Don't know why, but the breakfast platters with rice are inconsistent. Either the rice is too wet and inedible or too dry and hard and equally inedible. Sigh! Found out that I can request my Portuguese sausage to be "well done" so that it doesn't come out undercooked! Have to wait about 5 minutes longer, but it's worth the wait. Hope no one gets sick from the inadequate and poorly prepared food...Where are the McDonald's standards?!! read more

O McDonald had a farm.... Hawaii to me is its own little country; their McDonalds' also serve native food! We had to give it a try! Breakfast: 1) One of the combos (forgot which one): Spam, Rice, and egg 2) Fried Taro pie Decent, but nice to try. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars. I read most of the other reviews and I wish there were a little more content for some of the reviews. Some of them are legitimate. 1) Yes, the prices are high and quite expensive. (my counter? it's next to the strip of what I would call "Rodeo Dr.". How can it not be so high? Also, it's Hawaii, so everything is more expensive here. 2) Yes, service was slow. (my counter? my husband waited 5 minutes or so for his McD's "fast" food. Was I a little annoyed? I can't lie and say that I wasn't. But my husband noted that there wasn't any food that was "sitting" there waiting to be picked up. They were making everything fresh to order. I could validate that because when I got my food, it was piping hot and it tasted fresh. So, YES, SERVICE IS SLOW but the food was made to order. Depending on what you want, it depends. For me, I prefer quality over the quantity of time it took to get my food - for today at least.) 3) Kimo K. discussed some of the layout of the newly renovated McD's. Yes, I agree that the layout of the McD's could have been better. Honestly, I can't comment too much with regard to this because I'm not sure what it looked like before but I imagine you can only renovate based on the base you have, no? I liked the fact that it was remodeled. I felt that it was clean. She may have a legit point for those who live here, but this place is so touristy, I'm not sure that many of us tourists are bothered by the layout too much. =X All in all, I thought it was clean, refreshing (because it was newly renovated), the sausage burrito was awesome because they STUFFED it with sausage, egg, and cheese. I'm used to the burritos where I barely get ANYTHING in my burritos. MAD PROPS for stuffing these burritos with all the goodness. Also, as others mentioned, COMPLIMENTARY PINEAPPLEs come with breakfast combos. i didn't think i'd have this much to say about a McD's, but I surprised myself. Just don't expect the mainland McD prices. Think about the stores that are a block away (high end stores) and the population to give some perspective on the prices. read more

McDonald's - Good controls over the "freshness" of their food! - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ok, so I'm yelping about McDonald's, of all restaurants! But I have to Yelp because this McDonald's offers...drum roll please: Local deluxe breakfast platter consisting of three slices of Portuguese sausage, two slices of spam, one scrambled egg, and two scoops of rice!!! All this for $5.49. Now why can't the McDonald's in the mainland offer this type of dish for breakfast? If you don't like spam, you can opt for the Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice platter for $4.49, or, if you like spam and not the Portuguese sausage, you can opt for the spam, eggs and rice platter for $4.49. Or...if you want the usual, they offer the regular menu items. As others have mentioned, the McDonald's offers FRIED apple and cherry pies for $1 each...yay! They also offer fresh pineapple chunks as healthier fare. read more

**NOTE: This review is for the Haupia Pie only.** The Haupia Pie is a seasonal pie that you can only get in Hawaii. Haupia is a coconut-milk based dessert that is very popular in the aloha state. The McDonald's Haupia Pie was deep fried and served warm. The haupia filling was delicious and the pie was crunchy, but it wasn't anything special. I still prefer the original apple pie to this. In other words, "meh, I've experienced better." Speaking of experiencing better though, if you ever go to Canada, try their caramel pie. It's the best McDonald's Pie in North America. read more

McDonald's - Haupia pie - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Three stars isn't too bad granted that it's McDonalds. Now where can you go and get rice at McDonalds? Hawaii! My husband grew up in Hawaii and he always talked about the Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice at McDonalds so of course we went. It was pretty good! They give you three pieces of sausage, eggs and rice with soy sauce. The service was pretty good. My eggs were a little runny and since I'm pregnant I asked for it to be recooked. They made me a whole new batch of eggs cooked all the way. We ordered a taro pie which was also delicious. Great customer service at a definite affordable price! read more

They did an amazing job and the hospitality was the best. They made you feel like you were at home and did such a great job. This MC Donald's is super legit! One of the best parts of visiting Hawaii lol read more

Good breakfast plate and burrito. McMuffin was not fresh and seemed to be old. Good place to go when hungry and don't want to wait in line for restaurants in Waikiki. read more

It's McDonald's, only thing we could find open late close by. It's 24/7. Typical food, higher prices, though I did notice some special beach picnic packs that seemed great prices! Our meals even came with fresh pineapple!! read more

The hours of operation are convenient. This McDonald's restaurant is nice and clean. There is a computer that takes food orders, which is good for people who do not want to wait on line. My order was ready quick. The food was satisfactory. I am satisfied with this McDonald's. This is my first 3-star rating, so I will explain: A Brother B 3-star rating means that the experience is average. This means that the restaurant provides exactly what is expected. 3 star is good. This McDonald's restaurant is an example of what all McDonald's SHOULD be. Good food, quick service, exactly when it is needed. No more, no less. read more

I don't really have high expectations for McDonald's but damn. This place was sketchy. McDonalds is probably the one and only place that's affordable to transients in the area so I get it. Methed out homeless in and out on a regular being all weird and shit. At the same time, families are trying to feed their kids. The servers looked irritated and literally throw your order to you to get to the next person. The food isn't any different from other McDonald's. BUT I was hoping to find Portuguese sausage on the menu and they didn't have it! I won't be coming back here. read more

fast friendly service!!! best mcdonals in honolulu hawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The typical McDonald's experience. Except there are some Hawaiian specialties such as haupia pie and spam breakfasts. Positive: It's open 24 hours and in the heart of Waikiki. Features the new shaker fries. Negatives: no drive thru. Past midnight expect a crowd of drunken revelers. read more

I only wanted to have a simple small coffee and then nature called.... Lo and Behold..... Where is the bathroom?

spam, eggs, and rice AND saimin..at mcdonald's?? I was excited to come here because this franchise doesn't carry these items in the mainland. We purchased these two items for breakfast. The spam dish was just like any other..but was a bit greasy for me. I suggest you skip the saimin..it was bland, noodles were hard, and the broth tasted really fishy. Word of advice: Try Zippys, it's way better. read more

It was about 6:30AM and we were on our way to the North Shore for our North Shore Shark Adventures reservation (http://www.yelp.com/biz/north-shore-shark-adventures-haleiwa). Our hotel's complimentary breakfast wasn't open that early, so we decided to go to McDonalds for a quick to-go breakfast. Wow, this place is ridiculously expensive. $7 for 2 Egg McMuffins - aren't these typically on the $1 menu?? No parking lot. No free parking in the neighborhood, and it won't be easy finding a spot in the street. If you have a car and need to park, your best bet is to park at the nearby Food Pantry (http://www.yelp.com/biz/food-pantry-ltd-honolulu-2) and pick up a quick bite there! read more

As if Waikiki prices aren't stupid enough, I ordered a chicken nugget meal (over $9) and asked for "water." They brought me tap water. I told them they charged me for a meal, those come with bottled water. They tried to tell me it would be $1.40 more! It was made clear by all the confusion and people involved that they either didn't know what they were talking about or they were trying to pull one over on me. I stood my ground and got my water. Ridiculous! read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. This is the worst chain of McDonalds on the island. Not only is the "renovated" method of ordering and pick-up useless but it creates congestion near the front of the store you'd think its a town hall meeting. I also hate that the menu it's so ridiculously small...Since the ordering lines are on the left side of the counters, you can barely see the right side of the menu even if you're 2nd in line to order. And I have 20/20 vision- go figure. If I wanted to get a closer look, I'd have to venture into the 'pick-up' area in order to see. Ugh. CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!! True story- I placed an order for an egg mcmuffin meal w/ orange juice only to find that my total was $8.50! Are you serious???! For breakfast?! To fuel my disgruntlement, I saw a charge for pineapples on my receipt that I did not ask for nor offered by the cashier. Why the hell are you charging me 'fresh cut pineapples?!' Apparently, according to the supervisor/manager/incompetent idiot...pineapples automatically come with every meal. Wait a second, so McDonalds Kuhio takes your money without your consent? Isn't that -what's the word for this umm- RIPOFF?!! Oh yeah by the way, this "every meal gets a pineapple" deal is at Waikiki only...or so he says. Well I say this is a TOURIST TRAP!! He reluctantly authorized my refund to the clueless cashier with no apology. I feel bad for all those who has fallen for this trap thinking yay pineapples I love Hawaii! What's deceiving is the sign advertises it as 'fresh cut pineapples with every value meal,' however does not list a price next to it, insinuating that it's free. Bullshit. Make sure you request NO PINEAPPLE and check your receipts the next time you're here. Or not, that is if you want a few chunks of canned pineapple in a McDs cup for $1.50. read more

McDonald's - $1.59 for unwanted pineapples?! laaaaaaame - Fast Food Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've lived across the street for years. The service has always been beyond horrible, but tonight made me finally write a review. If negative stars were an option then I would give them a negative 4/5 because the service is disgraceful. I'm not sure who decided to hire the night staff but I would rather have hobos behind the register because the night staff consists of a bunch of females who clearly hate their jobs and do not care whatsoever about the service they give. Every single time I've come here I have to say hi first because they don't acknowledge you otherwise. Here's what usually happens. "M" refers to me, "E" refers to any employee, although it's usually the same lady every night. M: *walks up*. E: *stares with an empty sole and says absolutely nothing and never greets me or anyone*. M: can I get *insert order here*. E: *price of order* (no "that will be", or "please" or anything at all. M: pays. E: hands receipt and continues to ignore me. No thank you or anything. Mind you I've been here a hundred times. Same sub par service every single time. The employees are complete zombies who will never greet you, simply hear your order and demand the price. That's the only verbal exchange that happens. Then you usually wait 10+ minutes then you will either here your order number in a monotone quiet voice or see your number on the screen. It feels like the employees hate their lives and jobs and take it out on the customers. Then you get your food and regret going to this location. Tonight I got a mcteri and fries. The fries were good, but the mcteri was disgusting. I can usually eat just about anything but this was so disgusting that I had to throw it away halfway through. The "burger" was drenched in the most mediocre "teriyaki" sauce I've ever had in my life, and it literally tasted like I was eating a disgusting imitation teriyaki sauce on top of a 'filler'. I understand that it's McDonald's, minimum wage, etc. But you could at least hire some 14 year Olds who look forward to a paycheck rather than these 40 year old women who won't even acknowledge you and just stare at you until you order. It's honestly appalling. Update 10/14. Got a breakfast Combo. I got a sausge biscuit with the bread together and the sausage patty underneath the double bun. Your employees can't even put 3 pieces of food in order? Honest question did you IQ test your employees? Unbelievable. Boycotting McDonald's for life Update: March 2019 I figure I'll give it another shot since it's been a couple years. I ordered a bacon egg buscuit, hash brown, and saimin. Hash brown is dark brown in the middle, obviously went through the fryers multiple times. The egg on the biscuit is crunchy on the edges, and after those 2 being inedible I didn't want to risk eating the saimin and getting sick. I go up to the pick up counter and proceed to get blatantly ignored for 5 minutes. Doesn't even look at me when I'm less than a foot away from her. Unbelievably terrible service. Time and time again. No other McDonald's on the island is this bad. The beretania location is on point and amazing. I don't understand how this location is so bad. The employees genuinely do not care about their jobs. Fire the entire staff, start fresh, and serve edible food. Just unacceptable time and time again. read more

Need more Aloha!!!!!!! No thank you, no apology for wrong order. This is the manager. Consequently the employees follow. Come on McDonald's? Embarrassing for the Aloha spirit to be missing in the middle of Waikiki!! read more

Their was this guy that ate fries with no gloves on working in the kitchen and my quarter pounder was greasy

Really rude cashier, no restroom, and only had banana and apple pies (no taro, no haupia). Left empty handed. Won't return.

I don't even wanna give thIs place a star. Took 30 mInutes to get my food. They kept taking orders when they couldn't even push food out. No sauce on the burgers and fries were cold and stale. We had to put it in the air fryer. The guy behind the counter was waaaaay too slow. There were a lot of Pissed off customers making jokes. Terrible terrible terrible! read more

I have to admit that I don't get to eat at McDonald's often. But I was hungry because it has been a long time since I had dinner there. I really like the McChicken Sandwiches and it is part of the dollar menu which is a good idea for those who are on tight budgets and want something that is priced just right and not too expensive. I love it when they call the order and deliver it to the table for the customers so it will make it easier. The recent change was the kiosks where it is a lot more faster and quicker so that no one will be wondering where the food is at. One suggestion is put a self-serving drink station so that it will be a lot easier, which can choose from and pick from. Other than that it is a very good late night fix for those who are out late and in need of something to eat and get a quick fix of the late night fix so that way the cravings are satisfied and glad to get a chance to eat. read more

Me and my friend came to McDonald's at 4:45am before we started work at 5am. So we walked to the kuhio McDonald's next to the trade center in Waikiki. We were both hungry and the only place open this early in the morning was McDonald's. Everyone was happy and they made really nice communication. Our orders were on time and we made it to work perfect. But our boss was late so we are outside while waiting for him. The food was okay but not the best. I never ate McDonald's for years cuz I don't really like fast food. I got a egg whites assuage English muffin set with orange juice and hash brown. I like the hash brown cuz it was hot just came up from the frier lol This McDonald is also the cleanest ones I ever been to so far! Coming back again before we start work :D read more

I was glad to find a McDonald's nearby I was able to have that traditional breakfast and I was able to try the taco pie which I never tried before. I wish they had more branches around the downtown area. read more

Okay, it's McDonalds so I really start off with what I believe to be a bar that is appropriately set. That said, the staff could benefit from some understanding of customer service. Regarding food - see first sentence. That's a known quantity. read more

***Visited in October*** Canada's McDonalds lack specials like spam breakfasts, banana pies and $5 20 Chicken McNuggets deals. It was worth the few dollars spent here. Very friendly, but it's McDonalds. Everyone is friendly! read more

I had the Hawaiian breakfast here. It was pretty fun to try, especially if you're up early and you want to try something different that you can't get back at home. It comes with two heaping scoops of white rice, a block of scrambled egg, spam, and Portugese sausage. About halfway through, it did feel a bit much. I could feel my art aching under the weight of all that sodium. What I would recommend getting for sure are the pies. Quick snack that'll cost you a buck, the last time I visited they had taro pie. This time they had coconut. Crunchy deep fried cartoned goodness. It brings me back to my childhood, but with a tropical twist. read more

My LEAST favorite McDonald's on the Island... Why, you my ask? Simply because they charge 25% more jut because of their location! McRib Extra Value Meal, regular sized, was pushing $9.57. Seriously?? I dont care if they offer free "pineapple" with every extra value meal...This place BLOWS! Additionally, service is slow and the line always moves at a snail's pace. I dont know if it's something we can blame on the tourists, but it definitely irks me. read more

Local "deluxe" breakfast - works in a pinch. My compatriot was tired of my never ending quest to eat every day at Shirokiya and besides, I didn't see any "Hawaiian Breakfast" there. It was a hop, skip and jump from our hotel and I wanted to try the taro pie but the breakfast was filling and we'd had enough fried foods at that point. The novelty of ordering rice, spam, portuguese sausage and eggs at McD's was sufficient rationale to skip Shirokiya for one day. Ah, but if you can make it over to Liliha Bakery ... that's a whole 'nother story and likely my next "review." Now that was AWESOME! read more

This McDonald's is probably the worst I've been to. I went there three times and during all three times they managed to mess up the order... even after having them read it back to me before I paid. Also, don't forget to say NO PINEAPPLES when you order a meal because it is an extra cost and don't even ask if you want the pineapples or not. And if you order fries, expect half full containers... they stingy on the fries. read more

plenty of seating. Fast service. Taro Pie!

When you had the kind of epic night that ends in photo finishes to get the vomit into the toilet your gonna need food to quell the emptiness in your stomach and absorb the remaining alcohol that hadn't been up chucked earlier. McDonalds isn't a fast food restaurant...No, not after an epic night. McDonalds is a life boat in a sloshing sea of sake....a superhero swooping down to catch me before I fall to my death... and their Deluxe Breakfast Platter which includes portuguese sausage, spam, eggs and rice is like an adrenaline shot to the heart of an OD'ing heroin junkie. Every bite charges my power meter a little bit and by the end of the meal I'm at least half-way alive and have enough energy to function for the rest of the day. With this McDonald's strategically located across the street from the hotel I was staying at, I was spared the arduous task of hiking Waikiki alleyways to find some grub. I thank you McDonald's, for all the times you've helped smooth out my rough nights and filled my raw alcohol soaked gut with processed goodness. You are more than a fast food joint to me, especially when the previous night rhymes with "medic". You know when to jump in the phone booth and don that spandex when you see me stumbling into your doors as a drunk in distress. #Yelp 365 - 041/365 read more

Lol my BF wanted to try McDonald's in a different state. We wanted to see if there was anything different compared to CA. The only thing we got that was different was a taro pie. It was actually really good haha read more

They didn't give my daughter her French fries as a part of her meal. I had to ask for the fries. They also took forever to fill our order. The service is slow. We went around 4 pm and it wasn't that busy. They also were out of quite a bit of drinks. No slushees! read more

The service at this location is slow irregardless of whether or not there are a lot of patrons. Also, on more than one occasion, they have forgotten items in my order. For example, most recently, they've forgotten the french fries in my daughter's happy meal. The option to order at the kiosk was nice because it's supposed to save you the time of waiting in line. Too bad your order gets put into the same queue as the people who stood in line. Therefore, it still takes forever to get your food. read more

Hawaiian breakfast good...but the eggs are....meh. Service is slow, but "Now Hiring" sign in the window. Can't really complain, it was a decent experience. Haupia pie is a delish treat, if you think you're going to share it...buy two, because he won't share. read more

I come here pretty often considering my place of work is close by. I ordered breakfast here this morning and the woman who took my order tells me the cost then proceeds to walk off into the kitchen for a good 5 minutes while I'm standing there holding my money out. She literally walked past me multiple times as if I hadn't just placed an order. I was irritated to say the least. Until her manager who saw the exchange did absolutely nothing. Now I can understand if they're busy but I was the only person there. I guess I'll be looking for affordable breakfast elsewhere. read more
