Cocktails are delicious. Although it's not tiki, the passion fruit margarita was delicious. Spicy edamame and the ahi tuna are a must!
The Dukes Pork plate is the BEST. It's also a great place for happy hour - the drinks and apps are delicious (specifically the sweet potato fries , pot stickers , and the pirate ship - just share!)
Only get the Pirate Ship if you have at least four people in your party that are going to equally drink it as it has about 17 different shots of rum . Dangerous! Best sweet potato fries !
Can't get enough of this place. Hawaiian fish soup is amazing. Fish tacos , veggie burger , fish sandwich , plantains , fries - all great.
Ahi Madhi and spicy sauce and a draught Maui beer
Really awesome place/vibe...great service and food was delicious. Also, they have monster sized cocktails for large groups to all share!
Dinner was delicious! The ribs were moist, tender and flavorful. The pork sandwich was delectable. The bun was buttered and lightly toasted and so 'baker-fresh' soft!
Everything is dipped into salsas , not the healthiest cuisine on the planet. There seems to be discrimination towards normal women as waitresses all look like Barbies. Air-conditioning was unbearable.
Pink Bikini Martinis are light and fresh and nearly everything on the menu is outstanding. Definitely a Santa Cruz favorite.
Staff was awesome, food was well received by all 19 people in our party. Lots to choose from and yummy drinks too!
All night Happy Hour menu on Tuesdays! Their pulled pork sandwich and Hula sauce is on point.
Trader's Fish Sandwich is bomb! Poke app is too citrusy; wings and coconut shrimp roll are good bets.
BEST Calamari *ever* - Abalone style. BEST Mai Tai coctails EVER. :) BEST Sweet Potato Fries ! Pretty much everything on the menu is a winner.
Share the scorpion bowl with someone!! There's house cut fries with their side sauce is delicious.
The Mai Tai was one of the best I've had. Happy Hour is great with $5 tiki drinks and $5 Pupus
Get the Volcano Bowl to share with friends!!! Also enjoy some of the best Hawaiian Kalua and Jerk Pork around because it's Delicious!!!
Get the calamari pupas and fish entrees. Do not get the Mongolian beef bowl . The beef is over cooked and tough. Fish is perfect.
Come for the happy hour stay for the kabobs !
Definitely make a reservation if you're going on a Friday night. That way you can skip the wait 😊
Go to Hula's and start with Poke & a Primo, move to wasabi fish special paired with a Dr. Funk , and close with a top shelf rum served neat - I like The Kraken.
Caesar salad dressing is obviously mixed with crack, i'd bathe in it. Burgers are kinda whack. Drinks are a+++ & Jesse the waiter is glorious.
Happy hour everyday from 4:30 to 6:00pm. All those drinks are $5!!!!
If it sounds appetizing it probably is. Try their specialty drinks , I prefer the Dark and Stormy and Dr Funk .
Daily happy hour 4-6pm
Happy hour : Zombie and Dr. Funk . Or just go down the list!
Fish tacos and sweet potato fries . Great drinks. Great specials and kids menu , too.
Their Mai Tai will make you feel like you're in Hawaii.
Come here for happy hour
Remember to try its cocktail next time! Looks so great
Great food. The happy hour deals are always yummy.
Cajun burger and margarita with Avion silver
The food was good but it is not something extraordinary, next time for lunch I will prefer another place
Bao’s , coconut shrimp and Kingston Curry !
Da ali'i plate is great. And huge!
Spicy Edamame is great!
Lilikoi margarita , shrimp rolls ...mmm and Tuesday nights mean happy hour .
When needing your dose of Tiki be sure to go in for Mahalo Mondays when Hula's gives back ot local charities .
get the jawaiian jerk pork or the ribs . they are so delicious. probably everything here is delicious.
Vegan bowls are near perfect.✌🏻️
Their painkiller is excellent. Good blend of the coconut and nutmeg flavors.
Great place to eat. But on a busy night the drinks are expensive and not strong at all. I had two zombies and walked out without a buzz.
Ahí wontons are the best.
Amazing veggie burger . One of the best I've had.
Sweet plantains
Tuesday night is happy hour all night... Drinks and PuPus . Enjoy!
Fish here is amazing
Fun outdoor seating !
Zombie cocktail
Always Awesome food and Drinks
Try the Wasabi Fish Special
The rosettes are the best paste I ever tasted and the truffles are to die for - Nicky Camodeca
Breakfast burritto is delish! And the strawberry filled donut is yummy! - Melissa Begin
In love with blood orange olive oil and blackberry ginger vinegar. The guys here are super helpful in finding the right thing for you! - Myra Cortado
Fantastic house made ice cream joint. Burned marshmallow fluff as a topping! - Christian Herman
Strikes the perfect balance between big enough and not too big. Impressive programming for a small music venue in a small city, though the great vibe of both probably explains why bands keep coming. - Wilson Favre-Delerue
We love the boardwalk. There is food places inside. (try the funnel cakes), nice restrooms, And some fun rides. Try the historical great dipper roller coaster. Its the 5th oldewr coaster. 😁 - Chloe Wohlers
