I love the mashed potatoes there and the chicken is heavenly I think it is really good but there could be more vegan options and also I don't really know where it is the only place I had it at was ala Moana food court and the airport to Portland read more

Stopped in here as one of the few restaurant options that was open before I hopped a flight for a work trip. I've had Lahaina Chicken Company before at the Ala Moana food court, and I know I liked that dish, so I approached this opportunity with high expectations. The first bad sign was the fact that this location didn't have mac n cheese. If there was one food I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be mac n cheese, and I knew Lahaina had it, so you could imagine my extreme disappointment when this location didn't. It looked like I had two options - the carved meat side or the pasta/pizza side. Given that pasta was closer to mac n cheese in this moment, I opted for the latter. The second bad sign was the extremely unhappy woman working here. I have a pretty positive demeanor when it comes to customer service interactions, but no amount of positivity was bringing her up from that grumpy mood, so I made my order, and asked if I could get a bottled water instead of a cup, even at some extra cost. Apparently this was impossible (perhaps some airport scheme at work here), so I paid for my exceptionally overpriced meal and sat at one of the (not particularly clean) tables to scarf it down before my flight. The third bad sign: the salad tasted exactly like what you get from the salad bar in elementary school. It was so plain, it left a bad taste in my mouth. The only real merit to the lasagna was that it was heavy and filling, but definitely not an outstanding dish. Now for the positive - the roll I got with it definitely met my bread expectations: warm, buttery, garlicky, and soft. I guess I can recommend this Lahaina location if you need something filling and aren't picky about quality in the airport, mostly because it's really the only option there. read more

Lahaina Chicken - Lasagna and salad - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Was so impressed eating here after landing that I planned a meal before takeoff a week later! As other reviewers have noted, the staff is helpful, the food is good, and the portions are generous. For a picky eater like me, the option to fill up on carbs and meat is perfect. Overpriced? Yes. And depending on the time of day some of the meat is a little dry. But it's still some of the best airport food you'll get at tamest price, and you'll be happy and full on your flight. read more

Lahaina Chicken - A feast!! - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Good food, yummy prime-rib, chicken, and many sides to choose from. I always purchase this before boarding our plane to return home from Oahu. Lahaina Chicken is also in the Ala Moana Mall in Honolulu, very good as well. The price is not cheap, but you get a lot of food for your buck. read more

Tasteless bland food. Basic cafeteria meal. The portion is huge but who cares if it tastes like crap.

Half roasted chicken - dark meat for $15.99! It comes with 3 sides! It's located near Gate 15 and the price, portion, and food is not bad for airplane food! The chicken was moist and all the sides were pretty decent! The set up is kind of like a restaurant in a food court you kind of tell them what you want and hey load the plate as you move down the line. I think it was a pretty decent find considering being at an airport. read more

Lahaina Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food: great Customer service: lacking Went and got (prime rib) with 2 sides of mashed potatoes. I asked the lady if I could have gravy, and she said she already gave me some. But I never saw her do it! I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking I just didn't see her put gravy on my DRY mashed potatoes. Turns out she never did! So I walk back after 10minutes (since I went to my gate), and I ask for gravy. She pours me 4 large scoops of gravy and remarks, "is that enough??" It's not like I was asking for extra gravy or mean or anything. I just wanted gravy with mashed potatoes like normal people... not a bucket full read more

Someone told me Lahaina Chicken was supposed to be some of the best airport food around (which I confirmed via an internet search), however I found it to be just mediocre. The roasted chicken, while seasoned well, was dry. Sides were Meh. I will say that for $12, it was a good amount of food compared to other airport eateries. They were very generous with the fried rice and salad. It was also very quick. Good place to grab a bite during your layover, or togo for your flight. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots at HNL International Airport! The chicken and fresh salads are ONO! Best bang for your buck with size and value. Burger King combo costs about the sane yet at Lahaina Chicken Company you get a protein entry of choice and 3 sides! My favorite side is their cole slaw. I often get a side of slaw to go when I bring lunch. Great friendly crew at the InterIsland Terminal close to Gate 58. If you are hungry and on the go, dis is da place to know! read more

The Honolulu airport surprisingly doesn't have a ton of food choices. I usually try to find the best salad option I can and even those are always way overpriced and really poor quality. Lahaina Chicken Company is probably one of the best choices I've found at any airport. You can make it somewhat healthy by ordering the chicken with a side of brown rice and mixed veggies. My husband and I split the half chicken and it was plenty of food for the both of us. This is a solid option especially before getting on a 6 hour flight. read more

Forget about the airport food mentality, Lahaina Chicken serves the best fried chicken ever. The chicken comes out golden brown and piping hot. The meat is moist, juicy, and tender. We also got a large order of cole slaw to go with our lunch. We skipped the food they serve on the plane. read more

this place is right by Gate 14 at Honolulu Airport. right next to Alaska / Virgin America. very convenient, good portion, large space and very relaxing. there are many seats and tables. come here! the chicken is crispy, delicious and generous. comes with three sides. one of the good place to eat at Honolulu Airport. read more

We read the review before we landed. It said, "best airport food ever." We have been through a lot of airports and would have to agree. The 2 piece white meat "fried" chicken was the bomb. Good mashed potatoes and gravy and some macaroni salad. Well worth the $18.50. So glad they are open again. The PGA restaurant was always over priced. And underwhelming. This is a welcome and great alternative. read more

I like the dark meat roast chicken with gravy all over the mash potatoes. Only negative is they close too early, 5:00 pm is prime time for dinner. There are still lots of hungry passengers at the Mauka concourse looking for food to eat read more

Best eats at a airport bar none for Hawaiian fast food. Reminds me of the old truck stops in Germany where they served up cuts of roasts fresh from the grill for decent prices- yes decent prices at an airport right? read more

The food was delicious. The service was fast. The ambiance was fine; especially, since we were eating at the Honolulu airport.

For quick service airport food, this exceeded expectations. Stumbled onto this place because it was right outside our gate. Ordered a prime rib meal and a quarter roasted chicken meal. Both came with 3 sides, both had large portions. (Quarter chicken looked like half a chicken, prime rib was weighed but seems they give a bit extra). The taste was serviceable, green beans weren't limp, corn wasn't soggy, mashed might be instant but was not lumpy. The prime rib was surprising TENDER and went well with the saucy gravy on the mashed. Both the proteins had good flavor. The food instantly reminded me of a "homestyled" American quick service serving rotisserie's chickens and the fixings.. however Lahaina Chicken Co taste MUCH better in freshness and flavor. Two meals came out to $35, which isn't terrible for airport prices. (HNL's Burger King charges about the same price per meal). I am reading they also have a location in Ala Moana, would return to try the rest of the items on the menu if I do not land in the same terminal next time. read more

Love the prime rib and you can select the portion you want.....sooooo good. The chicken is good too

Hmm.....airport food... What to get, and is it edible;) Luckily, I pulled up the yelp app and it guided me to Lahaina chicken company. Understandably, the reviews might be a tad harsh due to food being pre made, lacking quality or overpriced. I needed something in my stomach. I was planning on starving, and eating after I left the airport. I tend to have discomfort and nerves while I fly. Well, I strolled into the chicken spot and it wasn't busy at all. They offered an abundance of food with three sides, but there was no way I was going to sit comfortably on a long flight full. I chose the chicken salad. The lady took a whole chicken and halved it. With half of it on the board, she chopped it heavily, and placed it upon the salad you see in the supermarket prepackaged. I was quite pleased with how generous she was with the chicken. Some places tend to be stingy when it comes to a salad. I paid and brought it to a booth to eat. I had drizzled some Tabasco sauce to give it a kick. I have to say, I was relatively surprised. The chicken had some parts that were dry, but there were other sections where it was moist and tender. I would come back here as the food court does not really offer much healthy options. My salad was filling and not bad for being in an airport. read more

Over a three star experience due to: Pros 1. Friendly service 2. Reasonably priced for airport food. 3. Decent selection of proteins to include mushroom chicken, fried chicken, roasted chicken and beef. 4. The Coleslaw was pretty good Cons 1. Cold corn 2. Lukewarm mashed potatoes 3.

Yelp Challenge 365 # 80/365 I've come to the rude realization that I've been spending way too much time at airports. I try not to comment on "airport" food as I accept and realize these restaurants are there as an accommodation to the travellers. That said, they "try" to deliver as good a meal as one "fast food" restaurant can possibly deliver. So, I am between flights, landed at HNL from PDX. After a grueling flight, I still have one more interisland segment to go with 2 hours to spare. I'm hungry and I am not in the mood for a Burger King Meal.... I stop at Lahaina Chicken. WHAT????? no chicken?????? wth???? I need to wait as it is still being roasted or broasted or whatever they do to cook this chicken... I order a combo rib eye and roast pork plate., no mash, no gravy but I will have corn, mac salad and cole slaw as my sides. The combos offer you 3 sides. May I have the part that is most rare on the ribeye I ask. Answer was " there is no rare, no medium rare, we have ONLY medium and well done. That's how we do it here!" As to the pork, "No you can't pick which part you want. I will cut it, weigh it, you get 4 oz of each on the combo and then, I put it in your plate. You CAN"T choose! So there! I cant choose. well done rib eye and the end cut of the roast pork. $14 dollars (including tax) later, I am TRYING to eat this meal.... I eat it (begrudingly) mainly because I was hungry. Moral to the story? Go to grab a candy bar or something to curb your appetite and grab a paper or book to keep yourself busy while waiting for your flight. Don't attempt airport food unless you absolutely have to and LIKE what you SEE. Otherwise, don't chance it! read more

So I happened to be at the airport on a Friday and decided to buy lunch. I wanted a hearty meal so I chose Lahaina Chicken. This location is located by the Central Concourse. There is another Lahaina Chicken in the Interisland terminal. However, only this location also offers pizza options. They have salads or a vegetarian plate but most people come to get a plate lunch style meal where you get to choose three sides and a protein. You can also get a combo and choose two proteins. I chose a prime rib which was 6 oz and they did cut it up for me. They were out of a lot of sides (it was 1pm) so I got mashed potatoes and riviera veggies 2x. The sides were good. The prime rib was tough and overcooked. The plate was $14. I was a bit disappointed since what I got didn't compare to some of the photos I saw on Yelp. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if the other location is the same. The lady who helped me was very nice and friendly which is why I gave it 3 stars, but I was disappointed in my lunch for the price. read more

I love to eat here whenever I am at the airport. Yes there are cheaper lunch wagons out on the perimeter, but I choose to eat here even at the price. You can choose from a variety of meats and starches. I like to eat: For meats 3 piece fried chicken plate with dark meat Roast dark chicken or combo with rib eye I stay away from the pork. Too crispy and dry for my liking. Mushroom chicken For sides Rivera Mix Cole slaw Carrots Peas Corn I'm not a big fan of the rices or potatoes. read more

I am not a fan of airport food. Its either expensive junk food or expensive fast food. When I was walking to my terminal, I saw that there was a line out the door for this place and I had to check it out. Surprisingly, the prices were too bad and the food looked decent. For $15, I got a 1/4 of rotisserie chicken and a nice cut of prime rib. The meal comes with 3 sides (veggies, mac salad, cole slaw, rice, mash potato and others). The food was pretty good for airport food. Definitely one of the better airport foods I've had. read more

Airport food. Full Plate of prime rib and roasted chicken under $20 in an airport. It was good. Couldn't eat it all with 3 sides. Marked down because of confusion in line, idiots can't figure out where to order so better signs need put up. read more

They have a wide menu selection for a small take out place in the airport. Opted for the roast chicken which came with 3 sides. Wanted more fried rice sides or rice options. Plenty of veggies to be had. Great tasting roast chicken and huge portion for the airport price. Location obviously an issue as you'd probably only be eating here if you're on your way to catch a flight but this is one of the better options available at the HNL Airport. 3 stars for the flavor and generous portion size. read more

All this time I been going in and out of HNL Airport I always passed by and ordered from FAST FOOD next door. NO MORE !!! I will certainly stop here! I ordered the 1/4 chicken with 3sides KimChi, Mac Salad and corn OMG! very good piece of chicken juicy and tender. Will let other know to stop here and take out a plate. read more

Lahaina Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I got the 2 protein combo which came with 3 sides for $15. The lady recommended chicken and prime rib (she called it roast beef) so that's what I went with and macaroni salad, mixed veggies and fried rice. I'm glad the lady working cut off the dried ends of the prime rib because it wouldn't have tasted good. She weighed the amount she cut off and poured gravy on top. It's so soft and flavorful, I wish I had gotten just prime rib instead of the chicken. The chicken is big, it reminds me of a rotisserie chicken... Kind of on the dry side though and not very flavorful. The steamed mixed veggies were two types of beans and carrots. Fried rice was ok, nothing special but the macaroni salad is very good. If you're looking for something to eat, get the prime rib and macaroni salad from here!! read more

Lahaina Chicken - $15 - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is what I patiently wait for every time I go to the airport!! I discovered this spot 2 trips ago, and the fried chicken is still as good as I remember it. With your protein you get 3 sides (fried rice, corn, veggies, mac salad, etc.) My favorite is two piece dark meat fried chicken with mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, and coleslaw. Crispy chicken skin and juicy, tender inside. You can literally hear the crunch as you bite into it!! You'll make all the people on the plane jelly lol. Gravy on the potatoes is very rich and thick. And the sweet corn will compliment the savory potatoes. Coleslaw is a bit more tangy and cool. Can't wait to come back next time I visit :) read more

Lahaina Chicken - Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, corn and coleslaw - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Big serving sizes, but a little expensive. My wife and I were super excited to get one last Hawaiian meal on our way back home. When we showed up at 5 p.m. they were out of practically everything. No Mac salad, no fried chicken, no beef. I get it if it is closing time, but at 5 p.m that seemed weird. The food we did get was pretty good. Way more than the two of us could eat. I would rather have gotten less food for cheaper, since a meal for the both of us was about $30 not including drinks. I would like to go again when they had more options available. read more

I'm always baffled by the way people forgive most of the subpar food establishments at Honolulu International Airport. I mean, I realize that it is Hawaii after all, yet does it really matter whether you're in Hawaii, or someplace cold and dismal that one would turn off their taste buds? Well unfortunately for me, that is not the case. So thank God for Lahaina Chicken! There's never a time when leaving Honolulu, when I don't make a mandatory stop at Lahaina Chicken to ensure that my in-flight experience will be fulfilling and enjoyable and COVETED. For me, it's always the quarter chicken plate, all dark, two scoops rice, corn, and green beans if I'm feeling crazy. The aunties there are always very pleasant and cheerful and never for get to ask me if I want the brown gravy. And YES I do, on EVERYTHING! Long story short, I am the envy of whichever seat and cabin they put me in Hawaiian Airlines. Imagine the looks of jealousy as I open my styrofoam box of goodness up when we hit 10,000 feet and the delicious smells start permeating the cabin around me. "Mommy, is that for us?" NO LITTLE GIRL WHINING AND SITTING NEXT TO ME, IT IS NOT! Each bite I take thereafter is a tasty reminder of the correct decision I made on my way to the gate. And I plan to continue this for as long as I can chew. Mahalo and Ahui hou LC! read more

read that this restaurant could accommodate a gluten allergy. when we got to the counter to ask about this we were snapped at that theh were unsure if anything was gluten free and followed up with they can't guarantee a gluten free kitchen. But when we asked to talk to a manager to inquire if there was anything on the menu that was safe to eat, we were once again snapped at and the employees refused to get the manager. Which was completely inappropriate. overall, a bad experience and evidently the reviews written about gluten free options were incorrect read more

They have good fried chicken; very tender meat. Probably the best pick for food in this airport. You can get 2 or 3 pc fried chicken with 3 sides such as corn, potatoes, carrots. It's a lot of food so consider splitting it. read more

Food was OK. Chicken breast a little dry. Younger lady not very friendly but the older lady was very nice. Corn was yummy and sweet. Mac salad simple, I liked it. Fried rice... not too much different from white rice. Cant complain too much, after all its better than most of the fast food options in airports. read more

Next time I'm in town, this will be a must. It came down to one decision ... "Do I feel like tipping after I've spent a small fortune on this island?" No ... no, I do not. There are only less than a handful of choices here from what I could see so this seemed like the best bet. The 1/4 chicken and 3 sides deal was the best bet, I wouldn't recommend the prime rib. It did look good but after it cooled down it was almost way too rare for my taste. I know that's how it should be but I didn't want to risk anything before jumping on a plane for 5 hours. read more

I have to say this is probably the best option for food at the inter-island terminal. It's this, Burger King, or Chinese food. This is by far the healthiest with the most "real" food. As with anything at the airport, prices are small kine high. However, for the amount of food you get here and it's quality, I have to say I don't walk away thinking I got ripped off. That can't be said about any other place at the airport. I usually stick to the quarter chicken and 3 sides. Sides being mashed potatoes, veggies and corn. Chicken is always consistently good. Plenty of meat, so-so skin (I like mine a little crunchier), and good sized portion. Mashed potatoes are always good, as is accompanying gravy. Corn is canned, but I can't complain. Veggies previously frozen, but again, they are better than the other options next door. When you don't have time to eat before the airport, or you get to the airport with hours to kill, you could do a lot worse than this. I'll be back, especially because the other options don't tempt to sway away. read more

I am not a fan of airport food because they are almost always bad quality & is overpriced, but I really enjoy the food from this place. You get a hearty meal with a hefty portion that is flavorful and fresh on the go. I always order the prime rib or mushroom chicken & alternate between the coleslaw, mash & gravy, corn, & mixed veggies depending on what I am in the mood for. I LOVE gravy so I can go a little nuts on it & the guy & lady I usually see there know that already so they are always kind enough to smother my mash with the gravy :) :) read more

This is actually a 3 1/2 star review!!! As we were waiting to fly back home we found Lahaina Chicken. Ordered the fried chicken and mashed potatoes -- they were both pretty good. For being at the airport I have to say the prices were very reasonable especially because the portion sizes were pretty large. Service was friendly. The seating area was a mess, looked liked nobody had come around to clean it up in several hours. read more

Delicious roast chicken. Better than huli huli truck. Macaroni salad is great. Folks if you hate mac salad on the mainland because aunt Tillie chops eggs and other stuff that doesn't belong, try this. Some shredded carrot and nothing else. Mashed potato with the gravy is great. Vegetable fresh and tasty. Best airport meal I've had in a long time. Tender juicy flavorful chicken!! Put a Leonard's malasada annex here and this airport would be set! read more

2 of us got the 2-protein and 3-sides meal (roast chicken and roast pork). Very Solid. At the airport, Lahaina chicken company in a cafeteria-style food line? Yes actually very good proteins. Both pork and chicken were tender, flavorful, juicy. The meat portions were big IMO. Good amount of food for 2-of us. Sides were solid -- we tried the rice, mashed potatoes, and salad. Looks at freshness of sides b4 ordering read more
