    French Fries
    Emi H.

    I loooooovvveee Hot Dog On A Stick! And I love that the workers here are wearing the uniform hats! At the Hot Dog On A Stick on Oahu they don't even wear the traditional uniform because they can't find workers because of it. I love the original uniform! It's so cute!!! Normally I order the full sampler platter but we'd already eaten lots of snacks, so we just got a french fries and frozen lemonade to share. Usually I get a small or a medium sized drink to share, but the large comes with $2 refills! Whaaaattt???!!! I can't pass up that kind of unnecessary deal with over the top sugar consumption! Workers are super nice and that frozen lemonade really is the best. We have plans to go back tomorrow to watch a movie and get our $2 refill! I can't wait to have a corn dog and zucchini sticks!

    LOVED HER!

    The 5 stars is really for the employee who worked her perky Hot-Dog-On-a-Stick uniform and cap like it was runway couture all the while smilingly up-selling us into fries and lemonades and simultaneously deep frying our order in vats of bubbling hot liquid oil..... BRAVA ! I fell in love with her on the spot and she even let me take her picture. She was deep fried sales GENIUS ! I've sprinted past this mall counter with my face averted many time trying to avoid the very idea of deep fried hotdog. But this was where my niece wanted to go for her birthday. So I forced a smile on my face and said "uh, are you sure?" and then "OK! Let's do it!" We had a full order of deep fried zucchini with ranch dressing (sounds healthy, right??? zucchini and the word "ranch' ? healthy right??? ) and we had deep fried battered hot dogs on a stick, and deep fried french fries, and lemonade. It was all fried-to-order (not reheated or microwaved) and hot and as tasty as you might expect (yes we ate it all !) and yeah, I didn't feel so healthy after, but it did remind me of eating at a county fair, so that brought back some good memories. And my niece was thrilled. It was fairly priced. I think our whole order added up to about $17. There's a cute little carousel in the mall right near the counter where we had fun watching a local braddah ride the carousel trying to convince his kid it would be fun. The kid was not convinced. I think the braddah was enjoying it though anyway. oh yeah, THEY HAVE DEEP FRIED CHEESE ON A STICK TOO ! (didn't try it.... YET!)

    Workers are rude and don't know how to operate their equipment. Multiple times on different days they shutdown to heat their fryers.

    My husband loves the dogs and lemonade, but I'm just along for the zucchini ride. #SoOno! And even better reheated in the air fryer later.

K's maintains that claim with flying colors. Awesome gravy, perfectly cooked easy over eggs, and decent hamburger patties make this a must for that similar loco moco craze that I experienced during this recent trip home to Hilo. I promise you, you can't go wrong here. Lots of parking, lots of covered seating, very friendly service, lots to choose from menu-wise, and bonus being attached to a liquor store (Kadota's). It's been years since I've been here, I'm so happy to see they're still around. Slightly disappointed i have to order mac salad separately, and a double loco is mot the standard large plate lunch size, rather a slight smaller. That's ok, honestly, I shouldn't be eating so much stuff that is the loco moco for one meal anyway, much less having one 3 days in a row. But, I'll be back when I'm back. Delicious.

I got the bleu cheese burger medium rare, a solid choice that I was satisfied with and the crispy fries and sweet potato fries were yummy too! They offered a free birthday burger so that was such a lovely addition to my night, and the selection of beer was solid as well. Shout out to the bartender working on 6/18 when a drunken patron bothered our group. We were close to leaving anyways and I made sure to speak my mind to him, but the situation was handled well by the bartender and the staff was apologetic despite it not being their fault so hopefully the rest of their night went well! I will be back to try out more appetizers and other burgers as well

We're staying close by so I drive over and make the takeout order in person. Super easy and a member of staff is there to take my order as soon as I walk in the door. After taking my order and payment, I'm told to hang outside at a red bench in their courtyard which I guess you could also eat at but also serves as their de facto holding pen as another guy is also out there doing the same thing I'm doing. After 15 or so minutes everything is brought out to me. Caprese Burger - California Burger - Bacon Cheese Burger Let me start with what's good. The burgers were all cooked to their requested temperatures. The fries were also decent as well and many packets of ketchup and mayo were put in the bag if needed. What's not good. The buns are not toasted so in a takeout environment they become straight up wet diaper soggy and it's also disconcerting when you ask for the bacon to be cooked crispy and it's served white/soggy/limp and barely cooked. Everything seemed nice enough inside and if ever back on the Big Island I would probably try HBJ again, but if you're taking online orders, please enable the platform and if not, remove the website prompt that you do and cook the bacon dammit, wet noodle is never fun. (3.5 rounding down)

My go-to drink I got 3 days in a row while I was back home was the Iced Breve - espresso with cream, with no sweetener & no added flavor. It was perfect for me. I wish I got the large every day I was there. Because I was busy with things throughout the day. It kept me alert & awake with no crash (which most coffee does to me :( ) - but the breve from here didn't. For those watching their sugar intake, or wanting a keto-friendly drink with a good balance of espresso coffee & cream fat, I highly recommend this. All the other coffee shops I went to while on Oahu, I couldn't find breve on the menu. I first tried this place a while back in 2017, my cousin brought us here. And got the Iced Toddy, cold brewed coffee, which was way too strong for me at that time. We went inside this time, it's a small shop. It's a drive-thru as well, so it's perfect when it's raining out. Service is 5 stars as well. All of the drinks we got were onoliscious, no complaints. I miss this place. I will do my best to make my own at home till I come back. Mahalo & Alohaaa!

There is always someone supervising and tidying the dining area. The drive-through service is so popular, the line never seems to shorten. Because inching along in an idling car does not appeal, I nearly always go inside and use the table service. After taking a seat, I log on to the free WiFi service, open the McDonald's app, enter my order, select the table-service option, enter the table number marked on a silver disk, and pay with my linked credit card. I read emails till a staffer brings the order directly to me. The table-service option appeals especially to those of us who'd prefer to forgo the ritual of hovering around the pickup window with other customers, waiting for our numbers to be called. The app also offers the option to park in a designated mobile-phone space near the entrance and have the staff bring your order outside to you. I can't comment on the meals, because I rarely come for more than a coffee break. But one bonus at this Scottish establishment is that a large coffee and pocket pie are half of what Starbuck's would charge for something similar. Thrifty, eh? Oh, and the people watching is better here, too.
