Wrangler's Steakhouse - Waimea

If you're headed to Waimea, stop at Wrangler's Steakhouse for lunch. Order the Kau Kau tin (tempura shrimp and veggies; barbecued chicken or steak; rice and kimchee), served with iced tea in a fruit jar and trips to the soup and salad bar. Sit in the shaded, open air back room, and enjoy delicious food and a step back to earlier days on Kauai.

We almost passed this restaurant by, but I'm sure glad we didn't! We stopped for lunch on a Tuesday with our three children. The kids' meals off the Keiki menu were delicious, both the burgers and the teriyaki beef (which was tender, flavorful slices of beef rather than the usual meat drowning in sauce). My husband enjoyed his quesadilla and my fish and chips were light and delicious. The soup and salad bar was the highlight of our meal though. If lettuce with ranch is your thing, you can have that, but give the pickles daikon, onions, bean sprouts and beets a try, you won't regret it!

Burger very tender and tasty! Medium is more medium rare to my taste but that’s my fault for not asking for medium well. Garlic fries tasty and not overpowering with garlic (I should have asked for extra garlic cuz I’m a garlic nut! Great, friendly service.

On June 18th I had honor of celebrating my birthday at Wranglers Steakhouse with my 2 cousin's. We were greeted by non other then the beautiful owner Colleen Vidinha Faye. I always enjoy returning back there because of the great service, the Aloha that comes naturally from her local emplyees as well as the wonderful service, not to mention the ONO food that's always prepared. Mahalo for making my day so special.... Ala Kaleohano

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The crab cakes were delicious and even better than my Mom's (sorry Mom!). I could have made them my entire meal. I also ordered the peppercorn crusted ribeye with gravy, which was a bit more rare than I prefer, but they quickly changed it with a smile. The service was excellent, with attentive staff even during a busy event. I enjoyed sitting on the large porch with a never-ending mason jar of iced tea. The decor gave off a welcoming feeling, as if saying "Come on in, sit down, you are family!" I highly recommend this restaurant and my husband and I would definitely go back in a heartbeat.
