Family Friendly Restaurants on Kauai

After a long Hawaiian day spent playing at the beach or hiking Waimea canyon, the first question your family will ask may be, “So….where are we going to eat?” Take advice from an experienced Poipu Seal: you want to have a few locations in your arsenal before the little ones come-a-beggin. Lucky for you, Kauai is filled with great eateries. The ones I include here are particularly family friendly. Visit one or all of them and your kiddos will go home with full bellies and happy hearts.

Brennecke’s Beach Broiler

If you want to stay close to the Villas at Poipu Kai or Poipu in general, your best bet is Brennecke’s Beach Broiler. Located right across the street from Brennecke Beach, the “Broiler” is just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from your busy day playing in the ocean. In addition to their general menu (which is fabulous), Brennecke’s Beach Broiler has what they call a “keiki” menu reserved just for kids. It features kid-friendly dishes such as chicken tenders, pizza, grilled cheese, and hamburgers, all for about $6-$10. Your little ones will feel extra special when they can choose their very own “keiki” mocktail to go along with their meal. For $5.25, you may just want to try the “Pink Panther” blend of strawberries and cream yourself! Just be sure to save some for me! Fortunately for adults, Brennecke’s Beach Broiler has a great variety of entrees and drinks for adults. Come during one of their two happy hours (3:00-5:00 pm and 8:30 pm-closing) to get an even better deal. See more on their website: http://www.brenneckes.com/
