Thanksgiving Buffets in Waikīkī

Waikīkī is where most of the 2026 menus are up. Five places post a dinner with a price, and things to do in Waikiki covers what to do before you sit down.

Hilton Hawaiian VillageRainbow Lanai buffet and Bali Oceanfront

The resort puts two dinners on one Thanksgiving page. The Rainbow Lanai buffet is $95 for adults and $45 for children 5 to 12, and children 4 and under eat free. The carving station has roasted turkey and lilikoʻi-glazed ham, and the hot line adds braised Angus short rib, a herb-crusted island catch and herb stuffing. Sweets include a pumpkin tart and a Hawaiian Mont Blanc. Bali Oceanfront serves a Thanksgiving menu on Thursday only, priced by course: slow-roasted turkey with Hawaiian sweet bread stuffing and cranberry-lilikoʻi relish at $55 ($30 for the keiki plate), an ahi appetizer at $23 and a pumpkin and apple dessert at $19. The regular menu is also available. Both restaurants take reservations through the buttons on the page. Our Hilton Hawaiian Village review covers staying here.

The carving station has herb-roasted turkey and rosemary and Hawaiian salt-crusted prime rib, and the seafood station has oysters, snow crab legs and nigiri.
