Hula's Island Grill Tiki Room

Food was really good waitress was nice only downside is men's bathroom was disgusting and when we were done with plates no one would pick them up even after we stacked and organized them to try to make room to enjoy the rest of our meals and deserts.

Its good just not great. Its like what Outback is to Australia, but for Hawaii. Guessing with drinks it might be better, and the jerk dishes seem better than the rest. Also apps are better than entres

This was a rather surprising find. The non-meat menu was good.

Came in for dinner around 4:30pm on a Saturday and waited around 15 min to be seated (which is not bad. Usually wait times are a bit longer on weekends) we were sat inside, which I love the tiki vibe. We got edamame and calamari for appetizers which were both very good and came out pretty quickly. I got the fish tacos, which were just ok, and my guest got the poke bowl, which was delicious. This place gets busy, but if you can get a spot, it’s worth it.

The fam and I took a trip to Santa Cruz and I remembered this place from my college days, so we decided to check it out for dinner. It was about an hour wait for the 3 of us but we were finally seated. Our server was very nice and helpful. For drinks I ordered the Zombie and the wife ordered something...lol. It had bourbon in it. Mine was pretty good the wife said hers was good although she wouldn't order again (she doesn't like bourbon). For sides/apps we got sweet plantains which were tasty, Johnny cakes which were supposed to be like cornbread but wasn't our favorite. For mains the wife ordered Kimo's Broke Da Mouth burger which she thought was just ok. The son ordered the cheese quesadilla which he enjoyed, and I ordered the Kingston Crab Curry. It was supposed to be a little spicy, but it really wasn't. I really enjoyed the sauce though. Cool spot to check out if you're in the area
