The food was pretty good, there’s a standard diner atmosphere and the service was really good. I should’ve ordered the small rack and something different, many dishes I still want to try. The Kalbi was really Ono. Huge parking lot and plenty of tables.

Really good food! I had a grilled tequila, chicken with Portabella, mushrooms and gravy sauce with vegetables, my friend had fish and chips. Yep we’ll be back! The prices are pretty reasonable also especially for the amount of food you get!

One of the longest, best standing restaurants on island that have been around for YEARS! and every time still yet when we go, they never fail to deliver the best dishes and the best customer service that they can provide along with some of the oldest recipes that have been around for a long time that most locals enjoy to this day. If you’re a tourist looking for one of the best local restaurants, this is one stop you don’t wanna miss.

Stopped by for lunch on the 4th of July. I ordered the very-teri hamburger steak meal with an egg on top. It was so great and hit the spot! We also had the chili cheese fries for an appetizer and that was delicious too. The portion was very large and I have enough leftovers for another meal.

The food was excellent and service was on point. The food is on the higher end of the 10-20 dollars a plate option, though I believe it was week worth it for the fish and chips. Portions are excellent and if you love garlic I highly recommend the garlic fries.

The service is awesome and they are quick and attentive! I saw really big portions but the prices are large too. Got the omelette special – ended up being over $17 for an omelette with only 3 toppings/ingredients (cheese, sausage and spinach) and one side of fries. It wasn’t huge, I felt like Denny’s down the street gives a bigger omelette with more toppings and more sides for less. I try to support local places at least once.

Enjoyed breakfast here in February 2023. Delicious! Delightful decor and atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and took care of our table in an efficient way, although it was a very busy Saturday. I really liked the fried rice loco Moco.

If you are looking for a local dinner that is away from the tourist area, this is it. Basic dinner fare is on the menu. There is something for everyone. I recommend the bread pudding for dessert. Delicious!
