Not sure what the hype is all about... Disclaimer: I'm not a huge Churro fan. Call me a Churro snob if you will...they have to be amazing for me to endorse...like in Mexico. On the rare occasion I taste or try Churro's on the mainland; I found them far too sweet, simply loaded with cinnamon or sugar and without having a good texture...either too hard, overly oily or too spongy. Yes...I tried the fabled Dysneyland Churro's before...instant diabetes on a stick. Never saw the appeal. The sugar: ~ Lychee - 3/5 A decent hint of Lychee flavor, not overly amazing or incredible. Texture is also OK. ~ Mango - 2/5 Not sure why this was colored pink. Not much of a Mango flavor to it...In fact if we were blindfolded or or presented this without any information; we wouldn't be able to tell you what we ate.. Wishing these guys the best...
This is NOT a review from a tourist. No added stars for being high on Hawaii. A lobster corn dog. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, very sweet, corn meal coating surrounds bits of real lobster on a stick. The "dog" is dressed with the typical "dragon sauce" and dusted with togarashi. A great snack if the hangry pains hit but at $15, expensive. Very friendly service. In the COVID era, credit cards preferred. A novelty at best but worthy of a try none the less.
The shrimp plate was yummy! It had just the right amount of garlic, butter and spice, but definitely not spicy. As for the lobster dawg, the batter was tasty, topped with a nice aioli, though I just wished it had more lobster inside for what it's worth. As for those churros, they were nice and crunchy, with that lychee sauce and it looked like li hing mui, that gave it a different flavor. As for the plantation iced tea, it was on the watery side; I would've wanted more tea and more pineapple flavor in it. To order and pay (even for the plantation iced tea and churros) go to the main stand where the shrimp and main entrees are sold. If you get churros or iced tea they will give you a ticket, that you need to walk to the churro and drink stand to give. They then make your products accordingly and call you at either side when your orders are ready. Parking available on the road near Giovanni's or the Kahuku Sugar Mill, just avoid the potholes and puddles!
$12.42 for fried lobster dog. The corn dog with the lobster wasn't bad, not a ton of lobster, mostly corn meal. Was it worth $12.42, probably not. We did get to try the strawberry churro bite, it was fine as well. Quick service.
My friend saw an amazing lobster option... in the form of a corn dog. We just had to check it out! It's located in the "middle" where cars can cut through one part to the other side of the Kahuku food truck central. It's closer to Giovanni's. There are many random spots to park at or the invisible stalls that won't ever be a problem. We got the lobster dog and their take of a Hawaiian churro (mango and lychee). I'll start with the churros. The churros were an interesting color... pink and green for mango and lychee?? Confused but interesting. I tried the pink one, and I couldn't distinguish the flavor at all. It tasted like a regular churro. Then I tried the green one and still couldn't distinguish the flavor. My friend thought the the pink one was lychee... but we don't really know. Definitely not worth $10. The lobster dog looked good! It was drizzled with a kind of mayo and furikake. I took a bite of the dog and the first thing that came to mind was the texture of the breading. It wasn't smooth and really crummy similar to a regular corn dog breading. Totally did not expect that, tbh. The lobster was nicely minced and packed into the cornbread. The mayo gave a lot of flavor to the snack! I thought this place was okay. It's an interesting experience especially with the new lobster roll hype. Wouldn't go out of my way for it though.
This place ended up on our radar thanks to the folks at 22Kailua! It's situated amongst a handful of fast casual spots on North Shore. Lines weren't too long when we were there in September 2021. Not sure we'd take a trip out to North Shore just for this, but it's a fun option if you're already in the area. * Kahuku waffle dog: Steven preferred this one. I just liked the lilikoi honey mustard--certainly not something I've had before. * Lobster dog: I liked the consistency! It reminded me of a crab cake. Steven said he would've liked it more if the dog were marinated.
Ordered garlic shrimp, lobster dog, and the seafood boil. The service was quick and the order came out quickly. Had a seat in their nice outdoor seating area right off to the side. Not crowded or busy so it was nice! Now for the food! Plates were beautiful but for me the garlic shrimp lacked depth. The shells on the shrimp were very soft which means either they've been sitting too long or not fresh. It needed something. Chunks of garlic would be excellent. The boil same thing. It had sausage, corn, potato and clams. The lobster dog? It was like a sweetened cornbread with pieces of lobster. It was slightly sweet and crunchy on the outside. It would not be something I would order again. I'll save my drive and my $$$ for food worth remembering.
How can you not try a Lobster Dog?? It was delicious! The owners are super cool too. Not many places you can roll up and hear country music blasting. Awesome vibe and you get a drink and a bag of chips with the meal. Score - parking: plenty of parking - cost: $13 - $18 a person - menu: lobster dog and 4 or 5 other meals - perk: seating and shade - dessert option: Hawaiian Churro right next door
New location in HI and it couldn't have been in a better location. The service starts when a smile and awesome folks, then the reason for stopping...FOOD! You have a choice of lobster dogs and shrimp plates. Good luck to this family and I'll be returning for more..thank you for accepting us..mahalo
Lobster Corndogs super unique and super delicious!! Best Poke Ive ever had! Seafood boil is a must try!!! Loved the live music!
I had high expectations of this food stand because of the reviews and videos i've seen on social media and who wouldn't want to try a lobster corn dog?! What I saw on Instagram was a whole lobster tail coated in a cornmeal batter with spices and a mayo drizzle. Instead, what I received was an overly fried and thick corndog with a small amount of lobster paste in the middle. This was definitely not worth $14. I even went back on their social media to look at what they posted and it is not the same product. I was so excited to try this and support a local business but I think they are targeting tourists unfortunately.. I am assuming they were unable to get a supply of lobster tails to offer what they normally sell, but if this is the case then don't make a substandard version and sell it for the same price.
I love this spot. Great service even better food. I had the Mahi Mahi poke, delicious, fresh, yummy. The pineapple ice tea was quite refreshing. I will definitely come back.
Brah I stay going to shrimp shack but no more. These shrimps are so much bigger and they are easy to peel. Can get a pineapple smoothie out of the pineapple next door and churros. Bug gags is so ono. No more shrimp shack only going here for now on.

Stopped in for some late lunch and lobster for dog caught my eye... so I had to try it! It's more of a sweet corn batter and it actually has a waffle texture to the outside of it. The inside had lots of lobster meat and was actually a really yummy flavor profile! We devoured it! Nice folks who run the truck and the area around was clean and well maintained. read more
This is the definition of a TOURIST TRAP! I paid $14 for a "lobster corndog" and it was filled with the skimpiest amount of imitation crab meat I've ever seen (look at my pictures if you don't believe me). I've gotten fatter California rolls from Genki/ aloha/ sushi man sushi. There was NO LOBSTER IN THE "LOBSTER" CORN DOG!!!! I went there with the motorcycle club and got laughed at when I showed them what I bought and they didn't even believe me when I said the price of each corndog. Eat here if you want to lose your dignity. The only reason I came here was I saw a rave review on IG and now I realize they must have been paid to say nice things. ~ Feeling mad and ripped off. read more
