Big Country Bar & Grill

The best local bar, great music delicious food, and really friendly people.  Took the family here (no one under 18 allowed after 8 pm), and my children loved the Chicken wings, fried rice, and the cold tofu.  We learned that the cook also works at Blossom Okazuya in Kailua.  There is live music on the weekends, but the bar is packed.  Get there early.  
Everyone there is really cool and friendly.  Please note that you are in the heart of Waimanalo, be sure to be respectful and in turn, the be there are wonderful!

highly recommend and will visit again...

logged in so i can rate this friendly place.  after tom tom hike, busted in @ opening, 2pm, owners? welcomed us in to a clean and well stocked place.  they were eating from the menu; you know that's a good sign ;)) ; heck, they even offered to have us sample their own lunch!!

... ordered a foo foo drink & instead of rejecting her because they didn't know how to make it, they tried to make it honestly and did an excellent job!  everyone knows that many places would simply say they do not make that drink and to order something else...

each dish was very good: beef tomato, pork & ang(sp?) choy, lol, even chx wings (no sauce), but ranch on the side...

sometimes places can feel intimidating, but this family made us (townies) feel welcome; even the patrons were friendly, letting us know about more hikes in the area...the best things food-wise, were the sauces they used for the dishes....kinda garlicky...etc

We were spending a night away from home and camping up at Bellows.  We don't go out and enjoy the nightlife often because we aren't much into the club scene and the big bars of Waikiki.  We decided to go to Big Country Bar & Grill for a couple hours.  We were there too early for the live music unfortunately.

The ambiance here was a little more what I am accustomed to back home, very local, small and friendly.  Everybody that was working there was great and the other patrons were nice as well.  We tried the tempura potatoes and really enjoyed them!  I wasn't able to find them on FB to see their deals and live performances, which was a bummer.

We will be back for sure when we are up in the Wiamanalo area.
