Joe's Grill Express - Joes omelette, waffles, biscuits, and garlic chicken plate all for $20 - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great customer service by the nice lady that was doing both cashier and packing orders. She handled the crowd with grace. It was busy which was expected on Father's day. They aren't normally open but did open half day. I ordered the pork adobo omelette with fried rice, denver omelette and ube french toast. Adobo omelette was okay being adobo wrapped with egg. If it was cut in smaller pieces and had other veggies in it, it could have made it. I liked the fried rice better that it came with. Ube french toast was yummy with the ube drizzle on top. I'll be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Joe's Grill Express - Big Breakfast Plate. Menu states 2 types of meat & 3 eggs. you can clearly see that it's only 2 eggs, with 2 pcs bacon and 4 Vienna sausage. - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We tried this place this morning & we're glad we found it. We ordered the macadamia nut / haupia pancakes & a breakfast burrito. We added Portuguese sausage, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, & hash browns to it. Food came quick. This spot is super small. Only fits about 20 customers comfortably. Definitely would come back read more

Joe's Grill Express - Cheeseburger & Fries - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Joe's Grill Express is the best plate lunch spot near the airport hands down. Ton's of awesome food, served with aloha, at a price we can all still afford. Joe's is of a dying breed, it's so hard to find a great plate lunch under $10 anymore. This spot is one of the exceptions. I've tried quite a bit of their menu and I recommend : sweet chili chicken katsu, hamburger steak, chicken cutlet, teri pork, and their pork adobo. It's not much more money for a mixed plate, so that's a great way to try more items. They also have specials all the time that are pretty good as well. Another rare quality for a tiny hole in the wall place is the great customer service. You are always greeted with a smile and helped quickly. They always answer the phone for take out orders, and it's always ready by the time you get there. No matter how busy they are, and they get packed. Overall, tons of parking, great cheap food keeps us coming back to Joe's Grill. read more

Joe's Grill Express - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was my first time eating at this restaurant. Upon walking in, it was not what I had expected, nice and quaint. Love the menu board, so many variety of choices. It took a while to decide because I wanted to try them all!!! I ended up with the steak and eggs. I was not at all disappointed by the food I ordered. The steak was juice and tender. A Loco Moco was also ordered and it was very delicious. The staff was friendly, the inside of the restaurant was clean and the coffee really hit the spot that morning. I would definitely go back! Next time you're on Nimitz Highway and you have a hunger to tame, stop by Joe's Grill Express!!! read more

I was in search for cheap eats & found Joes Grill Express. Went around 2:30pm thinking there would be no crowd. Totally wrong there. It was busy with customers still going in & out even after the lunch rush. Overehelmed by the menu but I knew what I wanted after looking through the food pics. A lot of selection to choose from & breakfast is served all day. The roast pork with gravy is what caught my eye. So tender, just falls apart. Glad I tried it. I want more. We also ordered the daily special of fried noodles/fried chicken plate & the Joes Loco Moco. Loco moco came with fried rice, corned beef hash, eggs (your way), bacon & gravy (which I can just eat over rice). There's something about their gravy that hit our taste buds. Heading back soon to taste more of their menu. Breakfast anyone? read more

Excellent small little place super close to the HNL airport. We ordered Special Loco Moco, two sides of fried chicken and a side of fries. The fried chicken was so good, we got another. This is for 2 of us. Must visit/convenient if you're around the airport area. read more

When the company I work for talks about "customer service", I do not hesitate to use Joe's grill staff as prime example of just that. "Family style" dining is a true representation of how they treat their customers. I always look forward to picking up my "usual" - joe moco, sub corned beef hash for fried chicken and a can of coke or my ultimate favorite- roast pork and gravy (soooo tender), their gravy is spectacular, thick and full of flavor and the chicken is crispy and cooked perfectly. I love that they all welcome you in (by name if you're a regular) and just "talk story". read more

Came here for the first time on tuesday, loved it. I had the pork adobo, super tender!! Came back for breakfast today friday and had their famous Joe Moco, broke the mouth! Us local people are not to hard to satisfy when it comes to food. Good tasty food, good portions, good menu variety and most of all, good price! I wasn't surprise to see how busy they get. Good idea to plan for take out, not too much sitting tables. Great customer service! read more

Joe's Grill Express - Joe Moco Special was not a let down! - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The Loco moco is a must!!! Right when you land in the airport, grab your rental car, and drive a few minutes to this golden gem. Small place but pretty fast service. Get your loco moco and enjoy. This is the place to go. This is where the locals go, I think? Lol. If I lived there, I'd go here. read more

Great customer definitely 5 stars.. Food so much selection to choose from. It's getting really busy during prime time for breakfast and lunch so you might need to wait I would suggest calling in your order. Steak and eggs is always a great choice and they do have brown rice available too Also free coffee while your waiting for your food. Lots of parking and a few tables inside to eat it. There is also a tv there. read more

Awesome food and service. Cashier even double checked the order for our team of 8 guys.

OMG this place is awesome great service great food and cheap eats to da Max If you ever on Nimitz Highways stop in and eat. Across form Chens Gourmet Buffet, which I wouldn't recommend read more

This place is a gem. A family owned and run eatery, that's close to the airport. They open at 5:30 am and close at 6 PM. They serve breakfast all day! Free coffee in the AM. If you don't want to wait, call in your order. Plenty of parking. Their prices just went up a couple of weeks ago, but still the best prices and food around. Always with a smile. My co-workers always ask if what I am eating was from Joe's. If you want something different than what's listed, just ask. If it's possible(like combos) they will probably do it. Relatively small seating area, but most of the customers accommodate. You can tell that they are popular with the local working crowd by the look of the customers. read more

Outstanding chicken katsu!!!! Very friendly staff. Definitely will be back again. Thanks for filling my tummy :) read more

Just around the corner from the Alamo rental by HNL. They serve up big portions of hawaiian food at reasonable prices . There are a few tables inside of you want to dine in but it seems like most people just get their food to go. Their chicken special was good. read more

I have been meaning to try them for the longest time and finally had the chance to. I was in the area and the timing was perfect. The Breakfast crowd had departed making it a little easier. Parking was much better instead of the pre-7:30 AM when locals are lining up for the food. I scanned their board and wish I had 3 stomachs. I wound up selecting the Roast Pork (regular, not Chinese style) and fried rice, eggs over easy. The plate came with nice pieces of roast pork w/gravy, a huge bed of fried rice and egss perfectly done. Whites are cooked but the yolks were still oozing out nicely. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and dare I say down right cheap. I'm definitely coming back here... PS. I can't believe I ate the whole plate by myself. I didn't need lunch :) read more

Joe's Grill Express - Menu prices as of March 2018 - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is a great little spot to try, inbound or outbound from the airport. Many of the local folks come here for breakfast. We had their burgers and their loco moco's, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and consistency. It was very hard for us to find genuinely good food at a reasonable price in Hawaii, but this spot saved the day, since we were on a budget. Unfortunately it closes early so you have to get here for breakfast or lunch! This is where you typically get Comfort diner food, nothing crazy or fancy. read more

I miss Joe's Grill! I used to sell cars with JN Automotive and this was my go-to breakfast spot. My favorite plate lunch/breakfast was the steak omelette with steak fried rice. Soooo ono. Where else are you gonna find that? I'll see you folks three weeks from now after I arrive at HNL, have my nap and then make the drive to your spot read more

Atmosphere: Its a small, quiet shop, located in a little place close to the airport. Appears to be family owned and operated. It doesnt have many tables (2 bigger ones, 3 smaller ones and a couple barstools). Lots of foot traffic for to-go orders and it was constantly busy (good sign!). I did notice one baby high chair, which was nice because not a lot of small places have these so thats a plus. It was very warm in there. So much that we couldnt wait to finish up and get to the AC in the car. Maybe just a fluke though. Service: This wasnt a server type of restaurant but the cashiers were VERY nice, had lots of smiles and very accommodating. When one left the building, she walked by our table to smile and say hello. They even have a "happy board" so you can write nice aloha messages and post them on the board. I love this idea so much! Food: The food was great! We ordered the chicken katsu with spicy chili sauce on the side, ube French toast and pork adobo. My husband thought he wouodnt like the adobo because it was very fatty but he loved it and said he would definitely order again. The ube French toast was freaking DELICIOUS! My husband doesnt care for sweets but this one is the perfect amount and he enjoyed it a lot and a huge hit with my 5 year old. It does NOT need syrup. The katsu is well, katsu. It always tastes the same but I know I like it. It wasnt what I came for though (reason listed in pro/cons) Pro/Con: The pros is that its delicious amd their cook was spot on! Not to mention they have like 3 billion different food options! I dont know how they keep up with that many but they were fast. The cons was that we drove really far to check it out (it was a suggestion by yelp and the reviews were awesome and pictures made me hungry) and they were out of several things. First, I noticed the soda machine was out of order. No biggie since I dont drink soda. I wanted to order kalbi and they were out. Then I wanted katsu with mac salad.. They were out of mac salad. Maybe I just had bad luck today but it was a little disappointing because i had sited through photos for 30 minutes to choose my food before we arrived (im a visual person and need to see photos before I order) so I had my mind set on kalbi and mac salad, only to find them out of both. Anyway, id still try it again and hopefully have better luck next time. We will definitely come back. read more

I'm a sucker for a good ole hearty loco moco and Joe's is definitely in my top ten. Add to the fact it's close to where I live, open during early morning hours, and ample parking, we have a winner here. Seriously, when you're here, just pig out. Order 3 items for just yourself. The breakfast items are amazing to go with your loco moco. Although they have a popular special moco that's made from corned beef hash instead of hamburger, I still go for the regular loco moco. That's hard to say because I LOVE corned beef hash. Shared parking with other restaurants nearby but if you are here in the early morning, you most likely have little competition. read more

This place was great! We came for breakfast right after getting in from the airport. Ordered the Joe's Special Moco and it was fantastic. Great price, around $7.50. The hamburger was super extremely flavorful. The two ladies serving at the counter had outstanding hospitality, thanking us for our wait (which was only about 5-10 minutes) and offering to get us whatever we needed. Overall, this place is a gem! read more

We have eaten here several times now. We came here in the first place cause our favorite food traveling YouTuber came here in a video. I have loved every meal that I've gotten so far. It was the French toast that pushed me over the edge to write a review. This French toast has purple swirls and a purple sauce on top and it is the best French toast I have had in years. I will only brush over the service since it is so good that you will just have to experience it for yourself. They also have free perfect coffee. read more

Such a solid place to get breakfast around the airport. My partner and I got the eggs, rice and spam plate along with the locomoco. The portions are huge and I think we only paid about $12 total. Definitely the cheapest meal of our trip. We were hoping to return before going back home but ran out of town. read more
