Tropics Bar & Grill

I honestly don't get why Tropics Bar & Grill isn't rated higher--this place is a gem! We grabbed seats at the bar, and while the service was quick, it wasn't the warmest experience. But let me tell you--the food more than made up for it.The Coconut Shrimp was next-level crispy, perfectly cooked, and that sweet chili sauce? Absolute fire. We almost ordered another round just because it was that good.Then came the Pulled Pork Sando, and wow--juicy, packed with flavor, and legit one of the best we've had. Every bite was pure island comfort food at its finest.Maybe the service at the bar could use a little more aloha, but honestly, when the food is this good, I'd come back in a heartbeat. If you're looking for killer flavors and a laid-back island vibe, Tropics delivers.

Great option while staying at the Hilton. As a Hilton Honors Diamond (Gold as well) member you get $15-18 meal credit a day and it can be used here. Prices are pretty high but that's expected. The burger was really done well for a place like this. I enjoyed sitting outside and watching the sunset. Good first dinner after a long travel day.

While the service was friendly and prompt and the beer was cold (thus the 2 stars), the food was close to terrible and very disappointing. They have moved from the pre-Covid best Kailua pork nachos anywhere to a sad dish of cheese sauce soaked soggy cold corn tortillas. The Kailua pork could have easily been chicken for the lack ofFlavor made it questionable to eat. So bad. And the price is outrageous for the bowlOf bland cheese sauce corn mush. Please return to the old recipe!

The smell of food from the pool area made us hungry that we decided to have breakfast here.With an umbrellas covered table and outdoor dine- in settings had a perfect view of the beach.Service was fast and our server TJ brought our plates in time to satisfy our hunger!This is Second place of Loco Moco order and so far this was the best! Love the gravy !The Hawaiian Style Benedict had a tasty Kalua pork!Ube pancakes were drizzled with ube syrup and sprinkled crushed macadamia nuts and powdered sugar.... Yummmy!!!Had a very delicious breakfast with a non alcoholic beverage :Juice with Pineapple, mango and coconut cream...

The ahi tuna nachos were really good. Though I was a bit surprised that the "nachos" were more like a rice patty than chips. BUT they were still tasty.The garlic popcorn shrimp were very meaty for a popcorn shrimp. They were extremely delicious.The biggest drawback was they were out of several beers on tap. When you are paying these prices, you shouldn't have to compromise on your beer.

Food is so-so drinks are weak and the prices are high! We were standing at the bar to order drinks and we were ignored for 15 mins finally someone helped us ordered 5 drinks and 1 soda 125.00 and the guy took forever ringing up the bill and the drinks weren't even made yet wasn't worth the wait

Food was tasty, we ordered the Coconut Shrimp appetizer, which came with a zesty sweet/sour sauce. Tropics Teriyaki Burger, and the Fish Sandwich (Blue Marlin) was a big hit. People watching on the beach was fun but the birds can be a problem at the dining tables if any food is left unattended. Pricey but the food was good.

Great views of Waikiki Beach! They do not take reservations, but we were seated quickly (on a Monday at 5:30PM) in their outdoor patio which was awkwardly enclosed with a huge net. I'm sure it's there to keep birds from attacking your food, but it also felt like we were captured in said net. Service was prompt and friendly. THE FOOD. - Poke Nachos | A different take on nachos, this dish was stacked high with rainbow shrimp chips and had fresh limu ahi poke, green onion, and furikake scattered about. Spicy mayo and yuzu avocado crema are drizzled on top. It's a mouth-watering dish, but at a $31 price point, I'm not sure I'd order this again. - Signature Paniolo Burger | Okay, so I didn't like how sweet this burger actually was. The different meats (beef patty, bacon, and brisket) were a little much. I thought the brisket could be more juicy, but instead, had a dryness to it. And at a $33 price point, I had high expectations. I would not recommend. THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Honolulu Beerworks Cocoweizen | Refreshingly light with a hint of coco. - Tropical Seabreeze | Slushy, pineapple coconut flavors with Bacardi Superior Rum splashed in. I liked it. COMING BACK?I'd come back to drink at the bar and enjoy the beach scene. As for food, I would go somewhere else less expensive.

I stayed at the Ilikai for a week and noticed tropics from our hotel balcony our very first morning there. Stopped in for a quick drink on day 1 (Sunday) and immediately got the vibe it was a local spot. Cheap beer and billiards! I happened to notice they had weekday specials but didn't necessarily plan on coming back. After 10 hours of hiking the volcanoes on Tuesday and flying to and from the Big Island, we were NOT walking another step that evening and I immediately knew we were heading to taco Tuesday at Tropics. $5 margaritas, $3 tacos, $5 corn elite (we may have gotten 3 orders), and the most beautiful live singer. very good sound system for a small dive bar. My boyfriend was entranced by the live music which on the mainland is always ridiculously loud - this quiet acoustic music was so perfect after a long day.

Tropics Bar & Grill, located beachfront at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is a beautiful oceanfront restaurant with amazing views! The service is excellent, but the meal was a bit disappointing. We got the Tropics Burger $28, which was mediocre and the side of fries were cold.
