South Pacific Cafe & Lounge, Battle Ground

At South Pacific Cafe & Loung, Polynesian cuisine meets classic pub fare. The bartenders at the eatery's Tiki hut bar pour from island-influenced beers and craft cocktails, like the Jamaican Sunset, a mix of spiced rum, dark rum, OJ and pineapple juice, from a selection of rums from all over the world. Meanwhile, TVs play the latest sports games instead of live footage of an empty beach cabana, making it a fun place to eat, drink, and play.

The restaurant's fusion cuisine features classics like chicken wings that receive a touch of tropical flavor with sauces like apricot BBQ and ginger chili. Even the pizza gets an island twist--the Spicy Hawaiian pizza comes crowned in Canadian bacon, pineapple, and banana peppers. An array of more traditional steakhouse favorites, like New York strip steak and grilled salmon, as well as burgers, salads, pasta, sandwiches, and gluten-free and vegan options round out the menu. And for snack-sized plates, an all-day happy hour menu features smaller portions of bacon-wrapped prawns and cajun-style tots with a side of spicy fondue.
