Total chain, but they're kinda fun anyhow. Nice causal atmosphere w/ everyone in Hawaiian shirts and shorts. The food is nice, with a beach theme to their salads, burgers, tacos and other goodies. I have to admit, I really like their teriyaki chicken & pineapple soft tacos. Their Northshore tacos are pretty good too with their marinated shredded chicken, but better if you get a side of sour cream.
I have lots of friends who are big fans of their burgers, but they've never been my thing. Their cheddar fries are another thing all together. I know how wrong it is to get a platter of cheese fries, with folks eating them with both fingers and fork, but somehow that works here....
Final bonus big booths to fit an easy 8. And if the surf videos playing or the fake birds in the fake trees are too much for you, they've got decent bar area.
