!! Try the coconut shrimp. Fresh, succulent shrimp with a superbly done light, crispy coconut breading. Not into shrimp? Opt for the fish plate. Again, fresh, local, perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned for a mouthwatering treat unlike any other fish plate you will enjoy on the island. Both the shrimp and fish plate are served with fresh, local green salad (and not just the green - they throw in shredded carrots, cranberries, shredded cabbage and crispy fried noodles drizzled with the perfect dressing) and rice just the way we locals like it. And if you're into burgers -- these are, broke da mouth, ONO! REAL meat. Fresh, locally grown beef and grilled to perfection. Burgers are accompanied by homemade (seriously???? Who takes the time to do this anymore?) french fries. Generous servings and everything is made to order. Served by friendly folks full of Aloha spirit. My favorite place to eat on Oahu. P.S. Save room for Peggy's homemade banana bread for dessert. After this meal, you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!!!

This week we traveled Hawaii via Yelp and our stomachs. The Kahuku Grill sits adjacent to the Kahuku Sugar Mill, Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck, and Wili Wili's Shaved ice. We fortunately stumbled upon this shrimp shack mistakenly while looking for a different shrimp shack. It was the best decision we made this entire week and we have been back multiple times. We ordered the Classic Garlic Lover's Shrimp and the Seek's Pesto Burger. Yes, a burger is not a shrimp dish, but even still, it was addictively delicious. Adorned with mushrooms, generously smeared with pesto, and topped with a garlic toasted bun, this burger put every other meat dish this week to shame. As for the Garlic Lover's Shrimp, we do not praise easily. Giovanni's submerged the shrimp past recognition in butter. The Shrimp Shack painfully overloaded the garlic - difficult to do by my Sicilian wife's standards, by the way. Most importantly, they deveined their shrimp meaning no shrimp intestines flossing your teeth during lunch. The balance of garlic and butter on perfectly grilled shrimp made for a deliciously light meal paired with a huge helping of rice and fresh side salad. Even with this being the best meal we've had (more than once) this week, the service has been something to willingly return for. The waitresses are delightful and kind - which has, surprisingly, been difficult to find this week at other establishments. We were chatting with the servers and they asked what brought us to Hawaii. Upon finding out that we were here for our honeymoon, they brought us ice cream to congratulate us during our most recent visit. Kahuku's Grill has been our favorite spot this week and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

I came here for lunch while vacationing on the North Shore. I NEVER eat burgers and had one here - wow, it was amazing! I had the Cowboy burger with onion rings, pineapple, bacon, avocado... and about 15 other ingredients on it, so good. Tried the cheeseburger too, which clearly paled in comparison. We had the crazy fries which were really delicious and covered in a delicious mayo-y sauce. My only complaint is the wait. For a burger and fries, we waited 20+ minutes! Eek, I know we're on "island time" but they should pick up the pace a bit to keep folks coming back.

Kasey R.

Skip Giovanni's shrimp truck across the street and go to Kahuku instead! Their coconut Mac nut shrimp, perfect. Seasoned rice that comes with it, perfect. The side salad that also comes with it, perfect. The only downside is the wait can be hefty, there is no longer inside seating, and outside seating is limited. Their hamburgers are also pretty good! My granma races about the white fish and is a must stop when she comes into town!

Kelvin L.

We went there after our soccer game in Kahuku. When I ordered, they had an IdCard sticker on their menu. So I busted out mine thinking a discount is a bonus. They had no clue. No discount wasn't an issue. The food took 40 minutes or so for one plate lunch and three burgers! Monkeys were sick of the wait and wanted to just leave. Everyone that ordered after us were already eating or done. There was apparently an issue with the fish. Think they remade it. But then, the coconut shrimp that looked light and crispy on the orders we kept watching go by were chewy soggy lumps because they were probably done much earlier and sat waiting for the fish. And I couldn't taste teriyaki sauce on the teriburgers. The owner or manager shook my hand, but that is not enough to offset the way too long wait and lousy food quality. The fish tasted great though. Don't think I will be back. And don't think my wife and kids will let me take them there again.

I had the Shem bacon guacamole burger. It was so greasy and hard to eat. Very messy. The grilled onions in them didn't help the messiness or the flavor. The fries were thick potato slices which would have been a little better without a ton of salt. The sauce it came with was good though. My boyfriend got the cowboy burger which he thought was alright. Nothing special. Messy and soggy. We also got the macadamia coconut shrimp for my mom which was way too sweet to enjoy. She pretty much took the crust off and just ate the shrimp. I probably wouldn't have came here if the reviews weren't high for the area and I was disappointed sadly. It was a waste of money since we threw most of it away.

Kahuku Grill is fantastic! We came here a little past 11 on a Saturday and happened to just beat the lunch rush. I read reviews about the food sometimes taking a while to come out because it's made fresh to order and this place is a popular food spot. Lucky for us, there was no waiting in line and our food was ready in about 15 minutes. I couldn't resist getting their seafood combo so that I could try both their famous coconut mac nut shrimp and their garlic shrimp. You get three coconut mac nut shrimp (they are big!) and five garlic shrimp with the combo. The garlic shrimp was good but the coconut mac nut shrimp totally kicked its butt! The latter was incredibly delicious--the crust was perfectly crispy and was such a perfect match for the sweet chili sauce. The shrimp and fish plates come with a mixed pupukea green salad (you can add avocado, pineapple, bacon, and mushrooms to the salad for $1 each). I got my salad with avocado and the dressing was nice and light. I got to try bites of bacon and guacamole from the Shem's Big Bad Burger and a bite of the grilled fish plate and everything was delicious! Next time I am back on this side of the island, I definitely want to come back for more!

Riccardo C.

This place was AMAZE!!!! Do not go to north Shore without trying this place! The fries are hands down the best part. But that's not to say the Bruce Irons burger that I had (pretty sure it started with bruce) wasn't amazing and huge because it was. Come here and you will not be disappointed. ..I have no pictures of it because I didn't waste time to devour it! EAT HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT...IN FACT YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF FOR LISTENING TO.ME ; )

Reid I.

We were heading to the beach on the North Shore and looking for a place to eat. We already passed Haleiwa town and there was a lot of traffic so we didn't want to turn around. We decided on a place but found out it was closed. So we continued to drive to Kahuku. The food trucks across the street wasn't to my liking so we decided on Kahuku Grill. I always see the sign passing by and wanted to eat here one day. I ordered the Paniolo Burger which is a cheeseburger that has onion rings, bacon, bbq sauce, and pineapple with crazy sauce. I added on the crazy fries. We waited about 15-20 minutes but it was well worth it. This was delicious and worth the price. I would have given it another star or even two but when ordering my food I gave them an entertainment book card. The cashier took 10 minutes to try and figure how to enter it in their computer, which I was okay with. She called the owner and asked about it. The owner said that they will not accpet it. And was upset that Kahuku Grill was put into the entertainment book without their knowledge. I would think the owner would still honor it because its not my fault that the coupon is in there. It's between the owner and the book and not the customers. It's like a free advertisement for them. But all in all it is a good place to eat at.
(3)
Dawn L.

I'm REALLY torn on this one. I'm giving them 3-stars PURELY based on the employees and their attentiveness and obvious hard work. But some things are broken about this place and we were pretty annoyed. First, we only stopped here because there is a coupon in our Entertainment Book: $5 off $20 purchase or more. We've never been here before because the shrimp truck that shares the same parking lot is my hands down favorite that I've eaten at for 20 years. When we got there, there was a sign at the window that said "BE BACK IN 15 MINS--LUNCH BREAK." (Strike 1) I was pretty shocked. I saw probably 5 or 6 employees around and didn't understand why they all took their break at the same time. So I waited. Fifteen minutes later, a man came to the window and said they were still closed but asked what I wanted and he would start cooking at least. He said the servers could ring me up when they got back. He explained that they had been slammed all day--um still not sure why the breaks weren't tapered out instead of all at once but whatever. I appreciate his willingness to help us--I had two hungry kids and a hungry husband with me and it was already 2 PM. When the girl came back to the window, I went back to pay for my food. Took my coupon and she quickly dismissed it, saying "We don't take that because the person who put it in the book wasn't authorized." (Strike 2) WHAT?!?! So I wasted all my time and my money basically when I could have been at the shrimp truck instead? Had the nice man not already taken my order, I would have cancelled everything. But at this point, he was bringing our food out from behind the kitchen. The servers work hard to keep the tables clean while the feral chickens work hard to mess them up. The girls also have genuine conversations with tourists and locals that enjoy their lunches there. So, for the noticeable effort made by the staff, I'm leaning high and giving them 3 stars. But they have kinks that need to be worked out before I would ever consider a return visit.

Aron N.

A solid 4 stars! A simple order at counter and sit outside place to eat. The thing is, you cannot see this place from the outside easily. There's a gas station and market and behind both is Kahuku Grill and Fiji Market. Kahuku grill is on the left and Fiji market is on the right in back. I ordered the basa fish sandwich and it was delicious. The fish was fresh and the bun was great. A little sloppy eating because the tomato inside was so juicy and the lettuce was cut a little too big. They also have unusual sliced potatoes instead of fries. They cut the potato in half then slice them thin and fry them, then generous amounts of salt finish it off. Some of the potatoes were overcooked, but overall they were great! The fish sandwich was under $9 and came with a drink. Awesome! Will go again! I heard the shrimp is fantastic!

Jim M.

Burgers are pretty good and are loaded with fixings so they tend to fall apart; I had the Shem's which was loaded with guacamole, couple slices of bacon, American cheese & thick sliced tomatoes. The fries were hand cut but pretty oily; not a fan of the special sauce. Given quality of burger I would try them again when visiting the North Shore area.
(3)
Eric I.

Let's start with there is no indoor seating. There at picnic tables with umbrellas outside where you can eat with the chickens, roosters, and feral cats if that stuff is your sort of thing. It is located behind the gas station. Yes, you eat outside next to a gas station with cats, roosters, and chickens. Sound lava lot like typical north shore eating The burgers were ok. The buns were ok. The fries were unique and ok. Employees were nice; however nice employees with poor environment and ok food equals two stars. If you are in high school this is probably fine.

Dana M.

The first time I tried this place was amazing. The coconut shrimp is beyond that of anywhere else, the salad is amazing, and he portion is huge. The second time I came here, some of the coconut shrimp was extremely undercooked, transparent even. However, we told them about it and they fried us up some more. In my opinion, it tastes much better when it's a little overcooked (dark brown), because that way the coconut shavings and the macadamia nuts are able to infuse more of their flavor.

Maurizio B.

This is the second time that we come here. This place gets 3 stars no for the food but for the slow service . The staff was very friendly and nice but we stay in line waiting to order for 30 min with four people in front of us. The cashier was wondering around, taking plates to the tables. Picking up from the tables, and taking drinks to the kitchen .... After another 15 min of being there we finally got the food. Food was really tasty. Make sure you have a lot of patience....

Came here because it was one of the only places that was open after 6:30. We ordered a couple of burgers and some garlic shrimp plates. It took forever to take our order! One counter person who was taking orders, bussing tables, waitressing, and also looked like she was either helping cooking or prepping stuff in the kitchen as well. She was friendly and did apologize for the wait. The shrimp plate comes with 7 shrimps, salad, and rice for $13. It was ok, but would go to others nearby. The Bruce burger was supposed to be drenched in teriyaki sauce and grilled onions, but was very tasteless. The other cheeseburger was also had no flavor. I would not come back- just try eating dinner earlier or get take out for later

This place is fantastic! The owner came out, he said he runs this restaurant with his wife and 7 boys. They have opened other locations under a different name (7 brothers). Great family business and great food. I got the cowboy burger and wasn't disappointed. I'm not a fan of shrimp, but those on my table that got it said it was great.

After snorkeling at Shark's Cove I took my family and friends that just moved back from Belgium to Kahuku Grill. My friend wanted to eat garlic shrimp but that wasn't the kids deal so we came here since they also have other options. We ordered the garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, basa fillet, and pesto burger. Everything was seasoned just right and hit the spot. Their home fries are to die for too! Highly recommended. Great food in a kick back atmosphere!

We read about this place before coming, we arrive on our mopeds about 5 minutes before they're supposed to open to find a sign that reads "we're opening an hour late today." Major bummer but since it's raining we wait it out and boy are we glad we did! We shared the Fire in Paradise burger which had pineapple and jalapenos, we got the combo which came with salad and fries. Even the salad and fries were exceptional. Quaint little area to sit and watch the chickens, would love to come back one day!

I give them 5 stars because everything was absolutely perfect. I ordered the Shem burger. It has guacamole, and bacon. A little messy, but that's what made it so much better! And the fries were different from the average fry but exceeded in taste. The customer service and wait time were wonderful. I had to wait about 10 min? The only thing really wrong were the chickens. But only because I'm scared of chickens

Local restaurant has amazing coconut shrimp and great burgers my personal favorite is the Shem burger super good and open late which is awesome for this side of the island

Good food, love their desserts. They are always out of their desserts, and their service is beyond terrible. I tried taking my family here to eat and the girl who was our cashier was really rude; furthermore, we waited 45 min in line just to find out they couldn't take anymore orders for another 25-30 min. Maybe not all workers, but the ones I've met every time have poor customer service

The food here is prolly one of the best tasting in Kahuku. The fish filet plate is kinda pricey but well worth it. The only draw back is the waiting for your food because they only have one cashier and server. It's hella hot in the summer time dress cool.

Michelle L.

The deep blue burger is amazing... Bleu cheese, bbq sauce, and bacon mm hmmm!! Must get it with their homemade potatoes and special sauce. Love coming here to satisfy a hearty craving, but as someone who loves salt even I can say that at times the salt can be overwhelming...but not on all occasions. Their other restaurant/partner Seven Brothers seems to manage salt content better.

OMG! These burgers are amazing! So flavorful! The fries are incredible too! If you are ever in Oahu... You must stop here! You will not be disappointed

The best coconut shrimp I've ever tasted! If you're driving on Kamehameha and you're on the way to North Shore, this place is the perfect pit stop. The portions are huge compared to other shrimp places, and the food is always cooked fresh. It's worth the wait, and I recommend it to both locals and tourists. It's got a real farm fresh vibe to it as you may spot a few chickens or stray cats as you sit down to eat. Don't worry though, the animals are pretty tame and probably won't try to steal a bite of that scrumptious coconut shrimp!

Rodney R.

Fish and shrimp plate was AMAZING. One of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. Unfortunately we had to wait about an hour before we got our food, but it was well worth it. The line is slow and the food is made fresh so don't expect "fast food". Staff was very friendly and apologized for the wait.

The absolute best coconut macadamia shrimp on the planet! Burgers are really great too! You have NJ fans forever!

Grilled fish plate + garlic shrimp combo is delish! So good, I had to ask what is in their seasoning so I can replicate this at home (assuming it's just as good on fish other than their balsa). Rice was tasty, and the pupukea salad with added grilled pineapple & avocado beautifully rounded out the plate. Their fryer was down the day we went, so we couldn't try the signature coconut mac nut shrimp.

Hidden T.

We drove here after visiting turtle bay resort. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp is a must since it said is world best. I went there around 4:45 in the afternoon. Waited 30 minutes because they have to prep for dinner. Then another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. We also order a burger with half salad and fries. Over all the food quality is pretty good. One thing I would say is the food are less hot than expected. I would think that the rice from the shrimp dinner plate should be hot since it should be coming from a rice cooker. But when I take the first bite. It was just warm. So I wonder if my dinner plate has been left out on the counter while we waited for 30 minutes for food. I would definitely suggest this place if the food was hotter. May be I was just unlucky this time since most Yelp reviews were positive.

This place is fantastic! The portions are HUGE, the fish and shrimp are so fresh! The burgers are gigantic and the service was great!!! When you're on the north shore, you really should try this place!!!!! Yummy!

My boyfriend and I went to this place late night for a quick meal of a sandwich and shrimp. The service was quick and this place was really cheap. The girl working there was so sweet and made the atmosphere very fun. HIghly recommend this place and wish I could go back!
(5)
Nick W.

The food is cooked fresh so be prepared to wait for it. Especially if there are a couple of larger groups ahead of you. But it's worth the wait. The staff is friendly and helpful. And they have on site entertainment in the form of live chickens and cats running around. Over all a good place to stop and eat. Especially if you don't want to pay resort prices.

Travis A.

Wait is VERY long. Waiting a whole hour from the time I got in line till I got my food. About 30 minutes for each. Food was alright. Not worth the wait

Taylor C.

I've been here once (will go again), but my review is mixed. I got there at about 3:30pm on a Friday (was not super busy), there were probably 5 people in front of me in line. The order counter was SO SLOW. there was one girl working. She was taking orders and running out the food that was ready, so it took twice as long. Then I get up almost to the front of the line & they stopped taking orders because their "grill was full"... What??? How is your grill full!? Couldn't they at least take the orders then put them on the grill when I spot came open? So I don't have to stand here for 30 min in the blazing hot sun? I literally waited 40 minutes in line. And it was SO HOT. I was not happy. Then waited about 20 min for my food. So I waited a total of an hour (not exaggerating at all). However, the food was amazing. We had the coconut shrimp & the Deep Bleu Burger with fries. I'm not sure if I just went on a bad day or what was going on, but this is not the place to go if you're looking for a quick meal.

I have given Kahuku Grill a 2nd try. I don't recommend it at this point, and I hate that I feel this way because I am local, and so is this restaurant. 1st try: I came last month for some peanut butter rolls after dinner at home. Everyone on yelp says that they're peanut butter rolls are good. I went in and bought a few plates of them. Only to go home and find them small, dry, old, and just not good. It tasted as if they had them for a few days in the refrigerator and warmed them up to order. 2nd Try: I came with friends for burgers and fries. The fries and sauce are good, but I had a bad experience with the burger. First off I ordered my burger with NO LETTUCE, and I clearly seen that there was huge pieces of lettuce sticking out. So as I opened my burger to take out the lettuce, I noticed that the lettuce was old and brown. It made me angry to think that they serve this to people. My friends tell me to give this place another try, but after spending all that money that day on everyone's food and getting that disgusting pieces of lettuce I have yet to see. I just don't want to dislike this place more than I do already.

Candy T.

Pros: hidden local gem! Prices are decent. Cons: the local chickens are aggressive and need to go (or cook them)! Not organized when it comes to people's orders. Not good for groups (food will not come out on time). Wait time is horrific. Restaurant: It's not a restaurant people! It's more of a fast food vendor truck. Tables are dirty as if they've never been wiped. The chickens roaming around, they add the dirtiness. Chickens are aggressive and jump on your table eating your food?? Ok, place to dine at. Preferred to eat somewhere else next time.

Alejandro D.

Manager needs to train cashier to take orders. Cashier should not step away and start cleaning tables. Especially when there is a line of more than 10 people. A 30 minute wait to find out there is no coconut shrimp.
(1)
Emma G.

Let's talk about this place. I could eat the coconut shrimp all day long, it's sweet from the coconut, nutty from the macadamia, and the sweet chili sauce adds the tiniest bit of spice for the tastiest shrimp on the north shore. The fish plate is tasty, as is the garlic shrimp and really, anything you order. The decor is adorable, with family photos covering the wall you really feel like family here. Good food, great people, this place is a MUST.
(5)
Nicole B.

I waited 25 minutes to be helped. Then my cheeseburger came out to me a long time after with a moldy bun and dirty lettuce. I waited 10 more minutes in line to show the girl taking orders....Then waited 20 more minutes for them to fix it. No joke. I waited a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes to get my food and wolfed it down in 5 minutes. It gets two stars because the hamburger was good and the girl taKing the orders was pleasant. I will never go here again.
(2)
Becky K.

If you are on the Northsore you have to try the famous shrimp. You walk up to the outdoor counter to order then you can sit outside or inside. I got the coconut shrimp which came with salad and rice. It was delicious. My husband got the guacamole burger which he enjoyed. Very friendly service.
(5)
Connor R.

Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. trust me I don't say that everyday. the fish we got was huge. the fries are to die for with their special sauce. people working their were super chill. This place is everything you would want out of a North Shore food joint
(5)
S J.

Huge portions, inventive menu. The macadamia - coconut shrimp were the best of many coconut shrimp on that trip. Lovely coating on large butterflied shrimp. The burgers are good and can come with interesting toppings. It is prone to line-ups, but one can order ahead.

Danny C.

Coconut shrimp is not bad. That sums up the whole restaurant. Garlic shrimp is meh. I think it's over hyped and over priced. Don't think I will come back again. It's just not worth the price.
(2)
Jeff H.

The atmosphere of this little grill next to a gas station was a lot cooler then we had expected based on first sight. The variety on the menu was great for being a roadside grill. The atmosphere seemed very fitting for the area and the food was awesome. We had the coconut shrimp and the "cowboy" burger and they were both better than expected. It seems this place is affiliated with seven brothers burgers which is also another awesome restaurant.
(4)
Janet L.

The gal taking our order was super friendly and patient. The servings of rice, shrimp and salad were plentiful. I would have liked the shrimp more garlicy. The shrimp sticks to the shell, so peeling is a chore. Salad had good ingredients but had WAY too much dressing so ask for it on the side. The rice was basmati, I think and very good as well. The burgers look awesome but I avoid red meat. If you're a burger fan, you might want to try one. There were only a couple of feral cats around and they weren't a nuisance.

This place is wonderful..great garlic shrimp and the basa fish was great...their house salad is interesting, fresh greens, sliced almonds and cranberrys...nice touch.. The people who work there are very friendly.. there is a cute Shave Ice place next-door but we were to full...maybe next time... Thank- you Kahuku Grill...we will be back...totally worth the trip from town...
(5)
Daniel L.

The service is friendly and the food is quite good. Burgers are large and the fish basket is delicious.. Fish was served over warm rice and comes with a nice salad. Fish was tender and tasty yet not too salty. What also impressed us was their ability, interest and care to correct problems. We pointed out a serious issue and it was.taken care of extremely well. Problems do occur but how you handle them says a lot.
(4)
Keith U.

Would have been a 5 if the service was faster. Phoned in order at 540pm, was told it would take 25 min, got there at 605pm, had a long line waiting to order, I go in and tell a worker that I had a phone order and she tells me to wait in the line, after about 10 mins and the line didn't move at all, I go back in, finally the owner comes to me and I tell him my story and he apologizes, I don't even think my food was cooking yet! I finally get my food at 635pm, 55 mins after I made the order!!! But the burger was delicious!!! Not sure I would go back again because of the long wait I had, but I won't definitely rule it out.

I really enjoy the coconut macadamia nut shrimp and potato wedges. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to grab some food to go and take it to one of the north shore beaches for a little picnic.

Ryan H.

I have to say Kahuku Grill has really upped their game since the last time I wrote a review. They have more menus items including fresh salads, burgers, fries, shrimp, and fish. They also offer seasonal deserts and take into consider dietary considerations. They take the time to make proper food. While it's casual, it's not "fast food" as everything is made to order.
(5)
Tami R.

Food was amazing. I got Shem's Big Bad Burger.... it was messy but tasty and juicy. My son loved the grilled fish sandwich. My husband loved the paniolo (cowboy) burger. It was so big but he took the onion rings out to eat separately just to fit it in his mouth. The fries are different but very good and have a nice seasoning on them. It comes with a dipping sauce, but it wasn't our thing. This food is a must eat. But don't eat here expecting luxury. There is very little inside seating and there was no air so we were so hot. If we sat outside with a small breeze we sat in the sun and that was worse. Next time I would grab it and go, or even eat it in the car.

Hans B.

The BEST Coconut shrimp on the planet.. Also try the grilled Basa fish and rice !!! Great place and the burgers looked great will have try that next!! However there are better places for Garlic shrimp on the North Shore!!
(5)
Kia H.

I don't even know what to say about this place. It was phenominal. They don't have a large menu, but everything they do is amazing. The coconut shrimp might be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth, and their fresh home cut fries are amazing. The burger, the Salad dressing (which they made without carrots for me, I'm allergic), even the rice was noteworthy. Fantastic.
(5)
Marissa W.

This place was incredible!! The Cowboy Burger is literally the best burger I've ever eaten! Went around 3 so the wait was short, staff was very friendly! I'm just sad that my Hawaiian vacation is almost over so I don't have time to come back for another!!

I ate here my first night in Hawaii and didn't have better food the rest of the trip. I'm pretty sure all the angels in heaven survive on a steady diet of Kahuku garlic shrimp when they're not playing tag or rocking out on the harp or whatever the hell they do up there because it is amazing. I ordered it both times and it did not disappoint. Everyone in my group loved the food they ordered. They were busy both times but the service was fast. We only waited like 15 minutes for our food. I will for sure come eat here again if I make it back to Hawaii.

Susanne M.

Yum. Delicious, and BEST fries ever (and...I'm serious! I had the deep blue burger which has bacon blue cheese Swiss cheese and special sauce. Everyone we had a fantastic experience. It's a cool little local spot a great place to stop for lunch. There is a shave ice right next door to it that is fantastic as well.

Russell S.

Took my wife and two teenage kids to eat here on a trusted friend's recommendation. We had the Paniolo burger, the Shem's Bacon burger, and the teri burger. The burgers were good. Real bacon and giant onion rings on the Paniolo, and real bacon and guacamole thicker than the burger patty. Very flavorful and not outrageously priced. Would return for the burger. However, the service was very lacking. If you upgrade the burgers to a combo they typically come with fries and salad. All of us ordered combos with just salad. All orders arrived with fries and salad. Not a big deal. We ordered the teri burger plain, just the patty and bun. It came to our table with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and house sauce. We asked the staff to take it back, which they did very politely and apologetically, but after a few minutes, they returned with a replacement teri burger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a slow to steady flow of customers so it wasn't like the cooks were slammed. Good burger at a solid price, but less than average service.

Brian P.

Love the food but I stood in a line with only two small groups in front of me for 20 minutes while the staff neglected to take anyone's order. Bummed I was looking forward to the coconut shrimp.

M K.

Long lines. Quite a wait. But your taste buds and belly will guaranteed be happy. Coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp = perfection squared! Ask them to pour the garlic butter on your rice for an adventure. Pop the tums pre-meal or suffer the post-meal heartburn. Beware you will overeat.
(5)
Marci B.

The food is pretty good but the location and service is terrible. Usually we frequent kahuku grill whenever we are on that side but this last time we were so disappointed we left before even ordering. The girl taking our order was too busy flirting with the guys ahead of us to pay us any attention and then informed us the kitchen was behind so she wouldn't be able to take our order for awhile. It appears that the staff never cleans. Tables are always sticky and the stray cats and chickens aggressively try to eat your food and are quite a bother. And don't even get me started on the bathroom they offer, which is frequented more by homeless people than patrons of the restaurant. Their food is not worth the filth, terrible service and annoyances that come with it The charm of aloha doesn't require the filth and stench that hangs over this place

Kuhuku Grill has been a regular stop for me on the north shore for almost 5 years. Sadly, I'm done with you Kuhuku Grill. You can find coconut macadamia nut fried shrimp a lot of different places on Oahu without waiting 1 hour or more just to order and then 45 more minutes for your food. We left that disorganized ordering queue behind to have a nice meal in old Haliewa. We came back the next day to give Kuhuku Grill another chance, only to be TURNED AWAY BY THE STAFF due to a "reservation". Seriously? How does a restaurant shut down to the public for 2 hours for a reservation? And then they tried to send me to their "other" location 3 miles away that doesn't serve seafood. LAME! If you happen to roll into this place on a good day with no wait, you're lucky. Otherwise don't bother stopping, the food is good but not worth the wait.

Aileen A.

The only bad thing I can say about this place is they need a trash bin nearby & and extra bathroom. All the food was delicious. Make sure to add the extras (like avocado and bacon to your salad). The Crazy Fries are great, too!
(5)
John D.

Love this place. Very casual. Great burgers and fish. Yes you will have to wait a bit for the food but it is worth it. My favorite is the Shem Big Bad Burger - so good. The portions are great. Love the salad dressing. The place is a local favorite. There are outdoor tables as well as an indoor area. You pay for your food first then they will deliver to your table. Definitely a place to go if staying in the North Shore area.

Jen G.

First of all the food here is amazing. I've been here 3 times and haven't had anything I didn't like. I've tried the shrimp plate, one of the burgers (don't remember which one), the fish plate, peanut butter rolls, chocolate chip banana bread, and Seth's crazy fries. The fish plate was my favorite... A mild white fish seasoned nicely. Plates come with a salad and seasoned rice which is also very tasty. They also have homemade fries which are more of a deep fried potato (way better than regular French fries IMO). The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because 2 out of the 3 times I've been there it has taken a really long time for the kitchen to get our food out. One time I think they forget to make mine altogether because my husband was finished eating by the time mine arrived. You order at the window and they give you a card to place on your table then the staff brings your food when it's ready. There is seating indoors and outdoors however it's a fairly small place with very few seats inside. The staff is always very friendly.

Kristen D.

Well, we came here last time we visited Oahu in 2012 and I remembered it to be really good. This time though the food was a little lesser. You get plenty with the sides, and the people were very friendly. But there are only a couple coconut shrimp in the platter (maybe 6!) which seems a little small for a meal. The burgers were ok overall but the buns kinda take away from them. They are rough and fall apart if you get any toppings. I had the cowboy burger and ended up having to eat it with a knife and fork. The BBQ sauce I would recommend getting in the side bc it overwhelms the sandwich and is part of the reason the bun falls apart. Better buns would make a huge improvement for the sandwiches! I love the ambiance and location is convenient if you're on the north shore. Wouldn't drive up from Honolulu for this though. Hope they can fix these things bc it's a cute place with nice people and a great atmosphere. The taste was pretty good but with tweaks it could be a real gem.

Wil J.

I love this place! The burgers are great and the atmosphere is great. The coco shrimp is my fav and I've never had a bad meal here. This place is great for kids / they love it! Probably because shaved ice is next door haha!

Kahuku Grill is one of the local eateries of Kahuku, other than the typical shrimp trucks. Kahuku Grill is known for their coconut macadamia fried shrimp but normally I order the Paniolo (Cowboy) Burger. It's a regular hamburger but is topped with grilled pineapple, onion rings, and barbecue sauce. The burger is always fresh and the flavor combinations are very good. I do however on my recent visit in August 2014 dislike the smell of the outside patio area. Something smells very foul and needs to be cleaned up. All in all, Kahuku Grill is a very good place to come if you are visiting the North Shore and want to skip the long lines for the shrimp trucks.

Val B.

You walk up to a counter and order your food. You take your number and sit where ever you like. Seating indoors and outdoors. Love love love their fish salad. They had this awesome vineagarette. Salad came with dried cranberries. That was a nice touch. I got up sold on avocado and grilled pineapple. The fish was a huge portion. I had enough food for left overs. They have delish potato spuds. A side order is huge. With some secret sauce. So Ono. Service is awesome. They took our rubbish. The servers walked around to make sure the customers were happy. The ambiance is nice. Food came out in a timely manner.
(5)
Crystal B.

If you visit North Shore this is the place to stop and eat. Every single thing I tried on the menu was delicious. I highly recommend the coconut shrimp which is probably the best I've tasted. Big pieces of shrimp, crispy coconut try perfection with a delicious spicy/sweet dipping sauce. If you love burgers you will not be disappointed. They are all delicious. Fresh hand pressed patties that are seasoned to perfection. I highly recommend the Cowboy. Be warned, the burgers are huge! The thing I love the most are the fries. I don't like fries much but these are hard to pass up. The best I've ever eaten. They are seasoned so well. Wondering what they use. And they come with fry sauce which adds to the goodness. The banana bread Sunday should not be missed either. Soooo good. The service here is wonderful. Super friendly staff who go the extra mile. I will definitely be back.
(4)
Angela D.

Wow. First of all, the employees are beyond amazing. So friendly and accommodating and they ask everyone where they're from, how long they're staying on the island, etc. Friendliest service you'll get anywhere. The pesto burger: wow. That took my taste buds on a ride. I love experiencing flavor combos I've never thought of before, and after tasting it, I want to start making pesto burgers on the grill. The garlic and coconut shrimp were great; the seasoning on the rice compliments the flavors of the shrimp well, and the salad is really good. I could've actually been just fine with the shrimp on the salad and no rice. My only complaint is that the garlic shrimp was still shelled and I bit right into it :( That was unfortunate, but it was my mistake.

Justin V.

OMG grew up in Kahuku this was our hangout after school! The Burgers are Perfection. The home fries and the sauce just makes your mouth water! Other then that the service and place is highly recommended by me!
(5)
Stephanie I.

The paniolo burger is amazing. I bought it to take home and eat it but devoured the giant hamburger before arrival. So many good flavors and very juicy. Yes, it got all over me but it was worth it. This is a great place and much appreciated because there are not many good places along this stretch of the Kam. This place is just north of the area with the semi permanent food trucks, roasted corn, and open market.
(5)
Dave W.

Awesome dive, food was phenomenal, even with a little bit of a wait. Had the mac nut coconut shrimp, loved every bite. Whoever the new guy in the kitchen was did nothin short of a great job. Staff was super friendly, real homey backyard dinner feel. If your on north shore you gotta check this place out, wish I could've tried the dessert!
(5)
Darcy N.

I would say burgers are the only thing I would get here. We were there 2 weeks ago. I was disappointed in my shrimp combo. Shrimp in garlic was so over done the shell stuck to the shrimp meat. The coconut shrimp was ok not as good as food trucks. The Hamburger's my husband and daughter got looked good and they loved them. They are picky about their Burgers.
(2)
Hannah G.

It was a great experience and great food. We walked up to the window and the most friendly girl took our order. She was extremely helpful and nice. Me and my husband both ordered "Deep Blue" burgers and fries and 1 soda. The total came to $25 which is a great price and worth it! As we sat down and got out napkins, ketchup and soda the room was clean and bright. Our food came after a short wait and was GREAT! The burger was so filling, perfectly seasoned, and the fries were fantastic. My husband is still talking about it hours later. We will definitely be back! I recommend going around 11-11:30 because we left around 12 and it was getting packed to capacity.

Andrew C.

This place it's looks don't do it justice.Its got seating inside and outside and also plenty of parking. You really got too look for it it's tucked up behind a store but it's a must stop to get a excellent burger no regrets. Fast friendly service also.

This Review is for the burgers only, since I am allergic to shellfish. Had I known we were going here and there was fab shrimp, I would have brought some benadryl! Day: My girlfriend from HS is local and for our Saturday girls day away from our husbands she insisted that we head to Kahuhu Grill for some awesome food. So, after driving 45 min from Kailua, I was hungry and READY to eat! Parking: Lots of parking, not an issue at all! Seating: Open indoor seating that is air conditioned and outdoor seating as well! Some tables had umbrellas, others did not, but the breeze was fab when we went! Service: The line looked long but moved very fast. After grazing the menu/yelp I was bummed that I had no meds on me so that I could eat the shrimp! So I decided on the country burger while my GF got the cheese burger. Note that the country burger is technically just veggies on a bun with no meat but you can add a patty for $1, which i did. Food: The wait was less than 15 min but in the great atmosphere and beautiful weather it goes by fast. When the burgers come they are fresh and you can smell the toasted bun and grilled meat. The meals come to you in standard red oval plastic baskets and it doesn't look like much but don't be fooled! The fries they serve are country homestyle fries that are seasoned to perfection. You could get full off the fries alone! The burgers are delicious. Moist, tender and not overly cooked at all and topped with super fresh veggies and made with aloha :) For the amount of food you get, the price is just right. Each burger set with fries is less than $10. Thats quality food for less than $10!!! We were SO extremely full, and had no room left even though we wanted to try the banana bread!!! I was pleasantly surprised with the stop to Kahuku grill and I cant wait to go back again for the shrimp :)

Food is excellent! We've been here many times and decided to bring family this time. We went today and waited about 40 minutes in line just to order our food(only 4 people in front of us) The cashier keep leaving in between orders and would be gone for about 5-8 minutes. She would work in the kitchen and return to take an order and leave again...maybe if we came during the week, it wouldn't be so bad! Highly disappointing.

I got a tip about this place from the Laie Temple Visitor's Center staff and it was everything and more that I'd expect. The coconut macadamia nut shrimp is amazing and the salad and dressing was great. Don't forget to ask for bacon on the salad.

Excellent suggestion from some friends who are local. Insanely good food but the service was even better m Carley made our visit perfect.

I've been here three times in the last week. The garlic shrimp are fantastic. I love that it comes with a small salad and seasoned rice. If you are NOT a garlic lover, you may want to try the coconut macadamia nut shrimp. They are great as well. And of course you must get their banana chocolate chip coconut bread for dessert.. OMG it's like I died and went into dessert heaven on that one. And while the service is not fast food fast, the staff was super friendly each time I went. This place is not obvious like Giovonni's shrimp truck but keep an eye out for the blue and yellow signsA

After having bad experience in next door place where I ordered grilled and got deep fried fish, then being schooled by owner in a rude way that "this is how we grill fish" I was way too hungry and upset and headed to Kahuku grill. It was a rough start here as well as I waited about 10 mins for someone to show up and take the order. After the girl finally showed up I ordered grilled fish plate, paid with card: the cashier swiped card and handed me an iPad and asked to put tip amount on it (weird, seen this before, but how do I tip in advance?cant tell what's gonna happen especially after not such a good start) and sign it. Two things already that made me nervous. Thought the food was gonna take a while, but surprisingly it was pretty fast. The fish was perfectly seasoned and so moist and just amazing. Salad...I have dreams about this salad. What dressing do they add? Cranberries and that dressing just blew my mind. The rice was perfectly seasoned as well. My grumpy self just turned into the happiest person. This is my fav place from now on to get grilled fish. Def coming back to try shrimp and get that salad recipe.

This place is a hidden treasure. Friendly service and awesome food. A must stop when at the North Shore!

Shem's Big Bad Burger was tasty and juicy. The grilled fish sandwich was also, not typical of a grilled fish sandwich. The salad dressing was terrific. The location is behind the bank and the old sugar mill gear statue, next to the gas station. You could easily miss it.

This place rocks! My wife and I had burgers (Paniolo Burger and Shem's Big Bad Burger). Both were huge and very filling. We opted for the combo which came with home style cut potato fries and a salad. Way too much food. Definitely stop here when you're in the area.

Hands down best food I've had in Oahu so far. Expect long waits for food; ridiculously slow, but friendly service. The coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp, & banana bread are top of the list.

We've been on Oahu twice, but to Kahuku Grill probably 6 times, enough said. The coconut and garlic shrimp are great but the fact that they season their rice separate them in a world of endless north shore rice scoops. Burgers are also damn good and for the love of God get Crazy Fries. The girls working have always been really nice and recognize you when you come back

GET THE COCONUT MACADAMIA NUT SHRIMP. SO GOOD!!!! Super friendly people, a bit pricey but the taste is worth it. Because everything on the island is about this expensive. the Garlic shrimp is not as good as Ted's bakery though.

After a LONG wait, I was told that they were now defrosting the fish. Then I waited a little longer only to be told that they ran out of fish!!!!!!! Ridiculous.

Went hiking this past Friday night for one night at friends of Malaekahana and since for some apparent reason so we had to get something for me to eat dinner. And since Giovannies was closed, only other option was Mcds or Kahuku Grill. They are located behind the gas station on the side of Geovannie's shrimp truck. When we got there they were a tad busy but as soon as we ordered the line was ridiculously long...mainly with tourist. Their menu is fairly large and it looks like they cater to burgers and supposedly they have awesome fresh cut fries....which they do! Their fries is cut into thick slices and they jam pack it! it also comes with a side of sauce that reminded me of a mix of thousand island and tarter sauce. I got the fish burger combo with avocado for $1 more. My total was $8 with no drink. The fish burger was huge and the bun was soft and delicious. The burger was a perfect combination of fish, vegetables and the delicious fries went perfect with the burger! Workers there are all young and they aren't the best at customer service or delivering the food quickly but it beats eating Mcds when nothing else around is open. And they do open until 9pm and take credit cards!

We went here yesterday on a recommendation from Tim at Deep Ecology in Hale'iwa. It was easy to find (just look for the blue & yellow hand-painted sign). I had the Shem's Big Bad Burger without the sauce and bacon. It was delish!!! The guacamole made it a little hard to eat, but it was definitely worth it. I had to cut the burger in half because it was so big. The home fries were ridiculously good, too! The service was great and I loved the outdoor dining and laid-back atmosphere. And instead of using table numbers, they have table names. Our table name was Amazing. I'd say that summed up our visit to Kahuku Grill perfectly. I will definitely go back!!!

Best food we had all vacation!!!! Friendly servers. Great food cooked to order. Wait staff was attentive and nice chat with one of the owners. The cowboy burger was huge and delicious! Side salad & home fries were great too! The coconut shrimp lived up to its billing also! The banana bread a la mode was large, warm and mouth-watering! If we ever make it back to this island it will be a must stop for us!

My husband and I were staying 5 minutes away at Turtle Bay on our recent visit to Hawaii and determined not to eat any more subpar over-priced hotel food. Kahuku Grill was a great find! We had grilled fish salads and coconut shrimp and I found myself craving their food the following days! I am not a huge coconut fan or fried food fan but their coconut shrimp is hands down one of the best shrimp dishes I have had. Not at all greasy, the shrimp was perfectly cooked and the crunchy coconut flavor was a perfect combination. The dressing on the salads and the dipping sauce that came with were also superb! This is a great spot and is super casual. You walk up to the window to order and can choose from indoor or limited outdoor seating. The service was nice, the food was good, and I look forward to returning on our next trip to the island!

Always delicious food! Always good quality! Coming from a family owned restaurant - I love and appreciate so much getting to know the owners. Every time I've eaten here, the owner or manager has come to see how everything is and thank us for coming!! It truly is the best way to make racing fans! Support Local!

We were looking for a place outside the hotel to grab a good meal. This was the absolute perfect find! The weather was great so we sat outside. My boyfriend and I got the cowboy burger and grilled fish plate (quite the contrast on the healthy scale) to split. I also ordered a small green salad since I was starving! It was 8pm and our first meal of the day. The burger was awesome! Cooked perfectly, fresh bun, great produce fixings and amazing onion rings and pineapple! The fries are just as good. More like a small seasoned potato skin, but fantastic and seasoned just right. After taking a few bites out of the burger I was thinking that there was no way I would be digging the grilled fish. Wrong! I don't know what they seasoned it with but it was just as tasty as my burger. The salad was great, fresh with a yummy dressing. We love this place and will definitely be back!

Jessica F.

Just driving the cost and saw this area. We decided to give it a try. I got a cheeseburger with added pineapple. I wish (for the extra dollar I paid for pineapple) I would have gotten more than one ring to cover the whole burger. Hubby got the cowboy burger. It was huge! The burgers were good but fall apart. The meat itself falls apart! Would not stay on the bun. Also make sure to double check your total! We were over charged and so were the people in front of us because something was accidentally added but not removed. Not sure if it was a fluke or something that happens regularly. Prices are good. Suppose to have world famous coconut shrimp but we are not seafood eaters so can't comment on that.

Adrian D.

Omgosh! Amazing, delicious mouth watering food. I had the coconut shrimp with the seasoned rice and side salad. The staff were great. Courteous, energetic and good service overall. Kahuku Grill is off the side of the road, so keep keep your eyes open. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Must try if your in North Shore. Decent place and they actually serve you ;). Casual meal at the beach and no better reason than to enjoy the most famous cocunut shrimp in Oahu!

I went with my daughter to this place after reading some nice reviews and their closing time-9 pm suited us. First thing we have noticed was the smell of urine or vomit coming from the floor. I saw couple of stray cats and I thought that may be it was them. The atmosphere I thought was lively and the lady who took orders was very nice. I paid with my credit card upfront with options showing the amount for tips. I paid 15% (upfront, before having a meal) Since I haven't lived long enough in the US I don't really know when to pay tips and when not to pay them, so I paid. We both ordered combo plate-coconut and garlic shrimps. While we were waiting for our meal to arrive, we tried to change our seats but the smell was following us everywhere. The biggest disappointment was the food-uncooked shrimps with uncooked rice. I didn't eat the rice but somehow managed to finish shrimps(2 out of 4 were funny tasting and mushy) Will never go there again and regret having paid the 15% tip for nothing. Message to the owner of the place, please do something about the smell and the quality of your cooking. Nice people doesn't make up for bad food

Ridiculously good; wish I could eat here 10 times on my trip. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp is terrific, but then the rice and salad served with it were top notch too. The cowboy burger was one of the best burgers I have had. The staff was really friendly and on top of it as well. I Definitely recommend this place for a great casual amazing meal.

Bryant O.

Great burgers, great home made fries and great fish. My two go to burgers are the shem burger and the paniolo burger, both have their distinct taste that is filled with flavor. The home made fries with the special dipping sauce is icing on the cake for me. I couldn't ask for mor a better burger place close to home. The delicious food makes us coming back for more at least once a week. The wait to order and receive the food can take awhile, so I usually order before I head down there, giving them a good 15-20 minutes to prep the order. I wish they had a separate take out window that would allow me to skip the order line. Great place and great food, glad they opened their second restaurant, Seven Brothers, which is closer but they don't server the fish and shrimp plate.

If you're tired of eating delicious fresh seafood and you're looking for just a simple beef burger, this is probably your best bet in the North Shore area. I think I made the right choice when I ordered the regular cheeseburger -- it was tasty and juicy. The burger wasn't amazing, but the hand-cut fries were delish. My boyf made the mistake of ordering the "famous coconut shrimp." His order came out beyond overcooked. The shrimp were hard and nothing was good about it. Thankfully, the waitresses were nice and got us a new set of shrimp -- they were better but nothing to write home about. My boyf's dad got a fish sandwich and he said his dish was "meh." In hindsight, if you look at the locals, they're all eating regular burgers, so stick to that.

Julie G.

Just great food. The "world famous" coconut macadamia nut shrimp was phenomenal and that alone is worth a stop. But the non-seafood folks are going to just as happy as the burgers are great too. I had Shem's Big Bad Burger which was just a glorious mess of avocado, bacon, cheese, and meaty goodness. And the kitties are too adorable!

We adore this place and the food is always FANTASTIC!! After being away for a year....everything was exactly as wonderful as we remembered. Savannah was very friendly and helpful and we argued over who had the best meal. The Coconut Mac nut shrimp is just incredible....but the three different burgers and the grilled fish....oh my!!! But never forget the banana nut bread Sunday with chocolate and coconut! Do t miss it!

Great meal tonight at Kahuku Grill. I had a burger with pineapple, teriyaki, avocado, and grilled onions. It was awesome. My wife had the seafood combo plate and she loved it. My young daughter had the fish sandwich which she loved. The fries are amazing and the prices are great. They don't sell beer or wine, but you can BYOB. Will return again for sure. Really friendly service.

Tupu L.

Brought my sister and my girlfriend here so we were able to try several of their burgers and their fries. I had the Twice as Much burger which is just humongous. Really big burger. My sister had something like a bacon and bleu cheese burger and my girlfriend had the Teri burger. We also order their regular and crazy fries. The burgers were very juicy and very well seasoned. They have a sauce in their burger that adds a great flavor to just about anything. They also use this sauce as a dipping sauce for the fries. I had a cup of ketchup that I ended up neglecting because the sauce was delicious. When we arrived, service was very slow mainly because there was only one waitress taking orders and serving food. They were short staffed but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because she was very friendly. Another waitress came in later which moved things faster for the other customers. This place is also nestled behind a convenient shop so if you're not paying attention from the road, you can easily miss it. It's a great place though with ample seating. Cool kind of beach vibe, and reasonable prices for a burger joint. I look forward to my next visit to try more of their food.

Went here a couple of weekends ago with my husband and daughter. Ordered the Coconut Mac Nut Shrimp. The rice was so salty and over seasoned I could not even eat it. The salad looked great but I did not care for the dressing (it comes with the dressing on it and the menu does not specify the type of dressing). I was so irritated that I did not even try the shrimp. My husband had the salad with shrimp and they got his order wrong and my daughter had the grilled fish. The waitress brought us free fries to compensate and I did like those but overall I was not impressed. My husband and daughter did like their food. We sat outside to eat and there is a bad smell coming from somewhere.

Overpriced food that I can easily make at home for cheaper. Crappy music blaring from their speakers (think of a weird playlist of Rascal Flatts meets Slightly Stoopid). Fake local ambiance. Very touristy. All my friends love this place, but it's very overrated.

Absolutely some of the best food I have ever had. Definitely our favorite while visiting Oahu. Do yourself a favor and STOP here. We had never been but we passed it and then decided a couple miles later to turn around and try... thank gosh! The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. I got a burger with cheese, bacon and a side of fries... amazing! My FiancÃ© got the garlic shrimp with rice... I tried it... Amazing again! I can't say enough good things about how great their food was. We all loved it! This was also the cheapest meal we ate while visiting.

Alaina K.

Absolutely amazing food. I always order the fish and shrimp and instead of the salad I order their fries. I have been here a total of 5 times and never did the food disappoint. It's on the north shore so it was quite a drive, but if I had friends or family come out I always took them here. The fish has so much flavor, falls right apart and is just amazing. I crave it to this day. The line does get long in the afternoon, and when I say long I mean LONG. Seating is ample for the area as they have inside and outside. Parking is easy. If I ever visit or move back, this would be a first stop.

Loved this place! We were looking for dinner and found this place on Yelp. We went there for 2 nights, because it was so good. The first night we had the Shem Burger and the Coconut Shrimp/grilled fish. Loved the Burger, it was excellent. Loved the Coconut Shrimp, the fish was fine, but not our favorite. The 2nd night, we both got burgers. Loved this place! It is BYOB, so we brought beers and sat outside. The 2nd night we took our food to go, and drove down the road a few minutes until we found a beach and then ate watching the sunset. Totally recommend! Great food at great prices. Try a burger!

What a gem of a find on the north shore! Service was laid back & she was happy to hear we found them through Yelp! My husband ordered the cheeseburger with bacon & special sauce. So good! As were the fries that accompanied! I order the garlic shrimp with rice, OMG! Ahh-mazing deliciousness! Will deff be back on next visit!

Kaitlin B.

Bruce Irons burger with grilled pineapple is the main reason I stop here. The frys with fry sauce is excellent. It was slow getting our food, but once they found out how long we were waiting they offered to comp our meal! That is great service. Every establishment makes mistakes, but owning up to them and making it up to the customer is what makes great service.

Chad G.

We ordered 2 kinds of shrimp a burger and grilled fish to go. They took 45 minutes to cook our food and gave us two orders of fish with no burger. Tables were dirty and many other guests were complaining of the slow service. Will avoid this place in the future which is a real shame because the other reviews made it seem promising.

Jacquie L.

Had the coconut macadamia shrimp and a teriyaki burger. Both were incredible. Prices were typical for this type of place. Food was breathtakingly good. The seasoned rice was addicting, the potato slice fries have just the right amount of flavor. The tables were clean, and the service was great. Don't miss the amazing chocolate chip banana bread, it melts in your mouth and makes your taste buds smile. tl;dr Kahuku Grill is as good or better than anywhere else around, and that's really saying something.

This was a wonderful surprise. My girlfriend and I were looking for something in the area to eat and, while we love shrimp, we weren't in the mood for one of the 20 shrimp trucks that serve only shrimp and dot the area. Then we saw the Kahuku grill. Not much to look at, but the food was outstanding. I ordered a double cheeseburger with a salad. I ordered the double because the $3.50 price for the single burger made me think it would be very small---boy was I wrong! When the burger came it was so large I couldn't pick it up without making a big mess (in a good way). It was delicious. Better still, my girlfriend ordered grilled fish and rice, and it came out with this beautiful tender filet, and a butter garlic sauce that permeated the rice, and a salad. This place is for real. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. My only complaint is they need to invest in some doors. It was so hot inside and so many flies that I thought I was going to melt and the flies would finish my burger before I did. They had an air conditioner blasting, but it doesn't do much good when your room is wide open.

I have been coming here for over twenty years as a visitor to Hawaii every year from California, and sometimes 2-3 times per year. I first learned of this place by accident, while perusing the area for coconut shrimp. I was initially blown away at the size and quantity of shrimp, not to mention the preparation that was spot on. As years passed, I noticed a decline in the quantity and sometimes quality of the coconut shrimp. I cannot testify to any other items because I love the shrimp. I would give it a rating between 3-3.5 stars then, but I just had lunch here last week, and it was awesome....best ever! According to our server, this place got a makeover and new owners about three years ago. I did not try this place last year, but this time I believe the coconut shrimp was the best ever in quality along with the salad and rice condiments. My fiance had the grilled fish and said it was better than the last time, when they salted it a little too much. This time we ordered the fish with NO salt and it was yummy, she said. Without a doubt, we will be back again either this year or definitely 2013, and we will be having lunch here. The new owners are doing a wonderful job, so keep it up. By the way, the wait staff, a young Australian accent girl was friendly, courteous, and very pleasant to talk to, so keep up all of the good work everyone. This place is a winner!!!

Oh my gosh, please try this place? My husband and I shared the Shem's combo w/salad and we loved it. The burger was so good. Homemade guac, thick, REAL bacon, & a moist burger patty! We cut it in half and were still so full afterward. The fries are yummy as well: chunks of potato fried and seasoned. The salad was fresh and had a tasty dressing on it. For dessert, we had the banana bread sundae. I wasn't sure how it would be, but it's a must! The banana bread had chocolate chips in it and it was warm and fluffy. There were two huge scoops of ice cream with chocolate sauce and coconut on top. It was so delicious! We can't wait to go again!

We stayed at the Turtle Bay resort in North Shore and stumbled on this place thanks to Yelp. Place was AWESOME I had the grilled seafood plate and my wife had a burger, both were equally as good and the atmosphere was very cool. One of the owners even came out to ask how our dinner was. Place has GREAT good and even better prices! We got 2 meals for half the price of what we would've paid for one at the resort. Get off the resort and get to Kahuku Cafe!!!

Usually I really like K Grill, but tonight I was very dissatisfied with the food I ordered. Two fish plates and a cheeseburger combo. The fish was wayyyyy over seasoned, you practically had to scrape off the top just to taste the fish, the burger was extra salty too. The burger was also mushy. The side salad with the fish is usually my favorite part, but it was tiny and the lettuce was wilted. I'm pretty sure they forgot to put croutons and wontons on it too. The rice was hard and dry. Tried to go there the night before but they ran out of fish and the fryer was broken. Our waiter Yani was very polite and it seemed like she was the one woman show bussing tables and taking out orders. Props to her! Kahuku Grill is either super good or very disappointing depending on the night. Seems like they need to get all their cooks on the same page. We chose to go to the Grill instead of Banzai Sushi for my parents last night in town.. Looks like we chose wrong tonight. :/

My first visit to Hawaii and we decided to make the trek around the whole island in a Jeep. Once our hunger set in we only passed a bunch of shrimp shacks. After checking out Yelp, I read about Kahuku Grill. We stopped in for lunch. SERVICE: folks were very nice. Ordering took no time but it did take about 25 mins to get food. FOOD: I got the Coconut Shrimp and they were fabulous. Just the right amount of coconut and the shrimp were huge. My buddy got the garlic shrimp and they were just ok. Swamped in butter and messy. They should have been peeled prior to serving. Meal was pricey but worth it. ATMOSPHERE: nice, casual environment. Seating was outside on patio or inside in a tiny cramped room. Definitely go for outdoor seating.

After reading the reviews on Yelp, we decided to stop by for lunch one afternoon. Although it was around 2 p.m., it was very crowded, which we thought was a good sign. Wrong! We waited, and waited, and waited in line. There were about five people in front of us, and it took between 30-45 minutes to even order. They have one girl working behind the counter taking orders. After she takes an order, she says, "I will be right back," disappears for 10 minutes, then reappears to take the next order. We think that she was leaving to go cook the food. We also saw her delivering food to tables. They obviously need more people working. We finally placed our order for 2 coconut mac nut shrimp meals, fries, and a salad, thrilled that we were almost ready to eat. Our fries came out quickly, and they were by far the best part of the meal, but they were not great. They were not really fries, just huge fried slices of potatoes with TONS of a peppery seasoning all over them. They were served with a spicy dipping sauce, which we enjoyed. After a long time, one basket of shrimp arrived, along with a burger, which we did not order. They set down the shrimp and left to look for our salad and other shrimp plate. My husband and I shared his shrimp while we waited for the other meal to arrive. If the food had been good, I would not care about the service, but the shrimp were bland, flavorless, and greasy. I was really shocked that a place with bad food and horrible service could get such glowing reviews! Outback, the Chart House, and Tommy Bahamas all have coconut shrimp that are 500 times better than this place. They had absolutely no flavor. Luckily, we were staying at Turtle Bay and had not driven far to eat at Kahuku Grill. Once my shrimp and salad eventually arrived, I thought maybe my shrimp would be better, and tried them. Nope. We will never go back to Kahuku Grill.

YUMMMMMMM!!!!! If someone told me I could have a cheeseburger from one place before I die, I would choose Kahuku Grill! And that says a lot because I'm from California, the home of In-n-Out burgers. Call me a traitor, but I just love their burgers (Shem and regular cheeseburger) because it tastes well-balanced. Their bun to cheese to patty to sauce to veggie ratio is perfect!! Their veggies taste fresh, sesame buns are soft, and the beef patty is huge and lean. If you're not into burgers, they have coconut shrimp! Their coconut shrimp is sooooo good, they are crispy on the outside but moist and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce complements the shrimp perfectly-the shrimp having a slight salty, coconut taste and the not too sweet sauce. Also, their salad is great. Make sure to add a side of fries and don't forget to check-in to get your free drink!!

Robin W.

Don't miss this sweet gem of a grill, all locally grown food with awesome burgers & coconut shrimp, their specialty. Delicious and plentiful food, just add a Pupukea greens salad for just a $1. It's kind of hidden on the side of another business, but accessible from the front. Walk up to order in front & look for the Orange umbrellas. Quaint inside seating or sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. You will not be disappointed!! By the way, the servers were very nice and quick and the owner showed true Aloha spirit. Mahalo Kahuku Grill!

Great little Burger Joint up in the North Shore ... I'd probably give it 5 stars if the service was better. The two young ladies were not only working the order window but also delivering food to the tables in and outside and seemed a bit overwhelmed. By the time we were acknowledged she asked us "you know what want?!" without any initial greeting ...very dry. But the young man who was also working there was good and very attentive to our table after our food arrived. I had a bacon cheeseburger with the potato "chip" style fries and their dipping sauce which was pretty much a spicy 1000 island I think. The burger was VERY juicy and had great flavor and very fresh ingredients and a very fresh baked and soft bun.this made the burger for me. The fries were spiced with what I think could have been a creole seasoning and were also very good.Just simply a solid and classic great burger ....can't go wrong here.The coconut shrimp looked really good although I did not try them. This place is a long haul (maybe 45-60 mins drive without traffic)if you're down in Waikiki but well worth it as it is conveniently located near all the great Shrimp trucks like Giovanni's. Do yourself a favor and make the trip up there ! Mahalo !

Fries are great, they are cut fairly thick, almost leaving the realm of French fries and approaching the realm of seasoned potatoes. The burger was pretty good. Definitely the thinnest meat patty I have ever encountered, it was thinner than the tomato slice. Pretty good, but 3 star burger at best.
(3)
Cristy S.

Their shrimp is all good but the burger and fries quality has gone way down from when it first opened, probably in an attempt to cut costs. They should consider serving their icecream sundaes in something other than the hole-filled baskets with tissue paper over top because the icecream basically melts into/through the paper and is pretty hard to eat. The fries used to be awesome - thick and chunky, but now they're almost paper thin and so unhealthy and oily. If I were reviewing this place in 2011 it would be a 4-5 star but sadly from recent visits it just doesn't taste the same...

Everything else is just ok, but they're burgers are good! Although I do feel like it's a hit and miss sometimes. Maybe it just depends on who's working that day but I've had their fries both ways: undercooked to a crunch or overcooked to a shriveled prune texture. and sometimes it's perfectly good. But I still go time and time again because it's nearby and a good bite to eat. Good to come if you're in the area, not necessary to be the reason to come to north shore.

I got the one of the biggest burgers in my life here! It was so big that it was almost the size of my head. That's saying something, because I got a big head. It all started because I was very hungry after a long day on the North Shore. I needed something scrumptious and this place was not too far away. I ordered the Twice As Much combo, grandpa ordered the Teriyaki Chicken plate, and grandma tried the Coconut Shrimp plate with extras. They sure weren't kidding when they call this burger "Twice As Much." It was just about twice as much as most burgers that are out there. It features two two-third pound patties, two slices of cheese, lots of lettuce and tomato, Thousand Island dressing on a sesame seed bun, and seasoned potato wedges with dipping sauce. The Teriyaki Chicken Plate was served with rice and a bed of baby greens with a grilled pineapple slice. This looked really good, but I did not try any because I try to stay away from charred food. Grandpa said it was very delicious. The Coconut Shrimp plate came with coconut battered shrimp, rice, a bed of greens and some extras. Grandma opted for avocado and bacon strips to accompany her meal. She enjoyed her food as well. Everything was perfect except for the flies flying around in the outdoor seating area, and order area. I had to keep guarding my food while I ate by waving my hand around to keep them away. I mentioned this to the cashier that worked here and he said that, "the flies are out there. They're not in here." He seemed to be right as I did not see any flies behind him. I guess this is to be expected and probably unavoidable when you sit outdoors. Altogether, this was a good place to get food. Very good food and a different ambiance than you may be used to. This place was a pleasant surprise in a country neighborhood.

We ate at several shrimp shacks/trucks, but Kahuku was by far the best. The coconut macadamia shrimp were divine. They serve it with a small green salad that is topped with an amazing house dressing and rice. Skip the trucks, and come here. They offer options for non-seafood eaters too.

Food is great-had burgers, fries, coconut shrimp. Minus one star for the outside seating. If you like a cat and rooster walking around while you're eating then go for it. It was unappetizing for us so we took out. But the food was yummy & service was good.

Reading someone else's review, I thought they actually had a veggie burger, but what they served me is a bun with salad greens, a tiny slice of pineapple, a tiny smattering of sauteed mushroom, and a slice of Kraft singles. With fries this came to $7, same price as a normal burger with fries. I know this isn't one of their regular options but it was still really disappointing. Service was friendly. There was a sewage smell outside so we sat inside. Bathrooms were available, but were out of toilet paper. Cash only.

Everyone talks a big shrimp game on the north shore but this is the real deal! I have been up and down searching for the best shrimp and the coconut shrimp here is the best. Also had a pretty incredible burger that competes as one of the best!

Anyone that has been to Chicago, or any larger city on the mainland for that matter, knows that we mainlanders like to brag about our burgers. Whether it's Chicago or NYC, Seattle or Boston, everyone claims to have "the best burger." So how is it that myself, a Chicago burger lover who has had more than my fair share, came to believe I found one of the best damn burgers in the world at a shack behind a gas station? Sit back for the tale of Kahuku Grill. Our journey to the North Shore began in Chicago at 4am. 4am. After a flight to Dallas and then to Honolulu, and then a car ride to Turtle Bay, we found ourselves beyond hungry - a hunger that only a burger and fries can quelch. Enter a quick Yelp-ing and then finding Kahuku Grill. Onward we went! It is, I should point to anyone getting there via smartphone, not easy to find. Our directions had us doing a U-Turn. You simply have to turn in at the gas station and it's behind there. We arrived and ordered from a bunch of college kids. Nice. I like supporting college eduactions. I went with a burger featuring cheddar, guacamole, and bacon. Whoa. It. Was. Amazing. Their fries are actually diced red potatoes perfectly salted. They really were the perfect balance together. My fiance's burger featuring grilled onions was equally amazing. We ended up going back again it was so damn good. If you find yourself on the North Shore and in need of an amazing burger, look no further. Top 3 burger for me. And that's a big deal.

First visit, so we'll see if future visits stack up. Ordered the coconut shrimp plate with home fries instead of rice. Came with a really great honey mustard dipping sauce and a tangy dressing for the salad. Quick, inexpensive for the quality (esp compared to the local shrimp trucks). I'm a fan!

SERVICE: leaves much to be desired; FOOD: inconsistent taste and size; sometimes there's fish, sometimes not; coconut shrimp is wayyy overrated -- too much coconut and panko flakes, not enough shrimp; WAIT TIME: very long; if you only have 30 minutes for lunch, do not go here as it takes about that much time just to get your food and then it's a gamble if they get it right.

I cannot fathom how this place has a five star rating. I understand that people move in Hawaii time on this island, but this restaurant takes it to another level...to the point that they are just plain rude. Staffed by a bunch of young way too laid back workers...we waited in line for about 30 minutes...finally my wife got to the front of the line, and the cashier disappeared for 20 minutes...to cook the burgers? My wife couldn't even order her food and sit down. People were waiting at the tables for their food for a while even after they ordered. Many customers were disgruntled about missed orders...the bathroom was locked for 40 minutes, and one mom with two young toddlers was distraught, waiting for the bathroom and they were already waiting 40 minutes for their food. The worker told her to keep waiting for the bathroom door to open, "there's probably someone in there." For forty minutes?? Obviously the lock was broken! I only saw one guy working hard...he tried to cheer people up with patronizing platitudes like "stay awesome!" A bunch of workers were in the supply room next door basically laughing and screwing around. This place is terrible. Only stupid tourists who want to brag about a great "hole in the wall" would go to a place like this. I was so disgusted that even though we were in the front of the line, we ditched out. Drove 5 minutes down the road to Pizza Hut and we were back at the hotel before the next people even got their food. The food could not possibly be good enough to compensate for such terrible service. Worst experience of the trip so far.

Although I think that the girls working there were nice, and the burger was good, I can't give this place more than a A-ok rating. I already had high expectations as I ordered my burger and potatoes here. But when the plate came out with soft, over salted potatoes I was bummed. I thought they would be crispy and delicious but no. The burger was okay, but not the best I've had. I wanted this first visit to be so much better than it ended up being. This does however not mean that I'm not willing to try it again, I am. Because I want to see what the real fuzz was about and if maybe one day they will live up to my expectations. Also, $12 for a burger? I understand it was a specialty burger with lots of ingredients but really? Oh well. (013/365)

Great shrimp! It's been deveined (if you know what I mean...) and tastes sweet. Locally grown and never frozen. As for the service you must remember that this is a small place behind a gas station manned by ?three? people. Overall a great place to go to after visiting North Shore.

Cole M.

KILLER BURGERS!!! This was a last minute decision on our trip up the North Shore, and it was a great one. Each of us had one of their different burgers, each one was equally spectacular. It's a walk up window for giving your order, and the girl at the window might have been the friendliest person we met on the island. (Not all locals are too excited to see us.) This may have been my favorite food on the trip.

Carrie E.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. My husband had the shems big bad bacon guacamole burger. I though I was going to need to get him a room so he could be alone with his burger! He said it was the best burger he has ever had. Even better than the double, double from in-n-out. We shared some of their signature coconut macadamia nut shrimp which was amazing. The breading is unique, crunchy and delicious. It is served with a chili sauce that is a great compliment to the shrimp. I had the pineapple cheeseburger. The beef patty was seasoned to perfection. If you are on the north shore you MUST eat here. If you don't, you will be sorry. I have always loved Hawaii and the North Shore but now I have one more reason to love it!!

I came upon this place out of desperation. As a guest at Turtle Bay Resort, I soon came to the realization that there ain't JACK SHIT open on the North Shore past 8:00. Well...except for Kahuku Grill! My friend ordered a burger and I a plate with shrimp and fish. (Famished at the time, I failed to note the exact names of our dinners that night!) In addition to the rice, my plate came with a side salad that was more Californian than Island-y. If I recall correctly, the dressing was sweet, and the salad a nice mix with cranberries. Service was fast and friendly too! Not much more you can ask for. If you're in the North Shore and are all shrimp-trucked out this is definitely the place to go!

Kahuku Grill has been a great addition to the north east side of Oahu. They offer burgers, shrimp & fish plates, salad, and a banana bread dessert on their menu. My personal preference would have to be the burgers and fries. You can't go wrong there. They have an array of different burger options to satisfy the taste of any customer. Their fries are fresh and different. They are more like seasoned potato wedges. Plus, fries come with their sauce, which is pretty tasty. My only complaints are that sometimes the lines are way too long and the food can take a long time to get.

The hubby and I were staying at Turtle Bay and this spot was recommended to us by our Segway tour guide from the resort, Tyler. I had Shem's Big Bad Bacon Guacamole Burger and he had the "World Famous" Coconut Macadamia Shrimp. The burger was delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and of course bacon makes everything taste better :) It was HUGE so we split it - we were both happy with this choice. The burger came with these thick cut potato slices, nothing special. I would have rather had crispy fries instead. The "World Famous" shrimp did not taste world famous at all. At first site, the shrimp looked plump, but don't let that fool you. It was all breading. The first few bites were ok, but I started peeling the coconut breading off because it was too much... doing that only revealed the true size of the shrimp, which was really small. If we came back here, we probably wouldn't order the coconut shrimp again.

Delicious food and some of the nicest people you can meet! My husband and wanted to get some good shrimp while we were on the island of O'ahu. We scored big!! Alyssa took care of us and she was helpful, friendly and very sweet! She made sure we understood our options, what could be added to our salad, and more. She came out to make sure our table was clean, and even though we thought it would do, she did not and cleaned it off better. She came back out to make sure everything was tasting good. It wasn't good....it was AMAZING!! Coconut shrimp cooked just right, my rice was seasoned perfectly, and my husband's home fries were cooked to perfection! He had a combo plate with the coconut shrimp and garlic shrimp. He loved them both. We were stuffed but were not able to resist sharing a warm piece of their homemade chocolate chip banana bread!! A MUST WHEN YOU VISIT!!! And you REALLY should make a point to stop here! You will not be sorry!!

I'd give six stars if it were and option. Seriously THE BEST burgers I've ever eaten. Great veggie sandwich option, coconut shrimp was awesome too! Really and truly the best stop along the road place on the island!!!

OMG! This place really is as good as it gets!!!! Its true what they say..The Macadamia crusted shrimp is all that it promises to be..The Burgers are awesome! The food is fresh, served in large portions and you will not leave hungry. This place is literally a no frills kind of a place, but you will not regret it. Stop by and experience the Grill!

Great little place! I've tried their shrimp platters and fish, all of it quite tasty. Dining primarily occurs outdoors, the indoor dining is a much smaller place, so be prepared to enjoy your food in the local weather. The people working there were super friendly and enjoyable to interact with. The prices are as you'd expect of Hawaiian food, not cheap but not outrageous either (I think our plates were about $13 each). The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars? Their shrimp, although very delicious, was not as good as some of the locally grown shrimp cooked out of the shacks/trucks down the street. Aside from that, everything else about this place is wonderful!

Great burgers and variety of choices on the menu. I normally get the "Seek Burger" (pesto). Like its sister location, Seven Brothers in Laie, they do a great job. Great food, courteous, clean! Mahalo!

Stopped here for an early dinner on a Saturday. Didn't have to wait in line and food was ready in about 10 minutes. I got the (something) Iron Burger which is a Teri burger with avocado and I added on grilled pineapple. This was AMAZING! Burger was so big I could hardly fit my mouth around it... Totally big enough to split it with someone. Burger was very juicy and I would definitely come here again!!

Barbara W.

I wasn't incredibly impressed with this little hole in the wall burger place, but I wasn't disappointed either. Here are my tips for those who come here hungry during a North Shore visit. 1. This isn't a "fast" food place, so be prepared to wait more than 10 minutes for your food. Don't come here in a super rush. 2. The burgers are better than the macadamia nut/coconut friend shrimp. The locals were ordering the burgers, that's what I should have ordered too. The coconut shrimp was "too fried" for me. I will tell you that you can definitely taste the nut and coconut, but I couldn't really taste any shrimp. 3. They order off of an iPad. That's cool. Be prepared to sign for your credit card on an iPad! 4. You can replace the fries that come with your burger with salad or a different side for no extra cost. Remember: ORDER THE BURGERS! I had a spicy one called fire and something, and it was delicious!

I got an email for my horrible review of of Kahuku Grill. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm a snob and may not have been in a good mood writing the review but I think that you should hear my whining voice just in case you and I are like-minded. I understand the cost of doing business in Hawaii is high and my opinion of this place is in the minority so just take it for what it is worth. The owner(s) were very respectful in their email and I applaud them for taking the time to answer my concerns. I wish you well!

WOW !! We have never stopped by here, but on a suggestion of a friend, we stopped in today. All I can say is WOW. We've always eaten at Jameson's when on the north shore. But we are now saying goodbye to them. The service at the Kahuku Grill was the friendliest we ever experienced. And the food ?? PERFECT. Fresh fish, shrimp, fries and salad with papaya dressing. All FRESH and cooked when you order it. Portion sizes huge. And the best priced meal we've had in years. Can't wait to go back. The fresh fish was Ono. !!

There is no reason I should ever eat another cheese burger anywhere else in the universe than at Kahuku Grill. I got their basic cheese burger off the menu and added sauteed mushrooms. Their fries are quartered slices of potatoes, skin on, seasoned and cooked perfectly. I was encouraged to get the one dollar salad and don't regret it in the least. First bite, the burger gushed meat juices that dribbled down my wrist. The beef is local and patties are formed by hand and the young lady who cooked my burger seemed very pleased that I enjoyed it so much. I got the impression that she took pride in the food she is serving. My husband got the fish dish and enjoyed it thoroughly. I kid you not-after eating this burger at Kahuku, I refused to eat another burger anywhere else the entire time we were on Oahu.

Anyone driving along Oahu's North Shore has plenty of options for eating shrimp. Guidebooks debate the relative merits of all the different shrimp trucks that sit along the highway. After stopping at a couple of the trucks and checking out their menus, we ended up a Kahuku Grill, a small little sit down restaurant in Kahuku. Were we ever glad we did! The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and--most important--the food was fantastic. More specifically, Kahuku Grill's coconut-macadamia nut shrimp was the best coconut shrimp we'd ever had. We all agreed. It was delicious. The rest of the meal was equally good. Even the rice here was excellent. The only negative worth mentioning occurred at one of the outdoor tables farthest from restaurant. As we waited for our food to be prepared, we occasionally detected the faint smell of rotting garbage wafting through the air. Not cool. After the second time, we changed tables and this was no longer an issue. (Even so, Kahuku Grill, you would do well to resolve this issue.) All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable meals we experienced during our time on the islands and definitely one of the best values. I highly recommend Kahuku Grill to anyone out exploring Oahu's North Shore.

Great great great food, and friendly service! Their burgers are great, and the Paniolo burger is just out of this world. It comes with cheese, onion ring, grilled pineapple and two sweet and savory sauces! Their fresh cut skin on potatoes are fried amazingness. They also make really great shrimp. I don't know what it is about shrimp on this island, but, it's just marvelous. Its sweet, and has a soft fleshy texture, I've never had anything like it before. We had the garlic shrimp, which was really wonderful. However, the house specialty is their coconut macadamia nut shrimp. Whic is true to Hawaiian sugared, battered & fried tradition, but honestly with the shrimp being so fresh and wonderful, what's the point in masking it with sugar and batter???

The food was good, not great but a good value for price. I thought my fish had a bit too much garlic but it still satisfied me. The shrimp and salad were good as well. The service is good but the waitress forgot my wife's water and its probably a good thing because it's from the tap according to the register girl. No iced tea, your only options are coke products. Totally kick back surfer style place. Wish I had room for dessert but the combo filled me up.

Odd experience here, The food was pretty darn good. My boyfriend got a burger, I got coconut shrimp and fish combo. I personally thought his fries/potatoes were REALLY good, but I could see how some people that only like traditional fries might disagree. I also thought the coconut shrimp was pretty damn amazing and my boyfriend agreed. He liked his burger and I thought the fish was pretty good but it was a little over seasoned (too salty for my taste). The part that was odd to me... after we ordered there were very few customers around so the entire group working there propped up at the table next to me and my boyfriend while we were eating.... fine with me I guess. But then, like 5 of the kids started harassing one girl because she wasn't mormon, it was the oddest thing. They all started talking about how the Mormon faith is the only way and that she was crazy for not believing that Joseph Smith was a prophet and so on. At first my boyfriend and I shrugged it off but after awhile it became a very very uncomfortable situation for the one girl and for us sitting there having to listen to it while we ate. It was then that my boyfriend pointed out that there was a picture framed of the Governor of Utah right by the ordering window. I honestly don't know what the deal was but it was a very uncomfortable situation, I mean go ahead and have your beliefs but don't preach at a shrimp shack unless you blatantly advertise that you will get a side of Mormon with your combo.

Went here several weeks ago while sightseeing with the family and decided to come here after reading the review from Yelp. We order a bleu cheese bacon burger, a twice as much burger and a cheeseburger. The good: The patties were juicy and tasty. The bacon was cooked properly. The french fries was good and season properly. The bad: Should have toasted or grilled the bun. The bun broke apart after taking only one bite from the burger. Way too much sauce on the burger. It was an overall OK experience.

I love this place ! Friendly staff with great service and the food is just heavenly ! My wife and I have been there so many times, it's been the perfect date night activity.

I've been eating here for the last year. It is truly the best burger on Earth, besides Argentinian burgers. Which is saying a lot. (Update: The best burger on Earth beats this by a centimeter and is located at Cubby's in Provo, Utah. Eat there, too!!) The Salad is really good. Coconut Macadamia Shrimp is delicious. but burger wise, I don't think you can go wrong. They're all sooo delicious, but if you get a specialty burger, your price almost doubles.. plain old burger is really really good. but if you have the extra cash (which the majority of local customers, the BYU students don't have..) definetely go for a deluxe one. the BLUE BURGER IS THE BEST! The mix of the blue cheese and bar-b-q sauce and everything is so perfect. there is no improving it. Paniolo is soooo good as well. YET, it was so tall I couldn't fit it in my mouth. it was so messy. THE FRIES CAN'T BE TOPPED!!!! freshly made, delicious sauce, no other words. All in all, it is all delicious. If you go on a date, order 1 burger combo to share, a drink (isn't included in combo...) and the DESSERT! It will be the perfect size. their most famous dessert is their chocolate chip coconut banana bread with ice cream. Just try it. Get fat. This time, it is worth it. It's just too delicious and perfect to describe. Eat here, no matter what. Order in on the phone if you know what you want. That will save you a 30 minute in line wait and 30 minute wait for your food. that part is kind of ridiculous. The only bad part is they close at 9. Boo.

My husband is on business in Hawaii and after our initial visit there 2 years ago he couldn't wait to go back. Unfortunately, he was not quite as impressed. He said it must be under new management as it was not nearly as good as it was before. So sad...is it just outstanding in our memories? I will try it again when I get back so I can see if it was real or a fluke. He said it was just OK.

We settled on this place since the shrimp trucks were closed due to heavy rain. I'm sure glad we "settled" because this place was awesome! You usually go to the front, which is outside, to order but since it was pouring the girl at the counter had us come inside to place our orders. She was very nice and friendly from the moment we arrived. There is limited seating but man was the inside amazing! The walls had some beautiful artwork and there were surfboards for sale. It was just a very laid-back, chill atmosphere. I ordered the big bad burger and my girlfriend ordered the garlic shrimp plate. My burger was HUGE! And it was DELISH! It was the best darn burger on the island, no joke. The lady who brought it out and cleaned up the tables was extremely friendly as well. Basically the whole staff was awesome. I really enjoyed my experience at Kahuku Grill and next time I'm on Oahu I'll definitely make my way back!

Morgan K.

Finger lickin' good! Tried a little bit of everything: the coconut macadamia nut shrimp, garlic shrimp, cheese burger and the fries. Everything was DELICIOUS!! You can't go wrong with whatever you get, but my favorite was the coconut shrimp. Very friendly staff as well!

Kahuku grill is a place I frequented quite often more than a few years back. I joined the military, moved away and now I'm back six years later and I wanted some shrimp from the Kahuku grill. When I came here as a kid they had sweet and spicy shrimp, garlic shrimp and coconut shrimp. Unfortunately the sweet and spicy shrimp were no longer on the menu so I had to get the garlic shrimp. While they may not have been what I wanted they were alright. Unfortunately a couple of my shrimp hadn't been properly cleaned and the vein was still in them...yuck. Other than that though they were okay. Then my girlfriend had the cheeseburger combo. While she stated that her burger was delicious, unfortunately the weird things they call fries were pretty gross. They were like huge chunks of potatoes semi-fried so they were soggy, warm almost burnt tasting chunks of potato. Blah. Then there was a nail sticking out of another customers chair that they sat on which they of course brought to the attention of the staff. The staff just replied "oh, oops, sorry" and didn't even ask if the person who sat on it was OK. Fail. Then tie in the fact there was no AC, flies buzzing around you and your food, and the windows in the place were busted and boarded up the place is...well...not worth your money. Sorry Kahuku grill. You aren't what you used to be and that makes me sad, but I wont give you more stars based off my nostalgia for what you used to be.

One of the best burgers I had on the island! My wife and went there at least 3 times during our 8 day honeymoon. We loved it there! The burgers were amazing and the fries/potatoes incredible! I tried several burgers on the island in search for the best one, and the Cowboy came very close!!!

Our favorite restaurant! Best burgers on the island! My husband LOVES the deep blue burger. I usually get the fish salad. It is one of my favorite meals.

we randomly stumbled across this place and i'm glad we did! what an amazing find! they carried "world famous coconut macadamia shrimp" and of course we had to give it a try. AMAZING. even the rice that came with it was buttery and garlicy, with a hint of dill. their cowboy burger was soooooo good too... and so hawaiian with that juicy ring of pineapple in it. so so soooooooooo good! perfect patio seating too. if i lived in hawaii, i would definitely come back here all the time.

Woah woah woahhhhh! Where's the yummy in my tummy overload star? What a find! We happened to stumble on this place on our stop for shave ice. Lucky we did! Food is incredible. All four of us were satisfied with our burgers. The most tender, perfectly seasoned beef your taste buds will be thanking you for. I had the Teri burger. Myyyyyy oh myyyy. it is amazing. if you're up in the north shore area, this is a must!

This one of the few places with a Yelp deal, so I thought I'd give it a chance with my Auntie. The burgers and fries and banana bread were delicious. I tried the coconut shrimp that was decent and tasted good (perhaps not world famous though). Would definitely go here again when I visit.

Richard M.

Woohoo! is right! THE BEST DAMN COCONUT SHRIMP ON THE PLANET!!! Okay, may be not, but until I find it, this gets the crown! Crisp, butterflied, fresh shrimp coated in the best tempura this side of Japan with REAL coconut flakes you can see, fried to perfection. The dipping sauce is perfect. It in no way dampens the flavor of the shrimp. Perfect pairing. The Bruce Irons burger is phenomenal! That is one mean burger with real large chunks of avocado and plenty of teri flavor. This burger has to be eaten to fully appreciate. This is a great "hole in the wall" that you don't want to pass up. The foods good, people are cool, and you can't beat the prices.

Mouth watering juicy burgers. They look ordinary but taste extraordinary. Coconut macadamia nut shrimp are perfectly sweet. Teriyaki chicken is chard all around the edges and tender and flavorful all around. Unlike other places where they give you a BLAND side salad, this side salad is a duo of quality and flavor. My husband & I order the ter' chicken & shrimp but again the burgers were so yummy we ended picking off our kids plates. We also love there fries. They were chunking, rustic and well seasoned. The crew @the Kahuku Grill are all very hospitable. We will be back again:D

A hidden gem. If you're tired of the shrimp trucks and need another food option, this is the place to go. Fries were excellent. Love the huge cut is the potato. Since everything is made to order, the texture of the shelled of the grilled shrimp was nice and crunchy enough to eat and not have to peel off and get your fingers dirty. Not as garlicky as the Giovannis. Love the locally grown greens. Very fresh. The burgers are handmade and not frozen. VERY juicy and good flavor. this was just a random pick and i am glad it turned out to be such a gem because the family was starving and getting reeeally mean! but we all left sooooooo satisfied! GREAT PLACE INDEED!!!

I came here over the Labor day weekend to try the Cocunut shrimp. The food was so good I came back the very next weekend. With the sea of Shrimp Plate Lunch stops on the North Shore, this place gives me a new reason to visit the North Shore again. We tried their famous Coconut Macnut shrimp plate and the fish/teri chicken combo. Both plates were really good. Not many places make coconut shrimp, but this is definitely the better than Macky's. The only issue was the rice was slightly under cooked. The following week we had the daily special, Shem burger-Guacamole, bacon, cheese burger with all the fixins. The burger was fantastic. The combo comes with homemade fries with homemade special dipping sauce and a drink. The prices are very reasonable for the generous portions. Service is really good. The staff was wonderful and friendly. Can't wait to go back.
