We had a wonderful breakfast at Forty Niner Restaurant while visiting Hawaii with family during a storm and unexpected power outage. Despite the circumstances, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. I ordered the garlic chicken and my husband had the Big Boy Breakfast--both were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The food, service, and warm hospitality truly made our morning special. Nice atmosphere and hospitality was top tier!!! If you're looking for a great breakfast spot with amazing service, I highly recommend Forty Niner Restaurant. read more

I really like their chicken garlic and their breakfast options -- both are consistently tasty and make this place a solid choice any time of day. They also serve Green River, which is a fun bonus and not something you see everywhere. There's seating both inside and in the back outside, giving you options depending on the vibe you want. Parking was easy, which is always a plus, and their menu has a wide variety of options to choose from, so it's easy to find something you'll enjoy. Overall, it's a great brunch spot with good food, plenty of choices, and convenient parking.Provide your feedback on BizChat read more

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. read more

I recommend this place mostly for breakfast had the fried rice it was great tasty perfect! Real thick slice of bacon eggs however you want it and we tried the Leilani French toast with blueberries that was OK. I would get all of it again. Quick place for breakfast plates along with indoor outdoor seating if you're gonna have brunch with friends or family. read more

I've always passed this place and finally got to try it. Ordered the Adobo Fried Rice Omelette and it pretty dang huge. I'm not a Adobo rice expert but seemed it was good. Maybe some chopped green onions would've added some "oomph" but overall nice - nice presentation with sunny side egg on top and totally wrapped with egg. Interior seating area was simple, clean and cool. Service was really slow as it took over 30 minutes to receive my order. Online app order was convenient but a little hard to navigate but I figured it out. I would come back but kinda wary if there's lots of people waiting outside. Small parking lot was packed but I was lucky to get a stall. read more

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! read more

Customer service, food and bathroom ghetto. At one time used to be good. We had to order QR NO waitress. Normally i hesitate to post negative. But not worth it. It is like they don't care. DISAPPOINTING. read more

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. read more

Food was overall good. The building itself looks a little run down but don't let that scare you from trying it. Bacon was really good, a bit salty but I think it added to the overall flavor.

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 read more

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. read more

This is an excellent breakfast/brunch restaurant for small groups indoors (2-4) or larger outside. Parking is a little small. They have lots of typical breakfast options but I enjoy the unique ones like the smoked meat breakfast. It's a must try. Service is always warm and friendly. Their menu is online through QR code and is less hassle if you install the app. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ok, this is my initial visit to Forty Niner Restaurant...even though I am local born and raised. This establishment is considered a local landmark for food....so shame on me. Firstly, I don't have reason to visit the Pearlridge area unless I am going to Down to Earth, Pearl Kai Center, or Pearlridge Center. Secondly, whenthe building is painted yellow and there's red lettering of "Forty Niner" at the top - and I'm a Patriots fan - not enthusiastic about making a visit unless hangry. I requested the Forty Niner Loco Moco ( eggs, over easy ) for takeaway. It was good. Many plate lunch eateries over season their food but this was, if anything, borderline bland...a good thing as you can always add but not remove. The Molokai roast pork was the star of the plate...winnahs. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant, with a unpaved lot. I patked at the 711 on the corner. read more

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. read more

With ono local classics and reasonable prices, it's easy to see why Forty Niner has been a favorite for decades. A friend and I shared the forty niner pancakes (banana mac nut pancakes smothered in haupia sauce ), he got the dirty hash loco moco (loco moco with corned beef hash, and their dirty sauce), and I got the forty niner breakfast burrito (fried rice, kalua pig, egg, grilled onion, sour cream). The burrito was good, and even better with tobasco sauce, which made me wish it came with pico de gallo or salsa or something... The burrito has a lot of comforting, albeit heavy flavors, and could use something bright and spicy to lift it up. It was still really good though. I had a bite of my friend's loco moco - so good with the dirty sauce. I have no idea what it is exactly, but it's creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy, and brings something bright to the dish. And my favorite: the forty niner pancakes! They were incredible: big, fluffy pancakes with the banana cooked inside so it gets all caramelized. The haupia sauce is so good - it's not too sweet, and the mac nuts on top bring a perfect crunch. Great combination of flavors and textures. The portions for all the dishes were very generous, with reasonable prices. The space itself has both indoor and outdoor seating (with shade). We sat outside, under a mango tree, and there were cute lights strung up over the tables. There is parking right next to the restaurant, which is convenient, and a bathroom for customers to use. read more

It is one of my favorite places for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and sometimes dinner (when I can make it). I usually get the Aloha Box, which has Short ribs (Kalbi) and Garlic Chicken ($16.95). I have the picture for Adobo Fried Rice Omelete ($12.95) because that is what I tried for the first time! Delicious!!! I always take it home or eat it in the car, but there is a space inside and outside as well Bad: - Be careful when exiting the restaurant from the parking lot. Good: - It has a good parking space unless an influx of people visits simultaneously. - Fantastic staff and delicious food that I will never get tired of eating. The seasoning is perfect, and the grilling is on point as well! - Reasonable pricing with an adequate serving size. Conclusion: My go-to restaurant! I always tell my friends to visit when they come to Hawaii, especially when heading to the North Shore area or even the Dole Plantation. read more

We passed this restaurant many times but hadn't stopped because the road fronting it is pretty busy due to the stop lights and traffic. We're happy we decided to give it a try. I've been here three times since then. There's a large gravel parking lot. Orders are taken at the front corner outside. Then if you're dining in, you can sit down inside or outside and they bring your food to you. They also do takeout orders. The outside area has several picnic tables and a large mango tree shading the area. The prices are super reasonable and the food is delicious. I have only ordered the forty niner breakfast so far, which comes with fried rice. The fried rice flavor and amount of pieces of meat is consistent. Table service is provided outside, serving water and coffee. The staff is super friendly. read more

We found another spot that will easily become one of our favorite spots near our home! The staff are sweethearts, seriously so sweet even on this raining day. The building and parking lot definitely need some love though... there were a ton of leaking spots in the roof and the parking lots in full of pot holes, but to be fair... we did just have a TON of rain, so this could be a recent development. The food we got was delicious, the fresh toast tasted the campfire marshmallow (according to my 5yr old) and the chorizo plate we got was....just YUM! Food was a tad pricey, but unfortunately that's just hawaii. We'll definitely be back read more

Forty Niner serves some of the locals' favorites. This rating reflects on what was ordered today, and not the entire menu. Decided to try the beef cutlet for the first time, assuming and expecting it to be like a typical chicken cutlet (breaded thin cut meat, fried, with gravy). The beef cutlet was a 3/10 to me... all it was is ground beef seasoned lightly with salt and maybe garlic powder? And smothered with gravy (whatever season was added, it still tasted bland). That's something I could cook at home easily, but of course with more flavor. For $14, this wasn't worth it and it shouldn't cost that much. I also ordered a side of garlic chicken, one of their more popular items. Flavor was good as always, but I believe I had the scraps (tiny pieces that were left). There were 3-4 decent size chicken pieces (half the size of a large peeled boiled egg) and the rest were small, which were of course hard or seemed overcooked. I wouldn't get the "ground beef cutlet" for those of you curious. Get the loco moco or roast pork instead if you want something with gravy. read more

Great plate lunches & breakfast stuff. Roast pork Molokai style is delicious and tender. I normally like mix greens, but their mac salad made with spaghetti noodle is great. We normally order takeout as seating area is in covered patio. Fried noodle with side chicken or teriyaki beef is good too. read more

Forty Niner is one of those landmark establishments that's been sitting on the same spot for years. While the place has that ambiance of its age, with wooden screen doors and about 7 tables inside (which can be accessed through the back entrance), it also has an outdoor eating area that overlooks the gravel parking lot with a large mango tree providing the rustic outdoor feel. Now, to the food. Solid stuff. From their $10 Forty Niner Breakfast plate with fried rice, eggs, and meat to the fried chicken and ube waffles all served in takeout containers, all good. I had their adobo fried rice omelet. Was good, I'm a more vinegary adobo girlie, so it needed more of the garlic and vinegar taste to me. I did add Tabasco and shoyu because I needed a little more salt and heat. Everyone orders at the window and if you're eating in, they'll bring your order to you. We didn't know if we had to bus our own tables, so we left our cups and stuff on the table. read more

Wow! Five star place for sure! Food 5/5 we had the breakfast burrito- also don't know what it's called, but it had spam, egg and fried rice Pancakes- don't know name the cashier just said they were her favorite, but they were 2 pancakes, topped with bacon, banana, peanut butter and syrup. The combination was insane! Service 5/5 The reason for not knowing the name of the food is because I have the tendency to ask who's taking the order what is the most popular, what's their favorite, or what they recommend- I usually listen, nod and say -- yes, that one. Everyone was so nice, helpful and overall a must when visiting Oahu! A nice place to eat on the way to Pearl Harbor. read more

First of all ... I may have ordered the wrong things at the wrong time .. I've heard so much good things about this place .. but was disappointed with my choices . When I went had lots of parking spaces . When I went up to order .. it was so noisy the person taking the order could hardly hear me due to the traffic at that hour . But he very nice and apologized for the noise . I went just before closing ( closed at 6pm) and tried their Forty Niner Special Bento because I wanted variety and to try garlic chicken and teriyaki beef. Also ordered the Fried Saimin with Teri beef . The Fried Saimin portion was very generous but it was very salty . The taste was there but overwhelming salty . I added on the Teri beef for additional $4 but very disappointing it was only one small slice of meat . Again the taste was there ... but $4 for a little slice of meat ? Totally not worth it ... The bento was very generous but the garlic chicken was on the dry side like it's been sitting there for awhile on the burner . So disappointed ... not sure if I want to return there again although I want to support small businesses. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant every few years and it has changed alot. Lets just say everything seemed to improve since my last visit. Alot has changed...Now you order through a window from outside then choose a spot to sit..Then one of their staff will bring you your food. .There are outside patio seating (picnic table around 7 tables) and there is also inside (airconditioned old school padded booths) and even some other metal tables and chairs (maybe seating for around 32 people) inside. The staff are all pleasant and cool and there is even an inhouse bathroom (always a good thing) Menu (pic) is platelunch and burger fare. Portions are decent anf prices aint too bad. I dont normally mention taste of food in reviews because all have different preferences but My beefcutlet needed salt (but sometimes restaurants leave it underseasoned so customers can salt as they prefer (it needed alot of salt or maybe its just me ) oh and if you plan on going with their beef cutlet it aint you usual breaded beef cutlet its more like pieces of beef with gravy....I would be happy ordering it again and adding salt ....I also ordered a burger and liked it (no salt needed) It was awesome to hear that the music they was listening to in the kitchen was CHRISTIAN music Always gotta give thanks to Our LORD. So 49ers restaurant (2.0) is all good read more

Parking is kind of chaotic here so definitely recommend having a little patience when getting into the parking lot if you drive. This restaurant gives me such classic Hawaii vibes. Came for the local style food and they definitely did not disappoint. Customer service was on point and food came out fast and hot. While, there's patio dining on the outside, I definitely recommend eating on the inside where there is very nice air conditioning since it gets super humid. Pro tip: Make sure you order through the front window on the outside of the property or order through the QR code, if you're gonna dine on the inside. I personally ordered outside since there's an additional surcharge using the QR code. read more
