Welcome to ‘The Klub’

t may not be Joe’s on the Green anymore, but the Klub at Kiahuna still offers the same great menu, friendly service and is home to one of the most

beautiful sunsets on the island. The Klub at Kiahuna opened its doors on July 1 after former owner of Joe’s on the Green, Joe Batteiger,

retired in June. His manager, Brooke Jacobsmeyer, decided to continue where Joe left off and added a bit of flare to the already successful

New owner has big plans for former Joe’s on the Green at Kiahuna Golf Club

Kiahuna clubhouse. “We kept the same staff, kept all of Joe’s favorites on the menu, added specialty burgers and now we’re only serving local beef as well as local produce,” said Jacobsmeyer, owner of the Klub at Kiahuna. The Klub offers locally-sourced beef from Makaweli Meat Company on the Westside and farmto-table greens from Kailani Farms on the North Shore. “Originally, I’m from a really small town so It’s important for me to keep everything on island as much as possible,” she said. “The quality is a million times better than what I can get off-island. There’s just something about the freshness of the produce and the tenderness of the meat.” That farm-to-table quality is on full display on

Always a local favorite, the Loco Moco is made with a half pound of Makaweli beef, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, onions, brown gravy and two eggs. Both are $13.95. If you’re in the mood for lunch and in the mood for a burger, The Big Ronald, $18, just might be enough (and more) for your hunger. The half pound Makaweli beef burger is grilled and topped with onion rings, mushrooms, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado and served with chipotle aioli, barbecue and teriyaki sauces.
