Popular with locals and tourists. Get in early if possible because it fills up quickly. Great quality, generous servings, good value. I had the grilled fish and it was superb. My favorite in Haleiwa and one of the best on the island. Owner is on hand to ensure that all runs smoothly and envy one is happy.

After doing some research and finding that Rachael Ray from Food Network went here while on vacation, I thought we would give it a try. I had the pulled pork plate and my girlfriend had the teriyaki chicken plate. The food was good and we finished all of it which were good size portions, but definitely nothing to brag about.

On our way back from watching surfers at Pipeline, we stopped for dinner at the Grass Skirt Grill. All I really wanted was a hamburger. I must say....calling it a hamburger does not do it justice. This was the BEST hamburger I have ever eaten. So big and juicy. The meat was delicious. And the burger was huge! The french... More

Back in 2006 my wife & I stopped at the Grass Skirt for lunch, the food was excellent at a reasonable price. So when we returned to the north shore last month with our son's family, we took them to the Grass Skirt. The food is still great & fresh & healthy & the price still reasonable for HI &... More

Pulled pork sandwich was good. Teriyaki chicken plate was good and plentiful. Fries and chicken fingers were average.

We were on Oahu 15 years ago and only dreamed about ever having a better sandwich than the Mahi Mahi sandwich we enjoyed at the little hole-in-wall restaurant on the North Shore. Back on Oahu March 2013 we were thrilled to again find Grass Skirt Grill and have the BEST sandwich again only this time it was Ahi ... just... More

Kids had the hot dogs, we had the plate dinners. Excellent food! Hubby says to get the terriyaki cheese fries. I was thrilled to get a yummy salad with my terriyaki chicken. ;) Owner seems to really love what he does! Tell him you saw this on Tripadvisor!

You can't go wrong when you see the local Law Enforcement eating in there everyday. Our daughter recommended the Ahi so we went there specifically for that. We walked in and saw a sign that said No Ahi. My wife had teriyaki chicken and I had kalua pig. Both were very good but the teriyaki cheese fries were outstanding. If... More

We found Grass Skirt Grill on our last visit to Oahu a few years back and were looking forward to eating there again on this visit. We were not disappointed. The ahi burger was just as delicious. The portion is thick and the taro bun had a sweetness to it that complimented the ahi. The garlic fries could have used... More

I have a timeshare on Oahu and travel here often. When I do, I never miss a meal at Grass Skirt, there is nothing like it. Of course it looks like a hole in the wall, but it's in the middle of a very quaint little town so sit out on the patio, relax and soak up the local color... More
