Literally we ate everything on our plates with that in mind, we almost ate up our plate as well. The customer service was fantastic. Excellent plus they cater to our needs and then also some dietary restrictions that were easily adjusted. I ended up ordering the beautiful pulled pork nachos, which were fantastic made with an excellent brilliant taste and cheese sauce, which they make on site themselves and also utilizes it in the macaroni and cheese. I was more than pleased with this restaurant. Highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again when we visit the 808. The environment gives classic barbecue restaurant lots of good art on the wall lots of good high-quality vibes thank you guys so much and really appreciate what you're doing.

Hawaii has beautiful weather all year round so we opted for outdoor seating this time. We ordered the Mushroom Swiss and the Blue cheese bacon burgers alongside truffle and garlic fries. Wow, did this hit the spot. They use locally sourced grass-fed beef and the freshest ingredients. Cooked to perfection and the fries were both tasty, but I did prefer the truffle fries to the garlic fries. Pair it with a couple of beers (which they have) nd you're all set!

I especially love the sweet potato waffle fries, that are now offered on the HH menu. The candied pork belly and fish and chips are two of my new favorites. They also just added a new item, Sweet and sour spare ribs, much like what you'd get at your favorite Chinese restaurant. I ordered it as a take-out, and it was provided in two separate containers; one with the rice and pickled veggies and the other holding the spare ribs with a ton of sauce. There actually was too much sauce, and I suggested that they reduce the amount so it doesn't overwhelm the overall dish. The flavor is really good, and what you'd expect of you crave that sweet, tangy flavor. Another new favorite for my list.

There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and a lot of people are there with their clubs before or after golfing. It's a very relaxed environment. You can order on a QR code menu or with a server, and the food comes out pretty quick. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot.

But when my niece was out here, she stopped by and said the food was really good. They also had live music. So when I found myself heading home from my parents, I stopped here to eat cause I was starving! I entered and it was a little busy so it took a while for the friendly server to come give me a seat, and she apologized. The menu is pretty extensive with a lot to choose from. I decided on the Hapa Loco Moco, a corned beef patty and a hamburger patty. I also asked to sub the kim chee fried rice, which is extra. I also ordered a side of mac salad, which was good, but different. But the Hapa is really good! Rich gravy over it all. I do wish there was more corned beef than potatoes in the patty, but it was good. I do recommend getting the kim chee fried rice because it's AMAAAAAAAAAAZINGLY delicious! So full of flavor! The service was great! Lots of locals coming in as I was getting to leave. Great place to come to! Mahalo Cafe Kalawe!!!

We ordered the avocado pasta with Florentine and short rib, and it was heavenly. Easily one of the best flavor combinations I've had in a long time. Honestly, 6 out of 5. The portions are massive too, one plate can comfortably feed two people. We also tried the shrimp and the brisket. Both were very good, but the short rib dish completely stole the show. Everything was packed well and ready to go. My only suggestion would be to include more napkins and upgrade the utensils a bit to better match the quality of the food. The cheesecake, unfortunately, left a lot to be desired. Given how incredible the mains were, I had high expectations, but it didn't deliver. 2 out of 5. I'd skip dessert next time. Millie at the front was incredibly courteous and handled the constant stream of incoming orders calmly and professionally. There's no seating area, so plan for takeout and enjoy it somewhere calm by the beach for the best experience. Also, definitely order ahead by phone if you can. Wait times can easily reach 30-40 minutes depending on the time of day. Definitely a hidden gem, and I would absolutely come back again for the short ribs.

It was a…read morelittle overwhelming because they had so many options to choose from but they do have suggested popular specials or just a make your own plate. Decided to try their moringa pasta with the lemon cream sauce and added some chicken for protein. I thought it was a bit much for $30 but given the hefty plate, this was easily 3 meals for me--well worth it in my opinion. The pasta was a bit over cooked but I really enjoyed the lemon cream sauce. A generous amount of chicken as well. Couldn't leave without getting some dessert, so got a calamansi lime cheesecake and the lychee cheesecake. I wish there was a stronger calamansi flavor to the cheesecake but the lychee one was delicious! Service was quick, you order what you want and they call you when your order is ready, if you want to explore around the area/wait in your car. I waited no more than 10-15 mins. There's no seating inside, so this is a grab and go type of place. Next time, I'll be sure to just call in the order and maybe request for the sauce on the side so my noodles aren't mushy.

It has so much chicken (3 layers of katsu) and it seemed like the only difference between the mini and regular is one scoop of rice and the regular comes in a bigger plate! Overall, great value for money. Can be super full with the mini plate.

Long before it became H&T Burgers, I remember this spot as an Orange Julius back in the mall's early days so it's pretty special to see how it's evolved while still holding onto its charm. The space itself is small and casual, with just about five tables inside, but we lucked out and grabbed a seat right away. What really stood out from the start was the service. Sallie at the register was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the #1 Teri Burger combo, and it absolutely delivered. The teri patty was generously smothered in that sweet, savory teriyaki sauce, layered with fresh lettuce, tomato, and mayo all tucked into a soft bun. I upgraded to the teri fries (only $0.50 more, totally worth it), and we even added another teri burger on the side because...why not? The best part? That first bite tasted exactly how I remembered it. Juicy, flavorful, and unapologetically messy (in the best way possible). You know it's a good burger when you don't even try to keep it neat. It's the kind of meal you just dive into and enjoy without overthinking. H&T Burgers isn't trying to be trendy or over-the-top & and that's exactly why it works. It's consistent, satisfying, and full of that comforting, local-style flavor that keeps you coming back. Safe to say, it won't be years before my next visit again.

Service was good, from what she told us, and the place was nice and clean. Ambiance, check. For the food, it was just ok. Teri burgers were a little too salty, even for Teri burgers, and the sauce was a thicker style. Flavor was ok and mayo was a bit too heavy. Fries were a little soggy but remember, we did take out and it was 30+ minutes before we ate so completely understandable. That's on us. Overall, it was just ok. Price and taste. Probably won't come back here, definitely not unless we are there and ate there. If not, there are a lot of just as good or better options closer to home.

I felt like having fish so debated between the grilled mahi or a daily special of grilled ahi. Since it was a special I decided to get the ahi. I didn't know it was going to have a garlic and green onion topping on top. I like garlic so no problem for me. It came with 2 good sized portions of ahi, two scoops of rice, and mac salad. For the price ($14.99) I thought it was a good deal. Service was efficient and there is a good amount of tables inside. I would like to try other dishes to see if they do well with other types of food. We also ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl. I did not taste any but it looked good and included broccoli which is an upgrade over just having mac salad.
