Kiawe Roots, Lawai HI

Made a reservation for 5 people at 730 pm the morning of, which I recommend because the dining area is small. Food was delicious and portions were generous. Our server was kind and made sure we were taken care of.

A MUST visit! This food here is incredible - creative, prepared to perfection, and so fresh. You’ll probably need a reservation but we managed to get them the same day.

We visited twice on our 5 day honeymoon:)

I don't often leave reviews, but this place deserves one! Amazing food and cocktails and the owner has a passion for what he does and it translates directly into what he produces for people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time. We ended up waiting 45 minutes for a text that never came.

The wait staff was kind and validated the choices we made. The Green Chile Skillet was delicious.

Best meal we’ve had on any Island. The food is amazing. This is a must go to restaurant. Be warned though it’s small and you might be here a minute but the waits worth it.

One of the best dinners you can find on the island. Locally grown goodness throughout. Barbecue meats are one of their specialties. Love sharing a plate or four with others. Dad's Fried Chicken appetizer is a must. Brussel Sprouts only on Fridays! Get a reservation. You will love the cocktails. Blackhawk for days!

Best meal thus far in Kauai! The meats were all smoked, tender, juicy, and had complex flavors. The Mac and cheese pasta appetizer is a large portion and delicious. Homemade chips are highly recommended!

Be sure to get a reservation a few days in advance as they are quite busy and a small venue. We finished off the evening with the Kauai Pie ice cream flavor - amazing!

We were passing through & looking for a place for breakfast so naturally we were unaware of reservations being suggested (def needed) so we ordered take-out. We felt the vibe was off already but we were hungry & food reviews were good. The lady taking our order wasn't having a good morning as she rolled her eyes after my spouse asked to change his order. The food was delicious, but I would rather spend my $ on a place with better customer service.

Amazing! Service, Food, Drinks.can't say enough about this place.the BBQ is definitely on the level! Best Loco Moco

We had the best lunch here! Food are fantastic! Love my wasabi fish not spicy at all just amazing. They have parking lot, price is very good if compare with another places on island this is 15-30$ per person

Really great find. The food is fantastic and the prices are some of the best we found on island. We ordered the smoked Gouda mac n cheese (everyone’s favorite), wasabi pea crusted fish, shrimp bowl and kalbi bowl.

Don't go here, you'll be treated to Poor service, absolutely slow. They cannot and will not take time to look at you and say that they can't serve you.
The bartender couldn't even give the time of day to give a menu for take out. I imagine that they're too incompetent to offer one

The best brunch I’ve ever had! Great for Hawaiian flare brunch. We went with a 6 top and everyone shared and tried their food and not one plate wasn’t phenomenal. I got the pork hash and fried rice and my husband got the pork ribs and jeeeez it was so amazing. Bloody Mary’s were also the bomb.
