Land

Our Polynesian ancestors understood the importance of sustainability long before it became a catchphrase. These rugged islands, formed from volcanic activity, nurtures us through their rich soil, vibrant waterways and moderate temperatures.

Pounders Restaurant

Where sea, land & sky come together

We gain our name from a local beach, less than 1 mile away. A space where the sea meets the land through the crash of waves pushed by the salty wind from the east. It is iconic Hawaii. We used that inspiration to create a space dedicated to that power of nature; evident in how we play, how we rest, and what we eat. Pounders focuses on using local fresh-picked produce, maintainable fishing practices, and earth friendly/chemical free food production.

Customer Reviews

Man! The best fish tacos I’ve ever had! I like fish tacos, and am often let down by fancier restaurants when compared to a simple Rubio’s fish taco. This blew the competition away. This is the new standard for fish tacos. The pizza was excellent and I believe wood fired.

Tyson Terry

Every time I go in, I receive great service. The employees are always happy with guests and each other. It’s crazy. Everything I order, I love and want to order again or get a recipe. It is extremely affordable for the quality and is always a good time.

Jonna Wittwer

Had a nice lunch with family. Shrimp tacos were delicious! Pineapple cheesecake and pumpkin crunch dessert were so good. Their bakery was fantastic and we took home some coconut rolls for breakfast. Service was great and all the staff was friendly and helpful.

Had a pretty tasty burger with some delicious fries. Also the shirmp tacos are pretty good. Reasonable prices, really good service I sat outside and this young kid named Don was very good at his job some of the best customer service I’ve had in Hawaii.
