We were recommended Quinn's for their fish and chips; being English one of my favorite meals. Perhaps, we got them on an off day; I was certainly disappointed. The meal was OK but by no means memorable. The atmosphere was so-so, and combined with so-so service it's probably not a place I would go back anytime soon. Not horrible but... more

Quinn's has great atmosphere (we ate on the outdoor patio) and was a good value, considering the cost of food in Hawaii. We had two keikis with us (ages 2.5 and 5). The kids menu was reasonably priced and we were pleasantly surprised to be handed Magna-doodles to entertain them until the food came. Perfect. All four of us had... more

It was clear as we walked in that this was a place revered by locals. Don't let that keep you away. The bar was a little "active," but we ate in the "room" at the back--an open air grotto, sort of, with orchids all around. The server was very friendly, and you'll definitely want to try the house potatoes. We... more

We got back in from a night scuba dive around 10pm, and asked our hotel (King Kam across the street) where we could walk to grab a quick bite - that was not fast food. Quinn's fit the bill. Even though they were closing in 30 minutes the food was fresh, portions large, and waitstaff attentive. Don't expect gourmet, don't... more

I made the mistake of going here again....being tired from the flight, and forgetting how enormously average or below, this place is. I tried on a previous trip and fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....well, you get it. I've now had or tasted four entrees, and from the Cobb salad to the Pastrami sandwich, etc., the food... more

We enjoyed our dinner at Quinn's and had no trouble with parking--we parked at the hotel across the street, and Quinn's validated the ticket so that we were not charged a fee. The ono fish and chips was delicious, and there was a huge amount of it--more than I could finish. Service was friendly and quick, and we found the... more

Our family recently had the fresh fish and chips at Quinns. After eating there, all four us felt sick. My husband was sick for two days and is still not feeling 100%. The one positive point of our experience was the good service and friendly waitress. more

This is a great place for outdoor seating if it is raining or super hot. The patio is covered and surrounded by rock walls as well as tons of plants. It's cozy and free of traffic noise and passers by. The fish & chips are really good! The service is pretty good as well. It is definitely worth a stop. more

Do not go here unless you can stomach a restaurant overrun by cockroaches. We observed the hostess killing a roach numerous times during our visit. To her credit, after she killed them she would wipe it up with a towel and wash and sanitize her hands. As far as the food and atmosphere are concerned, I really can't say. I... more
