    Excellent place for great bar grub. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs. Food arrived quickly. Great atmosphere or ambience if you will. Sports bar set up. I would go back in a heartbeat!

    Good parking. Large restaurant and bar. Huge portions at decent prices. Nice staff. We were there on a Wednesday night and they had live music 🎶🎙️👩‍🎤. Chickens roaming about doesn't phase anyone 😁. Clean bathrooms was the cherry 🍒 on top 🙌. Discount for paying in cash!! Would definitely come back. Next time I'd split a plate with the hubby and grab a small side.

    The wings were great. Incredible sauce. The Korean Bulgogi was wonderful. No rice all greens for me. The staff was so inviting and helpful. Well worth the walk from Royal Sonesta 🚶🚶

    Possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. Local Kauai beef adds a touch of flair to a classic burger that nails the basics. It could’ve used a bit more salt/seasoning and the fries weren’t all the way hot, but this didn’t detract from the experience. Definitely recommend.

    Hidden little gem! So happy we found it on our first visit to Kauai! We were greeted with friendly folks. The one thing we didn’t like is they had a singer there was sang so loudly we could hardly carry on a conversation. I had the chicken teriyaki bowl…5 stars, minus the kimchi. Husband had the pulled pork combo plate. He enjoyed it! Very reasonable!

    I'll start off by saying this place was highly recommended so we came here with somewhat higher expectations. We were seated right away but it took another 10 minutes before our order was taken and they were not busy at all and looked to have a lot staff working. Our burger was well done when we wanted medium rare. I really hope for the rest of the island that Rob's doesn't have the best burgers on the island. French dip was good but nothing to rave about. Dipping sauce was very watered down. Waitress didn't stop back for refills or ask how the food was until she handed us the check some time later. A+ atmosphere tho.

    The food was amazing.!! 10 stars to the cook! We got there before the rush. Service was good But then we had to wait a bit for Some service after we had gotten our food. But it is understandable when they're busy. Definitely recommend.!! The mother's day special was Amazing!

    I have had Rob's Good Times Grill bookmarked for several years so, we were so excited to finally get to come here. One of the best things is they take reservations which I called and made earlier in the day. We were promptly seated upon arrival. The first thing that fascinated my girls was the live music being played. They loved it. When the beautiful Hula dancer started dancing, both my girls were mesmerized. They couldn't take their eyes off of her. My 5 year old was so fascinated, she begged me to ask her how she put flowers on her hair which the beautiful lady graciously answered. Service was quick and efficient and Shelly took such good care of us. My girls loved her. Hubby got the Strawberry Patron Shot and he liked it. I kept seeing the tuna poke nachos in most of the reviews, so we hard to order it. It was just as delicious as all the reviews stated. We ordered the Misoyaki Salmon for my toddlers to split and they absolutely loved it but I think they loved their dad's Ono plate even more. I got the Hawaiian plate and it was absolutely delicious. My girls really enjoyed the Kalua pork from my plate. So I was about to submit this review yesterday and then something serendipitous happened, that too in line waiting for gas at Costco. We met Scooby there. The universe brought him and us together when we both needed it the most. Scooby told us he works at Rob's Good Times Grill and invited us to come back. We went back last night and he treated us like we are long lost family. We will never forget the kindness he showed us. This beautiful place is going to be a must stop for us everytime we visit. Highly recommend!

    MUST try the french dip. I ordered the burger and it was good but I ended up stealing half of the French Dip sandwich from my husband because it was delicious! Don’t be like me, order your own french dip. You won’t regret it 😝

    Great place to eat near the airport in Kauai. Rob's was recommended by our rental car shuttle driver and he wasn't wrong on this one. Really good food at a fair price. We went back when returning our car for Happy Hour and got $2 off drinks and $10 fish tacos that were great. Don't miss the Furikake Fries! Also live entertainment and lots of sports on TV

    We ❤️ Rob's Good Times Grill...Such a fun sports bar vibe. It has this cool indoor/outdoor living feeling with the whole front section open air. They have wild chickens cruising around that are so cute. They have TVs everywhere too so you won't miss a game! Let's talk about the food and drinks 😋 It's so Ono!! We have come multiple times on our trip. Everything is so fresh and made w/ Aloha. We tried so many things...Poke Nachos, Poke Bites, Bau Buns, Sashimi, Poke Bowls, Bulgari Bowls, Margaritas, Strawberry Mojitos and the Galaxy... EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS ! WE RECOMMEND EVERYTHING 🤙🤙 🤙 Finally let's talk about the people... Everyone was so nice and treated us like ohana. We had Dylan for our server twice, she remembered us right as we came in, she remembered our drinks and made excellent recommendations. We also had the opportunity to meet the head chef Sabre Kennedy, he was kind to take time out of his day to come out and meet us. Fun Fact about the owner we learned he is a Sun Devil

    Just had lunch there with friends. Food very good plus they have an extensive choice of draft beer. Pretty decent lunch menu. Service folks very accomodating. We were there at 11:30 am,it was sort of quiet but by 2 pm, place was packed. If you're coming with a group, best to make reservations, otherwise will have to wait to be seated. Would definitely go there again.

    Food was okay. Been a couple weeks since our visit, but unlike some other memorable restaurants, nothing stands out from our experience at Rob's other than the judgemental server. They have live music and hula dance etc. Unfortunately, the service took away everything from whatever good the restaurant might offer. The Mai Tai here was my least favorite in all of Hawaii. Something strange about the drink and definitely watered down.

  • 1/5 Kazumi 11 months ago on Google
    We came here by looking at the review rate, but it's hard to recommend. We were told it's about 15-20 minutes wait although we saw many table available. So we asked if we can have a drink at the bar while we wait and the waitress said she will ask the bar. Eventually, we were seated immediately. The "must try pork" was soooo salty to eat, so at the time we asked for the bill, we told the waitress then she charged half the price for the pork. It was the worse food we had and it was very disappointing. I don't want to go again.

    Rob's was our first stop for lunch after landing in Lihua for our first trip to Kauai. It was a great choice for a bite to eat! The service was excellent, the food was tasty, and the place was fun. Highly recommend the Chili Pepper Chicken and the French Dip. The burger could use a revamp though, it was very plain and boring even after paying extra for some toppings. And we had trouble talking over the music that seemed a little bit too loud, but that's also part of a bar and grill. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!

    Great food, friendly service, good drinks. We had poke nachos. It's a large serving. The fish sandwich was perfect. There's live music with dancing and a large bar. It's perfect for everyone.

    Although we almost left without eating here because of all the signs warning of predatory towing practices leaving us too nervous to park our car here, this place is highly recommended by several locals. This place has very good food with a reasonable wait for a table and for food. The stuffed mushrooms were a bit too fishy tasting for a crab meat stuffing. But the burgers and beers were outstanding.

    Great drink deals and the food is basic, unless you drank enough. Nice atmosphere with garage doors so you can feel the real air when open. Ordered dine in make your own grilled cheese.

  • 5/5 Dennis L. 11 months ago on Google
    Yes. Here. Good. What a place! The food was amazing. Don’t let them casual atmosphere fool you. Waitress was awesome. Calamari sticks. Wow. Huge and good. Steak bowl Ava smoked meat plate. They will forever be in my food dreams.

  • 4/5 Marisol A. 1 year ago on Google
    The only reason I rated a 3/5 in atmosphere, it was soo loud you can hardly hear each other, he had to move outside, but if your going to the live music or watching a game, great place....food was great and service was quick!

  • 5/5 Micah A. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheaper eats on the island!!! Some locals we knew recommended that we try this place. The poke nachos were so delicious. The poke was so fresh and had such good flavor, and the chips were more like wonton chips. It paired really well. I got the pepper chicken plate. It has a slight kick with it because of the pepper. The fried chicken was so fresh because it was fresh oil.

  • 5/5 Allison O. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped in for a late lunch and drinks not expecting much from a sports bar. We got so much more! The food was hands down one our favorites on the island. The teriyaki chicken bowl and the bao buns were top notch. The staff were all incredibly friendly and even offered great suggestions for the rest of our trip.

    The food here is delicious and prepared exquisitely. Orders arrive soquickly and each item we ordered didn't disappoint. Everything here is scrumptious. We came back the next evening for live music got to see Kawai(A must see, Love you Kawai!. They had 3 bands playing Wednesday evening. and good food. We ate off the popular pupu menu. Busy, busy place. They do reservations!! We walked in on Tuesday during happy hour 4pm-6, but we made reservations for Wednesday glad we did they were packed. Didn't have to wait our table was right by the stage in a breezy and cool spot. We had Naia and Tasha as our servers, these Ladies love their job and it showed. Gracious and have great recommendations.

    What a gem! We went Saturday the 30th. The food was delicious. The hostess was so kind and fast. Our server was working her butt off to keep up with everyone's needs. The food came out quickly. One of the best places we ate all weekend. The live music was amazing. 3 people in the band, 2 women (both singing, 1 playing the ukulele) and 1 man on the bass. I could've sat there and listened all night long. Should've gotten their name. We'll definitely be back. Can't wait!

    I had the ribeye and it showed up covered in gravy, which was a little disconcerting because usually they hide a bad piece of meat under gravy. But it was delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband had the barbecue plate and he loved it. It's total bar ambiance, and was super loud. But all in all we had a great time and the food was good..... service was pretty good too. I forgot to take photos before we cleaned off the plates, so here's what was left😂😂😂

    Solid Hawaiian food. Great Kauai beef burger and fries. Hawaiian plate: Kalua pork is pretty good, fresh poke. First time trying lomi sushi, similar to salsa; poi is similar to chinese red bean congee but more sour and starchy.

    The wait staff was fast, the drink list was extensive and the entertainment was good. The prices were horrible! It's like a mix of San Francisco with Seattle prices at a fancy restaurant, but the food you received wasn't a lobster tail, but a small plate of nachos. If you're in a pinch, it isn't bad, but if you get 1 beer, an appetizer and a main, you're out $70 easily.

  • 5/5 Anna C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience! Locals were very friendly and helpful in choosing our meals. Staff were friendly! I had stirfry which was amazing and I ate every morsel! My hubby had French dip and fries. The sandwich was awe, fries nothing special but the sandwich was delicious! A definite place to go. All meals were about $15 - $20, typical of what we have found. But again not a tourist feel at all, locals eat here regularly.

    They were so accommodating and friendly while we waited here with all our luggage. Look at those Ahi Nachos!

    Good locals bar and food spot. Indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the best service we had on the island. Far priced food all around

    We came here after a hiking trip and it was the perfect restaurant for us. It had something for everyone on the menu. The burgers and sandwiches were all great and flavorful. The service and atmosphere were very nice as well.
