Which bar & grill is better at OGG?

I have a two hour layover on a Sunday morning at OGG on my Hawaiian flight home. Which is better for a beer and a light meal, Stinger Ray’s or Sammys? I know either one will probably just be marginal food, but it’s pretty hard to screw up a beer.

Both Stinger Ray’s and Sammy’s are convenient options at OGG if you’re looking for a quick beer and a light meal during your layover. While the food might not be anything to write home about, both places offer a laid-back atmosphere where you can relax before your next flight. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide:

  • Stinger Ray’s: Known for its casual vibe and seafood options, Stinger Ray’s is a solid choice if you’re in the mood for something like fish tacos or a poke bowl. The menu isn’t extensive, but it’s reliable for a quick snack and a cold beer. The ambiance is a bit more relaxed, and the airport location makes it convenient if you’re near the gates. The service is generally friendly, and it’s a good spot for a quick meal.
  • Sammy’s: Sammy’s is also a good option, offering a variety of comfort foods like burgers, fries, and breakfast items. If you’re looking for something heartier, Sammy’s might be the better choice, especially if you’re craving a classic breakfast or lunch item. The atmosphere here is a bit more lively and sports bar-like, with TVs and a slightly more upbeat vibe compared to Stinger Ray’s.

Both places serve cold beer, so you’re right—it’s pretty hard to go wrong with that. If you’re looking for something quick and more casual with a local flair, Stinger Ray’s is a great choice. On the other hand, if you’re in the mood for something more substantial or prefer a livelier sports bar atmosphere, Sammy’s could be the way to go.

In the end, it really depends on your mood. Either way, both are decent options for a brief stop at OGG, and you’ll be able to enjoy your time before you head off to your next destination. Enjoy your trip home!
