Circle Island NACHO TOUR: Kemo'o Farms Pub & Grill + Sunset BBQ at Mokuleia

After eating our 4th nachos of the Circle Island Nacho Tour, we decided that there was no way we were going to be able to accomplish our goal of 5 nachos. We were stuffed! We stopped by the store for some drinks and headed to my friend's house in Waialua to go to a beach BBQ. Not to eat of course, but to enjoy the sunset, have some drinks, and spend some time with friends. It was so beautiful. One of my favorite dogs, Chloe, was running around on the beach. We had a kite that was so fun to fly, it was like being a 5 year old again. The water was clear and calm. It was the perfect ending to our day. After the sun set, we decided it was time to get on the road since the ladies not only had to drop me off in Waikiki, but then drive all the way to Ko'olina to get back to their hotel.

By the time we got to Wahiawa, we all had to pee pretty bad. When we got to Kemo'o Farms Pub & Grill, I told Leah that we should stop there to pee because I know they have a bathroom. Thank goodness for that stop or I don't think we could have made it much further.  So then, as we start to leave, we notice that they have nachos on the menu. Fu*k it, let's have another one ladies! We were already so late getting back, what's another hour?

So there we were sitting at the bar with a super friendly bartender and somehow we had the room in our bellies for our 5th order of nachos of the day in the Circle Island Nacho Tour. We did it! We completed our goal! The bar was super cute and reminded me of dive bars back home. I think the Nacho Friends would have a really good time coming to this place. The nachos were yummy and not just boring pub nachos. The staff (Nikki - Lo) were amazing to us!  We would come back just for them if not to eat those yummy nachos again. I think the secret is the chips are made to order. That makes them taste so much better. You can put a bunch of mediocre toppings on fresh chips and the nachos will be yummy! Just like you can put a bunch of awesome toppings on crappy chips and the chips can ruin it. Chips are key my friends.

Hey Ladies!

Nachos ($8.50) - Melted cheddar, tomatoes, onions, black olives & jalapenos. Add steak, chicken, kalua pork, or ground beef for $2.50

 

Shananigans (4) - PRESENTATION: Olives, cheese, looks melty. RAD: Chips are made to order so they are thin and crispy and hold the crisp well even with all those toppings. I love olives on nachos! The chicken has good flavor. LAME: Unmelted cheese!  Gross tomatoes. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 3.25, unmelted cheese makes the toppings fall off when you grab a chip. Exactly what we needed to end the night. Love the divey pub atmosphere with super friendly staff.

Carly (5) - PRESENTATION: Excellent presentation, traditional looking nachos. RAD: crispy chips, good portion size, love the atmosphere. LAME: Nothing was lame! TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 4, excellent. This is what I want/expect when I want nachos. Nacho karma is real...every time I try to take the BEST nacho, all the toppings fall off.

Leah (3) - PRESENTATION: Looks melty, diced tomatoes, nacho cheese, sliced olives and jalapenos. RAD: thin crispy chips, made to order. LAME: Not enough cheese, unmelted shreds, but still good. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 1:1. Pub atmosphere, love it!

Look at all that unmelted cheese!
