    I have been craving Belgian waffles for a while now. Came here for the waffle combo and it didn't disappoint. Thw waffle was exactly what I wanted.

    Side order of cornbread waffles

    Great place for breakfast and brunch. Food is great and portions are generous. You order your food and they'll bring it to you. Service was good too. I asked for a side order of the cornbread waffles. They charged for a whole chicken plate w/cornbread waffles. They corrected my order and gave me a refund, no questions asked. Place is casual and semi-cozy. It's like being at your grandparents kitchen. Ordered crab cake Benedict, cornbread waffle, and veggie omelet smothered in hollandaise sauce. This was so good that I didn't get to take a picture of it. If you like gravy and savory foods, this is a good choice.

    Today I got to try the Mexican Omelette with a Coffee and it was very tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

    I just went last week Thursday January 29, 2026 in the morning I had the waffle combo with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon it was so delicious the waffle so soft n crunchy in the right places the eggs fluffy plentiful and the bacon just perfect tasting. I had a coffee too which was great tasting n hot. The service is always awesome so friendly and helpful. The ambience is so chill too I'll be back soon.

    One of the best breakfast places I ever ate at. Food was delicious and service was fast! Ordered through the QRS code on the table. Waited 10mins for our order and everything was perfect. Loved their strawberries and cream waffle and French toast!

    Breakfast spot... Thanks to Nadine who made this a gathering place as they have lots of tables in the back making it an easy spot to gather up the gang and with lots of free parking and you pay first at the counter makes it an easy place for many to enjoy. From Pancakes and Waffles to French toast and Benies they have all the local faves like loco moco and yes plate lunches here, they open nice and early from 6:30am so I decided to grab some breakfast and it was the Breakfast Bento on their specials as it has all the yummies with Portuguese sausage, spam and sausage with scrambled eggs and a scoop of rice it was a fast and easy fix for this morning rush time before I head for work. The staff is nice and friendly getting my order in inefficiently though it's card only here no cash but with this lovely vibe here you're sure to have a great start to your day. Thank you!

    We decided to try this place for breakfast and it was an amazing experience! From the delicious food to the great staff this place was fantastic. We ordered the country breakfast which came with biscuits and gravy, eggs, and sausage, and the chicken and waffles, plus a side of fried rice. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was so savory which paired well with the buttermilk biscuits, then adding in the over easy eggs and sausage made it that much better; a true classic. The chicken and waffles came with two giant pieces of chicken thighs fried placed on a crispy waffle. The chicken it self had a crispy outer layer and a juicy inside, mixing in a bite of the crispy waffle and sweet syrup gives this plate a super satisfying taste. The fried rice was great and went well with everything we ordered. The staff was super nice and answered any questions we had about the menu, the food came out really quick, they took our plates after we finished eating, and always checked on us to see if we needed anything else! I love cafe/diner style restaurants and pancake and waffles fits the bill, it's so cozy and clean inside and gives you that nostalgic feeling of eating in a small town diner. They also serve lunch and dinner so we will definitely be back to try it. Please come and check it out for yourself and see why it's worth five stars!

    Scottish style bangers (not the real deal but tasty)

    It was so good we didn't come back for 5 years based on my last review date lol! We wound up here because we tried to go to Guieb (line down the street at 9am), Koa pancake house (another crowd outside) so we came here because I don't care how good the food is, waiting in line ain't worth my time! We got right in. They now have a QR code on your table you can order and pay on OR you can order and pay at the counter. Plenty of parking. Nice staff. Clean. Decent grub. Not much to complain about except I think it's a bit overpriced for the quality and ambience. I'm just not a breakfast person. Their waffles are fluffy and soft, no crisp to them. Like a pancake who identifies as a waffle if that makes sense. I like how you can customize everything (the ordering app makes it easy to see all the options and added prices). Beware that it all adds up fast tho! My chorizo Benedict was pretty good. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo tasted like spicy curried meat crumbles, which surprised me. The hollandaise sauce was watery and bland. It was surprisingly spicy! Hash browns were perfectly cooked! Their honey fried chicken was juicy and crispy and piping hot. $5.45 for 1 single piece seems excessive tho. Overall it's a solid choice if you want a big breakfast without a hassle!

    ham and cheese pancakes
    Rallen C.

    Pancakes was delicious even tho I was expecting more ham and cheese in the pancakes. the omelet was also good they did not shy from putting spam inside. where we lost 2 stars is there is no service. u seat down order thru QR code they deliver the food. if u want water u have to get it yourself. then the ask u for a 15-25% tip. Maybe I'm old fashion but I like when a person comes and takes your order. The place is clean the staff behind the counter seem nice. No bathroom they are outside. Will I eat hear again? Yes

    Good breakfast food with free convenient parking in the same complex as Young's Fish Market. A nice mix of American and Local breakfast fare including loco Moco and kalbi, they are known for their Chicken and waffles. The chicken was tasty with crispy skin. Waffles were good but I would have preferred them to be a little more crispy. I was told I could have ordered them extra crispy after the fact. My aunty got the bacon waffle which was good. Portions were sizable. It was perfect for grabbing breakfast on the way to the airport.

    Korean chicken bento
    Todd M.

    Don't sleep on their bentos. This isn't just a breakfast place. I got the Korean chicken bento...it did not disappoint. The chicken was tasty and reminded me of Aiea Bowling Alley's original tasty chicken. So good!

    Open nice & early . Open floor plan. Order & have a seat. Wasn't crazy about the sauce but waffle good and golden , chicken was crispy and decent . Service was great . I would visit again

    2pc Honey Butter Chicken & Waffles
    Lloyd W.

    Something different for lunch. Chicken and waffle. It is a clean and quiet place for lunch. Service is a walk up counter where you can order to eat in or to go. You can also seat at the table and scan the QR code to order and pay your meal. Ordered the honey chicken and waffle. Came with one waffle and two large crunchy deep fried chicken thighs with a drizzle of honey The waffle was crunchy golden brown and little chewy. Chicken was nice and also golden brown and crunchy. You could have ordered it with gravy instead of the honey drizzle. Pros: The food is hot golden brown and crunchy. Chicken moist and cooked well. Con: I tried eating the chicken by it self. With out the gravy or the honey drizzle. Eating the chicken alone. After eating all the crunchy skin off. The chicken is kinda plain. I add some salt. Would I go back? I always try to go back to give a second review on places I was unhappy with the food.

The food is so good and tender, portions are big and definitely worth the price. I love thet they open 24hrs. I do wish they improve the customer service. Also the waiting is long.

    Little overdue of a review but here we go lol…read more. Diners has been a staple for my family & I , and I'm sure many other families on island for YEARS. Our family's go to was always Cheeseburger and yellow sauce with fries! As time and society evolved , so did Diners, since they became "Upscale" and added more things to their menu. I have tried their Grilled lobster plate more than once from their Upscale menu in the past and I think during that time it was $15? Not sure if it's still that price, but for that price it was a winner! Lobster + salad and rice ? What more can you ask for since that's basically a steal in today's economy. Anyway , I was in the area recently and decided on diners for dinner. I was really craving ahi katsu, unfortunately my go to spot was already closed since I decided on dinner a little after 8pm ish? So I thought .. well diners has ahi katsu supposedly .. why not give it a try. I wasn't expecting much since it was Diner's BUT needless to say.. their ahi katsu is DELICIOUS. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection! I love the sauce they drizzle on the katsu. I should've asked for extra sauce on the side had I known it was gonna be yummy! But that's something to keep note of on my next visit in the future. I definitely would order this plate again! And continue to adventure out on their menu lol. A tip to keep in mind : they do have signs posted by their windows to be patient when ordering because they do take a bit to make and give you your order since they are always short staffed. And there's normally alot of people waiting or ordering since lots come to this establishment right after work or in between work or just simply there for a bite to grab. So prepare to wait .. but sometimes you can be lucky where it doesn't take as long. It does truly depend on time and the day I guess. Also one last thing, my personal opinion , I think Diners is worth grabbing food from. Whether you're hungry , in the area or wanting to grind. Some people have mixed reviews or bad experiences but me personally , I always had a good outcome. Oh also before I forget their steak is delicious too (LOL) , never ordered it for myself but I shared some of it with one of my relatives who ordered their steak before. Give this place a shot!

The wait actually wasn't that bad, maybe 15 minutes. It is a typically diner, counter seatings only. The service wasn't great, but not rude; they take your order and they bring you the food; no pleasantries or small talk, I guess they need to turn the tables (counter seats) quickly. We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well. Oh, don't forget to visit the bakery side after; they have many super yummy baked goodies!

I remember Colin used to be the "kitchen mama" in one of the local bars Colin opened Side Street Inn on Hopaka Street, then a small (and I mean SMALL) little local bar with delicious local style foods Colin expanded the Hopaka street location but it was not enough.... Then Colin opens the Kapahulu location .... Then receives an award for great chef Then expanded further the Hopaka location and all the while.... His original fried rice and pork chops remain top of the list Yes, the menu has expanded, and the flavors remained very "local" Yes, it is pricey as today, there is no food dish that price is less than $20. This is a family style dining restaurant. For example. The original fried rice $26 feeds six people. Go figure! I won't beat this thing to death and will end it by saying Colin will always be missed, his food remains still same and tasty as he had designed it to be. Staff friendly as ever. Price? I've always been a believer that you get what you pay for and then some. Side street Inn is the epitome of you get what you pay for and then some Go there or be square
