    Sloppy Cold Burger
    S J.

    Major Improvements Needed At This Location! Using Uber Eats pickup app we spent $56.00 at this Wendy's. I received a message from Wendy''s via Uber Eats that our food was ready. When I went inside I was immediately given someone else's order by the male staff member. I left with the order but returned straight away. My Mistake, I did not Check my order before leaving the store. The male staff member that gave me the order and two "Managers" were Rude when I attempted to explain my order and resolve the mixup. The male staff member kept talking over me and he would not listen as I attempted to explain that he had given me the wrong order. One of the managers finally agreed that I was given someone else's order and my order was not ready and still being prepared. The food was Cold and Sloppily prepared after the Manager stated earlier that our food was being freshly prepared. No Apologies were given for their mistake, the Cold food or my inconvenience.

    Great service, yummy frosty, no charge for a cup of water. And it's a good sized compostable cup and you can get ice with that at the self serve station! Quiet, clean, and that includes the restroom! Which, props to Wendy's-includes your choice of the use of the air dryer, or paper towels. Which is important if you're using your hands to open the door to exit. Thank you for the great service!!! We'll be back!

    Nice Drive thru

    First time to this Wendy's as coming this way only because Doctors appointment is in Kailua Town.Wendy's is a nice clean newer building, spacious inside, but on this Wednesday at around 12noon, first impression lacked clean tables& the men's restroom was dirty. No attendant on duty when busy? When ordering the manager was like when you don't want to be there, not a person you would want taking orders !Ordered a large chili with onions & chili( additional $.90) and a double Wendy's Cheeseburger Combo.The bun was hard & the lettuce was a piece that should have been cut or trim, so sloppy ! The fries were from the bottom of the batch, pieces! Not at all like the Wendy's in the mainland USA. Will not return to this store anytime soon.

    Wonderful staffers at Wendy's Kailua! Went today at about 1:20 pm today 3.4.2025 for mobile order pickup. Props to the young man at the fry cook station who noticed twice that I needed something - so attentive and polite, traits that I admire, especially in our young people. It's obvious he was raised with good manners. Can't say enough good thing about this young man. It gave me alot of positive vibes! The chicken sandwich (mahalo T- Mobile Tuesday) was tasty and oh so satisfying! Sorry no photo, as I just dug in before I realized I forgot to snap photo, shucks. Love the self-serve soft drink machine where you can create your own soft drink mocktail. It was nice and quiet (only one other couple) when we arrived. This changed when a few students arrived after school let out; girls on cellphone running (like their life depended on it) out to the side exit door. Shortly after, the din increased as the dining room was filled to the brim with students. Have nothing against students (who represent our future), except for two bullies who felt like cutting off a fellow customer at the soft drink dispenser (read further). I got up to refill my drink and left appropriate space for the hunky, athletically-built male student (Student #1) to finish. Noticed he kept looking around, smirking. I would soon find out why. Before I could get to the soft drink dispenser after Student #1 finished filling his fruit punch drink, two other male students (Students #2 & #3) rushed there before me. Hunky Student #1 hovered nearby to encourage rude behavior. Student #2 did not yield, filling his drink. Student #3 noticed this poor behavior and politely offered to let me go before him; I thanked him. I was no more than a foot away when big body Student #1 (who hovered nearby) quickly stepped back in to block my short path to the dispenser. Judging by his obvious smirks, he knew what he was doing. I took a step back hoping this might satisfy these immature male egos (apparently not so for these misogynists). It seemed this was a game to them. I didn't feel like opening my mouth and inciting violence today (or any day for that matter). These two seemed like they would retaliate: follow you to your car or throw something at you. Thankfully, Student #3 again politely offered to let me fill my drink. I thanked him again; he knows how those two thugs are and chooses not to imitate their poor behavior - truly commendable. Hopefully, in time the two bullies will learn some manners and change (crossing my fingers). Sorry to have been so long-winded about this. I choose not to judge Wendy's Kailua for the inappropriate actions of the two male bullies, who apparently believe they need to use their testoterone for attention or to get their jollies. If possible, I may try to avoid Wendy's after school lets out. Until the encounter with head thug #1 and his disciple #2, it was an awesome visit. Just wanted Wendy's management to be aware of the situation (perhaps have staff patrol dining room and soda area) and especially to acknowledge the exemplary customer service of the staffer on the fry cook station. In the words of my Yelp pal Donna O. would say, mahalo for reading my review.

    Pineapple Under the sea Frosty, Cinnabon Pull-Apart
    Irene M.

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea... Wendy's!! The collaboration with SpongeBob putting together the Krabby Patty Meal is interesting but after a hearty meal a bit of sweet on this Halloween day sounded exactly like the perfect treat. Located right before Mari's Gardens Kailua you can't miss the bright and modern build with lots of free parking and drive thru but walking in I was impressed with the amount of seating the have and how clean and spacious the inside was. I had to give the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty a try along with the Cinnabon Pull apart buns which was nice but could've been warmed up better as it was room temp and the frosty was okay not really much a pineapple flavor a bit sweet for my personal taste but in a basic brown cup was mostly disappointing. I read Angel's review and agree with most of it as the draw to give the collaboration a try was disappointing though my experience here was a delight regardless of the staff first day was so nervous did a fantastic job. A great place to cool and relax in the cool air conditioned dining area whether you're heading in or out of Kailua Wendy's is a surprising nice place to do so. Thank you!

    This is one of the nicer Wendy's that Ive been to. It looks more modern and sleek to some of the other ones. I dined here last night and it wasn't that busy, one other family there. I went to use the bathroom and there was toilet paper all over the place. The toilet seat cover box was empty. It seems like they haven't checked the bathrooms in a while. Other than that everything was great. I got the #1 Dave's Single Combo. It comes with a burger, medium fries and drink. I opted for the chocolate frosty. They have a seasonal flavor right now, pumpkin spice frosty. I didn't try it. The combo was good. I like their burger, fries and frosty. The food came out fast and I did see a worker wiping down the tables.

    Whoever owns and manages this location is an idiot. This is a newer location in a great area. Huge, clean dining room. The problem is 99% of the orders is take out. So if you want to dine in you're possibly screwed. After waiting at the counter 10 minutes, and purposely being ignored by everyone I finally asked if I should just use the drive through. I was about to do just that but realized there'd be no way to reenter the parking lot. The poor girl taking the drive through orders did help me and bless her heart she insisted on not charging me. This employee is the only reason why I'm leaving 3 stars. The food is fine. The drink machines - BOTH of them don't work. Luckily I had a cooler in the car so I went and got a can of Coke. This is a failure of ownership and management. I've been to all the Wendy's in the island. This one is by far the worst. To management: 1. Hire a better manager 2. Ensure there's someone on staff in charge of ringing up fine in customers 3. If this person is unavailable empower someone - not the person taking drive through orders - to cover the registers 4. Make sure drink machines are working Note: on my way out I noticed self serve order kiosks by the drink machines. I'll use that next time.

    Fast & friendly drive thru. Mobile order was spot on with customization. My go to late night burger munchies. Food is hot & satisfying whenever you're feeling the need for a burger & fries. I also like the lemonade mixed with plain tea. Their rewards program also gives you the opportunity to get free food. Not a big fan of their frosty ice cream treats, a bit to sweet but they certainly have da beef! Wendy's smile on the bag, makes for the friendly ambiance if you decide to eat in or take out!

    I've been to this Mahaloha Burger location on Hekili Street, only once, and it was a few years ago…read more Mahaloha Burger, if I recall correctly, first opened a location in Waikiki...andI've been there and in the Ala Moana Center Lanai Food Court. Burgers are similar in quality - these are grass-fed, local ( Big Island ) beef burgers - to some of the upscale, fast casual burger places that have opened in recent years on Oahu. Dining area is small but there is a mezzanine for additional seating. I got takeout...the #8 Loco Moco Burge

    Yumalicious... Who…read moredoesn't love a burger I can get quite bougie when it comes to my dream build where I do love cheese and to get saucy though no pickles or onions for me but please add some lettuce and tomatoes and make it messy! After a brief time spending the day in Kailua it was time for lunch and it was Mahaloha Burger for us and with some parts of Kailua biggest challenge is parking but these merchants on Hekili Street which is right across from Kailua Town Center does have it's own parking in the back is very convenient when you're unable to find street parking. Though quite small the vibe of this restaurant is just adorable lots of statement of Aloha some are fun and cheesy, I ordered the most popular item #9 Mushroom Swiss with fries though I was tempted with the many of their specialty fries is always yummy along with any of their dipping sauce. We're given a buzzer though it took no time to receive our order and gosh what a lovely burger cooked perfectly but you know what would make it better...dine in during their "Happy Hour" weekdays only from 3pm-5pm it's $2 off any burger or hot dog and $1 off specialty fries and yes they also have beer...cheers to this play filled with Aloha. Thank you!

The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

    I've been here several times now, and it's consistently been a solid 4 out of 5 stars…read more If you're expecting full table service or "princess treatment," this probably isn't the place for you. Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

The portions are big, but taste wise I felt there was room for improvement. However, the service was great and the employees very friendly and helpful with navigating the menu. While it seems they are mostly a carry out business, there are a few seats in front, although be prepared to dine with plenty of rooster and hens walking about. - Poke: The standard spicy ahi was too mayo heavy without much spice, and the huge slices of onion (including the big chunk you can see in my pic) really threw it off. The fish itself was ok, but a bit on the mushier side. - Proteins: Plate lunch with kalbi and shrimp, plate lunch with terriyaki chicken, and bowl with kalbi: The shrimp was the best of the proteins and had a nice seasoning, while the kalbi and chicken tasted warmed over. The chicken tasted like the rubbery texture you would get with mall food court chicken. The kalbi was unlike any traditional kalbi I've had, in terms of taste and texture. - Sides: Mac salad, krab salad, and Japanese potato salad. While the krab salad was decent, the mac salad was underdressed. The potato salad was way too salty.
