  Omg! Ask if Sarah is working! She’s the best! Food is good and prepared well. Drinks are unique and interesting. The Bacon infused smoked bourbon is really good. But Sarah stole the show from the start with great service and friendly supportive suggestions. Note couldn’t get into the back room (speakeasy) but was well worth the price for the front of house.

  We went shopping at whole foods at Kahala and wanted to enjoy an early dinner, so we asked Chat GPT for some recommendations and it suggested The Surfing Pig.... So glad it did! The moment that we walked in Ray greeted us with a smile he embodied the Aloha Spirit ...later found out he's the General Manager! The bartender Keone...what a guy! All of his drinks were amazing! We had the Smoking Pig which is a smoked old-fashioned that comes with a piece of BACON! Very easy on the sweetness. We also had the mezcal margarita and the smoked Manhattan... All the drinks were amazing!! If you like your drinks more on the sweet side just let him know and he'll make them sweeter but if you like em boozie and not too sweet he's your guy!! We also got to meet the chef James, he's originally from the west side of the island, so proud of him!! the food was amazing, we loved the dry rub ribs and the Sunday special brisket and the creamy Brussel sprouts as well as their Kalua Pig...bruh the buggah taste like came straight outta da imu! Broke da mouth kine!!! Was one beautiful Sunday that felt like we was wit ohana! We garanz goin be back!!

  ⭐ 1,000,000 OUT OF 10 STARS ⭐ The Surfing Pig delivered one of the best dining experiences ever. If you're on Oahu, The Surfing Pig is a must-visit. Chef James deserves enormous praise. It's one thing for a restaurant to have a few great dishes; it's another to serve an entire feast without a single miss. Every plate that came to the table reflected incredible attention to detail, and it was clear that a tremendous amount of care went into creating such a memorable meal. Our group of seven ordered the bigger family meal, which gave us the chance to try everything the restaurant has to offer, and every single dish was outstanding. From the first bite to the last, the food was so good! The standout drink for me was their special bourbon made just for the restaurant—a remarkable combination of cherry, dark oak, and a smooth red-wine finish. A+! Wish the restaurant had the license to sell a bottle. 1,000,000 out of 10 stars. An unforgettable meal, and I'll absolutely be back should I ever venture out to Hawaii again!

  A hidden gem that feels like you’ve stumbled onto a neighborhood secret. Atmosphere: chill music, small but not crowded. It has that rare neighborhood spot energy where the details are dialed in. The menu is unique and you want to try everything! We had the truffle fries, crab cakes, chimichurri steak crostini’s, arugula feta salad, ribs, pork and chicken... and my old fashioned came smoky and with bacon! Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, and clearly made with pride. The portions were generous. We couldn’t finish several and took leftovers! Service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely hospitable without being overbearing. You can tell they take enjoy what they do. Kaimuki is lucky to have the Surfing Pig. We will be back!
