No trip to Kauai is complete without a trip to Puka Dog. These are big polish sausages stuffed into a fresh roll with a hole cut through the center. I had the spicy which was not very spicy, they use a lemon garlic butter on the sausage. I had it with the coconut relish and liloki mustard. It is the... more

my husband and i ate here 3 times in 5 days! i never would have paired something sweet with a sausage, but it was amazing. i got mild/pineapple relish/lilikoi mustard every time. my husband had mild/mango/dijon mustard. if you don't like mayo, i recommend getting something other than the mild secret sauce. the handsqueezed lemonade was great, too! i actually... more

Everyone said to get a Puka Dog. Everyone said it was good. Everyone must have had something else. Note: The Fresh Squeezed Lemonade is a Must-Have!! It was the only thing keeping this place from a "Terrible" rating.. I ordered the Polish Sausage Dog (they were out of Veggie dogs!!!). I got the Mild/Original Secret Sauce I got Coconut Relish... more

My husband and I had lunch here on our last day in Kauai. We really liked it because it was very different and not something we can get at home. We both got something different so we could try more flavor combinations but the spicy chili sauce with the mango relish was the best. The lemonade was some of the... more

We absolutely adore Puka Dog, however on this last visit (Sept 09), there was far less sauce, relish & mustard compared to years past. Having all the goop just ooze out with every bite was what made Puka Dog so good. I know lots of folks think there is too much of it, so maybe they have cut back due... more

Puka Dog is something you should try. The bread is amazingly soft. I thought the relish I used was too sweet and would opt for a little more heat if I were to return. Good lemonade. more
