While back on Kauai, I went to the Feral Pig after going to Nawiliwili on a Monday afternoon wanting to try something besides the usual local fare. Despite being located at the Anchor Cove shopping center near Kalapaki Bay, the restaurant unfortunately doesn't have the best views as the windows face the road. I thought with a name like "The Feral Pig," there would be little touches in the dÃ©cor to go with the name, but disappointingly there weren't many (other than a little statue-like thingy near the front). Instead, it looked pretty much like the previous restaurants that occupied the space (one of which was a Japanese restaurant) with the addition of another big screen TV. Upon arriving, a bartender greeted my mom and me and had us sit where we wanted. It took a while before our waitress took our order (it took about 5 minutes before we were served water); but other than that, the service was smooth. We asked if we could order appetizers from the dinner menu and fortunately were able to. So we started with a pupu platter (normally with crab wontons, breaded calamari, and some wings) but the waitress recommended that we replace the wings with something else so we replaced it with more calamari and I felt it was a good decision. On top of that, I ordered "the Feral Burger" which is a pork and beef burger, topped with cheddar cheese, sautÃ©ed onions, a special burger sauce and two slices of their special thick cut bacon and a strawberry smoothie which wasn't worth the $4. However, the burger was quite good: the patty was tender and delicious and the toppings complemented it very well, although their special bacon didn't taste all too great or special and the fries were quite lacking. All in all, a pretty good meal, although nothing too special (especially for the prices paid). It's worth going if you're in the area.

Our server was awesome, the Bloody Mary and beermosa were amazing, and the Feral Moco ridiculous. What a way to start the day!

great feral burger (order it...its not on the menu). They really know their cocktails and beer here too. The food is good, and they try to do local sources as much as possible( even tried kauai beer !) Also had breakfast here which was yummy. very casual place with good food and drinks and staff that care... Parking is validated so don't worry about the pay lot.

The Feral Pig burger is the best burger I have ever had hands down. Half pork should half kauai beef with pork belly strip and grilled onions. It is very large and you will crave another because it is so good.

I seriously cannot be happier with a burger than at this place. I bring all my friends here for the feral burger. I even bought two t shirts for guests that stayed at our rental home because they told me about this awesome place. I even met the owner and the next time we came by he hooked us up with a vegan friendly meal. Such a great bar and grill. Oh yeah Guinness on tap.

BIG BURGERS! The namesake burger is huge, tasty and filling. The fries are string potato fries and are good. Several tap beers, including a local IPA that is excellent. Decor is OK. Looked like a bunch of Annie Leibovitz photos on the walls.

Portions are relatively small. $3 for small fries or salad seems excessive. Service leaves a bit to be desired, even though the staff is friendly

ZERO SERVICE FOR OVER 15 HUNGRY MINUTES. My wife and I had been looking forward to going here for a few days and excited to try something different. The reviews were decent and we were saving ourselves for the banana bread french toast. Upon arrival we were told to sit wherever we liked and chose a window spot. For the following quarter hour leading to our departure, we were seemingly ignored and never greeted nor checked upon. We must've done something wrong??? We were excited to have a new go-to island arrival spot, but it unfortunately won't have anything to do with special burgers or beer-mosas. Hopefully this will help future patrons and the service provider alike. On a good note, we ended up with great service and a breakfast we'd been wanting (and a great view) right across the street at Bamboo Grill and Sushi. Although we seem to be in the minority after checking over previous reviews, we will never consider going here again or recommending it to friends and family.

Chill atmosphere, local beer on tap, and you MUST try the Feral Burger. It's not on menu, just ask for it. Great fries too! 5 stars for me

Got a table right away but no server. Finally 20 minutes after sitting down, we flagged someone down and got menus. We watched lots of other groups come and go because they were ignored too. Regulars seemed to be ok but not first timers like us. The place was filthy and our table was crawling with ants. An hour later, the server comes back to "verify" our order. Total bs because how long does it take to make a Cobb salad and a Philly cheesesteak? Hmmm. Not planning to come here anymore.

Service was atrocious. I think specifically our server because I overheard another and she was much better. Food was decent. I had Kahlua pork omelette. It was good but really just a bed of pork with a scrambled egg on top. Not very omelette-like. My friend had the pork hash and said that it was good. Overall I liked the menu just had such a terrible service experience.

Everything was very good. The feral burger which is not on the menu is great!! A total local hang out which is a good review on it's own.

My wife and I have eaten here twice this week (3rd week of Oct 2013) for breakfast. I highly recommend it. The food is flavorful and fresh. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. My only suggestion to the restaurant is to make the presentation of the food a little better: Include a slice of fruit for garnish, the plate is a little plain looking. Our waitress was helpful and gave suggestions of where to go hiking.

Wow, too bad the zoning is so strange in this complex. Right smack dab on the road, and they can't use the patio on the courtyard? Whatever. We got the feral hamburger. The concept is good, but the salt content is over the top. (I don't think I have EVER said that... Seriously, ask my sister.) I was going to give this a three, but I gotta take it to a 2. If the food had been less salty, or the patio better, I could do three, but I am calling it a 2.

Locally-sourced food (well, mostly, anyway)? CHECK! Awesome, classically-trained bartender who knows a) every recipe you could think of b) the history behind each, and c) stocks Ricard pastis? CHECK! Laid-back vibe? CHECK I've had a lot of the food here. The fish tacos are yummy, but my favorite are the sliders. They're not on the menu, so hopefully they exist when you visit. They're half Kaua'i-grown beef, and half pork with caramelized onions & aÃ¯oli on taro buns. Juicy & just perfect to split between two people. The fish & chips are also good. And they make their fries from scratch. Like, they cut them from real potatoes scratch. I'll be honest. It took them a while to master it, but they've got it DOWN.

yay, I am a fan. We ate here twice during our stay on Kauai and were pleased both times. We also recommend the Feral Burger. It now seems to be their permanent special. We also got their salads which were obviously purchased locally and were equally delicious. They have a great assortment of beers as well. It's more like a local bar w/ food, but it's way better than your average pub food. We loved both meals there, so I can't help but give it all 5 stars. Best food in Lihue we found...

I Had the eggs Benedict this morning being my favorite breakfast I know a thing or two about it. The lemon in the hollandaise was overpowering, the "ham" which was an inch thick tasted of pork chop and tires, and was for some reason crusted. Just imagine biting through a lemon peal into a crunchy tire. I was left very disappointed and could not finish more than two bites of this soggy unbalanced dish.

This place seems like it should be on Diners Drive ins n Dives from the food network. Cool local place. They're burgers are ground with pork and beef. Super tasty. If you are in the area stop in for a burger for sure.

We went for midmorning breakfast on a Wednesday. The service couldn't have been friendlier and more accommodating (they're okay with some off-menu ordering). The fruit, yogurt, and granola was the best we've had around Kauai, and the banana-macadamia nut pancake was also delicious. No fancy espresso drinks, but they pour the coffee liberally. Easy parking.

when I go to the islands I always ask around and try to find the best mai tais. Been doing this for decades. I'm usually lucky if I can find one A-grade mai tai per visit. I found one here. Truly old-school 1940s style. Nothing like the fruity syrupy concoctions you get on the mainland. Plus they served an awesome Kalua pork plate. Service was a little slow but being on island time it didn't much matter. The only reason I found this place was because it was recommended by a local bartender.

Great place for a burger before embarking back on the NCL cruise, get the Feral Burger, not on the menu, and order a draft beer to go.

The Vegetarian Benedict was the best Benedict I have ever had. It had island grown grilled egg plant, seasoned tomato, and a thick wedge of buttery avocado. The hashed browns were freshly grated and fried. What a treat!

Not sure why this place doesn't have a better rating... The food was good (not the best burger I've had, but definitely not bad, I'll try something else next time), the beer was great! The service was fantastic. Our server, Cisco, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. It was a great first lunch in Kauai!

Oh, Feral Burger! It's juicy, yummy, tasty. It's pork, it's beef, it's.... I can't speak to much else there because both my partner and I ordered the feral burger after talking to a few locals, all of whom recommended we come to the Feral Pig to have the Feral Burger, which is not listed on their menu. It's half beef, half pork, topped with caramelized onions, pork belly.... the juice is dripping of the burger as you raise it to your mouth. It's perfectly done, and Oh. So. Good. If you're looking for a good burger out there, it's highly recommended.

I had a gross burger there. Salad that costs $3 extra was boring and the dressing was lazy. My stomach was upset all evening.

Went here for breakfast but by the time we got here was more like lunch. The waiter said we could order from the breakfast menus if we wanted to. I was contemplating on either a Sirloin with fried rice or a loco moco. But when I saw the breakfast menu I decided on the Feral Moco suggested by the waiter. It was a half beef/half pork patty over fried rice topped with melted cheddar cheese, bacon, 2 over medium eggs and gravy all over. I was thinking minus the cheddar cheese because I couldn't imagine a loco moco with cheese on top. It was indeed delicious with all the blended flavors. The burst of flavors worked together. The patty wasn't tender like a hamburger steak, I'm assuming because of the pork mix. My girlfriend ordered the banana bread french toast. She said it was really sweet and didn't need syrup. I don't think she enjoyed it as she only ate 1 of the 2. I would come here again.

Owners and staff are fantastic. Be sure to say hello and chat for a bit. Delicious food, especially pulled pork and house made pickles, and wonderful cocktails. The good creative kind, so let them come up with something that works for you. Closes early so get in before 9pm. Much more like a gastropub versus a typical tourist joint. Lots of locals is always a good sign.

Feral Burger is solid. Excellent in many ways. I would find a different bun; however, it's very tasty, and worth your money. The house-cured "pork belly" truly brings it together. Very pleasing servers. A good choice for daytime eats in Lihue.

Melissa N.

A Must do place to eat! Their special is the Feral Burger- makes any other "burger" pale in comparison. Pork and beef blend turned into magic with pork belly BACON, with a thick slice of cheddar cheese and topped off magically with their home made aioli sauce. You won't see it on the menu- just ask for the Feral Burger you won't ever regret it.

Went here for lunch after reading a fair amount of positive reviews. Perhaps we had too high expectations of the famed Off menu Feral Burger. First off, the service was not good. The waitress did not write down our order, and predictably, she did not get our order right. We asked for a burger without cheese, and the burger came with cheese. We also ordered a beer and she forgot to bring it. When we brought her errors to her attention, she was not apologetic. Second red flag: they didn't ask how we wanted our burger cooked. It came well done. While the burger was edible, it was not anything special, nor was it worth the $15 we paid. We also sampled the shrimp tempura po boy. The sourdough roll was not toasted and the tempura shrimp was already soggy by the time it arrived. Overall, very disappointed by our experience here and underwhelmed by the food.

My BF and I ended up here cause... well... it says "pig" in the name and the man loves bacon. He had the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and pickles. He loved the pickles and felt it had a different taste to it which complemented the meal. I had the veggie wrap. Well, it was kind of lacking but it was actually a decent wrap. It was more like a salad wrap, but there was no dressing (which I adored) and the fries were fantastic. Definitely not bogged down and it was nice and light.

We were going to go to a neighboring restaurant but the rude service sent us down to the feral pig. We lucked out. The signature burger was incredible, and the Maui IPA was a nice hoppy beer with some punch. I definitely recommend it. Not too pricey, and the wait staff was friendly and fun.

Great beer selection and good food. Service was fast and efficient - which is not something found on this island. The food is nothin special, but it is well done a hey have a special burger - not on the menu! Laid back atmosphere, good people. Glad I went will go back.

I went in the other day after reading the good reviews and feral did not disappoint! Our waitress Rachel was so cute and took our experience to the next level. She suggested some great beers and the feral tacos! Food was great, service was even better. I can't wait to become a regular here!

Amazing clam chowder. The Feral comes through again. The fish n chips is on the way. Fish n chips --- not so good. What's up!?! Breakfast food much better. Kalua Pig - a 10!

The place is awesome. New, but totally good! We were on a vacation here for a week (visiting family) and this is one of two places we came back to twice. Friendly service, and the beermosa is something I'm gonna take back with me to the mainland to share. If you're taking a Blue Hawaiian flight, your best bet is to come here for some pregame cocktails and not the "sports bar" upstairs. Kalua pig was good at dinner time, and we even got a few "tester" shots that were money.

This place is AWESOME! Found it while we were on vacation and ended up eating breakfast there 4 out of the 7 days on the island! The Feral loco is a must try!!!

So...let me start this review with...I wanted it to be better than what the other review were stating. The creative name, 'kewl' staff, and well designed T's seemed to give it some unusual hope. We arrived and the restaurant was empty. The owners were sitting at the bar....I told the waitress that Chef Ramsey would def have a problem with that. My mom and I were actually excited to try this place out. We ordered the porl loin that was served with mashed potatoes with blue cheese over the top, and cole slaw. After I review her meal I will hit up mine. To start, her meat was served a little too pink which is fine. Her mashed potatoes were unacceptable (that is the only word I can think of to describe) they were cold in the middle...maybe not enough time in the microwave ...tisk...tisk...tisk. Seriously. The frickin' middle of the scoop of potatoes were cold, thus there was no hope foe her blue cheese to melt - such a great idea. This was not a $6 meal. It was $18.00. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Her slaw was not slaw, and the dressing was made with skunky limes. DID YOU TRY WHAT YOU WERE SERVING CHEF? There is nothing worse than wasting a dime. I ordered their burger that they are 'known' for...it was okay. The meat had fat knuckles in it. The pork belly was yummy, and they servied me twice fried fries. I know this to be true as my mom asked that they just bring her fries and they were hot. Mine were warm. Like I said the burger was good, but there was not balance. The slaw, minus the skunky lime would have been a nice touch. All and all, I feel I am being generous for the review. I will not share that they were doing heavy dusting while we were there....hence the smell of cleaner. I am talking cleaning off the blades of the dusty A$$ fans. Not worth the money, L&L is a better value and half the price.

Best pub food in the Kalapaki Beach area! We popped in here for a bite to eat on a Sunday night, and were greeted with the sound of live Irish music - turns out a band of locals, calling themselves Whiskey O, were playing. Rousing music, drawing a crowd that that made the place lively but also sort of hot and stuffy. Cold beer helped. The Feral Burger, not officially on the menu, seems the thing to order. Local Kauai beef with kalua pork and a special sauce with toppings (looking very similar to a bacon cheese burger with onions) that was absolutely delicious. I ordered it with a salad instead of fries, and the salad was also local, made with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. They offer breakfast, but we were never awake early enough to try it. However, if you want sandwiches and burgers with beer and Irish music to top it off, this is the place to be.

Had the BLT and the Fish and Chips with Clam Chowder. Awesome! Great service. Good folk. Good local beer. I would recommend to anyone!

The only reason I gave this 3 stars is because the service wasn't great, but the food...delicious. We ordered the feral burger (not on the menu) and feral tacos. The feral burger is a mix of ground beef and pork and is outstanding with caramelized onions, some more pork on top and fresh pickles. It also comes with their signature sauce which I would ask for a side of next time. The burger is large and the sauce kind of gets lost. The tacos were delicious as well with ground beef, pork, avocado and their sauce. Back to the service. We sat outside and felt like we may have been forgotten about at times, but our waitress was really nice. I'd recommend this place for a nice and reasonably priced lunch or dinner.

This was our last meal before heading to Lihue to the airport! The pork belly/beef tacos were absolutely delicious!!!! Felt bad leaving any behind, nice portions! I would eat there again and definitely recommend!

Tasty food and friendly service. The usual breakfast fare of omelettes, pancakes and egg dishes, plus some local favorites. Coffee was also great.

In resort town you expect resort eating establishments! These come with beautiful settings, lovely food elegantly displayed, and servers at your beck and call! Naturally, you pay with sticker shock that could wake the dead! But hey, you don't just eat at those places, you pay for the experience! That's not what The Feral Pig is all about. Located in strip mall of sorts, with a bevy of restaurants, shops, and who knows what, the Feral Pig is just wholesome cafe food. Don't come here looking for resort dinning...you won't find it! The Feral Pig has a bit of an edge: The tables and chairs are down to earth, the decor is modest at best, and the waitresses have more artistic tattoos than I've seen in a very long time! If you don't mind all that (and I don't mind) do come to The Feral Pig for the food! I ordered the Kahlua pig omelet and I was not disappointed! The portions were good, the service was fine, and the price was reasonable. Heck, our waitress was even convivial! No, this place is a nice alternative to the "gouge city" bill of fare to found elsewhere!

Dope local spot with great food! Try the Feral burger. It's not on the menu but it's 1/2 boar 1/2 grass-fed beef and 100% Ono!!! Best burger spot on da island for sure.

We visited the feral pig on a Saturday afternoon for a late breakfast/lunch. Service was a bit slow initially, but once our servers arrived, they were warm and friendly. My wife ordered the Sloppy Kalapaki. I was close to ordering a standard Hawaiian breakfast of fried rice, eggs over easy, and spam, but our server persuaded me to order an "off-menu" item called the Feral Burger. The sloppy kalapaki was a fairly standard BBQ-ish sandwich with shredded pork. It was a solid sandwich with good flavor, the BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering and it was a decent size. The feral burger was a mixture of pork-beef, bacon, and cheddar. It's the best burger I've had yet on Kau'ai. The combination of flavors was a pleasant surprise. Both sandwiches came with fries that were too crispy and tasted more like charred crisps than real fries, but the sandwiches compensated for the lack in the fries department. Worth a trip if you're in the mood for a good burger/sandwich.

Rebecca S.

We ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and a Cobb salad. They had run out of avocado at 5:30pm (come on guys, send someone to the store to pick a few up). The decor was worn and sad. The fries were so cold and soggy we had to ask them to make fresh ones. Service was good though. Over-priced and average food. We wouldn't return if we came back to Kauai.

In Lihue there's not much options for breakfast. But this place does a decent breakfast. I got the house made sausage, egg, waffle plate. The waffle was excellent, nice and crispy but not overly so. The sausage were pretty mild tasting but I appreciate that the make their own. Coffee was also pretty good. Next trip I want to try their feral local moco that people seem to be mentioning. I also like the fact that they have a bar and I can order a bloody mary for breakfast.

Gregg S.

Probably should have ordered a burger. The fish and chips should be avoided. They treat the fish like a chicken tender and fry it in so dense awful breading. I picked the nice white fish out. The fries are great but like other reviewers I got a few fries and about a 100 bottom of the barrel fry bits. Service was very nice. Would I go back? Not a chance

Oahu friends this place is not to be missed as one of the owners tended bar at the fabulous TOWN and is exceptional.

First time for trying this place and we really enjoyed it. A little pricey but worth the try and we'll be back. We ordered the feral loco moco, eggs benedict with canadian bacon, and banana bread French toast. The French toast was a little too sweet for me but my mom loved it. I enjoyed the lemony hollandaise sauce.

Anniversary lunch on da island. It was amazing. Kinda like Slaters 50/50 or. Hodads burger )California) I ordered feral tacos and salad came with it. My hubby ordered (off the menu) Feral burger and fries. Both were tasty. Tacos lighter. It was fun.

Darcy T.

Burger tasted a little fishy and the fries kinda sucked. Service was good, but I Wouldn't recommend the food.

Fish tacos were light on the fish, burger was way overdone and service was kind of slow. Not recommended if you want something good to eat. Head across the street for better burgers and up into Lihue for better fish tacos.

Vanessa Miracle B.

You know, I went here with a party of 6. They all seemed to really like it, but for some reason I was not a fan of this place. The beer was delicious, but even coors light will do the job (but 1 star for it anyway). I ordered their burger, forget the name. I just remember it not being that great to me & the fries were crispy which is really what I like, but these tasted like they were fried in really old & abused oil. Customer service gave em another star, but I wouldn't go back if I were to ever go to Kauai again.

Robert H.

This place is terrible and I can't believe they will be in business much longer. (1) Half the beers on tap are tapped. (2) I stopped in to have a Mauai IPA and made reservations for St Paddy's night dinner for 7 people. The bar manager said "great...see you then." We showed up for our reservation and the manager told us they don't take reservations and that we were out of luck. We left and had a good dinner elsewhere. Terrible service from a place with barely any beer. I would give it zero stars but Yelp says I have to give it at least one.
(1)
Deanna M.

I came here with moderate expectations as I have had a few friends tell me it was delicious. Customer service was terrible. The waitress barely spoke to me, and would not even look at me when she did speak. Not friendly and I certainly did not feel welcome. I ordered a tuna melt on sourdough. It tasted good...hence the 2nd star. It came with fries. The "fries" were a huge pile of the little tiny ones that no one wants. How is anyone supposed to eat that?? I could not even dip them in the ketchup without getting my fingers drenched. Ambiance was okay. Great rock music playing but it did not seem decorated at all. Smelled like a typical grungy bar. Yeah...I will not be going back.

i was pretty excited to eat here, and i wont lie - it was mostly b/c the name seemed interesting and cool.... but.... some things just dont live up to the hype. upon entering and being seated, our server was a little bit rude, and was not very knowledgeable about items on the menu, or beverage selections.... and i don't think she was new b/c the other girl servers seemed to be asking her questions like she was the one in charge of the shift that morning..... i decided to try the kalua pig hash with scrambled eggs. the food was pretty bland, and the plate presentation was pretty horrible. it looks like they literally just threw my food on the plate.... from across the room. for a place with such an interesting (and hopeful) name as "The Feral Pig" i was expecting more pork based foods, but they actually didn't have too much pork anything. they do however put kalua pig in several of their dishes, but that is about it. its also pretty hot in there, so try to come on a cooler day (if you even decide to eat here) b/c if not, you'll be sweating all over... we had a party of 10 people, and everyone said pretty much the same thing = bland and/or junk kine food. i should note however, some of our friends decided to go back for dinner (i'm thinking b/c it was close-by, NOT b/c it was good)... and they said dinner was way better than breakfast. that being said, don't get breakfast here! unless you like bland.....

For us, the concept of this place was in conflict with the execution of it. Came here because we saw a menu flyer someplace. Groovy vintage beverage menu. So impressed by the idea. Then the menu talks about resourcing local food. You had me at hello. Waitress was friendly enough. Ok, let's pause here. *if* then we added great food - I'd be raving. Sadly, the pork and cabbage was something regrettable - searching under cabbage for pork and then disappointing pork. The shrimp cilantro wontons were very very very thick dough-wise and burnt. It was eating a slab of deep friend dough. Even tried to nibble out the filling - just not all that tasty. I hope our experience was an outlier. I LOVE the ideas, but just not a 1 app, 2 beverage, 2 meal = $70 experience.

Dyan H.

I came for breakfast and sat outside. Not a good suggestion, I was a forgotten soul. Once I finally ordered, they were great with accommodating my request of substituting sausage instead of Canadian bacon on my eggs Benedict. (Not on the menu). My order was a bit messed up but corrected quickly by my server. Over all experience was ok.

Stopped in for lunch and had the pulled pork sandwich..... Delicious.... A local place... Low key with $5. Beers... They are super nice and friendly!!!!! Go for the food....and of course the beer

THE FERAL BURGER!! If you are taking a break from your diet...this is what you want to be your splurge meal. Seriously. A pork-beef patty, onions, cheese, and slices of pork belly make this burger one for the books. The homemade pickles and French fries make the meal complete. I don't think you'll find a burger to top this one on Kauai...or possibly anywhere in the whole state. It's not something you could eat everyday, but you must try it once! Since our burgers we're take out, I can't say much else about the restaurant, but the bar staff was very attentive and super friendly.

Megan L.

They warned us that the food was running 45 minutes, but we could get drinks immediately. Our drinks took 45 minutes (our server forgot, yet the place was not packed) and our appetizers came with our food. My ahi tuna was dry and overcooked, but my friends' said they had good burgers. Service was sad, place was dirty, stick with burgers if you go.
(2)
Karin S.

Keep in mind island prices- rib eye was cooked perfectly, side of mash good, greens a little bitter. Fish is delicious (watch for bones) and pork loin perfectly tender with blue cheese mash, yum. Kahlua Cuban sandwich was good and filling. Nice bottled beer selection, good drafts as well but they may run out.

If you are staying in the Kauai Marriott Resort then you should not miss the opportunity to have breakfast at the Feral Pig. Walking distance, excellent food, and one third of the price that you will pay at the resort.

Excessively slow service. Had to get my own water. Advised waitress of family sitting adjacent to us... That no one helped them. It took almost 2 hours to get our food.

So we decided to give this place a try for lunch. My Kauai beef burger was made to perfection. House made pickles, excellent. The fries were really great, fresh cut and crispy. We also had the pulled pork sandwich and the Feral burger special. Pork was tasty. Only complaint the feral burger was over cooked. Quite a plethora of beers available on draft as well as in the bottle. Give this joint a go. Enjoy!

Steve R.

Looked good for breakfast this morning... As we ordered, the server asked us if we wanted "potatoes or hashbrowns" Really? What are hashbrowns? Rice? Then another brilliant non answer... Toast came. my wife asked if it was already buttered, since the was no butter at the table. We got a puzzled look as if WE were stupid. She had no idea about butter... which was finally resolved when another server passed by and brought us some. Funny, but when it came to bar drinks ordered at a nearby table, she was an EXPERT ! Food was average at best, sausage patty woefully under-seasoned.

Breakfast was decent. Food was good but not great. I hate overcooked bacon. If I was serving a guest bacon I know better to never, ever burn it and plate it. Service was slow for what appeared to be a well staffed restaurant.

Jessica S.

Great food!ate the Feral burger. Good portion of burger and fries. The fries are gluten free-NOTE they are cooked in same fryer as other gluten foods. Being intolerant I can handle that. Service was slow, was disappointed in that. They were not busy. Prices seem okay/fair. $14-fish/fries/claim chowder. $12- Feral burger/fries

Hugo G.

This restaurant is an up and comer. The menu has evolved and this place has the appearance of first real gastro pub in Kauai. A must is the ultimate bloody Mary it is out of this world and a meal worth having for breakfast. It come with a larger bloody Mary a slider, a bacon wraped Maui shrimp some olives and a pickle. For $15 it is the best I have ever had. And I have had plenty.
(4)
Christine O.

Tried this place out and we were not disappointed! We ordered three items: the breakfast sandwich, a side of banana French toast, and the breakfast tacos. All of them were just as expected, and even more! We really enjoyed our meal. My one caution is that the breakfast sandwich was really, really greasy. It was incredibly good but the grease was pooling on the plate and ran down my hand with each bite. I ate the entire thing and loved it, but thought I would mention it for anyone who it may bother. Tacos and banana toast were mm mmmmm good!

Julie F.

The signature Feral Pig burger will haunt my dreams. It was that good. This is a new must-stop for us for future Kauai trips - Land in Lihue, rent car, eat at The Feral Pig, go to condo. We almost forwent the fries out of virtue but the waitress stopped us. It takes four days to make these fries, she said. They are soaked and then twice-fried. They actually taste like potatoes. She was right. I am ruined. No other french fry will ever measure up again. Friendly, helpful staff. Great drink options. Locally-sourced meat and veggies. Love.

Elizabeth M.

This was probably my husband's favorite place to eat during our honeymoon. He was so excited about the Feral Burger - he practically licked his plate! The burger was juicy and the flavors went together perfectly. I stuck with a salad, and jealously listened to him go on and on about his burger! We had lunch here, with drinks, and walked out paying about $35! Great price and delicious food.

Found this place while driving around looking for breakfast on a Monday morning. A lot of businesses aren't open on Monday so this was a "thank god" moment for us. My boyfriend who has been to Hawaii before was craving a loco moco - it was exactly what he wanted and ate the whole thing. I had the feral moco and it was DELICIOUS and it was a ton of food. The fried rice and cheese were my favorite differences.

Close to the airport, amazing tasty beer selection, reasonably priced local ingredients, great service, tasty fish tacos and burgers plus free parking. What is not to like!

Patrick R.

The food was good but the service was horrible. The feral moco was delicious. My wife had the kalua pork hash and said it was bland. The service was no good, I ordered a drink that sat on the bar for thirty minutes, and our server completely ignored us. Go somewhere else.

Sarah G.

Really unimpressed. The place was dirty. The service was not friendly and slow. We came for the breakfast and everyone of us left still hungry. I couldn't believe how small the portions were.

Kristin R.

After looking at their menu and website, I had high expectations for the Feral Pig. We stopped in one morning for breakfast after an awesome helicopter ride over Kauai. Upon entering, we were a little disappointed this was more of a pub in a mall than the simple restaurant we were hoping for. It's cool, though...our first server was so nice and attentive. He answered all of our questions and helped us order gluten free. I had the kahlua pig omelette with a gluten free biscuit. The omelette was so greasy I could barely eat half. The biscuit was dense, but its to be expected with gf. My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito over greens instead of in the wrap, which he said was much less greasy than my eggs, but still not great. Our servers switched halfway through the meal and the waitress that picked us up was a bit hard to wrangle, so we waited a while for the missed order of hash browns, the check and payment. Because of the experience, we decided not to visit for dinner, but judging by reviews, that might be the best time to go.

Gabby L.

Went here a couple days ago with my boyfriend for breakfast. The service was speedy and everyone was so friendly. I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy. It was ok not the best, but the feral party moko they have is amazing. It also looked like they had a good selection of beer. I will for sure come back here next time I am on Kauai and order beer and maybe the feral burger. Chill atmosphere and very nice staff. :)

Stacy S.

I came in for a late night snack and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu. Usually, at places that are used to having tourists you end up having to hold that greasy plasticy menu with generic food pictures on it. The Feral Pig has the kind if menu I am used to seeing being from Los Angeles. Simply printed and so many yummy options. I had a pork sandwich which was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. Would definitely have it again. Craft beer selection was great!
(5)
Shana K.

Order "the special" and a local beer on tap. You won't be disappointed. This place is very laid back and a great first stop after landing on Kauai. Depending on the time of day, parking can be an issue, but it's completely worth it to find a spot and wander in. The wait staff is helpful in telling you about the different beers and anything on the menu. Come in and relax. You'll feel comfortable and right at home.

Ryan C.

This was the first place we tried when we came into Kauai. We wanted to get a beer and some food so we tried it out. Our waiter literally seemed like he knew nothing about the menu. When we asked what beers they had he listed the types, not brands. My sister got fish tacos and asked for no dairy on hers, then our waiter comes back and says he wont use flour tortillas because she cant have dairy. Yes, our waiter thought there was dairy in a flour tortilla. Perhaps stick behind the bar and learn the beers instead of serving bro. Next we ordered the special burger and some fish tacos. I asked for avocado on my burger and the manager (who was sitting at the bar the whole time) comes up and tells us they are not ripe yet. And yet you have them on the menu.....in a restaurant.... The burger wasn't bad. Had some good flavors. The fish tacos had NO flavor. Pretty awful. I probably wouldn't come back to the feral pig. There is dairy in pig right?
(2)
Tiffany A.

I live on Kauai and have visited this restaurant numerous times. I never write reviews. This is actually my girlfriends account, but the owners of Feral Pig need to know how bad their service is. Every time we go there we are very disappointed with the service. Last night we were one of two tables in the whole restaurant, and it was like an act of God to get a second beer. Not to mention the waitress was rude when she finally came back to the table. We keep on trying to give this place a chance, but we won't return until they can get better service. Too bad, because they do have an excellent beer selection.

Anyone who knows me, or that has read my reviews, knows that I take my food seriously. I didn't pack on 75 pounds while only growing two inches since high school by watching the food truck drive by. So when someone says this is the best cheeseburger you will ever have, well, that's a bold statement that warrants some research. Which brings us to the Feral Pig. (By the way, folks at the Feral, if you are reading this and Nick at Kauai Outfitters is not on your payroll, he should be). Of course I ordered the Feral Burger (an off the menu item) while the bride opted for the tuna melt. Of course she said the tuna melt was delicious because it was made with fresh tuna this being Kauai and all, yada yada yada. To be fair, I had a bite and it was really good. But the Feral Burger is what brought me here. Half fresh ground Kauai beef, half ground in-house smoked pork shoulder topped with caramelized onions, proprietary aioli, pork belly and melted cheddar cheese served up on a Hawaiian sweet roll with house made twice fried fries. Mmmm...yeah, I'm having a moment here. It was THAT good. Best cheeseburger ever? Well, seems kind of unfair to put all cheeseburgers in the same category, but best I can remember having? You bet. All ingredients and even most brews locally sourced, free parking and a friendly and attentive staff make this a must stop on your way in our out from the airport or as you are exploring the island.

It was a Monday night, around 7:30pm. We sat and ordered two meals and a beer. It took literally 1 hour to get our food. And it was alright, nothing great. The waiters were nice but no one came to us to say hey it's going to take a while... nothing. I mean I know no one is in a rush here in Hawaii, but 1 HOUR wait for the burgers? Come on!

Oddly enough, this is a great place to go for a good Mai Tai. They make a nice from-scratch drink in the Trader Vic's style (no Bacardi or OJ/pineapple juice here!) They make their own orgeat, which is always a good sign. They're maybe slightly heavy-handed with it, but it's a fine drink and they're consistent among different bartenders. They also have a very good beer selection. Not too many taps, but well utilized with good variety. They carry local beers, including from Kauai Beer Co. up the street, which is really nice. It was sad that so few bars/restaurants offer a decent variety of locally made beers. The food was pretty good on both our visits, sandwiches were fine, fries were pretty good, and the jerk chicken was nice and spicy. On our two visits the service was also very good. Our servers were polite, friendly, and competent and gave us just the right amount of attention. No complaints. The decor was more stark than we expected, but it was clean. With decent food, a good beer selection, and impressive Mai Tais, we don't much care what it looks like. We'll be back next time!

Really yummy place for dinner. Had dinner here last night with a couple of friends after getting no service at the place upstairs. Friendly waitress, who provided great service! Had fish tacos and it was yummy! Good portion sizes as well. Hubby got the feral burger and he liked it. Good beet selection with fair prices. Will recommend!

My wife and I were staying at a hotel near the Feral Pig last week, several days into our trip we dropped into the Feral Pig for lunch. Then we went for breakfast the next day. And the next. The food was very well prepared and except for the mocos [which would harden your arteries by looking at them] seemed to be made with fresh healthy food [mostly] in mind. The managers Francisco and Robert were great hosts. If you are staying in Lihue get out of your high priced hotel restaurant and go to the Pig!!!

Debbie M.

The ferel burger isn't what it used to be. Lacked in flavor and seasoning and definitely small compared to when we were here last year but now it is not worth the $12 they're charging for a mediocre burger. Calamari was good. Service was excellent.

Read a lot of good things about the Feral burger, and decided to drop in two days ago to try it out. Meh....it was okay. An okay burger, a little less in quality than one you can get from Teddy's. Entered the establishment and it was perhaps 2/3's full. No host/hostess, so I ambled up to a waitress and asked where I should sit, she said anywhere so I grabbed a table. Didn't appear to be busy, but waited perhaps 10 minutes before a waitress came by and I gave her my order for a Feral burger. As an aside, in regards to the wait help, quite a few of them had this concerned look on their faces, what appeared to be a manager was sitting at a table near the bar with stacks of bills/tickets in front of him, and appeared to be adding up the take. Wait help would stop by and talk in terse tones to the guy. In any case, my burger came out quite quickly. The plate consisted of two pickles on the side, the Feral burger itself, and a handful of fries. Pickles-they're pickles. Nuff said. Feral burger--I had read here about the burger being comprised of half pork shoulder and half beef, and so I was expecting a juicer burger due to the presumably fattier pork meat, unfortunately it wasn't. Perhaps it was the papa`a/koge (well done) condition of the patty itself, but I was expecting it to be much juicier. The dryness was helped by a sort of Outback Bloomin Onion like aioli/sauce, and the cheese which had melted wonderfully into a gooey substance. The bacon, well let's face it, bacon will make everything taste better. The bun appeared to be a standard circular role with a sweet note to it, fluffy on the inside and firmer on the outer shell. All in all, it was a good burger. Fries--shoestring type. The appeared to be a little dessicated, perhaps because of their thinness they had been left in the fryer a little too long and had turned into chips rather than fries. When I tried one, I got the "I've been fried a while ago and been sitting under a hot lamp waiting to be served taste." You know that sort of stale one you get from a fry that has been served past it's shelf life. Don't get me wrong, it was an okay meal and I would go back to try the other dishes. Maybe I just went on the wrong day.

Jennifer F.

Had to try this place because of the name. Nice atmosphere. Great for football watching. I had a strong lager with a pineapple twist. It was really nice. I'm a light weight, so one beer did it for me. My husband had the whiskey special drink, and he enjoyed it. For my meal, I had the burger. Cooked perfectly and made to order. The fries were just how I like as well. If you are looking for a good lunch to watch the game by, this place might work for you.

Jason P.

Wow...I don't eat burgers very often, but this is how you make them. All local produce, house made sauce, taro bun, and amazing burgers. The fries and Aloha Beer were a nice compliment. Since I don't usually eat burgers I guess I can't really compare this to anything but still, I craved it again and again the whole week. Not really a place to socialize though. Just a get, get out and eat a lot kinda place....but that's just me.

My GF and i were searching for Kilua pork sandwich and we scored at the Feral Pig. Food, service and drink were spot on for the price point. Server was prompt and attentive. IPA was cold. What more do you need?

Great service here, and good food as well. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful with our wild son. She also changed up the dishes to give us exactly what we wanted. Really a very high level if service. The food was good, and the ingredients were high quality. We asked about where they get their meats from and they are actively trying to source local organic ingredients, which we really look for. We were there for breakfast, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good breakfast in a nice environment with great service.

Tucked away in a little shopping center is this gem, The feral pig! Those from Oahu should know the feral pig is "friends" with Town in Kaimuki! If you like the fresh ingredients at town you will love it here. Everything here is sourced locally. Had the signature burger and fries, must admit I went to lard heaven! I could feel my blood vessels tighten with delight. They serve a great bloody mary and local beer here as well. The breakfast was pretty good too! Eggs with house made pork hash or breakfast burrito are excellent breakfast choices!

Graciete L.

It's a pub that serves good food. Friendly but rather slow service. Came here at 8'ish on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy. Great selection of local beer. Yes to the feral burger! (not on the menu) I will order this again and again and again. Fries were teeny tiny and not very tasty. And no to the fish tacos (what was I thinking?!).

Kerri M.

My hubby and friend liked this restaurant for lunch. It was lunch time so we sat ourselves and we eventually got serviced. The guys had a beer with their cubano sandwiches which they liked. This cubano is made with kalua pork. I had the pblt. I have not had pork belly before and so I was hoping it would taste better than bacon. It tasted like a thicker slice of bacon. The parking situation at this location is tight and you might have to park in the back since there is no street parking. If you like sandwiches, I would suggest this place to try while on Kauai, it's reasonable and the food is pretty good.

Waffle was so hard I couldn't cut through it. French toast was sub par. Kalua pork with rice was lacking without the cabbage. Pancake was okay. Poached egg had a weird sour taste. Portuguese sausage was the only good thing. Server was inattentive. I will post a pic of the fort I built out of my "waffle."

This place has mixed reviews so I wasn't sure what to think, but I ended up really liking it. The food was delish and the beer selection was good! They make a beer mosa, which I didn't try, but will have to my next visit. The portion sizes are good. The waitress was great, very friendly. It's a great place to stop for lunch!

Avoid this place Had dinner across the street and we were told that this is a good place for drinks We went in and were asked if we were OK with an outside table - racism ? We said yes The people behind us were all seated and we waited for 20 minutes before they seated us Then we waited for 45 minutes even after multiple calls to Tue waiter Nobody came and served us We finally stood up and left The first time I have ever done at a restaurant

From the second we walked in the two women behind the bar seemed to give us a dirty look and mumbled air anywhere. When our server finally came around (~8 minutes later) we got the menus and drink orders in. Add another 8 for her to return to take our orders. Then came the big wait. We sat there for a solid 30 minutes with no drink refills or any explanation as to where our food was. I ordered the loco moco and made it very clear that I wanted it medium rare and it came out well done. On top of that the gravy tasted like something made from a packet. Overall poor dining experience.

Food is good especially the pork/beef with pork belly burger that is not on the menu but service is slow and unresponsive to needs. I needed to flag down a waitress for another round at our table even though she passed by several times and should have noticed that we were out of drinks.

Miki L.

I had the charcuterie platter. It came with prosciutto, a few salami, pork belly strips, some pate, mustard and a few pickles. I like the pickles; the rest was, just ok. I also tried their chicken wings with a Guinness glaze. Ick. Hard wings with cold goopy sauce with no flavor. Beer was good, prices fair and service pretty friendly. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items.

Just had breakfast there and really enjoyed it. I had coffee and A Bloody Mary, both were really good and I enjoyed them. For food I had eggs over easy with toast and their specialty pork hash. The breakfast was perfect and I wish I would be around to go back and try their other courses. All and all, seems like a decent bar.

Berkay U.

good food. good coffee. good service. tried steak and eggs, ahi and eggs, loco moco. Steak and Ahi were just ok...that's why 4 stars instead of 5. loco moco is great.

The Feral Pork sliders are 10 stars...there are none better anywhere and I mean anywhere...Most sliders are dried out non descript minature hockey pucks..Not here...juicy flavorable burger goodness, a must have....i also have had the Pot Stickers which are spot on as well.....I wish i could tell ya more but Im having trouble moving beyond the Sliders...Okay one more thing, a very, very nice craft beer selection both on tap and bottle/can..So if you are in Kauai, The Feral Pig is a must stop !

We went to feral pig for lunch before catching our flight back to the mainland. This place is really close to the port so there were some people who came off a Princess cruise. Anyways, this is a very casual restaurant, bordering on cafe. Anyways, I had the feral burger, a thick slice of pork belly (bacon)' cheese, patty made of pork and beef. Holy crap it was yummy and the fries were good, shoestring and really crispy. Hubby at the loco moco, it was pretty good. We didn't try the beers, but the food was pretty good. Service was okay

Christina H.

Don't expect to find anything healthy here...it's all comfort food with a slight twist. Everything was delicious and kept us full all day. My group actually went back 4 times in the 9 days we were on the island. Oh and don't mind the random chickens walking into the restaurant...just discreetly looking for scraps, James Bond has nothing on those birds.

Charles M.

Beermosa, loco moco, red beer. All awesome. The Feral moco is a very good- patty , eggs, sautÃ©ed onions, cheese, over fried rice w gravy! O yum. (Yikes, is it like a million calories? I say Vacation ) Coffee is strong and tasty.

Charlene S.

Sorry, I should have known an establishment named the "Feral Pig" here in Hawaii was a warning that it was a tourist spot. The Mahi dish was tasteless, the fried rice boring, the service 2nd class. The Banana Pancakes however was very good! Overall I give this place a mediocre rating! Really if you want a memorable breakfast local style during your visit here to the islands, anywhere but here at The Feral Pig! You can get this quality of food any where else on any street corner!

Sheryl H.

Cobb Salad, two words, best ever! Lettuce and cucumber were fresh, tomato and avocado perfectly ripe, generous portion of smokey bacon, creamy blue cheese, a whole egg cut in half and a large chicken breast perfectly cooked, sliced and served warm, homemade ranch on the side, can't wait to go back and order this again!
(5)
Metro S.

Yeah! Excellent burger. There's a burger not on the menu, the feral burger, that is outstanding. Good fries. I recommend getting cheese and green onions on the fries. The beer selection is really good for all the local brews. And the service comes with a smile and a great sense of humor.

Best food on island this trip! Great service ...breakfast lunch and beverages were fresh and delicious! We are comparing to kentaro, dukes canoe at Marriott and Kauai beach resort restaurants! The feral pig may not be authentic, but the food was tasty!

Wish I could have tried the food but never got the chance. 20 minutes before we ordered drinks and I don't know if thry ever came. 6 people in the restaurant, so no reason for the terrible service. Sad bc I heard it was good. I won't go back.

My husband usually does not eat a burger that has to be cooked medium well but he tried the Feral Burger, to die for!!! It was juicy and delicious! I had the banana bread French toast that was pretty good also. We will come back for sure.

Food was tasty, for what you pay. Prices reasonable. Fun little local hangout. I was disappointed w my fish and chips, heavy on the beer batter and the fish part was very minimal. But everyone was pleased by the pulled pork sandwich and kalua pork dish. I would go again I would just get something different next time.

Fish tacos for lunch with cold tortillas and running watery salsa...not much. Feral burger tasty but really sloppy. Service good from Nicole buy the tacos brought earlier experience down down down

Some colleagues and I traveled to Laie to watch the Kapa'a/Pearl City football and were super hungry so we stopped at the first place we could find. When we sat down I checked it out on Yelp and had some mixed reviews and a couple of pictures. I decided to avoid the fish and chips based on the pic on Yelp... Yelp is great at helping making better choices! The greeter guy gave the three of us menus... but weirdly my menu was different from the other two's. They were saying things looked good and I was like "where do you see that?" We compared menus and mine had less things than theirs did... it was weird. I can't help wonder if they gave me the "haole" menu as mine didn't have a lot of the more local sounding dishes... but that's probably my imagination. Based on the recommendation of the watiress (who was very nice) we all ordered something called "The Sloppy Kalapaki" which was a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. It was "eh" if you know what I mean. There was way more 'slaw than pork and the coleslaw dressing was so strong and acidic that it really overpowered everything else. BUT one positive: the Fries were REALLY good. Perfectly crunchy but not burnt. Very flavorful. Best fries I've had in a while. I would definitely go back for the fries. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing.

A S.

Had breakfast here one morning before our helicopter ride. It was great. Good service & food! Will definitely go back. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I didn't get the burger & we were in/out so fast. Really looking forward to next time.

Rick L.

Chill place. Very relaxed while you're there. Good selection of food and everything was tasty. The jerk wings were freakin yummy, great flavor and some good heat. Fish tacos were blackened and yummy and the Feral Burger (not on menu) was perfect. Gooey, juicy and really good.

Susan O.

I went to The Feral Pig while vacationing at the nearby Marriott on Kalapaki Beach. The bartender, wait staff, owners, and locals at the bar were so welcoming and nice. The cocktails were well made and the food was delicious. I've now recommended this place to others vacationers.

Ed T.

I really wanted to like this place. And I understand every place can have an off day .. But today was definitely one of those days.. There were a few disappointing things about our experience today.. First and foremost .. there were flies errrvrywhere (in voice of Cleveland Brown).. I don't ever mind the occasional buzzer but I counted 9 at once in front of me. So many that I actually took a pic with my phone of them (secretly I took a pic because two of them were "getting it on" and my fiance and I have never seen that before).. And man were they persistent. I understand it's an open air restaurant but invest in a fly light.. According to my parking ticket we got there at 12:12 and didn't leave until 2:00. The waitress was very courteous and had a smile the entire time but there were 25+ people in the restaurant and she was the only one there with no help. 5 out of 5 groups I watched walk her up the tab because they were tired of waiting..There was a bartender behind the bar, but he tended to one particular person most of the time (looked like possibly a friend?) and outside of bus-sing random tables every now and then he didn't offer her any help.. The food was decent enough (I ordered the Feral Loco Moco) but I literally spent the entire time eating and swatting at flies at the same time. Which made for a great workout but was pretty annoying.. Now there was the wild chicken that kept looping in and out the door that was actually pretty humorous. Got great pics of him too.. 2 hours free parking with validation.

What a quaint little greasy spoon dinner. Oh and there's a bar. Not a bad spot for brunch. Foods good, affordable, and the service is friendly. Feels like fresh home cooking.

Good breakfast, slow but friendly service. If you come for lunch, order the feral burger, it's certainly the best burger on the island! Prices are downright cheap after eating at the Marriott.
(5)
Vince L.

Located right across the road from the Marriott, it's in what's called "Restaurant Row." Honestly, that is such a grandiose name for a worn down plaza. I'm rating this only for the breakfast. It's a solid 3.5 stars. The servers are super friendly (which was the reason for the 4th star). The food itself was decent. They do cook up a mean Portuguese sausage, if you like that (which I do!)

David P.

Just had lunch this afternoon. As a longtime Lihue resident I have seen this site change hands many times. It was originally a sushi bar called the Tokyo Lobby and was great. Then it changed hands many time over a period of several years, and it looks like someone has finally found a winning combination using a pub style place. Had the Feral Burger for lunch - isn't on the printed menu but is great -combo beef/pork patty with cheese and home made crisp bacon - ono. Also the only place in town presently serving draft craft beers from the Kauai Brewing Company. Right now they have both of their brews: Black Limo, a real dark lager and Lihue Lager a light version, or try a black and tan combination. David P, Lihue

The staff is incompetent, the management is rude and condescending, and the food is sub-par.. I've given this place 4 separate chances and have been disappointed 4 times.. (I am not a slow learner, just really wanted to like this place as I'm a huge fan of Irish style pubs)... I've had dinner, breakfast, appetizers, and drinks here, and I have to say.. Don't waste your time or your money. I definitely will not recommend this establishment.

We went there tonight. Greeted and seated and the children were given crayons and coloring right away along with water. Treat my kids well and I become a patron for life. Hubby and I ordered the ferel burger because he read about it on yelp. We loved it. Both kids ate their entire meals of 2 sliders and fish and chips with no complaints. Service was spectacular. Server knew everything about the beer and treated the children well. Ambiance is not spectacular but the food more then makes up for it!

We can't comment on the food but we left after being ignored by our waitress after sitting for 10 minutes. We went upstairs to Kalapaki Joe's. Much better atmosphere and service.

Food was good but service was horrible. Initial guy behind the bar was cool and welcoming. The bad service came from the waitress. She looked angry and like she didn't want to be there. She forgot parts of our orders and didn't bother apologizing for the mistake. She definitely didn't make us feel welcome.

The burger was great. When we were there they were playing live music, it was great. Had a great kids menu, my girls loved the fish and chips. Very friendly staff- must stop for a beer, burger, and keeps the kids entertained.

Worst food from our trip... I ordered Kalua breakfast tacos and it was so bland except for the huge amount of jalapeÃ±os, which just left my mouth on fire. My family member ordered loco moco and had to send it back as the meat was literally red when cut into :( disappointed overall.

Lee Z.

Take a chance on the special or anything Dave suggests. He focuses on local organic ingredients and always makes a huge effort to incorporate seasonal fresh. Cocktails are awesome and creative, some of the best are not on the menu so be sure to ask. My fav is the corps reviver. Can't go wrong with the feral burger or fresh locally caught fish. Berry cobbler is amazing

Feral burger....in a word, DELICIOUS! Oh yeah, and totally artery clogging-your perfect last meal! We split one.....Locally sourced beef and pork. We'll have to come back soon for the dinner. Casual dining at Nawiliwili Harbor.

Beermosa for breakfast! :) This placed ended up being a random spot after walking by to pick-up pizza in the same plaza. Pleasantly surprised that I wasn't terribly disappointed. I enjoyed the breakfast options and thought it was a nice change from the "resort" food. Ok in my book.

The Feral Burger-which was not on the menu when we went, but they were happy to make it for us-was the best burger we have had in a very long time!!! Definitely worth a trip to the restaurant! They also serve Hawaiian beer, which we enjoyed! Definitely one of the best things we ate on Kauai!!!!
(4)
Jeff H.

I really liked this place, went there 3 time while on vacation. Had the Feral Burger twice and the Cubano. My wife ordered the the Sloppy Kalapaki, she liked it, but I didn't care for it. It has a vinegar based bbq sauce that I am not used to. The service was great and the local beer selection was great.
(4)
Jessica G.

Went here for breakfast on our last day since we were stayin at the Marriott. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. We had the breakfast burrito (beans were not cooked enough) and the banana Mac nut pancakes. Pancakes were definitely better at Tip Top Cafe. Service was good but probably wouldn't come back unless it was the only thing open.
(2)
Sundee C.

Great service! Loved the ginger lemonade. I tried their Feral Pig burger after hearing from several people that it was a must, and I wasn't disappointed. Everything is homemade. The burger is half pork belly and half beef ground together topped with bacon with homemade sauce, served on a Hawaiian sweetbread bun. There were homemade pickle slices served on the side. Definitely a great way to indulge.

Kristine W.

Walked in. Sat down. Waitress took our order about 10 minutes later. Water and orange juice delivered shortly after that. Three tables sat after us, right around us. ALL TABLES RECEIVED THEIR FOOD BEFORE US. We are a party of two - other tables were two, four and six. We waited upwards of an hour for our food. Frustrated, I asked for the bill for our OJ so we could leave. That took another 10 minutes. I had to hunt the waitress down. Waitress only apologized AFTER I was noticeably upset. I've worked in restaurants before - I have a lot of patience. WORST. SERVICE. EVER.
(1)
Chris D.

This place got good reviews and seemed like it would be a cool place for lunch. Wrong. Our waitress was tweaking super hard, which caused her to fail at everything. After seating ourselves, we waited at least five minutes to be greeted by our waitress, another five for menus (the bartender asked if we wanted them--and they were covered in food stains), and five more minutes for water. Long story short, food was good but the service was terrible. Also, lots of flies inside. Would not go back. Ever.
(2)
N. S.

Good burger but a few things I did not like: 1) ordered a specifically plain burger but was still topped with everything 2) chicken wings were not very tasty and only 4 in the half order Total cost for 4 wings and two burgers over $30... On the plus, the burger was tasty
(3)
I B.

At the suggestion of our Zip Line guide, we tried the Feral Pig Burger--not listed on the menu. This is an outrageous, gut-busting indulgance like you've never had before. Beef, pork, pork belly and tons of other stuff comprise this beautiful burger. I'm not usually a burger person, but after a day of hiking and ziplining, I thought I "deserved" the extra calories and every delicious bite was worth it. All of the people in our party had the same thing, so I can't speak to the quality of their other food The ambiance/location is nothing special, but oh, well.

Eric C.

Great off the menu hamburger that is 50/50 ground pork/beef. Excellent toppings and crisp fries. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. We ate an early dinner and the service was fine.

Brad K.

Oh sooo good. Burger with local beef and pig, pork belly and bun is from a local bakery. Good brews too!

Great breakfast place at reasonable prices. Friendly and attentive service. An easy walk from Marriott, where breakfast is double the price.

Jae C.

This place was tremendous! We really enjoyed the legendary feral burger, which has a patty made of half ground beef, half slow-cooked pork and also features a pork belly. Solid service, reasonable wait time, and decent value for the island. We recommend this to everyone.

Sammy G.

Flew into Lihue late on a Friday afternoon and after unpacking at the mediocre Marriott across the street, we decided to give the Feral Pig a try. My guy had the fish tacos which he liked, our friend raved about the Poke, and I had Fish and Chips. I don't usually eat fried food, but the Fish tacos option was taken (I try not to copy others at the table, lol). The fish was quite tasty and the batter not overpowering. Lots of fries, but plenty of fish as well. For the price (about $35 for the 3 of us, including a beer apiece), after flying 7.5 hours, it was just fine. Certainly more for the money than if we had eaten at the Marriott.....though ambience is lacking...even on the patio.

Just happened on this small pub/restaurant while on a visit to Nawiliwili which is a small town outside of Lihue, Hi on the island of Kauai. We went to the toy/hobby store next door prior to going to this pub and the worker there told us to try them out. He said that they have a burger (not on the menu) that is fantastic. So I and my party of 3 went to the pub. It is in transition as it appeared they are trying to improve on the decore. The prior restaurant at this location was a Tiki Bar. We had a variety of foods. I ordered the Guinness Chicken wings (mouth burning, lip numbing spicy) and the Shrimp Cilantro wontons (YUM). My husband had the burger (The Feral Burger) which was a combination of Kalua Pork and Island Ground Beef, grilled to perfection and covered with cheddar cheese and home cured bacon. It came with your choice of soup (clam chowder not that great, a bit too much potato starch), salad or fries. Our friends got Fish and Chips (coating too doughey) and the special fish of the day which was Grilled Ono it came with garlic mashed potatoes and a side salad. The house made lime vinegrette was good. There were no major complaints and I must say, the burger was delicious. They had a very good bar with great beer selections, soft drinks and non alcohol beverages. It is a sports type pub with TV's all over. They need to improve their ventilation also. I will defiitely go there again. Hopefully the decor will match the pub theme.

Jeff G.

Ask for the feral burger, half beef, half pork shoulder..topped with pig belly. Fries were crispy and awesome, exactly what you'd expect at a good burger joint. We went at mid afternoon so got a table right away and were in and out in 20. Very casual. No Amex.
(4)
Katelyn R.

good food, fair prices, meals come out fast and very friendly staff - all the right ingredients for me! The loco moco was a little bland, yet filling. Husband had banana bread French toast that he just raved about. Great alternative to resort food. Waitress killed roach in front of us :)

JJ N.

Friendly staff, good french toast. Not alot of beer selection on tap for a pub? Good spot for breakfast.

Andrew G.

Okay. I'm hesitant to give five stars to anything. It's like when I'm taking a corporate survey online where the choices range from highly satisfied to highly dissatisfied and I think, "am I truly 'highly satisfied' about anything they offer?" Let alone anything at all? What, indeed, does it take to be "highly satisfied"? Well, it begins with house-made ranch. And it ends with house-made orgeat. Indeed, if Dave, the owner-slash-"wizard" bartender, can see that you appreciate attention to detail and fine cocktails, you might find available to you specialty, albeit more modern, beverages not on the menu--though one cannot go wrong with his authentic, "classic" cocktails. They're classic for a reason and that's why they shouldn't be messed with. So Dave endeavors to closely recreate the classics, and that includes featuring Victor Bergron's original mai tai, not the bastardized commercial versions that have been adapted and cheapened with time. But of course the drink menu is only one flank of the battle, so a note about the cuisine might be beneficial. It's all very good. Look. There are a some heavier flavor notes here and there. Breakfast definitely leans toward the "comfort" side of preparation, but then how else should one expect eggs, hash browns, and ham? How else might one take their Loco Moco, a favorite in Hawaii that features rice, an egg, hamburger, and gravy covering the whole presentation? The answer to the question is: "As local as possible." Owner Dave Power strives to source as much as he can from Kauai proper and the Hawaiian islands. That means local greens, local beef, and, of course, local fish. Of course, some things come from the mainland. Federal regulations virtually prohibit small-scale, natural poultry processing, so chicken comes from California, despite the ubiquity of the island's iconic feral chicken population. And economically speaking, some things are just cheaper to buy from the contiguous 48, even shipped oversea. But the proprietors at The Feral Pig do the best they can. And it shows. And, for those in the area, say at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club a few hundred yards away, the food is infinitely better and less expensive. While the food at the hotel was consistent adequate, their beach was seriously awesome. That simply meant I was content with not driving too far out of my way on this vacation. Thankfully, I had The Feral Pig to nourish me. So where to start? I reckon I ate here a half-dozen times during my week on the island. Breakfast: I believe the Loco Moco needs to be experienced if in the area of Hawaii. The Feral Pig does it superbly. I didn't specify a temperature on the hamburger patty, suggesting the cook prepare it the way he or she felt it should be, but wish I had gone with my preference of medium rare since it arrived well done. That said, the gravy was flavorful and rich without tasting artificial. I admit to recoiling from commercial gravies inevitably processed with monosodium glutamate. The alternative is a gravy that is often buttery and smooth, and not too salty. So it was. I was very content to add a little Cholula to my Loco Moco. Lunch: The Feral Pig's house-made kalua pork dishes did not disappoint. Of course, their fries, spot-on and best served with their homemade ranch, made for a perfect accompaniment, and their influence on the overall dish can not be dismissed. The Feral Pig's fries are absolutely first-rate, thinly cut and dark and crispy on the outside. I would love to see the proprietors take on homemade, fermented ketchup, but Heinz has won the day for now. Only four months in business, I can forgive them the traditional Heinz, though I might encourage their organic line, which at least sheds the corn syrup. I know. Sugar is sugar. But my girlfriend is allergic to corn and all its derivatives. Plus subsidizing American corn farmers for food derivatives and fuel byproducts has not proven the most effective global strategy, and as far as I'm concerned wrecked the corn economy in Mexico and helped spur the influx of displaced farmer Mexican citizens into America in search of work. Probably more to it than that. Lunch for dinner: BÃ¡nh mÃ¬. I'd never had it but I have a special place in my heart for pork belly. Throw in a little pÃ¢tÃ© and, yes, you've got yourself a very, very rich dish. While an abundance of fresh cilantro nicely countered the fatty goodness of this sandwich, the acid from my perfectly mixed beverage deserves equal credit for completing this meal. Dinner: Pork whether smoked or marinated, the chops were not overdone and well presented. And the portions were large. The Cobb salad was a lovely presentation of specifically local greens and produce, though I opted for a seared ahi over the chicken, as well as a lime vinaigrette. The server brought a "less-tart" apple vinaigrette as well, and both were brilliant. All things considered having run out of allowable characters? Highly satisfied. It's a rare treat.

They have good beer, burgers, and service. We had the cobb salad and the burger special. It had pork belly, burger, cheese, and all the fixings on it. Delicious! The service was also great. Definitely try their local beers.

Heather M.

I'm going to try to make this short. Waited way too long for the waitress to show up, one water to share for two people, no silverware ( had to take from another table). Door to outside open (it's raining). Fish tacos...where's the fish? By the time we were ready to leave we were the only table left in the restaurant, people were sweeping up..right next to us....took too long to recieve bill....and that's how we found out the waitresses name , she never bothered to introduce herself. I am giving two stars because the burger was acceptable, the coffee hot, and the bus person plesant. We won't discuss the fries, ugh!
(2)
Shelley P.

Three stars because I had to knock off two because of their attitude...six of my coworkers all enjoyed their feral burger, ground beef and smoked pork, cheddar, grilled onions and pork belly. Two of us opted for the 100% Kauai ground beef burger with, cheddar, bacon, mushrooms and avocado, for an additional $1 per item. The problem was there was no avo in our burger, and they charged us for it. When I called, the girl said, "maybe the kitchen ran out and didn't tell us." then she passed me on to the manager. His response was, "what do you want me to do about it." I told him that I just wanted to let him know. Then he said, are you going to eat here again? He was pretty abrupt. The conclusion is that he said next time we order to tell them to tell Scott about the avocado and we'll get a discount. Do you think we're going to say that? I don't think so...

We decided to check out The Feral Pig for breakfast on a Sunday morning. They had some great advertised specials and the atmosphere was bright and welcoming. This is where the positives end. After we ordered our breakfast and drinks, we waited and waited and waited. Our breakfast finally arrived, very cold and unappetising and we still hadn't gotten our drinks (which btw, were a cup of coffee and a strawberry smoothie). The food might have been good if it was warm, but we will never know, as this is not a place we plan to return.

Eva K.

My family has owned a timeshare in Kauai for over 15 years, and only last year did we find the GEM that is Feral Pig! We were a group of 6.. The guys all had the Feral Pig burger with the Lihue Lager, and us three girls had a different plate (I had the Cubano sandwich one day, and the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and pickles the next time we went), with the ginger lemonade. We are from LA, total foodies, and have had our fair share of bad food.. So we know good food when we have it. Everyone was FLOORED at how AMAZING the food was at Feral Pig!! BOTH times we went!! The guys can't even talk while they're eating, because they're just so into it.. And the girls rarely have leftovers. The ginger lemonade is probably the best I've ever had. This place has gotten bad reviews, and I can't even believe why. This is a stop we will be making EVERY time we are on the island from now on. Go and taste for yourself!!

Great breakfast to start the day! Prompt and courteous service, and a tasty Bloody Mary! Try the breakfast burrito!

I am reviewing the Feral Pig for its breakfasts, of which I had 5 during my week's stay In Kauai. It's located where the former "Tiki Room" used to be on the first floor of the Harbor Mall on Rice Street. I tried the Tiki Moco - a local breakfast with kalua pork, 2 eggs, rice and brown (homemade) gravy. It was delicious, very filling and reasonable in price. I also enjoyed their weekend eggs benedict special, their loco moco (with ground beef patty instead of pork) and their breakfast burrito. The staff for the most part was retained from the previous two restaurants in that location and the new owners (Scott and Dave) are working hard to offer local, reasonably priced, delicious food with the emphasis on customer service. Their menu also offers small plates, salads, sandwiches/burgers and large plates ranging from $5 to $20. It may not have a view of the beach, but the food can't be beat.

It was my first time going to The Feral Pig, desite the weird name, I figured I'd give it a try just as I did with the previous restaurant that was there, The Tiki Room. As we entered, we looked over the posted menu...I already knew what I was going to try which was the Sloppy Kalapaki, which was described as pulled pork mixed in BBQ sauce and cole slaw on the side, I thought I was better off staying safe because who could really mess that up. I was definitely in for a surprise...As we got seated we were handed the menu again...I was still determined to try the Sloppy Kalapaki and my boyfriend ordered a burger with a fried egg and bacon. It wasn't too long of a wait, seeing that they weren't very busy with only 2 other tables and one person at the bar. When the lady delivered our food the first thing that caught our eyes were the weird, dark, soggy looking fries. I was guessing that they were suppose to be those nice straight, shoe string type of fries but I had no idea what happened to them. They were even worse in taste, even after adding ketchup. Moving on to my sandwich...I confidently took a bite thinking this is going to be good but I should have read the other warning on Yelp about the Sloppy Kalapaki :( I found out the hard way when immediately after chewing I tasted an extremely acidy taste which drowned out the pork and BBQ sauce flavor. I literally almost spit it out because it was that sour/acidy. Then I saw it...these weird small ball thingys which I found out later to be their homemade mustard, BLEHK! The waitor suggested that next time I ask for it on the side!! I was forced to choke down the bite and drown myself in water and soggy fries to get rid of the acidy feeling left in my mouth. I tried to salvage my meal by scraping as much of the "mustard" out of my sandwich and asking for more BBQ sauce. When I received the sauce I definitely noticed the difference in taste from the supposed "BBQ" sauce already used in the sandwich which had a more tomato flavor to the more bottled-store bough BBQ sauce...WTF? Well I managed to save my meal but I was very disappointed. Atleast my boyfriend enjoyed his burger which when I tasted I tought it was pretty mediocre. I would atleast thing since this place is called The Feral PIG, they would atleast specialize in their pork dishes rather than lame ordinary meals. After about half an hour of eating, my tummy was not liking what I forced it to digest, I left with a "burnt" mouth, disappointment, and a sore tummy. I don't think I'll be going back :(((

They catered the breakfast after the 10K I ran: Old Koloa Sugar Mill Run. We had breakfast burritos. It hit the spot after that long, beautiful run.

Great place for breakfast when you are hungry. The place was packed, but the servers managed to keep up. Food was delivered hot and cooked nicely. The only drawback: $3 for a cup of coffee. Waitress said it was "bottomless" but it still seemed high.

Great pupu calimari best we've had I want more -- killer Wasabi sauce. Also had the ahi tacos, yummy. This restaurant should be full all the time, people just don't know about it yet, books are not writing about it, resorts are not talking about it. We have eaten a ton of places in Kauai and it is well worth a visit, or two. We tried calimari at 5 places this trip, no one was even close to The Feral Pig. No happy hour but none needed, prices are really reasonable, servings large.

Good menu, great cocktails, super close to Marriot resort. Ambience leaves a little to be desired...but they just opened so hopefully that will come soon.

Cool spot for an out of towner escaping tourist traps looking for local spot with good drinks and good dishes. Great daily special items and local beers on tap.

Although this place is convenient for anyone staying at the Marriott in Lihue (or Banyan Harbor etc), I would recommend Kalapaki Joe's over this restaurant. The service is rather lackluster. There were at least 3 available servers in addition to the bartenders; but they seemed more interested in how they looked to the male diners over any other duties. In the time it took us to be seated and receive our drink orders (15 minutes), two parties of people left. Either the menu or lack of attention drove them upstairs to eat at the Mexican restaurant or Kalapaki joe's. We had a burger and the fish tacos (the standard order during this vacation) and the prices were high in comparison to the ratio of food that was delivered. The burger was a little over done (the adult and kiddie version). The tacos were $10 for two street taco sized portions. Throughout my stay in Kauai, the typical cost for two full taco sized portions ranged $12-$15. The fish tacos at The Feral Pig were less than 2oz total. The fish was also overdone. Karma bit me in the arse with this fish taco meal. Here I was complaining all week for $12-$15 tacos...but after this, THOSE WERE A BARGAIN for some good eats!

Had a GREAT breakfast here. Much better now than when it was Tiki Room. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed. Avoid it on cruise ship days as its pretty busy.

My wife and I went down to have burger and hand cut fries. You know the kine of fry you eat at the bottom of the bag, the good crispy kind. Yea that's it. The burger made with fresh local grass fed beef yummy and on a fresh baked taro bun that will rock your socks. They work hard at providing the best food at good prices too! Did I mention the shrimp, dish, I don't know what the last review was about but that shrimp dish is a must. Try it, don't listen to someone who had a bad experience, usually that's there fault anyway. The shrimp is local grown, on Kauai, simply sauteed with butter salt and pepper, the best I ever had. Yes the game is on there too, big screens TV. Yes it's a must.

I live in the Dallas area and I am used to a large selection among restaurants and a lot of competition for my dollar. So while Kauai is outstanding in so many ways, I am usually disappointed in the quality of food/price paid in Kauai. We stopped here for dinner after an active day and it was a pleasant exception. We ordered the Pupu Platter, which was average. The wings were OK, wontons about what you would expect and they serve big chunks of calamari instead of rings. The only interesting part (to me) was the wasabi dipping sauce, which was one of three sauces (ranch and a tomato sauce the other two). For entrees we had a club sandwich, fish tacos and philly cheesesteak. All three were excellent as well as the sides. We left feeling full and happy. Price was a pleasant change as well. We had 3 non-alcoholic drinks, 2 alcoholic drinks, the most expensive appetizer and 3 entrees for $67 - which is a decent value even in Dallas and a real surprise here where I've ended up paying $40 for three cold sandwiches at some of the local places.

Well my bf & I wanted to try something new for breakfast. Since we live here and always pass this place on our way home, we thought we'd give it a try. When we walked in the door, we were greeted by the bartender and that was cool! So I'm having a great feeling about tho place and told us that we just go ahead and have a seat and so we did. Got our drinks and the menu, waited for atleast 15 mins for utensils and the waitress to come and take our orders. When the waitress came first thing she said to us wasn't hi and her name, but that she was having an off day. WOW! I understand it was getting pretty busy at that time,but you don't tell that to your customers! we waited another 20 -25 mins for our food to come to us and when it did it was super cold. My bf said just eat so we can go. Waited another 20-25 mins to get our tab and another 10 mins to get cashed out. At the end the bartender kinda had a feeling that something was wrong when he asked us how was everything and we just told him that it was okay. I certainly will not be returning there! Slow service, cold food, and the waitress we had needs to go to customer service school to change her attitude!

Wow, this place is terrible. I was on my honeymoon and staying at the Marriott across the street. My fiancee and I were a little tired of eating fish for every meal, so we decided to check out this place. The menu on the door seemed enticing - a nice variety of pub foods. However, the food was horrible and the service was pretty bad. We ordered a shrimp appetizer that the waitress said came with four pieces of shrimp and was cooked in a certain type of sauce. When it was served, it was only three pieces of shrimp and there was no sauce. When we asked about it, she said, "oh well, it USUALLY comes with four pieces. Sorry." Wtf?! The beers were warm, too. Then, when I got my entree, fish and chips, I actually burst out laughing - the plate was literally 90% french fries and the fish fillets were so small you could hardly see them. The fillets were soggy as well. I would definitely not return to this place. Very disappointing.

I don't know what others who have written a positive review of this place got or what their taste buds must be like, but my wife and I went two Sundays ago (March 18) based on those reviews and found the restaurant lacking in pretty much every category. The Cuban sandwich was typical of traditional Cuban and Peruvian food where the cooks attempt to extract all flavors from the food before it is served. The sandwich was tasteless, including the homemade pickles, which were nothing more than wet cucumbers. To say this was by far the worst restaurant food I have had in a long time would be an understatement. My wife experienced the same with her food. One of the reviews brought up the fact that for the mai tai cocktail, the restaurant makes its own orgeat syrup (who would do that?). There is probably a reason they should not. It destroyed one of the all time Hawaiian classics. Add to this that 2 waitresses could not handle 4 tables with a total of 11 people. The pace and nature of the service was such that I will never return again to this restaurant. Missed the boat on all accounts.

Food here is great, but every other Sunday they have a tremendously fun Irish band called "Whiskey-O"! You have to check them out. We heard them last year and made a point of hitting their appearance again. Sing along, or just enjoy.

I'm always surprised when I read great reviews for a place and it turns out to be anything but... But nothings worse than convincing your wife to try a place only to be proven an idiot by the choice. Nice! We had really hoped for a great breakfast away from the resort zone at the nearby Marriott- and based on others' reviews thought this was a good bet. But probably shoulda stayed in the hotel! First, having weak, watery, bland coffee in Hawaii should be a crime. Second, if you send eggs back for being waaaaay undercooked, don't send another batch of runny eggs in their place. I did enjoy the banana-macadamia nut pancakes but they honestly weren't that special. Just plain pancakes with sliced bananas and nuts on top. I coulda made that at home.... in fact I think I will! So what's with the glowing reviews? Was the chef on vacation? Do people have no sense of taste? Whatever the reason, with all the great food on the islands, we will not be returning to this place.

The Feral burger is amazing. Kalua pork is very good. I just had the loco moco for breakfast and am hooked. I will be back on my next trip to Kauai

Saw the reviews on Yelp and knew we had to try this restaurant/pub/diner. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was served in a timely manner. I had the Feral burger, which was pretty darn tasty, juicy, and cooked just right. My husband had the fish and chips. He thought the fish was o.k., but not the best he has had on the island. We both LOVED the French fries, quite possible the best we have ever had. We were a little disappointed we couldn't order a Coors light, but made do with a really cold Longboard served in a frosted glass. Would definitely come back, just for the fries!

We wanted to love this place but alas it was not to be. Our server was good at taking the order but not bringing it. 10 minutes for a club soda and glass of wine :( when the food came it was warm at best and the amazing fries were soggy/cold/greasy. Fail!

Pretty decent breakfast. I enjoyed the homemade sausage and other meaty items. They try to use all locally grown materials and from sustainable producers. The location was convenient and the prices reflected the convenience and commitment to support the local growers.

Their special beef and pork sliders or burger is great. The fish and chips and the pulled pork sandwich so- so. A lot of people enjoying the local brews but we aren't beer drinkers so can't speak to it personally. Stick with the burger.

Kristina B.

We found this place at the end of our honeymoon and were so disappointed we didnt find it earlier!! We would have definitely visited multiple times if we would have been there longer! We split the feral burger and the cubano, hands down the best cubano we've ever had and the burger was AMAZING! The waitress was fun and very friendly. Great service! Great beer selections with local beers to choose from. Eating here is a must during your trip!
(5)
Ryan M.

The Feral Burger was phenomenal! I cannot recommend it enough. My group also had breakfast here which was great as well. I had a beermosa (beer + orange juice) which was actually much better than you'd think... very refreshing. If you go here for lunch/dinner, get The Feral Burger. If you like burgers and pork, you won't be disappointed!
(5)
Courtney S.

Friend recommended this place to us as a place to eat lunch before heading to airport. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to be disappointed. Nothing on the menu stuck out to me and we just finally decided on the Feral burger because we couldn't make up our mind. Burger came with a side salad which had a lime vinaigrette. It was not good. The burger was pretty decent. The clam chowder was the show stopper though. It was delicious I'm sad we wasted our last meal in Kauai at this place :(

Denton E.

During our week-long visit to Kauai (staying in Lihue) we ended up eating / drinking here four times, and it ended up being our favorite spot on this side of the island. The Good: Great local beer selection, outstanding cocktails, and the owner's (mostly) locally sourced food philosophy. We had the "burger that's not on the menu" and as a guy who considers himself a burger connoisseur, I have to say it was one of my all-time favorites. The banana-macadamia nut pancakes were good too. If you're lucky enough to be served by 'Cisco, you'll get fast friendly service with a smile. The Bad: The name is so cool you expect some quirky decor, but it's pretty bare and basic inside. Also, the outdoor seating is spare and the views are limited pretty much to the parking lot and the road. The Ugly: Aside from Cisco, and the bartenders the service is very sub-par. While I realize it's hard to find good help on the island, there have to be people out there willing to wait tables that have more personality than a fence post and the ability to multi-task or at least apologize for their failures.

We wandered in here when we were exploring the off resort area close to the Kaua'i Marriott at Nawilliwilli. We were jet lagged, up before sunrise and hungry. The Feral Pic did not disappoint. Great breakfast food, good coffee. Even better than the food was the staff. They were all super friendly, and our server Rachel gave us a list of things to do around the island that were off beat. Needless to say, we came back, like 4 more times on our trip. Here's a good tip: Get the Feral Burger. (Its off menu & amazing)

Jeff M.

Only had breakfast there - that was enough. Based on the other reviews, I have to assume that my experience was an anomaly or just limited to the breakfast side. First, the wait was very long even though the place was half empty. Next my order was delivered to the wrong person so I had to wait for a new order while my spouse ate hers. The server was apologetic but didn't go so far as to comp anything - hey, you're on Kauai, you should be happy with whatever you get and pleased to overpay right? When I did get my food, the potatoes were pretty sad: greasy and unappealing. I never went back so I can't comment on their lunch/dinner.

The Feral Burger (half pork, half beef patty with grilled onions and house made smoked pork belly with a thick slice of cheddar) isn't on the menu - but you need to order it. Exceptional burger. Great waitstaff and fun atmosphere. A+.

I came here on a Wednesday night and made a reservation, although it was not necessary. Restaurant was pretty empty. I ordered the fish tacos. They were good. Not great, not bad. Fast and friendly service.

Love this place! The proximity to the airport makes it a great place to chill before catching a flight. The drinks are hand crafted works of art and the food is super delicious with fresh and local ingredients. Every Sunday afternoon they have live music which I was lucky enough to recently catch. The regulars are friendly and the staff even more so. Can't wait for my next visit!

OMG, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. I think they are about ready to go out of business. I went there today for lunch and ordered the fish tacos. When my order came, I received two fish tacos and salad. ( I hope I can explain graphically enough about what I received for lunch, because I did not think to take a picture.... ) Anyway, got my plate with two tacos. They were served open faced and on each of the tortillas was one teeny little piece of grilled fish no bigger than 1 1/2 inches long and less than a 1/2 wide on each taco and there was only one of those pieces on each taco. there was a few pieces of cabbage on each tortilla and two cherry tomatoes (cut in half) on each of the tacos...). Anyway, I took one bite of one taco and that ended the one piece of fish. I took the other piece of fish and put it on the first piece of taco and took a second bite and I was done with my taco (with lots of tortilla left).. Certainly not worth the $13.00 they were charging. When the waitress finally came by, I asked her if this was a joke about the amount of fish that they served. (She obviously was aware because she couldn't answer my question).. She went in the back and came back and told me that the chef says that it is customary to serve 1 oz of fish (for two fish tacos!!!) and that even the chef admitted that they had not given me even 1 oz of fish.. They did not charge me the full price of the plate, but they did charge me $4.00 for one taco! I can only assume they are catering to tourists in Kauai who they know will never return a second time. I, am a resident in Kauai and will never go back again and I encourage anyone who reads this review to not go there!

My sister and I love Eggs Benedict. When we ordered, We were prepared to get a thin slice of Canadian bacon and boy were we surprised! They make their own in house and it was delicious and filling! My husband ordered French toast and loved it so much that he ordered another side portion. Robert, our waiter, was very attentive and fun! Their Cobb salad is yummy and filling! I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Went here on a Saturday evening around 7pm. Should've known to turn around when I saw approximately 4 people in the entire restaurant. Maybe this place is completely different in the morning, but I cannot understand how anyone can give this place more than 1 star. Once seated we were no longer confident in the establishment's ability to provide satisfactory food. So we decided to nibble on some appetizers and take off. We ordered the pupu platter (fried calamari, chicken wings, wontons) and the charcuterie plate. Fried food and cured meat with a baguette, should be quick, we thought. WRONG. These two appetizers took TWENTY minutes to make it to our table. Then the waitress tells us that "the wontons aren't available right now so we gave you extra calamari". Uh... thanks for the heads up. What if I ordered the pupu platter because I wanted to eat some wontons?? It didn't help that the calamari was way too thick and the fried batter was falling off in chunks and slightly soggy. On the cured meat platter, the baguette was the best tasting item. Too bad they only gave us like 5 small slices of the baguette that probably came from the nearest Safeway.

If you are feeling a little feral......... then this is the place! haha! drove by a number of times and finally stopped in. Sat at the bar. shocker right?!?! had a few big swell IPA's from Maui Brewing Company and ordered the "burger thats not on the menu but should be". House smoked pork butt, shredded and mixed with kauai ground beef. topped with carmelized onions, house cured and smoked pork belly, cajun aioli in a taro bun. Served with house cut fries. then watched the bartender make some crazy cocktails. sazerac? side cars? who makes those anymore!?! then there was the mai tai. they should really change the name to " The Process". Fresh squeezed lime juice (to order), housemade orgeat (WHO DOES THAT!?!), crushed ice to order (yup, like put it in a canvas bag and beat the crap out of it with a baseball bat.... yep. a baseball bat) then add Matuselum rum and a dark rum float. Would definetly go back. Laid back staff and setting. enjoy!

Though I've heard of this place and passed it a bunch, I've never stopped in. My husband and I were in the area for breakfast one day and decided to try it. I got a simple breakfast. Eggs, homemade sausage patties and papaya. I was told the sausage patties were really good, so I was excited. They tasted...fresh and ungreasy, but didn't have much flavor. I think I would get them again for some reason. Seems like a "healthier" option than spam maybe? Anyway, cool atmosphere and friendly staff. I might return for lunch or dinner someday.

We drove by this place and saw "Feral Pig" and just had to try it based on the name alone. Gotta say this is some of the best food we have had on the island. My wife had the Feral Burger (mostly Kaua'i raised beef with some pork added to it) at one point she said, "Can't talk, my mouth is full of awesome". I had the Jamaican Jerked Chicken. This is the best Jamaican Jerked Chicken I have ever had. Very spicy which in my book makes it good. The fries were delicious. Apparently, it takes them 3 days in a long drawn out process, but whatever it is, makes em TASTY. The owner Dave was moving about the restaurant and checking on people. He is definitely a beer lover. He recommended some very very good beers they have on tap. We are headed back there for breakfast before we leave.

Kevin B.

Very good, thoughtfully produced breakfast. While the breakfast I had, by mere description, was fairly pedestrian (eggs, toast, Portuguese sausage) and a Bloody Mary, the quality of ingredients and preparation were top notch. Caught a glimpse of their dinner menu, which looked amazing. I'm a big fan of locally-sourced food, and house-made products. Looks like they're doing it right, and with an edgy vibe. DEFINITELY will return for dinner next time on Kauai.

Robb G.

Wife had Tiki Moco and I had SPAM eggs and rice. The banana smoothy was amazing and the ginger lemonade was one of the tastiest non alcoholic drink I have ever had. This place is amazing and I have been here twice in three days and will go more before I leave. I need to nail back that Feral burger before I leave.

Linda B.

Great for lunch but don't go if you're dieting. This food was meant to be drip down the arm type of good. I was not disappointed. I had the Feral Tacos and my husband had the Feral Burger. We're going back again we come to the island.

Theresa K.

Seems like we kept hearing the name mentioned over and over. Tonight was the night...we went to give it a try. It was wonderful. I would like to tell you that we tried a couple of different things, but we didn't. Two pulled pork sandwiches with fries...wow, I think it was the absolute best pulled pork sandwich I have ever eaten. I had a glass of some new beer they were pouring and it was great ( could have been colder). Our waitress was funny and did a super job. We will definitely be going back.

Mercedes K.

Awful food. Absolutely inexcusably awful. My pork and cabbage was, at least, tasteless. My husband's pork scallopini and "homemade" noodles was revolting. The noodles seemed pre-digested. Do they ever taste what they cook? They should be ashamed. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Blech. Yuck.

Okay, you may THINK you've had the best clam chowder in your life. You may even KNOW it, in the same way you knew there was a monster in your closet no matter what your mom said. Well, just like with the monster (I hope), you're wrong. This clam chowder deserves odes, far beyond my ability to compose or create. Yes, it IS that good. Pair that with some cheery, live, Irish tunes. Add an attentive and witty staff. You've got yourself a great afternoon!

I'm going with 5 stars after breakfast this morning... Edison, you made it special! Wife and I are on day 4 of our honeymoon, and after two days of hotel breakfast, it was time to branch out and try the local grind. Saw the Feral when I was planning the trip. We were there last night for late lunch, and really enjoyed what we had. The server was friendly, and happened to be from Oregon too! Wife had Feral tacos, and I had the Kauai-cubano. Her tacos are to die for. A combo of fatty, succulent pork belly, roast pork, and beef, with their secret aioli, guacamole, and something green. Lettuce? Who cares. Tacos came with a side salad, made with local greens, tomatoes, and cabbage. Talk about tacos. Better than my sandwich. This Kauai variation on the classic Cuban sandwich had pork belly instead of ham, and Kalua pig instead of the normal roast shoulder. The bun was a buttery toasted flavor vehicle, but if it's supposed to have taro in it, you'd never know. I will say it is probably the softest, and yet most durable roll for a Cuban I've ever had. The meats were of good quality, though I did have some issue tearing through the pork belly with my teeth. They were also fairly thin slices, but they were not over cooked. A deft hand in the kitchen for sure there. The pickles could have used a bit more punch to offset the rich pork, and I couldn't really tell the mustard was present except for the bits squishing out the side. Sandwich was $12 a la carte. For $3 more, I got some house made Taro chips. Tasty, well fried, maybe a little light on the salt... Bump the price to $13.50 (I'll split the difference with ya) and include the sides and I'd be happy. Came back this morning for breakfast. Now, I will say I was a little bummed to find out the Bloody Mary with the bacon wrapped shrimp and slider was no longer available, but since I learned of that last night, I wasn't too upset. Like I said at the start, if you are lucky to have Edison as your server, he won't steer you wrong. Course we were both set on Mocos from the start, and we both wanted the Feral Moco. When in Kauai... When the feral Moco comes out, it is totally a brown on brown on brown pile, but don't judge a dish by its lack of color... The feral patty (a blend of pork belly and Kauai beef) is as full of flavor as you can ask for in a ground patty. Top that with caramelized onions (see honey, there was a vegetable present), cheese and my perfectly cooked over easy eggs and you're only half way there. A Moco wouldn't be complete without rice, and the feral does theirs with fried rice. Simple, not overly seasoned, just the right portion of rice to suck up the meat juice, gravy, runny yolk, and make you feel full. Oh yeah, gravy... I could swim in it. Delicious. Highly seasoned, maybe even a little too salty, but not heavy American sausage white gravy. Gave everything a bright shine, and the little bit of sauce this dish needed. Well done Feral Pig, may you have many more successful years so we can return for a visit!

Last meal in Kauai before headed to the airport. Checked the Yelpers and saw this would be the perfect place to hang on way out of town. Friendly service, not crowded when we went, but then it was early and pouring rain. Seemed like mostly after work locals. Our party had: Seared Ahi salad- to die for. There was a nice spicy crust and then perfectly pink meat. Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich, also good but not as good as the one I had at 9th Island. The fish was a bit overcooked and therefore tough. Flavor was nice and the crunch of a dry cole slaw on the sandwich was refreshing. Taro chips, fresh made, huge thin and crispy chips. Better than potato chips.

Through one of our honeymoon tours in Kauai, we were told not to miss the Feral Pig. The tour guide told us that they had the best burgers on the island AND the coldest beer. That was all I needed to hear, so we headed south and found a table. Parking is confusing, I entered the north parking lot through the exit only and finally found the designated lot. There's a kiosk to get a lot ticket but nobody to collect them which I considered strange. Once parked, we entered the business complex and stumbled around until we found the pig. When we arrived, we were one of two parties in the entire place, but it still took us 15 minutes to get menus and water. Once our waiter found us, he stammered around the menu until he admitted it was his second day and really didn't know the answers to our clarifying menu questions. We started with some brews which were definitely cold but I would hesitate to say were the coldest on the island. The feral sliders and feral tacos were our meal choices, and we had both the fries and the taro chips. The tacos were much better than the sliders, and the chips were much better than the fries. The sliders had pork belly which was exceedingly fatty and were claimed to be on a toasted taro bun but the bun tasted like any regular thing. The taro chips were easily the best thing we ate, toasty and salty, but coming all this way just for chips is probably a waste of time. Prices are higher than I thought was reasonable for the portions, but kudos to them for pushing the envelope with branching into the foodie scene while still incorporating local flavors. I'd love to see them add more authentic taro and possibly island fruits to the bbq and pulled pork. Otherwise, slightly above average, for a notable above average price.

The loco moco was meh, but hubby liked his. Although he said it was nothing to write home about. Service was prompt and cordial, but definitely not exceptional. Dude was a little distracted, I think. The music (if you can call it that) when we walked in was horrid! However, it mellowed to something more amenable. All in all, it wasn't the worst or the best place we've ever eaten, but it did the job...

Our first meal in Hawaii! It is a few minutes from the airport in Lihue, so it's pretty convenient whether you're coming or going. This place was actually recommended by locals the first time we were here, so I'm happy we finally got to check it out. We shared the braised pork belly appetizer. It was amazing, by the way, but how can it be otherwise, ever?! For me, I ordered the fish tacos and for him, the kalua pork.

Came in for lunch on Sunday. Our server took our order very quickly and was really friendly but our food took a while to come out. The feral tacos were good, decent size portion. The fish sandwich was good; the fries would have been great if they were hot (they're cut thin with skin on and are crispy). The small plate chicken wings were dry and pretty bland, as were the sautÃ©ed veggies on the side. There was a table of locals whose server seemed to know, and they were having a great conversation, so attitude is definitely a positive one here. But overall, just an okay meal, especially for $45 for 3 people.

Loved this spot and found it after wandering outside our hotel (Kauai Marriott) - it's a few minutes walk and is an unassuming spot. When we sat down we were greeted by Eddie (his first week on the job) and he was a true delight. His attentiveness and eagerness to please made our whole experience even better. I am GF and can't do dairy so breakfast options are sometimes limited, however this spot had freshly made omelettes and many other choices. The coffee is average however he kept the cups full. My honey had the banana and macadamia nut pancake (I mean seriously if I wasn't GF I would have ordered 10 of these... they were insanely good, I only had a mouthful but it had warm bananas and really fresh macadamia nuts inside and on top). He also ordered the eggs benedict with the fish of the day blackened (interesting breakfast choice but he really enjoyed it). I had the vegetable omelette (with no peppers) and it was filled with mushrooms, kale and tomato) with the hash brown - really huge and delish. I highly recommend this spot and we will return before our time in Kauai.

Came here for breakfast twice while on our trip to kauai! We were staying at the Marriot and everything is ridiculously priced, so we ventured over here hopeful for good food! My husband is a moco loco fanatic and the tiki loco did not disappoint. He practically licked his bowl at the end. I had the blackened ahi tuna eggs Benedict and it was amazing. One of the best hollandaise sauces I've ever had - delicious. Even when busy and understaffed this place found a way to have great service and took great care of us. Our fav food while in kauai for sure! We will be back. :)

My pork sandwich was good. The bread was awesome. However, where's the pork? For $12 this was a bit underwhelming :( My wife's fish sandwich was wonderful but pricy at $14. They definitely use fresh veggies as the tomato on the sand which was fabulous. The kiddos were happy with their choices. Overall, decent food but spendy for what you get.

NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN! Upon entering my girlfriends and I were greeted by a woman behind the bar. We were told to seat ourselves. It was not a full house and there were only three tables occupied... So we chose to sit on a table that was interior but roadside. The woman behind the bar came by and flew some menus on our table in a pile, some were upside down, with no water, or mention of any specials. A few minutes pass and another party enters and sits on an adjacent table. They are promptly greeted and quickly served water by the same woman who was behind the bar when we entered. By this time, this waitress/woman has walked pass our table about 4 times and never acknowledged our presence since giving us menus... And we still don't have water. So we wait. The waitress walks by yet again and asks the adjacent table (who came in after us) for their order. UNBELIEVABLE!!! At this point it is very clear to us that TOURIST ARE TREATED WITH A PRIORITY AND THAT LOCAL LOOKING CUSTOMERS GET SUBPAR SERVICE, IF ANY AT ALL. It's a pity as we heard good things about the food but the service was so offensive we left. Sad to say I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone... Tourist OR Local!

This was our first stop on Kauai. We flew into a nasty storm, one that locals said they hadn't seen in years. We were hungry and thirsty and this was right by our hotel. Our server was very friendly. I ordered their special drink which was ginger lemonade. It was very refreshing and really hit the spot after our flight! My hubby ordered the Feral Pig burger, which was a blend of pork, beef with pork belly. He enjoyed it. I had the Feral Tacos, which were fresh corn tortillas with pork, beef and pork belly, along with a fresh salad. We really liked the freshness of all of our food. Both of our meals came with a special sauce which we really didn't like but in general our meals were great.

Really a great experience! Stopped for lunch after a long flight from Seattle and it felt like going to your best friend's house Cold drinks brought right away; server very kind to tired kiddos and even let my daughter take her plate outside where it was cooler. And the food was delish!! Island version of the Cuban is a must try. Homemade pickled too! All in all a great, comfy, tasty experience.

Well here we go , I had breakfast here during a network meeting, it was ok, the service was good but it just was so plain,I had the breakfast sandwich, I would go back and try lunch or dinner I heard there burgers are good!

My wife and I came here after landing for some lunch. This place is legit for the dead pig. We were very pleased, the pork is just to die for, very juicy. They have the most amazing bourbon Bleu cheese dressing. Hands down the best for lunch and some original recipe Mai tais.

April B.

Came here four times on our honeymoon, we loved it. It was really close to our hotel which made it convenient. We ordered the pork tacos which were amazing as well as the pancakes which were great too. I loved the bloody mary's too. Fun little place, nothing fancy but good food and close by the Marriot Beach Club. Two complaints: the banana bread french toast: Don't get it. First they served it completely cold so we sent it back and then it came back again cold but just in the middle. Weird. Second, they always seemed to run out of guacamole and salsa for the tacos. The tacos were a little bland with out them so they need to make sure they have enough salsa and guacamole every day. Overall though we loved it and loved hanging out there for brunch on our honeymoon!

Here in family vacation from NJ/Ohio and staying at the resort nearby...this place was AWESOME! Pulled pork sandwich was great...juicy and a great portion! Fries were crispy and not greasy! Everyone enjoyed their meals (kids too!)... Highly recommend to anyone reading!!!!
(5)
Serena P.

I've been to the restaurant three times. Dragged by friends last two times. Each time hoping it will be better than the last. The food is sub par. Maybe it's because I don't like pork and that's their main focus. My friends love their feral burger which isn't on the menu so ask about it. I ordered the fish and chips this time. The fries were soft. I like my fries more crispy. The batter kept falling off the fish and kept oily. The tarter sauce tasted like straight capers and the clam chowder that came with the meal had pork in it even tho it didn't say that and I don't eat pork. Overall the food is not every good. But the servers are always very nice even tho service is slow since their is one server for the whole restaurant. So they get three starts for the servers being genuine and nice. Otherwise two stars.

Jane V.

It was a good breakfast but nothing to write home about. My husband ordered the Blackened Ahi Eggs Benedict but they were out of Ahi. Heard several other people order it but had to order something else instead. My husband ordered the Cured Ham Benny. I must of not read the full description for mine. It was the Vegetarian. I thought it was an addition to the Ham Benny. It was good thought. They do not have any gluten free breads so I did not eat my English muffin. My husband said it was nice and soft. I overhead a gentlemen at a table behind me. He made a comment about his breakfast. Didn't seem to happy with it. I am not sure what he was having. The atmosphere is nothing special. It is a small space. The servers all young around 20. They all seemed to help each other and were friendly.

Brandon T.

Came here for lunch and it was so good!!! A friend recommended it and told us to get the Feral Burger. ohh my gosh, so freaking good! Great combinations of meats and sauce. I also asked if they could make me a specialty drink, in which they made it perfect and off the fly! One of the best meals we had on our cruise, hopefully I can make it back soon. The server was really nice and cool! Tip: If the feral burger is not on their menu, ask about it! It will be way worth it!

Very good the better of the meals we had in the area. Not sure if I enjoyed it because the choices around are so limited. The food was fresh the prices were reasonable and considering the rest of the area this is a step up!

Disappointing,! They were out of fish for tacos or fish and chips. Had the clam chowder which was generous with clams but too much pepper. Also out of sour dough bread... Seriously on Saturday evening? Had a BLT which was OK... Nothing outstanding.

James M.

Across from Anchor Cove in the Harbour Court Mall... HUGE menu and most welcoming people!! While we did NOT eat, we had the MANNA (from heaven?) brew on tap and with a tiny hint of pineapple...yum On to more locations, but fond memories of this place! Wish we had room for the Feral Pig Burger...looked outstanding!! NEXT Time?

A fun local spot - our zipline leaders recommended this as the best burger on the island. It sounded like their post-work hangout spot. We only had time to pick up food to go, but wished we could've stay (there was a bluegrass band playing live, & a lot of people were there having a good time). I wouldn't say the Feral Pig's burger was one of the best burgers I've had (though that's quite a high bar), but it's worth coming here if you're in Lihue and are looking for a meal. It seems more a place to go for the vibe than specifically the food. At about 4:30pm on a Sunday, we were able to call ahead to order a burger - it was ready in about 10 minutes but they were so busy at the bar it took us a bit to get our hands on the burger. They also didn't ask us how we wanted it cooked and it ended up being medium to well-done. * Feral Burger (off-menu item! Beef patty with pork belly) - 4 stars pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ up close: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ cross-section: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ Very tasty, but be forewarned - it is also quite oily and rich, but still delicious. The fries are more on the soft side, with a thin layer of crisp, but I like them that way. They had good seasoning on them. Can't say much more than this - we were driving in a rush and I was being fed by my passenger!

Michael M.

After checking the other reviews, I went to go and try the feral moco for lunch. It is a breakfast only item but the super helpful and really beautiful bartender Mitch worked her magic and made it happen! I've had my share of loco moco's but this takes the tops. A perfect blend of fried rice, local feral burger, two thick slices of house cured pork belly, two eggs, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and gravy. Excellent food coma grindz.

Amidst the profusion of rummy, fruit-drowned drinks in Hawaii, this place was an oasis to me. It's clear hat a mixologist runs the house, with embarrassingly affordable classic cocktails with premium liquor. His Manhattan was one of the best I've had and, being from Portland, that's a competitive game to play! In addition, their food was good. I had the vegetarian Benedict and the breakfast tacos, avoiding the overpriced, bland meals at the Marriott. Staff was friendly and music was good. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!
(4)
Heather L.

Now closed only a day or two ago, my husband and I ate there for a lighter dinner. Meal was good. Had the fish tacos and the pork belly appetizer. Slow service but nice people. Our waitress said that they were moving locations but didn't know where it would be. I think they were having troubles with the landlord or something.

Super Jill L.

Guinness on tap lured us in but the quality of food and friendly staff - and great music the first night - kept us coming back for more. The tomatoes are rich red all the way through and lettuce is healthy crispy green - and that's just the side salad... The tiki moco and fish tacos are both something worth dropping in for. We ended up going a handful of times including on my birthday for breakfast :) thank you guys for making such delicious nutritious food. I will be back for sure!! Mmmmmm
(5)
Bill L.

Breakfast at Da Feral... Yum! Had the Eggs Benedict ( their version ) and the in-house cured pork medallions were a welcome addition to the island effect of my meal. Definitely returning for a drink and snack before leaving Kauai. Friendly staff made the meal all the more enjoyable. Mahalo, Feral Pig!

Julie L.

This is one of our favorites on the island and close enough to the airport it's the perfect arrival/departure meal. Highly recommend the fish tacos and anything with their pork - whether an omelette or the sloppy pig sami. Perfect combo of slightly charred and still juicy. For breakfast the pancakes are absurdly huge and wonderfully fluffy - kiddos scarf them down. Added bonus - next door to a fantastic toy store (or maybe not a bonus, depending on your willpower). Only ding a star as the service can be pretty slow and the tables a tad...sticky. Note to management: please please please make Feral Piglet shirts for kids!!!!

Zach S.

Dave is an excellent cocktail man, and he runs an excellent establishment. His aviation is perfect, and his Hawaiian fried rice breakfast is sooooo good. Local flavor with an unexpected twist. Also? Real traditional live Irish music on a Sunday? This place is fun on vacation.

Tony R.

The food is nothing to rave about, for sure. The service is subpar, and the "bar pours" are stingy ( to put it politely). This place really deserves NO local business. Now that Kalapaki Joes is no longer in the same complex in Nawiliwili, the parking lot has been 3/4 empty...and for good reason. This review applies to their lunch/dinner menu. If you want to take a chance on breakfast, up to you! I'd save my money. You'll get a boat load of their fries, but not much else on your place, no matter what you order. Pathetic Fish and Chips. Sorry, I have never given a Kauai eatery such a low rating, but this really borders on tourist trap/rip off country...

Craft beers, clever mixologists, and great dinner menu. I highly recommend the Feral burger - it's not listed on the menu but they always have it. This is my go-to last dinner stop with friends/family before they leave the island. Staff is always friendly. Even when they are super busy, they are working hard to keep you satisfied! Great casual place for groups. Good luck guys and see you soon!

For sure skip the overrated crowded spots nearby and grab an authentic Mai Tai (soooo good) at this place! Awesome fish tacos too! Both our bartender and server (Rachael) were super attentive and awesome!

Charles A.

Pricey for a burger. 12 for the burger, 3 for fries or a salad, they even charged me $0.50 for a to go box. The burger itself was solid, a hamburger with with sliced pork on a roll covered with cheese. The burger itself was good to go for the experience, but not enough to go back again.

Ryan C.

Arrived on time and table was ready, only had two servers which made service slow. Took 30 minutes to get a drink and 2 hours to get food. Food was Ok, and overpriced. Website is good!! BUT half the food on web menu is not served in restraunt, server mentioned that it has been like that for over a year now. Most of my party was disappointed.
(1)
Heidi S.

Excellent burgers, beers, and unique libations. The french fries are to die for. However, if you are in the mood for a great breakfast, they are open early too. The location is just steps from Kalapaki Beach and walking distance from the cruises. If you are staying outside of Lihue, there is ample free parking in the lot of the attached shopping center.

Best Macademia Nut & Banana Pancakes in HI! Their coffee is always fresh, the servers are friendly, & the rest of the meals are just as tasty. This place rocks!

Jim A.

I've been in bars and restruant a in 47 states and if I could only go to one for the rest of my life this is it. Best Bloody Mary...ever! The staff was friendly, attentive and fun. Dave, the owner, has an amazing knowledge of mixology and liquor. Wings, fries, Feral Burger, eggs Benedict, fish tacos, all excellent. On the Drunkle Jim scale it gets the max 3 drink minimum rating. (After 3 you really don't want to go anywhere else!)

Jackie G.

Arrived hungry, left disappointed. I had high hopes for the menu, I got the vegevore omelet, the menu doesn't give you much information about it, I was expecting more vegetables, but all I got was cheese (not specified on the menu!) and a bunch of tomatoes, wilty lettuce and mushrooms. My boyfriend got the breakfast tacos and sadly they were cold. Out of avocado salsa, also not mentioned. One of the waiters was wearing a sweat soaked shirt and the owner didn't notice it was grossing out the customers. What's the point of being at your restaurant if your not going to manage it? We left full wanting to puke up our meal and go somewhere else.

Shane D.

Discovered this place via Yelp, and after dancing around with Mapquest, we arrived at what can best be described as a really big mall food court set up. I was leery, but we were all REALLY hungry after a day of body surfing on the west side, so we proceeded in to eat. It is a sit yourself kind of place, but the servers come check on you really quick. Just a heads up, sitting outside at night might SEEM like a good idea, but the near swarm of bugs drove us back inside. Not a knock on the business because this is a tropical place, just a warning. We had calamari, poke, and wings to start. All good. For main dinner we had the Sloppy Kalamaki, fish tacos, club sandwich, and an awesome off menu item, the Feral Burger. Only downer on this spread was the fish on the tacos was way over seasoned. Could have used much less spice and it would have still been taco worthy. Shame to have such awesome fresh local fish then completely cover the taste. Price was a little high but not as bad some places on the island. Overall, this is a good place to get some really good food with some great service.

I had the Feral Loco and it was AWESOME! The gravy was the best seasoned gravy ever and the homemade sausage patty of beef and pork was really good too. Oh and not to mention the home cured pork belly (bacon). Soooo Ono!

Bar atmosphere with some local music. Basic bar menu. chicken wings were good. I like them really crispy. The fish and chips was crispy but the fish that was used was just ok. Actually thought it was better than Duke's in some of the meals.

Pulled pork sandwich best in the area. Fish tacos were fantastic though you might want 3 of you're hungry. Definitely a dive but seems like a real chef with his attention to detail and flavors.

Went in for some fish tacos only to find they ran out of fish, at lunch time nonetheless. Then were extremely rude when we decided not to eat there as if it was our fault they didn't have any more fish. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Taylor W.

Craft beer and delicious burgers? Sold. Sit at the bar when you come, FAR more entertaining. The feral burger is a must order (it's off menu). The sliders are another great off menu option. With all the tourist traps around here, this is a great place with great food and fun people. Big fan, we'll be back!

Such a unique and friendly environment! The best hand-crafted drinks (try the Moscow Mule with sliced fresh ginger in a copper mug)! The chef, Dave C. creates some amazingly tasty dishes that are sure to have you coming back for more! Live Irish music by the band Whisky-O, is toe-tapping fun too!

Corey K.

I'll keep this short: We were very disappointed. The girlfriend described it as being on-par with Applebees. I think that's being too generous. The servers were very nice, but that's where the charm ends with this place. Details ... The place bills itself as being a "must experience" restaurant with great food and drinks. If you visit their website, you'd think you were going to the Cheers-like place that is run by a gastronomical genius. In actuality, the food and the drinks were weak. The food was uninspired and and all fried foods use the same oil (hence why there were burned calamari rings in our basket of fries). As for the drinks, they were weak and --get this-- they even managed to get a Mai tai wrong (they added Mudslide mix).

Came in here for breakfast before hitting up the beach. We were a group of 6 and we were seated right away. We tried a variety of breakfast food from Moco Loco to waffles. Everything was delicious. Even though it was before noon, we tried a few of their great beer selection. Beer was cold and also delicious. Definatley will be coming back.

Oh my goodness. This is all I have wanted since we got to the islands. A cocktail menu that separates itself from every other one over here. Hand mixed cocktails with something other than rum or vodka. The food was amazing. EVERYTHING is made from scratch, the Kalua pork is smokey and delicious. The homemade pickles are lightly marinated fresh cucumber, yummy. The service is fast friendly and efficient. We are coming back before we leave and if we ever come back it'll be our first stop.

Darlene B.

i LOVE that when I walked in the bartender said HELLO...and i said "hi!" and she said "uhmmm..i love your top, your whole outfit, you're adorable" and i said "Thanks!...i LOVE this place!" This place doesn't have great reviews to begin with, which makes me sad! Great customer service and awesome beer selection. If i was good with the Hawaiian words, then i would say what kind of beer I had. It was a hefe-like on tap...it was really good. Food is decent and cheap. i had Kalua Sloppy Joe..which essentially tasted like a pulled pork sandwich...very decent. I had a bite of the burger and their Feral Patty...pretty finger licking. Since I'm not a local in Kauai, I won't be able to try it again, but I'm glad I was able to. They had the NBA playoffs playing in the background so it was awesome.

Erick T.

Had a nice Sunday evening dinner there. There was even a live band playing Irish tunes. We enjoyed and shared a large Cobb Salad and an order of Fish and Chips. It's inside the Harbor building complex with an assortment of other restaurants. Parking lot with ticket validation.

Russell P.

A good option to get away from the marriot corporate scene and see something a little closer to kauai. Of course not as authentic as some wahini's backyard grill, but the right direction. Went for breakfast, service was average and food was the same. A little slow, but i would definitely go back again. Variety and taste of food was good and worth the price paid. There are a lot of food options within this quarter mile. If you see one with hardly any people inside and no locals. I would stay away. Staying safe for food doesn't mean you only can eat at the hotel either. Be adventurous, there are many good food options here in kauai

Melissa E.

Delicious food, lovely breakfast, and nice staff members. Another local place going out of business later this week. So sad...a chain restaurant is not the same. The local places provide service, use local ingredients, and provide the "Kauai" ambiance so lacking in the chain restaurants. Best wishes to the owner and staff in their new endeavors.

Robert M.

Quick Bite to be had on our way back to LA. Stopped for a burger at Feral Pig. Had the special Feral Burger: 50/50 grass fed Kauai beef patty and pork with Swiss, sautÃ© onions, pork belly strips and aioli on a taro bun with a side of house cut fries. One of the best burgers I have ever had!
(5)
Juliet S.

Despite its catchy name, this place is just that. The food and service was the worst I have had so far on the island. The feral burger was dry. The Cobb salad tasteless. They had run out of burger meat. No light above our table. So poor we couldn't believe it!
(1)
Jillian A.

Stopped here for lunch on our way to the airport. They are in a shopping center that offers free parking when validated so it was nice to not have to fight for street parking. Their menu is well priced and has a good selection of burgers and different small plates. Overall, this is a good place to stop if you need some time to kill or a good meal before a flight.

Annie S.

Not one bad thing comes to mind about this place. We stayed at the Kaua'i Marriott across the way so this was super convenient, not to mention, the food was amazing! I was definitely OOOOOVER all the tacos and burgers we were eating on the island, so the super chill and friendly server recommended the Ahi Salad. And wow.. I was not disappointed! It was so refreshing to eat something that didn't clog my arteries. Haha! My husband was torn between many items on the menu, but ultimately, ended up ordering the Feral Tacos. I did sneak a bite and was pleasantly surprised! So much flavor! We absolutely loved them. Huge portions, so my husband left with a box. Another plus: Great beer and wine menu compared to other places we visited during our vacation. We will definitely be visiting again during our next vacation!

It was great. Would come here again for sure. Just the special Feral burger. Don't mess with anything else!

Two words: Feral Tacos. My fiancÃ© and I wanted somewhere quick to eat as we were headed to the Lihue airport. We had just checked out of a nearby hotel and found this lovely little spot nearby. The menu had a relatively good range of food on it, but there was one dish that I simply couldn't pass up - the Feral Tacos. Meet upon meet upon meet. Absolutely delicious!! The salad that came with the tacos may have been a little heavy with the dressing, but I had also ordered a side of fries which got more of my attention when I wasn't scarfing down the tacos. Between the 2 tacos, the fries, and the few bites of the salad that I had I certainly didn't leave feeling like I wanted anything more. The staff were very friendly. Our waitress was quick to answer any questions that we had about the menu, was very attentive to our table as she knew we had a flight to catch, and was great at providing last minute directions to the airport (which turned out to only be about 5 minutes away).

Tom C.

Well, in my YELP opinion, pretty over rated. Maybe dinner is better, or breakfast. Lunch can be tough on the islands and a lot if people are out and about. The staff was friendly. How ever very slow. Server asked my wife if she wanted a refill on diet coke and it's been about 10 minutes. My table was so sticky on the side that my cell phone stuck to the edge and stayed there. I should have taken a picture with my wife's phone. Food wasn't great, want horrible either. The place's name would lead you to believe that they had traditional island style port offerings but the sloppy kalapecki or whatever seemed like the Jack Daniels shredded pork one gets from Costco in bulk. Again, wasn't bad but of the pork I had on my 10 day island vacation this was my least favorite. Fries which are ala cart limp but tasted good. Wife had a nice sized chicken breast and a avocado on her club. She liked it a lot. Fresh and tasted good . Only complaint was salad came WAY oily. They do validate your parking.

This restaurant was just a short walk from the Marriott so it was very convenient. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was laid back. But the food... Seriously, the plain buttermilk pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I've had in a while. The fork cut them like, well, like butter. The syrup was terrific and even the coffee was great. We try to visit different places when we travel, but we broke our rule and ate there our last morning as well. The Loco Moco and egg sandwich were just as good.

Wow best burger ever! If you come to Kauai you gotta come to the Feral Pig and have the not on the menu Feral Pig Burger! It's a culinary delight with layers of yummy beginning with a Taro bun, add the hand mixed kobe beef and pork burger, white cheddar, special sauce and crispy pork belly and well it's yummy!!!!! Add the home fries and your set... This is a gotta go to!

This place is amazing. Our waiter was awesome. food was phenomenal. There is no words to describe this place. everything that customer service and food/taste and price needs to be in order to have the 5 stars-they are. our waiter was knowledgeable on their menu, asked us what we liked/if we wanted to try something new. explained the different beers-asked what beers we normally drink-and his suggestions. food came our fast and was hot. tasted amazing. beers were yummy. waters refilled. I took his suggestions based on what i normally eat and I am so glad i did. We never had to ask him to come over, he checked up on us. next time i am on the island, I will be there in a heart beat.

I love my sloppy kalapaki! So delicious! After ziplining for the morning, it was the perfect lunch. Hit the spot. They are also really good hangover food. To help you live during the day. Our server was Robert, and he was cool. He was on it with the water and fun to joke around with. I love the lunch menu, but the breakfast menu looked good too. But I always go to my Sloppy Kalapaki.

Killer pulled pork sandwiches with homemade pickles. Worth trying the pork belly and wings for appetizers, too. Seems to cater to both locals and tourists alike, which is always a good thing. Laid back, non- pretentious vibe.

This place was good with friendly staff. Conveniently located by the airport next to a bunch of small shops (good for souvenirs). They had better craft beer than any other place I saw on the island. Had a burger which was pretty good and the rest of our party had breakfast which they all enjoyed.

Amanda C.

So the reason why I give this place 3 stars is because of both the food and service. Stopped here because we were dying for some breakfast. I ordered the banana Mac nut pancakes and although they were good....once I got to the middle there was raw batter so it was an immediate turn off. The eggs were also the really watery so I'm guessing they were powdered.The host was really nice but took a while to take our orders. Bottom line is I wasn't really impressed.

Great "Pub" atmosphere. It's nothing special but there is a standard pub bar and restaurant tables. They have good beer on tap and available. Several local options. We had the mana wheat and the big swell IPA. We also tried the Wailua wheat ale. It had a hint of pineapple. The food was fantastic. We had the feral tacos and they were amazing! They encouraged us to put Valentina hot sauce on them and it gave the perfect spice. We also had the fish and chips and they did not disappoint. Don't let the facade scare you, this place is great food at a good price.

I was a regular here before, came back tonight for one of their burgers. They have always been real good, plus their fries are shoestring and gooood. Haven't been here in a while and they did raise their prices, but that's understandable. Let's see if the quality is still the same. ;) I recommend their bacon and blue cheese burger, or their Cobb salad.

A fun local hangout - we stopped in for some drinks while shopping off the cruise ship. Beermosa is delicious and make sure you try the local Kauai Beer Company on tap! My boyfriend got a bloody Mary that came with a slider and olives. Way too cool!

Great food, great service. Highly recommend the Feral Moco for breakfast. Definitely one of the best meals I've had on Kauai.

I had the breakfast sandwich here. The eggs are buffet style eggs, and disgusting. The taro brioche was tiny, not possibly capable of housing the egg-type product, day or two-old bacon, and cheese-type product. I set the bacon to the side as it was weird, and ate half of the other things with a fork. Taste was not good/normal

Dave the baretender was extremely friendly, knowledgable about craft beer. Great place to go when you're a little tired of castaway and big swell. Can't wait to go back for their rumored "best breakfast" on kauai.

We stopped here for breakfast before catching a flight. We are vegetarians so we were skeptical because of the name of the restaurant. It turns out that they have GREAT veggie options. I had a vegetarian omelette and my mom had eggs Benedict with mushrooms, avocado and tomato. Both dishes were great! Ellie was our server and she was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend for breakfast and thank you to Ellie for making our experience memorable!

Tomas K.

Staff is great. Meet the owner Dave. Grab a micro brew or one of their over 20 bourbons. Then smash a locally sourced Feral Burger or salad. Amazing. If you don't come by here on your visit, you are truly missing out on a Kauai jewel of foodie heaven. Oh, and the Pork belly is crispy and to live for.

I am okay with local spots and the lack of "tourist frills", but this place was downright yucky(havent used that word in a review yet) Cons: 1. Not sanitary. No soap in the bathroom...should have walked then. 2. No pride. Of the 8 open tables available when we arrived, all but 1 were covered with a mess. It was not busy, so I am not sure what the excuse was. 3. Strange, mediocre food. Clam chowder was a thick gravy concoction like i have never seen. It definitely had way too much flour and would have been ok over a biscuit, not as soup. I got the "special" feral burger. The only thing good on it was the slabs of pork belly(mega thick bacon). The meat was flavorless. Pros: 1. Mana Wheat bear on tap. Came in a frosty glass and surprisingly was perfect(temp, flavor, carb) 2. Fries were tasty. Seemed like fresh cut, and cooked just right. 3. Server was ok Soooo. If you are swinging by the place grab a cold one and a crispy plate of fries....make sure to sit at the bar because it seemed like the only place they kept clean. Bring hand sanitizer to clean up and you are good to go!

My husband and I stopped by one night to grab dinner while on our honeymoon. A few friends who live on the island had the Feral Pig on their list of "must visit" places. It was pretty empty when we went, because it was later in the day; though there was one other couple there. I couldn't decide what to order so the server shared that she liked to get a special dish... poke on rice with a creamy wasabi sauce. It was okay, but the fish was not as tasty/ fresh as I would've liked and there was just a bit too much mayo for my taste. I did appreciate their efforts to suggest something off menu to me though. Husband got a burger and loved it. Sometimes the classics are the best bet.

What happened to the feral pig??? this place really took a dive. Service was horrible and the food was terrible. We live on Kauai and I will never go back and will make sure to never send anyone there!! Just HORRIBLE

Robert the bartender took great care of us at the bar both nights we visited. He was attentive and fun. He made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere both nights was friendly and relaxing from all the staff. Drinks were great and unusual, good draft beer selection and great food. We mostly went for the drinks as it has a great small bar but we ended up eating too and liked our meals very much.

Rachelle W.

I am literally sitting in the restaurant so severely disappointed and wondering why I'm still trying to choke down one of the worst meals I've had in a really long time. I came here based on yelp reviews, a desire for the tiki moco, and the proximity to the Marriott. We arrived to find that they stop serving breakfast items at 12 (even though their website says 2) and that they are out of pork. The feral pig is out of pig, really? The waitress is nice enough, and explains that their chef recently left and they are undergoing some changes. I really hope the changes aren't so drastic as to move away from what earned this place so many good reviews before. Stick with what worked, and if your name is pig, keep a good stock of pig.

Uber casual almost dive but great food and drink. Best selection and price of high end liquor on the island. And who else on Kauai sells $2 PBR!!

A mediocre establishment that left me wanting more. This review is really about one item. The Banh Mi. I came here on mixed reviews of personal friends plus the generally positive yelp reviews. No one had mentioned the Banh Mi. Many recommended the feral burger, which in my opinion is passable and probably your best bet (maybe the breakfast is good as well). It's $12 and it's pretty decent sized, meat, sauteed onions, and cheese. It's your typical greasy manly burger without veggies. What this review is really about is the tragedy on their menu that they have the gumption to call a Banh Mi. What's worse, is they charged $12 for it. I was thinking to myself, "Oh sure, if they have this house cured pork belly, that should make a great banh mi, and at $12 it's gotta be loaded!" I was so wrong. I regret not taking a picture of the poor sickly sandwich as it was presented. Literally: two thin strips of bacon-like pork belly, a few leaves of cilantro, and alternating barely pickled carrot slices and cucumbers. There was almost nothing on it. This was all served on a decent sized sourdough roll (that really should have been a baguet, but in the whole scenario we are talking about this is the least of my concerns) without mayo or butter or anything. I don't complain at restaurants because I don't like spit, so that why I'm here on yelp. If you go to the Feral Pig. And I recommend you don't. Under no circumstances should you even consider ordering what you would expect to be a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. Stay far away from it. If you happen to run the Feral Pig and are reading this review, my recommendation is to either improve that sandwich to be worth the $12 you are charging and to have at least some level of meat and veggie content even if you don't use a baguet, or to do people a favor and to take it off the menu. If you work at the Feral Pig and someone orders a Banh Mi, do them a favor and say, "That sandwich is terrible and barely constitutes a meal, please try something else." Service was ok.

Found this via yelp and was hyped to try some great food. If your going for anything besides the feral burger go somewhere else as it will not be worth the money. But the feral burger was exactly what was expected so 2 stars for that but everything else was basically grease and oil with over cooked food. TLDR: if your looking for a fat greasy burger to hit that itch get the feral besides that stay away!

Stopped by for some drinks and football on a rainy afternoon, had a fantastic time! (We were heading for something else in the area that we were certain was going to be super touristy and way mediocre, and got distracted by this place... probably saved our afternoon). Food/Drinks - mostly, we just drank. Beers. They have a pretty good selection of beers on tap as well as some bottles of deliciousness. In the midst of drinking, we decided that we obviously needed the Feral Sliders (I don't think it's on the menu, but basically beef meets pork meets onions meets my piehole)... and some fries. Burger was pretty tasty (although a smidge ont he dry side), fries were perfect. Service - So this is really what won us over. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was awesome. Probably some of the best service we had on Kauai. Super friendly, knew his stuff, good times. At one point while we were there, a new bartender came in for her first day, and she was also super friendly and super helpful... on her first day... so... Oh, and we chatted with the owner a bit, and he was - yup, you guessed it - super friendly and helpful. In conclusion - great place to hang out, have a few drinks, and probably get a meal (again, we only had the sliders and some fries... but everything on the menu looked really good). Next time we're in town, we'll definitely plan for a meal there!

An amazing bunch of people work at the Feral Pig, very friendly and helpful. The manager even mailed me my dad's favorite leather hat back to Oahu when he left it in the restaurant, legends! (that hat's been around the world, I can't tell you how much it meant for him to get it back, thank you!) We also ate their twice during our short stay in Kauai. The menu is eclectic and interesting, I managed to get my mum to try a couple of things she'd never tried before, which she really enjoyed. My dad also has a bunch of allergies (gluten, red meats, alcohol....etc) and we found a meal that he enjoyed so much he ordered the same thing when we went back. For those who say the service is a little slow, I'd agree, but you're on Hawaiian time when you're in Hawaii (especially Kauai) so it didn't bother me. I also think it's a sign that the food is being cooked with love rather than on a production line. Finding something out of the ordinary food-wise is more important to me, especially when it's so delicious! So overall, the experience we had at the Feral Pig was awesome, the food is interesting and tasty, and we'd definitely go back!

The Feral pig's service was not great they only had one waitress and the witness was stressed. We waited 20min for someone to take our order. I ordered french toast and she came up 10 minutes later saying they were out of French toast.

Tiffani O.

Was recommended to this place by a local who raved about the burgers especially the Feral Burger (off the menu) and it didn't disappoint. The burgers are about an inch thick! My brother ordered the Feral Burger which is half ground beef and half ground pork and topped with cheese and pork belly. He loved it! I ordered a regular burger with a fried egg for an extra buck. Tasty all the way through. Others in our party ordered fish tacos and Kalua pork. They enjoyed it as well. Will be back!

I read about this place in the Ultimate Kauai guide book. They said it was just short an ono due to service. I would say it was short due to everything. We tried last night (Thursday) at eight PM and they said the grill was closed so we ate at Rocco's Pizza. We tried the Pig again tonight again figuring they would stay open on a Friday. After waiting about ten minutes we finally got service and an order in. Ten minutes later we were told that there was no fish left. Of any kind. Half the menu is fish. Two of us were pescatarians so this was a problem. We had drinks by then so decided to stick it out. Pescatarians ordered just fries after some debate. 50 minutes later we finally got food. It was very dry, very bad, overcooked. I ordered the secret feral burger, we had a Cuban, and another burger. All were pretty bad to mediocre. Ketchup saved the day. Ketchup should never need to save anything. The Cuban was the smallest sliver of a sandwich I had ever seen. Very mediocre. The fries were stringy and very crispy to burnt. It's a style, yes, but not really a great style. We had one napkin between us all. Wtf? We couldn't get a server's attention for the rest of the night once the food was dropped off (not by the server). So we split the napkin up and I resorted to using the ice water in my glass to clean up while waiting for someone to bring the bill. The music and drinks were good (how can you screw up drinks, right? A fountain Coke was actually found wanting by one in our party, but it tasted fine to me ) . The food and service were pitiful. The whole party left to go eat at Duke's except me who waited to pay the bill and stare at half eaten meals. I finally got the bill, paid it and dashed. We were charged $15 for every sandwich even though the menu stated $12 for the Cuban and burgers. Apparently all sandwiches are Ã la carte and fries are $3.Which seems like a good price but if not for the quality... $3 for the aforementioned Coke. Wow. Drafts were $5 and the only thing worth having. Whatever. Just wanted out at that point. Will never go there again. Would never recommended this place. Seriously, it was like they had no idea how to really run a restaurant. Seemed pretty half-assed. A bar, maybe they could do that alright . A Public House or restaurant, they are far short of having skills necessary. They should remove the term Pub from the description because it is a failure. Bar, okay. Should have walked when they had no fish. Our bad. The Ultimate Kauai guide should downgrade them even more. In stark contrast, Duke's was very pleasant and the pescatarians got some nice fish and chips, right on the beach, with live music as well. We had resisted Duke's because it is so clichÃ©, but ultimately the service, the food and ambience kicked Feral Pig's pork butt. I understand trying to local source, making something interesting, but Feral Pig falls short of making it worth the money or the while. Stay away unless you just want drinks and expect no or bad food. We should have just gone to Duke's in the first place. If you just want drinks, maybe the Pig is okay. Caveat emptor!

So you sit down at The Feral Pig for breakfast, blinking the sleep out of your eyes, still thinking about the coffee place you saw on the way in. But your friends keep saying 'beermosa' and you don't think that'll jive well with coffee, so you wait. And you order a beermosa, then sip it while browsing through the menu... and wonder whether it's ruining regular mimosas for you. 'Feral' is in the name of the place, and you notice some 'feral' items on the menu - you've seen other people trying loco moco, you've had a bite, and you think maybe this is the right morning for a loco moco breakfast. Oh, tiki moco. Well that looks - ohhhh, 'feral' moco. Well okay. What is feral moca, you ask the waitress - turns out, it's fried rice and eggs and gravy and hamburger and pork belly, and you're sold, and you order it. And you finish off your beermosa. Would you like another beermosa? Of course you would. Breakfast turns out to be delicious. The loco moco is a giant meal, and you can't quite manage to finish it, but it'll make a gut-buster of a leftover snack for later, that's for sure. The pork belly is more on the drier crispier side - you've had it juicier elsewhere - but soaked in the gravy, everything on your plate has been pretty delectable. ... time passes. And somehow around dinner time, later that week, you're thinking about the feral burger. Other people have tried it, and they've urged you to do the same, and you have so little willpower to resist their suggestion. Back to The Feral Pig. Beers all around. Local brews, too, not mainland imports - everyone tries a sip of eachother's, and you all change your minds about what you're drinking next round. What does the guy sitting across from you think of his martini? He cautiously admits it's actually pretty good. Both of you secretly wish it had an olive or two, but keep it to yourself. And now your feral burger has arrived. You get right to work, chewing your way through the meat and the cheese and the pork belly and the everything - and come to the conclusion that a feral burger is basically the same as the feral loco, only with a bun instead of rice. And you're pretty okay with that. Another beer? Yeah why not.

You're supposed to come for the Feral Burger. It's not on the menu, but the waiter/barkeep will always mention it. It's THE item to order. So how was it? It was a good burger. Worth traveling for? Not really. But there are quite a few beers on tap, and their homemade lemonade is nice, and it's a great stop if you're near the airport or in the Harbor Mall and want a hearty bite.

Khin O.

All the non-vegetarian items on the menu seem great. My friends had different ahi dishes that they enjoyed. However, my slice of banana bread french toast and "scrambled" (just fried really) eggs were not worth paying nearly the same price as their ahi. It was fairly dry and very dense.

I feel like restaurant reviews in Hawaii should always be taken with a BIG grain of salt. Simply put, nobody comes to Hawaii for the food. I know that sounds snobbish but I've been lucky enough to live in Seattle and SF which are two of the best cities in America for eating out. I also freely admit to preferring food trucks and places where the food comes in a plastic basket to places with white tablecloths. I like good food but am hardly a gourmet. So that aside, the Feral Pig is the best food I've had in my three visits to Hawaii and the first place I'd go to if it were located in my hometown. The food was good, they had a decent selections of beer including a nice pale ale brewed in Lihue and the service was good. The menu is a bit limited and the usual bar fare of sandwiches but it's solidly executed and everything seemed fresh. I had the pulled pork sandwich and also a burger and both hit the spot. In a place not exactly teeming with great food choices the Feral Pig didn't disappoint.

First, for those of you whose Google directions may be unclear, it's in the mall. Come for the pork, stay for the cocktails. Or, just come for the cocktails. Or beer, which they also have a great selection of. So we started with dinner and some local beers on tap - their beer list highlights the beer which is actually brewed in Hawaii, which is nifty (non-locals will note that Kona is NOT one of the highlighted beers, lest you had any illusions...) The smoked pulled pork was fabulous, even though the smoke was incredibly subtle (barely noticeable, really). The feral burger was also quite good, though the pork belly on top was a bit on the tough side. The pork-mixed-in-hamburger was awesome though. But let's get to the cocktails. Best on the island. Hands down. They know their way around a serious cocktail bar, and you're in for a treat if Dave's back there (he's also one of the owners, I believe). He knows a ton of fantastic drinks from top-notch bars across the country along with all the best of the classics, and (unlike some more hipstery places you might experience) he likes to keep you entertained while me makes the drinks. I know, right? A fancy cocktail bartender who actually interacts with you and doesn't act like he's barely deigning to serve you? Crazy! But he mentioned that he considers that a big part of the Hawaiian style - actual service, and paying attention to the customer, not just making drinks. Which is cool. But seriously. Fantastic cocktails. Totally worth returning to.

Super nice bartender, very patient with us out of towners! I'm not sure of his name but he had big brown eyes and tattoos... We just stopped in for a beer so I can't comment on the food. Beers were plentiful and the beermosa was fabulous.. If your a fan of beers stop here:)

Had an excellent breakfast here. They cure their own meats and I had a very tasty eggs Benedict with fresh house made Hollandaise and house smoked pork belly. My three kids had pancakes, eggs and a breakfast burrito. Each really enjoyed their meal. My wife had banana bread French toast and it was tasty. All the items were excellent and the portions were nicely sized. Service was friendly and good. This is part of our regular rotation now when we stay at the Marriott Kauai and should be yours as well.

Came here to hear irish music on sunday afternoon. Very fun! Whiskey-O is a great group. Very talented!! Great voices, humor, violins, recorder, accordion and guitar. Just try to keep your foot from keeping the beat. Impossible! While here, the Sloppy Kalapaki was most juicy and delectable. House-smoked pulled pork, bbq sauce, coleslaw, whole-grain mustard and pickles on a bun. And the beer flowed. Great afternoon! Try it!!!

My husband and I checked this place out for breakfast on our first day in Kauai. The server was awesome. She was so friendly and polite, and gave us great advice. Although the restaurant was out of Polynesian sweet bread (which I was really bummed about), the overall atmosphere and experience was great. Good prices, homey atmosphere, and happy employees. All we needed for a great breakfast!

Ok, this place was a gem!! We were going to another restaurant but we were redirected here. Boy, I am so glad! The Oktoberfest beer was great and Moscow mule was spot on. The fish and chips for the kids was fresh and the tartar sauce was yummy. Calamari was delicious and our feral burger was amazing!! Omg! It was a pork and beef burger topped with cheese, caramelized onions, and pork belly bacon on a fresh brioche bun. I highly recommend this burger! Great staff and fresh food. Food made with love!

JB R.

Breakfast was ok. I ordered the eggs Benedict, some serious pork there. The coffee was either old or over brewed, really acidic. No amount of sugar or cream could help it taste better. The kid fruit cup was $4, it was small and was mostly banana sprinkled with pineapple - surely they can do better than that!

The live music is great. Eat somewhere else. This place should not be on open table - when was the last time you made a reservation to drink beers at a pub and maybe eat bar food? Ordered pot stickers - which could have been great, but I'll never know because the malt vinegar(?!) that they were swimming in destroyed any possibility of tasting them. Wings were so salty I had to send them back. I never do that and I like salt and love wings. Feral burger was okay but also super salty. Pretty clear that the staff isn't tasting the dishes or have been instructed to use a lot of salt to "sell more drinks" - either way, yuck. If you find yourself in Kauai, you've spent enough money getting there, don't spend anymore on food here. Drinks - sure, go for it. The live music is great. Eat somewhere else.

Okay, you may THINK you've had the best clam chowder in your life. You may even KNOW it, in the same way you knew there was a monster in your closet no matter what your mom said. Well, just like with the monster (I hope), you're wrong. This clam chowder deserves odes, far beyond my ability to compose or create. Yes, it IS that good. Pair that with some cheery, live, Irish tunes. Add an attentive and witty staff. You've got yourself a great afternoon!

Courtney S.

Friend recommended this place to us as a place to eat lunch before heading to airport. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to be disappointed. Nothing on the menu stuck out to me and we just finally decided on the Feral burger because we couldn't make up our mind. Burger came with a side salad which had a lime vinaigrette. It was not good. The burger was pretty decent. The clam chowder was the show stopper though. It was delicious I'm sad we wasted our last meal in Kauai at this place :(

I'm going with 5 stars after breakfast this morning... Edison, you made it special! Wife and I are on day 4 of our honeymoon, and after two days of hotel breakfast, it was time to branch out and try the local grind. Saw the Feral when I was planning the trip. We were there last night for late lunch, and really enjoyed what we had. The server was friendly, and happened to be from Oregon too! Wife had Feral tacos, and I had the Kauai-cubano. Her tacos are to die for. A combo of fatty, succulent pork belly, roast pork, and beef, with their secret aioli, guacamole, and something green. Lettuce? Who cares. Tacos came with a side salad, made with local greens, tomatoes, and cabbage. Talk about tacos. Better than my sandwich. This Kauai variation on the classic Cuban sandwich had pork belly instead of ham, and Kalua pig instead of the normal roast shoulder. The bun was a buttery toasted flavor vehicle, but if it's supposed to have taro in it, you'd never know. I will say it is probably the softest, and yet most durable roll for a Cuban I've ever had. The meats were of good quality, though I did have some issue tearing through the pork belly with my teeth. They were also fairly thin slices, but they were not over cooked. A deft hand in the kitchen for sure there. The pickles could have used a bit more punch to offset the rich pork, and I couldn't really tell the mustard was present except for the bits squishing out the side. Sandwich was $12 a la carte. For $3 more, I got some house made Taro chips. Tasty, well fried, maybe a little light on the salt... Bump the price to $13.50 (I'll split the difference with ya) and include the sides and I'd be happy. Came back this morning for breakfast. Now, I will say I was a little bummed to find out the Bloody Mary with the bacon wrapped shrimp and slider was no longer available, but since I learned of that last night, I wasn't too upset. Like I said at the start, if you are lucky to have Edison as your server, he won't steer you wrong. Course we were both set on Mocos from the start, and we both wanted the Feral Moco. When in Kauai... When the feral Moco comes out, it is totally a brown on brown on brown pile, but don't judge a dish by its lack of color... The feral patty (a blend of pork belly and Kauai beef) is as full of flavor as you can ask for in a ground patty. Top that with caramelized onions (see honey, there was a vegetable present), cheese and my perfectly cooked over easy eggs and you're only half way there. A Moco wouldn't be complete without rice, and the feral does theirs with fried rice. Simple, not overly seasoned, just the right portion of rice to suck up the meat juice, gravy, runny yolk, and make you feel full. Oh yeah, gravy... I could swim in it. Delicious. Highly seasoned, maybe even a little too salty, but not heavy American sausage white gravy. Gave everything a bright shine, and the little bit of sauce this dish needed. Well done Feral Pig, may you have many more successful years so we can return for a visit!

Through one of our honeymoon tours in Kauai, we were told not to miss the Feral Pig. The tour guide told us that they had the best burgers on the island AND the coldest beer. That was all I needed to hear, so we headed south and found a table. Parking is confusing, I entered the north parking lot through the exit only and finally found the designated lot. There's a kiosk to get a lot ticket but nobody to collect them which I considered strange. Once parked, we entered the business complex and stumbled around until we found the pig. When we arrived, we were one of two parties in the entire place, but it still took us 15 minutes to get menus and water. Once our waiter found us, he stammered around the menu until he admitted it was his second day and really didn't know the answers to our clarifying menu questions. We started with some brews which were definitely cold but I would hesitate to say were the coldest on the island. The feral sliders and feral tacos were our meal choices, and we had both the fries and the taro chips. The tacos were much better than the sliders, and the chips were much better than the fries. The sliders had pork belly which was exceedingly fatty and were claimed to be on a toasted taro bun but the bun tasted like any regular thing. The taro chips were easily the best thing we ate, toasty and salty, but coming all this way just for chips is probably a waste of time. Prices are higher than I thought was reasonable for the portions, but kudos to them for pushing the envelope with branching into the foodie scene while still incorporating local flavors. I'd love to see them add more authentic taro and possibly island fruits to the bbq and pulled pork. Otherwise, slightly above average, for a notable above average price.

The loco moco was meh, but hubby liked his. Although he said it was nothing to write home about. Service was prompt and cordial, but definitely not exceptional. Dude was a little distracted, I think. The music (if you can call it that) when we walked in was horrid! However, it mellowed to something more amenable. All in all, it wasn't the worst or the best place we've ever eaten, but it did the job...

Our first meal in Hawaii! It is a few minutes from the airport in Lihue, so it's pretty convenient whether you're coming or going. This place was actually recommended by locals the first time we were here, so I'm happy we finally got to check it out. We shared the braised pork belly appetizer. It was amazing, by the way, but how can it be otherwise, ever?! For me, I ordered the fish tacos and for him, the kalua pork.

Came in for lunch on Sunday. Our server took our order very quickly and was really friendly but our food took a while to come out. The feral tacos were good, decent size portion. The fish sandwich was good; the fries would have been great if they were hot (they're cut thin with skin on and are crispy). The small plate chicken wings were dry and pretty bland, as were the sautÃ©ed veggies on the side. There was a table of locals whose server seemed to know, and they were having a great conversation, so attitude is definitely a positive one here. But overall, just an okay meal, especially for $45 for 3 people.

Last meal in Kauai before headed to the airport. Checked the Yelpers and saw this would be the perfect place to hang on way out of town. Friendly service, not crowded when we went, but then it was early and pouring rain. Seemed like mostly after work locals. Our party had: Seared Ahi salad- to die for. There was a nice spicy crust and then perfectly pink meat. Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich, also good but not as good as the one I had at 9th Island. The fish was a bit overcooked and therefore tough. Flavor was nice and the crunch of a dry cole slaw on the sandwich was refreshing. Taro chips, fresh made, huge thin and crispy chips. Better than potato chips.

I came here on a Wednesday night and made a reservation, although it was not necessary. Restaurant was pretty empty. I ordered the fish tacos. They were good. Not great, not bad. Fast and friendly service.

Love this place! The proximity to the airport makes it a great place to chill before catching a flight. The drinks are hand crafted works of art and the food is super delicious with fresh and local ingredients. Every Sunday afternoon they have live music which I was lucky enough to recently catch. The regulars are friendly and the staff even more so. Can't wait for my next visit!

Loved this spot and found it after wandering outside our hotel (Kauai Marriott) - it's a few minutes walk and is an unassuming spot. When we sat down we were greeted by Eddie (his first week on the job) and he was a true delight. His attentiveness and eagerness to please made our whole experience even better. I am GF and can't do dairy so breakfast options are sometimes limited, however this spot had freshly made omelettes and many other choices. The coffee is average however he kept the cups full. My honey had the banana and macadamia nut pancake (I mean seriously if I wasn't GF I would have ordered 10 of these... they were insanely good, I only had a mouthful but it had warm bananas and really fresh macadamia nuts inside and on top). He also ordered the eggs benedict with the fish of the day blackened (interesting breakfast choice but he really enjoyed it). I had the vegetable omelette (with no peppers) and it was filled with mushrooms, kale and tomato) with the hash brown - really huge and delish. I highly recommend this spot and we will return before our time in Kauai.

Came here for breakfast twice while on our trip to kauai! We were staying at the Marriot and everything is ridiculously priced, so we ventured over here hopeful for good food! My husband is a moco loco fanatic and the tiki loco did not disappoint. He practically licked his bowl at the end. I had the blackened ahi tuna eggs Benedict and it was amazing. One of the best hollandaise sauces I've ever had - delicious. Even when busy and understaffed this place found a way to have great service and took great care of us. Our fav food while in kauai for sure! We will be back. :)

Jon M.

My pork sandwich was good. The bread was awesome. However, where's the pork? For $12 this was a bit underwhelming :( My wife's fish sandwich was wonderful but pricy at $14. They definitely use fresh veggies as the tomato on the sand which was fabulous. The kiddos were happy with their choices. Overall, decent food but spendy for what you get.

NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN! Upon entering my girlfriends and I were greeted by a woman behind the bar. We were told to seat ourselves. It was not a full house and there were only three tables occupied... So we chose to sit on a table that was interior but roadside. The woman behind the bar came by and flew some menus on our table in a pile, some were upside down, with no water, or mention of any specials. A few minutes pass and another party enters and sits on an adjacent table. They are promptly greeted and quickly served water by the same woman who was behind the bar when we entered. By this time, this waitress/woman has walked pass our table about 4 times and never acknowledged our presence since giving us menus... And we still don't have water. So we wait. The waitress walks by yet again and asks the adjacent table (who came in after us) for their order. UNBELIEVABLE!!! At this point it is very clear to us that TOURIST ARE TREATED WITH A PRIORITY AND THAT LOCAL LOOKING CUSTOMERS GET SUBPAR SERVICE, IF ANY AT ALL. It's a pity as we heard good things about the food but the service was so offensive we left. Sad to say I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone... Tourist OR Local!

Kristin W.

Though I've heard of this place and passed it a bunch, I've never stopped in. My husband and I were in the area for breakfast one day and decided to try it. I got a simple breakfast. Eggs, homemade sausage patties and papaya. I was told the sausage patties were really good, so I was excited. They tasted...fresh and ungreasy, but didn't have much flavor. I think I would get them again for some reason. Seems like a "healthier" option than spam maybe? Anyway, cool atmosphere and friendly staff. I might return for lunch or dinner someday.

This was our first stop on Kauai. We flew into a nasty storm, one that locals said they hadn't seen in years. We were hungry and thirsty and this was right by our hotel. Our server was very friendly. I ordered their special drink which was ginger lemonade. It was very refreshing and really hit the spot after our flight! My hubby ordered the Feral Pig burger, which was a blend of pork, beef with pork belly. He enjoyed it. I had the Feral Tacos, which were fresh corn tortillas with pork, beef and pork belly, along with a fresh salad. We really liked the freshness of all of our food. Both of our meals came with a special sauce which we really didn't like but in general our meals were great.

Really a great experience! Stopped for lunch after a long flight from Seattle and it felt like going to your best friend's house Cold drinks brought right away; server very kind to tired kiddos and even let my daughter take her plate outside where it was cooler. And the food was delish!! Island version of the Cuban is a must try. Homemade pickled too! All in all a great, comfy, tasty experience.

Well here we go , I had breakfast here during a network meeting, it was ok, the service was good but it just was so plain,I had the breakfast sandwich, I would go back and try lunch or dinner I heard there burgers are good!

My wife and I came here after landing for some lunch. This place is legit for the dead pig. We were very pleased, the pork is just to die for, very juicy. They have the most amazing bourbon Bleu cheese dressing. Hands down the best for lunch and some original recipe Mai tais.

April B.

Came here four times on our honeymoon, we loved it. It was really close to our hotel which made it convenient. We ordered the pork tacos which were amazing as well as the pancakes which were great too. I loved the bloody mary's too. Fun little place, nothing fancy but good food and close by the Marriot Beach Club. Two complaints: the banana bread french toast: Don't get it. First they served it completely cold so we sent it back and then it came back again cold but just in the middle. Weird. Second, they always seemed to run out of guacamole and salsa for the tacos. The tacos were a little bland with out them so they need to make sure they have enough salsa and guacamole every day. Overall though we loved it and loved hanging out there for brunch on our honeymoon!

Here in family vacation from NJ/Ohio and staying at the resort nearby...this place was AWESOME! Pulled pork sandwich was great...juicy and a great portion! Fries were crispy and not greasy! Everyone enjoyed their meals (kids too!)... Highly recommend to anyone reading!!!!
(5)
Serena P.

I've been to the restaurant three times. Dragged by friends last two times. Each time hoping it will be better than the last. The food is sub par. Maybe it's because I don't like pork and that's their main focus. My friends love their feral burger which isn't on the menu so ask about it. I ordered the fish and chips this time. The fries were soft. I like my fries more crispy. The batter kept falling off the fish and kept oily. The tarter sauce tasted like straight capers and the clam chowder that came with the meal had pork in it even tho it didn't say that and I don't eat pork. Overall the food is not every good. But the servers are always very nice even tho service is slow since their is one server for the whole restaurant. So they get three starts for the servers being genuine and nice. Otherwise two stars.

Jane V.

It was a good breakfast but nothing to write home about. My husband ordered the Blackened Ahi Eggs Benedict but they were out of Ahi. Heard several other people order it but had to order something else instead. My husband ordered the Cured Ham Benny. I must of not read the full description for mine. It was the Vegetarian. I thought it was an addition to the Ham Benny. It was good thought. They do not have any gluten free breads so I did not eat my English muffin. My husband said it was nice and soft. I overhead a gentlemen at a table behind me. He made a comment about his breakfast. Didn't seem to happy with it. I am not sure what he was having. The atmosphere is nothing special. It is a small space. The servers all young around 20. They all seemed to help each other and were friendly.

Brandon T.

Came here for lunch and it was so good!!! A friend recommended it and told us to get the Feral Burger. ohh my gosh, so freaking good! Great combinations of meats and sauce. I also asked if they could make me a specialty drink, in which they made it perfect and off the fly! One of the best meals we had on our cruise, hopefully I can make it back soon. The server was really nice and cool! Tip: If the feral burger is not on their menu, ask about it! It will be way worth it!

Very good the better of the meals we had in the area. Not sure if I enjoyed it because the choices around are so limited. The food was fresh the prices were reasonable and considering the rest of the area this is a step up!

Disappointing,! They were out of fish for tacos or fish and chips. Had the clam chowder which was generous with clams but too much pepper. Also out of sour dough bread... Seriously on Saturday evening? Had a BLT which was OK... Nothing outstanding.

James M.

Across from Anchor Cove in the Harbour Court Mall... HUGE menu and most welcoming people!! While we did NOT eat, we had the MANNA (from heaven?) brew on tap and with a tiny hint of pineapple...yum On to more locations, but fond memories of this place! Wish we had room for the Feral Pig Burger...looked outstanding!! NEXT Time?

Kryztle Y.

My sister and I love Eggs Benedict. When we ordered, We were prepared to get a thin slice of Canadian bacon and boy were we surprised! They make their own in house and it was delicious and filling! My husband ordered French toast and loved it so much that he ordered another side portion. Robert, our waiter, was very attentive and fun! Their Cobb salad is yummy and filling! I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

Craft beers, clever mixologists, and great dinner menu. I highly recommend the Feral burger - it's not listed on the menu but they always have it. This is my go-to last dinner stop with friends/family before they leave the island. Staff is always friendly. Even when they are super busy, they are working hard to keep you satisfied! Great casual place for groups. Good luck guys and see you soon!

For sure skip the overrated crowded spots nearby and grab an authentic Mai Tai (soooo good) at this place! Awesome fish tacos too! Both our bartender and server (Rachael) were super attentive and awesome!

A fun local spot - our zipline leaders recommended this as the best burger on the island. It sounded like their post-work hangout spot. We only had time to pick up food to go, but wished we could've stay (there was a bluegrass band playing live, & a lot of people were there having a good time). I wouldn't say the Feral Pig's burger was one of the best burgers I've had (though that's quite a high bar), but it's worth coming here if you're in Lihue and are looking for a meal. It seems more a place to go for the vibe than specifically the food. At about 4:30pm on a Sunday, we were able to call ahead to order a burger - it was ready in about 10 minutes but they were so busy at the bar it took us a bit to get our hands on the burger. They also didn't ask us how we wanted it cooked and it ended up being medium to well-done. * Feral Burger (off-menu item! Beef patty with pork belly) - 4 stars pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ up close: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ cross-section: yelp.com/biz_photos/the-â€¦ Very tasty, but be forewarned - it is also quite oily and rich, but still delicious. The fries are more on the soft side, with a thin layer of crisp, but I like them that way. They had good seasoning on them. Can't say much more than this - we were driving in a rush and I was being fed by my passenger!

Michael M.

After checking the other reviews, I went to go and try the feral moco for lunch. It is a breakfast only item but the super helpful and really beautiful bartender Mitch worked her magic and made it happen! I've had my share of loco moco's but this takes the tops. A perfect blend of fried rice, local feral burger, two thick slices of house cured pork belly, two eggs, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and gravy. Excellent food coma grindz.
(5)
Mindy P.

Amidst the profusion of rummy, fruit-drowned drinks in Hawaii, this place was an oasis to me. It's clear hat a mixologist runs the house, with embarrassingly affordable classic cocktails with premium liquor. His Manhattan was one of the best I've had and, being from Portland, that's a competitive game to play! In addition, their food was good. I had the vegetarian Benedict and the breakfast tacos, avoiding the overpriced, bland meals at the Marriott. Staff was friendly and music was good. I definitely recommend this place and will be back!

Heather L.

Now closed only a day or two ago, my husband and I ate there for a lighter dinner. Meal was good. Had the fish tacos and the pork belly appetizer. Slow service but nice people. Our waitress said that they were moving locations but didn't know where it would be. I think they were having troubles with the landlord or something.
(4)
Tony R.

The food is nothing to rave about, for sure. The service is subpar, and the "bar pours" are stingy ( to put it politely). This place really deserves NO local business. Now that Kalapaki Joes is no longer in the same complex in Nawiliwili, the parking lot has been 3/4 empty...and for good reason. This review applies to their lunch/dinner menu. If you want to take a chance on breakfast, up to you! I'd save my money. You'll get a boat load of their fries, but not much else on your place, no matter what you order. Pathetic Fish and Chips. Sorry, I have never given a Kauai eatery such a low rating, but this really borders on tourist trap/rip off country...
(1)
Charles A.

Pricey for a burger. 12 for the burger, 3 for fries or a salad, they even charged me $0.50 for a to go box. The burger itself was solid, a hamburger with with sliced pork on a roll covered with cheese. The burger itself was good to go for the experience, but not enough to go back again.
(2)
Ryan C.

Arrived on time and table was ready, only had two servers which made service slow. Took 30 minutes to get a drink and 2 hours to get food. Food was Ok, and overpriced. Website is good!! BUT half the food on web menu is not served in restraunt, server mentioned that it has been like that for over a year now. Most of my party was disappointed.
(1)
Heidi S.

Excellent burgers, beers, and unique libations. The french fries are to die for. However, if you are in the mood for a great breakfast, they are open early too. The location is just steps from Kalapaki Beach and walking distance from the cruises. If you are staying outside of Lihue, there is ample free parking in the lot of the attached shopping center.

Best Macademia Nut & Banana Pancakes in HI! Their coffee is always fresh, the servers are friendly, & the rest of the meals are just as tasty. This place rocks!

I've been in bars and restruant a in 47 states and if I could only go to one for the rest of my life this is it. Best Bloody Mary...ever! The staff was friendly, attentive and fun. Dave, the owner, has an amazing knowledge of mixology and liquor. Wings, fries, Feral Burger, eggs Benedict, fish tacos, all excellent. On the Drunkle Jim scale it gets the max 3 drink minimum rating. (After 3 you really don't want to go anywhere else!)

Jackie G.

Arrived hungry, left disappointed. I had high hopes for the menu, I got the vegevore omelet, the menu doesn't give you much information about it, I was expecting more vegetables, but all I got was cheese (not specified on the menu!) and a bunch of tomatoes, wilty lettuce and mushrooms. My boyfriend got the breakfast tacos and sadly they were cold. Out of avocado salsa, also not mentioned. One of the waiters was wearing a sweat soaked shirt and the owner didn't notice it was grossing out the customers. What's the point of being at your restaurant if your not going to manage it? We left full wanting to puke up our meal and go somewhere else.

Discovered this place via Yelp, and after dancing around with Mapquest, we arrived at what can best be described as a really big mall food court set up. I was leery, but we were all REALLY hungry after a day of body surfing on the west side, so we proceeded in to eat. It is a sit yourself kind of place, but the servers come check on you really quick. Just a heads up, sitting outside at night might SEEM like a good idea, but the near swarm of bugs drove us back inside. Not a knock on the business because this is a tropical place, just a warning. We had calamari, poke, and wings to start. All good. For main dinner we had the Sloppy Kalamaki, fish tacos, club sandwich, and an awesome off menu item, the Feral Burger. Only downer on this spread was the fish on the tacos was way over seasoned. Could have used much less spice and it would have still been taco worthy. Shame to have such awesome fresh local fish then completely cover the taste. Price was a little high but not as bad some places on the island. Overall, this is a good place to get some really good food with some great service.

I had the Feral Loco and it was AWESOME! The gravy was the best seasoned gravy ever and the homemade sausage patty of beef and pork was really good too. Oh and not to mention the home cured pork belly (bacon). Soooo Ono!

Bar atmosphere with some local music. Basic bar menu. chicken wings were good. I like them really crispy. The fish and chips was crispy but the fish that was used was just ok. Actually thought it was better than Duke's in some of the meals.

Went in for some fish tacos only to find they ran out of fish, at lunch time nonetheless. Then were extremely rude when we decided not to eat there as if it was our fault they didn't have any more fish. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Taylor W.

Craft beer and delicious burgers? Sold. Sit at the bar when you come, FAR more entertaining. The feral burger is a must order (it's off menu). The sliders are another great off menu option. With all the tourist traps around here, this is a great place with great food and fun people. Big fan, we'll be back!

Such a unique and friendly environment! The best hand-crafted drinks (try the Moscow Mule with sliced fresh ginger in a copper mug)! The chef, Dave C. creates some amazingly tasty dishes that are sure to have you coming back for more! Live Irish music by the band Whisky-O, is toe-tapping fun too!

Corey K.

I'll keep this short: We were very disappointed. The girlfriend described it as being on-par with Applebees. I think that's being too generous. The servers were very nice, but that's where the charm ends with this place. Details ... The place bills itself as being a "must experience" restaurant with great food and drinks. If you visit their website, you'd think you were going to the Cheers-like place that is run by a gastronomical genius. In actuality, the food and the drinks were weak. The food was uninspired and and all fried foods use the same oil (hence why there were burned calamari rings in our basket of fries). As for the drinks, they were weak and --get this-- they even managed to get a Mai tai wrong (they added Mudslide mix).

Came in here for breakfast before hitting up the beach. We were a group of 6 and we were seated right away. We tried a variety of breakfast food from Moco Loco to waffles. Everything was delicious. Even though it was before noon, we tried a few of their great beer selection. Beer was cold and also delicious. Definatley will be coming back.

Oh my goodness. This is all I have wanted since we got to the islands. A cocktail menu that separates itself from every other one over here. Hand mixed cocktails with something other than rum or vodka. The food was amazing. EVERYTHING is made from scratch, the Kalua pork is smokey and delicious. The homemade pickles are lightly marinated fresh cucumber, yummy. The service is fast friendly and efficient. We are coming back before we leave and if we ever come back it'll be our first stop.

Darlene B.

i LOVE that when I walked in the bartender said HELLO...and i said "hi!" and she said "uhmmm..i love your top, your whole outfit, you're adorable" and i said "Thanks!...i LOVE this place!" This place doesn't have great reviews to begin with, which makes me sad! Great customer service and awesome beer selection. If i was good with the Hawaiian words, then i would say what kind of beer I had. It was a hefe-like on tap...it was really good. Food is decent and cheap. i had Kalua Sloppy Joe..which essentially tasted like a pulled pork sandwich...very decent. I had a bite of the burger and their Feral Patty...pretty finger licking. Since I'm not a local in Kauai, I won't be able to try it again, but I'm glad I was able to. They had the NBA playoffs playing in the background so it was awesome.

Had a nice Sunday evening dinner there. There was even a live band playing Irish tunes. We enjoyed and shared a large Cobb Salad and an order of Fish and Chips. It's inside the Harbor building complex with an assortment of other restaurants. Parking lot with ticket validation.

Russell P.

A good option to get away from the marriot corporate scene and see something a little closer to kauai. Of course not as authentic as some wahini's backyard grill, but the right direction. Went for breakfast, service was average and food was the same. A little slow, but i would definitely go back again. Variety and taste of food was good and worth the price paid. There are a lot of food options within this quarter mile. If you see one with hardly any people inside and no locals. I would stay away. Staying safe for food doesn't mean you only can eat at the hotel either. Be adventurous, there are many good food options here in kauai

Melissa E.

Delicious food, lovely breakfast, and nice staff members. Another local place going out of business later this week. So sad...a chain restaurant is not the same. The local places provide service, use local ingredients, and provide the "Kauai" ambiance so lacking in the chain restaurants. Best wishes to the owner and staff in their new endeavors.

Quick Bite to be had on our way back to LA. Stopped for a burger at Feral Pig. Had the special Feral Burger: 50/50 grass fed Kauai beef patty and pork with Swiss, sautÃ© onions, pork belly strips and aioli on a taro bun with a side of house cut fries. One of the best burgers I have ever had!
(5)
Juliet S.

Despite its catchy name, this place is just that. The food and service was the worst I have had so far on the island. The feral burger was dry. The Cobb salad tasteless. They had run out of burger meat. No light above our table. So poor we couldn't believe it!

Jillian A.

Stopped here for lunch on our way to the airport. They are in a shopping center that offers free parking when validated so it was nice to not have to fight for street parking. Their menu is well priced and has a good selection of burgers and different small plates. Overall, this is a good place to stop if you need some time to kill or a good meal before a flight.

Annie S.

Not one bad thing comes to mind about this place. We stayed at the Kaua'i Marriott across the way so this was super convenient, not to mention, the food was amazing! I was definitely OOOOOVER all the tacos and burgers we were eating on the island, so the super chill and friendly server recommended the Ahi Salad. And wow.. I was not disappointed! It was so refreshing to eat something that didn't clog my arteries. Haha! My husband was torn between many items on the menu, but ultimately, ended up ordering the Feral Tacos. I did sneak a bite and was pleasantly surprised! So much flavor! We absolutely loved them. Huge portions, so my husband left with a box. Another plus: Great beer and wine menu compared to other places we visited during our vacation. We will definitely be visiting again during our next vacation!

It was great. Would come here again for sure. Just the special Feral burger. Don't mess with anything else!

Two words: Feral Tacos. My fiancÃ© and I wanted somewhere quick to eat as we were headed to the Lihue airport. We had just checked out of a nearby hotel and found this lovely little spot nearby. The menu had a relatively good range of food on it, but there was one dish that I simply couldn't pass up - the Feral Tacos. Meet upon meet upon meet. Absolutely delicious!! The salad that came with the tacos may have been a little heavy with the dressing, but I had also ordered a side of fries which got more of my attention when I wasn't scarfing down the tacos. Between the 2 tacos, the fries, and the few bites of the salad that I had I certainly didn't leave feeling like I wanted anything more. The staff were very friendly. Our waitress was quick to answer any questions that we had about the menu, was very attentive to our table as she knew we had a flight to catch, and was great at providing last minute directions to the airport (which turned out to only be about 5 minutes away).

Excellent breakfast! We had an omelette and the breakfast tacos with a couple of bloody Mary's & it was all SO GOOD!!! Very nice staff too!

Well, in my YELP opinion, pretty over rated. Maybe dinner is better, or breakfast. Lunch can be tough on the islands and a lot if people are out and about. The staff was friendly. How ever very slow. Server asked my wife if she wanted a refill on diet coke and it's been about 10 minutes. My table was so sticky on the side that my cell phone stuck to the edge and stayed there. I should have taken a picture with my wife's phone. Food wasn't great, want horrible either. The place's name would lead you to believe that they had traditional island style port offerings but the sloppy kalapecki or whatever seemed like the Jack Daniels shredded pork one gets from Costco in bulk. Again, wasn't bad but of the pork I had on my 10 day island vacation this was my least favorite. Fries which are ala cart limp but tasted good. Wife had a nice sized chicken breast and a avocado on her club. She liked it a lot. Fresh and tasted good . Only complaint was salad came WAY oily. They do validate your parking.

This restaurant was just a short walk from the Marriott so it was very convenient. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was laid back. But the food... Seriously, the plain buttermilk pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I've had in a while. The fork cut them like, well, like butter. The syrup was terrific and even the coffee was great. We try to visit different places when we travel, but we broke our rule and ate there our last morning as well. The Loco Moco and egg sandwich were just as good.

Sharon B.

Wow best burger ever! If you come to Kauai you gotta come to the Feral Pig and have the not on the menu Feral Pig Burger! It's a culinary delight with layers of yummy beginning with a Taro bun, add the hand mixed kobe beef and pork burger, white cheddar, special sauce and crispy pork belly and well it's yummy!!!!! Add the home fries and your set... This is a gotta go to!

Super Jill L.

Guinness on tap lured us in but the quality of food and friendly staff - and great music the first night - kept us coming back for more. The tomatoes are rich red all the way through and lettuce is healthy crispy green - and that's just the side salad... The tiki moco and fish tacos are both something worth dropping in for. We ended up going a handful of times including on my birthday for breakfast :) thank you guys for making such delicious nutritious food. I will be back for sure!! Mmmmmm

Bill L.

Breakfast at Da Feral... Yum! Had the Eggs Benedict ( their version ) and the in-house cured pork medallions were a welcome addition to the island effect of my meal. Definitely returning for a drink and snack before leaving Kauai. Friendly staff made the meal all the more enjoyable. Mahalo, Feral Pig!

Julie L.

This is one of our favorites on the island and close enough to the airport it's the perfect arrival/departure meal. Highly recommend the fish tacos and anything with their pork - whether an omelette or the sloppy pig sami. Perfect combo of slightly charred and still juicy. For breakfast the pancakes are absurdly huge and wonderfully fluffy - kiddos scarf them down. Added bonus - next door to a fantastic toy store (or maybe not a bonus, depending on your willpower). Only ding a star as the service can be pretty slow and the tables a tad...sticky. Note to management: please please please make Feral Piglet shirts for kids!!!!

Dave is an excellent cocktail man, and he runs an excellent establishment. His aviation is perfect, and his Hawaiian fried rice breakfast is sooooo good. Local flavor with an unexpected twist. Also? Real traditional live Irish music on a Sunday? This place is fun on vacation.

Mark S.

I was a regular here before, came back tonight for one of their burgers. They have always been real good, plus their fries are shoestring and gooood. Haven't been here in a while and they did raise their prices, but that's understandable. Let's see if the quality is still the same. ;) I recommend their bacon and blue cheese burger, or their Cobb salad.

A fun local hangout - we stopped in for some drinks while shopping off the cruise ship. Beermosa is delicious and make sure you try the local Kauai Beer Company on tap! My boyfriend got a bloody Mary that came with a slider and olives. Way too cool!

Great food, great service. Highly recommend the Feral Moco for breakfast. Definitely one of the best meals I've had on Kauai.

Jim V.

I had the breakfast sandwich here. The eggs are buffet style eggs, and disgusting. The taro brioche was tiny, not possibly capable of housing the egg-type product, day or two-old bacon, and cheese-type product. I set the bacon to the side as it was weird, and ate half of the other things with a fork. Taste was not good/normal

Dave the baretender was extremely friendly, knowledgable about craft beer. Great place to go when you're a little tired of castaway and big swell. Can't wait to go back for their rumored "best breakfast" on kauai.

I am okay with local spots and the lack of "tourist frills", but this place was downright yucky(havent used that word in a review yet) Cons: 1. Not sanitary. No soap in the bathroom...should have walked then. 2. No pride. Of the 8 open tables available when we arrived, all but 1 were covered with a mess. It was not busy, so I am not sure what the excuse was. 3. Strange, mediocre food. Clam chowder was a thick gravy concoction like i have never seen. It definitely had way too much flour and would have been ok over a biscuit, not as soup. I got the "special" feral burger. The only thing good on it was the slabs of pork belly(mega thick bacon). The meat was flavorless. Pros: 1. Mana Wheat bear on tap. Came in a frosty glass and surprisingly was perfect(temp, flavor, carb) 2. Fries were tasty. Seemed like fresh cut, and cooked just right. 3. Server was ok Soooo. If you are swinging by the place grab a cold one and a crispy plate of fries....make sure to sit at the bar because it seemed like the only place they kept clean. Bring hand sanitizer to clean up and you are good to go!

My husband and I stopped by one night to grab dinner while on our honeymoon. A few friends who live on the island had the Feral Pig on their list of "must visit" places. It was pretty empty when we went, because it was later in the day; though there was one other couple there. I couldn't decide what to order so the server shared that she liked to get a special dish... poke on rice with a creamy wasabi sauce. It was okay, but the fish was not as tasty/ fresh as I would've liked and there was just a bit too much mayo for my taste. I did appreciate their efforts to suggest something off menu to me though. Husband got a burger and loved it. Sometimes the classics are the best bet.

What happened to the feral pig??? this place really took a dive. Service was horrible and the food was terrible. We live on Kauai and I will never go back and will make sure to never send anyone there!! Just HORRIBLE

Robert the bartender took great care of us at the bar both nights we visited. He was attentive and fun. He made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere both nights was friendly and relaxing from all the staff. Drinks were great and unusual, good draft beer selection and great food. We mostly went for the drinks as it has a great small bar but we ended up eating too and liked our meals very much.

Rachelle W.

I am literally sitting in the restaurant so severely disappointed and wondering why I'm still trying to choke down one of the worst meals I've had in a really long time. I came here based on yelp reviews, a desire for the tiki moco, and the proximity to the Marriott. We arrived to find that they stop serving breakfast items at 12 (even though their website says 2) and that they are out of pork. The feral pig is out of pig, really? The waitress is nice enough, and explains that their chef recently left and they are undergoing some changes. I really hope the changes aren't so drastic as to move away from what earned this place so many good reviews before. Stick with what worked, and if your name is pig, keep a good stock of pig.

Jane M.

We stopped here for breakfast before catching a flight. We are vegetarians so we were skeptical because of the name of the restaurant. It turns out that they have GREAT veggie options. I had a vegetarian omelette and my mom had eggs Benedict with mushrooms, avocado and tomato. Both dishes were great! Ellie was our server and she was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend for breakfast and thank you to Ellie for making our experience memorable!

Tomas K.

Staff is great. Meet the owner Dave. Grab a micro brew or one of their over 20 bourbons. Then smash a locally sourced Feral Burger or salad. Amazing. If you don't come by here on your visit, you are truly missing out on a Kauai jewel of foodie heaven. Oh, and the Pork belly is crispy and to live for.

Karla D.

Came here to hear irish music on sunday afternoon. Very fun! Whiskey-O is a great group. Very talented!! Great voices, humor, violins, recorder, accordion and guitar. Just try to keep your foot from keeping the beat. Impossible! While here, the Sloppy Kalapaki was most juicy and delectable. House-smoked pulled pork, bbq sauce, coleslaw, whole-grain mustard and pickles on a bun. And the beer flowed. Great afternoon! Try it!!!

Sweet P.

My husband and I checked this place out for breakfast on our first day in Kauai. The server was awesome. She was so friendly and polite, and gave us great advice. Although the restaurant was out of Polynesian sweet bread (which I was really bummed about), the overall atmosphere and experience was great. Good prices, homey atmosphere, and happy employees. All we needed for a great breakfast!

Monica J.

Ok, this place was a gem!! We were going to another restaurant but we were redirected here. Boy, I am so glad! The Oktoberfest beer was great and Moscow mule was spot on. The fish and chips for the kids was fresh and the tartar sauce was yummy. Calamari was delicious and our feral burger was amazing!! Omg! It was a pork and beef burger topped with cheese, caramelized onions, and pork belly bacon on a fresh brioche bun. I highly recommend this burger! Great staff and fresh food. Food made with love!

A mediocre establishment that left me wanting more. This review is really about one item. The Banh Mi. I came here on mixed reviews of personal friends plus the generally positive yelp reviews. No one had mentioned the Banh Mi. Many recommended the feral burger, which in my opinion is passable and probably your best bet (maybe the breakfast is good as well). It's $12 and it's pretty decent sized, meat, sauteed onions, and cheese. It's your typical greasy manly burger without veggies. What this review is really about is the tragedy on their menu that they have the gumption to call a Banh Mi. What's worse, is they charged $12 for it. I was thinking to myself, "Oh sure, if they have this house cured pork belly, that should make a great banh mi, and at $12 it's gotta be loaded!" I was so wrong. I regret not taking a picture of the poor sickly sandwich as it was presented. Literally: two thin strips of bacon-like pork belly, a few leaves of cilantro, and alternating barely pickled carrot slices and cucumbers. There was almost nothing on it. This was all served on a decent sized sourdough roll (that really should have been a baguet, but in the whole scenario we are talking about this is the least of my concerns) without mayo or butter or anything. I don't complain at restaurants because I don't like spit, so that why I'm here on yelp. If you go to the Feral Pig. And I recommend you don't. Under no circumstances should you even consider ordering what you would expect to be a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. Stay far away from it. If you happen to run the Feral Pig and are reading this review, my recommendation is to either improve that sandwich to be worth the $12 you are charging and to have at least some level of meat and veggie content even if you don't use a baguet, or to do people a favor and to take it off the menu. If you work at the Feral Pig and someone orders a Banh Mi, do them a favor and say, "That sandwich is terrible and barely constitutes a meal, please try something else." Service was ok.

Stopped by for some drinks and football on a rainy afternoon, had a fantastic time! (We were heading for something else in the area that we were certain was going to be super touristy and way mediocre, and got distracted by this place... probably saved our afternoon). Food/Drinks - mostly, we just drank. Beers. They have a pretty good selection of beers on tap as well as some bottles of deliciousness. In the midst of drinking, we decided that we obviously needed the Feral Sliders (I don't think it's on the menu, but basically beef meets pork meets onions meets my piehole)... and some fries. Burger was pretty tasty (although a smidge ont he dry side), fries were perfect. Service - So this is really what won us over. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was awesome. Probably some of the best service we had on Kauai. Super friendly, knew his stuff, good times. At one point while we were there, a new bartender came in for her first day, and she was also super friendly and super helpful... on her first day... so... Oh, and we chatted with the owner a bit, and he was - yup, you guessed it - super friendly and helpful. In conclusion - great place to hang out, have a few drinks, and probably get a meal (again, we only had the sliders and some fries... but everything on the menu looked really good). Next time we're in town, we'll definitely plan for a meal there!

I read about this place in the Ultimate Kauai guide book. They said it was just short an ono due to service. I would say it was short due to everything. We tried last night (Thursday) at eight PM and they said the grill was closed so we ate at Rocco's Pizza. We tried the Pig again tonight again figuring they would stay open on a Friday. After waiting about ten minutes we finally got service and an order in. Ten minutes later we were told that there was no fish left. Of any kind. Half the menu is fish. Two of us were pescatarians so this was a problem. We had drinks by then so decided to stick it out. Pescatarians ordered just fries after some debate. 50 minutes later we finally got food. It was very dry, very bad, overcooked. I ordered the secret feral burger, we had a Cuban, and another burger. All were pretty bad to mediocre. Ketchup saved the day. Ketchup should never need to save anything. The Cuban was the smallest sliver of a sandwich I had ever seen. Very mediocre. The fries were stringy and very crispy to burnt. It's a style, yes, but not really a great style. We had one napkin between us all. Wtf? We couldn't get a server's attention for the rest of the night once the food was dropped off (not by the server). So we split the napkin up and I resorted to using the ice water in my glass to clean up while waiting for someone to bring the bill. The music and drinks were good (how can you screw up drinks, right? A fountain Coke was actually found wanting by one in our party, but it tasted fine to me ) . The food and service were pitiful. The whole party left to go eat at Duke's except me who waited to pay the bill and stare at half eaten meals. I finally got the bill, paid it and dashed. We were charged $15 for every sandwich even though the menu stated $12 for the Cuban and burgers. Apparently all sandwiches are Ã la carte and fries are $3.Which seems like a good price but if not for the quality... $3 for the aforementioned Coke. Wow. Drafts were $5 and the only thing worth having. Whatever. Just wanted out at that point. Will never go there again. Would never recommended this place. Seriously, it was like they had no idea how to really run a restaurant. Seemed pretty half-assed. A bar, maybe they could do that alright . A Public House or restaurant, they are far short of having skills necessary. They should remove the term Pub from the description because it is a failure. Bar, okay. Should have walked when they had no fish. Our bad. The Ultimate Kauai guide should downgrade them even more. In stark contrast, Duke's was very pleasant and the pescatarians got some nice fish and chips, right on the beach, with live music as well. We had resisted Duke's because it is so clichÃ©, but ultimately the service, the food and ambience kicked Feral Pig's pork butt. I understand trying to local source, making something interesting, but Feral Pig falls short of making it worth the money or the while. Stay away unless you just want drinks and expect no or bad food. We should have just gone to Duke's in the first place. If you just want drinks, maybe the Pig is okay. Caveat emptor!

So you sit down at The Feral Pig for breakfast, blinking the sleep out of your eyes, still thinking about the coffee place you saw on the way in. But your friends keep saying 'beermosa' and you don't think that'll jive well with coffee, so you wait. And you order a beermosa, then sip it while browsing through the menu... and wonder whether it's ruining regular mimosas for you. 'Feral' is in the name of the place, and you notice some 'feral' items on the menu - you've seen other people trying loco moco, you've had a bite, and you think maybe this is the right morning for a loco moco breakfast. Oh, tiki moco. Well that looks - ohhhh, 'feral' moco. Well okay. What is feral moca, you ask the waitress - turns out, it's fried rice and eggs and gravy and hamburger and pork belly, and you're sold, and you order it. And you finish off your beermosa. Would you like another beermosa? Of course you would. Breakfast turns out to be delicious. The loco moco is a giant meal, and you can't quite manage to finish it, but it'll make a gut-buster of a leftover snack for later, that's for sure. The pork belly is more on the drier crispier side - you've had it juicier elsewhere - but soaked in the gravy, everything on your plate has been pretty delectable. ... time passes. And somehow around dinner time, later that week, you're thinking about the feral burger. Other people have tried it, and they've urged you to do the same, and you have so little willpower to resist their suggestion. Back to The Feral Pig. Beers all around. Local brews, too, not mainland imports - everyone tries a sip of eachother's, and you all change your minds about what you're drinking next round. What does the guy sitting across from you think of his martini? He cautiously admits it's actually pretty good. Both of you secretly wish it had an olive or two, but keep it to yourself. And now your feral burger has arrived. You get right to work, chewing your way through the meat and the cheese and the pork belly and the everything - and come to the conclusion that a feral burger is basically the same as the feral loco, only with a bun instead of rice. And you're pretty okay with that. Another beer? Yeah why not.

Elizabeth S.

You're supposed to come for the Feral Burger. It's not on the menu, but the waiter/barkeep will always mention it. It's THE item to order. So how was it? It was a good burger. Worth traveling for? Not really. But there are quite a few beers on tap, and their homemade lemonade is nice, and it's a great stop if you're near the airport or in the Harbor Mall and want a hearty bite.

Khin O.

All the non-vegetarian items on the menu seem great. My friends had different ahi dishes that they enjoyed. However, my slice of banana bread french toast and "scrambled" (just fried really) eggs were not worth paying nearly the same price as their ahi. It was fairly dry and very dense.

Ingrid K.

An amazing bunch of people work at the Feral Pig, very friendly and helpful. The manager even mailed me my dad's favorite leather hat back to Oahu when he left it in the restaurant, legends! (that hat's been around the world, I can't tell you how much it meant for him to get it back, thank you!) We also ate their twice during our short stay in Kauai. The menu is eclectic and interesting, I managed to get my mum to try a couple of things she'd never tried before, which she really enjoyed. My dad also has a bunch of allergies (gluten, red meats, alcohol....etc) and we found a meal that he enjoyed so much he ordered the same thing when we went back. For those who say the service is a little slow, I'd agree, but you're on Hawaiian time when you're in Hawaii (especially Kauai) so it didn't bother me. I also think it's a sign that the food is being cooked with love rather than on a production line. Finding something out of the ordinary food-wise is more important to me, especially when it's so delicious! So overall, the experience we had at the Feral Pig was awesome, the food is interesting and tasty, and we'd definitely go back!

Magdalena N.

The Feral pig's service was not great they only had one waitress and the witness was stressed. We waited 20min for someone to take our order. I ordered french toast and she came up 10 minutes later saying they were out of French toast.

Chris L.

I feel like restaurant reviews in Hawaii should always be taken with a BIG grain of salt. Simply put, nobody comes to Hawaii for the food. I know that sounds snobbish but I've been lucky enough to live in Seattle and SF which are two of the best cities in America for eating out. I also freely admit to preferring food trucks and places where the food comes in a plastic basket to places with white tablecloths. I like good food but am hardly a gourmet. So that aside, the Feral Pig is the best food I've had in my three visits to Hawaii and the first place I'd go to if it were located in my hometown. The food was good, they had a decent selections of beer including a nice pale ale brewed in Lihue and the service was good. The menu is a bit limited and the usual bar fare of sandwiches but it's solidly executed and everything seemed fresh. I had the pulled pork sandwich and also a burger and both hit the spot. In a place not exactly teeming with great food choices the Feral Pig didn't disappoint.

Tiffani O.

Was recommended to this place by a local who raved about the burgers especially the Feral Burger (off the menu) and it didn't disappoint. The burgers are about an inch thick! My brother ordered the Feral Burger which is half ground beef and half ground pork and topped with cheese and pork belly. He loved it! I ordered a regular burger with a fried egg for an extra buck. Tasty all the way through. Others in our party ordered fish tacos and Kalua pork. They enjoyed it as well. Will be back!

First, for those of you whose Google directions may be unclear, it's in the mall. Come for the pork, stay for the cocktails. Or, just come for the cocktails. Or beer, which they also have a great selection of. So we started with dinner and some local beers on tap - their beer list highlights the beer which is actually brewed in Hawaii, which is nifty (non-locals will note that Kona is NOT one of the highlighted beers, lest you had any illusions...) The smoked pulled pork was fabulous, even though the smoke was incredibly subtle (barely noticeable, really). The feral burger was also quite good, though the pork belly on top was a bit on the tough side. The pork-mixed-in-hamburger was awesome though. But let's get to the cocktails. Best on the island. Hands down. They know their way around a serious cocktail bar, and you're in for a treat if Dave's back there (he's also one of the owners, I believe). He knows a ton of fantastic drinks from top-notch bars across the country along with all the best of the classics, and (unlike some more hipstery places you might experience) he likes to keep you entertained while me makes the drinks. I know, right? A fancy cocktail bartender who actually interacts with you and doesn't act like he's barely deigning to serve you? Crazy! But he mentioned that he considers that a big part of the Hawaiian style - actual service, and paying attention to the customer, not just making drinks. Which is cool. But seriously. Fantastic cocktails. Totally worth returning to.

Super nice bartender, very patient with us out of towners! I'm not sure of his name but he had big brown eyes and tattoos... We just stopped in for a beer so I can't comment on the food. Beers were plentiful and the beermosa was fabulous.. If your a fan of beers stop here:)

Greg V.

Had an excellent breakfast here. They cure their own meats and I had a very tasty eggs Benedict with fresh house made Hollandaise and house smoked pork belly. My three kids had pancakes, eggs and a breakfast burrito. Each really enjoyed their meal. My wife had banana bread French toast and it was tasty. All the items were excellent and the portions were nicely sized. Service was friendly and good. This is part of our regular rotation now when we stay at the Marriott Kauai and should be yours as well.

Brandon S.

Found this via yelp and was hyped to try some great food. If your going for anything besides the feral burger go somewhere else as it will not be worth the money. But the feral burger was exactly what was expected so 2 stars for that but everything else was basically grease and oil with over cooked food. TLDR: if your looking for a fat greasy burger to hit that itch get the feral besides that stay away!
(2)
JB R.

Breakfast was ok. I ordered the eggs Benedict, some serious pork there. The coffee was either old or over brewed, really acidic. No amount of sugar or cream could help it taste better. The kid fruit cup was $4, it was small and was mostly banana sprinkled with pineapple - surely they can do better than that!

The live music is great. Eat somewhere else. This place should not be on open table - when was the last time you made a reservation to drink beers at a pub and maybe eat bar food? Ordered pot stickers - which could have been great, but I'll never know because the malt vinegar(?!) that they were swimming in destroyed any possibility of tasting them. Wings were so salty I had to send them back. I never do that and I like salt and love wings. Feral burger was okay but also super salty. Pretty clear that the staff isn't tasting the dishes or have been instructed to use a lot of salt to "sell more drinks" - either way, yuck. If you find yourself in Kauai, you've spent enough money getting there, don't spend anymore on food here. Drinks - sure, go for it. The live music is great. Eat somewhere else.

Best pub food in the Kalapaki Beach area! We popped in here for a bite to eat on a Sunday night, and were greeted with the sound of live Irish music - turns out a band of locals, calling themselves Whiskey O, were playing. Rousing music, drawing a crowd that that made the place lively but also sort of hot and stuffy. Cold beer helped. The Feral Burger, not officially on the menu, seems the thing to order. Local Kauai beef with kalua pork and a special sauce with toppings (looking very similar to a bacon cheese burger with onions) that was absolutely delicious. I ordered it with a salad instead of fries, and the salad was also local, made with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. They offer breakfast, but we were never awake early enough to try it. However, if you want sandwiches and burgers with beer and Irish music to top it off, this is the place to be.

The only reason I gave this 3 stars is because the service wasn't great, but the food...delicious. We ordered the feral burger (not on the menu) and feral tacos. The feral burger is a mix of ground beef and pork and is outstanding with caramelized onions, some more pork on top and fresh pickles. It also comes with their signature sauce which I would ask for a side of next time. The burger is large and the sauce kind of gets lost. The tacos were delicious as well with ground beef, pork, avocado and their sauce. Back to the service. We sat outside and felt like we may have been forgotten about at times, but our waitress was really nice. I'd recommend this place for a nice and reasonably priced lunch or dinner.

This was our last meal before heading to Lihue to the airport! The pork belly/beef tacos were absolutely delicious!!!! Felt bad leaving any behind, nice portions! I would eat there again and definitely recommend!

Tasty food and friendly service. The usual breakfast fare of omelettes, pancakes and egg dishes, plus some local favorites. Coffee was also great.

Come hungry. A carnivore's delight! Great service, Cisco and Rachel were attentive and fun.

This place is amazing. Our waiter was awesome. food was phenomenal. There is no words to describe this place. everything that customer service and food/taste and price needs to be in order to have the 5 stars-they are. our waiter was knowledgeable on their menu, asked us what we liked/if we wanted to try something new. explained the different beers-asked what beers we normally drink-and his suggestions. food came our fast and was hot. tasted amazing. beers were yummy. waters refilled. I took his suggestions based on what i normally eat and I am so glad i did. We never had to ask him to come over, he checked up on us. next time i am on the island, I will be there in a heart beat.

I love my sloppy kalapaki! So delicious! After ziplining for the morning, it was the perfect lunch. Hit the spot. They are also really good hangover food. To help you live during the day. Our server was Robert, and he was cool. He was on it with the water and fun to joke around with. I love the lunch menu, but the breakfast menu looked good too. But I always go to my Sloppy Kalapaki.

Great food and an awesome bar tender. Francisco made me a drink, the flamingo, that is his own recipe and was tasty!

Killer pulled pork sandwiches with homemade pickles. Worth trying the pork belly and wings for appetizers, too. Seems to cater to both locals and tourists alike, which is always a good thing. Laid back, non- pretentious vibe.

This place was good with friendly staff. Conveniently located by the airport next to a bunch of small shops (good for souvenirs). They had better craft beer than any other place I saw on the island. Had a burger which was pretty good and the rest of our party had breakfast which they all enjoyed.

Amanda C.

So the reason why I give this place 3 stars is because of both the food and service. Stopped here because we were dying for some breakfast. I ordered the banana Mac nut pancakes and although they were good....once I got to the middle there was raw batter so it was an immediate turn off. The eggs were also the really watery so I'm guessing they were powdered.The host was really nice but took a while to take our orders. Bottom line is I wasn't really impressed.

Rachel the host is awesome. The food was unbelievable. The service great and relaxed. You are pretty much at home but you don't have to do dishes.

Great "Pub" atmosphere. It's nothing special but there is a standard pub bar and restaurant tables. They have good beer on tap and available. Several local options. We had the mana wheat and the big swell IPA. We also tried the Wailua wheat ale. It had a hint of pineapple. The food was fantastic. We had the feral tacos and they were amazing! They encouraged us to put Valentina hot sauce on them and it gave the perfect spice. We also had the fish and chips and they did not disappoint. Don't let the facade scare you, this place is great food at a good price.

Within minutes of entering the restaurant I am covered in mosquito bites. You can see them inside, all over the restaurant! It is very difficult to enjoy a dining experience while being eaten alive.

Anniversary lunch on da island. It was amazing. Kinda like Slaters 50/50 or. Hodads burger )California) I ordered feral tacos and salad came with it. My hubby ordered (off the menu) Feral burger and fries. Both were tasty. Tacos lighter. It was fun.

Darcy T.

Burger tasted a little fishy and the fries kinda sucked. Service was good, but I Wouldn't recommend the food.

Steven D.

Fish tacos were light on the fish, burger was way overdone and service was kind of slow. Not recommended if you want something good to eat. Head across the street for better burgers and up into Lihue for better fish tacos.

Vanessa Miracle B.

You know, I went here with a party of 6. They all seemed to really like it, but for some reason I was not a fan of this place. The beer was delicious, but even coors light will do the job (but 1 star for it anyway). I ordered their burger, forget the name. I just remember it not being that great to me & the fries were crispy which is really what I like, but these tasted like they were fried in really old & abused oil. Customer service gave em another star, but I wouldn't go back if I were to ever go to Kauai again.

Robert H.

This place is terrible and I can't believe they will be in business much longer. (1) Half the beers on tap are tapped. (2) I stopped in to have a Mauai IPA and made reservations for St Paddy's night dinner for 7 people. The bar manager said "great...see you then." We showed up for our reservation and the manager told us they don't take reservations and that we were out of luck. We left and had a good dinner elsewhere. Terrible service from a place with barely any beer. I would give it zero stars but Yelp says I have to give it at least one.
(1)
Deanna M.

I came here with moderate expectations as I have had a few friends tell me it was delicious. Customer service was terrible. The waitress barely spoke to me, and would not even look at me when she did speak. Not friendly and I certainly did not feel welcome. I ordered a tuna melt on sourdough. It tasted good...hence the 2nd star. It came with fries. The "fries" were a huge pile of the little tiny ones that no one wants. How is anyone supposed to eat that?? I could not even dip them in the ketchup without getting my fingers drenched. Ambiance was okay. Great rock music playing but it did not seem decorated at all. Smelled like a typical grungy bar. Yeah...I will not be going back.

Nick I.

Good food, beer selection, live music, and service. We will probably go back before we leave!

Megan L.

They warned us that the food was running 45 minutes, but we could get drinks immediately. Our drinks took 45 minutes (our server forgot, yet the place was not packed) and our appetizers came with our food. My ahi tuna was dry and overcooked, but my friends' said they had good burgers. Service was sad, place was dirty, stick with burgers if you go.
(2)
Karin S.

Keep in mind island prices- rib eye was cooked perfectly, side of mash good, greens a little bitter. Fish is delicious (watch for bones) and pork loin perfectly tender with blue cheese mash, yum. Kahlua Cuban sandwich was good and filling. Nice bottled beer selection, good drafts as well but they may run out.

Trish P.

i was pretty excited to eat here, and i wont lie - it was mostly b/c the name seemed interesting and cool.... but.... some things just dont live up to the hype. upon entering and being seated, our server was a little bit rude, and was not very knowledgeable about items on the menu, or beverage selections.... and i don't think she was new b/c the other girl servers seemed to be asking her questions like she was the one in charge of the shift that morning..... i decided to try the kalua pig hash with scrambled eggs. the food was pretty bland, and the plate presentation was pretty horrible. it looks like they literally just threw my food on the plate.... from across the room. for a place with such an interesting (and hopeful) name as "The Feral Pig" i was expecting more pork based foods, but they actually didn't have too much pork anything. they do however put kalua pig in several of their dishes, but that is about it. its also pretty hot in there, so try to come on a cooler day (if you even decide to eat here) b/c if not, you'll be sweating all over... we had a party of 10 people, and everyone said pretty much the same thing = bland and/or junk kine food. i should note however, some of our friends decided to go back for dinner (i'm thinking b/c it was close-by, NOT b/c it was good)... and they said dinner was way better than breakfast. that being said, don't get breakfast here! unless you like bland.....

Becky R.

For us, the concept of this place was in conflict with the execution of it. Came here because we saw a menu flyer someplace. Groovy vintage beverage menu. So impressed by the idea. Then the menu talks about resourcing local food. You had me at hello. Waitress was friendly enough. Ok, let's pause here. *if* then we added great food - I'd be raving. Sadly, the pork and cabbage was something regrettable - searching under cabbage for pork and then disappointing pork. The shrimp cilantro wontons were very very very thick dough-wise and burnt. It was eating a slab of deep friend dough. Even tried to nibble out the filling - just not all that tasty. I hope our experience was an outlier. I LOVE the ideas, but just not a 1 app, 2 beverage, 2 meal = $70 experience.

Dyan H.

I came for breakfast and sat outside. Not a good suggestion, I was a forgotten soul. Once I finally ordered, they were great with accommodating my request of substituting sausage instead of Canadian bacon on my eggs Benedict. (Not on the menu). My order was a bit messed up but corrected quickly by my server. Over all experience was ok.

Stopped in for lunch and had the pulled pork sandwich..... Delicious.... A local place... Low key with $5. Beers... They are super nice and friendly!!!!! Go for the food....and of course the beer

THE FERAL BURGER!! If you are taking a break from your diet...this is what you want to be your splurge meal. Seriously. A pork-beef patty, onions, cheese, and slices of pork belly make this burger one for the books. The homemade pickles and French fries make the meal complete. I don't think you'll find a burger to top this one on Kauai...or possibly anywhere in the whole state. It's not something you could eat everyday, but you must try it once! Since our burgers we're take out, I can't say much else about the restaurant, but the bar staff was very attentive and super friendly.

If you are staying in the Kauai Marriott Resort then you should not miss the opportunity to have breakfast at the Feral Pig. Walking distance, excellent food, and one third of the price that you will pay at the resort.

Excessively slow service. Had to get my own water. Advised waitress of family sitting adjacent to us... That no one helped them. It took almost 2 hours to get our food.

Jennifer W.

So we decided to give this place a try for lunch. My Kauai beef burger was made to perfection. House made pickles, excellent. The fries were really great, fresh cut and crispy. We also had the pulled pork sandwich and the Feral burger special. Pork was tasty. Only complaint the feral burger was over cooked. Quite a plethora of beers available on draft as well as in the bottle. Give this joint a go. Enjoy!

Steve R.

Looked good for breakfast this morning... As we ordered, the server asked us if we wanted "potatoes or hashbrowns" Really? What are hashbrowns? Rice? Then another brilliant non answer... Toast came. my wife asked if it was already buttered, since the was no butter at the table. We got a puzzled look as if WE were stupid. She had no idea about butter... which was finally resolved when another server passed by and brought us some. Funny, but when it came to bar drinks ordered at a nearby table, she was an EXPERT ! Food was average at best, sausage patty woefully under-seasoned.

Breakfast was decent. Food was good but not great. I hate overcooked bacon. If I was serving a guest bacon I know better to never, ever burn it and plate it. Service was slow for what appeared to be a well staffed restaurant.

Jessica S.

Great food!ate the Feral burger. Good portion of burger and fries. The fries are gluten free-NOTE they are cooked in same fryer as other gluten foods. Being intolerant I can handle that. Service was slow, was disappointed in that. They were not busy. Prices seem okay/fair. $14-fish/fries/claim chowder. $12- Feral burger/fries

Hugo G.

This restaurant is an up and comer. The menu has evolved and this place has the appearance of first real gastro pub in Kauai. A must is the ultimate bloody Mary it is out of this world and a meal worth having for breakfast. It come with a larger bloody Mary a slider, a bacon wraped Maui shrimp some olives and a pickle. For $15 it is the best I have ever had. And I have had plenty.
(4)
Christine O.

Tried this place out and we were not disappointed! We ordered three items: the breakfast sandwich, a side of banana French toast, and the breakfast tacos. All of them were just as expected, and even more! We really enjoyed our meal. My one caution is that the breakfast sandwich was really, really greasy. It was incredibly good but the grease was pooling on the plate and ran down my hand with each bite. I ate the entire thing and loved it, but thought I would mention it for anyone who it may bother. Tacos and banana toast were mm mmmmm good!

Julie F.

The signature Feral Pig burger will haunt my dreams. It was that good. This is a new must-stop for us for future Kauai trips - Land in Lihue, rent car, eat at The Feral Pig, go to condo. We almost forwent the fries out of virtue but the waitress stopped us. It takes four days to make these fries, she said. They are soaked and then twice-fried. They actually taste like potatoes. She was right. I am ruined. No other french fry will ever measure up again. Friendly, helpful staff. Great drink options. Locally-sourced meat and veggies. Love.

Elizabeth M.

This was probably my husband's favorite place to eat during our honeymoon. He was so excited about the Feral Burger - he practically licked his plate! The burger was juicy and the flavors went together perfectly. I stuck with a salad, and jealously listened to him go on and on about his burger! We had lunch here, with drinks, and walked out paying about $35! Great price and delicious food.

Found this place while driving around looking for breakfast on a Monday morning. A lot of businesses aren't open on Monday so this was a "thank god" moment for us. My boyfriend who has been to Hawaii before was craving a loco moco - it was exactly what he wanted and ate the whole thing. I had the feral moco and it was DELICIOUS and it was a ton of food. The fried rice and cheese were my favorite differences.

Close to the airport, amazing tasty beer selection, reasonably priced local ingredients, great service, tasty fish tacos and burgers plus free parking. What is not to like!

Patrick R.

The food was good but the service was horrible. The feral moco was delicious. My wife had the kalua pork hash and said it was bland. The service was no good, I ordered a drink that sat on the bar for thirty minutes, and our server completely ignored us. Go somewhere else.

Sarah G.

Really unimpressed. The place was dirty. The service was not friendly and slow. We came for the breakfast and everyone of us left still hungry. I couldn't believe how small the portions were.

Kristin R.

After looking at their menu and website, I had high expectations for the Feral Pig. We stopped in one morning for breakfast after an awesome helicopter ride over Kauai. Upon entering, we were a little disappointed this was more of a pub in a mall than the simple restaurant we were hoping for. It's cool, though...our first server was so nice and attentive. He answered all of our questions and helped us order gluten free. I had the kahlua pig omelette with a gluten free biscuit. The omelette was so greasy I could barely eat half. The biscuit was dense, but its to be expected with gf. My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito over greens instead of in the wrap, which he said was much less greasy than my eggs, but still not great. Our servers switched halfway through the meal and the waitress that picked us up was a bit hard to wrangle, so we waited a while for the missed order of hash browns, the check and payment. Because of the experience, we decided not to visit for dinner, but judging by reviews, that might be the best time to go.

Gabby L.

Went here a couple days ago with my boyfriend for breakfast. The service was speedy and everyone was so friendly. I ended up getting the biscuits and gravy. It was ok not the best, but the feral party moko they have is amazing. It also looked like they had a good selection of beer. I will for sure come back here next time I am on Kauai and order beer and maybe the feral burger. Chill atmosphere and very nice staff. :)

Stacy S.

I came in for a late night snack and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu. Usually, at places that are used to having tourists you end up having to hold that greasy plasticy menu with generic food pictures on it. The Feral Pig has the kind if menu I am used to seeing being from Los Angeles. Simply printed and so many yummy options. I had a pork sandwich which was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. Would definitely have it again. Craft beer selection was great!
(5)
Shana K.

Order "the special" and a local beer on tap. You won't be disappointed. This place is very laid back and a great first stop after landing on Kauai. Depending on the time of day, parking can be an issue, but it's completely worth it to find a spot and wander in. The wait staff is helpful in telling you about the different beers and anything on the menu. Come in and relax. You'll feel comfortable and right at home.

Ryan C.

This was the first place we tried when we came into Kauai. We wanted to get a beer and some food so we tried it out. Our waiter literally seemed like he knew nothing about the menu. When we asked what beers they had he listed the types, not brands. My sister got fish tacos and asked for no dairy on hers, then our waiter comes back and says he wont use flour tortillas because she cant have dairy. Yes, our waiter thought there was dairy in a flour tortilla. Perhaps stick behind the bar and learn the beers instead of serving bro. Next we ordered the special burger and some fish tacos. I asked for avocado on my burger and the manager (who was sitting at the bar the whole time) comes up and tells us they are not ripe yet. And yet you have them on the menu.....in a restaurant.... The burger wasn't bad. Had some good flavors. The fish tacos had NO flavor. Pretty awful. I probably wouldn't come back to the feral pig. There is dairy in pig right?

Tiffany A.

I live on Kauai and have visited this restaurant numerous times. I never write reviews. This is actually my girlfriends account, but the owners of Feral Pig need to know how bad their service is. Every time we go there we are very disappointed with the service. Last night we were one of two tables in the whole restaurant, and it was like an act of God to get a second beer. Not to mention the waitress was rude when she finally came back to the table. We keep on trying to give this place a chance, but we won't return until they can get better service. Too bad, because they do have an excellent beer selection.

Anyone who knows me, or that has read my reviews, knows that I take my food seriously. I didn't pack on 75 pounds while only growing two inches since high school by watching the food truck drive by. So when someone says this is the best cheeseburger you will ever have, well, that's a bold statement that warrants some research. Which brings us to the Feral Pig. (By the way, folks at the Feral, if you are reading this and Nick at Kauai Outfitters is not on your payroll, he should be). Of course I ordered the Feral Burger (an off the menu item) while the bride opted for the tuna melt. Of course she said the tuna melt was delicious because it was made with fresh tuna this being Kauai and all, yada yada yada. To be fair, I had a bite and it was really good. But the Feral Burger is what brought me here. Half fresh ground Kauai beef, half ground in-house smoked pork shoulder topped with caramelized onions, proprietary aioli, pork belly and melted cheddar cheese served up on a Hawaiian sweet roll with house made twice fried fries. Mmmm...yeah, I'm having a moment here. It was THAT good. Best cheeseburger ever? Well, seems kind of unfair to put all cheeseburgers in the same category, but best I can remember having? You bet. All ingredients and even most brews locally sourced, free parking and a friendly and attentive staff make this a must stop on your way in our out from the airport or as you are exploring the island.

It was a Monday night, around 7:30pm. We sat and ordered two meals and a beer. It took literally 1 hour to get our food. And it was alright, nothing great. The waiters were nice but no one came to us to say hey it's going to take a while... nothing. I mean I know no one is in a rush here in Hawaii, but 1 HOUR wait for the burgers? Come on!

Oddly enough, this is a great place to go for a good Mai Tai. They make a nice from-scratch drink in the Trader Vic's style (no Bacardi or OJ/pineapple juice here!) They make their own orgeat, which is always a good sign. They're maybe slightly heavy-handed with it, but it's a fine drink and they're consistent among different bartenders. They also have a very good beer selection. Not too many taps, but well utilized with good variety. They carry local beers, including from Kauai Beer Co. up the street, which is really nice. It was sad that so few bars/restaurants offer a decent variety of locally made beers. The food was pretty good on both our visits, sandwiches were fine, fries were pretty good, and the jerk chicken was nice and spicy. On our two visits the service was also very good. Our servers were polite, friendly, and competent and gave us just the right amount of attention. No complaints. The decor was more stark than we expected, but it was clean. With decent food, a good beer selection, and impressive Mai Tais, we don't much care what it looks like. We'll be back next time!

Really yummy place for dinner. Had dinner here last night with a couple of friends after getting no service at the place upstairs. Friendly waitress, who provided great service! Had fish tacos and it was yummy! Good portion sizes as well. Hubby got the feral burger and he liked it. Good beet selection with fair prices. Will recommend!

My wife and I were staying at a hotel near the Feral Pig last week, several days into our trip we dropped into the Feral Pig for lunch. Then we went for breakfast the next day. And the next. The food was very well prepared and except for the mocos [which would harden your arteries by looking at them] seemed to be made with fresh healthy food [mostly] in mind. The managers Francisco and Robert were great hosts. If you are staying in Lihue get out of your high priced hotel restaurant and go to the Pig!!!
(5)
Debbie M.

The ferel burger isn't what it used to be. Lacked in flavor and seasoning and definitely small compared to when we were here last year but now it is not worth the $12 they're charging for a mediocre burger. Calamari was good. Service was excellent.

Kev T.

Read a lot of good things about the Feral burger, and decided to drop in two days ago to try it out. Meh....it was okay. An okay burger, a little less in quality than one you can get from Teddy's. Entered the establishment and it was perhaps 2/3's full. No host/hostess, so I ambled up to a waitress and asked where I should sit, she said anywhere so I grabbed a table. Didn't appear to be busy, but waited perhaps 10 minutes before a waitress came by and I gave her my order for a Feral burger. As an aside, in regards to the wait help, quite a few of them had this concerned look on their faces, what appeared to be a manager was sitting at a table near the bar with stacks of bills/tickets in front of him, and appeared to be adding up the take. Wait help would stop by and talk in terse tones to the guy. In any case, my burger came out quite quickly. The plate consisted of two pickles on the side, the Feral burger itself, and a handful of fries. Pickles-they're pickles. Nuff said. Feral burger--I had read here about the burger being comprised of half pork shoulder and half beef, and so I was expecting a juicer burger due to the presumably fattier pork meat, unfortunately it wasn't. Perhaps it was the papa`a/koge (well done) condition of the patty itself, but I was expecting it to be much juicier. The dryness was helped by a sort of Outback Bloomin Onion like aioli/sauce, and the cheese which had melted wonderfully into a gooey substance. The bacon, well let's face it, bacon will make everything taste better. The bun appeared to be a standard circular role with a sweet note to it, fluffy on the inside and firmer on the outer shell. All in all, it was a good burger. Fries--shoestring type. The appeared to be a little dessicated, perhaps because of their thinness they had been left in the fryer a little too long and had turned into chips rather than fries. When I tried one, I got the "I've been fried a while ago and been sitting under a hot lamp waiting to be served taste." You know that sort of stale one you get from a fry that has been served past it's shelf life. Don't get me wrong, it was an okay meal and I would go back to try the other dishes. Maybe I just went on the wrong day.

Jennifer F.

Had to try this place because of the name. Nice atmosphere. Great for football watching. I had a strong lager with a pineapple twist. It was really nice. I'm a light weight, so one beer did it for me. My husband had the whiskey special drink, and he enjoyed it. For my meal, I had the burger. Cooked perfectly and made to order. The fries were just how I like as well. If you are looking for a good lunch to watch the game by, this place might work for you.

Jason P.

Wow...I don't eat burgers very often, but this is how you make them. All local produce, house made sauce, taro bun, and amazing burgers. The fries and Aloha Beer were a nice compliment. Since I don't usually eat burgers I guess I can't really compare this to anything but still, I craved it again and again the whole week. Not really a place to socialize though. Just a get, get out and eat a lot kinda place....but that's just me.

In resort town you expect resort eating establishments! These come with beautiful settings, lovely food elegantly displayed, and servers at your beck and call! Naturally, you pay with sticker shock that could wake the dead! But hey, you don't just eat at those places, you pay for the experience! That's not what The Feral Pig is all about. Located in strip mall of sorts, with a bevy of restaurants, shops, and who knows what, the Feral Pig is just wholesome cafe food. Don't come here looking for resort dinning...you won't find it! The Feral Pig has a bit of an edge: The tables and chairs are down to earth, the decor is modest at best, and the waitresses have more artistic tattoos than I've seen in a very long time! If you don't mind all that (and I don't mind) do come to The Feral Pig for the food! I ordered the Kahlua pig omelet and I was not disappointed! The portions were good, the service was fine, and the price was reasonable. Heck, our waitress was even convivial! No, this place is a nice alternative to the "gouge city" bill of fare to found elsewhere!

Dope local spot with great food! Try the Feral burger. It's not on the menu but it's 1/2 boar 1/2 grass-fed beef and 100% Ono!!! Best burger spot on da island for sure.

Josh C.

Great service here, and good food as well. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful with our wild son. She also changed up the dishes to give us exactly what we wanted. Really a very high level if service. The food was good, and the ingredients were high quality. We asked about where they get their meats from and they are actively trying to source local organic ingredients, which we really look for. We were there for breakfast, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good breakfast in a nice environment with great service.

Just crushed two blackened fish tacos, taro chips and dip, and some killer Mai Tais. Great service, good food and nice portions. It's a quiet spot with strong, authentic cocktails and some killer fish. Loved it.

We visited the feral pig on a Saturday afternoon for a late breakfast/lunch. Service was a bit slow initially, but once our servers arrived, they were warm and friendly. My wife ordered the Sloppy Kalapaki. I was close to ordering a standard Hawaiian breakfast of fried rice, eggs over easy, and spam, but our server persuaded me to order an "off-menu" item called the Feral Burger. The sloppy kalapaki was a fairly standard BBQ-ish sandwich with shredded pork. It was a solid sandwich with good flavor, the BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering and it was a decent size. The feral burger was a mixture of pork-beef, bacon, and cheddar. It's the best burger I've had yet on Kau'ai. The combination of flavors was a pleasant surprise. Both sandwiches came with fries that were too crispy and tasted more like charred crisps than real fries, but the sandwiches compensated for the lack in the fries department. Worth a trip if you're in the mood for a good burger/sandwich.

Rebecca S.

We ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and a Cobb salad. They had run out of avocado at 5:30pm (come on guys, send someone to the store to pick a few up). The decor was worn and sad. The fries were so cold and soggy we had to ask them to make fresh ones. Service was good though. Over-priced and average food. We wouldn't return if we came back to Kauai.

In Lihue there's not much options for breakfast. But this place does a decent breakfast. I got the house made sausage, egg, waffle plate. The waffle was excellent, nice and crispy but not overly so. The sausage were pretty mild tasting but I appreciate that the make their own. Coffee was also pretty good. Next trip I want to try their feral local moco that people seem to be mentioning. I also like the fact that they have a bar and I can order a bloody mary for breakfast.

Probably should have ordered a burger. The fish and chips should be avoided. They treat the fish like a chicken tender and fry it in so dense awful breading. I picked the nice white fish out. The fries are great but like other reviewers I got a few fries and about a 100 bottom of the barrel fry bits. Service was very nice. Would I go back? Not a chance

Oahu friends this place is not to be missed as one of the owners tended bar at the fabulous TOWN and is exceptional.

First time for trying this place and we really enjoyed it. A little pricey but worth the try and we'll be back. We ordered the feral loco moco, eggs benedict with canadian bacon, and banana bread French toast. The French toast was a little too sweet for me but my mom loved it. I enjoyed the lemony hollandaise sauce.

Tucked away in a little shopping center is this gem, The feral pig! Those from Oahu should know the feral pig is "friends" with Town in Kaimuki! If you like the fresh ingredients at town you will love it here. Everything here is sourced locally. Had the signature burger and fries, must admit I went to lard heaven! I could feel my blood vessels tighten with delight. They serve a great bloody mary and local beer here as well. The breakfast was pretty good too! Eggs with house made pork hash or breakfast burrito are excellent breakfast choices!

It's a pub that serves good food. Friendly but rather slow service. Came here at 8'ish on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy. Great selection of local beer. Yes to the feral burger! (not on the menu) I will order this again and again and again. Fries were teeny tiny and not very tasty. And no to the fish tacos (what was I thinking?!).

My hubby and friend liked this restaurant for lunch. It was lunch time so we sat ourselves and we eventually got serviced. The guys had a beer with their cubano sandwiches which they liked. This cubano is made with kalua pork. I had the pblt. I have not had pork belly before and so I was hoping it would taste better than bacon. It tasted like a thicker slice of bacon. The parking situation at this location is tight and you might have to park in the back since there is no street parking. If you like sandwiches, I would suggest this place to try while on Kauai, it's reasonable and the food is pretty good.

Waffle was so hard I couldn't cut through it. French toast was sub par. Kalua pork with rice was lacking without the cabbage. Pancake was okay. Poached egg had a weird sour taste. Portuguese sausage was the only good thing. Server was inattentive. I will post a pic of the fort I built out of my "waffle."

This place has mixed reviews so I wasn't sure what to think, but I ended up really liking it. The food was delish and the beer selection was good! They make a beer mosa, which I didn't try, but will have to my next visit. The portion sizes are good. The waitress was great, very friendly. It's a great place to stop for lunch!

Chris B.

Portions are relatively small. $3 for small fries or salad seems excessive. Service leaves a bit to be desired, even though the staff is friendly

The Vegetarian Benedict was the best Benedict I have ever had. It had island grown grilled egg plant, seasoned tomato, and a thick wedge of buttery avocado. The hashed browns were freshly grated and fried. What a treat!

I had an awesome experience while eating here. My waitress named Rachael could not have been a better server. She is hilarious. Great local bar, will def be back again.

While back on Kauai, I went to the Feral Pig after going to Nawiliwili on a Monday afternoon wanting to try something besides the usual local fare. Despite being located at the Anchor Cove shopping center near Kalapaki Bay, the restaurant unfortunately doesn't have the best views as the windows face the road. I thought with a name like "The Feral Pig," there would be little touches in the dÃ©cor to go with the name, but disappointingly there weren't many (other than a little statue-like thingy near the front). Instead, it looked pretty much like the previous restaurants that occupied the space (one of which was a Japanese restaurant) with the addition of another big screen TV. Upon arriving, a bartender greeted my mom and me and had us sit where we wanted. It took a while before our waitress took our order (it took about 5 minutes before we were served water); but other than that, the service was smooth. We asked if we could order appetizers from the dinner menu and fortunately were able to. So we started with a pupu platter (normally with crab wontons, breaded calamari, and some wings) but the waitress recommended that we replace the wings with something else so we replaced it with more calamari and I felt it was a good decision. On top of that, I ordered "the Feral Burger" which is a pork and beef burger, topped with cheddar cheese, sautÃ©ed onions, a special burger sauce and two slices of their special thick cut bacon and a strawberry smoothie which wasn't worth the $4. However, the burger was quite good: the patty was tender and delicious and the toppings complemented it very well, although their special bacon didn't taste all too great or special and the fries were quite lacking. All in all, a pretty good meal, although nothing too special (especially for the prices paid). It's worth going if you're in the area.

Our server was awesome, the Bloody Mary and beermosa were amazing, and the Feral Moco ridiculous. What a way to start the day!

great feral burger (order it...its not on the menu). They really know their cocktails and beer here too. The food is good, and they try to do local sources as much as possible( even tried kauai beer !) Also had breakfast here which was yummy. very casual place with good food and drinks and staff that care... Parking is validated so don't worry about the pay lot.

Logan N.

The Feral Pig burger is the best burger I have ever had hands down. Half pork should half kauai beef with pork belly strip and grilled onions. It is very large and you will crave another because it is so good.

Kaleb A.

I seriously cannot be happier with a burger than at this place. I bring all my friends here for the feral burger. I even bought two t shirts for guests that stayed at our rental home because they told me about this awesome place. I even met the owner and the next time we came by he hooked us up with a vegan friendly meal. Such a great bar and grill. Oh yeah Guinness on tap.

Rick G.

BIG BURGERS! The namesake burger is huge, tasty and filling. The fries are string potato fries and are good. Several tap beers, including a local IPA that is excellent. Decor is OK. Looked like a bunch of Annie Leibovitz photos on the walls.

ZERO SERVICE FOR OVER 15 HUNGRY MINUTES. My wife and I had been looking forward to going here for a few days and excited to try something different. The reviews were decent and we were saving ourselves for the banana bread french toast. Upon arrival we were told to sit wherever we liked and chose a window spot. For the following quarter hour leading to our departure, we were seemingly ignored and never greeted nor checked upon. We must've done something wrong??? We were excited to have a new go-to island arrival spot, but it unfortunately won't have anything to do with special burgers or beer-mosas. Hopefully this will help future patrons and the service provider alike. On a good note, we ended up with great service and a breakfast we'd been wanting (and a great view) right across the street at Bamboo Grill and Sushi. Although we seem to be in the minority after checking over previous reviews, we will never consider going here again or recommending it to friends and family.

Chill atmosphere, local beer on tap, and you MUST try the Feral Burger. It's not on menu, just ask for it. Great fries too! 5 stars for me

El H.

Got a table right away but no server. Finally 20 minutes after sitting down, we flagged someone down and got menus. We watched lots of other groups come and go because they were ignored too. Regulars seemed to be ok but not first timers like us. The place was filthy and our table was crawling with ants. An hour later, the server comes back to "verify" our order. Total bs because how long does it take to make a Cobb salad and a Philly cheesesteak? Hmmm. Not planning to come here anymore.
(1)
Becky R.

Service was atrocious. I think specifically our server because I overheard another and she was much better. Food was decent. I had Kahlua pork omelette. It was good but really just a bed of pork with a scrambled egg on top. Not very omelette-like. My friend had the pork hash and said that it was good. Overall I liked the menu just had such a terrible service experience.

Everything was very good. The feral burger which is not on the menu is great!! A total local hang out which is a good review on it's own.

Scott L.

My wife and I have eaten here twice this week (3rd week of Oct 2013) for breakfast. I highly recommend it. The food is flavorful and fresh. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. My only suggestion to the restaurant is to make the presentation of the food a little better: Include a slice of fruit for garnish, the plate is a little plain looking. Our waitress was helpful and gave suggestions of where to go hiking.

Mary N.

Wow, too bad the zoning is so strange in this complex. Right smack dab on the road, and they can't use the patio on the courtyard? Whatever. We got the feral hamburger. The concept is good, but the salt content is over the top. (I don't think I have EVER said that... Seriously, ask my sister.) I was going to give this a three, but I gotta take it to a 2. If the food had been less salty, or the patio better, I could do three, but I am calling it a 2.

Ahonui B.

Locally-sourced food (well, mostly, anyway)? CHECK! Awesome, classically-trained bartender who knows a) every recipe you could think of b) the history behind each, and c) stocks Ricard pastis? CHECK! Laid-back vibe? CHECK I've had a lot of the food here. The fish tacos are yummy, but my favorite are the sliders. They're not on the menu, so hopefully they exist when you visit. They're half Kaua'i-grown beef, and half pork with caramelized onions & aÃ¯oli on taro buns. Juicy & just perfect to split between two people. The fish & chips are also good. And they make their fries from scratch. Like, they cut them from real potatoes scratch. I'll be honest. It took them a while to master it, but they've got it DOWN.

Aaron K.

yay, I am a fan. We ate here twice during our stay on Kauai and were pleased both times. We also recommend the Feral Burger. It now seems to be their permanent special. We also got their salads which were obviously purchased locally and were equally delicious. They have a great assortment of beers as well. It's more like a local bar w/ food, but it's way better than your average pub food. We loved both meals there, so I can't help but give it all 5 stars. Best food in Lihue we found...

I Had the eggs Benedict this morning being my favorite breakfast I know a thing or two about it. The lemon in the hollandaise was overpowering, the "ham" which was an inch thick tasted of pork chop and tires, and was for some reason crusted. Just imagine biting through a lemon peal into a crunchy tire. I was left very disappointed and could not finish more than two bites of this soggy unbalanced dish.

This place seems like it should be on Diners Drive ins n Dives from the food network. Cool local place. They're burgers are ground with pork and beef. Super tasty. If you are in the area stop in for a burger for sure.

MaryE W.

We went for midmorning breakfast on a Wednesday. The service couldn't have been friendlier and more accommodating (they're okay with some off-menu ordering). The fruit, yogurt, and granola was the best we've had around Kauai, and the banana-macadamia nut pancake was also delicious. No fancy espresso drinks, but they pour the coffee liberally. Easy parking.

Duane H.

when I go to the islands I always ask around and try to find the best mai tais. Been doing this for decades. I'm usually lucky if I can find one A-grade mai tai per visit. I found one here. Truly old-school 1940s style. Nothing like the fruity syrupy concoctions you get on the mainland. Plus they served an awesome Kalua pork plate. Service was a little slow but being on island time it didn't much matter. The only reason I found this place was because it was recommended by a local bartender.

Great place for a burger before embarking back on the NCL cruise, get the Feral Burger, not on the menu, and order a draft beer to go.
(5)
Ben L.

Not sure why this place doesn't have a better rating... The food was good (not the best burger I've had, but definitely not bad, I'll try something else next time), the beer was great! The service was fantastic. Our server, Cisco, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. It was a great first lunch in Kauai!
(4)
Agnes K.

Oh, Feral Burger! It's juicy, yummy, tasty. It's pork, it's beef, it's.... I can't speak to much else there because both my partner and I ordered the feral burger after talking to a few locals, all of whom recommended we come to the Feral Pig to have the Feral Burger, which is not listed on their menu. It's half beef, half pork, topped with caramelized onions, pork belly.... the juice is dripping of the burger as you raise it to your mouth. It's perfectly done, and Oh. So. Good. If you're looking for a good burger out there, it's highly recommended.

Reid I.

Went here for breakfast but by the time we got here was more like lunch. The waiter said we could order from the breakfast menus if we wanted to. I was contemplating on either a Sirloin with fried rice or a loco moco. But when I saw the breakfast menu I decided on the Feral Moco suggested by the waiter. It was a half beef/half pork patty over fried rice topped with melted cheddar cheese, bacon, 2 over medium eggs and gravy all over. I was thinking minus the cheddar cheese because I couldn't imagine a loco moco with cheese on top. It was indeed delicious with all the blended flavors. The burst of flavors worked together. The patty wasn't tender like a hamburger steak, I'm assuming because of the pork mix. My girlfriend ordered the banana bread french toast. She said it was really sweet and didn't need syrup. I don't think she enjoyed it as she only ate 1 of the 2. I would come here again.

Lida J.

Owners and staff are fantastic. Be sure to say hello and chat for a bit. Delicious food, especially pulled pork and house made pickles, and wonderful cocktails. The good creative kind, so let them come up with something that works for you. Closes early so get in before 9pm. Much more like a gastropub versus a typical tourist joint. Lots of locals is always a good sign.
(5)
Brent C.

Feral Burger is solid. Excellent in many ways. I would find a different bun; however, it's very tasty, and worth your money. The house-cured "pork belly" truly brings it together. Very pleasing servers. A good choice for daytime eats in Lihue.
(4)
Melissa N.

A Must do place to eat! Their special is the Feral Burger- makes any other "burger" pale in comparison. Pork and beef blend turned into magic with pork belly BACON, with a thick slice of cheddar cheese and topped off magically with their home made aioli sauce. You won't see it on the menu- just ask for the Feral Burger you won't ever regret it.

Tiffany C.

Went here for lunch after reading a fair amount of positive reviews. Perhaps we had too high expectations of the famed Off menu Feral Burger. First off, the service was not good. The waitress did not write down our order, and predictably, she did not get our order right. We asked for a burger without cheese, and the burger came with cheese. We also ordered a beer and she forgot to bring it. When we brought her errors to her attention, she was not apologetic. Second red flag: they didn't ask how we wanted our burger cooked. It came well done. While the burger was edible, it was not anything special, nor was it worth the $15 we paid. We also sampled the shrimp tempura po boy. The sourdough roll was not toasted and the tempura shrimp was already soggy by the time it arrived. Overall, very disappointed by our experience here and underwhelmed by the food.

Shauna S.

My BF and I ended up here cause... well... it says "pig" in the name and the man loves bacon. He had the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and pickles. He loved the pickles and felt it had a different taste to it which complemented the meal. I had the veggie wrap. Well, it was kind of lacking but it was actually a decent wrap. It was more like a salad wrap, but there was no dressing (which I adored) and the fries were fantastic. Definitely not bogged down and it was nice and light.
(4)
Aric P.

We were going to go to a neighboring restaurant but the rude service sent us down to the feral pig. We lucked out. The signature burger was incredible, and the Maui IPA was a nice hoppy beer with some punch. I definitely recommend it. Not too pricey, and the wait staff was friendly and fun.

Brian K.

Great beer selection and good food. Service was fast and efficient - which is not something found on this island. The food is nothin special, but it is well done a hey have a special burger - not on the menu! Laid back atmosphere, good people. Glad I went will go back.

I went in the other day after reading the good reviews and feral did not disappoint! Our waitress Rachel was so cute and took our experience to the next level. She suggested some great beers and the feral tacos! Food was great, service was even better. I can't wait to become a regular here!

The place is awesome. New, but totally good! We were on a vacation here for a week (visiting family) and this is one of two places we came back to twice. Friendly service, and the beermosa is something I'm gonna take back with me to the mainland to share. If you're taking a Blue Hawaiian flight, your best bet is to come here for some pregame cocktails and not the "sports bar" upstairs. Kalua pig was good at dinner time, and we even got a few "tester" shots that were money.

This place is AWESOME! Found it while we were on vacation and ended up eating breakfast there 4 out of the 7 days on the island! The Feral loco is a must try!!!

Juliet M.

So...let me start this review with...I wanted it to be better than what the other review were stating. The creative name, 'kewl' staff, and well designed T's seemed to give it some unusual hope. We arrived and the restaurant was empty. The owners were sitting at the bar....I told the waitress that Chef Ramsey would def have a problem with that. My mom and I were actually excited to try this place out. We ordered the porl loin that was served with mashed potatoes with blue cheese over the top, and cole slaw. After I review her meal I will hit up mine. To start, her meat was served a little too pink which is fine. Her mashed potatoes were unacceptable (that is the only word I can think of to describe) they were cold in the middle...maybe not enough time in the microwave ...tisk...tisk...tisk. Seriously. The frickin' middle of the scoop of potatoes were cold, thus there was no hope foe her blue cheese to melt - such a great idea. This was not a $6 meal. It was $18.00. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Her slaw was not slaw, and the dressing was made with skunky limes. DID YOU TRY WHAT YOU WERE SERVING CHEF? There is nothing worse than wasting a dime. I ordered their burger that they are 'known' for...it was okay. The meat had fat knuckles in it. The pork belly was yummy, and they servied me twice fried fries. I know this to be true as my mom asked that they just bring her fries and they were hot. Mine were warm. Like I said the burger was good, but there was not balance. The slaw, minus the skunky lime would have been a nice touch. All and all, I feel I am being generous for the review. I will not share that they were doing heavy dusting while we were there....hence the smell of cleaner. I am talking cleaning off the blades of the dusty A$$ fans. Not worth the money, L&L is a better value and half the price.

Food here is great, but every other Sunday they have a tremendously fun Irish band called "Whiskey-O"! You have to check them out. We heard them last year and made a point of hitting their appearance again. Sing along, or just enjoy.

Loki L.

I'm always surprised when I read great reviews for a place and it turns out to be anything but... But nothings worse than convincing your wife to try a place only to be proven an idiot by the choice. Nice! We had really hoped for a great breakfast away from the resort zone at the nearby Marriott- and based on others' reviews thought this was a good bet. But probably shoulda stayed in the hotel! First, having weak, watery, bland coffee in Hawaii should be a crime. Second, if you send eggs back for being waaaaay undercooked, don't send another batch of runny eggs in their place. I did enjoy the banana-macadamia nut pancakes but they honestly weren't that special. Just plain pancakes with sliced bananas and nuts on top. I coulda made that at home.... in fact I think I will! So what's with the glowing reviews? Was the chef on vacation? Do people have no sense of taste? Whatever the reason, with all the great food on the islands, we will not be returning to this place.

Saw the reviews on Yelp and knew we had to try this restaurant/pub/diner. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was served in a timely manner. I had the Feral burger, which was pretty darn tasty, juicy, and cooked just right. My husband had the fish and chips. He thought the fish was o.k., but not the best he has had on the island. We both LOVED the French fries, quite possible the best we have ever had. We were a little disappointed we couldn't order a Coors light, but made do with a really cold Longboard served in a frosted glass. Would definitely come back, just for the fries!

Bobcat P.

We wanted to love this place but alas it was not to be. Our server was good at taking the order but not bringing it. 10 minutes for a club soda and glass of wine :( when the food came it was warm at best and the amazing fries were soggy/cold/greasy. Fail!

Their special beef and pork sliders or burger is great. The fish and chips and the pulled pork sandwich so- so. A lot of people enjoying the local brews but we aren't beer drinkers so can't speak to it personally. Stick with the burger.

Kristina B.

We found this place at the end of our honeymoon and were so disappointed we didnt find it earlier!! We would have definitely visited multiple times if we would have been there longer! We split the feral burger and the cubano, hands down the best cubano we've ever had and the burger was AMAZING! The waitress was fun and very friendly. Great service! Great beer selections with local beers to choose from. Eating here is a must during your trip!
(5)
Ryan M.

The Feral Burger was phenomenal! I cannot recommend it enough. My group also had breakfast here which was great as well. I had a beermosa (beer + orange juice) which was actually much better than you'd think... very refreshing. If you go here for lunch/dinner, get The Feral Burger. If you like burgers and pork, you won't be disappointed!

My husband usually does not eat a burger that has to be cooked medium well but he tried the Feral Burger, to die for!!! It was juicy and delicious! I had the banana bread French toast that was pretty good also. We will come back for sure.

Food was tasty, for what you pay. Prices reasonable. Fun little local hangout. I was disappointed w my fish and chips, heavy on the beer batter and the fish part was very minimal. But everyone was pleased by the pulled pork sandwich and kalua pork dish. I would go again I would just get something different next time.

Denton E.

During our week-long visit to Kauai (staying in Lihue) we ended up eating / drinking here four times, and it ended up being our favorite spot on this side of the island. The Good: Great local beer selection, outstanding cocktails, and the owner's (mostly) locally sourced food philosophy. We had the "burger that's not on the menu" and as a guy who considers himself a burger connoisseur, I have to say it was one of my all-time favorites. The banana-macadamia nut pancakes were good too. If you're lucky enough to be served by 'Cisco, you'll get fast friendly service with a smile. The Bad: The name is so cool you expect some quirky decor, but it's pretty bare and basic inside. Also, the outdoor seating is spare and the views are limited pretty much to the parking lot and the road. The Ugly: Aside from Cisco, and the bartenders the service is very sub-par. While I realize it's hard to find good help on the island, there have to be people out there willing to wait tables that have more personality than a fence post and the ability to multi-task or at least apologize for their failures.

Dayna S.

We wandered in here when we were exploring the off resort area close to the Kaua'i Marriott at Nawilliwilli. We were jet lagged, up before sunrise and hungry. The Feral Pic did not disappoint. Great breakfast food, good coffee. Even better than the food was the staff. They were all super friendly, and our server Rachel gave us a list of things to do around the island that were off beat. Needless to say, we came back, like 4 more times on our trip. Here's a good tip: Get the Feral Burger. (Its off menu & amazing)
(4)
Jeff M.

Only had breakfast there - that was enough. Based on the other reviews, I have to assume that my experience was an anomaly or just limited to the breakfast side. First, the wait was very long even though the place was half empty. Next my order was delivered to the wrong person so I had to wait for a new order while my spouse ate hers. The server was apologetic but didn't go so far as to comp anything - hey, you're on Kauai, you should be happy with whatever you get and pleased to overpay right? When I did get my food, the potatoes were pretty sad: greasy and unappealing. I never went back so I can't comment on their lunch/dinner.

OMG, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. I think they are about ready to go out of business. I went there today for lunch and ordered the fish tacos. When my order came, I received two fish tacos and salad. ( I hope I can explain graphically enough about what I received for lunch, because I did not think to take a picture.... ) Anyway, got my plate with two tacos. They were served open faced and on each of the tortillas was one teeny little piece of grilled fish no bigger than 1 1/2 inches long and less than a 1/2 wide on each taco and there was only one of those pieces on each taco. there was a few pieces of cabbage on each tortilla and two cherry tomatoes (cut in half) on each of the tacos...). Anyway, I took one bite of one taco and that ended the one piece of fish. I took the other piece of fish and put it on the first piece of taco and took a second bite and I was done with my taco (with lots of tortilla left).. Certainly not worth the $13.00 they were charging. When the waitress finally came by, I asked her if this was a joke about the amount of fish that they served. (She obviously was aware because she couldn't answer my question).. She went in the back and came back and told me that the chef says that it is customary to serve 1 oz of fish (for two fish tacos!!!) and that even the chef admitted that they had not given me even 1 oz of fish.. They did not charge me the full price of the plate, but they did charge me $4.00 for one taco! I can only assume they are catering to tourists in Kauai who they know will never return a second time. I, am a resident in Kauai and will never go back again and I encourage anyone who reads this review to not go there!

Avoid this place Had dinner across the street and we were told that this is a good place for drinks We went in and were asked if we were OK with an outside table - racism ? We said yes The people behind us were all seated and we waited for 20 minutes before they seated us Then we waited for 45 minutes even after multiple calls to Tue waiter Nobody came and served us We finally stood up and left The first time I have ever done at a restaurant

Ian K.

From the second we walked in the two women behind the bar seemed to give us a dirty look and mumbled air anywhere. When our server finally came around (~8 minutes later) we got the menus and drink orders in. Add another 8 for her to return to take our orders. Then came the big wait. We sat there for a solid 30 minutes with no drink refills or any explanation as to where our food was. I ordered the loco moco and made it very clear that I wanted it medium rare and it came out well done. On top of that the gravy tasted like something made from a packet. Overall poor dining experience.

Went here on a Saturday evening around 7pm. Should've known to turn around when I saw approximately 4 people in the entire restaurant. Maybe this place is completely different in the morning, but I cannot understand how anyone can give this place more than 1 star. Once seated we were no longer confident in the establishment's ability to provide satisfactory food. So we decided to nibble on some appetizers and take off. We ordered the pupu platter (fried calamari, chicken wings, wontons) and the charcuterie plate. Fried food and cured meat with a baguette, should be quick, we thought. WRONG. These two appetizers took TWENTY minutes to make it to our table. Then the waitress tells us that "the wontons aren't available right now so we gave you extra calamari". Uh... thanks for the heads up. What if I ordered the pupu platter because I wanted to eat some wontons?? It didn't help that the calamari was way too thick and the fried batter was falling off in chunks and slightly soggy. On the cured meat platter, the baguette was the best tasting item. Too bad they only gave us like 5 small slices of the baguette that probably came from the nearest Safeway.

pork sandwich was just ok, fries were overly salty and riduculously soggy.

If you are feeling a little feral......... then this is the place! haha! drove by a number of times and finally stopped in. Sat at the bar. shocker right?!?! had a few big swell IPA's from Maui Brewing Company and ordered the "burger thats not on the menu but should be". House smoked pork butt, shredded and mixed with kauai ground beef. topped with carmelized onions, house cured and smoked pork belly, cajun aioli in a taro bun. Served with house cut fries. then watched the bartender make some crazy cocktails. sazerac? side cars? who makes those anymore!?! then there was the mai tai. they should really change the name to " The Process". Fresh squeezed lime juice (to order), housemade orgeat (WHO DOES THAT!?!), crushed ice to order (yup, like put it in a canvas bag and beat the crap out of it with a baseball bat.... yep. a baseball bat) then add Matuselum rum and a dark rum float. Would definetly go back. Laid back staff and setting. enjoy!

Great breakfast and value. We loved the banana macadamia nut pancakes and the special: kalua pork hash with fried banana on top!

Best Burger on the Island...Ask for the Feral Pig Burger (not on the Menu) and you will be a very happy eater!! Great Service, Great Drinks... all around good time. Perfectly flavored Pork and Beef!

Yeah! Excellent burger. There's a burger not on the menu, the feral burger, that is outstanding. Good fries. I recommend getting cheese and green onions on the fries. The beer selection is really good for all the local brews. And the service comes with a smile and a great sense of humor.

Best food on island this trip! Great service ...breakfast lunch and beverages were fresh and delicious! We are comparing to kentaro, dukes canoe at Marriott and Kauai beach resort restaurants! The feral pig may not be authentic, but the food was tasty!

We drove by this place and saw "Feral Pig" and just had to try it based on the name alone. Gotta say this is some of the best food we have had on the island. My wife had the Feral Burger (mostly Kaua'i raised beef with some pork added to it) at one point she said, "Can't talk, my mouth is full of awesome". I had the Jamaican Jerked Chicken. This is the best Jamaican Jerked Chicken I have ever had. Very spicy which in my book makes it good. The fries were delicious. Apparently, it takes them 3 days in a long drawn out process, but whatever it is, makes em TASTY. The owner Dave was moving about the restaurant and checking on people. He is definitely a beer lover. He recommended some very very good beers they have on tap. We are headed back there for breakfast before we leave.

Kevin B.

Very good, thoughtfully produced breakfast. While the breakfast I had, by mere description, was fairly pedestrian (eggs, toast, Portuguese sausage) and a Bloody Mary, the quality of ingredients and preparation were top notch. Caught a glimpse of their dinner menu, which looked amazing. I'm a big fan of locally-sourced food, and house-made products. Looks like they're doing it right, and with an edgy vibe. DEFINITELY will return for dinner next time on Kauai.

Robb G.

Wife had Tiki Moco and I had SPAM eggs and rice. The banana smoothy was amazing and the ginger lemonade was one of the tastiest non alcoholic drink I have ever had. This place is amazing and I have been here twice in three days and will go more before I leave. I need to nail back that Feral burger before I leave.

Linda B.

Great for lunch but don't go if you're dieting. This food was meant to be drip down the arm type of good. I was not disappointed. I had the Feral Tacos and my husband had the Feral Burger. We're going back again we come to the island.

Theresa K.

Seems like we kept hearing the name mentioned over and over. Tonight was the night...we went to give it a try. It was wonderful. I would like to tell you that we tried a couple of different things, but we didn't. Two pulled pork sandwiches with fries...wow, I think it was the absolute best pulled pork sandwich I have ever eaten. I had a glass of some new beer they were pouring and it was great ( could have been colder). Our waitress was funny and did a super job. We will definitely be going back.
(5)
Mercedes K.

Awful food. Absolutely inexcusably awful. My pork and cabbage was, at least, tasteless. My husband's pork scallopini and "homemade" noodles was revolting. The noodles seemed pre-digested. Do they ever taste what they cook? They should be ashamed. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Blech. Yuck.

Some colleagues and I traveled to Laie to watch the Kapa'a/Pearl City football and were super hungry so we stopped at the first place we could find. When we sat down I checked it out on Yelp and had some mixed reviews and a couple of pictures. I decided to avoid the fish and chips based on the pic on Yelp... Yelp is great at helping making better choices! The greeter guy gave the three of us menus... but weirdly my menu was different from the other two's. They were saying things looked good and I was like "where do you see that?" We compared menus and mine had less things than theirs did... it was weird. I can't help wonder if they gave me the "haole" menu as mine didn't have a lot of the more local sounding dishes... but that's probably my imagination. Based on the recommendation of the watiress (who was very nice) we all ordered something called "The Sloppy Kalapaki" which was a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. It was "eh" if you know what I mean. There was way more 'slaw than pork and the coleslaw dressing was so strong and acidic that it really overpowered everything else. BUT one positive: the Fries were REALLY good. Perfectly crunchy but not burnt. Very flavorful. Best fries I've had in a while. I would definitely go back for the fries. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing.

Had breakfast here one morning before our helicopter ride. It was great. Good service & food! Will definitely go back. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I didn't get the burger & we were in/out so fast. Really looking forward to next time.

I really wanted to like this place. And I understand every place can have an off day .. But today was definitely one of those days.. There were a few disappointing things about our experience today.. First and foremost .. there were flies errrvrywhere (in voice of Cleveland Brown).. I don't ever mind the occasional buzzer but I counted 9 at once in front of me. So many that I actually took a pic with my phone of them (secretly I took a pic because two of them were "getting it on" and my fiance and I have never seen that before).. And man were they persistent. I understand it's an open air restaurant but invest in a fly light.. According to my parking ticket we got there at 12:12 and didn't leave until 2:00. The waitress was very courteous and had a smile the entire time but there were 25+ people in the restaurant and she was the only one there with no help. 5 out of 5 groups I watched walk her up the tab because they were tired of waiting..There was a bartender behind the bar, but he tended to one particular person most of the time (looked like possibly a friend?) and outside of bus-sing random tables every now and then he didn't offer her any help.. The food was decent enough (I ordered the Feral Loco Moco) but I literally spent the entire time eating and swatting at flies at the same time. Which made for a great workout but was pretty annoying.. Now there was the wild chicken that kept looping in and out the door that was actually pretty humorous. Got great pics of him too.. 2 hours free parking with validation.

What a quaint little greasy spoon dinner. Oh and there's a bar. Not a bad spot for brunch. Foods good, affordable, and the service is friendly. Feels like fresh home cooking.

Good breakfast, slow but friendly service. If you come for lunch, order the feral burger, it's certainly the best burger on the island! Prices are downright cheap after eating at the Marriott.
(5)
Vince L.

Located right across the road from the Marriott, it's in what's called "Restaurant Row." Honestly, that is such a grandiose name for a worn down plaza. I'm rating this only for the breakfast. It's a solid 3.5 stars. The servers are super friendly (which was the reason for the 4th star). The food itself was decent. They do cook up a mean Portuguese sausage, if you like that (which I do!)

David P.

Just had lunch this afternoon. As a longtime Lihue resident I have seen this site change hands many times. It was originally a sushi bar called the Tokyo Lobby and was great. Then it changed hands many time over a period of several years, and it looks like someone has finally found a winning combination using a pub style place. Had the Feral Burger for lunch - isn't on the printed menu but is great -combo beef/pork patty with cheese and home made crisp bacon - ono. Also the only place in town presently serving draft craft beers from the Kauai Brewing Company. Right now they have both of their brews: Black Limo, a real dark lager and Lihue Lager a light version, or try a black and tan combination. David P, Lihue

Chill place. Very relaxed while you're there. Good selection of food and everything was tasty. The jerk wings were freakin yummy, great flavor and some good heat. Fish tacos were blackened and yummy and the Feral Burger (not on menu) was perfect. Gooey, juicy and really good.

Susan O.

I went to The Feral Pig while vacationing at the nearby Marriott on Kalapaki Beach. The bartender, wait staff, owners, and locals at the bar were so welcoming and nice. The cocktails were well made and the food was delicious. I've now recommended this place to others vacationers.
(5)
Steve C.

The staff is incompetent, the management is rude and condescending, and the food is sub-par.. I've given this place 4 separate chances and have been disappointed 4 times.. (I am not a slow learner, just really wanted to like this place as I'm a huge fan of Irish style pubs)... I've had dinner, breakfast, appetizers, and drinks here, and I have to say.. Don't waste your time or your money. I definitely will not recommend this establishment.

We went there tonight. Greeted and seated and the children were given crayons and coloring right away along with water. Treat my kids well and I become a patron for life. Hubby and I ordered the ferel burger because he read about it on yelp. We loved it. Both kids ate their entire meals of 2 sliders and fish and chips with no complaints. Service was spectacular. Server knew everything about the beer and treated the children well. Ambiance is not spectacular but the food more then makes up for it!

We can't comment on the food but we left after being ignored by our waitress after sitting for 10 minutes. We went upstairs to Kalapaki Joe's. Much better atmosphere and service.

Food was good but service was horrible. Initial guy behind the bar was cool and welcoming. The bad service came from the waitress. She looked angry and like she didn't want to be there. She forgot parts of our orders and didn't bother apologizing for the mistake. She definitely didn't make us feel welcome.

We were staying nearby and were looking for a good affordable place to eat. The breakfast menu has a lot of options and everything we ordered was GOOD! For lunch you HAVE to order the feral burger. It's now our daily stop for meals.

The burger was great. When we were there they were playing live music, it was great. Had a great kids menu, my girls loved the fish and chips. Very friendly staff- must stop for a beer, burger, and keeps the kids entertained.

Kristan B.

Worst food from our trip... I ordered Kalua breakfast tacos and it was so bland except for the huge amount of jalapeÃ±os, which just left my mouth on fire. My family member ordered loco moco and had to send it back as the meat was literally red when cut into :( disappointed overall.
(1)
Lee Z.

Take a chance on the special or anything Dave suggests. He focuses on local organic ingredients and always makes a huge effort to incorporate seasonal fresh. Cocktails are awesome and creative, some of the best are not on the menu so be sure to ask. My fav is the corps reviver. Can't go wrong with the feral burger or fresh locally caught fish. Berry cobbler is amazing

Feral burger....in a word, DELICIOUS! Oh yeah, and totally artery clogging-your perfect last meal! We split one.....Locally sourced beef and pork. We'll have to come back soon for the dinner. Casual dining at Nawiliwili Harbor.

Beermosa for breakfast! :) This placed ended up being a random spot after walking by to pick-up pizza in the same plaza. Pleasantly surprised that I wasn't terribly disappointed. I enjoyed the breakfast options and thought it was a nice change from the "resort" food. Ok in my book.

Had breakfast here. They were super friendly and had fast service. I got banana bread French toast with coconut syrup. It was delicious! My friends also liked their meals. I would recommend this place for breakfast!

The Feral Burger-which was not on the menu when we went, but they were happy to make it for us-was the best burger we have had in a very long time!!! Definitely worth a trip to the restaurant! They also serve Hawaiian beer, which we enjoyed! Definitely one of the best things we ate on Kauai!!!!
(4)
Jeff H.

I really liked this place, went there 3 time while on vacation. Had the Feral Burger twice and the Cubano. My wife ordered the the Sloppy Kalapaki, she liked it, but I didn't care for it. It has a vinegar based bbq sauce that I am not used to. The service was great and the local beer selection was great.
(4)
Jessica G.

Went here for breakfast on our last day since we were stayin at the Marriott. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. We had the breakfast burrito (beans were not cooked enough) and the banana Mac nut pancakes. Pancakes were definitely better at Tip Top Cafe. Service was good but probably wouldn't come back unless it was the only thing open.
(2)
Sundee C.

Great service! Loved the ginger lemonade. I tried their Feral Pig burger after hearing from several people that it was a must, and I wasn't disappointed. Everything is homemade. The burger is half pork belly and half beef ground together topped with bacon with homemade sauce, served on a Hawaiian sweetbread bun. There were homemade pickle slices served on the side. Definitely a great way to indulge.

Kristine W.

Walked in. Sat down. Waitress took our order about 10 minutes later. Water and orange juice delivered shortly after that. Three tables sat after us, right around us. ALL TABLES RECEIVED THEIR FOOD BEFORE US. We are a party of two - other tables were two, four and six. We waited upwards of an hour for our food. Frustrated, I asked for the bill for our OJ so we could leave. That took another 10 minutes. I had to hunt the waitress down. Waitress only apologized AFTER I was noticeably upset. I've worked in restaurants before - I have a lot of patience. WORST. SERVICE. EVER.
(1)
Chris D.

This place got good reviews and seemed like it would be a cool place for lunch. Wrong. Our waitress was tweaking super hard, which caused her to fail at everything. After seating ourselves, we waited at least five minutes to be greeted by our waitress, another five for menus (the bartender asked if we wanted them--and they were covered in food stains), and five more minutes for water. Long story short, food was good but the service was terrible. Also, lots of flies inside. Would not go back. Ever.
(2)
N. S.

Good burger but a few things I did not like: 1) ordered a specifically plain burger but was still topped with everything 2) chicken wings were not very tasty and only 4 in the half order Total cost for 4 wings and two burgers over $30... On the plus, the burger was tasty
(3)
I B.

At the suggestion of our Zip Line guide, we tried the Feral Pig Burger--not listed on the menu. This is an outrageous, gut-busting indulgance like you've never had before. Beef, pork, pork belly and tons of other stuff comprise this beautiful burger. I'm not usually a burger person, but after a day of hiking and ziplining, I thought I "deserved" the extra calories and every delicious bite was worth it. All of the people in our party had the same thing, so I can't speak to the quality of their other food The ambiance/location is nothing special, but oh, well.

Eric C.

Great off the menu hamburger that is 50/50 ground pork/beef. Excellent toppings and crisp fries. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. We ate an early dinner and the service was fine.

Brad K.

Oh sooo good. Burger with local beef and pig, pork belly and bun is from a local bakery. Good brews too!

Great breakfast place at reasonable prices. Friendly and attentive service. An easy walk from Marriott, where breakfast is double the price.

Just happened on this small pub/restaurant while on a visit to Nawiliwili which is a small town outside of Lihue, Hi on the island of Kauai. We went to the toy/hobby store next door prior to going to this pub and the worker there told us to try them out. He said that they have a burger (not on the menu) that is fantastic. So I and my party of 3 went to the pub. It is in transition as it appeared they are trying to improve on the decore. The prior restaurant at this location was a Tiki Bar. We had a variety of foods. I ordered the Guinness Chicken wings (mouth burning, lip numbing spicy) and the Shrimp Cilantro wontons (YUM). My husband had the burger (The Feral Burger) which was a combination of Kalua Pork and Island Ground Beef, grilled to perfection and covered with cheddar cheese and home cured bacon. It came with your choice of soup (clam chowder not that great, a bit too much potato starch), salad or fries. Our friends got Fish and Chips (coating too doughey) and the special fish of the day which was Grilled Ono it came with garlic mashed potatoes and a side salad. The house made lime vinegrette was good. There were no major complaints and I must say, the burger was delicious. They had a very good bar with great beer selections, soft drinks and non alcohol beverages. It is a sports type pub with TV's all over. They need to improve their ventilation also. I will defiitely go there again. Hopefully the decor will match the pub theme.

Jeff G.

Ask for the feral burger, half beef, half pork shoulder..topped with pig belly. Fries were crispy and awesome, exactly what you'd expect at a good burger joint. We went at mid afternoon so got a table right away and were in and out in 20. Very casual. No Amex.
(4)
Katelyn R.

good food, fair prices, meals come out fast and very friendly staff - all the right ingredients for me! The loco moco was a little bland, yet filling. Husband had banana bread French toast that he just raved about. Great alternative to resort food. Waitress killed roach in front of us :)

JJ N.

Friendly staff, good french toast. Not alot of beer selection on tap for a pub? Good spot for breakfast.

Andrew G.

Okay. I'm hesitant to give five stars to anything. It's like when I'm taking a corporate survey online where the choices range from highly satisfied to highly dissatisfied and I think, "am I truly 'highly satisfied' about anything they offer?" Let alone anything at all? What, indeed, does it take to be "highly satisfied"? Well, it begins with house-made ranch. And it ends with house-made orgeat. Indeed, if Dave, the owner-slash-"wizard" bartender, can see that you appreciate attention to detail and fine cocktails, you might find available to you specialty, albeit more modern, beverages not on the menu--though one cannot go wrong with his authentic, "classic" cocktails. They're classic for a reason and that's why they shouldn't be messed with. So Dave endeavors to closely recreate the classics, and that includes featuring Victor Bergron's original mai tai, not the bastardized commercial versions that have been adapted and cheapened with time. But of course the drink menu is only one flank of the battle, so a note about the cuisine might be beneficial. It's all very good. Look. There are a some heavier flavor notes here and there. Breakfast definitely leans toward the "comfort" side of preparation, but then how else should one expect eggs, hash browns, and ham? How else might one take their Loco Moco, a favorite in Hawaii that features rice, an egg, hamburger, and gravy covering the whole presentation? The answer to the question is: "As local as possible." Owner Dave Power strives to source as much as he can from Kauai proper and the Hawaiian islands. That means local greens, local beef, and, of course, local fish. Of course, some things come from the mainland. Federal regulations virtually prohibit small-scale, natural poultry processing, so chicken comes from California, despite the ubiquity of the island's iconic feral chicken population. And economically speaking, some things are just cheaper to buy from the contiguous 48, even shipped oversea. But the proprietors at The Feral Pig do the best they can. And it shows. And, for those in the area, say at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club a few hundred yards away, the food is infinitely better and less expensive. While the food at the hotel was consistent adequate, their beach was seriously awesome. That simply meant I was content with not driving too far out of my way on this vacation. Thankfully, I had The Feral Pig to nourish me. So where to start? I reckon I ate here a half-dozen times during my week on the island. Breakfast: I believe the Loco Moco needs to be experienced if in the area of Hawaii. The Feral Pig does it superbly. I didn't specify a temperature on the hamburger patty, suggesting the cook prepare it the way he or she felt it should be, but wish I had gone with my preference of medium rare since it arrived well done. That said, the gravy was flavorful and rich without tasting artificial. I admit to recoiling from commercial gravies inevitably processed with monosodium glutamate. The alternative is a gravy that is often buttery and smooth, and not too salty. So it was. I was very content to add a little Cholula to my Loco Moco. Lunch: The Feral Pig's house-made kalua pork dishes did not disappoint. Of course, their fries, spot-on and best served with their homemade ranch, made for a perfect accompaniment, and their influence on the overall dish can not be dismissed. The Feral Pig's fries are absolutely first-rate, thinly cut and dark and crispy on the outside. I would love to see the proprietors take on homemade, fermented ketchup, but Heinz has won the day for now. Only four months in business, I can forgive them the traditional Heinz, though I might encourage their organic line, which at least sheds the corn syrup. I know. Sugar is sugar. But my girlfriend is allergic to corn and all its derivatives. Plus subsidizing American corn farmers for food derivatives and fuel byproducts has not proven the most effective global strategy, and as far as I'm concerned wrecked the corn economy in Mexico and helped spur the influx of displaced farmer Mexican citizens into America in search of work. Probably more to it than that. Lunch for dinner: BÃ¡nh mÃ¬. I'd never had it but I have a special place in my heart for pork belly. Throw in a little pÃ¢tÃ© and, yes, you've got yourself a very, very rich dish. While an abundance of fresh cilantro nicely countered the fatty goodness of this sandwich, the acid from my perfectly mixed beverage deserves equal credit for completing this meal. Dinner: Pork whether smoked or marinated, the chops were not overdone and well presented. And the portions were large. The Cobb salad was a lovely presentation of specifically local greens and produce, though I opted for a seared ahi over the chicken, as well as a lime vinaigrette. The server brought a "less-tart" apple vinaigrette as well, and both were brilliant. All things considered having run out of allowable characters? Highly satisfied. It's a rare treat.

Esther J.

They have good beer, burgers, and service. We had the cobb salad and the burger special. It had pork belly, burger, cheese, and all the fixings on it. Delicious! The service was also great. Definitely try their local beers.

Shelley P.

Three stars because I had to knock off two because of their attitude...six of my coworkers all enjoyed their feral burger, ground beef and smoked pork, cheddar, grilled onions and pork belly. Two of us opted for the 100% Kauai ground beef burger with, cheddar, bacon, mushrooms and avocado, for an additional $1 per item. The problem was there was no avo in our burger, and they charged us for it. When I called, the girl said, "maybe the kitchen ran out and didn't tell us." then she passed me on to the manager. His response was, "what do you want me to do about it." I told him that I just wanted to let him know. Then he said, are you going to eat here again? He was pretty abrupt. The conclusion is that he said next time we order to tell them to tell Scott about the avocado and we'll get a discount. Do you think we're going to say that? I don't think so...

William M.

Food is good especially the pork/beef with pork belly burger that is not on the menu but service is slow and unresponsive to needs. I needed to flag down a waitress for another round at our table even though she passed by several times and should have noticed that we were out of drinks.
(3)
Miki L.

I had the charcuterie platter. It came with prosciutto, a few salami, pork belly strips, some pate, mustard and a few pickles. I like the pickles; the rest was, just ok. I also tried their chicken wings with a Guinness glaze. Ick. Hard wings with cold goopy sauce with no flavor. Beer was good, prices fair and service pretty friendly. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items.
(2)
Joshua E.

Just had breakfast there and really enjoyed it. I had coffee and A Bloody Mary, both were really good and I enjoyed them. For food I had eggs over easy with toast and their specialty pork hash. The breakfast was perfect and I wish I would be around to go back and try their other courses. All and all, seems like a decent bar.
(5)
Berkay U.

good food. good coffee. good service. tried steak and eggs, ahi and eggs, loco moco. Steak and Ahi were just ok...that's why 4 stars instead of 5. loco moco is great.

Peter E.

The Feral Pork sliders are 10 stars...there are none better anywhere and I mean anywhere...Most sliders are dried out non descript minature hockey pucks..Not here...juicy flavorable burger goodness, a must have....i also have had the Pot Stickers which are spot on as well.....I wish i could tell ya more but Im having trouble moving beyond the Sliders...Okay one more thing, a very, very nice craft beer selection both on tap and bottle/can..So if you are in Kauai, The Feral Pig is a must stop !

Isabella P.

We went to feral pig for lunch before catching our flight back to the mainland. This place is really close to the port so there were some people who came off a Princess cruise. Anyways, this is a very casual restaurant, bordering on cafe. Anyways, I had the feral burger, a thick slice of pork belly (bacon)' cheese, patty made of pork and beef. Holy crap it was yummy and the fries were good, shoestring and really crispy. Hubby at the loco moco, it was pretty good. We didn't try the beers, but the food was pretty good. Service was okay
(3)
Christina H.

Don't expect to find anything healthy here...it's all comfort food with a slight twist. Everything was delicious and kept us full all day. My group actually went back 4 times in the 9 days we were on the island. Oh and don't mind the random chickens walking into the restaurant...just discreetly looking for scraps, James Bond has nothing on those birds.

Charles M.

Beermosa, loco moco, red beer. All awesome. The Feral moco is a very good- patty , eggs, sautÃ©ed onions, cheese, over fried rice w gravy! O yum. (Yikes, is it like a million calories? I say Vacation ) Coffee is strong and tasty.

Charlene S.

Sorry, I should have known an establishment named the "Feral Pig" here in Hawaii was a warning that it was a tourist spot. The Mahi dish was tasteless, the fried rice boring, the service 2nd class. The Banana Pancakes however was very good! Overall I give this place a mediocre rating! Really if you want a memorable breakfast local style during your visit here to the islands, anywhere but here at The Feral Pig! You can get this quality of food any where else on any street corner!
(2)
Sheryl H.

Cobb Salad, two words, best ever! Lettuce and cucumber were fresh, tomato and avocado perfectly ripe, generous portion of smokey bacon, creamy blue cheese, a whole egg cut in half and a large chicken breast perfectly cooked, sliced and served warm, homemade ranch on the side, can't wait to go back and order this again!

Great place for breakfast when you are hungry. The place was packed, but the servers managed to keep up. Food was delivered hot and cooked nicely. The only drawback: $3 for a cup of coffee. Waitress said it was "bottomless" but it still seemed high.

Beckie S.

Great pupu calimari best we've had I want more -- killer Wasabi sauce. Also had the ahi tacos, yummy. This restaurant should be full all the time, people just don't know about it yet, books are not writing about it, resorts are not talking about it. We have eaten a ton of places in Kauai and it is well worth a visit, or two. We tried calimari at 5 places this trip, no one was even close to The Feral Pig. No happy hour but none needed, prices are really reasonable, servings large.

Although this place is convenient for anyone staying at the Marriott in Lihue (or Banyan Harbor etc), I would recommend Kalapaki Joe's over this restaurant. The service is rather lackluster. There were at least 3 available servers in addition to the bartenders; but they seemed more interested in how they looked to the male diners over any other duties. In the time it took us to be seated and receive our drink orders (15 minutes), two parties of people left. Either the menu or lack of attention drove them upstairs to eat at the Mexican restaurant or Kalapaki joe's. We had a burger and the fish tacos (the standard order during this vacation) and the prices were high in comparison to the ratio of food that was delivered. The burger was a little over done (the adult and kiddie version). The tacos were $10 for two street taco sized portions. Throughout my stay in Kauai, the typical cost for two full taco sized portions ranged $12-$15. The fish tacos at The Feral Pig were less than 2oz total. The fish was also overdone. Karma bit me in the arse with this fish taco meal. Here I was complaining all week for $12-$15 tacos...but after this, THOSE WERE A BARGAIN for some good eats!

Had a GREAT breakfast here. Much better now than when it was Tiki Room. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed. Avoid it on cruise ship days as its pretty busy.

My wife and I went down to have burger and hand cut fries. You know the kine of fry you eat at the bottom of the bag, the good crispy kind. Yea that's it. The burger made with fresh local grass fed beef yummy and on a fresh baked taro bun that will rock your socks. They work hard at providing the best food at good prices too! Did I mention the shrimp, dish, I don't know what the last review was about but that shrimp dish is a must. Try it, don't listen to someone who had a bad experience, usually that's there fault anyway. The shrimp is local grown, on Kauai, simply sauteed with butter salt and pepper, the best I ever had. Yes the game is on there too, big screens TV. Yes it's a must.

I live in the Dallas area and I am used to a large selection among restaurants and a lot of competition for my dollar. So while Kauai is outstanding in so many ways, I am usually disappointed in the quality of food/price paid in Kauai. We stopped here for dinner after an active day and it was a pleasant exception. We ordered the Pupu Platter, which was average. The wings were OK, wontons about what you would expect and they serve big chunks of calamari instead of rings. The only interesting part (to me) was the wasabi dipping sauce, which was one of three sauces (ranch and a tomato sauce the other two). For entrees we had a club sandwich, fish tacos and philly cheesesteak. All three were excellent as well as the sides. We left feeling full and happy. Price was a pleasant change as well. We had 3 non-alcoholic drinks, 2 alcoholic drinks, the most expensive appetizer and 3 entrees for $67 - which is a decent value even in Dallas and a real surprise here where I've ended up paying $40 for three cold sandwiches at some of the local places.

Well my bf & I wanted to try something new for breakfast. Since we live here and always pass this place on our way home, we thought we'd give it a try. When we walked in the door, we were greeted by the bartender and that was cool! So I'm having a great feeling about tho place and told us that we just go ahead and have a seat and so we did. Got our drinks and the menu, waited for atleast 15 mins for utensils and the waitress to come and take our orders. When the waitress came first thing she said to us wasn't hi and her name, but that she was having an off day. WOW! I understand it was getting pretty busy at that time,but you don't tell that to your customers! we waited another 20 -25 mins for our food to come to us and when it did it was super cold. My bf said just eat so we can go. Waited another 20-25 mins to get our tab and another 10 mins to get cashed out. At the end the bartender kinda had a feeling that something was wrong when he asked us how was everything and we just told him that it was okay. I certainly will not be returning there! Slow service, cold food, and the waitress we had needs to go to customer service school to change her attitude!

Wow, this place is terrible. I was on my honeymoon and staying at the Marriott across the street. My fiancee and I were a little tired of eating fish for every meal, so we decided to check out this place. The menu on the door seemed enticing - a nice variety of pub foods. However, the food was horrible and the service was pretty bad. We ordered a shrimp appetizer that the waitress said came with four pieces of shrimp and was cooked in a certain type of sauce. When it was served, it was only three pieces of shrimp and there was no sauce. When we asked about it, she said, "oh well, it USUALLY comes with four pieces. Sorry." Wtf?! The beers were warm, too. Then, when I got my entree, fish and chips, I actually burst out laughing - the plate was literally 90% french fries and the fish fillets were so small you could hardly see them. The fillets were soggy as well. I would definitely not return to this place. Very disappointing.

I don't know what others who have written a positive review of this place got or what their taste buds must be like, but my wife and I went two Sundays ago (March 18) based on those reviews and found the restaurant lacking in pretty much every category. The Cuban sandwich was typical of traditional Cuban and Peruvian food where the cooks attempt to extract all flavors from the food before it is served. The sandwich was tasteless, including the homemade pickles, which were nothing more than wet cucumbers. To say this was by far the worst restaurant food I have had in a long time would be an understatement. My wife experienced the same with her food. One of the reviews brought up the fact that for the mai tai cocktail, the restaurant makes its own orgeat syrup (who would do that?). There is probably a reason they should not. It destroyed one of the all time Hawaiian classics. Add to this that 2 waitresses could not handle 4 tables with a total of 11 people. The pace and nature of the service was such that I will never return again to this restaurant. Missed the boat on all accounts.

We decided to check out The Feral Pig for breakfast on a Sunday morning. They had some great advertised specials and the atmosphere was bright and welcoming. This is where the positives end. After we ordered our breakfast and drinks, we waited and waited and waited. Our breakfast finally arrived, very cold and unappetising and we still hadn't gotten our drinks (which btw, were a cup of coffee and a strawberry smoothie). The food might have been good if it was warm, but we will never know, as this is not a place we plan to return.

Great brunch and well priced! Their homemade hot sauces are awesome. Try the cloudy one with peppers on the bottom, delicious and perfect with the Kalua hash!

Great food! Great drinks! Beer-mosa! Super friendly staff. Great alternative to super pricey Dukes. The banana bread french toast was everything I dreamed and more. Not to mention we met a super nice chica at the bar that had some great tips about Kauai!

My family has owned a timeshare in Kauai for over 15 years, and only last year did we find the GEM that is Feral Pig! We were a group of 6.. The guys all had the Feral Pig burger with the Lihue Lager, and us three girls had a different plate (I had the Cubano sandwich one day, and the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and pickles the next time we went), with the ginger lemonade. We are from LA, total foodies, and have had our fair share of bad food.. So we know good food when we have it. Everyone was FLOORED at how AMAZING the food was at Feral Pig!! BOTH times we went!! The guys can't even talk while they're eating, because they're just so into it.. And the girls rarely have leftovers. The ginger lemonade is probably the best I've ever had. This place has gotten bad reviews, and I can't even believe why. This is a stop we will be making EVERY time we are on the island from now on. Go and taste for yourself!!

I'm going to try to make this short. Waited way too long for the waitress to show up, one water to share for two people, no silverware ( had to take from another table). Door to outside open (it's raining). Fish tacos...where's the fish? By the time we were ready to leave we were the only table left in the restaurant, people were sweeping up..right next to us....took too long to recieve bill....and that's how we found out the waitresses name , she never bothered to introduce herself. I am giving two stars because the burger was acceptable, the coffee hot, and the bus person plesant. We won't discuss the fries, ugh!

This place was tremendous! We really enjoyed the legendary feral burger, which has a patty made of half ground beef, half slow-cooked pork and also features a pork belly. Solid service, reasonable wait time, and decent value for the island. We recommend this to everyone.

Flew into Lihue late on a Friday afternoon and after unpacking at the mediocre Marriott across the street, we decided to give the Feral Pig a try. My guy had the fish tacos which he liked, our friend raved about the Poke, and I had Fish and Chips. I don't usually eat fried food, but the Fish tacos option was taken (I try not to copy others at the table, lol). The fish was quite tasty and the batter not overpowering. Lots of fries, but plenty of fish as well. For the price (about $35 for the 3 of us, including a beer apiece), after flying 7.5 hours, it was just fine. Certainly more for the money than if we had eaten at the Marriott.....though ambience is lacking...even on the patio.

I am reviewing the Feral Pig for its breakfasts, of which I had 5 during my week's stay In Kauai. It's located where the former "Tiki Room" used to be on the first floor of the Harbor Mall on Rice Street. I tried the Tiki Moco - a local breakfast with kalua pork, 2 eggs, rice and brown (homemade) gravy. It was delicious, very filling and reasonable in price. I also enjoyed their weekend eggs benedict special, their loco moco (with ground beef patty instead of pork) and their breakfast burrito. The staff for the most part was retained from the previous two restaurants in that location and the new owners (Scott and Dave) are working hard to offer local, reasonably priced, delicious food with the emphasis on customer service. Their menu also offers small plates, salads, sandwiches/burgers and large plates ranging from $5 to $20. It may not have a view of the beach, but the food can't be beat.

It was my first time going to The Feral Pig, desite the weird name, I figured I'd give it a try just as I did with the previous restaurant that was there, The Tiki Room. As we entered, we looked over the posted menu...I already knew what I was going to try which was the Sloppy Kalapaki, which was described as pulled pork mixed in BBQ sauce and cole slaw on the side, I thought I was better off staying safe because who could really mess that up. I was definitely in for a surprise...As we got seated we were handed the menu again...I was still determined to try the Sloppy Kalapaki and my boyfriend ordered a burger with a fried egg and bacon. It wasn't too long of a wait, seeing that they weren't very busy with only 2 other tables and one person at the bar. When the lady delivered our food the first thing that caught our eyes were the weird, dark, soggy looking fries. I was guessing that they were suppose to be those nice straight, shoe string type of fries but I had no idea what happened to them. They were even worse in taste, even after adding ketchup. Moving on to my sandwich...I confidently took a bite thinking this is going to be good but I should have read the other warning on Yelp about the Sloppy Kalapaki :( I found out the hard way when immediately after chewing I tasted an extremely acidy taste which drowned out the pork and BBQ sauce flavor. I literally almost spit it out because it was that sour/acidy. Then I saw it...these weird small ball thingys which I found out later to be their homemade mustard, BLEHK! The waitor suggested that next time I ask for it on the side!! I was forced to choke down the bite and drown myself in water and soggy fries to get rid of the acidy feeling left in my mouth. I tried to salvage my meal by scraping as much of the "mustard" out of my sandwich and asking for more BBQ sauce. When I received the sauce I definitely noticed the difference in taste from the supposed "BBQ" sauce already used in the sandwich which had a more tomato flavor to the more bottled-store bough BBQ sauce...WTF? Well I managed to save my meal but I was very disappointed. Atleast my boyfriend enjoyed his burger which when I tasted I tought it was pretty mediocre. I would atleast thing since this place is called The Feral PIG, they would atleast specialize in their pork dishes rather than lame ordinary meals. After about half an hour of eating, my tummy was not liking what I forced it to digest, I left with a "burnt" mouth, disappointment, and a sore tummy. I don't think I'll be going back :(((
