This is hands down my favorite local place to eat in Oahu. I primarily come for the breakfast, but had lunch once as well. The servers are always friendly and wonderful. The coffee is delicious (favorite diner coffee I've had on the island so far). But most importantly, the portions are large and delicious. I go 1-2 a week for their breakfasts and dare I say....its the highlight of my week (other than getting a fresh hairct) to have a big meal and chug some coffee. It's impossible to recommend an item because I've loved everything I've had. You can't go wrong with anything here. Haven't used it yet, but there is a full bar and TVs for sports on weekends as well. Do the right thing and tip your servers. I look forward to eating here every weekend.

Haven't been there in a while, but the food was good. The meat loaf was flavorful. I would order it again. They have a senior menu selection. The chicken marsala was good and had a generous portion. The improvement I would recommend is to carry rootbeer as on of your drink selections.

Special treat for me to eat in for breakfast. Even though it was busy on a Sunday morning, I was seated right away and no pressure to eat fast to turn over the booth. Coffee was refilled regularly and the wait staff were attentive to each customer's needs. Even the keiki!

Definitely a different type of diner I’m used to. But this place was delicious. Loved the Kimchee fried Rice, it also wasn’t too spicy so you’re able to enjoy eating it. My kids loved there Breakfast we ended up ordered a side of sausages togo. My mom is basic so she had the side of eggs and hash brown for breakfast. I would come here again.
