    8" Capastrami
    Liz W.

    Update* Two years later and Capriotti's is still serving! I ordered the Beef Cheesesteak with added spicy peppers - ToGo. The gal at the counter was sweet. The screen menu wasn't working and there were no paper menus up front. But she acquired some from the back and all was right again. Casual fast meal style place: tables and chairs. The hoagie bread - phenomenal The portion of thinly sliced beef - generous The spice of the peppers - has a lil heat! I love it. Finally! I ordered the 8" (because obviously it's just the right amount) and it was reasonably priced. With a drink and coleslaw (you have the option of chips, fries or slaw), it was about $25. The days of $5 footlongs are long gone. I'm happy to pay more for great quality.

    I haven't been here in a while, but the hubby likes this place, so we stopped in for dinner last night. We ordered two of the medium Hot Bobbie $16.79 each with a fries and drink combo +$8.49. The Bobbie is pretty much a Thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. It was just as good as I remembered it. The medium was huge for me. I ate half and took the other half home for my son. I love their fries. It wasn't oily and extra crispy. This company was established in 1976. The Bobbie is their most popular sandwich. It was voted greatest sandwich in America. Their turkeys are roasted for 12 hours daily. It's hand pulled and never sliced. No wonder the sandwich is so yummy. The service by the young folks working there was outstanding. They were so polite. They asked me if I needed a bag when I was going to take my leftovers home. As we were leaving they told us thank you and to have a good night.

    First time here and we enjoyed our lunch. My friend and I both ordered a 10" sandwiches. I had a vegetarian and we shared a side of fries. I have had many vegetarian subs and sandwiches, but this one was so filling. My friend had the bacon chicken ranch and he enjoyed it also. Funny thing is, we did not realize Capriotti's was a chain with locations in more than 30 states! What?? This particular location provided us with fast and friendly service. The quantity and fresh quality of the food was definitely worth the price! It offers outdoor seating for the amazing Hawaiian weather. This was a really good sub/sandwich. We will be back!

    First time to Captiotti's sandwich shop this particular location is in the Kuono market place across from Kahala Mall . This Capriotti's has a different vibe they have dine in available along with French fries. I ordered their grilled Italian which was pretty good . Their sizes is not the normal half or foot long . They call it mini,small,medium, large . I ordered small and it was fairly large just like a foot long. Prices are not bad either service was friendly. Support local

    Great place for a quick sandwich. I really enjoyed their crispy fries. I like the portions for something that was considered a "small" it was quite filling.

    The girl took our order politely. We ordered the signature turkey sandwich and fries. There is a little wait because everything is made fresh to order. We took the sandwich to go. The fries were hot. The sandwich and gravy were cold!!! I had to warm up the gravy at home!! The sandwich leaked through the paper bag on the way home. My pants were soaked

    Capastrami awesome sandwich with pastrami and slaw
    Richard C.

    2 year anniversary for this national franchise. The sandwiches were not only tasty...they were HUGE! The large was the length of my arm. Employees and owner are super friendly and the shop is very clean. They are building a second store in Kapolei (it's sure to be a hit!) Same parking lot as Foodland. If you haven't already tried them don't hesitate. Grab a sandwich and a drink and you'll be set for a long nap on the beach.

    French dip
    Claire H.

    Looking for a place for a late lunch and we decided to try here. We walked and it was quite busy. I ordered a small Capastrami and my sons both ordered small French Dip, a fries to share and drinks. I like that you can order the sandwiches by size. The young man who took our order was very kind and patient. He informed us that it may take around 15 mins and if it is okay. Sure, I could see they were very busy. We sat at a table and got our drinks. The music they have playing is fun 80's music.. brings back good memories. lol anyway our food is ready and the French dip sandwiches had a nice amount of meat. My Capastrami was good but I wish it had more pastrami and less coleslaw. The fries were nice and crispy! We all enjoyed our lunch and said we will go back.

    BBQ Chicken
    Rebecca C.

    Chicken sandwich was stuffed well. Bread was a tad soggy and weighed down from all the stuffing. The chicken was tasty and plentiful. The sauce was well-portioned, and we loved the flavor that the coleslaw added. Great spot for a to go sandwich! Quick service and you can order online.

    Mini Hot Bobbie and French fries
    Sally W.

    It's best to order online in advance and sandwich is usually ready when you arrive. I love that the fries are cooked when you arrive so they are nice and hot!! I'm not usually a big fan of turkey and don't even usually eat turkey at Thanksgiving but the Hot Bobbie is delicious!!! I always get the mini - the small is too much for one meal. Getting a side of gravy is a game changer but it's a lot for the mini so unless I'm sharing with someone I don't order gravy. The staff here is always very nice and friendly!

    American Wagyu French Dip
    Hailley O.

    I remember seeing this place on IG and had to check it out because I love a good sandwich! We ordered a large French dip sandwich to share and it was so tasty! The meat was tender and the cheese was perfectly melted on top. I loved how the bread was nice and crisp so it wasn't too soggy when we dipped it in the au jus. We also got a side of the naked fries and omg it was so good! I l liked how thinly sliced it was so it was really crispy. It was almost like a cross between a fry and chip. Inside the store itself is pretty clean and spacious and the food came out quick. I definitely recommend this place! It's like a more elevated Subway or Jersey Mike's! I would come here again to try their other sandwiches and to get their fries again!

    Classic Italian
    Rachael K.

    I downloaded the rewards app to redeem the $2 off my first order at Capriotti's. I believe this sandwich shop is a chain, like Subway or Jersey Mike's. I've heard good things about their hoagies, and wanted to give them a try. [Location] This Capriotti's is located in the new shopping plaza, across from Kahala Mall. Close to Zippy's and Shell gas station. Parking is free but hard to come by depending on the time and day. Free parking is always a bonus though. Not sure if they have a restroom on site because I ordered takeout. [Food] I ordered the classic Italian and my boyfriend got the wagyu French dip. He loved his sandwich because the meat was tender. I enjoyed my Italian, as it was loaded with veggies and meats. The bread is not as satisfyingly fluffy as Jersey Mike's, but it was soft and tasted fresh. Whoever built the two sandwiches did so with care. [Service] The gentleman who assisted me was very kind and welcoming. He was careful to package the au jus in a separate smaller brown bag in the bigger brown bag. I do wish Capriotti's offered better quality packaging, but my sandwiches survived the short drive back home.

    Lois I.

    I love Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, always consistent fantastic sandwiches. My go to fav is the wagu french dip with added onions and mushrooms. Omg heaven. I preorder via the app and the sandwiches are ready when I arrive. The seating area is ok, it is small, but customers use them...there are tables outside as well. I order take out, so I usually go early,since the parking can fill up quickly and the parking lot itself,is very challenging.

    Nice, clean and air conditioned

    Are pets allowed? Like a small lap dog?

    There is no signage displayed, it's a health code violation which may incur the wrath of the health department which affects the restaurant shutdown 😔

    Are there spicy peppers in the grilled chicken Parmesan? The sandwich I ate today was really spicy.

    Aloha, It comes with sweet pepper on grilled chicken Parmesan.

    Do they offer wheat or whole grain buns?

    Unfortunately we only serve white bread for our subs

Soda area was pretty dirty with lots of spilled soda all over and no employees bother to wipe it down. The Jumbo Jack was SO SMALL!! Barely anything in it!! They also didn't have ketchup!! How odd is that to not have ketchup? Some customer lost his temper and started yelling at the workers and eventually got into it with the manager. He claimed he was waiting for an hour for his food, which I highly doubt, but it was quite entertaining hearing him scream his head off at the manager. "I don't want my food now because you guys will probably spit in it!" He kept saying that over and over. It was pretty funny.

It's a lot smaller, but they do have parking in a paid parking lot (card only), across the street for metered parking. My go-to is the "1950s burger" but this time the beef patty is smashed and has a char, crispy edge, which is so good. I'm pretty simple when it comes to burgers and this was great. However, since I ordered a single patty, it felt like the patty was sinking into the other ingredients in the burger. So next time, I'll order double patties. Fries: crinkled,hot and fresh, compliments burger really well and soft serve ice cream. Soft serve ice cream also good, it's what McDonald's vanilla cone wants to be, thick, not too sweet, and creamy. Doesn't melt as fast and you can dip your fries in it. Again, packaging is what sold me to chubbies/boarded up, it holds your burger really well, no matter how messy it can be, it still doesn't soak up or rip.

I went through the drive-through and the first thing they asked is if I would be using the app to order. That's weird. Why would I use the app to order in the drive-through? I came drive-through to talk to a human being. I asked for a caramel sundae and one for my husband too. The worker tells me my total and I pull forward and pay. I go to the second window. The worker there hands me two paper cups with just ice cream in them. I said, "I'm sorry but I asked for caramel sundaes." The worker said, "This is a plain sundae." What the heck is a plain sundae? A sundae, by definition, is ice cream with a topping on it, usually fudge or chocolate, sometimes strawberry or caramel. A sundae has toppings. I learned that at McDonald's, "plain sundae" is something you can order and it's just a cup of soft serve. In any case, I didn't order a plain sundae, I ordered a caramel sundae. The worker yelled something back to the first person who I had ordered from, then topped the ice creams with some caramel and handed them back to me. At least the price is the same for a "plain sundae" and caramel or chocolate versions, so I didn't have to pay the difference. Also, I gotta say, McDonald's really is practicing shrinkflation, as the last time I got a caramel sundae when it used to be in the plastic cups, it sure seemed like a lot more ice cream and a lot more caramel. This little paper cup of ice cream isn't really worth the price.

    (Tookout 04/22/26 WE @ 7:00pm): No raised fingers given at this chicken coop!…read more In my quest to continue exploring the various cuisine scenes as well as other businesses throughout O'ahu's Windward side, specifically the neighborhood of Hawaii Kai (southeast shore of the island), I ventured into Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers as my first time to ever try their food after I've seen them all over the place on the Mainland. I was always down for a juicy succulent piece of fried chicken however it was fed to me. It wasn't the healthiest way to eat chicken, but things fried just tasted better, correct!? Founded in 1996 on the campus of LSU by Todd Graves and named after a friend's Labrador Retriever (Raising Cane), his arduous dream that began in college has since grown into one of the fastest grown restaurant brands in the U.S. Would I raise a thumb's up instead of a middle finger to their tender chicken!? PURCHASE(S) 3pc Chicken Fingers Sandwich ($8.79): This messy two-hander was slipping and sliding all over the place as I tried to keep it together (I failed). Three crispy crunchy thick pieces of chicken between a pillowy soft sweet bun with a smear of Cane sauce and a hint of lettuce, this was a lovely introduction to this brand's food, and I now understood the hype that surrounded it. Aesthetics aside, you could've easily eaten this as fingers and a side of bread, but this large sandwich did the job. My only wish was that it was spicy and came with pickle chips, but it was still ono! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=sod8F8j7AIUDoK3mQptIUw The Box Combo - 4pc Chicken Fingers, Crinkle-Cut Fries, Texas Toast, Coleslaw, Cane Sauce, 22floz Drink ($12.79): Because of my sandwich, I was able to split this meal into two! Loaded with a little bit of everything, the chicken was just as yummy as my sandwich, there were plenty of spud sticks with a light dusting of seasoning, the toast was a revelation all on its own and would easily order a few more as a snack, the coleslaw lacked flavor (I put some on my sandwich instead), the Cane sauce add a touch of zing but wished it was spicy, and the sweet tea was like I was transported to the South it was so damn good and probably loaded with a ton of sugar. A heck of a meal at a deal! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=f5GUo39r6DcCdVAVoN-ArA SERVICE I was greeted by a young woman at the front counter where I immediately placed my order, received my cup to fill with my fountain drink of choice, and within five minutes my name was called as we caught each other's eyes while I waited nearby. Everything was good - mahalo! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance): Located in the outdoor Hawaii Kai Towne Center, there were plenty of spots although I decided to do the 25-minute one-way walk for exercise - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A standard quick-service restaurant layout with a central order counter, a fountain drink machine off to the side, plenty of dining spots in a spacious room, and minimal decorations with some interesting elements such as these ceiling disco balls https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=Ruk3zzf-dWb0pTPXWIWt6Q (I didn't know if they actually worked). Plenty of natural lighting came in through the front doors and surrounding windows while recessed electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I really enjoyed the food at Hawaii Kai's Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers location as my first experience with this brand. High marks for all of the food (however... please add some spice to the chicken seasoning and sauce, and more flavor to the coleslaw), the portions were great, the prices were very reasonable, and the service straightforward. The menu was extremely limited, but the same could be said with In-N-Out. I wished there were some Hawaii-specific menu items. Sure, they were a fast-food chain restaurant, but they started as a local small mom & pop business at one time. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $23.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    This is just fast food. I can't say it is anything more or less than I expected. They made the…read morebread fresh though. I needed to wait for the toast. We ordered a big tray of them. Inside was spacious and clean.
