Lanai City Grill
About
A Taste of Pineapple Island Heritage
Located in the heart of Lanai City, this local staple captures the spirit of plantation-era dining. The space feels open and breezy, echoing the relaxed pace of life on Hawaii's smallest accessible island. You will find that the interior leans into a casual, historic charm, making it a natural gathering spot for both residents and visitors finishing a day of exploring the rugged coastline.
Elevated Comfort on the Plate
The menu highlights local ingredients through a lens of island comfort food. The seared ahi is a standout, often praised for its freshness, while the house-made dressings and locally sourced greens reflect a commitment to the island’s agricultural roots. It is the kind of kitchen that understands balance—hearty enough for someone coming off a hike, yet polished enough for a quiet evening meal. Do not be surprised if the local catch of the day fluctuates based on what the fishing boats brought into the harbor that morning.
The Island Pace
Expect a soundscape filled with the hum of ceiling fans and the low-volume chatter of locals catching up on island news. It is an unpretentious environment where you can actually hear your table conversation. While parking around the main square can be a bit of a shuffle during the lunch rush, the walk to the front door is short and gives you a chance to appreciate the historic architecture of the town center. Whether you are looking for a casual dinner or a midday recharge, this spot serves as a genuine anchor for anyone spending time in the center of Lanai.

Came here for a quick snack before dinner during happy hour and was blown away! The setting is a laid-back grill/bar atmosphere. The staff are some of the friendliest people we’ve met on the island. We got the calamari, fried cauliflower, and oysters. All on the happy hour menu. The server told us the calamari is their most ordered item and I can see why! Everything was delicious! Fried cauliflower was crisp and flavorful. Oysters were fresh and a great happy hour find. If you're looking for a casual spot with high-quality bites, this is it! Don't skip the calamari!

Two nights ago I went to Lana’i City Bar and Grill and enjoyed it so much we went back the following night. The food is delicious and the service is also great. My favorite things I had were the hearts of palm salad and the smash burger with spuds. Also the service is super quick as both times are were in and out in less than 60 minutes which is in time for the hotel shuttle!

Cute place but it was so loud I couldn’t hear my husband. The oysters were super fresh and delicious! The burger was bland. The fish of the day was fresh, wasn’t a fan of the butter sauce, it didn’t taste like brown butter. The chicken was tender. Sad they no longer have chicken wings or burrata.

5 stars every time. My husband and I have eaten at Lanai City bar and grill 5 times now and it just gets better every time. The Parker rolls are a must to start. The oysters and beet salad were also delicious. Highly recommend the smash burger. Justin and Ryan were both great. Such a warm place. The live music is a huge plus!

The *BEST* Breakfast on Lāna'i! The Pig Candy is best eaten with your fingers. Mochi Pancake is so delicious, no coconut syrup needed! French Toast is perfect. Loco Moco was decadent. Breakfast Burrito and array of salsas/sauces is very satisfying. Not pictured is the Breakfast Sandwich with venison sausage patty, which was inhaled before I could snap a pic! Don't skip out on the fresh juice blends -- the orange is bliss. Mahalo to Christian and the crew at LCBG for bringing bomb breakfast to the island! (Served Tuesday - Saturday @ 7-11am)

We went to "Taco Tuesday" and it was amazing! The happy hour drinks specials were great and the pupus menu was amazing! They also had live music that was perfect. When we go back to Lana'i we will definitely go here for dinner again!

Wow, great food, atmosphere, and service. All our dishes were cooked and presented perfectly. Awesome happy hour specials also from 4-530pm. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, this has to be the #1 dinner spot in the city.

Came in on the 6:30am Ferry from Maui and this was our first stop for breakfast. It was sooo flipping good and filling. Great staff and great food! I got the Classic Breafast with the deer sausage which was amazing and the Guava jam was good as well. Our table split the ube pancakes and OMG I recommend to order those for any pancake lover!!! Please come here and try their food!!! I wish I could give them 10 stars.

Everything was good but something felt off. Being from Oahu, I expected a better custom service experience. The best I can describe it, It felt a bit cold. On the positive side, the food both for dinner and breakfast was great and the pricing is reasonable. And there's live music on most evenings.

The best food I had on this trip to Hawaii. Make reservations it books out. They were fully booked but helped us out with a table early anyways, very appreciated! Catch of the day was Opah, incredible lemon citrus butter, capers, pickled onions it was incredible. For dessert the Ube Custard parfait is a must. Incredible service, amazing food and they had live music. It's small, so book ahead, it's very worth it!
