Wrangler's Steakhouse, Waimea

Located about 40 minutes from Lihue, this steakhouse is one of the fancier eating spots on Kauai's West Side. The restaurant offers a lot of country style in a casual setting. Since it's not hard to find, it has become a local landmark. Not many tourists end up here for dinner, but the locals come to enjoy some of the freshest fish and tastiest steaks in the area. The simple menu offers typical surf and turf dishes with an optional salad bar. There is lots of free parking along the highway or near the entrance. - Lottie Tagupa
