Hula Hut

These fine folks are unabashedly proud to share fishing stories and add grilled pineapple to just about everything. When your ideal vibe is “Tiki but make it 1997-no-cranes-in-the-skyline,” and you really want to be among the raucous, lei-draped happy hour crowd, get thee to the lake and order Mexinesian shrimp flautas.
