Scotty Browns’ newest location in Po‘ipū offers a fresh, exciting take on comfort food, all served with the signature warmth and hospitality that the brand is known for. Opened in May 2025, the newly renovated 3,400 sq. ft. space invites guests into a lively, vibrant atmosphere where bold, fresh flavors take stage. Whether you are a first-time guest or a regular at the restaurant, you will enjoy the elevated, yet approachable dining experience designed to make every guest feel valued and at home.

As the newest addition to the Browns Restaurant Group, a renowned Vancouver-based hospitality brand, Scotty Browns Po‘ipū marks the group’s first venture into Hawai‘i. Breathing life into a once-vacant space, the restaurant pays tribute to owner Scott Morrison’s deep affection for the islands, says Ryan Anderson, the company’s Director of Business Development & Operations in Hawai‘i. “Our owner, Scott Morrison, fell in love with the island of Kaua‘i and its beauty. After spending a lot of time on the island and ultimately moving here, he wanted to share his love for restaurants with the island,” Anderson explains. 

The new location offers a refreshing twist on the established brand, providing guests with a unique and immersive dining experience. “Our team has pulled inspiration for the decor, food, and beverages from the island while creating a space to share a love for hospitality and bringing people together,” Anderson adds.  “Whether it is lighting, music levels, [or] food preparation, we want our guests to have an amazing experience every time they visit us.” 

To complement the exceptional service, the menu offers a globally-inspired selection that delights the palate with bold, vibrant flavors and inventive dishes. Start your meal with shareable options like the Poke and Chips, featuring succulent chunks of tuna marinated in a sesame sriracha (spicy chili pepper and garlic) sauce, topped with creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, toasted macadamia nuts, miso (fermented soy bean) mayo, and fresh cilantro, all served with crunchy corn tortilla chips. Alternatively, indulge in the Kung Pao Chicken Lettuce Wraps, where you can choose between five-spice chicken or crispy tofu (soy bean curb) or the Best Fresh Cut Fries Ever, which are hand-cut, double-cooked, finished with aged Padano cheese, and served with a roasted garlic aioli for dipping. 

 For entrées, the menu ranges from light and refreshing options to hearty, flavor-packed plates. Fresh salads like the Super Crunch, a vibrant mix of market greens, peanuts, mango, avocado, tomatoes, red peppers, crispy wonton pieces, cilantro, and a ginger dressing, offer a crispy and zesty meal. For something from their signature Browns restaurant menus, you can try their crowd favorite #28 Dragon Bowl featuring your choice of teriyaki (soy sugar marinated) chicken or crispy tofu over coconut rice with wok-fired vegetables, red cabbage, crispy onions, and a spicy yogurt sauce. Guests can also savor elevated mains such as the Macadamia Mahi Mahi, paired with coconut jasmine rice, seasonal vegetables, and silky miso butter sauce, or the indulgent 8-oz. Wagyu Sirloin, served with hand-cut fries and a creamy horseradish sauce. From hand-pressed burgers to blackened chicken alfredo or ahi (Yellowfin tuna) sandwiches, the menu strikes the perfect balance between familiar favorites and adventurous flavors, ensuring there is something for everyone. 

When choosing your meal, be sure to leave a little room for dessert and delight in the menu’s sweet treats. From the tangy Key Lime Pie, featuring toasted coconut, graham cracker crumble, and a swirl of vanilla whipped cream, or the Super Fudge Brownie, served with vanilla bean ice cream, roasted macadamia nuts, and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce, the desserts of Scotty Browns Po‘ipū are a perfect finale to your meal.

To elevate your dining experience, the drink menu offers something for every taste. On-tap selections include local favorites such as the crisp Longboard Lager from Kona Brewing Hawai‘i and refreshing Pineapple Mana Wheat from Maui Brewing Company. For those who prefer bottled options, you will find classics like Heineken, Corona, and Michelob Ultra alongside a rotation of alcoholic seltzers and non-alcoholic beer. Wine lovers can explore a thoughtful selection spanning reds, whites, bubbles, and rosé, while cocktail enthusiasts will enjoy the playful lineup of “Beachin’ Cocktails.” From the island-inspired Scotty’s Mai Tai, with Kōloa white and dark rum, to a frosty Frozen Margarita, each drink is crafted to be both delicious and mood-lifting. 

One standout is the Pineapple King, a bold blend of Smith & Cross overproof rum, Kōloa spiced rum, Del Maguey Vida mezcal, falernum, orgeat, and pineapple and orange juice, served in a collectable tiki mug that guests get to take home. And for those seeking the same festive vibe without the alcohol, the bartenders also craft Free Spirits, refreshing zero-proof mocktails that are every bit as delightful as their spirited counterparts. 

With a focus on exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality, Scotty Browns Po‘ipū carries forward the brand’s tradition of excellence in its newest venture. “From the very beginning, our purpose has been simple: provide fresh, quality food that feels both elevated yet inviting,” says Anderson. “Now, with Scotty Browns Hawai‘i, we are excited to bring this fresh take on the already well-loved Scotty Browns brand. This location is a true passion project, blending the best food and drink from all five of Browns Restaurant Group’s concepts while being inspired by the warmth and hospitality of Kaua‘i.”
