The menu includes burgers, pastas, fresh island fish, steaks, and chicken. Teriyaki-dipped salmon is a perennial favorite, as are the lobster ravioli and spice-cured pork chop. If you have to wait, enjoy a cool drink at the bar, and preface your meal with something tasty from their array of appetizers. Hours: Mon-Sat 4pm-10pm Pricing: Average Main Course Price: $16.00 Payment Methods: Visa, Master Card, Discover My friend and I both had lunch there and had a tempura platter with ahi tuna relish and cabbage with Thai jasmine rice. It was all absolutely delicioius. Drinks were expensive and average. Certainly worth the visit, it is clean and the decoroations are very tropical. ========================================= Wrangler's Steakhouse (Frommer's Recommended) Cuisine STEAKHOUSE Hours Mon-Thurs 11am-8:30pm; Fri 11am-9pm; Sat 5-9pm Address 9852 Kaumualii Hwy Location Western Kauai Phone 808/338-1218 Prices Lunch $8-$12; dinner main courses $17-$30 Credit Cards AE, DISC, MC, V Frommer's Review Good service and pleasant veranda seating are among the pluses of this family-run operation. Western touches abound: a wagon in the loft, log-framed booths with gas lanterns, and lauhala paniolo hats in the made-in-Hawaii gift shop. A combination of cowboy, plantation, and island traditions, Wrangler's serves lots of steak -- big, hand-selected cuts -- and adds some island touches, from vegetable tempura to grilled steak to ahi with penne pasta. Families like Wrangler's because its multicourse dinners won't break the bank. My friend and I both had one of the specialities which is a Tempura Tin Lunchbox and it was fabulous. ========================================== I don't suggest the Kauai Hulagirl Bar & Grill in the Coconut Market Place. Poor service and food is expensive and not that great. We were on a tight budget so we shopped Safeway and cooked in our room. Unfortunately we couldn't get to a luau d/t ticktes were sold out to the one that was recommended. Gonna have to do that next time I go to the islands. :)
