After the long drive to the North Shore, we like to while away the afternoon on the covered open-air lanai at Hale'iwa Joe's, scoring a couple of cute souvenir glasses, watching the boats and surfers in the harbor, and munching crunchy coconut shrimp, a mahi burger, or whatever's the freshest fish special. It's just past the Anahulu Stream Bridge. A Kane'ohe location overlooks lush Haiku Gardens.

KANEOHE (Windward Side)
Posted by blunoz from Aiea, HI on 11/24/07
Fodor's doesn't have a listing for the Kaneohe side Haleiwa Joe's, so I'll post my comments here. The Kanoehe location serves dinner and an awesome Sunday Brunch. The Sunday Brunch buffet is like $22 per person (cheaper than some of the places in Waikiki) and the food is fantastic. It's located in a beautiful open-air terrace overlooking the Haiku Botanical Gardens. Whenever we have friends or family come to visit, we take them there. They do NOT take reservations, it's first come-first served.

Something for everyone

If you haven't been to Haleiwa Joe's in a while, it's definitely worth a re-visit. The menu has something for everyone. The ribs are yummy! Thai Beef and salmon salads are flavorful and fresh. Friendly service, but the popularity of the place can make for quite a wait as they do not take reservations. A good place to check out the pro surfers in the winter.

Your Best Choice on the North Shore

This place is very popular and it is understandable. Food is great. Lots of variety. Drinks are reasonably priced. Be prepared to wait for a table--if you don't want to wait, you can order food at the bar though--you can make a meal on the pupus.
