Zippy's Ewa

End of April 2024... During my most recent visit for mine and my husband's 22nd yr. inlove/ our 17 yr. wedding anniversary. I was excited to bring him to a place I used to come to when I was a keiki (child) where the original location was apparently still currently located and operating on King Street. Zippy's Ewa was the closest one to my aunty's house, where I chose to stay for the week during our celebrations. The first thing noticed was the lack of true aloha, that welcoming and inviting spirit we kanaka pride ourselves with. That was number 1, number 2 it was difficult to get the attention of anyone to take our order, 3, the portion of food compared to the price point was questionable (at least to me and him) and disappointing. All in all, we did not have the best experience, especial

We ordered online for zippys last night we put our order in just before 7pm and it said our order was going to be ready at 7:08 we got to the drive through line a little after 7:08 but we didn't reach the window until 7:30 because everyone before us was at the window for about 5 minutes each when we got to the window I gave the lady my name she went to go get it but she came back to the window and said you have to wait 5min she want back to the counter then a boy came to the window and told us it was going to be a 10-15 min wait because the kitchen was backed up we parked and went in everyone that was waiting for their order looked pissed and they were asking each other how long they been waiting then a gentlemen came to the counter and asked the girl where was his order and that he was wa

This is the first stop I always make when I come home to Hawaii. Love the food and always have. Of you are looking for a good place to eat this is it. Would recommend this place and will continue to come back. Will make it a point to go again before I leave.

It's Zippy's. It's local comfort food, in a clean, friendly, busy, affordable neighborhood location. The seating system was new to me and required me to scan a QR code then enter my name and the number of people in our group to get on the waitlist. Although we were initially 10th in line and several groups ahead of us were quite large things moved along quickly. The display at the entrance to the dining area kept us updated on the expected wait time, as well as our place on the waitlist. We were called no more than 10 minutes after arriving in spite of the very busy weekend lunch rush time. I don't know if that seating system is used for dining in at all Zippy's locations since this was the first time I've seen it and it's been a minute since I've actually eaten in at a Zippy's. It's much

Place was clean, food is kinda meh, service was meh. Edit: Just to clarify... trying to emulate home cooked recipes in a fast food environment is HARD. Most fast food workers don't care nearly as much as mamas and aunties. Zippy's does about as good as you can at replicating home cooked in an environment where the workers don't always give a crap. Service is almost always your typical fast food "I don't wanna be here" kinda service. The food is always pretty good. When you get a location where mgmt gives a crap (it shows at all levels) the food and service are GREAT. This location, when I visited, was absolutely "meh" energy/vibes and "meh" food quality. I don't feel ripped off or anything. You kinda expect "meh" when you enter fast food places.
