Haleiwa Beachside Galley

DO NOT EAT HERE! It is now called The Spot and service is terrible. Took 45 minutes for a kids PBJ, countless people asked for order cancelations and money back. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

Side of the road food truck on the way to the pipeline. Everyone enjoyed their meals but the best bite was my daughters Kalua pig grilled cheese w Mac nut pesto. My picky eater son liked his simple grilled cheese and hubs and I had a lovely Kalua pig bowl.

We split a Cali burrito for breakfast and it was awesome –best I’ve had actually ! The crème fres (sp?) and Portuguese sausage made it. Try them — they can hold their own on the North Shore food truck scene.

Quite simply, this was the best lunch I have ever had. We happened upon this place, and I am so glad we did! The service is definitely not 5 star, but the food more than made up for it. My husband, son, and I all had the Kalua pig grilled cheese sandwich. My daughter had a burger. The sandwich was huge. Even though I was stuffed after half, I kept eating because it was so good. My daughter loved her burger as well. We’re staying about 45 minutes away from the North Shore, but we’re planning on driving back one day during our visit to eat here again (well, and to go to Turtle Bay). I highly recommend a stop here!

I’m saying five stars. I got the pig sandwich with pesto. I would highly recommend splitting this with someone! It is delicious, but very rich. By the end of half two I was wishing I had only eaten half!

The Haleiwa Beachside Galley truck is located at Shark’s Cove grill just off the highway. My mom and I saw the trucks on our way to Waimea Beach and decided to stop by for lunch. We ordered the Makai Bowl and kalua pig grilled cheese sandwich. I was a bit disappointed with the kalua grilled cheese. The sandwich sounded amazing, with that tender pork, yummy cheese on crunchy sourdough bread. But the pesto sauce really took away from the flavor of the pork and left the sandwich more greasy than anything. It’s a pretty large sandwich too, so I wasn’t able to finish it. Maybe they could get rid of the pesto and add some veggies for some texture. Anywho, the Makai Bowl on the other hand was SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. We had a lot of shrimp on our stay in the North Shore, and this bowl is ranked pretty high up there in my opinion. The dish in general was so refreshing and included a salad with avocado and quinoa, and the shrimp were HUGE! Next time, I’d like to try the short rib grilled cheese. But that Makai Bowl tho!!!

So beautiful here right next to a gorgeous cove of lava rocks and sharks.
Ordered the fresh catch — it was a mahi. I asked them to make it extra juicy on the bed of quinoa, fresh corn, and baby greens… and they did!!! It was INCREDIBLE!!!
Do this.
Aloha.

Loved the kalua pig grilled cheese! Best sandwich I’ve had on the island! Highly recommend!

The Kalua Pig grilled cheese is AWESOME! We came here our second to last night and were super impressed by the sandwich. We all agreed that it was our favorite meal of the week (and we ate a lot!). It was so good that we came back tonight for our last dinner of our vacation. So good… Come here and get it! And the price is excellent considering location!

This place is SO ONO!!! Boyfriend and I have lived on the North Shore for awhile but never took the time to check this place out. We finally went last night and the food was unreal. I couldn’t believe this was here all along. We had the makai and mauka bowl. Both so delicious. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. Not too overdone so not too chewy, it tasted super fresh. And the pork melts in your mouth. Even the salads were good. Definitely going to be regular customers. The only complaint we have is we wish the portions were a little bigger. The prices are slightly high for the portions you get. But the quality of food makes it worth it.

Best grilled cheese sandwich ever!!! I had a bite of my boyfriend’s short rib grilled cheese, and I ended up stealing half of it. We ended up going back every time we were in the area on our recent trip to Oahu. I like to get mine with extra pickled onions. They run out of the pickled onions sometimes, so try to go early!

Good solid breakfast here. Got their French toast with eggs and bacon and it definitely filled me up. The French toast was really thick with pineapple and kaja jam. The GF got the Cali breakfast burrito and it was pretty good. Would recommend if you need something quick in the shark cove area.

Had breakfast here and got the Cali breakfast burrito. Nothing too special, just an average burrito w eggs, potato and your choice of meat. I got the bacon which always makes everything delicious, so couldn’t go wrong with that.
My bf got the French toast which looks awesome. The bread is really thick so the batter didn’t go all the way through giving some dry bites here and there. All in all, good portion sizes, average breakfast.

Delicious. Perfect spot for after snorkeling in Shark’s Cove. Food very flavorful. Food plentiful and fresh. They have outdoor covered tables.

Loved the fresh seafood and makai bowl. Short rib grilled cheese also a winner with my kids. Great stop in between beach visits for lunch

I ordered the pork mauka (I think), and it was a very clean and tasty dish, priced just right. The girl that took my order has a really cool accent, and you can see the ocean from the benches in front of the truck. Try this place. Yummy.

Anytime we’re on the Northshore, we are always racing the clock to get dinner before everything closes. We’re weird and eat dinner after 9pm. Not very island-​style of us. This food truck saved us with some ‘to-​go’ items right before they closed. They also had one of the best salads I had on any of the islands. Super stoked on the grilled cheese too!

Food: 5 stars
Service: 3 stars
We had one of the bowls, it was the daily special and I can’t remember the name :/​but it was delicious! It had pesto quinoa, chicken topped with pineapple and a salad. The quinoa was actually good and not just «I’ll eat this because it’s healthy» type of good.
The service was meh. I wouldn’t normally comment on the attitude of people working in a food truck. Maybe they had a bad day? You never know. But we came back to the Galley the next morning to try the French toast (spotted it on the breakfast menu the day before) and the service was the same.
For being a food truck located across from Shark’s Cove and next to a snorkel rental place, you’d think that they could relax a little. It’s a food truck. Tourists exists. You live in Hawaii. Chill out.
P. S. The French toast was good but a huge portion. You could easily share it between two people. The slices of bread are thick and the pineapple topping was perfection.

EXCELLENT! We were so in love with the offerings from this truck, we went three times in our short trip to Oahu… here’s what we found:
YES, the kalua pig grilled cheese is tasty (see other reviews) — buuuuut I absolutely loved the catch of the day bowl. Huge piece of Marlon with a delicious quinoa and veggies. With a view of the water — what’s not to love?

Holy Ono!!! Awesome grinds, had the Kalua Pig grilled cheese and was wicked happy with it! Service was pleasant and food was affordable and quick. Great location for anyone anytime! Definitely up there on the truck list!
