The only thing I have liked from here is the salad. That's NOT what I go to a pizza place for though. My husband was totally disgusted and says we will not be ordering from here again...he was a Brick Oven loyalist from day one so this was a BIG surprise. My SIL said she had given up in favor of the local Pizza Hut some time ago.
Sorry Brick Oven, you're NOT the local favorite these days. After trying 3 different pizzas from you on three separate occasions, I won't be going back a fourth time. My tastebuds have surrendered.

Don't tell my in-laws or my husband but this pizza (they believe it to be THE BEST) was only okay to me. Granted I'm accustomed to San Francisco style pizza which is a little more artisanal. I prefer my pizza crust thin and flat with things like prosciutto, gruyere, arugula and an egg in the center. I know, I know. I'm a high maintenance pizza bitch. Maybe I need to experiment with other things on the menu as well. I'll continue going here and let you know.
What I will give this place is it's props. Located almost across the street from Brick Oven Pizza, this place kicks it's ass! AND it's less than half the price!
Look, I know it's Pizza Hut. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants but I am a fan of a decent meal at a decent price. Compared to Brick Oven, this is far superior. They have delivery, which is a real bonus anywhere in Hawaii and the food is exactly what you might expect...maybe even better. Their pastas are tasty, the breadsticks suck and their salads are fresh but ask for an extra salad dressing since they are too big for just one.
Sorry Brick Oven, you are slipping quickly from local favorite to local joke since many in the neighborhood would rather order from this place than you. My family and self included.
Avoid their produce section if you can (honestly it's so small as to be nearly nonexistant) since it's on the more depressing side and has a VERY small variety of organics. If you're a tourist, shopping for groceries, I would advise going to Costco in Lihue if you can deal with the bulk or hitting up the other stores in Lihue since the price difference will be way closer to the actual value of the item.

Cheap, delicious, by the pound, homemade on the spot tortillas and carnitas were also amazing.
Given that there's no real Mexican food on Kauai (where I now live) much less a mexiatessen I'd gladly go here again in a heartbeat.

Until I tasted the yogurt.
Lucky for my coworker and I, we were there on a grand opening day so everything was half off. I tried the mango tart, original tart, and pumpkin flavors. Basically the only thing I liked was the mango tart. I'm not a toppings person but there were plenty to choose from.
It's a clean location, the staff is friendly and they take cash and credit. Yogurt is self serve and $0.39 an ounce.
I'd give this place 2 1/2 stars if that were an option but alas! It's an okay place for the neighborhood (which thrives on mediocrity) but it's not a standout place to get an amazing fro-yo fix.
I understand some people's issues with there not being sections segregating big from small dogs (and I have a chihuahua) but I still think this is the best dog park I've ever been to.
There's really something for everyone...err...everydog here. If your dog is a water dog there's plenty of water to swim and fetch sticks and balls in. If your dog prefers chasing balls on the lawn there's wide expanses of green space to do so as well. It's a huge fenced in park with several spots with bathrooms (for people) and some park benches or picnic tables if you want to sit and enjoy the sight of doggie nirvana. My little guy had an absolute blast here and I was so happy to see him interacting off leash with so many well adjusted and well behaved dogs. There's also a small coffee shop where you can get beverages, sandwiches, snacks and the like conveniently located in the main parking area. There's also a dog washing/grooming station for those of you who need to hose down after your hound rolls around.
Sancho hearts it!

Luna Park

However, I am pregnant. And YES this means no bottomless mimosas (or alcohol or cigarettes or drugs or...you get the point) for me. But I am not a completely heartless bitch (just partially heartless) and so when my buddies are enjoying bottomless mimosas here I can still enjoy brunch and their company without feeling spiteful...err...sort of.
Brunch here is actually REALLY good. I'm surprised, because the other places that offer bottomless mimosas (Lime, Barracuda) are not the greatest in terms of food offerings. I had the goat cheese fondue and the mussels. I was impressed by the amount of food I got since these were both appetizer fare and it was pretty tasty. In fact, I enjoyed just about everything about Luna Park except for the fact that my orange juice was $3.50.
This may seem like a small thing to quibble about but when I'm already spending $21 on appetizers it seems unfair to charge me $2.50 LESS than what my buddies are paying for bottomless mimosas. Can't I have bottomless orange juice? Since when was orange juice more expensive than champagne (or it's cheap sparkling wine equivalent)?
Other than that small blip, I would definitely go back. But I will stick with the free water next time and forgo the orange juice.
Sizzler is one of those places. Unfortunately, the flashback is to the unpleasant weeks we (mother and younger brother) would spend with maternal grandmere (who hated me) in the armpit of Hell, otherwise known as Yucca Valley. Sizzler is big over there. Like epic standards and people line up for days like it's a really awesome club or movie premiere.
My grandmere seemed to think that those heavier set individuals were also deaf in addition to being fat. She would comment about how fat they were loudly and frequently much to our utter horror.
So yeah, Sizzler reminds me of that and, until last night, I had not set foot in one since I was 17.
Hubby and I went to this Sizzler mostly because we figured it would be cheap for hella food and, since I'm 7 months pregnant this equals good deal. There was hella food but at $44 it wasn't exactly cheap. The salad bar is pretty worked over and I wasn't exactly loving my ribs. Hubbys' bottomless shrimp were tasty and he ate about 40 of those to "make it worth it" lol.
I wouldn't go back. It just wasn't that great and it wasn't cheap enough to justify that part.
However, the bonus of not having to go with grandmere was still worth at least one extra star.
Date

My Kaiser insurance indicated that this would be the closest location for my doctor visits so I obliged by making an appointment. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the doctor I met with was also great. I can't remember his name but he recently relocated from Michigan this past August. He was completely honest and forthright when I discussed my desire for an epidural (and all manners of anesthesia available) and the fact that KVMH (where he was contracted) didn't offer them. I appreciated him giving me a great visit despite knowing I would most likely never see him again unless he possessed an animal tranquilizer gun during my labor.
