    Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak and Turkey Club
    Keisha C.

    Really tasty and hearty sandwiches that were packed with a lot of filling. I got the turkey club which was really good and I love the amount of lettuce they add for a crunch. The chipotle chicken was also really good a bit on the heavier side but a lot of chicken included. I did think the sandwich was going to be bigger for the price of almost $20 a sandwich. Won't be an everyday thing but definitely a nice treat.

    As someone who was raised on the east coast, I'm always skeptical of those claiming to make east coast hoagies but these are legit! We had the opportunity to chat with the owner and he was so nice. Gave us the background and you could clearly see the pride he takes in sourcing the correct, high quality ingredients.

    Avery busy place for lunch. Chicken sandwich moit and bun is soft and easy to cheese. Fillet huge and perfectly grilled . They used to have lobster rolls but not more .Fries look good looking like waffees.

    Sandwiches are delicious and i always come back for the chicken sandwiches. They have inside and outside seating tables. The staff is always friendly. I chose to try the kalbi cheesesteak and it was messy but delicious! I might not get that again but like I said the chicken sandwiches are the best!

    They sell east coast subs, burgers and chicken sandwiches. We tried two of their subs and it wasn't bad. We got the classic cheesesteak (top sirloin, white American, cheese whiz, grilled onions and mayo) $19.50 and Earl's cheesesteak (top sirloin, white American, provolone, chipotle sauce, grilled onions and sweet peppers) $19.95. The classic cheesesteak was better. It was moist, had more cheese and was more flavored. The Earl's cheesesteak was dry and we could hardly taste the cheese. They both came in a crisp and toasted baguette. They also had my fave Orange Bang as a fountain drink. You don't see those everyday. We ordered the house drink sweet tea $5.50. It was different. It wasn't the sweet tea that I'm used to. The tea was flavored. It has some kind of floral taste to it. The drinks are refillable. I refilled it with an Orange Bang, which I loved.

    Turkey Club

    Lots of indoor seating and a single stall bathroom available! This spot is on the corner and has lots of sandwich options which can be great on a hot day when you need some AC. I ordered the turkey with pesto and added avocado. The bread was so yummy but it was definitely a more narrow sandwich. I also tried the chicken sandwich which was good but a smaller portion. They were out of fries which sucked... but the staff was very friendly! We ordered chips and a drink anyway. Overall a good place but pretty pricy for size.

    Cubano Italiano

    Let's start with the bad, i guess. Parking here stinks. You can park and pay at Salt or try and find street parking (good luck with that). Ok. thats all the negative I can think of. EARL sells "East Coast subs and burgers"....as someone from the East Coast...umm...ok? I would never have called these East Coast subs as I think of fresh subs from bodegas loaded with tons of fresh veggies. And yet, the sandwiches here are still pretty darn tasty. The interior is small but always clean. There's always a daily special written down on the chalkboard in front of the counter. They make your sandwiches fresh so expect a little bit of a wait. Even with no real line it can take a couple minutes to get your order. I normally get the Cubano Italiano. (Cubanos are one of my favorite sandwiches and for some reason they just dont exist out here.) While this one is far from a traditional cubano, it is absolutely delicious. (Mortadella, ham, spanish chorizo, genoa salami, swiss cheese, sweet and cherry peppers, and mustard & mayo). They always come out hot and the bread is always toasted to perfection. I also tried their Spicy Caprese (+fried Chicken) which was a daily special last week. It was also really tasty. The chicken was super crisp, flavorful and juicy. The only thing was the spice came from the oil used and it wasn't spicy enough for me and was just a little too oily for my liking. Still finished the whole thing in record time tho. Haha. Waffle fries are good too, but nothing super exciting. Just a good, decent set of fries. They also sell UTZ potato chips which was a nice East Coast surprise for me to see out here. And they're the only place i know of that has Orange Bang on tap at the soda fountain. Tasty, but not as flavorful as Zippys...but free refills.

    Country style chicken sandwich and a daily special cheesesteak
    Hailley O.

    I was craving sandwiches for lunch so we decided to check out Earl. I ordered the country style chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got a cheesesteak that was on the daily specials that day. The chicken sandwich I got was ok, it was a little dry and I wish it had more sauce on it. The cheesesteak sandwich was really good, lots of meat and cheese, and the crispy bread held it all together nicely. We also got a side of waffle fries, which were good; you don't see waffle fries at much places. When we were there, there weren't a lot of people so food came out fairly quickly. Prices aren't too bad either!

    You know what? The bread is just so good. It reminded me of the bahn mi bread from the various Vietnamese places. Crunchy, soft. Just good. There. That's my review. Nah. Just kidding. The service was a little slow. I didn't count the minutes but I guess it might have taken awhile to fry up the chicken for their Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak, or Po Boy sandwich (which is good because we want those cooked well) and the waffle fries too. Who knows. Was worth the wait. My family pretty much inhaled their food. We had a Chipotle chicken cheesesteak with cherry peppers and hot honey, 2 premium sub combos both Reubens, and a classic sub combo - po boy. It came to $120.26 with tip. I know...for sandwiches. BUT, we brought home two halves and a serving of waffle fries. They had orange bang (a drink I thought I could only get at Zippy's) and a sweet tea that was good. We vow not to indulge that often in $120 sandwiches. It's a brightly lit place near SALT at Kakaako and on the same block as the HMart. It's clean and can get crowded depending on the time of day. We just missed the lunch crowd so we were able to secure a table to eat. We were also able to get street parking for free because it was a Sunday. Overall, decent place. Just the price. I accept the fact that eating out nowadays is going to make me cry a little.

    Waffle Fries
    Tasha K.

    EARL Kakaako is my go-to spot for a quick, delicious sandwich or burger. Although they're known for their sandwiches, I always get the Earl Single burger, which is melty and full of their flavorful EARL sauce. I love their crispy Waffle Fries and their unique house made ketchup. Vibe: There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I love bringing my dog with me! The workers are nice and the service is very fast. They also have a bathroom inside the restaurant. Parking: There's street parking around the area, but typically it's hard to find a stall during busy hours.

    EARL's Cheesesteak
    Karmen B.

    Went here with my wife before the beach. I had been craving a sandwich. We ordered a chicken Philly and steak Philly and it just felt like the sandwiches were missing some flavor. It was so close to being good but just wasn't great. I also think the price for a sandwich was a bit much. We spent almost $60 on two sandwiches, two drinks, chips and loaded fries. I'd give 3/5 for the food but for the price 2/5. Way over priced even for Honolulu

    EARL Single combo
    Kathy L.

    Used to be one of the best places to get a decent sandwich but they've taken too many of the goods ones off the menu, like the turkey jam sam. Also, they don't allow you to build your own sandwiches which deters me from going there for a sandwich. Their prices have also gotten pretty pricey. Oddly enough, the other items on the menu like their chicken burgers and waffle cut fries are tasty. I'm so happy they added Orange Bang to their fountain drinks but I must say it's pretty diluted/watered down.

    Hot Honey Old Bay Chicken Sandwich
    Jade Z.

    My boyfriend recently started working at a barbershop nearby and we have gone to get food here a few times now. Everything we have tried is really good! I love their chicken sandwiches! Like it was a problem at one point.. My personal favorite is the Hot Honey Old Bay and of course you have to get their crispy waffle fries. On another occasion I tried the Italian 12". It was also very good. It was meaty and had all the yummy pickled veggies. And honestly I don't know what I was expecting when it came to the size of the sandwich but it was pretty big. It was my lunch and dinner for the day! I also saw recently on IG that they're gonna start doing combos so I'm excited to go back and check it out soon! PS I'd rather spend my money here and support local instead of a fast food chain that charges the same prices.

And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out.

    I checked the app and saw that the next available pickup time was about an hour and a half away, so…read moreI scheduled my order before heading to the gym around 12:30 PM. About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order. There are only a few parking spaces directly in front of Bocconcino, so that's something to keep in mind. There's some tables under a covered area, right next to the store. Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

    Love the atmosphere of this place ...reminds me of being on the East Coast. Parking can be a pain…read morepoint and has stopped me from going a few times when the spots out front are full. In addition to food they have a small shop stocked with goodies from Italy, which adds to the charm. The pizza crust was fantastic crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that I wish it had more sauce. I'm a saucy gal! The bite that had a good amount of sauce was incredibly flavorful, but the rest of the slice was a bit dry, and I tasted more oil than tomato sauce. It was great dough but the flavor was not there for me. I really want to love this pizza more! The staff was friendly, though it took a little while to get my slice. They reheat each slice to order, and they were busy making other items, so it was understandable. I'll be back to try a panini!

    Just got off an office diet challenge where we ate no carbs for three months and after our diet…read morechallenge the entire office knew we wanted to LIL G'S!! Nothing like eating huge sandwiches and the best pizza around! Our office orders takeout frequently from little g's and we absolutely love it here! We usually have place our order a few days in advance to secure our order for the day we want. They do run out fast so it is safer to place the order in advance too. You can order online but after a certain amount it requires you to phone in your order. I didn't grab a picture of everyone's food but this was the two sandwiches I got! The chicken parm is incredible stacked with 3-4 pieces of chicken parm and their red sauce with mozzarella served hot. The Italian has three different meat with cheese and lettuce and bell peppers served cold. These were served with a different grained bread which was a lil different than what we are used to but still really great! Service here is always great and food is always mind blowing with their large portions and fresh ingredients!

    My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
