No trip to Kauai is complete without a trip to Puka Dog. These are big polish sausages stuffed into a fresh roll with a hole cut through the center. I had the spicy which was not very spicy, they use a lemon garlic butter on the sausage. I had it with the coconut relish and liloki mustard. It is the... more

my husband and i ate here 3 times in 5 days! i never would have paired something sweet with a sausage, but it was amazing. i got mild/pineapple relish/lilikoi mustard every time. my husband had mild/mango/dijon mustard. if you don't like mayo, i recommend getting something other than the mild secret sauce. the handsqueezed lemonade was great, too! i actually... more

I got the Mild/Original Secret Sauce I got Coconut Relish... more

We absolutely adore Puka Dog, however on this last visit (Sept 09), there was far less sauce, relish & mustard compared to years past. Having all the goop just ooze out with every bite was what made Puka Dog so good. I know lots of folks think there is too much of it, so maybe they have cut back due... more

Puka Dog is something you should try. The bread is amazingly soft. I thought the relish I used was too sweet and would opt for a little more heat if I were to return. Good lemonade. more
