Tiki's Grill & Bar and Holokai Grill & Bar Reviews

Good service, beautiful view, a bit pricey but so is everything in Waikiki.

The drinks at this place are exceptional, and the happy hour drink selection makes those drinks even better because they are cheaper than usual. If you go during the evening time, it turns more into a club with a dancefloor with great music. The drinks are great, the music is excellent, and the people here are friendly. I cannot wait to come back! As a side note: they do not have their own washroom, so you have to go across the hall to Bubba Gump. I found this peculiar but it's not that big of a deal.

Decent portion sizes at standard Oahu prices. Food is well cooked, well seasoned and great quality produce with plenty of flavour. Restaurant can get very noisy with the way it is laid out; live music some evenings can make it very hard to hear unless you are in the far end of the restaurant.

The burger was awesome! The kona bread bun makes for an awesome looking and very tasty burger.

food
Very good. Shrimp and Lula very tasty .... well ordered. The place has an incredible vibe. Worth it.

We had a reservation for this place and still had to wait about good 20 minutes for them to find us a table, the food is well below average and the only thing we liked was the furkake fries other than that the food is very pricey but tiki s does not do a good job at distincting themselves from other places in terms of quality taking into consideration the overpriced entree s.

Food was OK, thought a little high on price compared to the value and quantity of food. Service was great, staff was very on top of drinks and food.

Unexpected found here in Honolulu!! The restaurant is located just above Kal maua Avenue and offers excellent food at fair prices (15-20 for an appetizer and 25-35 for an entree in the average). The server are fast and super kind, and if you like, you also take the chance to get a photo of your group by a photographer.

Food was OK, I didn't appreciate that they bring starter and main at the same time! Please

Service and Food were wonderful. The Watermelon Feta Salad....sooooo Delicious.

Went for happy hour with my wife. Great drinks and good food. The staff is very cool and down to earth. Ambee and the other 2 bartenders made us feel welcome. Overall good vibes ...thank you guys

This place is rad: great food, awesome drinks, spectacular view. It does so much at once that many of the more upscale restaraunts in the area don't, at good value. Casual vibe, family friendly, and nice aesthetic. Our server was Zach, and he was a rockstar, super accommodating and friendly. We had a party of 8 with 2 kids under 2, and it was easy to keep them happy.

I've been here on past trips with a similar experience. Just my wife and I coming for dinner and drinks at sunset. It was incredible, and we especially loved the drinks.

Place with tiki in the name and some guys playing guitar and ukulele, what more could you want?! I had their speciality quesadilla and two fruity adult beverages. It was all enjoyable sitting on the roof watching the ocean. Sweet server from North Carolina made me feel right at home. Would definitely go back.

Sat outside on second floor with a spectacular view of the ocean in front.
Best fish sandwich ever (and the drinks were pretty good as well!)
Friendly staff.

Sat at the corner and enjoyed the sunset and amazing drinks. One even out of a cut pineapple. Really enjoyed it!

Okay so this place is amazing! We stopped by with 8 people full tourist status and they really accommodated us. The server was super busy so the manager came to the table and took care of us. The manager was the best, like no joke the best. He gave us stuff to try and was so attentive and chill. I litterally told him "just give me something good" and he no joke brought out some amazing hawaiin food. The service was excellent and the food was amazing.

Great food, drinks, service. Fish was delicious. The live music was fun too. We had a great patio spot.

Enjoyed the venison burger. Especially knowing some of the proceeds go to the Hawaii Agricultural Foundation.

Comfortable rooftop seating with moderate prices. The service and drink selection was average while the menu prices were for moderate for a hotel bar. I came on the recommendation of a friend but left less than impressed.

I can say that the katsu calamari is one of the best thing i ever had. And i ate food all around the world, well done. The coco shrimp were nice. Drinks were nice. Location is a+, waiter was nice. Fun times.

Macadamia nut crusted catch of the day fish is wonderful! Live band too!

Love the view overlooking the beach! Gorgeous sunset. Food is ok so far, considering the prices. The two times I dined here, service was ok; hence, I only gave a 3 star or 3 and a half.

Cheap Mai Tai's ($3.95) that were on the strong, and therefore good, side. The place had a good vibe, with an interesting blend of old and young, fun (rock) music and the occasional interesting customer-dancers.

Great spot, nice cocktails. Acceptable tourist prices.

Good food, service, and drinks. Can have cocktails and food by the pool

Wasnt great. Nice and honest server. Even the recommended food was bland and forgetable. I had the french dip and the meat was poor quality. The fries we an interesting shape but not amazing. Others had the fush sticks and they were over cooked and burnt. The spice poke wasnt spicy. The burgers looked good so ill give them that. I would find somewhere else unless youre desperate.

I selected Tikis for our wedding dinner on 9/5/19. My friends and family loved the food and view! The service was great and it felt like a very special dinner. If you are looking for a great view and want to have a sunset dinner after your destination wedding, I'd choose Tikis.

Tikis also has two awesome event coordinators Jenni and Jennifer! They were great throughout the whole process. Your event can be low key or more like a wedding reception they do it all!

Awesome atmosphere, great service, food and beverages. Really enjoyed the live music too. We'll be back! Keep up the great work!

I think the bar tender needs to actually put alcohol in the drinks, friendly service nice torches

Great view along Waikiki Beach and food are pretty good with live music.

Great atmosphere. Staff was attentive but at times seemed over stretched. Food is awesome. Calamari was to die for as were the edamame appetizer. Get both of those

It was the most delicious of the restaurants I ate in Waikiki.

Service was very slow!!!! Had 2 different servers and niether were good. The food was decent, over priced for the taste. Atmosphire would have been better possibly later in the evening but thats not the resturants fault. Would have been better if the waitress wouldnt have been so worried if she looked good or not.

Our server was nice, prices were okay, but the service was ridiculously slow. We went around 2 pm and it was not busy at all. Waited almost 40 minutes for our appetizer, a salad, and wrap, all of which were brought at the same time. Drinks were watered down a bit. Great view of Waikiki, but would skip this place unless that's all you're looking for.

Really liked this place. We did find the server person at the who seats everyone to be dismissive of those who had not had reservations. Some people were genuinely upset by her.
Otherwise the food is good, access is easy and the drinks are fun. View is spectacular and particularly at sunset you get one of the best framed views with the palm trees. Worth dropping in, with a reservation prior as to not be dismissed at the door.

Photo situation is a bit awkward.
Someone took our photo and said the first one is free and we could purchase more after he comes back. We thought he'd come back when we sere done eating, but he came when our mouths were in the middle of a good discussion. Anyway, photos were nice but I think the price was maybe $25 for 1, $30 for both. That puts us over our budget, so we passed.

Food was yummy, I only wish there was more per plate because of the cost. If it was more affordable, I would have returned again for sure.

The menu offers hawaiian food. I didn't really like it, but it was ok. The atmosphere was good, but the prices a bit expensive.

Food was ok. Portions were small for the cost. Servers constantly try to upsell. Taro rolls looked better than they tasted. Ambiance was nice. Views are stellar.

I like Tiki's and have taken other visitng friends there before, it's fun to get the pineapple or coconut drinks that everyone loves. The food and drinks are a little higher than average but you are in the heart of waikiki and across from the Duke statue.

Service is good. Drinks are ok. Good view. Food is ok.

We were just walking around and decided to eat something here
Chicken wings and pizza was perfect

Great food! Great drinks! Great ambiance! The staff are very friendly! I love going to Tiki s!

Good customer service, inviting atmosphere. Great food and drinks. Goos value for sollae2

Can't speak for how the food tastes because we didn't get that far after waiting 30 min without even having our drink order taken we decided to leave. Beautiful setting horrible service.

Poor service. Short pour for very expensive wine. Food was good though!

Nice to eat, prices a little high, we location. Quite noisy

Horrible. We ordered fish n chips and fish tacos. Fish n chips is pretty much fool proof. Typically you should never blame server for slow food service. Kitchens get backed up. But I do blame server when they bring food out 35 minutes after it's ordered and food is cold. Especially when they are seen standing around chatting with their friends. Our order was probably sitting a good 15 minutes. Additionally he never refreshed iced tea or lemon aide. Had to go up to bar for the refill. And we were not in the bar area. Avoid this place. People around us were equally annoyed at poor service. Fish tacos cold and poor as well.

Good service, great views of Kuhio Beach, and delicious food. Priced appropriately for the location.

We came in to watch the Chiefs game. They serve breakfast until 11:30am and then they have a 30 minute period of no food until lunch menu at 12:00pm. We had great drinks that were a lot cheaper than most bars around that we've been to. We also tried the poke bowl and nachos.

Good local place to hang. Ellsworth and his crew are awesome!

Ordinary food for the price. Decent service but gimmicks like restaurant photographers trying to sell photos. Wouldn't go back.

The pulled pork sandwich is to die for! Always good friendly service too.

Happy hour drinks and live music - great afternoon.

The location and the service is very good, but the food that we got did not have a good quality. The back ribs that we ordered was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Also, half of the rib was from an end cut, were there are no ribs in the meat and it is mainly fat. We have had back ribs in many restaurant, in North America and this was by far the worst of them. Also, we got a bowl of their Ahi Poke which was okay, but a bit too salty.

Neat place to get a refreshing beverage! Great atmosphere

Great atmosphere on the second floor above all the traffic and noise. Cold drinks, tasty pupus. Beautiful view of the ocean.

Beautiful outdoor eating on the second floor, across the street from the ocean. Grilled fish sandwich was delish. Live music starts at 4:30pm.

Good service.... felt special on a special occasion.

My wife Amy and i stayed at the Aston Waikiki for 7 nights, we ate and had drinks in the Tiki Bar every night and had an absolutely great time every night. Food was amazing, drinks we're amazing and the bar and waiter staff we're the best.. Cole, Jessie, John, Ben and Sean we're all great and we cant wait to hopefully come back some day.. Love the place.. Mahalo

Great sunset view with good friends--the prime rib was bad either!

Had a late lunch with the fam here-loved it! Grab a beer while you're at it!

Waited over 10 mins to be helped by our server. I m a patient person and the restaurant was empty. We were forgotten and as we got up to leave she rushed over..Food was cold and mediocre. Drinks are wayyy better elsewhere. Disappointed to say the least as the reviews and location proved otherwise ! If I could rate 0 stars I would.

Mediocre food that you can get at any bar. The service however was the worst part about this place. Still tipped 20% because it was a nice bar and has live music but took about half an hour to get a glass of water while watching tables who just sat down beside us get greeted first. Food served with no silverware. The drinks were weak and overpriced. The staff that does the table cleaning however was nice and got us water and silverware. The server would walk about every time I m about to ask for anything including just a side of blue cheese. There s plenty other places to eat in Waikiki, save yourself the trouble.

The food is good. The wait staff is great (special mention to John). The manager was also very friendly (Jared). I like the ambiance and the location (walking distance from my hotel).

This place is supremely delicious. The only downside is the portions are small for the price. I highly recommend the Prime Rib Poke. Also, if you are an experienced alcoholic, try the 1944 Mai Tai. Incredibly awesome view from the lanai .

At 60, it just isn't my type of place and the food was very average...needs some fire back in its belly...great location
