4 years later (this was back in March 2021 around the second week) and I'm still thinking of this place lol I haven't been since I first got back. Anyway, I felt I could at least share my experience before I move. I had an amazing time each visit. The Food was ONO; I've only been there for breakfast and lunch. Every time was a hit for me. The waffles, pancakes, fried chicken, kalbi, loco mocos (etc) and my ultimate favorite (Bottomless mimosas) Til this day, I haven't had mimosas that good!! I'll be stopping by before we leave the island for good lol Service was always a pleasure, kind, patient and full of Aloha. I don't remember his name but thank you for showing people what it's like to visit our home. The location is easy to find; spacious, clean, comfortable and beautiful! Over all this spot was always a hit for me every time I was there. read more

The menu is a little disappointing - healthy choices are limited. They don't have sourdough bread, what?!?!?! They don't have macha tea. They have a buffet for $27 with nothing spectacular, pretty basic but there is miso soup. They do have MAC Daddy pancakes, if you eat them in a certain amount of time, you receive tickets to the magic show. They look good, they're supposed to be 14 inches across. There's 4 TVs to watch sports. The oatmeal was really good but only comes with brown sugar, the berries and nuts had to be a side order. The breakfast burrito was delicious, very heavy, but delicious. It'd be great for a hangover. The coffee is good, not great, it doesn't pack a punch, but is good, not bad. Connie, our server works her but off. read more

We came here for brunch partially because of the convenience that day, and partially because of the menu (we really wanted mochi pancakes)! The food was decent, but. A few things to know: - Restaurant is inside the hotel. - There are 2 sides to the restaurant: one side of the restaurant on the left is bright and airy, and on the right it's the complete opposite (fluorescent lighting with a few booths and an old school diner style counter. It's pretty quiet and there are a few TV screens on, so I'd say there isn't any vibe whatsoever. You can very clearly hear everything your neighbors are saying in this space, so it's a little awkward. The host told us the room on left is for reservations only, although it seemed to have plenty of open tables. We settled for the right side room since it was raining and we needed to just have breakfast, but in hindsight I would have just gone elsewhere. - Overall it was fine, but we got better mochi pancakes elsewhere in Waikiki and the strawberries on top were very brown and bruised in some spots and didn't look great. I know that berries aren't native to Hawaii so they are hard to get fresh strawberries, but again we did have better strawberries elsewhere in the area. read more

M.A.C. 24/7 - Mochi pancakes - American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mac 24 I used to really enjoy MAC when it was actually a 24/7 restaurant. They're definitely going through some growing pains and trying to find a formula that works in this environment. I would definitely say they excel at breakfast and struggle with anything beyond that. In particular I found the pancakes to be outstanding. The eggs Benedict are usually good, too. I came for lunch and left disgusted. Soup of the day was clam chowder. Mostly just butter, flour, cream, tons of salt, some pieces of potato--But alas, no clams. It was so thick and gelatinous it made me laugh. Like a white bowl of jello. Moving on... You'd think fish tacos would be a no brainer here in Hawaii. Nope. These were a disaster. The fish was encased in a hard thick shell and fried until it was hard as a hockey puck. Tough, chewy, and difficult to eat. Extremely disappointing and unsatisfying. Ambiance is mixed. You either have a pleasant open airy view or a dated 50's style dark dungeon to choose from. A complete overhaul is needed to attract anyone outside of the hotel in my opinion. And if you want to be that 24/7 establishment, you need to attract outside customers. Instead of investing in new innovative menu items and market research for customer desires , they opted for silly little robots to deliver dishes to the table as the server follows slowly behind, or is actually waiting at the table for it to arrive. Never seen anything to ridiculous. A great example of misused technology, wasted capital, And a disservice to the great service staff they already have. Yes, the servers are the saving grace here. Always friendly and helpful. Invest in them! Sadly I wouldn't recommend at this time except for breakfast. I wish the excellent staff nothing but the best because they are what's keeping the doors open. read more

M.A.C. 24/7 is a mixed bag y'all. At least that was my experience. The Bad: it's hot as hell, both at the host stand and in the first dining section where my party was seated. No air flow at all. Not exactly ideal in a climate that was incredibly humid the entire length of my visit. We had to ask for water, which was refilled sparingly by dumping more ice on top, instead of any actual liquid. The service was abysmal. The host and our server were cold and unfriendly and put off the vibe that we were taking up their time.... by eating at their restaurant? Our server followed the food delivery robot to the tables around us and deposited the plates, asked if they needed anything else, but was nowhere to be found when it came to our table. In fact, several staff walked right on by while the robot shouted at us that our food had arrived. We ended up just grabbing them ourselves just to shut it up. The Good: goddamn the food was good! The ube pancakes were perfection! The sauce was so dark and luscious I wish I could've taken a gallon of it home with me. The Hawaiian Style Eggs Benedict is hella filling, you could easily split it between two people! The sriracha hollandaise really sets it off too. The coffee cups are big and they leave the carafe on your table. Would I return? Probably not. Those ube pancakes are THAT good that I'd definitely consider it. read more

Pretty decent. Service: 5/5. Yoon was so sweet and funny. Food: 5/5. I got Fresh Picked pancakes ($22) with an upgrade to mochi pancakes ($2? $4? See photo. Bait and switch on the price. I would've disputed, but the person paying didn't feel like it.) SOOOO good tho. I've never heard of mochi pancakes before. They were chewy, didn't get soggy like normal pancakes. Extremely generous amount of Chantilly whipped cream and fresh fruit (pineapple, orange slices, banana, strawberry, blueberry). I'm a big eater, and even with me eating my fill and 2 other people picking off my plate, I still left some of it behind. Def recommend sharing with a friend! Drinks: 1/5. Don't get espresso here. Cappuccino and latte were terrible. They don't have an actual espresso machine, only a Nescafe. I took 1 sip of the cappuccino and abandoned it. When I told Yoon it was terrible, she got me a replacement from the coffee shop next door. MAC 24/7 really should just partner up with them and get all their espresso drinks from there. read more

How does a restaurant room service mess up breakfast room service so bad- truly ruined my vacation. The first time that they arrived, the milk that I required was missing. They brought up the milk and after they left I realized I had no silverware so had to call down again. So they bring me silverware of knife and fork- no spoon for my oatmeal. i had to call them AGAIN and they brought a spoon but by this time oatmeal was cold I had ordered the healthy oatmeal w flax- the new batch was brown sugar and bananas- NOT what i ordered. I finally went downstairs myself to get my food right and the manager asked what did I want him to do that? He's already given me a free meal. I said give me back the hour and a half that I went without eating that I needed to show some respect and some concern for the terrible customer service I received with him as manager. All the ladies who work there are lovely, but this guy was the worst. He did take this off my bill, but I thought that they could've gotten the extra step by actually being apologetic and getting me the items that I had actually ordered within the first two tries. I will never order from this place again. Hawaii is a once in a lifetime experience and this manager ruined my day. read more

I had the chance to dine at M A C 24/7, two times during my recent stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. I visited once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times, I sat at the counter. I had excellent service from the bartender/server at the counter both times, who was very pleasant and talkative. For lunch, I had the Kalua Pork Quesadilla and an Iced Tea, which was excellent. For breakfast, I had the Stuffed French Toast with a side of Spam, also very good. I would say the prices are good for the portions served and considering the location. Overall, it was a nice place, clean, bright and friendly. The only issue, is that for people sitting at tables they use a robot for delivery, which on one hand is very nice and convenient; however, if the server is busy --- you just sit there and stare at your food, as you are supposed to wait until the server shows up to retrieve it from the robot. That part is a little awkward. read more

Food at the grab and go was terrible. The Breakfast Chorizo Burrito tasted like day old, refrigerated, then reheated, dry, cold tater tots, unacceptable nasty. The Chicken Caesar Salad wrap was also super dry chicken and questionable apply yourself dressing freshness. Bagel and locs was only thing edible. A terrible food experience. read more

There was no wait, the service wasn't bad. So that was good but I didn't know they stopped serving certain breakfast items at 11. We got there at 1115 and I couldn't get my omelette. Kind of the only reason I chose that location to dine. However, since we were already there and sitting, I didn't want to be rude and leave. We ordered mostly "favorites" thinking it must be really good.. sadly, it wasn't and the food took long to come out.. The kalbi is way too sauced, my son didn't care for it. The katsu was way overcooked, The corn beef wasn't anything special either, he said the spam was weird. I think out of my husband's plate, only the egg was good. He didn't like the fried rice. The Oreo pancakes were good, said my daughter. I enjoyed the chicken salad. Can't say that we will be back though for the price versus the quality. read more

My friend brought me here for my birthday. She said when her and her husband stayed and dined, they really enjoyed their meal(s). The restaurant is semi hidden within the Hilton, and upon arrival, you're supposed to seat yourself. We did awkwardly stand around for a while (although there was a sign in front), till a waitress told us to do so. After sitting we were provided menus and then waters. We got: - Mixed Plate (With Huli Huli Chicken and Spicy Ahi): My friend got this but I got to try it. It's nothing special but everyone was executed well. The chicken was more like shoyu/teriyaki chicken. If you've ever had huli huli chicken, this does NOT taste like it. - Fish & Chips: This was decent. I was just craving fish and chips for no reason, but to be honest, half way into eating it, it was getting tired of the one dimensional taste. There was 4 fish sticks/filets, they're fried decently well and crispy. The crust was pretty much separated from the fish but I think that may be intentional? The fries were also one dimensional, just tasted like fried potato. The coleslaw had pineapple in it which was a surprising twist. The condiments like hot sauce and ketchup helped saved it (combined with tartare sauce). I would say their portions are definitely decent, especially for being in waikiki. I personally wouldn't come back again, just as there are so many similar/exact alternatives within the couple of blocks radius. read more

Reservations for 2 at MAC 24/7 for our late anniversary and long due date night LOL ;) It was a nice drive down through town to Waikiki as there was not a lot of traffic but the parking took a bit long but it was okay. The hostess, server, Buffett servers and manager were really great and friendly. They had a seafood chowder but I couldn't eat it as I'm too sensitive with salmon but one of the Buffett server was so thoughtful enough to get me tomato bisque soup in place and we were so pleased. We ate really good - crab legs, prime rib, different types of dishes, salad/poke/sashimi and deserts. They were really busy and we know why. We were blessed for a wonderful night and want to thank you to our loved ones for always thinking of us. Thank you again and again! Also, a huge Mahalo to MAC 24/7, we enjoyed ourselves! read more

awwww. Took my wife here for their special Valentines buffet. While I did love being with my wife (any time is GREAT), this buffer was weird and not in a good way. First off our server was really, really good. Right from the start she provided excellent service. But when the buffet started, things got weird. Our server showed us that the buffet was split into two parts. One part is mainly salad/sashimi and mains. But there's another room that had a roast pig, prime rib, the "sushi" that they don't usually have and crab! I mainly came for the crab and we headed for that room. Almost immediately someone working for the hotel, "redirected" us to the other side - trying to tell us we made a mistake in going there first. Not understanding, I went with it and got sashimi and some salad. I asked our server, and she said she didn't understand why he redirected us. OK Now I was irritated. I went there for crab and I was going to get it. I walked right into the room and started getting crab. Well, I tell you, this part was weird. There were a number of servers just standing around and making comments about me grabbing crab. YES, I love crab and I will go back multiple times because this is a buffet! Every time I went, they made comments like "wow, getting more?". "Oh look at the crab". You know what? Leave me alone to eat! Now let's get to the even more weird part. Even though the pig was under a heating lamp, both the pig and the prime rib was just barely lukewarm. The prime rib was really rare. I guess I am the type that doesn't like a lot of blood all over my dish. To make it worse it was lukewarm. Yuck. The special sushi was basically a maki sushi roll that you can buy from a local store. It wasn't sushi, sushi. Then when I went back to the sashimi, they didn't refill and all you had was the sashimi that no one wanted. (Some kind of white fish). I'm glad I was one of the first to get ahi and salmon. The rest of the mains were typical buffet stuff - dried out fish, teriyaki chicken, noodles, the typical low end borderline buffet. The desserts were pretty good though. I sadly would not recommend this buffet. Overpriced and weird. read more

We arrived to find out that the restaurant had actually closed down, which was very disappointing since we made a reservation through OpenTable and weren't notified. When we walked in, we were told to go to the bar to order, then seat ourselves. There was only one waitress who seemed completely overwhelmed, and the food prep area was covered by a curtain, which didn't feel very professional. The space was extremely hot with no airflow, and the menu was very limited with hardly any choices. We decided to leave without eating. This restaurant system really needs to be updated or shut down on OpenTable so customers aren't misled. read more

We were having a staycation for my daughter's birthday and decided to check this place out. We came for breakfast. We made a reservation and were seated right away. My kids thought the robot servers were really cool! Mac and cheese is only available for their lunch menu, but they went above and beyond and made it for my daughter, even though they were still on breakfast service. The restaurant was super spacious and clean and the service was friendly. We thought the food was really good too! Five stars. read more

This restaurant is located inside the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel and serves standard American fare. I would characterize this restaurant and food experience as a step above a diner, but not quite fine dining. Everything is done with attention to detail, but like an elevated mom and pop establishment. The menu is overpriced, and we only choose to eat here since we had a Food and Beverage credit (and other resort credits) to utilize. The cocktails were a decently large size and felt measured in terms of flavor components and alcohol level. Not particularly strong but they were tasty. The dishes we had were all good! The filet mignon was cooked to order, and the fries were golden and crispy. The truffle horseradish mayo tasted homemade and paired nicely with the fries (and steak). The Caesar salad had some interesting tropical flavors and used whole romaine lettuce leaves. I appreciated the slices of baked parmesan in the salad that gave a sharp contrast of flavor. We were served by Gary, who was a delight to interact with. All of the staff were professional and courteous and we were attended to multiple times throughout our time there. The place had kind of an upscale diner vibe, and it was very clean and well lit. There were plenty of tables, even a circle table for a larger party, and a separate room for an even larger group. The dishes are brought out on a table with wheels for an impressive presentation. This place does the job for a hotel restaurant and would do fine for business dinners if you have the budget. There are also not too many restaurant options in this area, so I can see why one may want to eat here if you are staying in the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel. read more

My Husband and I both ordered the prime rib. It was sooo excellent! We were delightfully surprised! We both ordered medium rare, it was seasoned perfectly. Can't say enough about how much we loved it. The mashed potatoes were superb, steamed veggies excellent. The restaurant was very clean and the service was quick. Our food came out within a few minutes of ordering, we started with the Caesar salad. Dressing was perfect., just enough. Our servers Gary and Elaine were friendly and great. We ordered the chicken and waffles to go and sampled it when we got home. Fabulous! An overall five star experience and we will be back, our compliments to chef Joel!

So this ain't my first time here and we love coming here but feels like something changed! Or is it just me?!?! Anyways wife and I are staying in the area and stopped in for breakfast. Hostess greeted us but then had to go see about something and I lack patience so it seemed like forever that she was gone, came back to get us and seated us with breakfast menu and I was like ok the still got my favorite "country fried steak" but a minute later she says sorry I gave you the wrong menu! I was bummed because the chicken fried steak is not on the lunch menu and not part of the all day breakfast but the hostess checked with the kitchen and they said they would honor it been that we were about five minutes out from serving breakfast. So thank you for that! Portion size looks smaller than I remember but it's everything nowadays lol! Wife had the Kalua quesadilla but she scrapped off the sauce because it was SUPER SALTY. I even tried it and it was really salty! Other than that still great ambience and it's very clean! read more

MAC 24/7 is located inside the Hilton in Waikiki. My husband and I were drooling at the pictures of the macadamia nut pancakes so we decided to come in around 1pm. Based on the name of the restaurant, I thought that breakfast would be available all day but that is not the case. Breakfast is only available until noon but there are some options available during lunchtime. The inside is cute and definitely has a hotel restaurant feel but at the same time reminds you that you are in Hawaii. Staff is nice and attentive. I got the classic short stack with the banana Mac nut, which was two pancakes. I wish there were more side options but since it was lunchtime that was not possible. The pancakes were delicious and very filly - fluffy, fresh bananas, and the macadamia nuts added a nice crunch which balanced the fluffiness of the pancakes. My husband got the half pound wagyu burger which came with caramelized onion, letter, tomato, and cheddar cheese; he also got the house fries. The burger was very good; juicy, huge patty, and perfectly cooked. It was a little pricy but was yummy. My husband and I enjoyed our meal and will definitely return if we ever get the chance! :) read more
