Keneke's Grill at Punaluu

Let me start with the staff, they were all very nice and wonderful hosts. The ambience is a farm. It's literally a farm with animals, which do not smell great. There is an outside seating area out back that's far enough away, it's a decent area to eat at. The Kailua Pig was very tender but lacked a sauce that complimented it. The serving was HUGE. The burger deal got us in and two of my threes sons said they tasted bad and didn't eat much. One son said it was decent and he was "starving" so he's eat almost anything.

Don't waste your time and money.My husband ordered a cheeseburger with garlic fries and I ordered a Pork Adobo plate lunch with rice and Mac. The pork adobo plate had the occasional piece dry meat mixed in with plenty of huge chunks of fat. Mac was terrible and needed a mountain of salt just to be edible. Paid $16.00 for the three bites I was able to stomach before throwing it away.The cheeseburger was plain had no flavor and lacked any reason to charge $6. What they lacked in salt they made up for in garlic as the fries tasted like taking a bite out of a garlic clove.

Left the Polynesian Cultural Center and saw what I thought was a hole in the wall...those type of places usually have amazing food. Boy was I wrong. I should have listened to previous Yelpers. The drink machine could definitely use a cleaning but that was neither here nor there. Ordered a grilled cheese, hamburger and cheeseburger to go. They charge for deluxe and although I said no onions my burger came with it anyway. One bite. That was all I needed to determine the meat was NOT fresh. It was actually a bit old. It seemed like 90s cafeteria mystery meat. In the wrapping it was actually as flat as the grilled cheese. The fries were hard and semi-burnt. And yet, I took another bite to confirm this ain't it. I didn't have a problem with all the scriptures but I do not recommend you go taste and see what they are making.

You know, I was very disappointed at first. I had kalbi on my mind. When I arrived I didn't even look at the menu, I wanted Kalbi and that's what I was ordering but they don't serve Kalbi at this location :( I ended up with the BBQ chicken and it was very tasty and a generous portion.

Had kenekes cater our wedding early November. The food was delicious! Everyone raved about the guava chicken and the ube mashed potatoes. As someone coming from mainland they were pretty aloha on the response timing but it was so worth it! We had the tasting at their location, but don't let it fool you they were great with coordinating at the wedding and letting us know in advance exactly what they needed. They cook onsite and only require a tent + lights which was way better than any of the other caterers in terms of additional amount of work. They also let us substitute certain items as we wanted a little more seafood in our menu that people wouldn't necessarily get to try on the island.

My wife and I were on vacation and had already been on the island for a few days. We stopped at the "original" Keneke's but they said they didn't have any garlic shrimp. We decided to continue our counter-clockwise drive around the island and stopped at this location. There was plenty of open parking on a fairly rainy Tuesday, and there weren't many other people there. We later found out that the other people there were ordering wedding food as this place does catering as well. We ordered the garlic shrimp plate with fries to split and got a couple of drinks. I have to downgrade this place by a star due to whatever mess they had going on at the drink counter. I'm not sure exactly what it was but it looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a while. Everything else about the place seemed clean though. When the food arrived, I thought they had thrown a bunch of rice over our shrimp and fries. I soon realized it was minced garlic piled high in the plate. I thought it was delicious. My wife said it was the best meal of our 12 day vacation. I strongly recommend the food, but I hope they clean up whatever was going on at the back of the drink counter.

Food pretty good and portions are generous but the inside is dark and dirty and outside area also really dirty. There is a a weeks worth of chicken poop on the table.easy fix to make this a great road side hot spot.

I had been wanting to go to this establishment for a while since I'd passed it in my car, and it looked like a great local place to eat. I was not disappointed!My family and I split the Lunch Special, which includes two cheeseburgers and a drink for a very good price.I was surprised to find out that Keneke's Grill is actually an extension of a farm that operates behind the restaurant premises. My family and I, especially my son, appreciated the goats in the backyard.The food was good and had great prices. The staff were very kind to us, especially my son. The atmosphere is fantastic, embodying an old-school-diner spirit on the inside of the building and functioning as a family farm on the outside. The business also appears to be owned by a Christian family, and they sell organic food. What more can you ask for? My only gripe is that they ran out of the goat-milk soap they sell!

Whoa! Never again.I did like the kind young man working the counter and that brought out our food. I also enjoyed the animals there.As far as the food....not edible and went straight into the trash. One bite of the burger was enough and the garlic fries are mushy with mountains of raw garlic piled on. Absolutely disgusting and hideous.The place is also very dirty inside and out. The animals are adorable but their food is horrible.

Absolutely, hands down the most DISCUSTING place i have ever been in. The soda machine table was black, I don't know if it was grease or just mud. We chose to sit outback because the building was gross. It was all bad! The flies, the animal poo smell, the living condicondition of the billy goats and just the overall place. The poor sickly kittens that they keep shooing away. The building is in serious need of repair. We chose not to eat because of the condition. No one had anything good to say about the food. I don't know how anyone was able to eat with that smell and the grossness growing on the cement. Unfortunately they teamed up with one of the tour busses so we were stuck with that for lunch instead of being able to go to the shrimp farm which was on the tour list
