Right next door to Poipu Beach park. Good food and drinks. A little pricy for a casual beach restaurant but this is a resort area. More

Brennecke's is one of those places that EVERYONE goes to and recognizes. The restaurant itself isn't much to look at but the view of the ocean is great. The food is average but the prices are also low. Probably the cheapest drinks on the island. More

we were in Poipu for 8 days and went to Brennecke's many times. The service was great, so was the food. The bar tenders were really friendly and mixed up some fantastic drinks. you are able to see the beach from there which made it even better. More

I love Kauai but the service even in the best places can be spotty. Not here. When you walk in you feel like you are among old friends. From the host to the waitress and everyone in between it is very very good. And FRIENDLY!! You just hope the food lives up to it and it does. This is not... More

We weren’t as please as some of the reviews of this place. My husband had the fish and chips and they were dry and over cooked, I noticed the other tables around us were getting the same quality. I had the popo platter and it was good, the shrimp however, was tough. My sister-in-law had a salad and it was... More

I mean this is like what a hotdog stand is for NY... You get fresh Ahi (=Tuna) Taccos, Ahi Burger, Ahi Sashimi and in general really good fresh fish for lunch and diner. Prices are very much ok with a full menue incl. drinks for 2 people ending at around 60-80$. And again the Ahi and the fish in general... More

We went to Brenneckes at 3:00 pm for a late lunch. Turns out that their happy hour starts at 3:00 as well. The staff was very friendly, and helpful in finding us a table by the window that frames one heck of a beautiful view. We started with MaiTais, then ordered a pitcher of Pina Coladas (did I mention it... More
