Insider Dining & Tips

Important Access Note: This location is situated within the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). Please be aware that this restaurant requires base access to enter the facility. If you are authorized to enter the base, this is the most convenient spot to grab food before heading north toward Polihale. For those without base access, it is recommended to plan your meal stops in nearby Kekaha or Waimea town. If you are heading to Waimea Canyon, order ahead via the app to minimize wait times, as this spot is popular with local personnel and can see a rush during lunch hours.
