Kahuna Lanai Sports Bar & Grill - MCBH, Hawaii

The owner/ bartender is amazing, with wonderful mixology skills! I loved every drink she made me. This restaurant is now called The Lanai. Food can be hit or miss. The salads are great and so are the burgers. Although one burger I got had onions that were completely charred rather than caramelized. The mac salad was a bit bland. Overall a really nice experience though. There are a ton of games you can play like pool, ladder ball, corn hole, etc. There is an indoor and outdoor area. Lots of space for fun!

The food at Kahuna Sports Bar and Grill was good, and the inside dining area was clean. However, the Lani wasn’t as clean as I would have liked, and the bathroom had some serious issues.

As my photos show, the AC vent was caked with lint, indicating a long-overdue deep cleaning. Lint scattered on the floor further highlighted their lack of attention to cleanliness.

To make matters worse, there was no soap in the bathroom, and the garbage can was overpoweringly full. You might think the restaurant was bustling with people, causing a strain on the staff to keep up with cleaning. But no, I was the lone patron. They had all the time in the world to ensure the place was spotless. Instead, the waiter was on their phone, sitting down.

Kahuna Sports Bar and Grill, please match your cleanliness standards to the quality of your food. Otherwise, I’m left wondering if your kitchen is as unkempt as your restroom.

I had an extremely disappointing experience here recently. After waiting 40 minutes for my meal, it was served with an ingredient I am highly allergic to, despite informing the staff beforehand. When I sent it back, instead of preparing a new meal, they simply removed the allergen and sent the same dish back, which is completely unacceptable. When I pointed this out and requested a new meal, the staff responded unprofessionally and dismissively. Shockingly, this is the second time this has happened. The first instance occurred when the restaurant was nearly empty, leaving no excuse for such a mistake. This level of negligence is alarming, especially for individuals with severe allergies.

I tried this place for the first time and I was amazed that the food and service was really good. I seen the other reviews, but our experience was positive. It is very spacious and clean. The waitress was very friendly. She even was able to get us 25% off our bill before 8:00pm. It was Fat Tuesday. They have deals everyday from what I was reading. The food was delicious. I always order my steak well done and you can cut the steak with a butter knife. Cooked perfect! The deep fried pickles was yummy! My husband liked the fish and chips. Go early to avoid the crowd because it looks like people start coming in after 8 for that discount. They also gave us a Mardi gras mask... Love it. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact they had no rice for my steak. I'm from Hawaii and I need rice with my steak. French fries should be with a burger.. lol. Other than that, you have to try this place and see what kind of deals they have everyday. We will eat here again when we come back to base.

I’ve been to Kahuna Lanai a couple of times since the management change, and unfortunately, both visits left me disappointed. The new menu just isn’t up to the standard it used to be. Not only have prices gone up, but the quality of the food doesn’t justify the cost. The flavors are lacking, and the portions don’t seem as generous as they were before. It’s frustrating because this used to be a great spot, but now it feels like you’re paying more for less. I hope they make some improvements, but for now, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Arguably the best food on MCBH. I visited a few spots on the base and this one was too good to not visit again. LOVED the boneless wings - the burgers are good too. Sit at the bar for great service. Definitely will come back the next time i visit!

The Servers are super nice and hard working but the Manager cant handle stress and complains about them quiet loudly Not a reputable way of dealing with problems
