Best Food In Hawaii

by owl314

Buzz's is right across the street form Kailua Beach Park, which makes it the perfect spot for happy hour. The perfect beach day ends on the deck at Buzz's with fresh sashimi and a "BFRD" - big effing rum drink" - which is their mai tai. It's amazing, but strong! Then, you have to stick around to have dinner - order the fresh fish "Chinese Style", it's poached, with sesame oil, soy sauce, and somethin' else. Hit's the spot. I MISS IT!!!

• Pros: Fresh Fish/ Great Drinks/ Best Staff
• Cons: must wear shoes. :)

Warning - they only take cash

by betsy993

People love it, I don't know why. Have to wait over an hour for dinner seating; food is decent not great. Steaks are good but not worth price, which you will pay with cash.

Cramped and crowded. Walk in the door to the hostess stand and you are already in everyone's way. Have to stand over other people at their tables when in line for salad bar, which is by kitchen so the waitstaff has to get past you too. Too moisy; some people like the "buzz" but I'd rather hear. Service okay, usually very busy & too noisy for them to hear you so they just throw plates down & disappear before you can ask them for anything else.

Plus side, drinks are REALLY strong. Taste bad, but after one or two I didn't hear the crowd anymore, I just talked loud like everyone else.

• Pros: Patio for your wait, Strong drinks, Across from beach
• Cons: Crowded, Long Wait, Cash Only

Buzz's is GREAT

by heidelberggirl

I lived in Kailua for 7 years and have been to Buzz's about 15 times, including New Years Eve. I found it to be consistently FABULOUS and a GREAT value. I would haved the salad bar, eat half my entree and have the rest for the next day. I LOVE the place.

• Pros: Romantic, Good Value, Friendly
