Haleiwa Joe's in Kaneohe is a staple: if you havent been there: go when it opens if you want the infamous prime rib (limited quantity available) but definitely go during daylight hours. They have a beautiful botanical gardens you can walk through and get a seat near the edge
Really long wait to be seated . The food was OK, but over-priced. Our server was good.
Wonderful Evening, Especially The Service That We Received And I Was Very Satisfied With My Entree That I Ordered, Real Cozy Settings...
Delicious not one problem and got to bag the wine that they didn't drink I thought that was cool
Went here last weekend for my birthday. They were out of several menu items, 2 1/2 hours before closing. My friend tried to order the salmon, they were out. My other friend ordered the crab dip, they were out of flatbread for it. The worst came when, over 30 minutes AFTER we had ordered, the waitress came to inform us that they were out of mashed potatoes...which was the side for ALL of our dishes. She instead offered us rice. Wish we d known sooner, we would have left and gone somewhere else that had the food we wanted. And after all of this, there was no offer to comp any of our meals, nothing. Just really poor service if you ask me. For what we spent I expected better; I will not be returning.
Food was surprisingly good and interesting and the views are incredible. Very nice wait staff as well
First visit, great Prime Rib, great view, great service, get there early!
No reservations taken, had to wait 2 hrs for a table...had 8 of us. So crowded, not enough parking, nice view
Beautiful scenery and garden. The food, however, is not the best in Hawaii. They have some inspired dishes, but nothing that is exceptional. One thing is for sure, the customer service is incredible!
This place we just happened across. We had know idea what a gem it was. It was an hour wait, which gave us plenty of time to walk through the botanical gardens.
The food was outstanding. Open air dining allowed us to view a stunning sunset as we ate. Wait staff were all on target. I can't wait for my next visit.
Beautiful views, great drinks, amazing food and A++ service.
Excellent food. We had the baked fish and NY strip. Get the pepper version. It's worth it. Sauces were phenomenal. Service was good despite being busy with a wedding party and 2 other large parties. Definitely a new favorite place and we will be back again.
The service and ambiance was great. You can't beat having a nice dinner overlooking a small lake while looking up at the misty mountains. The food was a bit under seasoned but still leagues above many restaurants! Definitely check this place out during your visit.
Everything you could possibly want in a lunch buffet, reasonably priced. Beautiful, serene setting. Reccomend to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere to lunch with friends, family.
Love the food and the mountain/garden view. Get there early if you don't want a long wait.
Often a wait, but we'll worth it. Happy hour is my favorite time for food and drink
Nice restaurant with pretty botanical gardens for weddings and other events. The menus are okay but lacking a childrens menu and quite pricey.
Great atmosphere. They ran out of the prime rib by the time we got seated which was around 8 pm so I would suggest that you head there earlier. There is usually a wait time of 1 hour but if you have to wait you can either order drinks or walk down to the garden and take pictures.
I, unfortunately found a hair in my dish (it happens, no big deal) so they took it off the bill. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
They have 2 locations, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to have a good meal.
The food here are so good. Large serving of juicy and tender steak in a very decent price.
Great surroundings, awesome food and a wonderful staff!
We love going to Haliewa Joe's for happy hour and dinner. The location in Kaneohe is absolutely gorgeous. We always have great food and great service. They do not allow reservations so it's first come first serve. We usually try to hit up happy hour and dinner before it gets too crowded plus they have great happy hour deals!
Good service, good food, friendly wait people visit the garden, it's worth it.
Excellent food and great view and ambiance! Catered to my gluten free celiac needs with gluten free suggestions.
We decided to stop in here while visiting this side of the island and it happened to be brunch time. We decided to stay and give it a try. Although it was pretty pricey ($26 a person) for the basics, the food was good. The drink prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to the brunch price. The guava mimosa was delicious! We will definitely be back here soon and we are looking forward to trying out dinner here! Oh and can you beat that view? I think not! Followed by a walk around the Haiku gardens after! Absolutely stunning!
I came here for my birthday to have dinner, I heard really good things about their prime rib. It started off horrible, we got seated over an hour after getting checked in. We watched people who showed up after us get seated before us. That was annoying but our server made up for it by being amazing. They food was amazing and environment was beautiful.
So popular we had a hard time getting in, even on a week night
Expect a wait. But drive the H3 from Honolulu for the most beautiful drive you've ever seen. These mountains look exactly like the ones they used for filming Jurassic Park. Such a beautiful jungle. We didn't get to eat here because it was packed, but we thought it was worth it just for the drive.
We brought our daughter and family to dinner as a birthday surprise. The food and service was excellent! A truly beautiful event to treasure. This place is a real winner, a little pricey, the ambiance amazing a real treat for sure. Mahalo Nui Haleiwa Joe's !!!!
If you get here early, the prime rib is a must. It's a dinosaur sized cut for a very reasonable price. Atmosphere is fantastic and staff are very nice. Place is so great, this is where my wife and I had our wedding reception.
Its not the time worth you have to wait. Food was ok.
One of the best five restaurants we ve ever experienced and we ve been to a lot of top end places to include The Bull and Bear, Oscars, Rainbow Room, Halls Chophouse and Berns Steakhouse to name a few. A must go in Hawaii. Do not pass this up. Make sure to get there around 5pm to have a great view of the mountain and the lagoon underneath.
Beautiful views, fast service and excellent prime rib.
Prime rib is juicy and tender. Big portion for one.
Great location for a special evening or to take visitors. Beautiful setting overlooking a lake, three Koolau mountains and gardens. Wide selection of small and large plates, primarily seafood and steak items. The macadamia pesto encrusted marlin with mashed potatoes and lobster cream sauce was amazing. A wonderful evening.
Great appetizers and of course the prime rib is "No Ka 'Oi (Da Best), wonderful food selection on the menu, enjoyed the chi chi drinks, the servers are very pleasant and helpful...
Best restaurant I had ever been , highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!
Food was excellent! Loved the view. Perfect for date night
I went to 9th on Sunday and went in without a wait. There are many locals rather than tourists, and the clerk knows almost everything.
Sunday is buffet style, but drinks and coffee are ordered separately.
The food is short rib. It's the first time I've eaten such a plain waffle. The local Hawaiian food was delicious and the meat was good. It's good to eat local food like Hawaiian dumplings.
The scenery is really the best. Let's see the scenery. Sitting a little inside the roof is cool, and it would be much better to take a walk after meals and enjoy the scenery.
One of my favorite places. Nestled up high above beautiful gardens this awesome indoor outdoor restaurant makes you feel like a superstar and the food does NOT disappoint.. I am thoroughly impressed every time we go.
We went on Sunday, which was bunch only. We didnt know that ahead of time, but we were pleasantly surprised! They had a pretty great spread, from prime rib to an omelette station to pastry desserts. My family all found things that we loved!
Simply fantastic. I don't even take a menu: Fred Flintstone cut Prime Rib. Huge and flavorful. Save room for dessert!
Very nice restaurant. Food and service very good. The dessert huge and super tasty ..
Awesome staff and customer service. Great menu selection and prices. AMAZING food and incredible views! Thanks!
Felt very much like a mom and pop Houlihan's. Nothing to rave about.
Wait staff however was friendly and quick.
Solid dinner with a wonderful view. It won't change your life, but it shouldn't disappoint.
Prime rib here is life changing. The caramel macadamia ice cream is also a game changer. I will never tire of the amazing atmosphere and food here.
Great Aji and Prime rib. Get there early. Wonderful ambiance and gorgeous setting
Staff... Friendly and attentive
Atmosphere... Relaxing
Price...$$
We had an absolutely great time. Family dining at its best. We went for the Famous Prime Rib... we understood the reason it's famous. So delish! Yes we had it medium!
Was an hour wait but the nice waitress made us a table and we had pupus and drink. We were full and the food and drinks were delicious. Next time for sure we will come earlier. We were just tired and thirsty after a long motorcycle ride. Alll in alll definitely will recommend.
The drink was huge but pretty mediocre. My wife and I also had the baked oysters which were very good, and the seared Ahi which was pretty sub-par. Moreover, the restaurant had a college football game on like some sports bar when it's supposed to be a family restaurant. We weren't impressed and left after our appetizers. In short, we probably wouldn't come back.
Courteous staff, great food at reasonable prices. View is the best.
Love their food. Great view and good service albeit it can be quite crowded at times.
Get the prime rib! Go early as sometimes they can run out. I recommend sharing it and getting another dish to share.
What a neat place. Wonderful waitress, recommendation awesome. Stiped Marlin, moon fish - fabulous. Couldn't have been better. Loved it. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
The hidden gem
It s like time stands still there
Food, staff and ambiance outstanding
Good food, great place, a bit pricey. But I recommend it.
The food was excellent, the service was great, and the ambiance was wonderful. Couldn't ask for more than that. Expect to pay a bit more than fast food, but the quality of the food will not disappoint.
Fantastic dining. I live on Oahu and have been looking for a place like this for ages. Beautiful backdrop, friendly staff and best prepared fish on the island as far as I know. Walk in only. Comparable to Mamas fish house on Maui.
This was the best dinner we had on the island!! I really appreciated the service and beautiful view as well. Couldn't have ended my wedding day any better.
Nice place and great food. Wanted to try the prime rib, but they were sold out. So we went with the grilled fish and the teriyaki top sirloin. Both were really good. Little bit of a wait but definitely worth it.
The views, the open air, the wait staff!! All wonderful. The food was tasty as well. Get the prime rib, you won't be disappointed. A pleasant family atmosphere. Be sure to take a walk down to the water after your meal!
I like the view from the open-air terrace, which makes me feel like Hawaii. It's still open only at 16:30 due to the corona effect... I don't have to be a Sunday brunch, so I'm happy to have lunchtime
The prime rib is enormous and very high quality. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor and the wait staff are totally on point.
Amazing food with a view. Offer great size portions and friendly service. Their small plates are enough to feed two people.
Amazing prime rib. The coconut shrimp was delicious as well.
The service and food was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect. If visiting Alaska this is a place yoh must visit for drinks and dinner.
Prime Rib, Wedge Salad, and Sunday Brunch. Great food, bar area, nice views, garden and pond area. Friendly staff and very accomodating.
