Shannon BrienJune 22, 2014Lana was rude from the moment we walked through the door. She was aggressively pushing people into her section and rolling her eyes at customers. Thank goodness our server Christop was fantastic!Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Stephen FoxMay 30, 2013Our fish sandwich came with 2 huge portions of filets. Sure, items are expensive here, but you should expect that in an airport. Service is fast, food is above par, & local brews make it all better.
Joe StainbrookOctober 2, 2014Good place to kill some time before/between flights. If you're alone, sit at the bar and watch TV or make new friends with other solo travelers!
Rannon BDecember 30, 2013Best airport food I probably have ever had. Get the pork sandwich!! Anthony the bartender is awesome. Treats you well and is very cordial!- Chris CaloJuly 28, 2013The hummus plate is huge and actually makes for a good meal. Pretty healthy, too, with mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumber.
Monk MattmanJanuary 31, 2015Delicious wings and beer. I wouldn't recommend anything else for those with more refined palates like myself.
Emomee ZJuly 20, 2012My husband and I split a Captain Cook pizza, and it was the perfect amount of food and surprisingly delicious.
Dan FrankApril 26, 2011The Koko Brown Ale is delicious! Flavorful beer with just a hint of delicious coconut; definitely give it a try
Andrew AndrewOctober 26, 2011There are wonderful outdoor spaces to explore! Goto the Kona Brewing Co, grab a drink, and then explore the gardens'
Christian KidwellJuly 2, 2012The wings are great!! They start off smooth and finish with a nice hot spice.- TK TerukinaDecember 27, 2010Great service. Imu pork sandwich so yummy. Fries little salty but overall experience was good. If you think it's too expensive, then go to McDonalds!
Bruce HomerAugust 6, 2013Better than your average airport joint. Beer was good and service was great. Decent burger and fries.
Claudia A.June 13, 2013If you want a strong cocktail, order a Blue Hawaiian. Mmmmmmhm... it's "manly" strong.
Edward GonzalesSeptember 6, 2014Beer is good. Airport quality food and prices. Chicken wings were a little dry but acceptable by airport food standards.
Dave ZhouAugust 26, 2012Sit at the bar, get the Kailua Wheat, and swap stories with Yama the bartender
Erin MangleJanuary 6, 2013Airport prices! The nachos are $15, a full pizza for $20, sandwiches at $15....
Julie CarrierMay 21, 2011Great food at a reasonable price with very friendly staff! Good last stop before leaving Oahu!
Cat FithianNovember 15, 2013Wish I had discovered the beers earlier in my visit instead of when waiting for my flight home. Yummers!
Chris LuceroAugust 31, 2010To everyone saying its expensive, shut it! Your at the damn airport :) Beer is awesome and people are friendly.
Brett MeyerDecember 29, 2011All of Kona Brewing Company's beer that is available on the mainland is produced in Oregon and New Hampshire. :(
Alex SandarsApril 23, 2011They're not giving anything away here @ KBC but good place to chill b/w flights and a nice view of 1 of the gardens.
Michele GorhamAugust 9, 2013We're out of chicken and steak...with a limited menu it didn't leave us with many choices...we went elsewhere
James AguilarAugust 25, 2013Pricey even by airport standards. But when you want a lunchtime beer, you want it.
Kailua Town club is great with the avocado before the long haul back to the mainland.
Aaron LewisAugust 14, 2012Beers are good and view is cool, but the food prices qualify as highway robbery.
Bill BJuly 24, 2010Expensive, but friendly, clean, good food, large TVs, and a great place to kill time! Much nicer than the food court.
Scott MullinsMay 13, 2012Sunset burger was decent. Overall just an average airport eatery. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Bethany PhillipsJanuary 21, 2012Reminded me of an expensive Friendly's, only open until 10:30 on a Friday, server was very nice though and there were not really any other options.
