Just a road and a ranch where cattle grazed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was in October 1973, when the restaurant opened its doors on Waipouli Beach as part of Mokihana Resort. Modeled after a California steak-house, locals came to expect terrific ocean views and large portions of steak and seafood.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13751 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/mwkauai\/entertainment\/classic-steakhouse-kapaa\/attachment\/kmw-tasteskauai-012214-bullshed-1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/mwkauai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2014\/01\/KMW-TastesKauai-012214-BullShed-1.jpg?w=150&amp;h=150&amp;crop=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13752\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13752'>\n\t\t\t\tSweet Waipouli Scallops (front) and Artichoke Dip with bread\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/mwkauai\/entertainment\/classic-steakhouse-kapaa\/attachment\/kmw-tasteskauai-012214-bullshed-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/mwkauai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2014\/01\/KMW-TastesKauai-012214-BullShed-2.jpg?w=150&amp;h=150&amp;crop=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13753\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13753'>\n\t\t\t\tPam Nuivo-Pantil, manager and bartender at Bull Shed.

The bar was topped with granite and raised 4 inches. New lights, fans, carpet, tables and chairs were installed, and the walls got a fresh coat of paint. The salad bar was expanded and pupus were added to the menu.<\/p>\n<p>A 1970s Hawaiian steak-house theme still reigns supreme at Bull Shed. The original menus &#8211; blocks of wood on which food and prices were hand-burned &#8211; are framed and hang on the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis sings <I>Blue Hawaii <\/I>as I sit in a padded chair at the sunken, granite-topped bar. Comfort, service and a touch of opulence make me feel like I&#8217;m in one of the King&#8217;s private dining rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Even the pupus are reminiscent of the &#8217;70s steak-house era. Creamy, hot Artichoke Dip ($9) comes with thick slices of warm bread. Sweet Waipouli Scallops ($13) are served with sliced mushrooms in a white wine sauce and topped with melted Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Tables with wide, padded chairs are tucked alongside functioning windows that overlook the ocean. In some areas, the tables seem nestled against the water&#8217;s edge. With the windows open, a breeze fills the room and carries the sound of waves slapping against the shore.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, <I>Kauai Midweek<\/I> readers gave Bull Shed first place as Kauai&#8217;s Best Restaurant. From 2010 to 2013, readers of <I>The<\/I><I>Garden Island <\/I>gave the restaurant a first place award for best steak.<\/p>\n<p>Big and meaty slabs of prime rib are wet-aged for 30 days, crusted with salt and seasonings, and slow-cooked for eight hours. There&#8217;s the original 2-pound, bone-in cut and a new, 12-ounce cut ($29).<\/p>\n<p>The steak, from Black Angus cows on a Colorado Ranch, is wet-aged for 45 days.<\/p>\n<p>A 9-ounce tenderloin ($34) is cooked to a perfect medium and topped with a thick house-made garlic sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Nine ounces of filet mignon ($34), cooked exactly to medium-rare, is served with a house-made herb and black peppercorn sauce. Both steaks are tender and juicy.<\/p>\n<p>Seafood lovers can order Grilled Tiger Shrimp ($21), Lobster Tail ($35), fresh, local seared ahi ($28) with wasabi aioli or Mixed Grill ($32) with seasonal catch of the day, shrimp, scallops and house-made pineapple salsa.<\/p>\n<p>On Mondays and Wednesdays, you can add 8 ounces of crab ($16) to any meal, or enjoy a 16-ounce crab dinner for $35.<\/p>\n<p>Ample portions satisfy a hearty eater&#8217;s appetite and prices are competitive with steakhouses nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>All meals come with rice and an all-you-can-eat salad bar.<\/p>\n<p>The Bull Shed has changed for the better,&#8221; explains Pam Nuivo-Pantil, who&#8217;s worked at the restaurant since 1978. &#8220;Our meals are still great, we still give good value for the price and the atmosphere looks really nice. To our long time locals who haven&#8217;t been back yet, I think you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><I>Bull Shed Restaurant<br \/>\n4-796 Kuhio Hwy., Kapaa<\/I><br \/>\n<I>822-3791<br \/>\nOpen daily, 4:30-9:30 p.m.<\/I><\/p>\n<p><I>Marta Lane is a Kauai-based food writer.
