Stopped by here because I had read about it on TA. You walk up to a window to order and then if you're lucky you'll find a table under an umbrella outside. There is not a whole lot of seating indoors or out. Inside is a small room that is hot and kinda dirty looking. Umbrella tables were already taken,... More

Yum! Yum! and YUM! These guys make the juiciest, most mouth-watering burger ever. Get more napkins, you're gonna need em'. And the burgers are huge - we could have easily split one. Definitely get the potatoes, which are also done to perfection with a wonderful seasoning. The only reason the Grill does not get 5 stars, is the due to... More

If you rate this place for just the food, it absolutely gets 5 stars from me! We went here three times on our North Shore vacation and loved the food each time. Burgers, handmade fries, shrimp... everything we had here was fantastic. The wait time is excessive whether you are standing in line or after you order, it does take... More

The food here is average, the waitstaff is young, goodlooking, cheerful, the atmosphere is nice, although conservative/mormons seem to frequent the area it seems to work out ok. The wait times can be really bad, I have waited over half an hour for a burger before with no sides. Otherwise it would get an average rating. There is a public... More

We went on a bike ride from Turtle Bay Resort and the staff at the bike rental place recommended Kahuku Grill. The food was delicious. I had coconut shrip and my wife had garlic shrip. I didn't have a burger, but they looked delicious & huge. The waitress was very courteous. Couple things that kept me from giving it an... More

We stopped in because we were not interested in paying such high prices for food at our hotel (turtle bay resort). Kahuku Grill was very good. I got the shrimp basket with fish. Comes with a very fresh salad (great dressing) and I opted to get the fries instead of rice. Fries are great!!! And they give you sauce to... More

This is a small place located in an area where you see a lot of shrimp trucks. This place is actually a building. I had the coconut shrimp which were delicious and my friend had a burger which was great. There is outside seating which was nice. It is not a fancy place so pretty much anything goes with regards...

Short drive from Turtle Bay. Cheap. Fresh and delicious. The coconut prawns are the best ever. It's a little roadside restaurant take away place. A cheap alternative to eating in resort.
