Kalaheo Steak and Ribs

Good dinner tonight! I had the New York steak with a baked potato and was very satisfied:). We also had the mushrooms that were amazing and calamari that wasn’t bad however I won’t be ordering in the future. There was an awesome salsa type band playing that was a nice change for normal Kauai style entertainment

Stay away from this place! The menu was uninspired and the service was awful. In fact, after waiting over 30 minutes for our steaks to arrive (this is while others who were seated after us had already rec’d their meals) we decided to leave. The owner of the restaurant said she’d take care of our bill for drinks and appetizers but offered no apologies. Instead she explained that they only had a small grill in back. After wasting 90 minutes there, we left and stopped at Bubba’s for burgers on the way home. Now that was worth the wait!

Hands down, the best ribs I’ve ever had. The meat fell off the bone and the sauce was excellent. Very well priced. Service wasn’t anything to rave about but the food and value earns 5 starts from me.

Never heard of this restaurant before but looked at menu and it was varied so decided to be brave and try it. I ordered the filet mignon which came with a side of vegetables it was superb it was totally worth the $ 35. If get there and orderbefore 6pm yyou get bread pudding with a white sugar and also a red sauce… delicious. The atmosphere is homie doesn’t look like much from the outside but don’t let that stop you. It has a full bar also.

What a disappointment. Read the reviews and thought we were in for some good food. Immediately after being brought to our table, they brought us water and dried out bread smothered in butter. My husband ordered filet mignon which came with a baked potato and a salad. No real seasoning on the filet not even salt and pepper. Surprising lack of grill marks for a steak joint. Not sure what I was thinking but I ordered the meatloaf It was super mushy so I didn’t eat much of it. My husband ate it a few days later and said it was ok– looked like it firmed up a bit being in the fridge a few days. The service was brusque but efficient. Menu was boring. Our reservation was at 5:45 pm and they were already out of several items. This was hard to imagine given the limited variety on the menu. We won’t be back.

If I remember correctly, this place has or did have this big bucket of clams or mussels you could order. Pure heaven.

Excellent service! Very attentive. I suggest getting the steak or ribs since it is a steak and ribs house! Went there for salsa night, that was fun! Where it would get one more star is if they had kept their dogs out of the place where paying customers eat. i love dogs… but what if someone is allergic? And kids menu Needs a veggie option for sides…

Great prime rib and caesar salad. Service was very good and attentive.

We were invited to go here friends. Three of us had the prime rib and one had the. tuna, The prime rib was OK, but nothing special and the potatoes were dry. The fish was very dry and over cooked. Also the fish tasted old. On top of all this, it was very pricey for the quality of the food. Don’t think we will be going back.

Certainly a splurge and the streak is delicious (Ono). We had a very friendly & efficient dining service experience during Happy Hour (4:30−6pm). The cocktails were discounted but mediocre and desert (Molokai Sweet Bread Pudding) was complementary (with entrée ordered during HH) but again desert quality was nothing to right home about.

We actually came to this place by accident. So I had the ribs, & baked potato. The potato wasn’t completely cooked and lukewarm. I sent it back to have it reheated, but it was still undercooked. The ribs were warm underneath the small pile. I gave up and just ate a few and took the rest back to the hotel room refrigerator. Very disappointed at my meal, my husband had the fish special. He said it was okay but very small portion for the price. I wished it was a great find for dinner but it wasn’t worth the money we paid. Very nice waitress, it wasn’t her fault for so so food.

Oh my goodness! We had such a lovely and delicious prime rib dinner here. Miriam our sever took really good care of us. Very relaxed vibe. There was no room left in our tummies for dessert.

Great little restaurant! Very friendly environment! The whole staff is friendly and inviting. Food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. We love coming here! I dont think they are any more expensive then other steak and ribs restaurants… I definitely think you get your money’s worth!

Great Sunday night dinner. Attentive staff and well cooked steaks. A band was playing in the saloon, going to dine in there next time.

This is a jewel of a steakhouse and you MUST come here. We have been in Kauai for two weeks and this is the only restaurant we have dined at twice. Tonight we had the prime rib dinner and the flavor was amazing, the creamed horseradish was perfect, the vegetable fresh and oh so tasty. The service is down home friendly and sincere. Everyone who works here loves their job and everyone helps the patrons enjoy their evening. And their prices are so fair. Included with your entrée is a delicious salad with homemade dressing, we had the Ceasar tonight and it was delicious, a very tasty bread, vegetable, starch and if you dine before 6pm, a delicious homemade Lilikoi bread pudding. Clean restrooms and GREAT country music. On our next visit to Kauai this will be our first night out for dinner. Do yourself a favor and give this restaurant a try.

The service and dessert was the best part. Our waitress Dee was very nice and attentive.
The meals are so over priced. This isn’t your local steak house back on the main land. All the steak and rib entrees start at $ 30. They come with a small, and I mean very small side of vegetables, a starch and a salad.
I got the filet mignon and it was blain. No real flavor. It didn’t seem like they seasoned it at all. Husband got the ribeye which was great but only after smothering it in A1. Out of the 8 adults and 2 children the best meal went to my Dad who got the ahi tuna special and my nephews mac and cheese kids meal.
If I was rating only my meal I would given it 1 star but the mix of delicious ahi tuna special, the desserts and Dees service I bumped it up to 3 stars. For a final cost of $ 420 I just expected better food. I left feeling disappointed.

A neighborhood gem. So awesome and delicious! Great service from Noe. What a treasure

When in Kauai you have to make sure to stop on Kalaheo Steak and Ribs. Excellent service and great food. Hint — get the before 6PM and you get free dessert; Moloka’i bread pudding with Irish Cream and strawberry sauce. Yeah a little pricey but along the lines to other restaurants on Oahu. Dinner includes a good sized side salad and we got the dessert. Mmmmmmmm

Overpriced for sure, but the local ambiance saves this place.
I am so lucky to have friends/​family in Kauai who we can stay with. Part of this experience includes breakfast everyday and delicious homemade Puerto Rican Hawaiian fusion. However, after a few days, we wanted to treat our hosts, so my sister and I took the lady of the house down to the neighborhood steakhouse not three minutes from their house. We booked reservations ahead for the downstairs dining room so we could enjoy the scheduled live music while eating.
Looking at the menu and knowing I was treating our host, I felt I had very few options considering the steak alone was $ 40. Not being too enticed by some of the less expensive plates, I decided to get the calamari steak appetizer and make it a meal but adding a side baked potato.
— the calamari steak was small in portion and looked as if it had been a pre-​made frozen dish that was warmed with a dash of sauce added. The lemon caper sauce had a nice flavor and was definitely necessary considering there wasn’t much going on with the calamari. The baked potato was accompanied by butter, sour cream, green onions, and bacon, so that was nice.
My sister and our company ordered the burger which looked pretty good. I should have gone with my other choice which was the mussels appetizer. After smelling them at the table next to ours, I had a feeling they were probably garlic-​buttery delicious.
The live music from the local band really saved this place for me. They were fun, lively, and took requests from the audience. Being the California girl that she is, my sister requested Hotel California not too long into their performance, and they did a great job making it work despite it being years since they did that song.
Lots of fun and entertainment. I was excited about returning the next night for Karaōke, but it didn’t happen this time. Maybe the next visit.

I’m being generous going three stars here — I can’t go full-​on «meh» two stars, but it’s 2 ½ at most. The food itself was okay enough. My order was messed up but quickly corrected. Husband’s steak was good. Salads were fine.
I got the «Meatloaf and Mash
Freshly made in house. It’s served with mushroom gravy, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. $ 18»
It was just okay, and I didn’t want to eat much of it. Definitely not the highlight of the menu and I wish I had gotten a better recommendation from the waitress.
Husband got the «New York Steak
Grilled to perfection and served with fresh vegetables. $ 28»
and it was indeed grilled to perfection.
It’s just the service was really spotty. If you’re a local, they love you — and I get that, these are the people who keep you in business year-​round. But be nice to us out of town folks too. We tell our friends. ;)
