Hawaii Living with Anne Lee: Hula Grill and South Shore Grill

Aug 29, 2026

Two Oahu restaurants are leaning on local suppliers and Father's Day specials to keep customers coming in, good news for diners looking for deals during a slow stretch.

  • Hula Grill in Waikiki is running Father's Day-only dishes — a pulled pork omelet, deconstructed spicy ahi poke, and prime rib — with live music midday and reservations advised.
  • The restaurant is open through a full hotel remodel, and the finished space will bring a relocated bar, updated look, and a new happy hour menu.
  • A rotating monthly hula pie flavor is the current draw, alongside a rotating tap list from Hawaii breweries and local ice cream.
  • South Shore Grill on Monsarrat Avenue has run 20 years on mixed-plate cooking that blends Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese, and Cajun flavors, with everything made in house.
  • Its scratch desserts — peanut butter cookie cups, pumpkin crunch, dense chocolate cake — routinely sell out the same day.

Outlook: Both spots stay open daily through the summer, with Hula Grill's remodel finishing later and a reopening celebration planned.
