Reviews
Very cute vintage diner! Really enjoyed the vibe! Gave my toddler all kinds of cool stuff to look at while we ate and my older daughter loved it too! Fun for all ages! We will definitely go again!
My favourite restaurant on the island. A proper diner, lacking only wheels and a lot, of a sort you just don't find on the mainland anymore. It's excellent, the menu is excellent, the staff are excellent, and the atmosphere is excellent.
I'm using the word excellent a lot. It's excellent. It's just excellent.
Also, they'll do a veggie burger if you ask.
I've been here a few times over the past few years. Family friendly atmosphere. Staff is very friendly, very welcoming, and very attentive. Blended cocktails and mocktails (pina colada and lava flow recommed), diner food with great nostalgic americana names, old style shakes. Check them out if you're in the area.
Really enjoyed their happy hour beer and food. I think their happy hour was 3-6pm and the beer was $4.
The restaurant is old fashioned diner and uniquely designed with its vintage decor and sell them too!
I wish i found this place earlier.
Good beer time after hiking and chicken wing&fries was soo good
Neat little space run by only two people. They were very friendly and the service was good. You order at the counter and they drop off your meal. Lots of deep fried food a few burgers and dogs. The quality of the food suffers because as mentioned it’s a two person show. They don’t have time or resources to do different fare. That said these people were very welcoming and nice. The milkshake was the star onion rings and fries were good.
We had the Big Bopper burger, chocolate milkshake, and cherry coke. Everything was delicious. The menu had a big selection of Americana food like burgers, pizza, hot dogs, and many more options. The inside resembled an old-fashioned soda shop and had really cool memorabilia to look at and buy. The service was quick and friendly. We'll definitely eat there again.
Amazing food with amazing prices to match. Would definitely come here again if I visit the island. The food tasted great and was delivered quickly. The gentleman that helped us was also very friendly. The building also has lots of neat items to look at while you wait for your food. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. Best service and food I had during my stay in Hawaii! :)
Excellent retro vibes and good food. There's also a pinball machine that we tried out and a bunch of collectibles for sale. Had the luau nachos, a chilli cheese dog and their pizza dog, all of which were great.
