We split the bulgogi burger and fries and were so full afterwards. It was chock full of pickled veggies and the sauce was delicious!
First stop on our trip, Hamada for lunch. Wasn't crowded on a Monday around 1 and we ordered the salmon katsu and loco moco. I was pleasantly surprised by the salmon katsu, was crispy and flavorful! Came with Mac salad. The loco moco was just okay, the flavor was lacking a bit and the beef patty wasn't too great. Portions are solid and the service is quick and friendly. Tried their yuzu lemonade which was sweet but refreshing.
Hamada is the home of food busting with flavor. Everything here is tasty. I love the specials. It's made in limited quantities, so order ahead and pick up early. If you wait till your actual lunch break there might not be any left. My go to is the Ahi Katsu. Can't go wrong with any of the burgers either. The hamburger steak is a comfort food for me. Parking is limited, but everyone leaves after getting their food so be patient. Support local and Happy yelping!
I must confess I have never tried anything off of their regular menu because I always get tempted by their Daily Specials. If I had to describe Hamada General Store in one word it would be Nostalgic. Their dishes remind me of restaurants past and old school Hawaii food. I really like when they do specials that are an homage to restaurants no longer around like Flamingos or Aiea Heights Drive In. And talk about nostalgia, they have Green River! The only wish I have is that they post their daily special menu on IG the evening before instead of the morning of. I think if they posted it earlier, that would help me decide if I want to order lunch from there the next day. Parking has always been available. Mostly do take out but there are seats/tables inside. If you dine in, your food will still be served in a take out container.
I finally stopped by Hamada General Store. My excitement to finally try this place was matched with an awesome brunch. The order: Ahi Cakes with Dynamite & Kabayaki Sauce on the side and Furikake Rice, Potato Mac, and Pickeled Veg Talk about being smacked in the face with flavor. The ahi tofu patties already packed a bunch of flavor and a nice ginger kick. Then take a bite with the green onions and rice crackers for a fresh zing and crunch. Then taking a bite in the dip of their dynamite (spicy aioli) and kabayaki (Teri style) made for that sweet, tangy, Lucious bite with a slight heat kick. Their potato Mac just zipped up to my top of the list Mac salads. It's soft, creamy, and oh so great. We were greeted with smile and friendly staff. Food came out in a jippy and delivered to our table. There is a small rustic and homey designed seating area with a TV. We will define it be back as there is a lot more on their menu I want to try. Excited for my next stop here.
It was breakfast time and I was craving loco moco. I have yet to find a stellar loco moco on this island that has knocked my socks off. One of the most important criteria to me is that the gravy must be dark and flavorful and the patty must be fresh and moist, not hard or chewy. I did a search on my Yelp app and came across a photo of Hamada's loco moco with super dark gravy. That was all I needed to see! I jumped in my car and headed down there. They're located in Kaka'ako off of Ward & Queen St. They have free parking in front of their restaurant, which is a bonus! As I entered, I was surprised how large the interior was. I was expecting a little hole in the wall. I was also surprised how empty the restaurant was. There was only one table occupied at 10am. I didn't really look at the menu because I knew I wanted the loco moco. The description read: Smash Burger Patty, Two Waialua Farm Fresh Eggs, Homestyle Brown Gravy & White Rice for $21. I ordered it with my eggs sunny. It didn't take long for my dish to arrive at my table. It was humongous and looked promising. The first bite I took, I could tell that the dark gravy was spot on and very delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the smash burger patty. It was a little on the hard side. Therefore the 4 stars instead of 5. Employees were friendly and the restaurant was clean with the tables spaced out well. I will certainly return in the near future to try some of their other menu items.
When the rain was pouring down on us through the storm, we ran over to Hamada General Store for some lunch. Everyone recommended to come here so it was on my bucket list. Don't let the storefront fool you. I thought this was a store. There's a lot of seating inside and their kitchen is an open-concept so you can see everyone working together to prep the food. It helps to call ahead since they become real busy during lunch hour. But if you have the time to sit, I highly recommend to enjoy the meal there. They have their regular menu and their daily specials menu. We ordered off the specials menu (mid March), the blue cheese steak and miso salmon. I'm so glad I came that day since I'm a huge fan of blue cheese and this combination was the BEST. The steak sat on a nice bed of mixed potatoes that I really enjoyed. The miso salmon was cooked perfectly, not dry at all. The shrimp tempura was crispy as well. Also did I mention, they don't charge tax. They update their daily specials and you can find them on their Instagram page. If you're around the area, check them out. I'm definitely going to return.
Great place in DT Honolulu!! Huuuuuge generous portions, each plate is roughly $17-$25. They have drinks too. Nice staff, simple interior. Seems most people get it to go. I couldn't even make a dent in my food, that's how much there was!! Crazy. Good time.
Ordered the miso salmon with eggplant and sweet potato tempura and it honestly hit all the right notes. The salmon was perfectly cooked--flaky, moist, and coated in a rich miso glaze that had that ideal balance of savory and slightly sweet without being overpowering. You can tell it was done with care. The tempura was just as impressive. Light, crispy batter with zero greasiness. The eggplant was soft and almost creamy inside, while the sweet potato added a nice natural sweetness that paired really well with the salmon. Portion size was satisfying and everything came out fresh and well-presented. Definitely one of those dishes I'd come back for.
Hamada General Store is one of those places where I check the specials menu first because it always has unique offerings. The food is tasty and served in generous portions. Some examples of specials that I would definitely get if I saw them come up again include: the HGS "famous" fried chicken bowl, kalua pig omelette, ebi sandwich, and anything with their house chili. If I do order from the regular menu, salmon katsu is my go to; and if I'm thirsty I may also go for a Vietnamese coffee, yuzu lemonade, or green river. They have a parking lot and I've never had trouble with parking because most folks pick up their food to go. Finally, service is great.
Saw the reviews by our fellow Yelper's. We were fortunate enough to get there before closing time. Service was great, nice size dining room. We tried the HGS burger and the Teriyaki bowl with Ebi. The burgers were prepared perfectly. Nice char on the outside juicy inside. Accompanied with Bacon, Cheese, Lettuce, Crispy Pickles, and a wonderful Aioli sauce. It was one of the most delicious and satisfying burgers I've ever had. Accompanied by crinkle cut fries which were hot and delicious. The Teriyaki bowl has Teriyaki Beef and Deep Fried Ebi over rice. The Teriyaki was tender and delicious. The Ebi was crispy outside moist and tender inside. The rice was cooked perfectly . Next time we'll try to get there earlier so we can try some of their Daily Specials. Highly recommended .
I will say this - I wanted to like this more than I did. I'd heard good things about Hamada General Store for months and just never got around to visit. The staff were friendly. The food was maybe 3/5. I ordered the fish n chips n dip. The tsuyu dipping sauce was a nice twist and a welcome sweetness to the dish. It was a large piece of fish as well. But it was just good, nothing over the top. I liked that the fries came with the meal, you didn't have to worry about adding a side. My friend had the salmon katsu and finished it all. I thought it was a bit fishy, but that's also how salmon is. I wanted to try the yuzu lemonade, but talked myself out of it. There are about maybe 8 tables or so to sit at, and a clean bathroom. I appreciate that there's dedicated parking spots out front, a rarity at most places in Kakaako. Was it good? Yes, good enough. Will I be chomping at the bit to go back? Not yet.
Went to Hamada general store and ordered the King crab and blue crab poke......omg.....soooo good. Sorry i forgot to take a picture and it was almost gone when I remembered. It was spicy with big chunks of crab....It was sooooi delicious. I want more please. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. Nice place to eat, lots of tables but I took it to go. I will be back.....hope they have crab poke again.
Ordered takeout for a company lunch, so due to the slight delay between receiving the meal and actually eating it, it may have affected its quality. The burger was good, it was quite juice and flavorful, the bun was perfectly buttery and toasted. A very indulgent lunch that's for sure. Maybe due to my typical burger orders, I just expected the patty to be slightly bigger/thicker to get proportionate to the buns. The fries were mediocre, most weren't as crispy as I'd hoped but it was a fine pairing with the burger. Overall, a decent burger but nothing to write home about. It seems like their popular salmon plate could be a more appealing alternative if I was to visit again as my coworkers seemed to all enjoy it. The Ruben Sandwich also looks delicious as well and packed with various deli meats. read more

Call ahead if picking up. Orders don't take long but helpful if on a time crunch. Loco Moco - hits the spot every time. Pricey but cooks be cooking good consistently so...worth it (: Wafu Hamburger Steak - good but loco moco still better. cheers! read more
They don't disappoint. The reuben was loaded with meat a lots of kim chi versus the usual Cole slaw. Innovative spucyvtwistbon a classic. The HGS burger was juicy and featured fresh pickles and their creamy burger sauce. Fries were fine: crinkle cut and okay but suffered from the trip home. No worri6, that's what air fryers are for! Service is friendly and helpful and the ambiance is very nostalgic. Someday I'll try the rib eye loco moco.... read more

Heard so many good stories about their plate lunches I couldn't resist. Service staff friendly and efficient, keep waiting time to a minimum. Besides their daily specials which sound enticing I decided to go old skool and got their Loco Moco. Let's break it down. Gravy was excellent, perfect consistency, full body beefy flavor. Beef patty smashed and smoky grilled with a nice crust 2 eggs over easy with nice runny yolks. Perfect rice and potato macaroni sides. Check out their menu, every dish sounds great and this is in addition to their 4-5 daily specials. Makes me miss Hawaii even more, life is not fair read more
Hamada General Store is a great find in Honolulu! My family and I enjoyed their specials and regular menu, which was nothing short of delicious. If you're coming here for the first time, the directions may take you behind the building - keep going down Queen St. until you see the green paint... we learned the hard way! The restaurant itself is spacious and clean with a decent amount of seating. Their team is accommodating and our food came out within a reasonable time. All of the plates were tasty and came in large portions! We definitely took some left overs home to enjoy later. read more
Hamada General Store has been on our bucket list for some time so we finally decided to try it before we leave the island. It was a bit difficult finding this place because it's set back from the other businesses due to its parking lot, but we saw it just in the nick of time. Parking is limited and the spaces are a bit tight, but luckily we made it out of there before the cars next to us. Prior to our drive here, I checked their Instagram page for their specials of the day and was instantly sold on their wet burrito special. So we ended up ordering 2 of those, a tonkatsu sandwich, and their famous banana pudding. I've never had fries come with a wet burrito, but I have to say it was quite tasty. I love my burritos and I love my fries, so of course my soul was over the moon. The portion for the burrito was huge--we probably shouldn't have ordered two of the same thing, but now we know. I don't really know if the portion of the tonkatsu sandwich was worth the price, but my family member said he'd rate it an 8/10, and he is picky with his katsu. While waiting, we noticed their shirts had a dragon on them, so we had to get one since one of us is a dragon. The lady ringing us up for the shirt couldn't have been sweeter. I'd definitely come back in the future. read more

Stumbled upon this place when I was heading home from the gym. Originally I wanted the Pastele Stew Moco on the Specials menu, but we went around 1pm on a Monday and they were sold out. Tip: If you want something from the Specials menu, make sure to go before the lunch rush. I tried the Wafu Hamburger Steak and the HGS Burger. The total came to $34 even. The hamburger steak was bland, but the mushrooms and onions underneath were delicious. The tsukemono (pickled radish) was good addition and brought some acidity that the dish needed. The burger was very juicy and satisfying. It came with crinkle cut fries that we crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Amazing that the fries survived the car ride home! The staff were kind and did not rush me at all. The food also came out pretty fast! The inside was clean and with plenty of tables to dine in. There's also a restroom! Overall, a nice local plate lunch place to check out! (Maybe just pass on the hamburger steak) read more

Friendly staff, good food! They have daily specials that sometimes sell out because its so popular and yummy! read more
My favorite items here is still the Salmon Katsu and Kimchi Pastrami Rueben. Both have been consistent and delicious. The fries, however, are sometimes crispy and other times limp and taste like it's been fried in old oil. Hit or miss with the fries and sometimes the specials. The Tonkatsu burger is also very thin and not as tasty as their other items. Prices have gone up, but the portions are still large. read more

Was expecting great food but was so disappointed. The hamburger was not homemade (or didn't look like or taste like it was) it appears to be a premade patty (frozen type) and tasted meh with little hard pieces in the meat. Food not consistent, Service was good. Bonito flakes on Wafu Hamburger Steak patty, which wasn't listed on the paper menu. read more

Another day, another lunch escapade with my lovely husband, but this time, to a true hidden gem located in between automotive care businesses. Once entering, we were automatically greeted by the friendly cashier who showed us their specials of the day including their daily lunch plates on the screen. My husband had his heart placed on the Ribeye Moco $30) and me, the Wafu Hamburger Steak ($17) Both portions were hella huge! I would say enough to feed two people, but if you're hungry like us, you can finish the whole thing. The Ribeye Moco was delicious. The gravy was a little on the salty side, but the overall taste and concept was definitely chef's kiss. My Wafu Hamburger Steak was the best out the two. The pickled daikon matched perfectly with my hamburger patty topped with katsuobushi. Next time I'm trying their steak poké! read more

Heard about this place from Sean K "The Hawaiian Traveler". He definitely did not steer us wrong! The Loco Moco is a hamburger patty (not the frozen variety), 2 eggs cooked to order with lots of yummy brown gravy and a scoop of Potato Mac salad. So ONO! My friend said her mushroom burger was ONO too! I was too busy enjoying my Loco Moco to ask too many questions. Ordered the Yuzu Lemonade. Not as good as the one I had in Japan....but still good...a little on the sweet side for me. After the ice melted some it was less sweet and much better. Hubby said his Green River was a little too sweet also. The employees were very friendly and shared the aloha spirit! I'm not one who gives out many 5 star reviews...but IMO Hamada General Store has earned my 5 star rating. Thanks Hamada General Store...we'll definitely be back the next time we are in Honolulu. read more

A few weeks ago, a friend and I had lunch at Hamada General Store for the first time. We got there by 11:30am and one of their daily specials that I saw on Instagram and was planning to order was already sold out. I decided on their Salmon Katsu. I was not disappointed and totally impressed. I'm not a huge salmon fan, but I do love Katsu! It was delicious. So good, I could eat Salmon more often prepared this way. I made a note to preorder one of their daily specials next time. I recently saw the daily special was Hot Ginger Fried Chicken and did just that! Another delicious elevated plate lunch! The portions are big, I got two meals both times out of my lunches. Service is friendly, there is also a convenient parking lot. Definitely one of my new favorite places to dine in or takeout! Highly recommend! read more

I got "Da Charles" (Spicy Ahi Tobiko Crab Don) with add-on ebi fry, which were on special. It was sooooo good! All the seafood was super fresh and generous. Quantity-wise, I really didn't need the ebi fry, but that was also super ono. The only thing that would've made it even better is if it was sushi rice instead of just white rice. I've only come here for a few times for daily specials, but they never have disappointed me. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality gourmet plate lunches/donburis. Tip: highly recommend ordering ahead of time, especially for daily specials, as popular items can run out pretty early. Highly recommend! read more

This was a good find they have good selections for plate lunches. If that is what you are looking for. I got a special rib eye steak and pasta. I think that I should have gotten the katsu curry or something in that line. The pasta was good but not something I get again. It was 32.00 for lunch which is on the high end. The steak was made medium rare as ordered. My husband the loco moco. He enjoyed it the inside was air conditioned and the air blows well to make your food cold very fast. read more
Dropped by to get Salmon Katsu for lunch at 11am. Since it was not lunch yet, there were only two customers. The employees are friendly and kind. Salmon Katsu is so tasty and portion is generous. Thank you very much for good lunch! read more
A no thrill place for Hawaiian plate lunch. You order at the counter and it has a few tables for dining in and a clean bathroom. I'm not a huge fan of loco moco but Hamada's is pretty good. We also had the katsu salmon and it was really good, nice crunch on the outside and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The macaroni potato salad was good. read more

Ambiance: Great! People were friendly and helpful. Very chill vibe. Location: A little hard to find and there's limited parking. Food: Man, I was so hyped for this place. I ordered the kimchi reuben, and it was way too salty. I'll come back and try something else. That said, I highly suggest giving this place a try. read more

I saw online that this restaurant had the best Loco Moco and had to go see for myself. I didn't get the chance to try it at other places because I really wanted to try it here. I ordered the Loco moco plate and definitely something I've never ate before in my life, which the plate itself was good but don't see all the hype around it. It had good flavor and the gravy was really good but wouldn't see myself ordering it again. I also ordered the Sean's salt and pepper shrimp plate which was really good! Make sure to order the plantation pineapple sugar cane iced tea, it's really really good!!!!! Workers were very nice and helpful and service was great! The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating but Seems like a lot people order it to go and the restaurant is very clean and AC is blasting cold in there! Also they do have a daily lunch special menu which happens to change everyday and the later you get there the less plates on the menu to try. read more
I've been here before but never got around to doing a review until now. But I'll do it for the food that I had because I don't remember what I've had the previous times. LoL! We stopped here for lunch while in town doing errands. We had one of their specials that day which was called surf and turf and consisted of slow roasted pork shoulder with gravy and Cajun spiced shrimp. The plate was loaded!!! Pork shoulder was super tender, gravy was really tasty and the Cajun spiced shrimp was flavorful as well. It wasn't overly spicy, just a little kick. Too bad I'm so lazy to drive to town because I'd he going to this place more than once in a blue moon. They have their own parking lot but could get full around lunch time. We were lucky to score a parking spot. They do post their specials on their IG daily so keep an eye out because they don't disappoint. read more
After years of drooling over their pics on instagram, I finally got to try Hamada General Store. We got there as soon as they opened on this day and one of the specials of the day was a mixed plate that had, pastele stew, fried chicken and spam. The plate was massive and was more than enough for my husband and I to share. The chicken was fried to perfection and the pastele stew was definitely one of the best I've ever had! There was also a lot of meat in the stew!! Aside from the food, they have lots of parking, you can dine in (it's clean and really roomy inside) and the staff was so nice and welcoming!!! There are mouthwatering specials everyday they are open and I can't wait to try something else in the future!!! read more

Hamada General Store was first opened in 1958 by Hatsutero Hamada as a salvage company and later branched out to produce and groceries. Eventually, grandson Elroy ran the business before retiring in 2007. His kids, Jolene and Brandon, had other work interests and were not interested in taking over. The space was then rented out in 2008 as an orthopedic supply store, then I Love Country Café, and then Egghead Café. Then 12 years late in 2019, Elroy's son, Brandon Hamada (4th generation), took an interest in the space. With partners John Estrella and Neil Nakamura, they opened an upscale plate lunch restaurant while maintaining the same name of Hamada General Store and the same building structure. The three partners had worked about 20 years together and shared the same similar vision even if their culinary styles differed. John is known as the "homey one," Brandon as the "fancy one" and Neil has a passion for Italian and Mediterranean fare. Neil and Brandon worked at the bar Slammers, and the three reconnected in the kitchen of Kanpai in 2008 and moved to Home Bar and Grill, then to the Pineapple Room at Macy's in 1999, and finally to Hamada General Store in 2019. Hamada General Store offers Asian fusion comfort local foods in an upscale style: salads (tofu and watercress); sandwiches (kim chi Reuben, burgers, fish and chips, tonkatsu); plates (braised beef loco moco, salmon katsu, katsu curry moco, kim chi steak and eggs, wafu hamburger, grilled steak and eggs); drinks (green river, Vietnamese iced coffee, plantation iced tea, sodas). Some of their menu items are from their previous restaurants that the owners worked in that have proved to be popular. They also have daily specials and grab-n-go (no churn ice cream, chili pepper water, others) that are posted on Instagram in the mornings. They also sell t-shirts with their logo and packaged cookies from a local vendor. We've had the following: * Ahi belly with tomato and ogo relish. The tasty fried ahi belly was delish! The chopped round onions, tomato, ogo relish, and chopped green onions were perfect complements to the ahi belly, including a spicy sauce of shoyu, lemon juice and hot peppers. * Smoked meat combo. The smoked beef was tender and filled with smokiness, and it was complemented with sautéed sliced onions, hot peppers, and topped with chopped green onions. Loved the flavor and spiciness of this dish, as well as the huge piece of perfectly fried chicken. * Steak sandwich with fries. The tasty grilled rib eye was very tender and included in the delicious toasted Ciabatta sandwich were garlic aioli chimichurri (red wine vinegar, red onion, olive oil, mayo, cilantro) and fresh Mesclun greens. The crinkle fries were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. * Mix Plate. Delicious and excellent variety of teri beef topped with chopped green onions, fried chicken, spam, basa katsu with house tartar sauce on a "hidden" bed of rice sprinkled with lots of furikake, potato mac salad, and red non-spicy crunchy tsukemono. All that we ordered have been delicious and of generous portions, and as John says, "It's stuff that we like to eat." The owners' vision is to carry on a legacy of providing good food with a sense of place, always served with Aloha. Their focus is on consistency, attention to detail, and good value. We can attest to that, as we've thoroughly enjoyed their plate lunches and craving for more. Staff is attentive, efficient, and friendly. Open for breakfast and lunch, I usually call in my order for take-out, as your order will be ready at your requested time and need not wait during the busy lunch hour. Plus, some of the daily specials are sold out by 12p, so call in early. Located in Kakaako area on Queen St. directly across from Kiyo's Transmission, look for a green building. With 1,500 sq ft of interior space, it is very clean and modern with an open kitchen. Due to the pandemic, you can eat in with a limited number of tables lining the perimeter of the restaurant (the large tables in the middle have not yet been brought back). Free available parking fronting the restaurant is available and is shared with other businesses in the complex. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat, 9a to 2p. We're looking forward to returning, knowing how delicious the food is. Can't wait to try the wafu hamburger steak, the kim chee Reuben sandwich, and whatever surprises we may find in the daily specials. Amazing that four generations have continued the family legacy in this one building, albeit different type of businesses! read more
THEY HAVE INSIDE DINING!!!!! I was starving and needed to eat, but where? And then I thought, Hamada!!! I always get the chicken katsu sandwich but this time I wanted to try something new. There was a pesto burger and a ribeye on the specials and I asked the friendly worker which one? She: they're both really good Me: I'll take the burger OMGEEEEEEEE! This burger was sooooooooooo delicious!!!! The pesto was an intense flavor of basil and garlic!!! I wish I had extra to dip my fries in!!! So if you plan on going, check out their specials first! Mahalo Hamada! read more

Awesome little spot next to all the breweries in kakaako... Family-owned grass-fed grass finished beef from Big Island beef. Found this place on a YouTube blog called Amanda and Felix eats. A must watch for any local foodie and tourist I guess. Moani provided the friendliest service ever. We will definitely be back...closed on Sundays. read more
We had Wafu hamburg steak, salmon katsu, kimchi ruben, and chicken katsu curry. Their food portion is huge and everything is super flavorful makes a satisfying meal when hungry. I liked their version of Creamy potato mac salad, it was really good. Currently take out only so phoning your order ahead of time would be a good idea. read more
Gotta love this place for its local eats. Service is great and from the moment you order to when you get your food it's fairly fast. However if you call in this place will have your food up and ready when you come in granted you give them an estimated time when you'll get there. I did enjoy everything expect be or the fact that their Mac salad was a bit different then what I'm used to. All in all it was a great experience with great customer service and parking wasn't as bad as I thought. This dish however was a special they had for the day. They did have a set menu they have daily but honestly there is no wrong choice when coming to this place. Mahalo to the crew here at Hamada's. read more
Delicious food for breakfast and lunch. They have a few tables inside to dine in at. We had the 4x2 Breakfast $14 which was delicious and so large. I had the HGS burger with Swiss cheese and bacon on a toasted Brioche bun, aioli and pickles served with fries it was delicious, tasty and messy! LOVED it! The service was efficient and they were really friendly. It seems a lot of people order take out and they have daily specials as well. Delicious food I will definitely be back. read more

Do they ever serve Saimin like at Home Bar and Grill?
If I just wanted to just pick up food, am I allowed to bring my 2 small dogs (not service animals) in with me? (I am likely to stop by during my walk with them)
If you carry them or they are in a bag you should be ok. I had no problem doing this. It's common courtesy to not walk them in on a leash though.
Do u have tables for seating? Or r u still just doing takeout?
They have tables for seating
Do you use MSG?
Still just take out?
Yes, currently we only offer Take-Out. We highly recommend placing an order via phone (808-379-1992) to help expedite your order. Last phone order accepted will be 1:30 as our business hours are Mon-Sat, 9am-2pm, Closed Sunday.
Do they take orders over the phone?
It's better to place phone orders if you are interested in one of their popular specials of the day, you can place your order to be picked up at a later time.
Do they start serving the lunch items after a certain time or is it all day?
Entire menu served from 7-2. While supplies last on their specials.
