Tried the honey butter chicken & waffles, loco moco and churro waffles on our way to the airport. My older son found this place and we couldn't be more delighted that this was our last meal in O'ahu. My personal favorite was the honey butter chicken and waffles. That chicken was so well marinated and fried to perfection. I saw a news story on the wall that the owner had worked at Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles. We've been to Roscoe's and this place's chicken was much better. The skin was perfectly crisp and the honey butter sauce was only slightly sweet which added a bit of flavor but did not overwhelm you with sweetness. My kids ate up the chicken meat and I was happy to enjoy the crisp chicken skin by itself. My wife also really enjoyed the waffles and found them to be quite flavorful, again preferring them over what you would get at Roscoe's. The gravy on the loco moco was fantastic and perfectly paired with the rice. My son ordered the churro waffles and was happy with his selection. For me, though, I dream of that crisp chicken skin. Oh me oh my read more

Food is good and if you're looking for consistency, this is a good place to go. However, the service is terrible. I've been there three times, and every single time, the same cashier, has been very unfriendly/unpleasant. During my most recent visit, they didn't provide my mom and I utensils - which is fine, things happen. So I went up to the cashier and asked "Sorry, may I have utensils please?" Then he responded with "Excuse me?!" Like I bothered him.....then his coworker responded on behalf of him and said "she needs utensils (turns to me) sorry bout that." I am all about being understanding but if they're not welcoming/seems bothered/unfriendly every.single.time, then I would prefer to take my business somewhere else. It's a bummer because their food is good consistent. read more

Transparency is the word this experience makes me think of. They should have a warning on the menu somewhere that their crab cake Benedict is made with a crab AND lobster seafood blend. My other half is allergic to lobster and we didn't find out until we had to call this place and they confirmed it over the phone because she was constantly throwing up and feeling sicker by the hour. I want to like the food but I'm also apprehensive about a place that doesn't disclose on their menus what an item may contain. Thank goodness my partner is ok now. read more

Quick, Yummy, Comfort Food At It's Best! This time around, i ordered the Vinha D'alhos & Eggs... The Pork is marinated in vinegar and gives the pork a nice tangy taste to it... i also ordered the fried rice, as well. That hot the spot, too! The Banana Pancakes are really good with the chucks of banana throughout the pancake. Come on by and bring your plastic money. no cash accepted. read more

Great food. They are consistent. This is one of the few places on island that Ive visited and ate at more than once. The steak chimichurri competes against any high end steakhouse that serves that type of sauce. The P&W omelette was delicious. read more

Only one star for being fast to come...Food was not seasoned at all. No taste whatsoever smh

I've tried to come to this breakfast spot a few times and it's always been super busy on the holidays. Well, I finally got a chance to try it on a weekday and it was the perfect time to go. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles. Waffles were light and tasty. Fried chicken was crisp with a nice crunch. Good flavor as you bite to it. I found it a little pricey. Overall a good place to check out when you're in the area. read more

Many options to choose from but never upsets to have this for breakfast! Whether it is an early meal or late in the day meal. This place is legit! It has a fast food vibe to it as in, order at the front and wait for your meal at a table. Now i wish they had some sort of system going of who will be charge of the dining area because it was a bit overwhelming when we had to clean up a table not knowing if it was taken or not. Other than that this place is legit read more

I have been going to this place for many years. Today I had a delicious plate lunch. The 3 stars is because a cockroach crawled nearby. I brushed it off then saw dead cockroaches between the chairs. I took pics to show you. The food is wonderful, the menu has a wide variety of choices and has ample parking. read more

Stopped in for comfort food after the big rains this weekend. Happy they were open. Cashier here is always friendly. Hubby often gets the short rib stew so I decided to get it, too. Note: This is a cashless establishment so be sure to bring a card. You go up to the cashier to order, pay, sit down, and they bring your order to tour table. If you don't purchase a drink, cold water that you pour yourself into small paper cups is available. Our food was served quickly since no one else was in the restaurant. (We were early, just after 5pm). The stew is served in a bowl on a plate that has your rice and salad. You can get white or brown rice, mac, potato, or green salad. They give you both a fork and a spoon because you'll want to scoop up the delicious gravy. P&W's white rice is a little dry (IMO) so dipping it into the gravy works really well. The short ribs are fork tender, you don't need a knife. Not sure if they are always boneless but today's were and they were 3/4" thick ribs, not the thinner Kalbi type. You get a decent amount of meat, along with two or three perfectly cooked potato pieces and carrot slices (not mushy), and bits of celery. All are good. Mac salad was ok. If you eat all the mac and two scoops rice with the stew it's good sized meal. The stew is 4.5 stars. Rice and mac 3.5. I hardly eat beef stew at restaurants, but will make an exception when it's made with short ribs! read more

Great brunch spot with generous portions and friendly vibes! We came to Pancake & Waffle for brunch around 10am on a Sunday. The area has plenty of parking, tucked between several venues, which made arrival stress-free. The restaurant was packed and the line to order was long, but surprisingly efficient. We didn't wait long to place our order. We got the full stack blueberry pancakes ($13.95) and the fried rice special with bacon ($13.25). The pancakes were massive, fluffy, and full of flavor, definitely shareable unless you're really hungry. The fried rice was a standout: savory, well-seasoned, and satisfying enough to be a full meal on its own. The bacon and scrambled eggs were a great bonus. The space was clean and casual. You seat yourself, and the staff works hard to keep tables cleared so guests can settle in while waiting for food. After ordering, you're given a number and the food is brought out to your table. Overall, great food, great experience, and easy parking. read more

Pretty good food! Large potions. Just not the best customer service. They could be nicer and welcoming. Service was fast and got good in a timely manner. It was $88 for 5 people to eat. read more

Honestly, very disappointing. I've been to the Denny's in Waikiki, and I've had breakfast there before. That place was also very bad -- but this was somehow even worse. The food was overpriced and poorly presented, and it came out almost instantly, which made it feel like it had been sitting there already. The quality was extremely poor. The bacon was cold, with barely any butter on it. The toast was sloppily plated and honestly tasted like leftover bread that had been toasted multiple times. The coffee was served in a plain paper cup and tasted like it had been kept on a warmer for hours. This was $4.50 per cup. My husband ordered the mini breakfast plate, and I ordered the French toast plate. With two coffees, the total came to $47 and tax with a 20% tip, it was about $59 for breakfast for 2 adults. For that price, we expected basic freshness and care. Instead, it felt like we were being served leftovers. Very disappointing overall. read more

This was my second visit, and once again, they did not disappoint! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always pleasant to talk to. The restaurant has such a cozy, family-friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. The only downside is that the space is quite small, so if you don't come early, you'll likely have to wait a bit for a table -- but honestly, it's worth it. The pancakes are light and fluffy, the syrup is rich and delicious, and the over-easy eggs are cooked to perfection. And whatever you do, don't forget to order the fried chicken -- the portions are huge, the meat is juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. Pretty much their whole menu offers a great variety, and a lot of their dishes are downright DELISH! From sweet breakfast classics to savory comfort favorites, there's something for everyone. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. You can truly taste the care they put into their food and service. This spot has easily become one of my go-to favorites -- perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch with family and friends. So if you're visiting Oahu like I am, take a cruise to this restaurant for great, local meals. read more

Pancakes and Waffles BLD is located in the Waimalu Shopping Plaza. Tons of parking. As we walked towards the establishment i noticed it wasn't to busy. 3 people. I thought that was odd. As we walked in the restaurant the ambiance was great! Colors was bright and spacious. My wife ordered for us the cashier was very friendly and helpful. This was breakfast time and I got the bacon, eggs and fried rice. Wifey got Portuguese sausage, eggs and fried rice. It looked very yummy. But sadly my food was ok. My wife thought the fried rice was ono and the sausage was good. But her eggs was eh. I wasn't thrilled about the fried rice, my scrambled eggs had no taste and my bacon didn't have taste either. Idk i wasn't happy and I love breakfast. Bottom line would I come back? Maybe not. I would rather try somewhere else first. read more

Just came from eating my Birthday Brunch a little while ago because i wanted pancakes & waffles for my birthday. meal. so they were super busy today i don't know if it's always super busy or if it's because it's a holiday. so it's a good thing i ordered pancakes and waffles because they forgot my waffle!! i really wanted it because i saw how good it looked as it came out to other customers. so my mom had to complain twice before they might give a refund in my days for the waffle. my mom said the lady she spoke to was nice about it but what i really wanted my waffle! that's why i chose this place to eat breakfast for my birthday!!!! read more

Place is super 'ono! Stopped by yesterday for the first time around 11:45ish, I guess we missed the morning rush (and came earlier enough to beat the lunch rush). HUGE menu, breakfast and lunch items. You order first then grab a seat and they'll come to your table. I got a crab cake eggs benny, side of fries, and a strawberries and cream waffle. Everything was so dang good and they don't chip you on the portions!! The only thing I would change is the egg on my eggs benny (it was overcooked) but I didn't mind, they loaded me up with hollandaise sauce. Waffle was so delicious, I didn't need any syrup! This place is good, but also kind of pricey. For my 3 items it was $40.99 without tip. I'd definitely recommend bringing your out of town family here!! Oh also, the staff is awesome so friendly!! read more

First, I want to start with it was my fault for ordering 15 min before closing time at 7:45pm. That was only time I had and needed to order food for late dinner time. Ordered two loco moco plates. Total 35$. Second, I discovered the food tasted with grill cleaning chemicals when I took it home. Maybe due the cleaning crew started their cleaning process right after I ordered my food. Third, remind myself to not order there after 7pm to be good for both parties. read more

Food was fair. Shocked when I had a the choice of meat. I selected Portuguese sausage and they gave me 2 small pieces that came with my fried rice and 2 fried eggs for $13.25. And a side of bacon came to about $1.25 a strip. You order at the counter. They give you a number and bring to your table. The place is the ambiance of a diner table and chairs no booths. And it's clean. This is a place I visit twice a year. But try it out, you be the judge. For breakfast with my daughter and 6 year old granddaughter was $58.47 which I felt was a bit expensive for what we got vs portion size. But you be the judge when you take a look at the pictures. read more

My son and I went to this neighborhood breakfast place. No line on a Friday morning. Weekends are usually super busy. The selection is amazing. I went for one of the specials: Spare Rib Beef stew. I opted for the fried rice and the green salad. Yes. This was for breakfast. My son got their loaded potato omelet. It was an omelet with bacon, sour cream, cheese, and potatoes. That was pretty good. Never thought of putting a baked potato between egg, but it worked. I had a bite and sour cream with eggs is a yes. He also ordered the strawberry milk with actual strawberry puree in the drink. That was good too. We were both quite full and took home a portion of our meal. How it works - you order at the counter, card only, grab a table number, grab seats, wait for your food to be delivered. They took our dishes away. But you can take it up yourself. Oh, and because there's really no unlimited coffee, some folks go to the Starbucks next door to grab their caffeine fix. read more

Worst breakfast ever. I always order for my mother crepes or waffles. I ordered 4 eggs with ham steak. They ask you how you want the ham steak done. I said SOFT. What I got was well done bordering on burnt. Also a side order of portugese sausage also SOFT. Again it had black edges. I think I'll just stay with the waffle and crepe for my mother and never order anything for my self. read more

I ordered the Chicken Jook. I ordered delivery via UBER Eats. The Jook was still hot! The Jook is very tasty. I wish the portion was larger, or that they'd offer a larger size. Another thing is the shred the chicken too well. The first time I ate it I thought it was hair! I pulled it out of my mouth. I had to order it again because it tastes great, and I'm not reelibg well. This time the THINNLY shredded chicken got stuck to the back of my mouth/throat! Oh I wish they'd put pieces of chicken instead of shreds. Yikes! read more

We waited nearly 45 minutes for our takeout and watch 3 people walk out before us with BIGGER orders than us that ordered AFTER us. The staff doesn't care and when I complained, the staff just smirked when she thought I wasn't looking. NEVER coming back here. What shit service and my waffle was cold by the time I got it. What a joke. This place doesn't give a shit about their customers or giving good service or food. read more

Was OK! I ordered the same waffle the banana and chocolate chip that I did in KalihiKalihi. It wasn't the same. The one from here was mostly just chocolate chip no banana taste at all. Was still good tho. Service is fast and friendly, but the ambience of the place is just loud. read more

Food was super tasty, especially the buttermilk pancakes. They were super delicious, and way better than I can make at home. The roast pork loco moco was good, except they use ready made gravy... the gravy is super salty and clearly not homemade. The meat though, was really tender and yummy. The crepe was delicious as well. Though everything tasted good, this place is EXPENSIVE for breakfast food. The crepe was $13 which I think is a robbery for what you get and with no fresh fruit or anything in it. read more

First, the lady taking our order was not very friendly. Looks like she's having a bad day. She brought our order out to us and place it on the table and mumbled you're welcome after we'd thank her for our order. I ordered chicken and waffles. The meal came out in under four minutes. The chicken looked old and was not that hot at all. The Waffles were microwaved. They were soft, not crispy like they should after they come off of the waffle iron. Coming from out of state, this was the worse place I've eaten in Hawaii. I do not recommend this place. read more

Placed on Online order to pick up for the dinner. And when finished the order, it says pick up the next day morning at 7am. Went to the restaurant to ask the server to help about this order. and she said she couldn't do anything because she hasn't received the order from online? I told her to cancel my order since I can't come to pick up at that time. She said she couldn't do anything about it?! Definitely won't go back again. Their service is Horrible. read more

First. The United States Constitution is clear you must accept all United States legal tender to do business. Does it matter what the state constitution says it may not circumvent the United States constitution if you go into any store, they must accept cash credit card debit card and debit card debit card has some restrictions as we all know, but you cannot be denied because you want to use cash.. Also, their meals are getting smaller and they're getting more expensive. I ordered an omelette that had sour cream in it. I opened the omelette and you do was barely any sour cream so I asked for just a little bit more instead of just giving me a little bit more like the amount of two ketchup packets. The lady tells this young kid to ring me up two dollars for a tiny little bit of sour cream from a $24 omelette, including a tip of five dollars. I don't think that was fair. I think you're probably better off going to the pancake house in Aiea I'm on Moanalua. Upstairs from Starbucks they have better pancakes too and better Crepes.. I never seen this lady work here before but I'm never coming back here again and I'm a regular I used to bring my family 78 people at the club every month and once a week my son and I would come in for bacon and eggs not anymore. I suggest you go elsewhere. Fire that mizer! Cheap read more

Full & busy crowd on a Saturday morning around 10am. A few open seats, employees hustling around wiping tables. Not too loud, able to hear yourself still think. If eating in, they'll give you a number card to place at your table so the employees know who to bring the food to. The TO GO line was full as patrons waited for their orders. They offer free drinking water with small cups, help yourself. Eggs Benedict were pretty fool proof, potatoes tasty. Chocolate chip pancakes were tasty. Chicken sandwich didn't have the expected flavor with the spicy sauce. Not saying that's on the restaurant, I may need to manage my expectations better. Extensive menu! read more

First time here-would I come back? Probably not. Friendly employees but, I ordered the fried chicken & waffle- the 2 fried chicken thighs was the toughest, driest, darkest, REFRIED chicken ever! It was blatantly leftover chicken from day before, and because we were there for breakfast at 8AM, we were served refried chicken. I gave it 3 stars on account of the good waffle. I wish this new visit for us turned out better. read more
