Or The Steak Shack. Tough to find if you don't know where it is, but it is awesome. Plate lunch on the beach, doesn't get much better than that.

Before he went on the show, it was a nice, mellow, local crowd....could always find a place to sit....and no huge lines.
After he went on the show....that place went nuts....to the point we stopped eating there.
Rainbow, Murphy's, Hanks, and several other places are the same way now..... They hit Bourdain or Triple D and every damn tourist in the world has to eat there so they can brag that they were there when they were out here...

the more casual the better. I don't mind paying a little for it but not Morton's type prices for two kids who just want to woof it down and go back to the beach
We hit Outback here at home on Friday and Saturday so that tells you what we are looking for
My youngest wants to go to Outback Hawaii.. I said, I hope we can do better LOL
What is this Steak Shack place?

Steak Shack is delicious but a very casual, plate lunch kind of place - not a sit down place - right on the beach. It is only open until 7pm so lunch or an early dinner. Grab a plate and head to the beach, which is literally steps away. But cheap and yummy.
It can be kind of tricky to find but if you go to the corner of Kalia Rd and Saratoga (Trump Tower is right there), there is a paved path leading to the beach bordering Fort DeRussy. Walk down the path all the way to the beach (you will pass a Subway) and it is in the group of stores and cafes on your left.

I'll repeat advice from a few days ago. Chuck's Waikiki. Not pretentious at all, a decent steak, fantastic location.

So what would make a good anniversary dinner restaurant in Waikiki? Will be staying at HHV but will have a car too. Looking for good food (seafood & steaks type) with nice ambiance and good service. A view would be great but not mandatory. Looking to stay under $50 per entree. No chain restaurants please. I can get those all here in L.A.
