First off my bartender was my waitress and let me know right away it was her first bartending job and may need help making a lemon drop. Most of the interesting items on the menu where " COMING SOON". The cup they show you get as a souvenier cup is not what you get unless you want to pay 18.00!!! Â The whole place was empty except for a couple at the pool table but we were the only ones sitting for dinner. The excuse is they are very new and only been there 3 months. I thought the food was mediocre and when my daughter ordered the alfredo sauce on her pasta it was not even available! No milk either so dont ask.
I dont care if they ever get the short ribs in......I will never go back. Save your money and go to Lynch's next door!
Mardi Gras celebration started at 4 - it's 6 and I ask for two frozen margaritas - bartender smiles and say "No Problem!" But she must have forgotten that there is a mirrored wall and gives the craziest face I've seen in a long while. I start drafting this review this is when I see her asking other co-workers for help. She didn't know where to find the blender (that's directly to the right or her) and worst the blender is not even plugged in?
While I wait for her to get started on the drinks, I see another bartender preparing some drink made in an over sized clam shell with a lot of cherries. I couldn't stop starring at her because all the time my bartender was looking for a blender this lady was ringing up the register and handling cash. Now I see her use her hands and a kid's size plastic cub to reach into the drink fountains to retrieve juice for the clam drink. I'm certain her hands hit the juice in the container because I saw her wipe her hands on her shorts. Just nasty.
Staff seemed short staff but remained friendly and calm but the lack of hygienic practices are a disservice.
Wasn't sure what to expect out of this place. The drinks were pretty good and, like a lot of others are saying, they are poured heavy. However, we went in there thinking it was just as much a restaurant as a bar... We were disappointed. Jo ordered "Da Big Kahuna burger" he enjoyed it, but he was really hungry. I ordered the Cheeseburger, hard to mess up. It was the greasiest, most off tasting burger. The fries are frozen and below average. The onion rings are typical bar onion rings. I wouldn't go here to eat again but will definitely return for drinks.
Review Source:While the Hawaiian theme of Da Big Kahuna is cutely executed, I wasn't in there long enough to write an extremely descriptive review so I will say this, the drinks I had was poured heavy, which was appreciated, but I wouldn't stay long enough to try anything to eat because the menu left a lot to be desired. I'll be honest, I wanted to eat when I got there but when I saw that the menu offered Ahi Tuna (which I happen to LOVE) blackened, I was put off. I don't  remember exactly how it was described but as soon as I saw it I knew the food wasn't for me.
Maybe I'll go back someday, if it's around that long.
Good location. Â The food was okay and reasonably priced. I had the Kalua Pork Plate, where the slow cooked pork was burnt. The decor appeared to be thrown together and didn't appear to fit. The service was virtually none existent and weren't very attentive. Despite the negativity, the best part are the drink prices! Â The Jungle Juice was well worth the price. Â This would be a wet-your-whistle stop on your way to get better food or a quick time out from the beach activities.
Review Source:A friend was in desperate search of a frozen drink last night (margarita or daiquiri). After failing at Lynch's Irish Pub and Mango's, we tried this bar. We are definitely glad we stumbled here, seeking refuge from tropical storm Beryl!
Although my friend wanted a frozen drink and I wanted a long island iced tea, we decided to order the jungle juice after seeing the big container in the shape of a clam shell. I'm not sure how many ounces it was, but it definitely rivals the 60oz mojitos I had in Miami. We were not disappointed! For $25, this was an outstanding drink (very big!), and I swear the alcohol-soaked fruit made you drunker than the drink itself!
We then ordered a fish bowl (also $25) containing the blue curacao, and this was not as good. As the manager walked by just to check on us, we admitted the fish bowl didn't taste as good as the jungle juice. Without another word, he asked, "Want me to switch it out for you? We can put something else in it." We replied, "Yes please!" And within 2 minutes, we had a replenished stock of jungle juice (with fruit) in a fish bowl. Now that's customer service!
We also ordered garlic fries ($4), and they were delicious. They came with a mayo-based sauce that was heavenly. They were very greasy, but that's what we needed at the time.
The only improvement that could be made is the price and quality of the main food. A friend ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich that wasn't very good for $8.25, without fries, onion rings, etc. (costs extra). I didn't think the portion size warranted the cost, and I felt the chicken was slightly sour and dry.
But, would I come here again? Absolutely!
