Delicious and exactly what we were looking for on our first visit to the big island. Loco Moco is served with a house-made gravy with char-grilled burger patties. If you’re a first timer trying this Hawaiian classic, you’re in safe hands coming here. To be honest though the peak of the meal was the macaroni-potato salad. Definitely the best Hawaiian mac salad we’ve had and so simple. The Portuguese sausage was delicious (still go with the hamburger patty for the Loco Moco though. It just works better). Would come again!
Came in on a Saturday morning for brunch and was lucky to be seated right away, a line started forming shortly after I sat down. I tried the Macadamia Nut Pancake Combo with a side of rice and coffee. The Mac nut pancakes weren't anything special; the nuts were mostly just for texture and didn't have much flavor. I did like how huge the 2 pancakes were. The rest of the breakfast was standard but solid. The coffee was okay, a little thin/watery. Overall, the service was quick and friendly. I’d definitely come back to try the Chantilly Waffle next time!
I heard positive things about this restaurant a while ago and finally got the chance to go! I ordered the B.I.G. Fish Salad (broiled fresh fish, romaine, purple sweet potatoes, creamy sesame dressing, etc.) and B.I.G. Ice Cream Pie (coconut haupia ice cream, graham cracker crust, chocolate sauce, diced macnuts, whipped cream). The ice cream pie might have been the single best dessert item I've ever had.
