MUST TRY: Slush float, basically it is a strawberry slush with a scoop of vanilla icecream. It's so simple, but oh so good especially on a hot day or after the beach.
Josh W. "Wags"January 22, 2013Talk about a locals spot!!! My first choice was so good that 10 mins later I went back for another and the employee knew my name! And the place was packed!! Great Place, Food, Staff and Price!!!- Adam StallmanMay 5, 2017Eat where the locals eat! This is no tourist trap and the food is good and reasonably priced. The best BBQ pork and Loco Moco in Waikiki in my opinion. Also, try the slush floats to cool you down.

sara mae pickleSeptember 4, 2019The mixed plate & the Loco Moco in a bowl was the perfect amount for both me & my hubby. If you’re not sure what to get, try this combo bc you’ll get to try a little of everything they’re known for :)
Bikash MishraMarch 2, 2017A Hawaiian fast food institution. Get the fried chicken with gravy and the chili. The loco moco is solid too, get it with the egg sunny side up. The tater tots and fries left something to be desired.
Eric TaylorJanuary 25, 2015bbq pork sandwich was pretty good. The prices were great. I've only been here twice in 8 years but I might come back to try something more daring next time lol. Good place to go for a quick lunch.
Pelin Güvenç KefelSeptember 9, 2017The bbq beef is really good, also the mixed plate is really good. All the sides they serve are really good as well.
Luisfe ArreazaAugust 28, 2018Ate the Loco Moco with mac&cheese and two sunny side up eggs. The plast two burger patties with rice and gravy. It is very tasty and filling. Portion was big, I was starving so ate it all. Good place
Kevin S OshiroMay 28, 2013Mixed Plate (teri beef, mahi mahi fish and fried chicken with 1 scoop of macaroni salad and 2 scoops of rice.) Along with the Mixed Plate lunch, I had a large Pepsi (or Coke) drink with it.
JH H-DDecember 15, 2021I still dream about the Moco Loco, the gravy is so good you can eat it off a shoe. The Mac salad is spot on, you’ll be in heaven
Susie MarieJuly 21, 2015Still dream about my lunches there! Gotta try the Loco moco and the mac salad is one of the best on the island!
Maríus MūllerNovember 18, 2012Try the Loco Moco at one of the only real authentic and non touristy food places in Waikiki. It's truely delicious and really inexpensive.
Stacy Bo BacyApril 1, 2021Everything’s great. Might be the best loco moco in town. They sell out of their daily specials every day.
- Lynette EugenioOctober 30, 2018Breakfast, lunch or dinner - it's all good. Can't go wrong with the local favorite - a Loco Moco plate. The portions are huge, so I often order it as a bowl.
- Luisfe ArreazaAugust 28, 2018Ate Loco Moco which is two burger patties with rice, and gravy. Added mac and cheese (bland) and two sunny side ups. Good place to eat something local
kayla bMay 17, 2021The gravy is great. The fries with gravy was the best part but their beef is really good too. Chicken is dark meat only.
Chris LeeMay 22, 2015When on Oahu, it's a must to stop and sample rainbow drive-in!! Everything is ono!! Even da tourist like come try.
Carrie BevisJune 27, 2016Authentic Hawaiian roadside grub, with a meat and rice filled menu. Grab the mixed plate and a table outside for a quick and hearty meal.
Corey BaileyOctober 15, 2016Great Loco Moco, combination plate as well (that was enough for 3 hungry people), and a side of chili was great. Awesome local spot.
melissa suttonApril 20, 2014Try the local mixed plate or loco moco! Huge portions with a drink for $10 or less depending on how hungry you are!
- Patrick HughesJanuary 22, 2018The chili and mac salad is super Good! First timer here... good thing I moved close by, cause I'm going to be a regular.
Brandon Scott SotoAugust 31, 2015Royal Burger with a side of fries or Moco Loco are the BEST on the island. I gotta go al least 2 times when ever I'm in Waikiki.
Alice FerrisJune 22, 2015Try the Pork Cutlet with gravy - Time for plate lunch! Three big tonkatsu with brown gravy, obviously, with two scoops of rice and mac salad. (via @Foodspotting)
Megan AnneSeptember 26, 2017get the bbq or fried chicken!!! great value for those on a budget! 2 scoops of rice, meat, and mac salad ❤️
Bethany BMay 17, 2018The Mixed Plate w/ fries and potato salad was amazing! But the service and line system were terrible. Would go back for the food, but I recommend phone order take out...
Kevin TakFebruary 15, 2019Very reasonable price for all foods.Loco moco has double eggs and hamburger putty with macaroni salads. Gravy is good, too.
Erock808October 11, 2016Try the Loco Moco With Extra Red Devil Hot Sauce All Over - Old school Waikiki kau kau spot!!! You know how we do!!! (via @Foodspotting)
Quinton MaDecember 24, 2014Great way to get a head start on your diabetes and heart issues. Loco moco was good but I prefer going up the street for Ono Seafood
petegMay 20, 2013The food comes out way faster than you would expect so don't go far after placing your order. Loco moco, mix plate, mahi mahi plate, slush, and BBQ pork plate were all on hit.
Travis HanakahiFebruary 5, 2016If youre hungry at breakfast, get a Loco Moco, Fried Rice, with Chili, all over.......... Its an absolute winner.......
mahi mahi and Shoyu chicken mix plate! If you want a mixed plate, ask!
Agatha ViernesJune 14, 2011Order the mixed plate with gravy all over. Then for dessert get an apple pie and slush float. The pie is hot though! It's a one meal kind of day when you take this down!
katrina panovichJanuary 28, 2019BBQ pork sandwich was amazing, I’ve had better loco moco but this felt very classic.
hawaii stockNovember 25, 2011Favorite post-surf grind spot for all my friends. You gotta try their Loco Mocos.
Andrew HealanSeptember 21, 2015little bit of everything and reasonably enough priced that you can try several items
Jason FeirmanJune 13, 2014loco moco - hamburger patty hiding under eggs // mixed plate with bbq steak and chicken
Darin HagreAugust 8, 2014Yeah, wear something comfortable if you're gonna eat here... you'll want to take a nap afterwards!
Nadine MansourMay 5, 2015Order the breakfast special but make sure to get fried rice (instead of regular).
