If you're visiting Waimānalo and looking for authentic local food, skip the chains and stop by…read moreKeneke's. This isn't a sit-down restaurant--it's a local walk-up spot where you order at the window, pick up your food, and enjoy it at the outdoor seating area. It's simple, relaxed, and full of local charm. Keneke's has been serving the community for many years, and despite all the changes and new competition, they continue to do what they've always done: serve delicious local food with genuine aloha. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the food is consistently satisfying. Whether you're a local or just visiting the island, it's one of those places that makes you feel welcome. What stands out even more than the food is the people. Every time I've been there, I've been treated with kindness, humility, and genuine aloha. One day I only wanted a small chicken salad that wasn't on the menu, and they happily made one just for me. They even worked with my limited budget instead of turning me away. That's the kind of customer service that stays with you. I've also seen how they support the local community by giving opportunities to people who are struggling or who might have a hard time finding work elsewhere. Businesses with that kind of heart deserve to be recognized. When people ask me where to grab a quick bite in Waimānalo, Keneke's is my recommendation every time. As for Kalapawai, my own experience has been different. I found the portions to be smaller for the price, and because of my personal experiences there, I no longer recommend it. Others may have different experiences, but for me, I'd rather support a longtime local business that has consistently shown kindness, generosity, and the true spirit of aloha. Mahalo to everyone at Keneke's for serving great food, treating people with respect, and keeping the aloha spirit alive. I'll gladly continue recommending you to both locals and visitors.

There is an old skool walk up ordering window that you order through. There is a dining area to the side of the window. It used to be an inclosed open patio and used to have a roof but now its more of an outside dining area half shade half sun. It's cool they have some scripture painted on the wall too. The kitchen is all screened in to prevent flies from coming into the kitchen so you know the food is safe. The food is your typical plate lunch burger fare. (Pic of menu) The portions are fair to huge and are a decent value. The food was good and the staff was cool. The only thing is...and I hope the owner or staff is reading this. I don't know why but there a lot of flies outside maybe from other issues close by I know it didnt effect the safety of the food but Please buy one of those fly bag traps From home depot to reduce flies outside. I think it would go a long way with aesthetics when dining outside!! Good safe food...fair pricing..good portions just control the flies outside.

Inside Oneawa Market is steak rave. There is a wait, but I think it's because they cook to order. Just a heads up, if you already showered after a long day at the beach you might wanna have someone order for you cause the cooked food smell will make you smell. How I wish I ordered this to go on the way back... some galbi and fried noodles sound so bomb. This is definitely a spot I recommend for everyone to try.

I've been here many many many times and it's finally time I let you in on this secret gem. It's a very small hole in the wall Mom n' Pop shop. There's some seating inside too if you need to rest from being outside in the sun all day. It's definitely no frills, but I'm not gonna dock any points because the main thing is the food. ABSOLUTE BANGER prices. I got the bbq cheeseburger and it was a dream. Very savory and the best part is you don't have to wait around in line for a food truck event to come up just to get your burger fix. I have NO idea what they put in this burger but it's brok da mout. It's SO cheap too. For their plates, they have mini and regular options...which is perfect when you're not ready to commit to a whole plate. The food is made fast and it tastes consistent every single time. They got their system down to a T. I got the BBQ Chicken mini and honestly, this is fully enough to fill you up. They're generous with the chicken, rice and mac. They really remind me of my family when it comes to portioning food...eat eat eat up and grow big. That is a VIBE. At this point I realized that I ate all of the food already and couldn't even show you the good stuff I got. HOWEVER, it's a huge recommend if you're in the area and coming back from the beach. It HITS. For those of you that love logistics planning before you make up your mind, here's a quick rundown: - Free Parking - Restrooms Available - Phone Orders (recommended) - They take card + cash (cash tips only) - Breakfast menu as well - Good, fair prices I hope you'll give them a chance :) ALOHA!

They did however have a place with canopies and chairs to sit at to the side (maybe 2 large picnic tables) and there was even a bathroom right next door. The staff consisted of one or two young girls and a cook. The staff wasn't friendly or wasn't hostile either just doing their job. Menu was very limited and I forgot to take pics I guess I was excited to grind anyways I know they had hamburger curry (because thats what I had) and it was good!! But for the portions size it wasnt exactly cheap (nothing is cheap anymore ) Thier curry was good though!! My mind is a blank on to what else they had because I was hungry ...

It's a great place to eat before, during or after a drive around the windward side. You see people coming in from fishing or from chartering boats that come in from the sandbar. Worth a try if you're ever on this side of the island.

Look for it when you pass the traffic circle by the Hygenic Store. I parked right there at the store's gravel parking area. The menu was intriguing and the fragrances were inviting! The woman inside the truck was very friendly! I appreciate the Kama'aina discount! The man outside the truck had the Aloha Spirit, too, and helped me with my food photo, as well as packaging up my containers! I ordered the Triple Threat plate and chose Creamy Garlic Shrimp (with tails on), kalbi (tasty), and Lilikoi Smoke Meat (tender).

This one is on the side of the road closes around 6 or 7, depending on the traffic. Very island life vibe. They also have a shave ice truck right next to them. I got the creamy garlic shrimp. OMG it was so yummy! I LOVED it. It's not like all the other shrimp places in the island. This is creamy and garlicky. It's not spicy. It comes with rice and even the sauce with the rice tastes sooooo good. I didn't eat the mac salad because it has shredded tuna. My bf got the Trydis Mix with the creamy garlic shrimp and bone-in short rib. He really enjoyed the meat, it was very flavorful and tender. It was grilled to perfection! The service was amazing. I don't remember her name, but Solé's (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) sister was friendly. She checked up on us to make sure everything was good. I truly can't wait to come back! The only thing is we did get blocked by some kids parking on the lot blocking the exit. We had to get out of the car and ask them to move. They saw us trying to get out, but still didn't move until we asked.
