   Arrived at our reservation time (715pm); table was not ready. Waited until 730pm before being seated at a table In the back, near where the servers pickup. Our server was a nice young lady, who did her job perfectly fine. Ordered a Diet Coke and a coco-skinny margarita. The soda isn’t coke (no idea what it was), and had we known that, we would have ordered tonic. The margarita wasn’t to my taste - it was like drinking sunscreen. Some folks may enjoy that variety of coconut flavor… I’m just not one of them For dinner we ordered the fried Brussels and the sashimi. The sashimi was fine… decent quality fish, served at an appropriate temperature. The Brussels were burned. For mains, we got the Kauai pad Thai with shrimp and the fish fry special. The pad thai was super watery and not very flavorful (although the shrimp on top were lovely). The fried fish breading had no seasoning / flavor to it (but the fish itself was cooked nicely). It came with tartar sauce (good) and ketchup. We asked for cocktail sauce, which our server brought but which tasted like ketchup as well. After the first beverage fail, we got a tonic water and a club soda. The server brought us a tonic and a regular cola instead. She did correct it, but that gives you a sense of the experience. We did not stay for dessert. Not including the one alcoholic drink, our total came to $118 before tip - 2 apps, 2 mains, and 3 sodas. Honestly, I’ve had comparable quality meals at a fast casual chain like Applebees. Would not return for dinner… maybe lunch or apps to watch the sunset. The beach nearby was beautiful.

   The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Shelby was our waitress today. She was very attentive and friendly. The Tempura Crab Roll is our favorite. We combined it today with the Seared Ahi appetizer and the Caesar Salad. Great combination. We will be back soon.

   Luckily we had a reservation and were seated right away - otherwise the wait was over an hour. Our server was friendly, efficient and did not rush us. The ambiance was casual, friendly and fun. Food was very good and reasonable (given this us Hawaii!). Best if all we were able to walk from our resort. I would eat there again!

   Was super excited but soon after I realize it was a basic restaurant and nothing special. I had requested a table by the window and the waiter inform me the only table available was two tables for 5 people us being two it wouldn’t work. That’s fine I was seated down and less then 10 minutes the other two tables got seated and both only had two person. Ruin the whole experience for me.

    Brennecke’s has been a favorite since our first trip to Kauai in 1987. Fun, casual vibe, good food & drinks, friendly service, great views - across the street from Poipu Beach Park.

    Mai tai recipe is not as good as it used to be. Something about the juice is bubblegum sweet. Coconut pineapple margarita was better. Ahi sandwich recipe also not as good as it used to be. Too much seasoning now overpowers the flavor of the fish. Great ambiance as always and friendly service.

    We got a last minute reservation for Brenneckes and were not impressed. My husband got the surf and turf which was lukewarm and was substantially overpriced. Wouldn’t go back.

    Initially we were 30 minutes early to our reservation. Figured they would seat us early. They were very busy under staffed. 5 items on the Menu were 86 (not available) Checked in, waited for 10 min. Waitress came to us and asked us while we're waiting would we like to order drinks. Pinia Colada and a Dark Beer $21.00 over priced IMO. Finaly sat down. Waited 5 min and bud boy served us 2 glasses of water. Waited another 15 min Server finally came and we decided to leave cause of the vibe. Was pretty disappointed on our last day on the Island.

    Special occasion taking friends to Brennecke's for the first time. Reservation (made 2 months in advance) was delayed. At least 5 menu items (some their most popular) were not available, order was missed by the kitchen delaying our meal by 1 hour (after already waiting 45 minutes), food came out sporadically which made some people wait for everyone to be served (their food got cold), food and drinks were expensive and of poor quality (no one liked their meal), no apologies from a manager or anyone, our waiter (nice young man) was embarrassed and his way of dealing with it was to ignore us the rest of the night. The whole night was a disaster which was really disappointing.

    We ordered the nachos and they came out cold and stale. We ordered them with Kalua pork and there really wasn’t much pork. It is as if they had set for 15 minutes before they were delivered. The coconut ship we delivered were fine. Overall, we’ve been to Brennecke‘s several times and this time did not live up to your standards of the last several times. Our waiter was Brian and he did the best he could, but keep making excuses about how untimely everything was.

    Best food and service we had ,just a hair in front of Paco’s Taco’s Cantina and Bangkok Happy Bowl .We went to Duke’s, Kalapaki Joe’s , The Cabana, a food truck in Kapa’a and Oki’s box lunches. Our waiter made the adjustments to what we wanted and that was super cool. My one slight negative was that they weren’t the best Mai Tai’s we had. Overall from my experience with the restaurants here, I would have only eaten here. Some places you have to order first, then you get seated. I’m not really okay with that, but it is what it is.it really seems like no one wants to work. There’s job opportunities everywhere!!!!

    This place was recommended by everyone we spoke to who has visited the island. Was nearly impossible to get a reservation - do not assume you can wait to make them until you arrive (or be prepared for a very long wait). Came here for the Mac crusted fish only to learn they were sold out by 7:30pm - such a disappointment. However, the ahi poke wonton tacos and the coconut shrimp were amazing. We also tried the wasabi/Cajun seared ahi - too spicy for some at the table I thought it was amazing! The fish and chips (with striped marlin) was a hit too. The seafood risotto comes highly recommended and it was good but a little underwhelming if I’m being honest - two pieces of shrimp, two scallops, and some very small pieces of fish thrown in. Felt a little heavy and not as flavorful as I expected. Portions were just the right size - not too small, and not excessively big. Oh, and the garden beet salad was nice and refreshing. Drinks were great as was the atmosphere.
