We attempted Bobby's on four separate occasions, thinking our bad experiences were just a fluke because we had heard good things from one reliable friend. Twice at the former location, and now, twice at the new location.\r
Our water once again remained unfilled, the barbecue chicken was covered in charred black bits, the laulau is sadly sized and appears to be made elsewhere, portions were smaller than in Hawai'i, and ahi/mahi was overpriced. We even took pictures of our food to send to the referral friend who moved back to Waimea. He was appalled.\r
If you would like to see them, let us know.\r
For some reason the ""Mahalo's"" feel cold and the contact is terse and false, not at all like being back home.\r
If people think this is true plate lunch or Hawai'ian fare, they are missing out. Aloha Plates in Uwajimaya Seattle has fresher food and tastes more authentic. Try Kauai Family on 6th in Seattle for the real deal.\r
We are born & raised kama'aina to Kona & Lihue, we know the food inside & out, we cook it, we live it, it is part of our culture. \r
Try it to see if it fits you, we gave it too many chances, and will not go back.\r
Pros: a little bit of home, music
Cons: food, service, prices
