Reviews for Paniolo Santa Maria Style BBQ in Kapa?a, HI
Paniolo is one of the best spots on Kauai. The food is great, they have live music most nights and it's BYOB which you can pick... up next door at the ABC store. A great spot for BBQ, a few drinks and cutting a rug if you feel so inclined. Read more
Great atmosphere. Live music a bonus. Delicious food. Friendly service.
We always forget about this option because it blends in with buildings. But there is always street parking, and the food is... delicious. I usually get the prime rib sandwich with fries! It's so good and the price is extremely reasonable! It's the perfectamount of food as well! Well worth the price and visit! Extremely friendly and accommodating! It's one of the only BBQ placesover here! Read more
Nice vibe, good music, good barbecue. We liked it. Chicken is OK, but the tri tip is better. Pork ribs were great. (Ask for... extra sauce). Didn't quite get the lettuce/salad as a side. Would have preferred some slaw or Mac and cheese. Did I say the porkribs were great ???? Read more
The food is decent. A bit pricey for the quality. I had the tri tip cheesesteak at the recommendation of the waitress. The steak... was just okay (could've been seasoned better) but the veggies and cheese were good in it. The BLT was okay, but lacked mayo,which seems like a travesty if you're from the south where these are a normal part of restaurant menus. The salad wastasty. They have a single waitress for the entire place and that means you may not see her again after you order. I guessthat's why they have you pay/tip after you order instead of after your meal and service. She was probably doing the best shecould but the lack of service was disappointing since we could never get her attention. They should try to find someone else orseat fewer people so you can actually ask for those simple things after your food arrives. We apparently arrived on open micnight, so just a heads up that the entertainment will either be pretty decent or entertaining for all the wrong reasons whilepeople live out their dream of being a musician now that they're retired.

Let?s first start with the atmosphere. Restaurant is a family run place with stage for live music! The band while we were there... was awesome! The food is delicious and the staff is warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island.It was our first restaurant to try when we got here and we were not disappointed. This is a must visit place in Kapaa. Read more
Really fun laid back place to drink and dance and have fun in a non-touristy environment. And it's BYOB with an ABC liquor store... next door! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food was meh. Surf and turf consisted of some TRI tip that was prettygood but the ono was lukewarm and dried out to a consistency of a wooden shingle. Place is pretty busy so after a few minutes Iwas able to flag someone down who went and got us a hot thick filet of Ono that was much better. Rice was an inedible clump ofdried out something. Next time I think I'd stick to the sandwiches or burgers, bring a six pack or a bottle of wine and enjoythe band and the fun Read more
Such great food. The chicken is moist and seasoned perfectly. The tri tip is wonderful. I dislike beans in general but if you... are a fan I did try them and they are done very nicely. The sweet potato fries are perfect. Prices are great for the quality andamount of food. Service was excellent. I will be back with friends and family for sure Read more
