    Furikake Fish - brown rice and veggies at the bottom
    Raenae G.

    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.

    Love the aunties that work there. Always so friendly. The food is always amazing. Any time I'm craving lechon I take the drive across the island to come here. Delicious. Busy area but worth it.

    Staff were friendly. It First time trying this plate and it was BOMB!!! The keawe smoked brisket which came with veggie medley and mashed potatoes. The plate was packed and so worth $20! Something I'd order again most def! Taste buds was all over the place in a good way!!! Everything was delicious and paired so well.

    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.

    Beef brisket...it was okay. A little over cooked and dry. Big portions though.
    Rannie S.

    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.

    Thank you COUNTRY CAFE

    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.

    Yummy Portobello Mushroom Lasagna.
    Kalama E.

    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.

    Loco moco with a scrambled egg
    Tessa R.

    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!

    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.

    Portabello mushroom lasagna
    Lisa G.

    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 :-)

    Fettuccine Alfredo w/ shrimp, comes w/ garlic bread & tossed salad
    Lauren Faith R.

    Really good, plate was full & heavy also wish we could choose our own dressing for the salad though. Fettuccine Alfredo comes w/ garlic bread & tossed salad. You can get it w/ chicken or shrimp for an additional cost, I got mine with shrimp.

    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

It was about 10 and not much to choose from this late in the eve. Looked on Yelp and found a five-star spot that closed at midnight. A unicorn perhaps, or just paid social media BSers hyping up basura? And it was within walking distance. Let's go find out. MOSA is like in a backstreet off of the main Kalakaua drag. It's like a little hut with some outdoor seating out front. Simple menu that offers eight different flavors that you order in a cup or a crepe. Wanted something not too messy and just portable enough to eat from while walking back, so I got the cup. Got two scoops of ube and Kona coffe sprinkled with crushed mac nuts. DELICIOUS. Loved the texture...very creamy, almost chewy. Lovely textures. Flavors were on point, too. It's on the pricier side for ice cream, though, but I think it's worth it for what you're getting. Great stuff!

The Kona coffee ice cream was incredibly smooth, rich, and creamy with a slightly stretchy texture that I really enjoyed. The roasted peanut sprinkles added a delicious crunch and subtle nutty flavor that complemented the ice cream perfectly. The service was also very friendly and quick! Overall, I really enjoyed it and would happily come back. While it didn't quite reach "must-have" status for me, it was still a delicious treat that's worth trying.

I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it.
