If your looking for one of the shiny, polished resort restaurants, this is not it. It is a folksy, casual place that is a bit dark in the interior of the Old Koloa Town shopping area. That said the food is above average to great depending on what you order. The fish and chips was great and we went back... more

I ordered the macadamia crusted fish (can't remember which kind), but it was excellent - very gourmet-like. I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also had mai tais. Also very good. A little strong for me, but for my hubby it was perfect. The dining room was very nice and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely go back. more

After nosing around Koloa we were in the mood to sit for a while and decided to try Tomkatz. It is a cute place. Our luch was tasty, the beer very cold and the service was excellent. Prices were reasonable. more

We had just come from snorkeling and were starving. We walked into Koloa and went into Tomkats because it was the first restaurant we came to. The menu was ok, but many items aren't available until dinner. We asked if our son could get corn chips instead of fries with his hamburger and we got a long lecture instead about... more

I loved the food and service, my wife was put off by ants in the surrounding area. In defense of TomKats it does have a garden of sorts in the middle of everything, that will tend to harbor a few insects. Like I said, I loved the food. more

Tomkats is right in the middle of Old Koloa Town. The dining area, an old "woody" area, is open air, adjacent to a very nice tree and plant laden patio. This is a very casual place, and we found it very pleasant. Our service was prompt and friendly. I was in the mood for a hamburger, and had read that... more

April 22-29, 2008 and April, 2006 - Still the quaintest little eating place in Koloa. Please don't look for white table cloths, fancy napkins, crystal and high priced china. This is just a great eatery with a beautiful patio area and living trees and plants along with a cat and chicken or two. The tables and chairs are average but... more

It WAS a nice, friendly and kick-back place to grab a casual bite for a reasonable price. New management has taken care of that. SLOooow service granted almost grudgingly, and the food has fallen into a pool of grease. We are truely sad to see such potential go. BETTER: Try the bento plate at the end of the strip of... more

While on vacation in Kauai, we stumbled upon Tomkats Grille. Our first visit was for breakfast. We all enjoyed the food and the waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant was in a cute little strip in the town of Koloa along with small shops, an ice cream store, and a few other restaurants. It was hard to find a place... more

4 of us ate there for dinner on our way to Poipu from Lihue. 3 of us were served, food was just passable. The appetizer we ordered arrived when we were totally finished with dinner. 4th dinner came after 1 hour, after repeated requests/reminders. We finally asked to speak to the manager, and she comped us the 4th dinner. Obviously... more
