Puka Dog

RestaurantPoipu, ~22 min from LihueCasualLocal FavTakeout

A Poipu institution serving the iconic Puka Dog — a Hawaiian-style sausage pressed into a bread roll with secret garlic lemon sauce and fresh tropical fruit relishes. The unique flavors of mango, papaya, coconut, and starfruit paired with the garlicky hot dog bun have made this a beloved quick-eat spot for over 20 years.

Tip: The garlic lemon sauce is the key — ask for extra. The tropical fruit relishes change seasonally. Perfect for a quick lunch before hitting Poipu Beach.
