    I am giving this place 3 stars for the very nice manager. If not, I would have given a 2 star review. My friends had the onion rings and pretzels, and they liked their appetizers. However, my first drink, the old fashioned, was not good. The Mai Tai was ok but not very strong. I ordered the special, a California pizza, and it was mediocre. The crust and chicken looked like it came from the freezer section of the supermarket. I would not recommend this place if you are able to go elsewhere.

    Such a solid place for good bar food! My wife and I were craving a good cheeseburger, and this place came through! We started with their Giant Pretzel with their house-made cheese sauce, and it was so good. It's bigger than your head, so it's a good app to share. Then we split the WBC Classic Cheeseburger with added bacon, and it was amazing! It came out hot, the patty was seasoned perfectly and juicy, it was just a perfect example of a classic burger.

    Great place to grab a bite to eat. I had the Ham and Pineapple pizza, only... they were out of the ham. Bacon is the other choice and you can't go wrong with bacon. I tried some of their onion rings too, that were great. It was all very tasty!! My husband got the Shaved Prime Cheeseburger. The bottom bun was a bit soggy but the rest of it had good flavor. His tator tots were just your average tots, but yummy. The waitress was very friendly.

    Good tasting beer and friendly bartenders. Also, the food is quite tasty. Great spot to sit and watch a game, there are many TVs and it is walking distance from the Hilton Hawaiian Village and all the other hotels and places to stay in waikiki. Highly recommend you try this great night spot. A+++

    The best Pina colada I've ever had and it was only $6... this place is a cheat code!

    Waikiki Brewing Company’s new location is a hidden gem in the heart of Waikiki. Located inside the food hall on the third floor of the shopping center. Very friendly staff and casual vibe. The smash burgers are tasty, and what's even better is that the menu prices are incredibly cheap. With draft beers at just $5 all day long, $6 burgers and refreshing piña coladas at $6, you'll be hard-pressed to find better deals in the area. I do wish they were open later but do understand that the entire food hall closes at 9PM.

    I like the atmosphere but really don't enjoy that they allow dogs in the place. Dogs and food don't go well, but I guess its more of a beer place anyway. Beers were pretty pricey and the food portions were pretty small. They messed up our food order, we told them we didn't order it, they took it back, but it was on our bill anyways... we also had to send the brisket back because it was room temperature (for who knows how long), they took it back and heat it up. One thing on the menu I did like a lot was the pretzel. Their sauces are all pretty vinegary and watery, not a real fan of any of them. Baked beans were SPICEY. Its a decent place, but for the price not worth it. I won't be going back, too many other good places in the area.

    Super nice bar area and reasonably priced. The giant pretzel lives up to its name. Craft light beer was delicious and too easy to drink. Would recommend

    Not sure why it doesn’t have more stars! Our food was tasty. My fiancé did find a cheese paper in his sandwich, but other than that, our sandwiches and giant pretzel were yummy. I love that they’re a brewery, but offer cocktails. The location is unbeatable and they have a lot of shaded outdoor dining.

    What a find! We are a beer drinking crew and ordered a flight (choice of 4 from their craft brew menu) which helped us determine what we wanted to drink. You can’t go wrong with their choices of beers. And then we were incredibly surprised with how amazing the food was! We opted for the pretzel appetizer (I recommend the cheese dip highly) and the meal portions are HUGE. We could have easily split our meal. And Thomas, our waiter, was just as attentive—great guy! We really had a wonderful time there. They have a nice patio to eat on if you prefer to eat outside (we did). I recommend this highly and we will return!

    New location on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center building C. It is located inside the Waikiki Food Hall. Same beer as at their other locations but cheaper. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food is available from a Cheeseburger in Paradise pop-up. Didn't try the food but it sounded good. Will definitely be back.

    Nice place to visit if you just want to get a good cheeseburger and beer. My cheeseburger was good, unfortunately my husband wanted to try what our server described as an island dish, unfortunately he did not care for it. He said it was good but not to his tasting. He did enjoy the crispy pork belly and the beer. The atmosphere was happy, music was good and the service was excellent.

    I am giving this restaurant a 1 star because of my experience. It started off well, got seated in a timely manner, placed drink order and dinner order. I ordered a French Dip but got a burger...I let the waitress know of the wrong order. She proceeded to tell me I thought this is what you meant, and tried to convince me to keep my order. I told her that I did not want the burger, she says cool then walks away. Not too much time after, a manager comes up, not quite sure if she wanted to make things right or argue that I had made the incorrect order. She says they are out of what I wanted. I told her that the waitress should have told me that. I even pointed to what I wanted on the menu. I ended up placing my order, I was literally pushed into placing an order. It didn't come till my party was done eating. In the meantime, the waitress ignored us knowing we needed our drinks refilled. I was told this was a great place to eat which is why we were there but I do not think my experience was great. The onion rings I ordered as an appetizer was good. Really weird experience. I would understand if my party was demanding and being disrespectful but we weren't.

    Really good hidden spot on the 3rd floor of the Royal Hawaiian (building C). Zach was hilarious 😂

    The prices have to be the best prices for food and especially drinks in Waikiki. Assuming they maintain the prices and good customer service, this is a must visit.

    GO HERE! So good!! I am not great with words but I love good food and great drinks. This place was next to the hotel we stayed at for a week. One of the first nights of our stay, we were exhausted and chose to eat here. Y’all, I cannot tell you how amazing the food tasted. We have been back at least three more times and each time the food keeps getting better. Seriously! So far we’ve had a few appetizers (the wings, crispy pork belly, and loaded pulled pork fries - their pizza oven was down due to a kitchen fire- but we heard the pizzas were good too) For the main meals we had the roasted beet salad, shaved prime rib sandwich, steak frites, pineapple fried rice with coconut shrimp, and pulled pork. The drinks were great depending on your taste but each one we tried was great. The coconut cheesecake with carmel drizzle for dessert hit the spot. The service was phenomenal and food was served efficiently despite them being busy. Even though my plan was to try multiple spots, I return here for the flavor. Also, their music is perfectly matched for the location. 😊 (The food was too good to wait, I didn’t take pictures!) We will return the next time we visit Oahu and I cannot wait!

    I really like this place. It’s well-made bar-style food, with friendly and attentive staff and a good selection of beers that is ever-changing. For fun, we tried a sampler of the Na Bro non-alcoholic beer, which actually was drinkable. That’s hard to accomplish. Bravo.

    I saddle up to the bar for what feels like the hundredth time but in reality is only the eleventh or twelfth. I order a Jalapeno Mouth, which is a beer every human should drink three or four times in their life. The hardest problem I have to solve...do I get wings (dry rubbed, smoked, and broiled...absolutely sublime) or pizza (so friggin' good)? Listen, you want these sort of problems in your life - come here and have them!

    Nice open air atmosphere. Food and drinks were really good! Our server was friendly and attentive. The pineapple fried rice with crispy coconut shrimp was delicious and a lot of food!

  • 5/5 Will T. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Arrived just after 5pm and stayed till 630. Was starting to get busy as I was finishing. The BBQ burger and fries were delicious. The bacon was a highlight. The BBQ sauce had a wonderful sweet bourbon flavoring. The coconut cheesecake had some pineapple with a strawberry glaze and was amazing! Highly recommend! The dark cherry mojito was also excellent.

    Came to tryout local craft beer and left with a lackluster feeling. I tried 2 flights of their various beers and the only one that left a decent impression an was the Han Ho hefeweizen. It had a good Bavarian feeling. It looked good with the typical unfiltered look. The flights are between $10-12 depending what you want to try. They come as 4 two ounce cups. We also tried the pizza, chicken Caesar, smoked brisket and onion rings. The meat plate was flavorful and came with side of spicy beans, potato salad, and corn bread. The salad was just like any other salad just smaller. The pizza are thin crust 10inch. The pizza was ok. The onion rings were fantastic! Perfect mix of crispy and flavorful sweet onion. The dining area is quite large. There are two bars. The outside dining area is dimly lit while inside is bright and cheerful. Merchandise like tshirts are available for sale so are a selection of beers in 6-packs. The service was great. Delilah was super friendly, and patient. She was super fun too. She was the highlight of the visit. Overall I'd try another brewery if looking to try local craft beer.

    Great atmosphere filled with locals and visitors to Honolulu. I ordered the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and it was perfect in every way. I had a great chat with a gentleman, native to Hawaii, and I couldn’t be happier with the vibe of the place.

  • 5/5 Michael O. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is great, we really enjoyed the pulled pork - so juicy and tender - and the poke appetizer was tasty. The keiki was very happy with his cheese pizza. Brisket also very nice, all 3 sauces for the smoked meats have their own qualities so hard to recommend one over the other besides getting whatever you are in the mood for.

    Great food and atmosphere! Great menu with food a step above typical bar food. Nice place to watch sports or sit out and enjoy the weather. Great staff and service! Highly recommend :)

    Arrived for dinner around 6:30, and was immediately sat. The server saw us sit ask and immediately just brought us waters.Edwin was very receptive and never irritated with my concerns/questions about food allergies. We had the pretzel for starters and it came with jalapeño cheese sauce (great flavor without the spice) and a mustard based dipping sauce. We had a local craft beer that was excellent. For main entree I had the pulled pork platter that came with pork, rice, beans, potato salad, and cornbread. I ate all the pork and cornbread and had no room left for anything else, large portions. Just excellent. The pork and rice was an unknown combo but delicious. The pork had a great flavor! The cornbread was perfect. I think the best I’ve had. It seems to pick up as we were leaving at 7:30.

  • 5/5 Albert G. 2 years ago on Google
    The.best.pulled.pork.ever! Super flavorful, the beans were spicy and good, the rice and potato mc salad provided a balance in competing flavor, and the buttery cornbread was spot on. I only tried a blonde beer but was great.

  • 5/5 Andreyha S. 2 years ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this place. Cool atmosphere, incredible food and great beer! I didn't take a picture but the wings are freaken amazing. 10/10 recommend.

  • 4/5 Thulasi K. 2 years ago on Google
    Located in Honolulu downtown; this was a great spot for a meal. It was very open and welcoming. Lots of TVs to watch sporting events. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. We tried the onion rings which were delicious. Not too oily and pairing it with ranch dressing was perfect. I tried the cheese pizza which I thought was ok. My hubby tried the impossible burger which was also decent. I liked this place for the atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Ryan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Beer was decent. Pizza was alright. I had the veggie pizza. Needed more basil and less garlic chunks (wouldve been better if minced). Service was good. Prices were good for Waikiki/Hawaii.

  • 5/5 Matthew O. 2 years ago on Google
    I have eaten here 3 times in the last 5 days. Great food everytime. Service is fast, staff is friendly. Beer is great!!
