Laverne's Lunch Wagon & Catering

Stumbled upon the food trucks when we were in the area. Decided to try this one out, which turned out to be good. The special was a steak dish and also had the pork/chicken combo. Everything was pretty good, however the menu song doesn’t let you know everything you are getting. I didn’t know the chicken was with noodles, the special didn’t specify the sides, etc. In any event, enjoyed it all (even though the Mac salad is like 45% mayo) Would definitely get the kalua pork and absolutely would get the steak special again. It was my favourite.

Delicious traditional Hawaiian food, we had the chopped steak with toss salad and rice and it was mouthwatering. Ordering was a bit challenging to understand but the man was super helpful.

Been there once and I would never be back again. If you're a customer service kind of person like I am, how you are treated and talked to definitely determine's if I'll be back. The way this lady carries herself, with a chip on her shoulder and don't know how to talk to her paying customers. Her "people skills" before I even got the food, put a bad taste in my mouth! I would not be spending my money there and would not recommend to anyone!

Beef stew was good. This time meat wasn’t as tender as it usually is and was mostly fat vs. meat. Squid luau was good. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend trying the squid luau.

Laverne’s is one of a handful of my top favorite Lunch Wagons and definitely my top spot for a smoked meat plate. I always get this if we decide to take out from here. Meaty smoky goodness with onions really hits the spot for satisfying that smoke flavor taste cravings! Delicious!!! I like mine with all white rice, but normally it comes with two scoops of white rice and mac/tossed salad. I was told the pork adobo was here good too. So If your in Waikele come check them out and support our local businesses!! Update: My Smoked Meat Plate with all white rice is still delicious as ever and the husband tried the Beef Stew and really enjoyed it as well. Thick and hearty flavorful sauce with plenty of chunky veggies and stew meat. 10/30/2022 My mom enjoyed the Kalua Pig Cabbage Plate. She said
