    It's a super convenient location. I was excited to try a local sandwich shop. The bread was good however you were using the lowest quality of deli meat and charging $13-$14 for a sandwich is crazy. I wouldn't mind paying for a premium grade deli meat. I got the number 11. Which consist of two pieces of turkey and two pieces of ham. And then you had the audacity to charge me for pickles on my sandwich, and only gave me four! One sandwich, two bags of chips, $23 and change $13 $14 for bread mayonnaise cheese and deli meat I wouldn't feed my dog is super disappointing.

    Great local vibes here! Big Kahuna Grinder ROCKS da Mouth with a Man-which that satisfies! Especially when you "Jack it up" with all the extras that complete da meat in between the soft chewy fresh baked bread that completes this super sandwich! The team behind da counter works in sync to create each Grinder to order! Great Five Star Grinds! Timmy T's The Terrific Taste!

    Hardly any meat

    I love Timmy T's. We usually go to the Kailua location since we live on the Windward side however we were in kaimuki and made a stop at the kapahulu location where parking is plentiful. Timmy T is clean, specious and great friendly service but very disappointed that my sub sandwich had only 1 layer of ham. Really? And very little lettuce. I'm not sure if I'll be returning to this location. Am sad.

    Great, fast service. Sandwiches were decent. Could use more guts (meats and veges). However they're a nice size if you want to eat while driving, as nothing will fall out. Might be nice of them to ask if we'd like any of the free add ins, because I almost forgot to add sprouts.

    I ordered through DoorDash. I do a lot. Because I love their sandwiches. But what a disappointment when I saw that my island veggie sandwich looked like this and no sprouts. I thought it was weird that I had just ordered and a few minutes after the driver already picked up weird.

    Timmy T's Gourmet Grinders. Kapahulu location. Shared free parking. Located next to Safeway. Sign up online for rewards program. For birthday rewards $10 off. Tables and chairs available, inside and outside of business. First time trying. Went on Sunday lunchtime. 3 workers. One taking order. Ordered 3 Pacific Pastrami. Since this was my first time ordering, was not aware of the different bread options, either lettuce wrap, Hawaiian sweet bread, whole wheat bread. Worker didn't ask or verify. Was given the Hawaiian sweet bread for all 3 Pacific Pastrami. Also, was not aware of the list of FREE ADD-ONS. Worker never asked or inquired if the toppings included were okay or if we wanted the additional FREE ADD-ONS. For 3 Pacific Pastrami. 3 Stars. For business. Customer service. Also, the Hawaiian bread, was soft, but didn't care for it. Pastrami was okay, quarter pound, but kinda pricey $14.99. 8 inch. 3 Pacific Pastrami made fast, But Worker should have Verified order. Reminder: Provide phone number at register for rewards. Can also order online.

    Tuna deluxe. But barely any tuna..

    I went to timmy ts in Kailua a long time ago and got some sort of italian sub that was really good. I was excited for them to come to kapahulu since I live nearby. I went here twice in the last 30 days. I ordered a goodfella, and It was good. However I noticed they don't put a lot of protein. It kinda feels like youre being ripped off for a $15 sandwich. The flavors were good though, so I wanted to come back. I ordered a tuna deluxe on wheat bread. The sandwich overall is maybe a 4/10. The tuna doesnt have flavor, and they barely put any tuna anyway.. im kind of upset about my sandwich, cus it looks really good. But sadly isn't. And there's nothing worse about being excited for food to only be put down by it.. 5 stars for service though.

    First time trying this place. Easy to order as all the sandwiches are pretty standard. All your favorite meats and toppings are represented. I ordered the Stumpy Pete and it came out with very soft bread, crisp vegetables and nice smoked ham. There's quite a bit of choices on the menu and I will probably come back to try different ones. Nice catering options too for meetings and get togethers.

    By far the worse sub I've ever had although deli is quite tasty the portion to bun ratio I thought was very sad. Service was great and atmosphere was cool as well as they had a lot of pretty cool things on their wall and artwork. However I was not pleased with their sub. As you can see in my picture it was very small and sad. Luckily it was a complimentary classic sub on them that I got to try for free to no loss for me however I do want people to be aware of this if they do spend their hard earned money here. All in all it was okay and nothing really special that would make me go to them then your normal places that people know on island.

    Located in Moanalua shopping center this sandwich shop has lots of options to choose from. There is lots of parking. The staff were friendly, and service was quick. I opted for one of the classic grinders ("Braddah"- roast beef, lettuce, tomato, and mayo) on their signature 8 inch Hawaiian style bread. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and delicious. The roast beef was tender and pretty juicy. The bread was the star of the show, soft and slightly sweet. Overall the sandwich was good but I would have liked a little more meat, maybe next time I'll pay the extra $ for more. I will be back if I'm in the area because that bread was *chef's kiss* good!

    Lunch in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... A Hot New Business took the place of S7 Icy Bubble next to Safeway. The shared, free parking is much appreciated! If you need to use the restroom, go inside Safeway. It's at the far end of the store... Timmy T's has locations in Kailua and Salt Lake. I've been to both. Kailua has challenging parking, and Salt Lake was on the busy side and didn't have much personality. That's why this Kapahulu location is the best! It's clean, bright, spacious and nicely air-conditioned! There's counter seating around the perimeter of the shop. Check out the signs on the walls... some are hilarious! Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They're so efficient that my sandwich was ready by the time I paid! Whoa! I got the #6: Island Veggie. The cheese gave the sandwich a lot of flavor! The bread was nice and soft! Veggies were fresh and crunchy! It was delicious and healthy! I didn't feel stuffed nor guilty! LOL! I'd go back for other sandwiches!

    #6 Island Veggie ($9.99 + $2.99 beef + $2.49 chicken) cross section
    Megan L.

    Placed an online order, but they make it when you arrive. + #6 Island Veggie ($9.99 + $2.99 extra beef + $2.49 extra chicken): take bread out, cucumber, sprouts, tomato lettuce were the default, remove mayo, add Dijon, add onion, add Italian herbs, cut in half. Love all the customizations, makes a great savory and crunchy sando. Bread was so soft and was slightly sweet, reminded me of Hawaiian rolls (8.6/10)

    Do they offer sourdough bread?

    We currently don’t offer sourdough bread, but our sandwiches are served on our soft, slightly sweet Hawaiian-style bread that many customers love! 😊

    As mentioned by other reviewers, if you're looking for an inexpensive, decent sandwich on Waikiki…read morebeach, look no further. Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

    I'm going to start by saying you won't find a sandwich shop in Waikiki like Pai's Deli. Their…read moresandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Skipping this place would be a crime. And prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a hidden gem, tucked inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort just to the right of Duke's. I've been here many times and have ordered both smoothies and sandwiches. Let me tell you, the bread is incredibly soft, the greens are crisp and fresh, and the protein is ALWAYS tasty. The team works hard to craft your sandwich every time, and I always get a warm "thank you" when I pick mine up (I swear I got into a thank-you battle once, and of course, they won). I highly recommend the tuna sandwich. It's seasoned perfectly and generously filled with tuna. The greens are always piled high. Shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and more sprouts than you'd think possible. It's healthy and DELICIOUS. I usually add avocado, and the sandwich with avocado comes out to $13.75, which is a great deal for Waikiki. Oh! and you get a little skewer of two pineapple slices! It's cute, refreshing, and perfectly ripe every time. The last smoothie I ordered was the Avocado Green Island. It's made with mango, avocado, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and coconut milk. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I've also tried their chicken salad sandwich (money!) and my favorite, the Captain Salad. I recommend getting it with Caesar dressing. The brand of ranch they use isn't really my thing. They also have a homemade balsamic vinagarette that sounds amazing. The salad is huge, topped with turkey and generous crumbles of bacon. I'm telling you, they're serving hit after hit after hit at this spot. Go and enjoy ASAP!

This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great. I've eaten at some very modest places in my native San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, so it's not a snobbery thing. It's a "someone get a Swiffer wet jet and some paper towels and give this whole place a once-over. Speaking of once, that's the sum total of times we'll ever eat here.

So ditch that Moko Loko and grab yourself a beautiful sandwich from Sprout, you'll feel a lot better about your trip to Hawaii. I love that Sprout has vegetable-forward options even in their meat-based sandwiches. The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip. The surrounding neighborhood is also a lively area with tons of fun restaurants and shopping.
