Breakers Restaurant & Bar

Almost walked out after reading reviews but glad gave place a chance. Waitress was pleasant and food was good. Restaurant has atmosphere with all the surfboards on the ceiling!

This place is aggressively average. The interior is nicely decorated but the food, it’s average, overpriced by 33%, and the place is a little dirty. I would come here if I wanted to go to a place that wanted to be «aggressively average.» It seems, with the prices, they could spend a little more of better quality ingredients. Like how to make an average grill cheese, a corn dog, and charge $ 10 for it. It’s obviously all frozen, the kitchen likely is a nuke kitchen. Even the pulled pork was agrees overly average. The server was awesome, she seemed smart and honest and I liked her.

Putting in the effort to write this review will hopefully save people some time and money attending this restaurant/​bar.
THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING. If you want to eat somewhere where there is clearly no pride taken in the food, environment, and service this is the place.
As soon as you walk in you are greeted by old distasteful décor that has no theme. Surfing meets Vikings football? Okay. Not to mention the horrifying amount of dust and grime caked on the furniture and ceiling. Our service was sub-​par, but while we were waiting for our appetizer to arrive what was obviously a RAT, ran across the floor into the back. This didn’t surprise us due to the gross state the entire restaurant is in.
We ordered the Kalua pig fries to start. They were swimming in artificial cheese, oil, and unbearably salty. After seeing the rat we opted to eat the rest of our meal elsewhere.
When we mentioned the rat the server (who never introduced herself to us), she seemed unbothered by it and told us she would mention it to her boss.
Bottom line, please don’t waste your money here. There are so many other places in Haleiwa that offer better dining environment, food, and service. Try Haleiwa Joe’s, Luibueno’s, or Rajanee Thai for some amazing food.

My wife and I are major foodies. I’m a professional chef an we decided to give this place a try. We always drive by it and today we decided to eat there… The kalua pig fries were just drowning in fat and the cheese sauce was not good at all. She got the surf and turf, her steak wasn’t even season with salt and pepper and neither was the mac but chicken I ordered, we didn’t even finish our food. Also their Arnold Palmer and plantation teas were so watered down. So disappointed. We will not be coming back.

We come to Breakers every time we visit Hawaii from New Jersey. This time we had family and friends with us because my daughter was having a destination wedding. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table because we had a group of 12. Our waitress Heather was fantastic! She even had the cook make my favorite tuna sandwich which was not on the menu anymore! Everyone had delicious dishes and drinks. We love it here. Thank you, Heather!!!

Do NOT order their burger… unless you like frozen prepackaged ones. I was very disappointed.

Stopped here for a late lunch/​early dinner. Husband and I split the quesedilla and garlic fries. Both were good and tasted fresh.

Should have checked the reviews BEFORE we stopped. I had chili and rice. It tasted like canned chili. Ewwww! Another member in the group had clam chowder. They said it was very chewy and gritty. One person enjoyed the fish and chips but the one meal didn’t redeem the evening. Don’t stop, keep driving.

Reviews here weren’t great, but i am not 100% why… I think it was pretty great! Fish and chips were on point, and it was a massive amount of food.

Francesca is awesome. Food is awesome and service is top notch. Other reviewers are not seeing the secret. Come see the secret ! The diamond!!!

Atmosphere was great and staff were friendly. Menu wasn’t very open to those that don’t eat sea food but we found something that we both liked. Kids corn dog was overcooked. Rice was sticky and perfect for my 1 yr old to eat alone without mess making.

Great lunch, awesome food, great server Anna. Treated my whole party with lots of aloha. Very friendly service.

SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AND FOOD IS MEH.
Stopped there for breakfast and had a not so good experience.
Asked for a table outside, and the waitress huffed at us and said «I don’t know.» The inside was mostly empty and outside had people at 2 – 3 tables. The hostess/​bartender seated us and took our drink orders to help the outdoor waitress. Waitress never acknowledged us so the hostess took our orders. When the food arrived one of the dishes for our group was forgotten. We had to go inside and ask for the order.
Food was meh. Ordered the biscuits and gravy, and the gravy was watery and gritty.
We sat there for 10 – 15 min after we finished, and no one brought us our check. Had to go inside again.
Of note, during our entire experience the waitress never talked to us.

Aka breakers…
Ugh, waitress (Mara) doesn’t write down the order, and surprise! We end up with a Mac nut chicken burger instead of Mac nut chicken plate and a veggie burger; waited freaking forever to get the mediocre at best food; they screwed up our order; they never fixed the screw ups despite blaming everyone else in the place for what was clearly the waitresses mistake and promising to take care of it; she avoids our table so she didn’t have to talk to us and then has the freaking balls to suggest we just leave without the food (she was kind enough not to charge us for the phantom burger they couldn’t seem to find) after 2 hours! In-​freaking-​sane.
This was the worst experience I have had dining in a very long time.

RUN AWAY!!!
If the name on the sign says:
Breakers Restaurant & Bar — just starve instead.
Should get no stars. We waited an hour after our entire party was DONE eating, for a veggie burger. A v.e.g.g.i.e. b.u.r.g.e.r, it’s not like it had to be cooked!
We were promised it was next, then that they would take it off the bill and still IT NEVER CAME.
We paid full price for the food we actually got & left.
What a terrible place!
I’ve never been to worse.
Thanks for the «I’m really sorry!» Mara, but that’s not very helpful. Learn some customer service skills.
Going home hungry & pissed!

Don’t go there… not worth the money!
SERVICE SUCKS!
–Waited over 5 mins to be acknowledged
–Waited another 5+ mins to get our beverages
–Coffees were hardly Luke warm
–She brought me an orange juice mimosa after I specifically asked her initially if they made them with pineapple juice… for which she confirmed!!!
–Waitress didn’t check back AT ALL before the food came so we could tell her about the mimosa and coffee issues
–Waited over 15 mins for our food…
–I GOT THE WRONG FOOD
–Then I waited another 5 – 10 mins for my food while my husband’s food got cold waiting for mine to come…
–All the food was mediocre: biscuits were dry and over cooked, eggs were over cooked, one piece of spam was super thin and tasted like a spam-cracker…fried rice was nothing special… tasted like Panda Express lol
Waitress sort of half-​ass apologized
Didn’t seem genuine at all
They removed the coffees but I received no discount for the other issues!
$ 30+ for shitty service and mediocre food

They got my vote. They appreciate both local and tourist business and make you feel welcome with a Kamaaina discount.
I love breakfast. Eggs Benedict, biscuit and gravy — the best.
Draft beer, lunch and dinner. It would be great if they could consider adding some new dinner items .
Entertainment and a great atmosphere.

Don’t do it. This was literally the worst meal I have ever had. And it had nothing to do with the hundreds of bugs all over the table or the lackluster service. The food wasn’t mediocre –it was punishment. I basically paid this business to make me feel horrible. I made my boyfriend have a few nibbles of my veggie breakfast wrap (eggs, onions, peppers, how do you fuck this up???) so I wouldn’t be the only one puking later. In retrospect, that was a stupid move: no one to hold my hair back or run to buy ginger ale.
Just don’t eat here. Go to Uncle Bo’s — we didn’t eat at Bo’s but unless they serve corpses it’s gotta be better than this.

At first glance this place seemed a little run down, but when you’re seated and you have a chance to look around you can tell that it’s clean and very functional. My friend and I were almost scared away by the prices but I can attest that you shouldn’t judge this restaurant by its cover.
We were on our way to Bostons Pizza in Wahiawa and through a series of unfortunate events ended up in Haleiwa instead, we decided to make the most of it though and I selected a random restaurant for lunch just to make the accidental trip out worth it.
We were helped by «Brandy» she was a great server, paid attention to us and nailed our orders. Our glasses never ran dry either as she was quick on refills.
On to the food.
I ordered the BBQ Kalua Pig sandwich while my friend got the Turkey Pesto, in the same vein as my Surfin’ Salsa review I wasn’t expecting the quality of food we came out with. The Kalua pig had a nice smokey flavor, the fries on the side were great and the little blob of coleslaw I was given carried a fresh flavor. I was already impressed with my own order, but then my friend gave me a little piece of his. .. I don’t know where they get their pesto from but it tastes fresh, like, really fresh, I was surprised to say the least. Either they’ve got the best frozen/​pre-​prepared pesto ever or they actually make it in house.
Breakers Bar lands my 5 star review for surprisingly good food and great service.

Food was great. We had fish and chips. Mahi mahi ever battered. We got seated within a few minutes. I wouldn’t consider the service slow but rather at island pace. Our server checked on us 3 – 4 times and that was fine with us.
My husband also ordered clam chowder which he enjoyed. Only criticism was it was barely warm. I also tried the macaroni salad which I really liked.
