We didn't expect to find a food stand along the road to the southernmost point in the country. What…read morea great find! To get freshly made some spam musubi, a warm slice of homemade banana bread and shaved ice after visiting such a beautiful part of the island is definitely the cherry on top. The musubi has the perfect rice to spam ratio and great sauce. The banana bread was moist, perfectly sweetened, and has lots of banana in it. And everything was reasonably priced. The boy who was making the musubi for us was very nice and friendly. I'm so surprised this place hadn't been added to Yelp yet. Anyway, I do hope this review will help others find this gem and bring more business to the food stand.

I want it all! Let me preface by saying Linda and her husband (aka @sweetkine808) are for real…read morefoodies! Trust and believe me when I say if something is on their menu, it's INCREDIBLE! That said, let's start things off with that cannoli waffle (first pic) special! I'm actually gasping for air because that cannoli waffle left me breathless. Their homemade waffle shells are a work of art in itself, but that cannoli cream filling, which I'm going to assume had ricotta cheese in it, was absolutely sensational. The filling was velvety, rich, and sweet, and the ricotta cheese added a lovely mild nutty flavor. I also tasted a slight tang, so I'm wondering if they used mascarpone too. Whatever they did, they need to keep doing it! The chocolate chips not only added crunch but also added contrast because the cocoa flavor had a slight bitterness, so overall, it was very umami. Then they want to top it all off with whipped cream and caramel? Really! Just start a subscription service so I can subscribe. I will ask how long this will be on the menu, and I'll keep you all posted. I am OBSESSED, so hopefully, it's a permanent item, but if not, at least for another month Now let's shift focus to pic # 2, which is the MacChick with Maple Cinnamon Butter. So it's their homemade waffle cone stuffed with homemade mac & cheese, topped with fried chicken drenched in maple cinnamon butter. If I put you on to anything, let it be this! This is my new go-to MacChick (sounds like magic) combination. Heads up, @sweetkine808, I will be ordering this every time. The savory and sweet notes between the well-seasoned chicken and mouthwatering mac & cheese harmonized and blended so well with the sweet maple cinnamon butter and dusting of powdered sugar. I am not joking. If you see me in line, best believe I'm ordering this. You might as well name it the Kaliko Pic # 3 was the Chick-N-Sauce with BBQ Sauce Thoughts: Let me make this clear as well. Their fried chicken is really frickin good. That said, I need to ask if they make their own BBQ sauce cause this was ono loa! Pic # 4 was the Chick-N-Sauce with Ranch Sauce Thoughts: Honestly, what can I say at this point? I'm just going to give them applause Pic # 5 is the South Point lemonade which is a peach and lemon-flavored lemonade shaker. Pic # 6 is the Cherry Limeade Their lemonade drinks are so flavorful and refreshing. I can't wait to try them all. I may have to try that ube one next. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cogt_rhsOF1/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

If you're going to visit Kaimu Black Sand Beach, and you really should, you'll be stopping at…read moreUncle's Awa Club for a drink or two. Years ago, in the mid to late 20th century, I was what was called a "Deadhead." I would follow the Grateful Dead around going to concerts, and that was different than going to a single rock concert on a single night. The Grateful Dead's following were hordes of hippies partaking 1960s drugs like marijuana, a tie dyed bouquet of unwashed, barefoot, flower power, peace lovers. But like many Deadheads, I secretly had a job, and when my time on the road with them had to end, I would walk, then drive away. Their concerts were so well attended that it seemed like it took forever to get far enough away to not be surrounded by long-haired hippy freaks. We'd see a show in Tinley Park and miles away at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago we would get on an elevator full of tie-dyed Deadheads reeking of ganja and post concert sweat. Well, decades later, here at Uncle's Awa Club, I looked around at the people who live and work here and thought "oh my, were they all at the last Grateful Dead concert I went to?" Actually, they're all too young to even remember Phish, but this is some sort of impromptu nouveau hippy commune.

Now realize it is not a brick and mortar eatery it is more like a food truck feel. They do have plenty of parking and outdoor picnic style tables. I love it but I don't eat there I only take away. Usually order a plate lunch and take home a whole chicken. Don't know where he gets his chickens but they are the biggest I have never seen lol. The chicken is so large that I use one half for a Randy's Huli Huli Chili. Yummy. The other half I freeze to use later for maybe an enchilada dish or just re heat and serve with rice. Highly recommend for locals (realizing all locals know about Randy's) and certainly worth the while for visitors.

The owner/operator is there serving hot made to order dogs. He is closed Wednesday and Sunday (makes sense as his booth is in the parking lot of a church). It appeared to be a popular local spot, we were the only tourists, and listened to the local chatter. We both ordered the Portuguese dog, which is large, with cheese. He fries it right on the grilled bun. We took ours over to the local park, he wrapped them in foil for us. The dogs were $10 each, and we probably should have shared. For the pricy island, a good deal for lunch!
