Jolene's never disappoints. The food, drinks, and overall experience are always top-notch. Every time I go, I'm impressed by how fresh and flavorful everything is. The lobster and shrimp rolls are seriously delicious. The seafood is fresh, the roll is perfectly toasted, and the seasoning brings everything together just right. It's rich, satisfying, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-try on the menu. I also ordered the brown sugar milk tea, and it was really good. The sweetness was balanced, the flavor was smooth, and it had that classic brown sugar richness without being overpowering. A perfect drink to go with the rolls. The service is fast and efficient. Even when the place is busy, orders come out quickly and the staff keeps everything running smoothly. They're always friendly and make the experience easy and enjoyable. The ambiance is clean, bright, and inviting. Whether you're dining in or picking up food, the space feels modern and welcoming. It's a great spot for a casual meal with consistently great quality. If you're craving flavorful seafood and a solid milk tea, Jolene's is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

OMG! These were a couple of the best sandwiches we ever had. The lobster cheese melt is the one I got! And I got it with a side of the tomato bisque. My other half got the Birria Cheese Melt with Consommé. The girl we ordered from was so nice and friendly too. I also love the vibe they have going in the restaurant. Super modern and fun. But all in all, great food & great service! read more

You don't have to like seafood to visit. So I come here every so often to get the fries covered with either crawfish or lobster. And the brisket fries are good too. I've gotten their lobster rolls before and they are loaded with meat but I think it looks huge because the buns are small. Let's face it, I've been spoiled living in the east coast with lobster rolls and clam chowder. And the crazy thing is I don't remember seeing clam chowder at the restaurant. There are specials to save a couple of bucks because this place is a little pricey. But the one thing I get here is the smash burgers. Surprising I like the single patty. The double patty is just too much. But the taste is always there. The food is made to order so there is a slight wait time. And if you don't want to pay the extra money for a takeout bag, they will tie your packages together with ribbon tape. It's looks really fancy. Overall four stars. Food is good, service is good. The place is clean. Parking is convenient since you're in a mall type area. Now excuse me, time go gobble up these waffle fries. M read more

Great food and nice people. Dined a couple times while traveling through. Between the 4 of us, we tried 5 or 6 mains, the fries and the chowder. All of it was very tasty! (The fries were preferred to the chowder; they were very good). A compelling variety of options, too. Jolene's is a restaurant with great food, reasonable prices, and a unique charm. Would recommend. Would prioritize stopping back through (maybe even a couple times, again!), if I should have the opportunity to revisit the island. 5 stars. read more

If your looking for great desserts this is the place for you. All the desserts are delicious and staff are friendly. The main courses are lacking slightly and burgers too buttery. The lobster rolls are more hype than anything else but if you look at this place like a dessert place its way more enjoyable read more

I love it then and still love it now! Haven't gotten to the food yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Will update if anything.. ...OK..here's my "if anything" update..my hamburger steak was RAW! Had to flash it in the microwave to cook it some more! Chef was not "mindful" on the temp of my meat. So NOT "demure". Minus 2 s for the raw two patties. read more

AMAZING GRUB - Five Stars!!! No linen table cloths or fancy schmanzy lounge music or even table service here... Just highly remarkable and very well priced meals, plates, salads, sandwiches and side dishes in a seat yourself strip mall jewel. The corn chowder and Lobster Salad were the absolute best ever - likely unmatched by a more high end restaurant. Service was excellent too - ambience = strip mall w parking lot view next to Ross dress for less. I'd trade Jolene's for a beach front ocean view joint any day of the week!!! read more

The bread is so fresh, soft and sweet. The lobster and shrimp poboys are fresh and mixed with fresh crunch and tangy toppings it is a treat to your mouth.

This has become our go to place for office lunch. There's something fir everyone and the delivery makes it convenient for those of us who have trouble finding time for lunch. Ive found my favorite thing on the menu. The butter shrimp salad. The bug fat juicy seasoned shrimp on tossed treens with nice pickled radish. Omg sooo good. I like the shoyu dressing but my colleagues like the spicy aioli. The best thing is you get both with your order so you can play around with the flavors. A big full salad is a great deal at less than $20. read more

Customer Service Superb! Flavors superb! Location in Ewa Superb! This is our third time to this location and each time we go in they are so friendly. They are willing to help with recommendations and know their menu if we have a question. I had the salt and pepper pork chops and my husband had the buttah lobstah rolls. Both were brought to us wrapped in a little Jolene's bow. So cute! My pork chops could have used a little more salt but the presentation was pretty. Husband always gets the same thing and he loves it. I love the Pineapple Slushy! read more

The ambiance was very nice I liked the greenery, the restaurant smelled great. There were a lot of customers on a Saturday at 1. The cashier was very friendly and helpful she recommended the tomato bisque that was a really good side choice 10/10. Other than the food taking 25 min it seemed worth the wait. G gave the chicken sandwich a 7/10 said he rather have raising canes. B gave the pastrami a 7/10. The fries was 9/10! Asked if they would come back they said yes! Next visit I'd like to try the lobster roll. :-) this place is pretty good for the price. And If you don't know what to order ask the cashier with the pretty smile. read more

From the moment I walked in we were instantly greeted and WELCOMED! I did not get the persons name who helped us but her customer service is spot on! From start to finish she was awesome! As for the food....AH.....MAZING. Decided to try the pork sandwich and all I can say is 100000/10chefs kiss, kudos to the cook(s). All in all I would recommend this place to all! Good Job Jolene's read more

We had the chicken sandwich, corn chowder and Cajun fries and they were delicious. I'm glad we split this because it was allot of food.

Excellent! Service was great and the food was amazing! I love grilled cheese and I was told Jolene's was worth a try. I did love it but a lot of bread to cheese ratio but I am ok with that. My son had the lobster roll. A fan for sure!! read more

Have had Jolene's on my list of places to try and finally made it to their Ewa Beach location. It's a small space, located in the Laulani shopping center, in old Teddy's spot and next to Rainbow Drive-In. Everything on their menu sounded so delicious but ended up getting an order of the brisket fries and the buttah shrimp salad to go. Less than 10 minutes later we were notified that our order was ready. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and I enjoyed both the house and oriental dressings for the salad. The brisket fries are hefty, with lots of smoked bbq brisket atop crisp waffle fries. Really excited to try more of their dishes!! read more

Jolenes is located in the Laulani Village Shopping Center. It is next to Rainbow Drive Inn. My Niece had mentioned to my wife that there was a Jolenes in Ewa Beach. Let me start off by giving our order taker Heather a high five for her friendly and effeciant service. I ordered the Pastrami Melt , my wife had the Crab Roll. The Pastrami comes on thick sliced toasted bread. Filled with a good amount of cheese and pastrami. This sandwich I would buy again. As for the Crab Roll It had a soft bun and tasted good. It was the 22 dollar price point which made it had to swallow. If you're not pinching dollars go for it. Enjoy read more

Small little restaurant in the Laulani shopping center. Service was friendly and they actually got my order ready once I got there. I got the lobster melt and their special honeydew slushy. Slushy was a little sweet for me. I like that they have a lot of options for drinks. I'll get their Thai iced tea next time. Lobster melt was good but I think it's even better if you eat it and and you eat it right away. I'll definitely come back to try their lobster roll. read more

Yikes, overdue review! Tried them when they first opened and have gone back at least a dozen times since! Yeah, shame on me; I thought I reviewed already!! Seriously everything we've had here is soooo good but let's step through what we've had! The queen of all sandwiches, the lobster roll. I treasure each bite of this amazing sandwich! Cost wise, well, it's lobster lol. But I can honestly say, while I can't have this every day, I most certainly would if I could! Buttah shrimp roll is my hubs' go to. Shrimp is the only seafood he eats so this is what he gets when I get the lobster roll. Just as good, but shrimp version. Birria cheese melt, so full of gooey cheese and delicious meaty filling! The birria sauce is the best we've had (tried 4 others from here to Honolulu) but I do prefer if it was a bit thicker. Birria wontons taste very similar to the melt except crispy shell instead of buttery bread. So it depends on our mood which we get. Lobster melt is probably our least favorite primarily because you can't taste the lobster as well when it's wrapped in all the cheese. Still delicious but not AS delicious as the other menu items we've had. Pastrami melt puts a Ruben to shame. Drool city. The warm zesty pastrami, melded with the bold cheese flavors and sweetened with the caramel used onions, soooo good! Brisket melt is just as drool worthy but in a less tangy and more smoky way. BBQ Brisket moco. Oh. My. Gosh. What a great rendition! Classic is still going to be my fave but if I'm venturing into a more unique moco flavor, this is definitely high on the list! The brisket is so tender and smoky flavorful. And the gravy is clearly blessed with that rich goodness from the brisket trimmings! BBQ brisket fries... not our favorite way to have the brisket here as it's probably the least juicy version of the brisket moco, brisket melt, and brisket burger. They do warn you that the fries don't necessarily travel well if you're getting delivery and I would say that is accurate. Much better fresh from the restaurant. And last but not least, the papa smokes burger... 2 patties, slice of that juicy brisket, bacon and fried egg (by request), and more of that gooey cheese. When we want a burger delivered, this is the one we get! Oh, and can we agree that the Jolene's paper bag is so cute!? Very sturdy for those hefty meals! Ok phew, did I convince you to try them yet? Thank you, Jolene's, for being an awesome local go to! read more

11/08/23 - I can't believe I spent $20 on a sandwich. I had the lobster melt with brown sugar milk tea. It was very surprisingly good and tasty. Not greasy or over mayonnaised. The lobster actually tasted like real lobster. Now I know why cost that much. The milk tea was okay. It was more tea with a hint of brown sugar but smooth. We had take out and someone else picked up my lunch. He said service was very good, the workers were nice and the wait wasn't long. read more

We heard this place makes the best, or one of the best Lobster rolls, amongst other delicious food. Since I live in the area, I thought I give it a try. Lots of parking, when we went and it's conveniently located in the corner, can't miss it. Upon entering we were greeted by the employees and since it was our first time, we took some time to study the menu. Of course we ordered the lobster rolls, a beef sandwich and won ton appetite, (sorry can't think of the name) which consists of meat and cheese. The food was delicious and I enjoyed it. The meal was pricey but was well worth it. If you're in the mood for lobster roll and soul food, I recommend this place. read more

If you're craving a hearty seafood meal and want something that's tastes fresh and amazing you need to visit Jolene's! I've heard rave reviews about the Chinatown locations so I had to try it out for myself. The staff were wonderful and have great customer service skills and were helpful with questions about pairings. We ordered the lobster rolls and brown sugar boba. I couldn't decide on what side to get with the lobster roll and the cashier commended the soup. I am glad that I went with her suggestion because the meal was so filling and satisfying! read more

Jolene's - Lobster roll - Burgers Near Me - Ewa Beach, Hawaii

This is my first review on yelp and I felt that it was well-deserved. I ordered a birria cheese melt through UberEats for the first time, and noticed that the consommé dipping broth was not in the bag when I went into my home. I called the store and the workers went out of their way to personally get the sauce delivered to me. And even threw in a free birria wonton plate. Both were completely amazing and did not disappoint! The birria was so juicy and melted in my mouth! My kids loved it as well! So glad that they delivered sauce but took a bite of the cheese melt and it was just as good by itself; the consommé was the icing on the cake though! Also, I usually order their lobster roll or lobster cheese melt with corn chowder. Love it! I frequently order their drinks as well. Their Thai tea with condensed milk walls as well as their brown sugar milk tea and brown sugar cookie butter with boba (my kids ask for it alll the time) and it never disappoints! By far one of the best Thai teas I've tried, which is why I keep going back! Also, food is ALWAYS packed with care! The details in the ribbon they tie at the top of the bag as well as the design of the bag, boba cups, and even the deli paper used in the plates! AMAZING! Thank you for the great service and great food/boba! read more

Got my lobster roll fix with waffle fries and both were very fulfilling. When I know I can splurge on food, I'll make a stop at Jolene's.

Seen the reviews of this restaurant and decided to give it a try. It was simply okay. Nothing special and a bit pricey. However, the service is great! Very friendly! We ordered the buttah lobster roll and the birria/consommé melt. With a couple drinks it was nearly $50. On the menu it says you can make it a combo with various sides for a discounted price. However, drinks are sold separately. Doesn't a combo usually come with a side and drink? Lol The buttah lobster roll was good, it had actual pieces of lobster, sitting on a slaw in a toasted bun. Not sure it was worth $22 though. The birria consommé melt was mmmm EXTREMELY oily. I couldn't even finish the other half, it was too much. I took a bite and the bread was oozing with oil/butter. The girl working the front area touched her face and rubbed her eyes several times and then proceeded to handle food. There's a sink right there. Yikes! "Jolene's Jolene's Jolene's JO-LEEE-HEENS!...." Please keep it sanitary and wash your haaaa-ahhhhnds! Will try something new next time, thank you Jolene's! read more

I read rave reviews of their Chinatown location. My son gave great reports of their airport location and had me try their Birria wonton. So, I decided to give their Ewa Beach location a try since it's right down the road from where I live. Grilled cheese (the best comfort food, IMO). You can't mess up grilled cheese and their sandwich was well-prepared. Birria wontons (Ewa Beach location): The meat tasted like REGULAR beef stew meat. Not birria stewed meat. The portion placed in each wrapper complimented the wrapper only because it (meat) was less than 1/4 of the wonton. The birria broth was a letdown too. Mind you, this is comparing it to the airport location who gave you your money's worth. Do you know what is more disappointing? This is my first review of 2022 and I rarely ever write mediocre reviews. Three stars because they prepared the order quickly and the grilled cheese as always comforted me. I'll try again later because I'm hoping today was just one of those off days for this location. read more

Finally got to try Jolene's and it didn't disappoint! I decide to go a healthier route and ordered the buttah shrimp salad ($14.00). I opted with the oriental sauce. We also got a fried chicken sandwich with curly fries ($15.00) Our takeout order was ready quick. The food was packaged nicely as well. The salad was pretty good, it was a bit peppery for my liking though. The shrimp was bomb. The chicken sandwich was huge. There was two pieces of chicken. The sauce was tasty and flavorful. Overall, I had a good first experience and will definitely come back to try their other items on the menu. read more

Once a month we treat ourselves to a delicious meal at Jolene's Ewa Beach. Located at the Laulani Village in Ewa Beach. Lots of parking and open from 10 am 8 pm everyday. From the moment you enter the restaurant, I found it to be a rather cute little-comfy place to dine. Lots of choices on the menu with seats that could probably accommodate small groups inside and outside of the restaurant. I especially like ordering online for pick up. So convenient especially when it's crowded on the weekends. Looking forward to trying the Lobster salad on the next sitting. Thanks Jolene's for your friendly service and delicious food!! read more

Been having there lobster rolls for a long time since they only had there down town location now closer to home in ewa beach. I've switch from lobster rolls to lobster melt both is good but for me melt over rolls. They also have other food items in the menu to try but in all it's been good. Once you go in at the Ewa beach location the crew there is welcoming and takes your order with good manners even on phone and I must say the cooks are pretty quick to on getting the food out. Pretty chill spot and in and outdoor seating available check them out for yourself and get that Jolene experience. read more

The last time I came to this location it was during their grand opening. So several years ago. Recently, I was shopping in Safeway and I was thinking of eating here for lunch. I remember that my husband and I chose not to come back to this location. During the grand opening, the food was not memorable at all. I checked the reviews for Joleen's and I went based off of that. Most of the reviews on here are 5 star reviews so it must be good right??? I had ordered two things. I ordered a hamburger steak and I ordered a roast beef sandwich. Where do I begin on the hamburger steak? They do not know how to prepare a simple local dish. The rice was so soggy that I thought I was eating oatmeal meal. The rice smelled spoiled and sour. I moved my hamburger patty to the side and realized that the rice was soaking in some type of vinegar. I was thinking to myself was this meant for people or slop to feed it to pigs? This hamburger steak was not edible at all. The ground beef had a funny taste and the gravy was a disappointment. Let's not forget that vinegar rice. I was dry heaving just smelling the plate. I than moved on to the sandwich that I purchased. I could have gotten a better sandwich at Subway and paid half the price. Not even the waffle fries were memorable. I wasted almost $40. I couldn't even give the food to my dogs. Unfortunately, this location is a no for me. I will not be returning here again. I honestly don't understand how this location is getting a five star rating review? Unless this is the employees or family members leaving the reviews. After the experience that I went through with the hamburger steak and the sandwich, I am still trying to find out how most of these reviews are rated 5 stars. Update... i had several reactions to left based on my review on this business. Makes me think it might be the employees and family or friends leaving the 5 star reviews. read more
