This place is outstanding. I can't say enough about Moke's. We stopped here on a whim for breakfast before going to a nearby beach and we were SO excited to have found it. The lilikoi pancakes were divine, and the rabbit loco moco was absolutely fantastic! We were wishing we discovered it sooner! Great food, great service, great location/atmosphere. You should definitely give it a try. read more

This place is the bomb. Great combo of excellent food and a local vibe. I usually don't get sweet things for breakfast, but tried the pancakes with lilikoi sauce, which is sweet yet tart and citrusy and I hereby devote my life to it. Hubby had chili loco moco , really delicious. read more

Really good pancakes! So delicious and their Moke Nui omelette was so good! The loco moco was also super good! Really good vibes and loved our waiter! read more

Literally the BEST lilikoi pancakes! They're so fluffy and light my boyfriend and I can come and order our own plate of food and share a short stack. The service is always wonderful and the food is on point. I also highly recommend their Kualoa moco. Their gravy is superb and not overly salty. I am not disappointed every time I come here read more

SOOO Yummy! Great service! Like being in grandmas kitchen! Outdoor bathroom though - Food is worth it!!

Thank you boots and kimos for distracting people from coming to mokes because this is hands down the best breakfast place on the eastside

Today was the first time I'd eaten here and I'd have to say the food was great. I ordered the homestyle breakfast. sausage, eggs, hash, toast. Not very adventurous but the food was excellent and the service was good. There was no rush to eat and leave. it was a god way to spend a lazy sunday morning in Kailua. read more

We came in a group of six. Every person had something different and found it the best place we ate on the island. SOMEONE must order the rabbit moco if they have it. It was a clear winner. The loco moco was very tasty and the service was great. Parkings rough and they don't set your table up unless everyone is present, even though the rest of our party was a block away parking the car. That's why a four and not a five... read more

If you don't mind a wait then definitely try this place. The food is amazing. I always loved their home made corned beef and hash. The staff is always friendly and the food is made quickly. Definitely a great place to go to occasionally. read more

Once upon a time this place was really good, not so true anymore. The Loco Moké was salty and chewy, and the Honey Butter Biscuits were tough. It no longer a definate must it's a don't bother. read more

We brought friends who were visiting from Chicago for a leisurely midweek breakfast. We only had to wait a minute or two while they set up a table for us. The service was excellent (thanks Anthony!), the coffee abundant, and the food delicious! We'll take all of our guests there in the future! read more

We've been in Kailua for a little over a year now and are pretty good at trying new things. Today was Moke's Bread and Breakfast. I would love to say i am going to leave a great review, but that would not be honest. For months we have passed by and seen lines out the door and people waiting in the streets. We thought, this must be the place so we waited. Not too bad for a weekend, only about 30-minutes. The food was OK, but nothing short of Denny's. The portions were medium, the hash browns were greasy, but the coffee was good. The surprise as to why was to come. My wife and son enjoyed their meal, but again nothing to write home about. The final step was the bill. One eggs benedict, one plate of pancakes, an omelette and three cups of coffee. (Drum roll ) $48.00 and some change. WTH??? The surprise was the coffee $2 for regular and $3.50 for top shelf. Can you guess which one she gave us? Needless to say, we can mark it off our bucket list, never to return. I usually say, try it for yourself, but that would be leading you to a pit that would suck the retirement right out of you only to receive Denny's or Zippy's. Ok, Zippy's was a bit harsh, but i hope you get my point! read more

I like their egg's benedict and their liliko'i pancakes...Get there early before the crowd.

To there signature dish is the loco moke its totally different from the loco moco the loco moke has a rib steak instead of the hamburger patty I always get the loco moke with fried rice got my coworkers from Goodyear to try it now that's what they order when we have breakfast there and the other dishes are really good as well it's all homemade. read more

Great breakfast place! The staff is super friendly and nice. There usually is a wait but it seems to always go pretty quickly. They have good pancakes! read more

One of our island favorites. We always order the reuben sandwich and split it. It's always fresh and so ono! Save room for some lilikoi pancakes for dessert. Note: you can order just one pancake (instead of two which is listed on the menu). Always friendly service. read more

AMAZING breakfast and fantastic coffee! There will be a wait but worth every moment!

When my boyfriend texted his suggestion of Moke's Bread & Breakfast, I texted back my question about whether a bed and breakfast is open to non-guests. Whoops. BREAD and breakfast not BED and breakfast. What?!? Confusion cleared up. Moke's is my new favorite breakfast place so close to home! We went for breakfast mid-morning in the middle of the week. There was a bit of a wait, a very tolerable one - hate to see what it looks like during the peak times though. Debating between the butter biscuit and the muffin of the day, we went for the muffin, which was freshly baked (or at least warmed), moist, soft, and delicious. Seeing the positive reviews for the lilikoi pancakes, we went for a short stack, which we actually didn't finish though it was simply short, sweet, and scrumptious. The highlight of our breakfast was the stuffed hash browns veggie-omelet style; instead of eggs for the omelet, hash browns! Amazing! Prices are fairly reasonable for breakfast in Hawaii. We'll be back! Will definitely get the stuffed hash browns again! read more

See all

Bit of a wait due to lots of tourists, but worth it for excellent service, good coffee, and great food.

Not local size plates. Bacon omelette had a very little bacon....you Don't get much for your money don't go hungry

Best fried rice. Family owned and operated and family friendly. Everything's good! There may be a wait so plan around busy times.

this hole in the wall breakfast place in kailua is known only to a few!!! I have driven by this place a million times but never really noticed it. its prices are very affordable and the portions are HUGE!!! the service was outstanding!! loved the outside seating! we were seated right away, and our coffee and water cups were never empty!!! it was like magic!!! all of their omelets are fantastic even the veggie omelet!!! their hash-brown is the healthiest hash-brown i have ever had in my life!!! also their bread is homemade and one of a kind!!! cant wait to go back again and again and again!!!! ALOOOOOHA!!!!! read more

Unfortunately this was my second visit to Moke's and it did not go well from the second we sat down, our waitress Lydia didn't acknowledge my son and I until she helped a hometown celebrity (Kanoe) that was seated after us. By the time Lydia had offered us a cup of coffee the Kanoe and her husband had papaya and coffee served to them. Lydia continued to walk by our table without taking our order or even making eye contact for about 20 minutes. By the time Lydia came to take our order the only thing she said was "thank you for waiting". I already knew what I wanted to eat and placed my order and she asked what kind of toast I wanted and gave me 3 choices, I wasn't sure I heard her correctly so I asked if she could repeat it and she did win a huff and major attitude in her voice speaking like she was talking to a 1st grader. My son even looked up at me and couldn't believe his ears. Of course Kanoe and her husband got their breakfast well before we did, this just made things more frustrating as other staff would stop by their table to say hi and give them hugs and stop to talk story. The food was very tasty and "Farm Fresh" as they advertised, but I can say we will NOT be going back for a 3rd visit. read more

Woke up this morning hungry as hungry can be so the wife suggested we eat out. Head to town and accidentally land here at Moke's talk about a blessing. Relaxed ambient courteous staff and the food ain't bad either perfect start to the weekend. The lilikoi pancakes are nice and soft on your pallet perfect way to close out a nice brunch ! Highly recommend it for anyone in the area. read more

The food is very good! The restaurant decor and ambiance is so so but your there to eat after all. The meals are large and savory. Would go again. read more

ONO!service is excellent! Food A-1! Gets very crowded so you know it's GOOD! We sat outside and it is nice and warm. Inside was a little loud but still comfortable. read more

rib eye loco moco! thats the only reason you need!

Party of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids . Our waitress was very pleasant . She's very helpful and accommodating . We went there for breakfast today and the food was ono ! I highly recommend this place . read more

Food was great. We had the banana pancakes and the stuffed hash brown omelet which was delicious. Our only complaint is the server was very presumptuous in assuming the remainder of the $25 I gave her to pay for my $19 tab would be her tip. She did not bother trying to give me back my change and "disappeared". I would have gladly given this server a nice tip if she gave me back by change in the first place, but her behavior ruined the positive and don't think we will be back. read more

Everything was spectacular! The Lilikoi pancake was light and fluffy with a delicious topping. The chili omelet was very hearty and tasty. My friend had the chili loco moco and ate every bite. The wait was a little long on a Saturday morning but will definitely be returning! read more

Overall a 3.5 until i try more food. I suggested this place when me and my friends just finished hiking and we were hungry. I always wanted to check this place out since i've already tried the other near by breakfast hot spots; boots & kimos and cinnamons. Knowing that those places would be crowded in the early morning, we decided to come over hear an enjoy a nice sit down breakfast. The menu is simple and not as extensive as the other 2 spots. I wasn't really craving anything savory so I went with their short stack pancakes for $4.75 while my friends got the portuguese sausage, eggs, hash browns and toast breakfast for $8+. My pancakes were good, sweet and fluffy. The only gripe was that a part of the edge of the pancakes were undercooked so when I cut into there was still some batter oozing out. My friends looked like they enjoyed their breakfasts and were surprised at hot big it was, for $8+ though I think it was a good sized portion. The waiter was okay, just came by to bring out food and refill our waters. Overall, i'd like to come back for their lunch items and to give their honey butter biscuit a try. read more

My husband took me here to meet family & friends for another birthday surprise and a belated mother's day get together . We were a party of 15 for breakfast/brunch.Yes the wait is long for us but hey our goal was to eat there. We came here specifically for their infamous lilikoi pancakes and their loco moco that could probably put you to sleep in no time. That's a good thing now. I had the corned beef hash and it's by far the best I've had compared to any other places here. It wasn't overcooked, burned or bland. It had very good texture, not too salty and perfect, the size maybe on the smaller side so if you're a big eater you may want to order two. Everything here is like going to someone's house or patio and you get home cooked meals. Its casual or beachwear so if this place was by the beach near the shore then it's going to sell out in two hours! I strongly recommend to try this place, especially if you're visiting & you're near Kailua. Weekends is so pack so expect to wait. If you're an early riser try to come early to beat the crowd. I get grumpy when I'm hungry so if you're like me, plan on coming earlier and maybe come with your significant other. read more

My husband an I love this place! The food is great and consistent. The staff is friendly and always nice. The staff also seems to like their work which says something about the owner. You might have to wait a little bit but it is worth it! read more

Good local spot, covered outdoor seating available or you can get an inside table. Nice breakfast variety beyond just the standard fare. food was fresh, portions adequate, good service. read more

It's decent...little better than diner quality food!

This is breakfast in Hawaii as we remember it when we lived here. The portions are big, quality excellent, and the coffee is, well... superb. Staff was a cut above and genuine. As they say in the islands it was ono. read more

Moke's what can I say. Every time I am there the service is welcoming and has the aloha spirit. When I walk in its always welcome back and how's the family. So nice to see. Now getting to the food the hash brown omelets are amazing. Homemade bread and of course my fav pog. Everyone must come here when u come to Kailua. read more

Incredible breakfast place that's a little hole in the wall. If you're driving from the western side of the island for the Honolulu area, get a beautiful drive on H3 through the Misty Mountains. Lilikoi pancakes and Portuguese sausage were phenomenal!!! read more

Don't understand the rave about this place. The food is average, the wait is long and service is ok. Some of their dishes are out of the ordinary and creative but most of the food is the typical breakfast kind: omelets, egg,bacon, hash, pancake. read more

Unfortunately they have gone downhill. Used to love this place, went back and was under welmed for sure.
