Pros: Tik tok was not wrong. This place is so good. My husband only wants to eat his lobster rolls prepared this way from now on. Cold in garlic butter. But fusion style with a banh mi. So it comes with pickled carrots and herbs. Corn chowder was savory and salty. Perfection. Cons: no complaints. The price maybe? $39 for lobster roll, corn chowder, water, staff tip. But it wasn't that bad. read more

This review is for takeout. I made a phone order for pick up. The person taking our order was very pleasant. The food was ready in the amount of time that was stated. When I went to pick up the food, I noticed they were packaged nicely. I like how they waited for me to arrive to make the boba drink. Everything tasted so good. Will come back to try other food on the menu. read more

@fortunefoodfinds: "Weekends are much BUTTER when you get to do the things you LOB(ster)! One of them being for me is going out n' eating good with my famILY while supporting local. We made a visit to Jolene's Hawaii in Ewa Beach n' I ordered a Buttah Lobster Roll + Waffle Fries with Creamy Sauce n' Birria Wontons + Consomme. I gotta say aside from the chunky garlic buttah n' meaty lobstah, the Asian style pickled veggies in the roll, give the crunchy texture n' next level flavor that is deliciously out of control!" SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: small, table seating can get filled up quickly, nice decor, the best is they have a sink to easily wash your hands EXTERIOR: in the same plaza as Ross, has picnic style tables on the side of restaurant + one right in front WAIT TIME: 15 mins between placing order n' receiving food PARKING: large free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: my go-to is their buttah lobster roll, which always hits the spot. Everything about it is delicious. I make it a combo n' either get the corn chowder or waffle fries, which are both great complimenting sides. The birria wontons are crispy n' make a nice appetizer or side to any meal. Especially with the consommé, full of flavor with a mild heat. Jolene's always has lots of good food n' drinks to choose from! read more

I come here 2x a week ordering a hongkong milk tea without boba. But before that I have tried most of Jolene's food and it never disappoints me. Soo good! I started eating at Jolene's when I used to live in town. But when I move back to Ewa beach, I was so happy they have my favorite lobster roll. Soooo good. But anyways. The staff is so nice every time I come on tuesdays and Thursday they know my order. lol such a nice feeling knowing they recognized. So I will always be their forever customer. read more

Jolene's is a trendy eatery that offers burgers, sandwiches, and comfort food like corn chowder. We usually make our way to Jolene's whenever we crave for their tasty lobster rolls and cheesy grilled cheese sandwich! We love coming and eating in here as the staff are friendly and we love the atmosphere. I do suggest ordering online if you're doing take-out as it can get pretty busy and there may be a bit of a wait for your food! What we ordered: -Buttah Lobster Roll -Classic Grilled Cheese (we made it a combo with waffle fries) -Mozzarella Sticks -Thai Milk Tea read more

Saw a tik tok of this place and came here for dinner same day. Ordered the birria melt and a single patty buttah burger with waffle fries. The birria melt was nice, cheesy, and warm. But I think any hispanic person like me and especially from southern california can agree that this does not taste like birria at all. It just tastes like beef and beef broth, nonetheless it was still good-ish. I'll give them a pass because the restaurant isn't meant to be hispanic food anyways and I believe there is not much mexican food in oahu but I can be wrong about that. The burger was my favorite of the two things I ordered. Fries were yummy too. The ranch does not seem house made nor is refrigerated so take that into consideration. One thing I noticed is that there was very light shredded lettuce on the burger so next time I would also for extra? But it was okay the sauce on the burger made it so good. The workers were pretty nice and I even saw one come around and ask every table if they needed anything else. Fun upbeat music playing in the background also. I did not ask, but it seemed like there was no customer restrooms so I just went to the safeway next door. read more

Great first time experience! My boyfriend picked this place and we enjoyed our meal. The brisket in the bbq brisket melt was flavorful and the toast was crispy and super soft. My boyfriend got the burger with the brisket pieces (I think it was big kahuna ??) the burger was a big portion. The burger patty was thick and seasoned very well. The brisket was a good mix of fatty and lean pieces. This was by far our favorite burger from here! We also tried the pastrami roll and it wasn't a favorite but we would recommend it for anyone who wants to give their pastrami a try. Waffle fries were also good and paired well with the special house sauce. Service was great overall ! We were given good recommendations and I liked that the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu items. Restaurant was clean inside and had plenty of space. Quiet enough to have a date night but casual enough to enjoy a nice messy burger. 10/10 would love to come back and try everything else especially the birria melt read more

Tried the fried chicken sandwich and oh my lord... it was HUGE. I swear there were like 4-5 chunks/strips of food ole fried chicken in there, and the fixings were out of this world. It came out hot and fresh. Everything I've tried here has been so good. My friend loves the lobster roll and refuses to order anything else. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Trust me, your hands will get messy from all the juiciness--but no worries, there's a sink inside the restaurant so you can wash up. Water cups are $0.50, but totally worth it since the cups are extra cute and reusable. Also, the brisket sandwich deserves a recognition, it has a nice, thick slab of brisket. Waffle fries are $4 extra, but they complement pretty much anything you order. At this point, I need to make a copy of the menu and cross off items as I try them. I'm convinced everything on the menu is scrumptious. read more

If you are in the mood for the most delicious lobster roll check Jolene's out in Ewa! The flavors pair so well with the juicy lobster and the fresh crisp vegetables. I love to pair it with their slushy. Jolene's has a cute atmosphere with seating options in side of the restaurant. I went with friends and the service was quick. read more

Yummy food with great service! Inside seating is limited but we were lucky to snag the last table open prior to ordering. We tried the butter lobster roll, birria wontons, and lobster melt with tomato bisque. I had a honey lemon iced tea with our meal and of course had to take some boba to go! I got the cookie butter (very sweet and a little thick) but it was delicious! Hubby got the brown sugar boba and he loved it. Overall I was so happy to finally try this place. I only wish they had lobster rolls that are served warm. Maybe they do, but I didn't see it? I'll definitely be back again- everything was delicious! read more

This place was 10/10 all around. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, service was excellent. We were given menu suggestions, allergies were taken seriously, and she truly did help us find foods that fit our flavor preferences. I got the spicy chicken melt and my gosh was it good. The chicken was crisp, juicy, and the gochujang sauce was DELICIOUS! My husband got the double down and said that it was incredible. The pastrami to brisket ratio was perfect and they added just the right amount of bbq sauce to enhance the meat flavors but not over power. My daughter also loved her grilled cheese. It was definitely more cheese than bread and she even tried tomato soup for the first time- also loved it. We also took a gamble and tried the toast of the month. I will admit I'm not a big "fake strawberry" flavor girl so I was worried I wouldn't like it but it was delicious. It's also the perfect size for sharing! The cook here really knows how to combine flavors and make perfect ratios for sure. We ate in- place was spotless, smelled nice, and was very fun and "Instagram" like if you're into that sort of stuff. We genuinely can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Came here for lunch for the first time and I opted for the buttah burger. I believe I had their lobster roll long time ago when they were downtown and I remember liking it. Anyways, didn't know they had other locations. Walked in, easy to order the cashier was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. I noticed they had a lot of anime figurines around the space which was cool AND they have a clean sink which was nice to wash your hands before you eat. Convenient. Good came out pretty quick and it was tasty! I had a single burger. It had like a thousand Island dressing sauce and some pickled vege! The kine on a viet sandwich which went well with the burger - gave it some crunch and tangyness which I liked. I also got side of corn chowder which was good. A little on the thinner side but taste was there. I'd be happy to go eat here again if in the area. read more

Great little spot to have some burgers, plate lunches or lobster rolls. Very casual spot that is perfect for a quick brunch to meet with friends.

Amazing service and staff was quick to address an issue with my order! Ordered online for the buttah lobster roll and the bbq brisket fries. I swore I requested no onions on the buttah lobster roll and when I got home there were onions! I drove back and told them that I ordered online and requested no onions and asked for them to remake the sandwich. I was quite heated but when they checked they said my order did not show the request to hold the onions. I was even more heated but with myself! After all that they still were willing to remake the sandwich!!!! Super disappointed with myself but very grateful that they did that for me! Buttah lobster roll is delicious - it's served cold and comes with chunks of lobster topped with pickled veggies, sliced onions, cilantro and a lemon wedge. There's no modifications such as asking to have lobster warmed or served without mayo. But you can remove items (onions, cilantro etc.) just make sure to ask! BBQ Brisket fries are a generous portion of waffle fries topped with their brisket and drizzled with BBQ sauce. One order easily can be shared between two hungry adults! BBQ sauce is tangy and brisket is tender and flavorful. This place is a bit pricey but overall I'd recommend it based on flavor but mostly based on their customer service! read more

We stoped by on our drive across the island. Everyone enjoyed their food, but the drinks became the star of the show. The kids ordered the Mango Slushies and my husband ordered the cookie butter milk tea and they were all so good! The service was a little slow but I know everyone was trying their best, they were very busy. It was a cute little spot but it could be hard to find seating during busy times. When we walked in there were no tables but luckily when we got our food some had opened up. read more

This was our first stop when we arrived on the island (Oahu) for vacation my kids (both young adults in their 20s now) had never been to Hawaii and wanted to experience the island cuisine and culture in an authentic way before being inundated with the tourist traps surrounding downtown Honolulu. And so we came to jolene's for a casual lunch. Jolene's is situated in the middle of a large shopping center and would not necessarily stand out if you weren't looking for it. It is a great place if you're looking for a quick coffee and sandwich or a lunch plate. My family really enjoyed the food and the casual atmosphere we got here. They had a clean facility, friendly staff, and tasty food choices. My wife opted for one of their burgers. I think she chose the buttah-burger. She loved it. My daughter opted for the lobster roll, which is a traditional East Coast style lobster sandwich. My son and I opted for more traditional island fare so we ordered...Loco Moco and a smoked pork plate. There were both Fantastic. For most items, we paid between $10-$20. It was a cool place to eat and a nice first experience for the kids with local island style dining. When we come back we will try to check this place out again. read more

Got crawfish roll. It tasted old. I don't expect it to be fresh, but I do expect it to at least not have a bad and old taste to it. Adding lemon to it didn't help. Also ordered the brisket plate. The pickled veggies with its sauce had so much vinegar, it was overwhelming. The rice and brisket were covered in it. It threw the entire taste off and was disappointed. The sad part is that we ordered this when they opened. So not sure how the quality at opening hour could be this bad read more

I got here during lunch hours. No line which was nice. Inside's ambiance is nice and upbeat. Staff were efficient and quick. There were a lot of flies around as I sat for my order. I ordered the Louisiana Buttah Roll. The crawfish was buttery and garlicky with a good balance of tangy slaw and soft roll. The best thing was that there was no sluggish feeling. No kanaks today! read more

The BBQ Brisket Melt at Jolene's in ʻEwa Beach is SO good! Easily one of my go-to lunch spots. The brisket is tender, flavorful, and perfectly sauced, and the melt is just the right balance of savory and comforting. Every bite hits, and it's always satisfying. The only small thing I wish is that fries came with the meal instead of being a separate add-on -- but honestly, it's still worth it every time. On top of the great food, the customer service is excellent. Friendly, welcoming, and efficient they really make you feel taken care of. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving a solid, flavorful lunch! read more

Update: I called the restaurant and talked with the manager and she explained that they wash the lettuce and dry with napkin so that could be why the napkin was in the bun. She said she will talk with staff to make sure they check more carefully for such things. She did comp the burger for me and gave credit for my next visit. We got an order for curbside pickup (online order) and took it home. Started to serve everyone and took a bite into a soggy bun. Opened the bun to find a soaked napkin placed inside the hamburger! read more

Today I ordered a garlic shrimp plate, it was supposed to come with rice and a "toss salad." Sad to report that the toss salad was a salad in name only and was more of garnish. It's a small amount of shredded lettuce with a bite of pickles that they put the hot shrimp on top of, which causes it to essentially cook. read more

We got takeout & they exceeded my expectations. We would have eaten there but we were actually exhausted from a long day sightseeing and exploring, we just wanted to get to the resort and relax. The establishment looks very clean and feels inviting. The neon wall and wall art and very nice touches. They have a very good menu- so many tasty options. I ordered the buttah lobster roll with fries and my partner ordered the brisket melt. My partner is a tough food critic specially with meats. He hates chewy cartilaginous pieces, overcooked, under-seasoned and sloppy food- he loved his brisket melt. Zero complaints. Everything was flavorful, delicious and fresh. The girl that was taking the orders was patient, so sweet, kind and even gave me a compliment. If you're in Oahu, skip the dining in waikiki and support the local hidden gems like Jolene's. I highly recommend and will absolutely return when I go back to Oahu. In the meantime I'll be craving and thinking about their food in Miami. Mahalo for the ono grindz. read more

After getting our refreshing matcha drinks from Pua Blooms, my dad and I grabbed some lunch. My dad has never had their lobster rolls before, so I treated him to some and he thoroughly enjoyed it! - ($.): New England styled butter lobster roll with a house baked bread layered with a bed of fresh lettuce, onions, and asian-styled pickled vegetables topped with their lobster mix, garlic butter, chopped cilantro, and a sliced lemon - The rolls came out about 10-15min after we ordered, so they were nice and slightly warm once we got to eat them! The staff were quick and packed the items very nicely. The veggies add balance to the lobster mix as it provides a fresh, zesty and acidic taste to the buttery lobster and warm bread There is a lot of parking out front that is free. The inside is not the biggest, so either take it out or avoid bringing big groups. - at various locations on O'ahu, HI in Honolulu, Ewa Beach, and Kaneohe (their Chinatown location is permanently closed) read more
