Waimea Brewing Co.
9400 Kaumualii Highway
Waimea, HI 96796

Foodies: Jen and Dan

Ordered: Curlie Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, and Beer.

We stopped at the Waimea Brewing Co. for a beer and a snack. After being seated in the outdoor dining area we were abandoned by the wait staff. We sat there for a good 15 minutes before Dan got up to ask the bartender if we had a server. The bartender sent a waiter over who looked like he hadn’t slept in days or just finished smoking copious amounts of pot. The waiter said something to the effect that he just about to leave? I guess his shift was ending and he was hoping to get out of there without having to wait on us? I don’t know. We placed our order for two beers and fries and we were abandoned again. The beer showed up after another 15 minutes and the food 5 minutes after that. When our fries showed up we ordered another round of beer in fear that we would be abandoned again, which we were. So there we sat in beautiful Waimea drinking our beers and eating our fries, watching an older rooster intimidate younger roosters. When we were finished Dan had to hunt down someone to get our check.  Note: don’t order the sweet potatoes fries they suck. The beer on the other hand was flavorful and yummy.
After we paid we took a walk down to the beach and watched the sunset. The beach was beautiful but not friendly. The surf would certainly kick your butt and send you the hospital, but it was surreal to watch.
Overall: If you don’t care about service, like being ignored and good beer, this is the place for you. Otherwise skip it.
