We ate here our first night on the island, so we kind of just picked a place, and we were glad we did. My son got the Loco Moco with the wagyu burger (I believe it was the classic)? I got the Kalua pig Loco Moco and we both LOVED it. My wife and daughter both got sandwiches and said they were great as well.

Stopped by for brunch with my wife on vacation. The waitress was friendly and seating was available. I had the Kalua Pig Benedict and my wife had the coconut French Toast. The food was hot and fresh and came out quick. I noticed alot of folks ordered the triple play as it consists of Moco Loco, Hawaiian Pancakes, and Avocado Toast. The prices are higher as we are in a resort on vacation. We had a good experience while here and the staff was friendly. Yes there are pigeons everywhere and they are simply looking for food almost a free show while you eat. I would recommend trying this place while on vacation.

One of our stops during the 2025 Oahu trip. We were here last night, but wanted to take in a little more from the shops at the Hilton. We ordered the Homemade Corned beef & Pastrami hash Benedict, the Kalua pig sliders and the Kalua pig Loco Moco. The dishes were flavorful and big. The attendant was timely and attentive. The open air dining area was comfortable and interesting.

We were expecting an average deli but were pleasantly surprised with great tasting food friendly FAST service and good chats with the bartender! I had the Sadie Loves It vegetarian sandwich, it was soooo good! Eggplant with feta, cucumber, tomato, spinach, red pepper, and special mayo was a great combination, didn't even miss the meat I had with a side of sweet potato fries- they gave me a mountain!! I had a bite of my daughter's hamburger with cheese, it was delicious like something you would find at an upscale burger place! Order of kids buttermilk dollar pancakes was tasty and satisfied the kiddo. The place was busy but turned around tables quickly. Also surprising was how quickly they were able to serve us on such a busy Sunday night- 5 stars just for that. The entire staff was friendly. Overall, we loved it. Family friendly and good selection of food! Thanks for the attention and the good eats

We arrived for brunch about 11am on a Tuesday & we seated straight away. The greeter offered to move our table back so my wife would not be in the full sun. The server was friendly, fun and patient. I ordered the Sky High turkey & slaw sandwich and my wife had the blueberry pancakes. Both arrived after only a few minutes - fresh, delicious and perfectly seasoned. I love this place - the service, atmosphere and especially the food. We will be back again!

This became our go to place for breakfast/lunch during our vacation, it was conveniently located in the Hilton Village properties. Great selection of both local and traditional favorites. We sat both outside and in. A lot of birds around but they never bothered us. (I did see one steal a fry from a guest but it was funny) staff very friendly, open bar and take out available.

The coconut French toast is definitely worth the visit. I'm a big fan of coconut things and this hit the spot. My dad was happy with his Western Burger and I also enjoyed the Kalua Pig Club, the club was not spectacular but it was good enough. This place offers what a typical American dining place with burgers sells. It was clean and we visited before the dinner rush so that probably helped. Definitely pay the extra 3 for the Sweet Potato fries, they were crunchy and very tasty.
