My French Toast Slam, with Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and link sausage.
Richard D.

Breakfast on a Saturday morning. Wait time for seating less than 10 minutes. Like most restaurants today, it's under staffed and so wait times are a little longer, but not excessively so. Our server (Natasha) was serving lots of tables and cashiering, but her service was still excellent. Dennys was refurbished a year or so ago and the interior is very modern, minimalist, and super clean, complete with a Kapolei neon sign, how cool is that. What makes Dennys special is the ability to build your own breakfast, cuz the bfast menu is extensive. I got the French Toast Slam ($17.99) that comes with three slices of Hawaiian Sweet Bread French Toast, two scrambled eggs, two link sausage and two bacon. It was very good. Wife got the Cinnamon Pancakes ($16.39) with Eggs Over Easy, bacon and seasonal fruit ($1.39). All was ver satisfying. Highly recommend Dennys for their breakfast.

Awesome Fluffy Pancakes

Went here yesterday to take advantage of a birthday deal. Initially it started a little off as they had a sign on the door that said they only had scrambled eggs; limited menu. But I saw that there were still a lot of people inside. I asked several people who just ate there what's happening and they mentioned that they only had one cook and that they ran out of fresh eggs, but only had powdered eggs (similar to the eggs that are served at small hotel breakfast buffets), which I didn't mind so we went in anyway. All in all, we still had a great breakfast. Service was great. The staff were very attentive and very upbeat. The food was still good. We both ordered their Everyday Value Slam (mine was birthday free) which included a choice of pancakes or French toast, a choice of meat, & scrambled eggs. Also got a side of crispy hash browns that we shared, plus coffee. Aside from the eggs issue (which were still good with ketchup), the bacon and sausages were good and surprisingly the pancakes (fluffy & moist) and the French toast were great. I would definitely come back here again.

Strawberry Vanilla Crepes

My favorite Denny's on the entire earth! As you notice from all the photos uploaded, we go to this particular Denny's for breakfast quite a bit. Service is always nice, my favorite berry vanilla crepe is always on point and so far has been available each time, keeping my fingers crossed xx. Mister likes the steak breakfast, must be good because it's his favorite breakfast dish to order, he has tried other dishes (eggs bene, omelette), but wasn't as pleased as with the steak. If you go on the weekends, and want to beat the early crowd, go early. Plenty of near by parking.

Spinach and mushroom omelette with Seasoned Red-Skinned Potatoes

From the time we walked in the staff was super friendly Kalani sat us and zen eye was our server. She rocked. Food came out fast and Annette kept my coffee and water coming. Kapolei staff gets a 10/10 from me and my fam.

One thing about Dennys you know what to expect. After an appointment decided to fed my hungry husband breakfast. Wait staff was quick to seat us and take our order. We ordered breakfast, it was delivered to us quickly and hot. Staff were friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The interior was the usual Dennys seating.

Okay Kapolei Denny's, here's the real scoop - my fam and I popped in to check out your freshly renovated digs (which look great, by the way - super clean and welcoming). We were greeted and seated right away and our potential server Karma was amazing - super sweet and doing her best to hold it down during what was clearly a rough night. So the good: place is shiny clean , we got our water and Karma is a gem . Now for the "wait, what?" part. We got there with no line and thought, yes, perfect timing! But once seated... crickets. No notice of delays, no orders taken, just us and our water. Fifteen minutes later we're still sipping water and wondering if we're invisible. We actually had to call Karma over just to ask if we could order..... and that's when we were told the kitchen was so backed up, they couldn't take orders yet. Meanwhile, two managers - one very noticeable in a bright orange shirt - were literally standing around chatting, while their team struggled and the kitchen fell behind. Leadership 101: when your crew is buried, you roll up your sleeves and jump in. You don't stand around seeing how long you can hold off seating people or delay orders. That's just not it, Denny's! Sadly, we gave up and left before even ordering any food. So we got water... and that's about it. Stars for Karma's attitude and the sparkling remodel. But please, Denny's Kapolei management - be the leaders your hardworking crew needs. We'd love to come back and actually eat next time! Do better for your staff and your customers will stick around.

Menu

I don't know if it was just last night but the menu is very very limited. I wish I knew that before we sat down because the food they had listed was not great at all. The only good thing that we did have was Zesty Nachos. So heads up before you go there....limited menu!

ALL DAY DINER DEALS !!! (7/27/23)
Elyssa T.

It's been a minute since we last came to Dennys so it was very refreshing to see the new changes in the menu and renovations. The restaurant was super busy and service was a bit slow. It's totally understandable because it was Mother's Day and they did their best to take care of all parties with grace. Denny's -- America's Diner for good food at a good cost feeding families every where.

Moani Bar & Grill at Ka Makana Ali'i is one of those spots that instantly feels like West Side pau…read morehana energy -- live music, good vibes, and plates that hit the spot after a long day. The atmosphere is open, breezy, and always buzzing, especially when the band starts up. It's the kind of place where you can roll in with family, friends, or your whole canoe crew and feel right at home. The menu leans heavy on local comfort favorites appetizers, island‑style entrées, and cocktails that go down easy. Portions are solid, flavors are consistent, and the drinks come out fast even when the place is packed. Moani's happy hour is one of the best parts -- perfect for grabbing a drink before dinner or chilling after shopping. Based on current listings and typical offerings at Moani's Kapolei location, happy hour usually includes: Discounted signature cocktails, Beer specials, Reduced‑price pupus like wings, fries and more. Moani is known for its live music, featuring local artists almost nightly. It's lively but not overwhelming -- you can still talk story at your table without yelling. The crowd is a mix of families, couples, and groups celebrating something (because someone is always celebrating something at Moani). Moani Bar & Grill is a solid Kapolei pau hana spot -- good food, strong drinks, live music, and a happy hour that makes it easy to unwind without breaking the bank. If you're already cruising Ka Makana Ali'i, it's one of the best places to stop, chill, and enjoy the West Side vibe.

I recently had dinner at Moani Bistro & Bar, and my experience was a mix of positives and…read morenegatives. The food was what I'd describe as typical local bar-and-grill fare. It was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the steak was a disappointment of the meal. It was quite tough and lacked the rich flavor I was hoping for. The restaurant itself has a lively atmosphere, though it can get very loud, making conversation at the table a bit challenging. The highlight of the evening was definitely the live music. Randy performed during dinner, and he was fantastic. His music was the perfect fit for a dinner setting, great song selection, enjoyable vocals, and just the right vibe to enhance the overall experience without overpowering it.

It's a nice mom and pop feel with a pane of pexi-glass between tables. It feels like private tables. I had a cup of coffee served in a nice ceramic cup labeled with their name on it. I had a bowl of loco moco which was very good. The gravy was well seasoned and it went well with the white rice. The hamburger itself was flavorful and heavy, just the way I like it.

The kama'aina fried rice was filled with lots of meat: bacon, spam, ham, and Portuguese sausage. It was pretty good. The pancake flight was okay. Would've been better if I could choose the pancakes. Overall, the lilikoi pancake was the best! I didn't too much favor the chocolate taro-haupia or the cookie butta lava. The Kalua pork omelette was good, but I wish there was more meat inside. All the portions were very generous. The only thing we didn't like was that everything was overloaded with onions. And I LOVE onions, but even I thought it was too much. For that reason, my family didn't care too much for their meals. Overall, we had a fair experience. Seating is a little tight, but we were still comfortable. The only inconvenience was the bathroom on the top floor, which can be difficult when you have little kids.

First time here and loving the aloha vibes. Located in Kapolei and lots of locals come here…read more Awesome services, very friendly, and my order came out quick. When you walk in you will be greeted by the cashiers. Menu is on a screen. You order first, pay, and the cashier will give you table number if you are dine-in. Kinda reminds me of Carl's Jr or Conner Bakery. I order a small Ice Coffee coffee of the day was Kona and a Tomato Jam Sammie. The sandwich came pretty quickly, the briche was toasted, overeasy egg, cheese topped with arugula and tomato jam which had a BBQ flavor. Their prices are reasonable for a cafe style and the food are made fresh. So it's a good experience if you are in Kapolei area. This is a good size cafe with options to sit indoors or outdoors. I sat at the outdoor bar area because there's 3 TVs up. Perfect for me to watch the World Cup Spain vs Belgium. I definitely would come back to try out their lunch menu.
