2nd visit in a couple of weeks and both times good food and service. Teriyaki Burger with a pineapple added with sweet potato fries and cherry shake.. awesome. Latest was teriyaki chicken sandwich and good but the Banana shake was killer with fresh banana in it. A bit cooler inside too and free WiFi so can't beat it. Just a great local business vibe with sports paraphernalia decorating interior. read more

Really yummy sandwiches and fries! Also they gave us free mini ice creams with our purchase!

This spot doesn't look like much when you are driving past it but we'd heard the food was really good so we decided to give it a shot and we were NOT disappointed! The inside is pretty small with booths only lining the two sides of the dining room but there is also some patio seating. It wasn't busy when we arrived so we were seated quickly. After checking out the menu my son and I decided to split the skewer plate since neither of us was super hungry. It came with 2 good sized skewers and a healthy portion of white rice and it was DELICIOUS. The filet mignon was tender and both the meat and veggies were perfectly grilled with a yummy teriyaki sauce. My boyfriend had the tri tip sandwich on a roll with fries and said while the fries were pretty standard, the tri tip had really good flavor and the meat was nice and tender. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. When the waitress brought our check, she asked if we wanted some complimentary soft serve..."Uh, duh!" LOL. You have your choice of chocolate, vanilla or swirl and the little portion is just right after a big meal when there's not really much room left for dessert. My only issue was that the place could stand a really good cleaning but that's a pet peeve of mine. Overall, we all enjoyed our visit. The food and service were both great and we would most definitely return to try one of those amazing sounding burgers that they are known for. read more

Food and service is amazing. Sit outside on the front patio listen to the fountain and music. My wife is vegan and loved the garden burger and I had the Tri- tip with mushrooms. It was flavorful and delicious. We will return soon. Our server put more water in the fountain and always made sure we were doing okay. read more

Great food, good service, and love the breakfast and good portions great customer service and the environment is very friendly

Well we went back to Hula's for a second time. We came here after church. The food was great! We got plenty to eat for the senior meals. The prices are right, too. There is plenty seating outside if it gets busy inside. Only one waitress today but she did great. The cook did a great job,too. We didn't have to wait long for the food. Last time the waitress offered us a complimentary soft serve but that didn't happen this time. I'm wondering if the owners last name is Victorino? The Victorino's are well know in Hawaii. It was also my last name. read more

There's always a long wait in this drive-through but man is it worth it!!!! I will wait an hour for their food. It's absolutely worth it. They have the best food in the entire world and the best milkshakes you've ever had. This is a must try!!! 10 stars from us!!! read more

Good service, delicious milkshakes, good food. Toilet was clean. Highly recommend as stop while driving. I recommend sitting inside when it's very hot. read more

We finally got around to trying this restaurant after looking at it for a long time and it was just OK. We found that while the portions were large, the food left something to be desired. We felt the burgers could have benefited from being cooked on a hotter grill as it seemed soggy and didn't have any form of crust (IYKYK) and was very under seasoned. The vegetables used on the burgers was all super cold making the burger patty itself cold (would benefit from being tempered on a prep table) and the overall burger not very enjoyable. The fries could have used more seasoning and could have been cooked crispy. They weren't very good and we only ate a few apiece. We also ordered a side of their chili and found that also was lacking flavor and definitely wouldn't call that a chili. The place does have a fun atmosphere and plenty of tables inside and outside. Server and general service was friendly, attentive and quick. They absolutely don't need any help with that side of the business. Overall, we did not feel the food is near worth what was being charged and unfortunately we won't be back. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing but we rarely go out that way so we'll try a different business next time. read more

Its all about the people breakfast was good, service was wonderful... nice gal good communication knows her stuff very pleasant.. thank you read more

We have passed this popular diner on our way to Pinecrest for years. We finally stopped by this year and I'm wishing we always had. It's authentic American eats. My daughter and I both ordered the Bacon Avocado Delight, fries, and root beer. The sandwiches were a treat, all that good and bad fat on crisp toast. It hit the spot after a crazy week back to school mid-pandemic. The staff was cheerful and brought our food. There was an even split between masked patrons and the unmasked but it was family-friendly and chill. read more

There was only one response when I asked a local proprietor where I should eat lunch: "Hula's is where I always wind up. I stare at the menu intending to order something different but I always fall back on the same thing, the Guacamole Burger. It's good". So Hula's it was. An old-school style roadside stand with outdoor seating (order at the window) and indoor table service, Hula's menu is so extensive that I understand the dilemma. Here, two of us opted for a cheeseburger (with fries), a cup of chili, and a side of sweet potato fries. Since every meal comes with a surprise complimentary mini soft-serve ice cream cup there's zero chance of leaving Hula's hungry. In fact, if you're headed off to hike in Yosemite carb up here. The food is hearty and satisfying. I rated the chili merely "fine" but the burger received praise as did the accompanying fries and that side of sweet potato fries (with Ranch dressing). And free soft serve ice cream is never anything but great. Chances I'd head back for lunch at Hula's were I again passing through Escalon are quite high. The locals recommend it and now, so does the out-of-towner. read more

The food was great!! Has a bacon cheeseburger and perfectly cooked fries!! Service was fast and great!!

Waitress was so nice and provided great customer service. It was the kitchen who messed up our order. Food was average. I'm not sure about the vibe: there were alot of things to look at as far as decor. It definitely has character but it doesn't look or feel clean. It was a one and done for me. I googled a review and the owner replied with a snarky comment. If you can't take HONEST reviews and then use them to improve your business, you shouldn't be in business!!! **After posting THIS honest review the owner TONY V. whose address was easy to find, sent me a private, nasty message. Immature, unprofessional and will reap what he sows. read more

Small place. Outside eating is best. If you eat inside you will be discouraged. Dirty, run down decor. Ketchup bottle at our table was filthy,everything was sticky and only the cook and a server working. Turkey sandwich was good but couldn't really get my mouth around it so each bite was either bread and lettuce or bread and tomato with a little turkey. Ordered a cup of broccoli cheddar soup and it was so thin and runny it was like broccoli milk. Ended up throwing away the soup after 2 spoonfuls. 5 dollars down the drain. Such a shame. If I pretended not to see the inside I would come back maybe... probably will not return. read more

Service was outstanding - thank you Gabby! Food proportions were huge. The chipotle burger came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, avo, cheese, jalapeno, and a massive chunk of chicken. Bun was good, too. A touch heavy on the mayo but that was on me for not asking for less. read more

Went there early with my dog & a friend on Fathers Day, the food is always good and their prices seem to be reasonable when compared to other options. Hula's describes itself as dog friendly, usually they are but this time the girl didn't offer my dog water or ask if I'd like to order something for him. My friend and I ordered our food and when she brought it out to us she put two sausage patties next to my biscuits & gravy, I thought they came with the biscuits & gravy but they don't, my friend actually ordered sausage patties as a side dish and I started eating one by accident since she put them in front of the wrong person. How embarrassing. My friend picked up the check so I left a $12 tip on the $27 meal, I wasn't going to embarrass my friend by leaving a small tip even though the service warranted it. She never even asked if we wanted a warmup on our coffees while we were there. read more

Breakfast is the best! Also recommend any of the burgers! This place deserves a well 5 star great customer service read more

Great food, nice people. Met owner, Tony. Hard working guy. Give him your business. Burger was delicious and well dressed. Wait staff very friendly. Nice patio seating in front. Skip the chain places and support local businesses like this. Will be returning soon to try other menu items. read more

Hula's is an Escalon classic. If you're passing through or you're looking for a place to eat a nice burger or sandwich, Hula's is the place! Growing up, I always loved getting the milkshakes because they are the best milk shakes in town! The last couple of time I have done I decided to branch out and get a sandwhich. I was a bit disappointed because I had ordered the chicken avocado sandwhich and I asked to add bacon to it then I upgraded my fries to garlic fries. I did not receive avocado in my chicken AVOCADO sandwhich and I did not receive garlic fries, yet I was charged. I decided to let it go because I grew up there and I knew everyone there, but I left disappointed. Luckily, I changed my order to a BLT and asked for avocado plus the garlic fry upgrade and everything was correct! The service is always wonderful and the atmosphere is always nice. Will I be back? Yes. read more

My husband and I came from a 4 day weekend at Yosemite, and let me tell you, this was the best food we've eaten the entire weekend! We came across this place on our way home and honestly so glad we did! I ordered the Bacon Cheese Fries with extra bacon and got the side size. And let me tell you, the side was a lot! They def gave a lot! And it was so good. But what stole the show for me was the homemade soup! I got a cup of the Minestrone, oh man, it was literally THE BEST MINESTRONE I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Do yourself a favor and get a BOWL of the soup of the day you won't regret it!!! I def regretted not getting a bowl and ordered another cup because it was that good! My husband had the special of the day, which was the Filet Mignon skewers with onions, tomato and bell peppers with pineapple slices and teriyaki sauce with a side of rice. He loved it sooo much he ate the plate clean! Service was wonderful. All the servers were all super nice and gave great service. They try their best to give the best and I definitely recognize their hard work! Thank you for going above and beyond!!! I definitely look forward to the day I can come back here!!! read more

Saw a sign while driving down Escalon-Bellota road and looked this place up on the internet. The description sounded great so we decided we would check it out. We were not disappointed. I selected the bacon cheeseburger from the extensive menu but asked to add avocado. No problem. I got the 16oz banana shake and a refreshing glass of ice water. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband selected a bacon cheeseburger as well, accompanied by a glass of Mr. Pibb. He had zero complaints. We opted out of the included french fries and chose to share the tri-tip nachos fries. They came with tender chunks of tri-tip, thick nacho cheese and drizzled sour cream. Because we asked for no onions on the burgers, our server Patty had the pico put in a cup on the side (without our asking). Good thing because we didn't want it. She was very friendly and attentive and she made our first visit very pleasant. After being thoroughly stuffed with these massive 1/3lb burgers and fries, I was really wanting the hot fudge brownie dessert. We were pleasantly informed by our lovely server that a free cup of ice cream accompanies the bill. Check please! A swirl of soft serve ice cream in a little cup for each of us. One chocolate and one vanilla. I dumped mine into my almost empty banana shake cup and got my ice water to go. I overdid it for sure. If you're passing through Escalon on Hwy 120, this little place is worth the detour. Good food and friendly service but it was sweltering hot in there. read more

My server Alys, the cook Ricardo, and cashier Emma made me and my fiancés day! We stoped in for a quick bite to eat for the first time and was met with some of the best customer service with a smile and one of the very best double bacon mouth watering cheeseburgers that I have ever tasted! Alys was on top of her game, made me feel like I was family! She manicured our table really well and made sure our drinks was always full and also made sure we had everything possible to enjoy our lunch! Emma was great also and made sure to let us know that she would love to see us back soon! 10+ stars for this awesome establishment in the heart of Escalon! Thanks for having employees like these 3 we can't wait to go back soon for some more tasty food and a nice home style friendly environment! read more

Love Hulas! My sister and I usually frequent this place when I'm in town and have never had a bad meal. Took our husbands with us last night and our meal was terrific, right off the grill and hot. Escalon burgers and patty melt. Always try something different. My husband loves soft serve ice cream and this is one of the few places that offers it. The memorabilia on the walls is a great appreciation to all that is Escalon and fun to look at. Also, our server Tommy was on top of everything and was the best! Thank you Hula's, we will be back! read more

Came this way to visit Lopez Imports and we ended up getting hungry so we searched for a place and this was super close. We stopped in and it looked great, nice shady outdoor seating and drive thru. We parked and walked up to the order window...but if you are eating dine-in you can take a menu and sit down for full service. Our waitress was great and friendly! The food was great, fast and delicious! We even tried the milkshakes which are also AMAZING. If you are in the area you need to check this place out! read more

Hula's - Pepper sirloin steak sandwich, super bomb With a side Homemade Chilly mmm! - American Near Me - Escalon, California

Hula burger and garlic fries are my go to. Anytime I'm coming thru Escalon I always have to stop.

I ordered a peppered steak sandwich w/ fries, and mozzarella sticks. The only thing good was the cheese sticks. The fries were soggy, the sandwich was nasty: the meat was grey/white no taste. Only 8 chunks of steak. No flavor. Overall $26 was a waste of money, I ended up after 3 bites throwing it away. Yuck. Gave 3 stars, because I havent had anything else there, so I cannot give anything less. read more
