Teri burger deluxe with french fries for $11. Good deal. Tasty. My usual choice for lunch. However, I should comment the cashier didn't wash her hands or wear gloves when handling the burger buns for my order. She handled cash bills, one of the filthiest things on earth then handled food without handwashing or gloves. I'll remind them next time. read more

One of my favorite place when I'm at NEX Mall Food Court. 5 STARS for the service. The staff, aunties and uncles are truly offer Aloha. They treat each customers like family. The menu is extensive and they have a lot of the island favorites. Its fresh, and all made to order. One of my go to is the Lechon Kawali. Juicy, moist and tender chunks of pork belly. Huge, generous portion. It can feed for two people. The food court does gets busy especially during the busy lunch hour rush. read more

This place is located in the NEX food court. I Love Country Café is one of those spots my family keeps coming back to--and for good reasons. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and everything feels like it's made with care. Our top three go-to dishes are the seafood club sandwich, braised ribs, and furikake fish. The seafood club is stacked and satisfying, packed with flavor in every bite. The braised ribs are tender and rich, falling off the bone. The furikake fish is always a hit well-seasoned and just comforting in the best way. We almost always end up sharing because the portions are so big. You will always leave full and happy, If you're looking for hearty meals, great value, and family-style comfort, this place definitely delivers. read more

This I Love Country Cafe doesn't disappoint every time I go to this location at the NEX Mall Food Court. All of the employees that took my orders and helped me out are helpful and friendly. The food is very delicious and the portion size is very big. The pricing for each plate is very reasonable as well. All plates are made fresh to order. I enjoying ordering their Roast Pork Kawali and the Macadamia Nut Fish. The ambiance of this location is clean, not cluttered at the cash register, and the menu is easy to read as well. read more

This location of I Love Country Cafe is located at the Navy exchange food court which is open to the public. This location has been here for over ten years and I had thought this place had gone downhill when they reopened after the covid closure and I haven't come back in a couple of years until today. Today's turkey cobb salad was really good and highly recommended. The amount of turkey was generous and the salad was so large i split it into 2 meals. It comes with a hot freshly grilled piece of garlic bread. The speciality here is their mango dressing! The mango dressing is a little spicy but it's really good and i highly recommend! You can chose between ranch. italian, or mango dressing. The one odd thing is that usually cobb salad comes with bleu cheese, but they gave me cheddar cheese (which i actually prefer), the menu just says it comes with cheese but doesn't specify what kind, so you may want to ask when you order. They have an array of hot local specials, breakfast, and daily menu items. Their mango, banana, and other breads on the counter looked really good. I forgot to check out the dessert display on the side and I must try their dessert next time. I have found one of my new favorite lunch items here, the turkey cobb salad with mango dressing! I plan to try some other hot dishes in my next visit as well. read more

Ordered the brisket plate with white rice and veggies. Pro: HUGE portions! Cons: Brisket was overcooked and dry. I asked for more BBQ to go and they said they charge extra for extra BBQ sauce. No thank you!! Won't be coming here again. read more

I Love Country Cafe - Beef brisket...it was okay. A little over cooked and dry. Big portions though. - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have yet to try the main entrees which look good but are a bit pricey for a food court. What I am writing about is the CHEESECAKE. Omg I would drive across town just for a bite it was so good! I have no idea if they make it, buy it, if it's fresh or frozen, but the ube cheesecake is the best ube cheesecake I've EVER HAD. The ube flavor is very clear but also the cheesecake comes through. It's a nice, rich NY style cheesecake with a delicious graham crust. The other one we tried which I would ALSO drive here for is the brownie cheesecake. The brownie was nice and moist, very chocolatey and pairs extremely well with the cheesecake. The price is not too bad; when I went it was $6.95/slice which is half of Cheesecake Factory and theirs comes frozen! Can't wait to try the other flavors! read more

I thought I posted a story for this place already. But, incase I didn't, let me tell you, their stuffed chicken is to DIE FOR! It's so delicious and yummy it's NOT FUNNY! I totally recommend you to go in and try it! The plate was not only full but it had the most tastiest veggies and it was super hot and freshly made. Price is worth the buy, just be sure you have someone to share it with cause it's pretty huge. read more

Glad I read the reviews, because the Portabella Mushroom Lasagna was delicious! Very tasty well seasoned sauce, presentation very nice. That the salad was served separately was appreciated. Garlic toast good. Great job. I enjoyed it so much I told my coworker and he tried it the next day and liked it, too. Highly recommend. read more

stopped by I Love Country Cafe recently and had a decent experience overall. I ordered a burger, which had great flavor and was pretty satisfying, though it was just a little undercooked for my taste. The fries could have used a bit more seasoning, but they were still enjoyable. The real standout was the staff--everyone was super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit feel warm and comfortable. While the food was solid, the prices felt a bit high for what you get. That said, it's a cozy little spot with a lot of charm. I'd be open to giving it another try! read more

Located in the food court at the NEX. I ordered the loco moco and to be honest it is one of the best on the island! Portion sizes are giant! 2 large homemade hamburger patty's, grilled mushrooms and onions and so much gravy. It's enough to feed two grown adults. It fed me and my two kids and the absolutely devoured it. Everything is made to order so if you are short on time or want greasy fast food then go somewhere else. It is worth the 6-10 minutes wait if you ask me. They also have a large display of delicious cheesecakes. Go check them out! read more

Decided to pick up some dinner & was hungry for their kiawe steak salad. Been awhile since I've had this salad - pre-covid, but I remembered how much I loved it. Their menu is still pretty extensive even though they've cut it back some. To my disappointment, they no longer carried the kiawe steak salad but had a brisket salad($18.99) which was more pricier than the kiawe steak salad. I was on the fence about ordering it. I like brisket but there are very few places here that make it good without overcooking/burnt, or dried out. I decided to take a chance. I also ordered a seafood ramen for my hubby ($14.99). Customer service at this location is good. I had a gentleman that took my order & answered my questions. They cook everything to order here so expect to wait a few minutes. The food court itself wasn't busy since it was about 2'ish, after the lunch rush. My order soon came up & they pack your order in a clear plastic liner (aka small waste basket liner) at no extra charge. After getting my order out when I got home, what I saw were 3 huge pieces of brisket uncut. Almost thought I didn't get a salad. Lifted the meat, found the salad, which was more than half wilted by the hot brisket, WTF? There were lettuce greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded cheese, & the avocado I paid $1.79 extra for. It wasn't much, about 1/4 cup. Did not enjoy this salad at all, & definitely was not worth what I paid for. They could have at least sliced/chopped the meat into bite-sized pieces. The brisket had lots of fat, pretty chewy because it was dry, & burnt edges. It for sure would have been given to my dog, if I still had one. Because there was so much fat, it made the salad more greasy/oily, adding to the soggy lettuce. My hubby thought the seafood ramen was meh. They use the thicker udon noodles. I should have asked them to place the broth in a separate container because by the time I got home, the thick noodles had absorbed most of the broth - my bad. Since I always have broth at home, heated some up to add to the soup. They do give a decent amount of shrimp & the fish used was a white fish. There were also other soup garnishes included. Overall, it'll be awhile before I come back. Their food has always been so-so except for the kiawe steak salad - bring it back! The item my hubby likes is their fried saimin. Not the best, but it is tasty. read more

I love country cafe is located in the food court at the Navy Exchange Pearl Harbor Mall. I'm not much for food court food but this place honestly makes it 5 stars for a food court food :-) The food portions are good and the prices are decent. Personally the food is really good to me. I had the portabello mushroom lasagna and I have been back twice to get it because it is so good. Service with a piece of garlic bread and fresh side salad....it's really good. My friend had the bacon burger and really liked it. He said it is just like a homemade burger. He tried hamburger steak covered with brown gravy and he said it was REALLY delicious. He mentioned he tired the loco moco on another occasion and that was really delicious. You don't need military ID to eat in the food court....we highly recommend this restaurant and go enjoy the outdoor seating if you are in the area looking for a bite to eat. Thank you Evangeline for always taking care of us :-) read more

Super speedy, and easy to grab lunch or dinner here. Lots of options and while it's not the absolute best food, it is a decent value with how much food you get. I had the chicken adobo with rice and a side salad and it was pretty standard. Nothing fancy, nothing wild, but exactly what you would expect. Nothing exceptional about the service nor the quality but again, easy. Tons of seating in that area so no worries about eating, but also you can take out as well. read more

Located inside the NEX. I was recommended here while checking into the NGIS, and they did not disappoint! It's in the food court, and jet lagged me was so happy! The staff was extremely friendly as I didn't know what to order. Each bite took my breath away and was full of flavor. I was so full and it looked like I barely touched the food! I recommended it to all my junior sailors as they arrived after me and they've only had good things to say read more

Hubby, daughter and myself came here for lunch. Located inside the naval base in the food court. The only negative was there was limited tables to sit at. Luckily, I snagged a table before this guy took it. I sat at the table while hubby ordered my drink and food. He got me a large lilikoi drink and for my entree, he got me a pastrami sandwich with fries. The sandwich was filled with plenty of pastrami meat along with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. The bread was of Texas toast which was grilled with butter. Oh my goodness. The fries were soft but melts in your mouth. Such a wonderful combination of flavors. To wash it down, I had the lilikoi drink which was ice cold and great with my meal. I was happy with what hubby got me. He knows me so well. I would come back to try other items on their menu but this was a great meal. So worth it! read more

Its a couple of tablespoons not a whole cup. So I'm not into traditional breakfast meals. Except in Oregon, I know you read those reviews. It's been awhile since I had Singapore noodles so I decided to get some vice the Won Ton Min. Speaking of which, I need to find a good Dim Sum place here. Suggestion anyone? Anyway the wait time wasn't too bad and my plate was heavy at pickup. You get a pretty decent amount of food for the $15 price. Too bad I threw away maybe $14 worth. First all you could smell was the curry. Now I love curry with coconut milk and I even love it with my top ramen but here it was way too powering. Second the curry soaked up all the liquid so it was dry. Dry like in TG McDonald's has unlimited soda and coffee refills. Overall one star this round. I don't like wasting food but this was a total lost. Now excuse me, McDonald's is in the same food court. M read more

Evangeline was the person who took my order. She was really mean and rude. I was super nice and asked for a corned beef hash eggs Benedict. She said in an annoyed tone "NO WE DONT HAVE THAT" I'm like okay that's fine I'll do a regular Benedict with extra Hollandaise then she said "EXTRA CHARGE" In a loud voice. I said no problem that's it's fine. I'll also get a bottle water. I'm waiting for my food and she's answering phone calls saying no we aren't open yet. BUT ITS 11:30AM? and you took my order? Sooooo you ARE open? Whoever owns this booth better get someone else to work the front. People are walking away because she's RUDE and has a mean face. Super bad for business. She only likes talking to the other Asian workers who work at the NEX. Okay about the eggs Benedict. Let's get into it The potato's were HOT, CRISPY, & SEASONED SO WELL. I absolutely loved those. With the fresh bell peppers and onions. I got an extra side of sauce to dip the potatoes in lol. The eggs were not runny at all. BUUTTT it did taste good! Definitely needs more sauce cause it's a thin Hollandaise. Ham was honey ham. The English muffin was good with the sauce. 6.5/10 I wanna try the corned beef hash one next. IF ITS AVAILABLE read more

I think I just got the wrong item! It wasn't that it was bad either but the price blew me away for what I got. A Turkey, Avocado sandwich on wheat with a pickle and a carrot cost me $15.

I was kinda disappointed and would never order this item again. read more

The omelette gave off a bit of water in the container, but at least it wasn't super oily. The potatoes were a bit hard and it seemed like they just shook the pepper in a clump. The food here isn't BAD and will satisfy a variety of cravings you may have. It's a bit "fast foody" though and you will be paying over $10 for it. read more

Located in the Navy Exchange (NEX) food court, I Love Country has a local/comfort food based menu with breakfast all day long! They offer everything from eggplant lasagna to adobo fried rice, wraps and waffles. You don't have to be military to eat at the food court and the food court itself has a large variety of choices if you're in the area. My favorite dish here is the Lechon Kawali (roasted Filipino pork)! The lechon is very crispy and not oily or greasy at all. It is served with sliced raw onions and chopped tomatoes with a vinegar dipping sauce. It comes over garlic fried rice too! I also love their seasoned French fries. They are always made to order and come out super crispy with lots of flavor. Yum! read more

This is for the catering side if the business. Obviously, we love the food here. This was the one place that made my hubby love fish! Anyhow, we had a last minute event we needed food for. These guys answered right away and we were able to order 4 platters of food. Pickup: picking up the platters was easy. We went in, gave our name and they were ready. The hardest part was finding parking in the crowded parking lot. Food: everyone LOVED the food! People raved about the pasta, fish and the pork. We had nothing leftover. That's got to tell you it's good. Overall, working with them made it easy. I am really glad they were able to cater our event last minute. The food was great, service was great. read more

Located at the food court at NEX Pearl Harbor, this location is extremely busy - but the good thing is food always comes out freshly made! My friend was craving the Lechon Kiwale from I love country cafe so we made the drive out here. I ordered the Lasagne & my friend ordered the lechon kiwale. The lasagne was good, the sauce was more on the tangy side which I don't really care for but other than that it was good & cooked perfectly - I don't like when my lasagne pasta is hard or over cooked. The Lechon was actually really good, not too oily & although it didn't have the strong Filipino taste it was very tasty. I'll defiantly be coming back! read more

Wife and I went here to eat breakfast at 10:00 am. Restaurant wasn't open, but talked to a lady who works there and asked what time they open, she said 11:00. What kind of a place offers breakfast, but doesn't open until 11:00? Why even offer breakfast? Very disappointing! How do expect to stay in business? That's ok, my wife and I went somewhere else.

Awful. I ordered the stroganoff. The meat can only be described as the scrap meat you cut off of your roasts, ribs, tenderloins, and shoulders before cooking it. Nothing but fat and gristle. I've tried a few other dishes of theirs that were also not good. I won't try anything else. read more

Had the combo French toast. I think it wasn't too bad but not how it's suppose to be made.

The protein peanut butter shake ok. Not a whole lot of flavor. Too light. I wished my French toast was a bit more sweet with cinnamon and moist read more

I've heard people talk about this place being good, so on a recent visit to the NEX food court, I thought I'd give it a try. There are a variety of foods to enjoy from burgers/sandwiches, wraps, pastas, plate lunches, and salads. Breakfast is served all day. They also offer different kinds of drinks such as Orange Bang, Thai Milk Tea, bubble drinks (with tapioca balls), and smoothies. I was drawn to this place because of the seafood club sandwich that I saw in a picture on their menu. I noticed that it wasn't only on the menu, so I inquired about whether I could get a 'small' like all the other types of club sandwiches that they offered. She said that they didn't offer a 'small version, so I opted out because there was no way I was going to finish a regular on my own. I then decided on getting the stir-fry tofu. This at least had the option of getting a small or a regular. The small plate came with two scoops of rice and the stir-fry tofu. They offer brown rice, which I was glad to hear. Overall, this place is good. Nothing to rave about, but just simple food. It seems a little over priced for the quality of the food, though. It's a good place to go if you want a healthier option from the abundance of fast food type of eateries in the food court. read more

Again, I'm shocked at the low rating. Wifey and I had to hit the NEX and commissary to fill our apartment, and we broke down and had to get food because we were starving. After eating out so much, we needed something simple like a burger and fries. I ordered the teri burger, and it was freaking delicious. Okay, so the fries were average, but the quality of the beef tasted better than fast food, easily. I was also impressed with the size of the menu. For a food-court establishment, the place was pretty big, and I had a feeling that they took pride in their work. They had to because the food took a little while to come out. Hawaiian time? I don't know, but the food was Hawaiian good. I have no reason to give this place a lower rating at this time. Side note, I've very curious about the bento spot in the food court, too. Better than Sushiman? We'll see... read more

I've been on my lazy spree for the past couple of days so I've been on take out or delivery mode. Last night, I tried using the delivery feature here on Yelp which is powered by GrubHub and one of the restaurants that offers delivery to my area is I Love Country Cafe. I was quite happy since the delivery arrived on the time that was promised (around 45 minutes-ish). The prices for their selections starts from $10 and up. The serving portions were abundant. His and hers was Turkey Roast and Adobo Fried Rice. We both had enough leftovers for lunch the following day. The Adobo Fried rice had shredded pork and some small potato chunks which added to the flavor. The rice was a bit dry in my opinion. Good go to when you like fast grindz! read more

Elated and rest assured to have fresh, made to order pork adobo fried rice because I waited ten minutes. Prompt and courteous customer service. No hassles when I kindly asked for a small cup to fill water. Meal portion seemed decent to feed two people. Perfect scrambled egg based on size, texture and taste. My son ate almost all of scrambled eggs and feasted on fried rice, pork and onions. I finished the rest of my meal in contentment. Four stars for some chopped onions rather than diced onions. More of a preference especially when I chow down fried rice. I'm pleased that the chef cooked onions properly. Two thumbs up. read more

So my wife and I got done early with her early morning doctor's appointments at Tripler one Monday morning and we were deciding where to go for breakfast. We were going to the NEX and then the commissary that morning so we initially thought about eating breakfast at the Koa Pancake House by the NEX until my wife suggested we try the place at the NEX Food Court. We have seen I Love Country Cafe numerous times while we ate food from other vendors at the food court, but neither of us have tried their food before. I wasn't even aware they served breakfast or that they have various Filipino cuisine as part of their menu items. So there we were, perusing a fairly extensive menu...and the chicken adobo fried rice caught my eye. Having moved away from home over 25 years ago and lived in various countries and exposed to a multitude of cultures, my family is amazed that I only eat rice maybe once or twice a week...and of course never for breakfast! So it was indeed out of character that I tried their adobo fried rice for breakfast...while my wife tried their veggie omelet. I really don't know what to expect. Of course I've had chicken adobo before (heck I even cook a yummy version if I do say so myself) and I have eaten fried rice...but never chicken adobo fried rice. Boy...was I depriving myself of some yumminess and not even knowing it! Come to think of it, maybe chicken adobo fried rice is a Hawaiian thing and not really a Filipino thing. Their portions are huge! It felt like no matter how much I ate, the pile of chicken adobo fried rice remained quite substantial. I had to take the leftovers with me for lunch later on. My wife also thought her portions were huge, with flavorful and freshly sautéed veggies...and the breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy outside while remaining tender inside. While the food was decent, their coffee and the accoutrements weren't anything to write home about. For food court fare though, this place wasn't bad...probably 3.5 stars. read more
