A mushroom and Swiss burger is in my top three of burgers and the one at Earl's is one of the reason's why. It's messy, but oh so flavorful. The paper bag that they serve it in is much appreciated else I'd be wearing half of it in my slobbering hunger to stuff it in my face. The orange bang they have on tap and the frozen custard complement with just the right things to bring me back to my childhood. Great service, convenient location, and delicious food!

We made a visit to Jolene's Hawaii in Ewa Beach n' I ordered a Buttah Lobster Roll + Waffle Fries with Creamy Sauce n' Birria Wontons + Consomme. I gotta say aside from the chunky garlic buttah n' meaty lobstah, the Asian style pickled veggies in the roll, give the crunchy texture n' next level flavor that is deliciously out of control!" SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: small, table seating can get filled up quickly, nice decor, the best is they have a sink to easily wash your hands EXTERIOR: in the same plaza as Ross, has picnic style tables on the side of restaurant + one right in front WAIT TIME: 15 mins between placing order n' receiving food PARKING: large free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: my go-to is their buttah lobster roll, which always hits the spot. Everything about it is delicious. I make it a combo n' either get the corn chowder or waffle fries, which are both great complimenting sides. The birria wontons are crispy n' make a nice appetizer or side to any meal. Especially with the consommé, full of flavor with a mild heat. Jolene's always has lots of good food n' drinks to choose from!

I placed and paid for an online pickup order to be ready as soon as the store opened because I was…read morehoping to get in and out quickly. I arrived right when they opened, I was actually first to arrive there and waited near the pickup counter. When I asked about my order, I was told to step out of line and wait for my name to be called. While I waited, about four customers came in after me, placed their orders in person, and received their food before mine. After waiting around 20 minutes, I checked again and it didn't even look like my order had been started yet. My order wasn't anything complicated it was just a standard menu item. When I first arrived, there were several employees behind the counter and I was the first customer there, so I was confused why my prepaid online order, which should have been first in line, wasn't being prepared. Ordering ahead ended up taking much longer than if I had just ordered in person, which was really disappointing. Also sandwich bread was chewy and hard to eat, almost felt stale. Store was very clean. Just not sure if I would try this place again though.

Family got some snacks & I finally got the palaka print reusable bags. I asked a nice employee if they had any of the cooler bags and he said they were out. I know they go fast when it's in stock but it didn't hurt to ask. The store itself is very clean and the produce section is nicely spaced out so carts can easily go by. The fruit and vegetables looked pretty fresh. I did not get a chance to venture over to the deli/hot food section but I know I will on my next visit to a Foodland Farms.. The cashier was nice and friendly with much aloha. I had not used my Maika'i card in a long time & wasn't sure if I was still in the system, but she found me! Overall, nice experience .

I like going in to order because then my order is never wrong, and when i ask for extra there is definitely going to be extra sauce in my sandwich. also because when you go in its better because there is more of a drink selection. this location however does not participate in a lot of the in app promotions like their BOGO deals, so i always have to order from the app and pickup from a different location. I did an order via door dash and they got me and my husbands order completely wrong like all the veggies and sauces were in mine and his were all the sauces and veggies i wanted in my sandwich. how could you get an order completely wrong? anyways i do prefer going in to this location because that way your order won't be wrong.

Underrated local dinner spot…read more The entry to this restaurant is so easy to miss because it's so narrow and it blends in so well with everything. I don't know if they want to keep it hidden, but I guess you could consider it that. We went in on a Saturday night with reservations and I highly recommend it since the place was full when we went in and more people kept wanting to come and eat. Service was great from beginning to end, I especially love that everyone accommodated my stroller and my baby. There were four of us and we each got something different, but to start I highly suggest the steamed shrimp and pork wontons and the lechon style Brussels - I would've double-ordered those for my entree if I could have! For entrees we ordered the garlic noodles, misoyaki butterfish, seared catch-of-the-day, and the burger. They were all amazing, and after we all started letting each other try we started making our own "flights" because everything just hit different spots and flavor profiles. In summary, this is one of those places that doesn't care about aesthetics, the decor is casual, but the food is soooo ono. They focus all their energy on food and service, and that makes a winner winner chicken dinner in my book.

Haven't been back in many years (again). Went to takeout the popular honey garlic chicken. It was…read morereally sweet and had no garlic flavor. If you like sweet style, then you'll like it but if you're expecting more garlicky style then look elsewhere. The prices were reasonable and portion size was huge- good enough for 2 meals. Older gentleman on counter had thick accent but understandable. He gave me a small container of Mac salad separately. Great because it doesn't get all warm from the hot rice and chicken. Mac salad was decent tasting. Not sure if they have jello anymore that they used to give out because when asked him about any desserts he said "no" but I don't know if there was a language barrier or misunderstanding. Anyways, a mixed bag. Food was 3 stars but I think the reasonable prices and huge portion size pushed it to 4 stars.

What annoys me about places like this is when they are so dead and seem to need business, yet they don't see it as important to ANSWER THE PHONE! We called multiple times on different occasions and never ONCE got thru. When I went in to order, I asked the lady working if they changed their number. She said the phone number hasn't changed and insisted that she "always" answers the phone, yet when I walked in, she was sitting in the dining room rolling gaugee. After mentioning that I just called and didn't get thru, she then tells me, "oh ya, I heard it ringing in the back." --- uhh. Okay?.. So, to me, that means you don't always pick up the phone. She didn't seem pleased with my inquiry. No, "thank you" or anything after I paid and even after I grabbed my food that was ready. No eye contact. Nada. Allllllrighty then!... lol Onto the food... With zero bias after receiving that interaction, I can honestly say that I didn't miss out on anything all those other times they didn't answer their phone. The food was waaaaay too sweet for my liking, and umm.. the beef stew? It was made with sliced beef type of cut, rather than chunks. Quite odd, but all-in-all, the "beef stew" is a hard PASS for me. Aside from the different cut of beef, my plate tasted like there was a full tbsp or 2 of sugar in it. Very bizarre if what you're hoping to taste is a traditional, or even, local style BEEF STEW. The honey garlic chicken was tasteless beyond the oily sugar coating. Portion and price for the mix plate was great, but damn... everything else fell short and 90% of it was trashed. I hate wasting food and I especially hate wasting money! :(
