We ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and the Loco Moco, and both were incredibly satisfying and flavorful. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and exactly the kind of local food experience we were hoping for. If you're heading to the North Shore, definitely make time to stop here. You won't regret it.

Back again! First I want to say, the food is delicious! We had the loco moco again. We also had a…read morefried ahi katsu fish burger with taro bun and chili aioli. That was was spectacular. It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

BETTER THAN GIOVANNIS!‍ Everything tasted hot and fresh,…read moredefinitely will be my new spot for sure. Came 15 minutes before they closed and they had my order ready in about 5 minutes everything tasted fresh and hot not all greasy too, all the plates come with shrimp+rice+salad and a slice pineapple. I told them I didn't want a slice pineapple and to substitute it with rice and man they didn't disappoint with the extra scoop rice and hot garlic on top of the rice man it tasted good I will be back guarantee Yessah

Stopped by Jenny's Shrimp Truck while exploring the North Shore and tried both the Garlic Shrimp…read moreand Spicy Garlic Shrimp plates. After having Giovanni's before, I honestly enjoyed Jenny's more. The shrimp were plump, fresh, and cooked just right. The Garlic Shrimp had a rich buttery garlic flavor that wasn't overly greasy, while the Spicy Garlic Shrimp added a nice kick without overpowering the taste of the shrimp. Both plates came with plenty of sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions were generous and filling, making it a great stop for lunch. The seating area is pretty basic and can get crowded during busy times. That said, the shrimp were delicious, and I'd choose Jenny's over Giovanni's if I'm craving garlic shrimp on the North Shore again.

Same great garlic sauce on the shrimp but shrimp were smaller and not as succulent. Still good but…read morenot as good as before Still sweet garlicky buttery flavor. They give the same amount of rice. This time around, went on a Sunday in July; took over 45 min from ordering to getting the food. Difficult to get a seat. There's a sign that they didn't have the spice version available because they were short staff. However, they gave chili sauce. Finding a parking spot in the shared lot was quick; they still charge $2 to park.

Giovanni's is legendary, right? We tried it along with another truck--so here's the breakdown:…read more Food (4 stars) + The #1 Shrimp Scampi ($17.50) was delicious--juicy shrimp, tons of garlic, and a buttery sauce. Classic for a reason! The buttery sauce oozes at the bottom of the rice. I'm not complaining. Just stating. ~ Portion was solid, but after trying the other truck nearby (check my other review), it kept this at 4 stars instead of higher. Service/Ambiance (3.5 stars) ~ Long line but moves fast. The tricky part? Food pickup line is chaotic, and you have to listen carefully for your number. ~ Seating is all outdoors--no umbrellas on this side, so light rain caught us. Luckily, we snagged a spot nearby with covering. I'll be back, but next time, I'll be comparing it again. It's great to have both. Check out my review on the next shrimp truck for the full story!

We sat outside and I noticed a lot of flies and chickens which was kind of annoying! Luckily they have indoor seating! I ordered the plate lunch and it arrived while I was at my car grabbing a sweater to eat inside. My dad said the rooster literally jumped on my plate and grabbed a bite before being shooed away by the restaurant worker. She took the plate away and proceeded to make me a new plate (which was absolutely YUMM). And of course we ate inside! It's a bit chilly in there for someone who runs cold like me so I was glad to have my cardigan!

We find parking in the lot nearby as it is quite large so that was smooth. Go around the corner and find Kono's...no line and there are tables/seats available outside (be prepared to dine with chickens) and even inside. We order the Haleiwa, Waimea, and Local Bomber burritos and this is where things turn. We wait...and wait...and wait..approximately 1 hour for our food! Wow. I get folks are on island time but this is crazy. That said the burritos are quite tasty... so can't complain about that. If you are in a hurry (and yes we wanted to get to the beach early to score parking) then you may want to look at alternatives.

The chicken itself is already marinated plentiful, but if you want a little extra something, I'd recommend getting the sauce; it also goes well with the rice. Chicken was tender and had so much meat.

Waited in line for a little bit and maybe about 30 minutes our chicken was done. Ordered just a whole chicken to try and this was my first time having it. The seasoning is light and the chicken is juicy. I would say this actually tasted pretty alright. But I think I like mine slightly saltier or seasoned more. But overall if you ever see this off the road you should stop by and try it out.

There's something about island-made food that carries a little extra heart -- and Haleʻiwa Burgers…read morehas it in every bite. No fancy frills, no over-the-top hype. Just good food, made with real hands and real care. I ordered the Mushroom Burger, and it honestly changed the game for me. The patty was juicy and seasoned just right, layered with sautéed mushrooms that added this deep, earthy flavor -- like comfort cooked slow. The melted cheese pulled everything together in perfect balance, and the toasted bun held its own without ever getting in the way. Every bite was messy in the best way -- the kind you have to close your eyes for and just feel. The vibe here? Pure aloha. You walk in and feel like you've been here before -- like this is where everyone goes when they just need a good meal and a moment to breathe. The staff are chill, friendly, and full of that easy local kindness that can't be faked. It's the kind of place where time slows down -- where you sit outside, taste the salt in the air, and let the flavors remind you how good life can be in its simplest form. Final Thoughts: Haleʻiwa Burgers isn't just about burgers -- it's about the feeling after the last bite. That quiet, content, "yeah, this is it" kind of happiness.
