Craving Hawaiian?: Kimo's Hawaiian Bar and Grill

Downtown Clarksville is full of unique eateries that provide delicious food to the community. Recently, I've decided I want to check out more of these little restaurants in the heart of the city so my boyfriend and I dipped into the Hawaiian grill, Kimo's, for lunch on Wednesday. The servers were incredibly friendly from the start. The restaurant itself was calm and trendy with a beachy theme to go along with the food, but it has the charm that's a staple to many downtown buildings with the exposed brick walls. In a comfortable booth, the real challenge started-- deciding on a meal.

Kimo's offers a good selection on their menu. To start off, patrons have options of appetizers like Longboard Nachos with Kahlua pork and beer cheese or even an Ahi tuna poke bowl. If you ask me, these options could also serve well as main course type meals and next time I stop in I might have to try the poke bowl! While Kimo's has some burger, sandwich, and salad options, the house dishes tended to be where my attention was. With meals available such as Kalua Pork & Cabbage, Mahi Mahi, and Loco Moco Beef & Eggs, you can try out dishes that I personally haven't seen elsewhere. I decided to try the Dakine Chicken & Beef. It was love at first bite. Marinated in the signature Kimo's barbeque sauce, the meat was absolutely delicious and it was a perfect summer lunch paired with rice. 

If you're wondering about the burgers, I have answers to that, too. My boyfriend decided to try out the Kimo's Local Burger, and it was happily devoured. This burger with teriyaki sauce and grilled pineapple was "the best burger I've had in a long time," according to the happy patron of Kimo's. Long story short: this place is an absolute must.
