There are two Haleiwa Joe's still open on Oahu: one in Haleiwa and another in Kaneohe.

This location in Rancho Mirage opened in June 2003, in what used to be a Chart House restaurant, in a very unique building.

The building (built in 1978) made clever use of a difficult site and was a spectacular example of “organic modernism.” Designed by architect Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, the low, scalloped and laminated roof combined with incredibly deep eaves and gave the building the appearance of a giant sea creature washed up on some ancient shore. The building won numerous awards and was designated a historic landmark by the city of Rancho Mirage.

After 2009 it became Ocean's 111 and later GG's Island.

In January 2012 a fire broke out and the building was gutted. It was demolished in 2013.
