Wrangler's Steakhouse & Saddle Room Bar

Easy to make reservations, great staff that provided friendly service and helpful recommendations! Side salad was generous and fresh, steaks were perfectly seasoned, mashed potatoes were delicious and the mixed veggies were really good! We were full but had to have the lava cake and it did not disappoint! Overall great experience and value. We'll be back!

Wife picked this place for birthday dinner. Had the Wrangler Burger with garlic fried, she had the Filet and we had Lava cake. Food was good, prices very reasonable, good service. Would eat here again for sure!

short and sweet. the food tastes great and the portions aren’t colossal but still filling. the atmosphere is beautiful, very laidback and warm. the service was also exceptional, our server was very attentive and polite (kaila). great selection for a steakhouse.

I enjoy Wrangler"s any night but Wednesday is my favorite accentuated by the Prime Rib and the Baked Potato. I took my brother and friends from Texas and they had nothing but compliments and felt the Prime Rib met Texas standards. The attentiveness of the servers is always over and above typical. I do suggest making a reservation.

Keenan was great server. Food came out fast. Everyone loved the food. We will be back.

Very delicious food. I personally can highly recommend the Pūlehu Steak or the BBQ Pork Ribs. The waiters were very kind and swift in serving the food and drinks. Would go here again if I'm ever returning to Hawaii.

Great steak and great service! The keawe smoked steak was so ono, best steak on island by far.

Wranglers Steakhouse is a family favorite ours. Usually we stay on the northern end of the island and just stop in on our way back from Waimea Canyon, this time we were just staying down the road. First, make sure you call ahead and make reservations. Many times not needed but especially on weekends can catch them being very busy. Food always solid, I ordered the 10 oz appetizer ny sizzling steak rare, comes out on a super hot platter still cooking. Ended up, spot on medium rare. Had onions and mushrooms on top and was very tasty. My wife had the Wrangler Burger, she ordered it medium rare, came out closer to medium and was a little dry. Now it should be noted that the steaks at the restaurant are sourced from the mainland and the ground beef is from Kauai. This does affect the flavor profile. Local beef has a slightly different flavor which gives it character. Now where this place shines is on atmosphere. There is no other place like it on the island. On weekends they have local artists that are top notch. Last night theme was western/Hawaiian. We had a great time, arrived at 7 pm with a reservation and departed a little after 9. This is not a location overrun with tourists. It a place where locals enjoy a great meal, catch up with family and friends. Which if they did not come with, will run into while there. Tourists are the exception not the rule. It is as far from the north shore scene as you can get, literally and figuratively speaking. Definitely, I would recommend eating here. Enjoy.

THE BEST bread pudding. Seriously, go try it and thank me later. The mud pie is good, too, but we will be dreaming of that bread pudding. Super friendly server who made sure we were well taken care of when they were out of a few menu items (hey, it happens on an island in the Pacific!). The sizzling ahi platter is easily made a meal and the steaks are perfectly cooked. The Saddle Room is right next door, so don't be confused when you look up the menu and it's the same as Wrangler's.

FIRST UP: DO NOT BE FOOLED THIS IS THE EXACT SAME BUSINESS AS THE SADDLE ROOM. Confusing, perplexing service. Most of the menu they are out of. Really low-rent sides. (veggies out of a microwave bag) Steak was A-OK. If you want a steak, and maybe a water to dump all over it (sloppy steaks!)...this place is great. Everyone else should probably go elsewhere. Oh yeah: there was also a person playing live music. And by playing live music, I mean singing and holding a guitar and not actually playing it while guitar notes came out of a speaker.

This is such a cute restaurant. It's got that western feel vibe. They sell cowboy hats and other various western paraphernalia. We ordered Mai Tai's and Old Fashions. I'll attach a video of the Old Fashion presentation. The drinks were wonderful. We actually ordered another round after dinner so that we could stay and listen to the musician. He was amazing as well. Our party ordered shrimp scampi, steak and shrimp scampi, and the rib eye. All of the plates were wonderful. The meat was juicy and cooked to perfection. The shrimp had an amazing garlic flavor. We did not wait long for our food after ordering. The service was fantastic. Our waitress was on top of our every need. She constantly checked back with us to make sure we were not lacking a thing. This was an absolutely top notch experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to you.

This was a fantastic restaurant we stumbled upon after a visit to Waimea Cyn. Such a cool Wild West appeal at a steakhouse in Kauai! The place was busy and a house full of locals! We were definitely in the right place! We sat at the long picnic table in the bar and had excellent service! The drinks were great and so were our dinners! There were 6 of us and everyone was very happy with their food! My NY steak was a bit tough for such a high end cut of meat but tasted really good! If you're looking for a steakhouse in the Waimea area? Highly recommend coming here!

Loved the food and the service! Steaks were grilled to the doneness of our liking and staff were authentic and polite. Prices are reasonable considering it's Kauai. I'm thinking we'll return once more before leaving. We ordered: calamari, peppered steak, another ribeye and the tempura plate. Yummy all around!

We got our food to go. Took longer than expected but the food was delicious. I got the shrimp scampi pasta it was excellent the shrimp was super fresh and the sauce was really tasty. My husband got the ribeye, he really enjoyed it and the garlic mash was really good. Overall it was a solid good meal and we definitely will be back when in Kauai.

Place is located at the mouth of the canyon. Great after hike location with outdoor seating. Went there in the summer and winter. Summer is a little hot with flies in outdoor.. winter was perfect. They serve local grass fed beef so farm to table as you can get.. steak was awesome.. I left no fat scraps as the total steak was trimmed perfectly before cooking.

Excellent service, high quality food. Beautiful ambiance. This place was pumping when we went out to eat here. Their staff made our large table of 8 feel like we were the only ones there.

This would be my 1st time eating at this establishment.So I was very excited when we were coming here for dinner!.We came on a Sunday so it wasn't that bz.I like the western theme of the place!Very Cool!!.After being seated we ordered our drinks n soon after we ordered appetizers.We got the Parmesan garlic chicken wings and fried Calamari.Both were perfectly cooked.Crunchy and full of flavor.Soon after we all placed our order.So my girlfriend had the 7oz Ribeye sizzling platter with side order of sautéed mushrooms,green beans,carrots and broccoli.My girlfriend's daughter got the 8oz Filet Mignon,She loved it but she couldn't finish n too the rest home.Her Boyfriend had the 14pz prime Rib.He no Problem's.Its his favorite when he comes here.As for myself I had the salmon Caesar salad.So good!!.Next time I'm definitely be ordering their steaks.We enjoyed our selfs and the service was awesome!.So when visiting the town of Waimea come here for good food n friendly staff..

Steak was cooked perfectly. Service good. Nice spot with parking. I had issue with the additional UNMENTIONED charges..... $2 for "bartenders pour" for the $12 Jameson. $5 extra for a baked potato. And $.50 for garlic fries. No mentions of these charges on the menu nor from server. The menu mentions credit card surcharge which I understand. But to add these fees without mention wasn't cool.

This is an awesome spot for some good old fashion meat or chicken when you're at Kauai. Very tasty! So delicious!...A must ... especially if you are heading towards or back from Napali!

Reservations are a must here as it gets crowded. I love to reserve the back porch as it's outside and covered and they do not have a ton of tables there. The steaks are delicious and definitely the best on Kauai. The mixed vegetables were fresh and properly cooked not mushy and had nice seasoning on it. The portions were good I did not leave hungry. Wines were basic here and the call drinks were good but basic. Prices point was very good for Kauai.

Wow !!!! If I could give it more stars I would. First off, I missed my reservation by 45 minutes which was totally my fault, I got the times wrong. The girls were so sweet and it worked out that we ended up eating down by the bar, by the AC and we had the BEST time!!!! The service was superb, they made us feel like ohana. We absolutely LOVED it !!!!!!! Food was amazing, Wranglers is known for their lamb and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. My husband had the Elk and he really liked it. The bread pudding was to die for. We will definitely be back !!!!

Omg!!! Best freshest filet ever!! Mai Tai was good too. Seafood tempura was yummy too. Staff friendly and great atmosphere.

Dinner in Waimea, Kaua'i.... I love coming to this restaurant when visiting the island of Kaua'i. This time, we had 6 of us on our table. Since my sister mentioned they make a fabulous chimoy martini, I needed to give it a try. She was absolutely spot on. I love the li hing mui rim making it sweet and salty. For dinner, I was hungry for a burger, and my niece suggested the Wrangler burger that came with bacon, cheese and mushrooms. For a little $ more, I ordered the garlic fries instead of regular. I did enjoy the burger. Even though the patty tasted like it needed more salt by itself, the other things on the burger balanced it out well. I tried rack of lamb leg from my husband's plate and it was very tender without any gamey taste. Our waitress, Shara, had us in stitches! She was so funny. The rest of the staff were also very friendly. We all left very satisfied with our meal. Definitely will come back here again.

Was recommended by our first mate on our Napoli Coast boat tour. Shout out to Raquel (Rocky). She said to get the local Kauai burgers. We all 4 got one and they were great. Garlic fries were awesome as well. Drinks were really good also. I had the margarita and a couple others had the Moscow Mule. Brother really liked the Mango Mule. Would definitely recommend. Service was excellent and waiter was extremely nice and helpful.

Great steakhouse with fun cowboy aesthetic throughout the restaurant. The cocktails are amazing! But the real showstopper is their steaks. We drinks we had the chamoi martini and passionate mai tai. Both were sweet but enjoyed the tropical sweetness. For the appetizer we ordered the ahi sizzle (seared ahi with onion, asparagus, and tomatoes). For my entree, I ordered the pulehu steak, filet mignon with garlic butter sauce. Opted for the garlic mashed potatoes which was the perfect complement to the garlic butter sauce from the steak. Ordered a draft beer to go along with my steak. Highly recommend getting a reservation if you plan to come in the evening as the restaurant fills up fast. Or go early when they first open to avoid the dinner rush. We went after hiking in Waimea canyon.

We've been meaning to try this steak house, and we finally made it there last night. This is a true steakhouse, ambiance and all. Super cute western gear gift shop!!!!!!! My husband had the rib eye and my sister and I had shrimp scampi....ALL OF IT SO DELICIOUS. The service was top notch, probably the best service experience on island. No kidding. We'll be back

Great low key restaurant. We went on a saturday night and it was very busy. I would definitely recommend reservations. They had live music which was really good. The service was the best we have had on the whole island. The steaks were cooked good as was the sea food. They also had a custom hat shop attached to the restaurant , which the kids loved. I think everything was priced well for the quailty!

This was a spur of the moment stop for dinner on our last day driving around. The place itself was pretty cool with a western theme. It was pretty early but the entire bar area was packed so we were lucky enough to have the only booth. I got a ribeye and mashed potatoes. It really hit the spot, so much so that there was Nothing left - absolutely nothing

Everything was awesome including the background music. It also appeared that a lot of locals also were in attendance. The prices were reasonable and the cocktails terrific!

The price was more than fair! $14 for a bacon cheeseburger with fries in 2024 is unheard of at a real restaurant. Damn good burger too. Asked for medium rare got a medium rare crispy bacon nice bun not over soggy. A second piece of bacon on there would have been nice, but otherwise otherwise good

Food and service have always been excellent. We go on Thursdays every time we're on the island, to enjoy Nick Castillo's performance.

Service was great. So friendly. Wasn't a fan of how the Buffalo wings were breaded. My medium rare sizzling steak was kind of over cooked and tough. Tasted under seasoned as well. The steak & scampi. The scampi pasta was delicious and that alone was a 5/5. My husband didn't like his wrangler burger because there was way too much char flavor on the patty. The peach cobbler arrived looked more like a peach pie. It was pretty tasty though. Overall 3.5

One of the best food spots in town, check it out! They're only open for dinner Tuesday to Saturday. Friendly service and a very country western decor.

Best steak we have had on the island so far! The garlic filet and the ribeye were cooked to perfection and great flavor! Mashed potatoes great too and lovely, friendly service. Highly recommend!!

The food is great! A little pricey but worth it. Had the ribeye and cobbler for dessert.

What a wonderful, delightful dinner. We came here for my birthday and had a great time. The food was so delicious and service was attentive, friendly, funny and so caring. They put a candle in our peach cobbler and comped the dessert. Also, we really enjoyed the live music. It was really beautiful. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome service. Friendy waitresses. And the Rack of Lamb...what can I say but Onolicious.

Amazing food and even better service!! I'm in town for a week and stopped by here on my second night only to come back a few days later and plan on going once more before I leave!! Have had the Wrangler burger, Tinono, garlic Parmesan wings, and the mango cobbler (twice) and literally every bite has exceeded expectations! The burger has a smokey taste to it which I wasn't expecting but was pleasantly surprised by! Keenan at the bar let me know that it has been voted best burger in Hawaii before and I can see why! First time having tinono and I'm upset I haven't had it before. A different taste than I'm used to with the garlic and soy sauce but mixed with the tomatoes, onion, and pork belly it has a great balance and flavor profile. I've never had garlic parmesan wings like this before as they were almost smothered in sauce but really worth a try for something flavorful and different! I'm a big fan of wings and these are some of the better ones I've had! And the mango cobbler is literally what brought me back for my second visit!! So simple and so good!! The crust is light and crispy and the mango is perfectly sweet! The ice cream on top brings a change in texture and brings it all together! Seriously a must try!! Had the pleasure of sharing some beers and great conversation with Alicia, Keenan, and Marissa (owner) at the bar and the hospitality was world class!! I would come back for the inviting conversations alone! Great restaurant and bar with even better people!! Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in Waimea to try food cooked with love and a side of Ohana!!

I want to give it 5 but it doesn't hit like it used to. Shrimp scampi seems to be a hit or miss whenever I order. I feel like the portion sizes got smaller. I stood at the register as 3 waitresses walked right past me and not one greeted me or told me someone will be with me shortly. Idk I feel like the vibes were off and I used to be a regular at one point.

Had reservations for 6:30pm and we arrived 1/2hr early, so we hung out till our table was ready even tho had a lot of other tables open, but not sure the system the use for seating people. Drink order was taken had some issues with that but got it figured out! Then our order was taken but waitress seemed flustered and a bit short with us. Understood everyone got things going on we know nothing about. Food was ok. And I guess we all felt let down because we read soooooooooo many great reviews and even or friend that lives on island said she heard good things. But it was a great night wrapping up our trip here! Aloha

Another Reason Why Our Wranglers Are Great Food Great Service Music Atmosphere Beautiful You can Even Do Your Parties At Wranglers Owner Are Locals Makes You Feel Comfortable

We love wranglers and saddle room! Tinono, garlic fries, and burgers are my faves. And I highly suggest their margaritas.

Their food and deserts are very delicious. The servers are friendly and pretty attentive. A downer is their hosts. Hence why my rating is not at a 5 star. I call and leave messages for reservations and they don't call back to confirm a yes or no. When I finally get to talk to someone on the phone to make a reservation the host doesn't sound professional. It was very noisy on their end when I was trying to make a reservation via phone and she kept saying that it's hard to hear me, coming off like it was on my end that the loud noise was coming from. The last time I walked in to the restaurant there were two hosts that just stared even when I have approached the check-in counter. I thought it was very unprofessional that I had to be the one to initiate the greeting first. Hosts need proper training so they can match the quality of service and the quality of food.

While vacationing in beautiful Kaua'i, we stumbled upon this absolute gem after a long day enjoying the beautiful sights of Waimea Canyon. There were 9 of us in total, and the hostess warmly greeted us and then promptly sat us at one of their large tables. Our waiter must have been right on her heels because as soon as she left, he was at our table taking drink orders. Our drinks were to us within minutes and were always promptly filled. They have an excellent selection of entrees to choose from, with something for just about everyone. I chose the fish special, which was a Panko crusted Ono with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed fresh vegetables. Our table also enjoyed the ribs, the pistachio crusted salmon, shrimp scampi, and the wrangler burger. For desert, if you are a fan of bread pudding, this is hands down the best I've ever had! They also had a mango cobbler and peach cobbler, which were both delicious. My daughter had the lava cake, which she enjoyed to the last bite. This restraunt is a must! We didn't get any pictures of it, but in all seriousness, save room for the bread pudding!

If you are a steak person come here immediately ! I was so sad I didn't get to come here more frequently throughout my stay. I had the Pulehu Steak it was cooked to perfection and had so much flavor. I really think this might have been the best steak I've ever had in a restaurant. It was so delicious I savored every bite. Server was very fast and friendly , was able to answer all the questions we had about the menu. The ambience here is cool like an old cowboy saloon. Indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit outside as the live band inside made it a little hard to talk over. They also sold some of their farm fresh steaks for you to take home yourself, I wish I had tried that once before returning to the mainland. If I'm on Kauai again I am definitely coming back here. It is an island and a steakhouse so expect it to be pricey but it was so worth it.

We stopped in on a whim. Lots of good options. Super friendly staff. They've been there for years. The Pupu (starter for you mainlanders) platter with calamari, crab cake and a small NY steak with mushrooms. THE best crabcake we've ever had! Calamari was perfect, tender with a super light coating (panko?) . Hubby had the large NY strip served on a hot platter. For dessert, we tried their bread pudding and OMG again the best I've ever had.

Wife took me for my birthday. I had the ribeye with pepper sauce, she the fish of the day, the Monching. Both were cooked perfectly. As we are both from Kauai we know what to expect with grass fed beef as we have been buying off the hoof for decades. And this was as good as it gets. Beefier, but tender. Properly aged ranch beef. Our waitress and server were fantastic, the Hawaiian music was good as was the Mango Cobbler we shared. BTW, we also asked to share the wedge salad and both plates came out as individual portions, individually dressed. With a smile.

Friendly staff. Cost of food rather pricey for what you get. Very relaxing atmosphere. Love the live music.

Stopped because we saw the storefront which looked like it had class and character, also wanted local beef. Oh the smell of the wood fire! Had the wrangler burger- wow! Smokey flavor hit the spot, bun was delish and I am so satisfied- excellent flavor combos great atmosphere and super friendly staff! Do the canyon loop and end with dinner here!

Was disappointed that the salad bar went away mainly due to Covid. Keep wishing it will return. On the bright side the quality of the food is still delish if not even better. Was pleasantly surprised that they have "soup of the day" & they had one of my favorites oxtail! The broth was tasty not oily, carrots was cooked perfect & the oxtail fell off the bone (I had the bowl - it was filling & under $15) simple presentation that packed a lot of punch. Sizzling Steak on the appetizer menu was as always even better so juicy & tender. Sashimi fresh and had a good texture. We sat in the bar area "Saddle Room" best cocktails & bartenders around. It's always my place to go when I visit the island. Went on a Friday, live entertainment, place was a mix of locals & tourist. Staff is always smiling & friendly. If you're on the westside of the island it's the place to go to have a great meal!

Hands down the best place to eat in Waimea. I have dined here on many occasions as there are not many places to eat in Waimea. Customer service was exceptional with the staff being very friendly and sharing their aloha. You can either dine outside or inside. This is a non air conditioned restaurant. I usually get the peppered or garlic steaks. Their steak are a little above average, not the best that I have tasted, but satisfies my belly. All of the dinner entrees include the salad and soup bar. Wrangler's is a solid choice for a steakhouse in Waimea.

We went to wranglers to watch a friend who was singing on a Saturday night. We made reservations in advance so we were seated right away. I was blown away by how good the food was! I had the calamari and crab cakes for pupus and they were both delish. I have the crusted Ono for my entree and I loved it. So good!

We absolutely LOVED this place. I think it ended up being our favorite restaurant on the island. We sat in the bar area- adding a pic of the 'bar stools' saddles. So cute. Amazing steak & lobster, super friendly service and go for the homemade cobbler for dessert. It takes 20 minutes but is worth the wait. We can't wait to visit again.

This place should be talked about more. Great food, great service, live music. We loved it! Great drink menu, great steaks. I wish we'd had room to try the desserts! Next time...

The food is great. The ambience is a alright as well. It has this modern paniolo vibe with the decor. The main reason for low rating is because of the fact that every time I come to eat here and have made reservations, they don't honor the reservation time. We got seated 15-20 minutes later because they were waiting for a table to pay. Mind you there were 3-4 available tables, which they ended up seating us at. I've tried to make excuses for them being busy, but with how often it happens it doesn't make sense. Just calling to make a reservation is a bit frustrating. Majority of the time they don't answer and when they actually do answer they come off a bit rude. I'm not sure if they need a better system so that reservations go smoother but they need to do something. It saddens me that an establishment that helps bring life to Waimea town is not to the standard that it could be.

Nicole our server was super helpful, polite and attentive. The quality vs cost here is amazing. I can't wait for the all you can eat salad bar to return. Everyone in this photo Ate Steak and Baked potatoes for $275. Theres 9 of us. I dare you to beat that cost on Kauai.

Bad service, we try to get a seating at six they said they were too busy at six. I got there at 5:30 and at six the place was almost empty, then we waited, more than half an hour for our food, I forgot they forgot our appetizer and decided to serve it after our dinner. add Service rude waiters don't go here.
