Keneke's Grill at Punaluu

Good food and lots of it.



The natural setting up against the mountains in Punalu`u is just breathtaking. Really, if you stop by Keneke's be sure to do yourself the favor of wandering out back the view is so very beautiful.



This is good plate lunch food. So you can expect a scoop of rice and a side of either mac (macaroni) or tossed salad with the main menu items. They also have cheeseburgers and fries and DAVE's Ice cream-- which makes for a nice little added bonus.



I am a bit baffled by the ordering window which I guess mimics the tiny little "I'll hunch over and take your order through this mini glassed in box here and you'll stand out there with the noisy traffic to your back" at the original Keneke's which can be found roadside in Waimanalo. Except, the Punalu'u restaurant is a dine in facility and so you walk past half of the sitting area to get to the ordering window which seems just sort of odd. But not as odd as the tables and chairs set up on the roof which on our first visit I thought would be a pretty neat o place to sit and so after looking everywhere for stairs up to what looked like rooftop dining asked and was told no one could go up there and they were actually preparing to put mannequins sitting there as decoration-- odd. Especially considering the beauty of the natural setting.
