Customer Reviews
I ordered the Grilled Ono Sandwich and opted for coleslaw as the side. Everything about the sandwich was good except that it wasn't served with any kind of tartar sauce, mayo or lemon. So although it was flavorful, it was dry. The slaw was plentiful and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Too bad about the sandwich, it would have rated 5 stars if it had come with some kind of sauce.
We accidentally found this place when we were drinking beer next door at Waikulu brewing. Although it is very small place, the food is EXCELLENT!! They had a great selection of various plates. Enjoy small businesses.
So simple and so satisfying. These guys know ball. My friend and I got Korean Chicken and Furukake Ono, we split and both were amazing, perfect portions and good prices, drink prices and also unbeatable. Easily one of the best places to get lunch on the island.
Remember: cash only. Great and simple lunch spot. Nice service, clean space, and plate/sauce containers are truly all fiber (100% compostable!) As long as you bring your utensils, you're pretty waste free!! Low waste food establishments, I love! They also most likely have the best burger on the island. Definitely the top patties we've had; juicy, meaty, large, and local. Comes with toppings, sauces on the side (must request), and fries. We started with the simple cheeseburger, but I definitely plan to return for their specialties soon.
I’ve been a customer for years and just really felt disappointed my last visit. You now have to pay for fries for your burger (onion rings or slaw included). Our fries were so over cooked it was a greasy crunchy shell, my kids spit it out. Small portion. Onion rings were sparse and mostly skin pieces. I will still try again but not sure why fries cost money now and not onion rings. And to charge for inedible fries is a major disappointment. Burgers were still on point, which is why I will come again.
