Description:
A great destination, particularly for water sport lovers, Haleiwa Town has much to offer. It can be reached  in under an hour's drive from Honolulu International Airport and Waikiki. It is located on the north shores of Oahu island. The town grew out of the inspiration of business man, Benjamin J Dillingham, who about a century ago opened a lodge in the middle of nowhere and named it Haleiwa meaning " House of Iwa"

His plan which involved placing railway tracks for transportation of products from his sugar plantation was to capitalize on his investment with a hotel where visitors would come to spend quality time and enjoy the nearby beach. Residents and visitors rode the train for years as the town grew, it adopted the name Haleiwa.

The old plantation town continues to welcome visitors from all over the world, even though the hotel is no longer. In 1984, it was designated as an historic, cultural, and scenic district.

The town provides a laid back environment, with shops, restaurants, galleries, and the perfect ambiance for spending quality time, taking advantage of the beach nearby and enjoying various water sports, or having an exciting and wonderful experience at Oahu north shores. The town offers various attractions and many different types of activities such as: Golf, gliding, hiking/biking, kayaking, skydiving, horseback riding, surfing and much more.

You will also be able to dine in some great restaurants offering fantastic Hawaiian cuisine, have the opportunity to learn the history and culture of the region from the Polynesian Cultural Center, visit places of interest such as Waimea Valey. Haleiwa town has lots on offer for enjoying Hawaii and the Pacific.

I've eaten at H-Joes many times and over all the food is good and service is
Overall:
I've eaten at H-Joes many times and over all the food is good and service is hit and miss but I keep going back. The prime-rib, salmon and coconut shrimp are dinners I have ordered and get on a regular basis and they are always good, the drinks are pricey but good. It's a great place to sit and enjoy your surroundings after a long day at the beach or work, the setting is overlooking the harbor. Don't ... morehesitate to go and enjoy, I recommend you get there early... or you will be waiting.

Horrible service, lies, and a raw steak
Overall:
Horrible service, lies, and a raw steak. I called at 9:10 pm and ordered a medium well done filet mignon to go for Valentines Day dinner with my busy student girlfriend. I was told it would take 20 minutes. I was on the road so I asked them to hold off 10 minutes and start it at 9:20pm so I could pick it up hot at 9:40pm. I arrived at 9:50 and to my surprise it "wasn't done yet." Well, at 10:10 - ... morean hour after my original order - I finally got my steak. No harm, right? "Minor setback and I'm on my way with my steak". Not quite. When I got home with flowers and a card to sit down with my girl next to her studies, we cut open a DRIPPING RED STEAK that had barely been browned around the edges. They obviously forgot about my order, rushed a cut onto the grill and browned it a bit, were deceptive about it, sent me away with an unacceptable product so bad that I had to re-cook my $30 steak myself in a sauce pan in front of my girlfriend while she waited, and they still had the gal to charge me full price for the steak before I left. When I called back to the location after dinner, I spoke to 'Joe', the manager. He didn't sound very moved. He told me that I was saying they "maliciously undercooked my steak" and that I should "get that out of my head". I didn't say anything about malice, just sheer irresponsibility. And "get that out of my head"??? Really? That's how you speak to customers? Then he makes it sound like it's my fault for ordering to-go and asking the hostess to delay entering my order for 10 minutes. I ASKED her if she could do that, and she said YES. I never insisted, and if they can't they can't. Just say so and be professional and honest about it. He's offering to refund the steak. Not comp me at all for the botched Valentines Day dinner. If they want it removed they can figure how to make the gross customer service right. Good luck. I won't be seen around Haleiwa Joes anytime soon!! Check out the attached picture of our 'medium-well' steak.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing
Overall:
The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing. I had the thai calamari for an appetizer and the fresh ahi for dinner and both were amazing. My husband had the sirloin steak and said it was the best he ever had. We found this place through locals and felt like we could not have eaten at a better place after viewing the sunset at the North Shore.

The food was good but the service was poor
Overall:
The food was good but the service was poor. We had to ask for refills from another waiter because ours was no where to be found and would skip over our table. All and all not worth the money we spent.

Food was okay, not worth the price
Overall:
Food was okay, not worth the price. My husband got a $10 alcoholic drink that tasted and felt like it had nothing in it at all. We got our meals at the same time as our appetizer and the pulled pork was not very good. The bun was soggy and neither of us wanted to eat it. We both felt our $45 meal should have been more like $20 with the quality.
