    Hapa pancakes
    Cheryl B.

    Haven't been for a while so decided to have breakfast here. 5 booths and a 6 seater table inside and you have the option to scan the QR code at your table. 5 tables outside on the patio. Staff is the best, ordered with Anjelica at the front window and went inside through the back to get our drinks and sit inside. Hapa pancakes and dirty hash loco moco was our order today and it did not disappoint our cravings.

    Cornbeef Hash and Eggs with Hashbrowns
    Kainani K.

    Excellent customer service! The young woman that took our order was really nice and helpful, and patient with us as we asked about the menu. Customer service on its own was 5 stars. We ended up getting a corned beef hash and eggs plate with hash browns, side scrambled eggs with a side of rice, and a forty niner breakfast (Portuguese Sausage, eggs and fried rice). The corned beef hash was a little too sweet for me, but it was perfectly cooked! My eggs and hash browns were also perfectly cooked. My granddaughters eggs were a little too soft scrambled so I shared my eggs with her since mine were scrambled well. My husband's Portuguese Sausage and eggs were perfectly cooked but his rice was on the softer side.

    Hole in da wall goodness right here. Located along kam highway passing the stadium and Dixie grill but immediately before 711 prior to pearlridge. They have a small gravel parking lot and some outdoor seating as well. Always pass this diner in traffic to and from work. Had a day off and fiance suggested we try here for breakfast. We didnt sit in but chose to take it home. Something we need to do again because the food was so ono! They have written specials and a wide range menu from breakfast, bunch, and lunch. We came on a Friday morning and service was quick! We walked up to the window and ordered right away. Had the strawberry guava sweet bread French toast, ube waffles and fried chicken, cornbeef patty loco moco, cheeseburger and side of fries. Brah. Everything was good! Ive never had this spin of strawberry Guava sweet bread French toast before, also topped with fresh strawberries! Ube waffles was ono! But since it was in the container on our drive home. The waffles became a bit soggy since there was no air circulation, the flavor and fried chicken was on point though! Their spin on the loco moco is one you have to try for a fulfilling and tasty experience. Fries were so crispy and fresh! Just needed to add a pinch of salt. Cheeseburger was pretty good too. Our order took no longer than 15-20 min. Cant wait to come back to try more food!

    The front door and parking lot

    The Forty Niner Restaurant in Aiea, Honolulu, is an exceptional experience. It is for anyone who wants to experience really local cuisine. Opened in 1947, the Forty Niner offers a selection of local fairs like saimin , loco moco, furikake salmon, taro sweetbread French toast and hamburgers for the less adventurous. The service is mixed - place your order at the front counter and wait at a table for service. But, the staff is wonderful. Ambiance? The Forty Niner is in a small building that has about 7 or 8 tables inside and a few more on the back patio. It has a simple, local atmosphere. But, it is on our list of places we try to get to every time we are in Hawaii.

    Mac nut pancakes
    Ivan A.

    49er diner has been a pleasant surprise on our trip to Oahu. We've been to tons of diners and drive ins, this place feels just as much of a local spot as you can get. Prices are fair and foods great. Ordered (1x) "49er breakfast" Portuguese sausage, 2 eggs, a fried rice plate and (1x) of the Mac nut pancakes. Split the plates with the wife and I and the total was ~$21.00. Everything was amazing, food super filling, and staff was friendly. Ordered via the app, they have QR codes on the tables for easy service.

    Egg Cheeseburger
    Candice L.

    I've heard so many great things about 49er restaurants and I have attempted to come on many occasions, but the parking always threw me off. Today was not that day. They have a small lot at the back off the main road with free parking which is always a plus. This no frills diner greets you with a friendly face, easy order options and solid grindz. Prices are also so reasonable which blows my mind. I got an egg cheeseburger, which was good but the homemade patty could've used a little kick. My macaroni salad was a solid portion and also very simple and even better with a touch of salt. My friend got the pancakes which she loved and the breakfast sausages hit the spot. It feels like your friendly neighborhood diner to roll into and i love the backyard seating I'll definitely return when in the area to try some other items off the menu.

    Garlic Chicken Lunch Plate
    Marlee B.

    Walk up window makes it easy and fast to order. Seating in/out, it's up to you. Random fact: they have ice coffee. Staff is nice, food is plenty and quick

    Brandi P.

    Super good garlic chicken It comes with a salad with amazing Asian salad dressing. We also got the Loco Moco and there was nothing wrong with it and it was as good as it could be, but we were just trying it for the 1st time to try it. It's not something we would normally order and would probably not get again. I would eat that chicken all day!

    Glenn N.

    Opened in 1947, yes, 1947! Forty Niner restaurant has been serving up amazing local food. Their plate lunch is in know island wide. But for me it's their breakfast! The Paniolu breakfast (Hawaiian cowboy) 10oz big island grass fed ribeye with 3 large eggs over fried rice SLAMS! Another standout is the corned beef hash and eggs. Simple potatoes and corned beef, cooked to perfection. Crispy outside the soft in the middle. Paired the ketchup is another home run! Service is always impeccable. Since Covid changed dine in policy where you have to our outside then find a seat. Love this place

    Stopped by for brunch after visiting the swap meet. Place was busy! We had tried the chicken n ube waffles, dirty loco moco, and garlic chicken. Everything was delicious and definitely plenty of food. Service was awesome and the ladies kept checking in on us.

    Teri beef sandwich
    Ross T.

    This is an old time restaurant and favorite that we used to go to with my parents and now with our children and grand children. They still haven't changed the quality of the food with old time favorites and good friendly service and family feeling. Me and my wife had the Teriyaki sandwich and the regular size Saimin combo which was delicious and the broth was tasty and the teriyaki beef was very tender and tasty. Our grand daughter had the regular Saimin and hamburger combo and she said it was very good and ate everything. Parking is unpaved and just dirt parking lot all the until you enter the outside seating area, it would be a little difficult if you had a walker or wheelchair because of the unevenness, but not impossible to try the food at this great old time restaurant. You can get a seat and scan the QR code and place your order and they will bring your order to the table or call out your name to give you your order. The waitress was very nice you can order water from her or buy bottle water and she also cleans the table once the customers leave. They have one restroom between the outside & inside dining room and it is one for men or woman. Been awhile eating here and looking forward to trying other old time favorite that they serve.

    7/25 prices
    Gina H.

    First off let me just say that my pictures are off! I was probably hungry. The bento was very satisfying! The quality of the proteins was very good. Everything was freshly made. Beef cutlet was interesting but not what we expected. It was thin sliced beef in gravy. It was yummy but not fried and breaded. Spaghetti Mac salad was kinda tasteless. I would go back again. Price was very reasonable.

    Gigi D.

    We used to pass this restaurant and they always had a long line outside. We did an order through yelp because we were anticipating it would be busy. When we got to the parking lot, it was pretty busy, there were people waiting outside. We decided to wait in the car in the parking lot. I kept looking at the notifications on yelp but it was more than 25 minutes, almost 30. My Husband decided to go in and check on the order and it was there, waiting. Maybe I shouldn't order through yelp anymore. After we got our order, they still didn't update the app after we had already picked up our food. My husband tried the smoked meat breakfast plate with over easy eggs, and I had the kalua pork with lomi salmon with scrambled eggs. Both plates were upgraded with fried rice. The portions are a lot.

However, they told me they don't take reservations and to just walk in. Well, we got there and had to wait 58 minutes before we got seated. Pro tip: just have them put you down on the list. Don't listen about not taking reservations for large parties. I found out after that a group of 8 got reservations for 6:30 so I was quite unhappy about that. It didn't help that there was a table with 3 people who were there since 3pm (it was already 7:58 at this point) who were still occupying the tables and the staff couldn't make them leave. They eventually moved them to another smaller table, but they could have done that sooner, just saying. Not the restaurant's complete fault, people can be extremely inconsiderate but there maybe should be a system for dealing with these types of situations. All they had were empty bottles, they were not ordering anything. Anyway, we finally got seated, and as expected, the food didn't disappoint. We got the Tasty Chicken (always a must), boneless kalbi (super tender and flavorful), loco moco (one of the best on the island) and oxtail soup (theirs is pretty solid). We also got pumpkin crunch, strawberry crunch, and cream cheese brownie. Everything was amazing as usual and they all said it was the best food they had on-island during their trip. The food was worth the wait, but, that wait could've truly been avoided. It's not somewhere you take a first date unless you are bowling because it is super loud. It is located in an out of the way, not really scenic spot. Parking can be a bear. But it remains to be one of those tried and true "local" spots that never fail to please. *Rating is solely for the food and reliability of the excellent flavors and quality of the food
