★★★★★ 5.0 Eric Charlton · Jan 2026

This place does not hold back when it comes to portions, especially with the Italian beef sandwich, which was loaded with tender, flavorful meat. The crispy chicken wings were another highlight and paired perfectly with their house-made pickles, adding a nice, tangy contrast. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The friendly vibe and generous servings really set this spot apart. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for hearty food served in a comfortable, inviting setting.

Came here after the luau since most places don't serve food after a certain time. I got the chicken sandwich and my husband got the Chicago hot dog and they were both so good. Shawn was awesome, he made good drinks and he showed us some certain places to go around town. Also they have some free arcade games that you can play.

What to say... I stopped in for lunch with a friend. They(the bar) had a recent death of one of their cooks. So the typically jovial atmosphere was a little mournful. If you are local and care about local places and people, please, please stop by and have a toast for their newly departed. We are all in this world alone but the comfort of good people in our time of sadness goes a long way to our own path back to normal. Now about the place, the food was great! Gyros were just like one on a Greek island. I would recommend the cheese curds or the loaded tater tots. The drinks are drinks, I don't need to tell you about how a beer tastes. The atmosphere is very mid west. If you've never been to a local Chicago bar this is the closest that you can get to outside of Chicago. Next time you'r

This place has food that is deceptionally good. Beer and Hards are at a great price point. if your in downtown honolulu looking for a spott to cool off with a beer and have some ono food.

A co-worker and I were looking for a place to have lunch and stopped in at The Nighthawk, just a block from our office, on King Street. We’ve passed by for years, but the place always seemed empty, so we never tried it as our rule has been to bypass places that aren’t crowded. As it turns out, it’ been our loss. We started with a Ko’olau gin & tonic ($7) and a Jameson on the rocks ($7) as we perused the menu (on a blackboard at the back of the restaurant). Yes, this was a Mad Men’s lunch. My friend ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich ($17.99); I tried the Kung Fu Ham (deep-fried pork belly) with fries ($16.99), and we split an order of Loaded Tots ($9.99) after hearing how good they were from a fellow foodie. Uh, the tater tots were okay but not “to die for” good. However, my deep-fried po
