About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
Chart a course to Huggo’s for the finest in surfside dining. Dine just inches above the waves on an open-air lanai. Experience tender beef or prime rib, or try our exquisite island-fresh seafood. And by the way, when we say fresh we mean fresh! Ahi, mahi mahi, ono and other delectable Hawaiian fish are delivered directly to our back door by local fishermen who caught them just hours earlier.

Enjoy artfully prepared selections also influenced by Pacific Rim and Mediterranean styles.

Thanks to Huggo’s on the water location, and its commitment to “aloha” service, diners at Huggo’s will savor influences from Japanese, Chinese and Southeast Asian ports of call. This family owned restaurant has become an island tradition since offering its first seafood platter 45 years ago.

Huggo’s on the Rocks, our next door neighbor, is the perfect location for oceanside cocktails and light fare.

    If you like a beautiful piece of monchong served on a bed of brown risotto with overcooked broccoli, then you will like Huggo’s. Not only was it not pleasant to look at, it was tasteless and it was the special! So disappointing. Beautiful location, very loud, good service and music, but will not return. I remember when the restaurant was some place special.
