Have you ever been to a Hawaiian or tropical-themed restaurant that also served Hawaiian inspired food? There aren’t many in Kansas, but we’ve found one that’s both delicious and beautiful. Say aloha to this small Hawaiian themed restaurant serving big flavors. Whether you like dinner or dessert, you’ll be satisfied.
Welcome to Sharon’s Place, a small restaurant hiding out in Derby that’s serving up Hawaiian-inspired meals and decor.

The main draw of this beautiful restaurant is their homemade Hawaiian inspired food, which you really can’t find many places in our state.

At Sharon’s, you can dine in house or take home meals like Kahlua pork, surf & turf, plenty of teriyaki, and combos that bring the best entrees together.

Of course, it wouldn’t be true Hawaiian inspired food without some spam, which serves as a surprisingly tasty addition to any combo or meal.

If you’re feeling adventurous, the spam musubi is also worth trying.

Like any restaurant, we always make sure there’s room for dessert. This time we recommend their homemade Haupia, with or without chocolate sauce and coconut. Traditionally it is plain, but dressing it up is never a problem.

Another great way to feel like you’re somewhere else is through books. We think this amazing restaurant with a mini library inside is perfect for blending both food and travel, even if only through the written word.
