Kuhio Grille

About the Restaurant: Kuhio Grille is a popular, locally-owned restaurant that has been serving delicious Hawaiian and Pacific Rim cuisine in Waimea, HI for over 20 years. It was opened in 1998 by Chef Jim Lightner and his family, who have deep roots in the Waimea community. The restaurant is named after Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, a beloved figure in Hawaiian history known for his philanthropy and dedication to preserving Hawaiian culture.
The Atmosphere: The moment you step into Kuhio Grille, you are welcomed by warm and friendly staff and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The decor is a mix of traditional Hawaiian and modern touches, creating a unique and charming ambiance. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating options, with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends and family.
The Menu: Kuhio Grille offers a diverse menu featuring a blend of Hawaiian and Pacific Rim flavors. Some of their most popular dishes include the Kalua Pork Sandwich, Kalbi Ribs, and Pulehu Steak. The restaurant also offers a variety of fresh seafood options, such as Ahi Poke and Macadamia Nut Crusted Ono. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, making it a great choice for any dietary restrictions.
The Experience: My experience at Kuhio Grille was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying their Katsu Chicken, which was cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with the homemade macaroni salad. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and experience.
Final Thoughts: As a local resident, I have been a frequent visitor to Kuhio Grille for many years, and it never disappoints. Whether you're a local or an out of town visitor, I highly recommend stopping by this gem in Waimea. The combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, and beautiful atmosphere make for a memorable dining experience.
