Located on the University St side, right next to the Asian Market. There is parking in a private lot parking within Puck's Alley. As you enter, the staff warmly welcomes you and very helpful with explaining their menu selection. Have been here several times and so far, everything I've ordered, I've enjoyed. Off to the side, they have a semi private dining area (not sure if they allow you to reserve the area if you have a larger group of people) . This restaurant gives a "diner" vibe, I like it read more

Popped in on a Sunday to grab a quick bite. Parking in pucks alley (which i think under 1 hr is free). Its located next to nijiya market. Walk in and order at the register. The lady who took our order was friendly :) Got waters (self pour) and sat at an empty table Got the following Avocado toast - good and had lots of topping Philly cheese egg rolls - wish the sauce was more spicy but they were decent. Eat them while they're still hot Bento w/ salt pepper chicken and kalbi - the kalbi was super good! The chicken was good but could've used more salt pepper taste. Will be back if I wanted a quick bite that doesn't break the bank. read more

Been here a couple times. Tried a couple of items on the menu. Nice local spot ambiance. Those of you visiting, it's that mom and pop local feel. Good comfort, local and hang over food IMO. Service is ok but they get busy so be patient. One of our cheese steak rolls had a piece of hair ( maybe visible on the last photo with 2 rolls remaining) but they rectified it ASAP and provided a new order complimentary. Would have given 4 stars but you know...the hair thing was eh. I understand it happens sometimes. read more

Oli's is very chill. Sort of like a halfway between fast casual and a greasy spoon. The spam musubi is delicious, and the loco moco is solid--very tasty with white rice. Parking is on the side and is free for the first hour, the gate opens automatically. Also they have good coffee. Overall a decent place with good service. read more

I keep passing by but never went in, definitely should have gone in sooner. They share the parking lot with pucks alley which does free parking if you're there under an hour. Other than that you gotta use an app (?) QR code to pay for your ticket, not sure if i like that aspect of it. They give off such a local family run chill vibe. They weren't super busy...kind of dead actually on a late friday afternoon. Had enough space to put our stroller on the side and they let us sit and eat with our doggo. They have good looking bentos and I feel like they excel at those. I ordered a burger and fries and my yelp bff ordered french toast. There was a good amount of french toast, enough that it had to be saved for breakfast the next day. My burger was smash burger style very straight forward solid burger. would come back again to try more things on the menu! read more

VERY REASONABLE PRICES FOR DECENT FOOD. I think that this place is good for the students at UH because they provide good value. I was once a student at UH and as we all know students don't have much money so I would always try to find places that I could afford to eat at. That being said I tried several items like the hamburger steak, salt and pepper fried chicken and the kalbi. My favorite was the fried chicken. The hamburger steak is rated number one by yelp but I think Asahi Grill is better ... but Asahi Grill charges about $20 as opposed to $10 at Oli's. The kalbi was flavorful but it was pretty tough. The fried chicken was a little dry but the skin was nice and crispy. The fried rice was ok but not outstanding. All in all I think the food would rate three stars but I added an extra star for the low prices. read more

Had a medical procedure and couldn't since all loops, so Ma picked up food for me for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast burrito - I'm not usually a fan of potato in my burritos, but it was pretty good! Tasty burrito. I could only eat half and was still super full. The cilantro sauce was super garlicky which I looooove, but needed some salt and a kick. Furikake salmon - Fed half to baby...she grinded. It was tasty. Had a sauce btu I didn't use it since didn't need it. Rice was cooked to my liking (not school lunch mush) but I fed to hubs and baby for dinner. Got tossed and that was the best part...fresh and pretty. Love me a good salad. And the kicker...Ma said the guy was super nice and helpful. So we'll be back... read more

I love any restaurant that serves breakfast all day so I was happy to have lunch for the first time at Oli's Kitchen. Located at Puck's Alley, Oli's Kitchen offers daily breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring local favorites like loco moco, hamburger steak, and more. Unfortunately due to the egg shortage, I couldn't order the omelet sandwich I wanted. It was no big deal though, because Oli's offers so many great items on their menu. I ended up with the Bulgogi sandwich with fries and it was delicious and filling! Oli's Kitchen is locally owned and operated and they strive to work with local suppliers. They are a great casual eatery with great service. Parking is available in the lot with your first hour free without validation. Second hour was $3. read more

Aw .... I hate to lower my score but the workers were down right obnoxious on my last visit and my food was cold. They were sitting at the tables closest to the wall and speaking about a bday party they all attended for "Chris" I believe. It was so loud between them and the music I couldn't wait to be done. My food was cold but I figure if I complain they will remake it and I'll be stuck here longer listening to this girl talk. I'm hoping this is a one off because I like Oli's and I think it's a cool Vibe. The workers on this particular day though made it uncomfortable. read more

Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: The Cilantro Sauce on anything!! Loved our first experience at Oli's! This restaurant was a great find! The staff was nice, welcoming, and very helpful with the questions we had. I ordered a breakfast burrito with Portuguese Sausage and a spam Musubi. The burrito can with a green cilantro sauce that is TO DIE FOR. Omg, I can't tell you how much I loved that sauce and could seriously drink a cup of it alone.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Oli's Kitchen, and I can't recommend this place enough! From the moment I walked in, they welcomed me with warm aloha and genuine friendliness that made me feel right at home. They checked back on us to make sure everything was delicious...IT WAS! The great staff made the tasty food and the entire experience even more enjoyable. Now, onto the food - where do I even begin? For an appetizer, I ordered the Philly Cheese Egg Rolls. Wow! Crispy, golden, and stuffed with Philly cheese steak that had just the right amount of crunch and seasoning. The spicy cilantro dipping sauce sent these over the top! The Peanut Butter Stuffed French toast was absolutely divine. Perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy banana cream on the inside and drizzled with a rich, gooey, and indulgent maple peanut butter that took my taste buds on a journey. It was comfort food at its finest! I also tried their garlic chicken, which was cooked to perfection - tender and juicy inside and crispy on the outside. Each bite of chicken was bursting with garlicky flavor. Perfect pairing for the creamy Mac salad. The fried rice (upgrade) was excellent and complimented all of the flavors. If you're looking for a place with delicious food and outstanding service, Oli's Kitchen should be at the top of your list. Can't wait to come back and try more of their mouthwatering menu! Breakfast served all day! Open everyday from 8am-8pm Easy parking here at Puck's Alley read more

SOLID! If they could "dress" up the food a little more, this would be at the top of the heap easily. The house burger looked a little small and honestly it didn't look too good without any lettuce or tomato or anything. The fries tasted pretty good, I enjoyed them and they gave a good amount. But after asking my son to try half the burger, he said it was good. I had my doubts but, yes, it was good! The sauce is tasty and the even though I think the burger looks small, it definitely tasted way better than it looked. It was one tasty burger. For myself I wish it was a "deluxe" burger, but it was good. The salt N pepper fried chicken was really good! These were perfectly crispy chicken pieces - perfectly seasoned. It was slightly aggressive in seasoning but so tasty and the Mac salad was good! They gave a LOT of chicken - for me, I just ate half of it - saving it for later. Again, they could have spruced up the plate - maybe adding a little green or something, but taste-wise this is a winning plate! This is one of the best chicken plates around I think. This is a great place and I will be back for sure!!!! read more

I've been here twice in the same month because from the first visit I just couldn't try everything that I wanted. Even from two visits, I still want to go back to try the other things on the menu. On my first visit, I went with two friends, which I highly recommend everyone do so you can try more items on the menu. We decided on the peanut butter banana stuffed french toast, 1/2 garlic chicken & 1/2 salt n pepper fried chicken with an upgrade of fried rice and of course we HAD to get the philly cheese egg rolls. The philly cheese egg rolls is what caught my eye to come here in the first place. They did not disappoint. It came with a spicy cilantro sauce, which was a nice compliment to the egg rolls. The peanut butter banana stuffed french toast was a nice option to counter the other salty items we ordered. I don't think I could have ate that all by myself, so I'm glad I had friends to share it with so I could try it. The chicken dish we got was pretty good. I wish we had just gone with the garlic chicken, but it was good that we at least tried both to know what they are like. The salt n pepper fried chicken was pretty bland. On my second visit to Oli's, I was by myself. I had been wanting to try the breakfast burrito. It's a hefty baby of food being that it is stuffed with your choice of meat (I chose Portuguese sausage), eggs, French fries and cheddar cheese. It comes with the spicy cilantro sauce that also comes with the philly cheese egg rolls. I only ate half and took the rest home to eat later. Service was outstanding both times I visited. Super friendly workers who are patient and helpful for those first-timers like us who were a little overwhelmed by the everything looks delicious menu. I saw a dollar bill taped to the wall. I asked why it was there. The employee said it was the first dollar bill Oli got when he opened the restaurant. Owners who never forget their humble beginnings. I love it. Comfort food at its finest when dining here. Being right next to UH, I hope many college students find their way here to bring lots of business to them. I know I want to go back. read more

Oli's Kitchen is located in the old University Curry House location next to Nijiya Market. You park in the private lot shared with all the tenants in Pucks Alley. The first hour of parking is free. I figured it was best come to eat at Oli's with my friend Oli. We talked about Yelp and who knows? He might be a Yelp Elite soon? The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived so we had to put our name on the list. It didn't take too long to get called. Water and menus were brought to us right away and we were able to order relatively quickly. The kitchen got our orders out in a jiffy considering how busy they were. The restaurant is great for small and medium size parties. We came for lunch but their breakfast looked legit so I definitely want to come here for breakfast one day. Customer service was friendly from the entire staff and everyone was helping each other. Thanks to Rod U's review, I knew what I wanted. Oli ordered the Loco Moco w/white rice, egg over easy, toss salad w/vinaigrette dressing and the gravy on the side. I ordered their Salt N Pepper Fried Chicken w/white rice and toss salad w/vinaigrette dressing. We split the plates in half and shared with each other. The beef patty was prepared medium and was quite good. Egg was a perfect over easy as the yolk just oozed all over the patty. Their gravy wasn't bad and I'm glad my friend got it on the side. The star of the meal was the Salt N Pepper Fried Chicken because it was literally like crack as Rod U stated. It tasted better and better the more I ate it. Even the fried skin was amazing! The chicken was moist, seasoned well and not oily. I highly recommend this dish! Definitely worth waiting in line for to dine here. read more

Oli's Kitchen - Loco Moco w/gravy on the side (top) Salt N Pepper Fried Chicken (bottom) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

5 stars for the unbeatable price and tasty food 3 stars for the service First off, the pictures on their website make the restaurant look like it's a sit down place. It's not. Food is self served. You order at the counter and you pick up the food yourself. Which is great- because I don't always need table service. But, the restaurant is not the most pleasant place to be in visually. The floor and the whole set up is also greasy. I won't come here for a date or anything important. A quick bite is fine. The service his also hit or miss. Got hair in our food one time with no apology. Front desk lady was also not the friendliest. read more

I've driven past this place many times and heard great things about it. There's a lot of parking in the lot with the entrance off University. It's hard to find parking on the ground floor, but there's almost always parking on the roof. We got our parking validated and didn't have to pay. I got the loco moco, which came with mac salad on the side. It was very flavorful but nothing crazy. I liked how light the mac salad was. Service was exceptional. I didn't know they had a student discount, but the waitress asked if I had my UH student ID and offered a 10% discount. That was very kind of her to ask! The food was also taking a little long, but the waitress was apologetic and explained that there was big order that came in. I will definitely be back to try some of their other breakfast items. read more

Very good service. I am very impressed at how nice they were. The food was good for the price. I felt it was fair. POG was refilled, very nice. Satisfied that craving! I do wish there was a bit more gravy with the hamburger steak. It's not a deal breaker, though. Unfortunately, I had to ask for the meat well done since I'm pregnant. I can't judge it off of that. The portion was perfect for me. The spring roll dip was spicy! Lol, I wasn't expecting that. The music wasn't too loud. The biggest concern was how slippery the restroom tile was. Be careful when entering. It might just be me having less balance + lower grip slippers. I would 100% go again. read more

It has been a while since I've dined at this location in Pucks Alley (Coco Ichiban Curry House). This nice eatery is tucked right in and has a lot of space for tables and diners (I have neglected to take interior pics for food and drink again...). The staff is very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout your dining experience and is quick to refill drinks or provide extra napkins without asking. It was my first time dining here, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the following: Half and Half Garlic Chicken and Salt & Pepper Chicken: 8/10. Lightly fried and not oily. Light on the taste with extra sauce to dip the chicken in if you want more flavor. It was enjoyable and a hefty portion that left me satisfied. Philly Cheese Egg rolls: 7/10. Exactly as advertised. They are mini Philly Cheese Steaks rolls with a spicy cilantro dipping sauce (it has a kick). I was quite full from my main course so I wasn't able to enjoy these fully! They were nice and gooey inside. POG: 9/10. I love POG juice and was actually craving it for a while. The glass is quite large and comes with free refills - win-win and a great deal. Overall, this was a wonderful first meal, and I am looking forward to coming back. Again, they had great service and the food was also good. Perhaps I'll try one of their breakfast options for dinner. read more

Being so close to UH Manoa, food from Oli's Kitchen is now the catering of choice for many of the events I've been to at school. After eating many of their bentos and cheeseburgers, I can firmly say that the food is just ok. The garlic chicekn did not hold up well in the packaging and was pretty soggy--even though I had just picked up the food. I thought that the flavors was similar to a Zippy's korean fried chicken, but just not as good. The cheeseburger was nothing special, it didn't have much of a char on the patty. The bread was also a little tough. When I'm eating a cheeseburger, I want a juicy patty, but unfortunately Oli's cheeseburger did not deliver that. Overall, Oli's Kitchen isn't the worst, but it doesn't stand out amongst the hundreds of other local joints. Maybe the food tastes better dining in, so I'll update this review if I do give it a try. read more

There's a reason why Oli's get incredible reviews. If you want to go to a place where you will consistently have a great meal prepared with care , this is the spot. I met Oliver when he managed Sweet E's, his sister's restaurant and was so happy when I heard he opened his own spot! He knows food and he cares about his diners too! I've eaten there and also catered for events and truly onolicious. Support local, consume delicious eats, and say hi to Oliver for me! read more

Another win for our Mo'ili'ili community! Delicious local and breakfast plates (kids love it, too!), reasonably priced, add in friendly service and ample parking... that's a recipe for return customers like me! Location is in the Pucks Alley area where Curry House used to be. $2 parking is available- enter right after the restaurant entrance on University Avenue. Patrons can park on the ground floor as well as the upper levels. Both their Garlic Chicken and Salt & Pepper Chicken are delicious. My husband will not deviate from the Garlic Chicken- Korean marinated chicken thighs friend in potato starch. My young boys love their all-day breakfast options- short stack pancakes with Portuguese sausage, eggs, and fried rice. YUM! Their Breakfast Burrito and Breakfast Scramble are my go-to. Hefty portions but makes great leftovers. Wishing Oli, Skye, and their family all the success in their new business adventure! Cheers to many more years of good eats! read more

BEST customer service, solid, quality food! No nonsense set up, just walk to the counter and order, then have a seat and wait. We love breakfast (ok, I mean *I* love breakfast) so that's one of the first things we had here. Obviously I had the loco moco, which was perfect. I am a stickler for the doneness of an over easy egg and these folks did not disappoint. I'm also a stickler for an authentically housemade gravy and they came through for that too. Win! I do wish they had a Benedict offering as it's one of my favorite breakfast foods, but I'm not going to get picky when what I have had has been so good. Since then we've ordered a couple of other things that have gotten the two thumbs up from my family, but I haven't tasted those things myself. Parking is sometimes free and sometimes not because these folks are located in Puck's Alley. IYKYK, amiright? Just remember to bring your ticket in for validation. Or get takeout! Because they do that too! You won't be sorry you did! read more

Furukake Chicken was so delicious! Super crunchy and tasty ! Drooling just thinking about it ! Ugh ! New fave place for chicken ! I ordered half fried rice and half white rice with the steak.

My friend Jennifer C. turned me onto a new spot for local kine grindz, as she told me about this spot called - "Oli's Kitchen". Where is Oli's Kitchen located??? If you know where the Pucks Alley neighborhood center is, you can find Oli's Kitchen just next door from Nijiya Market. Oli's Kitchen basically took over the old Curry House spot inside of Pucks Alley. Oli's Kitchen features local style comfort food, as they are basically opened for breakfast, lunch, & dinner here. If you decide to come to Oli's Kitchen, I'm sure they'll have something on the menu for everyone. The day I came here with my friend, we decided to do an early Sunday morning breakfast and I'm so glad we came here when Oli's Kitchen first opened, as shortly afterwards, the restaurant was packed with folks! Da Grub - I didn't do anything radical for breakfast, as I just got a plain stack of Pancakes, with a side of Scrambled Eggs. My friend ended up getting the Breakfast Burrito which consisted of - one choice meat - (Portuguese Sausage, Link Sausage, Spam, or Bacon), Eggs, French Fries, Cheddar Cheese, & a Spicy Cilantro Sauce. I must say it was pretty good breakfast grubbage, but as I was looking over the menu, I started spyin' on da Garlic Chicken Plate! I guess the next time I come here for a meal, I must come later to try that Garlic Chicken plate. Service at Oli's Kitchen was on point, very attentive, and friendly. There is lots of parking at Pucks Alley, but the parking is free for just an hour (free 1 hour parking), then afterwards, there is a small charge for parking. I ended up paying just $2 bucks for parking, but if I was smart.........on a Sunday morning, I could have found street parking for free. Go figure........Lol! Looking for local style comfort food, go chance 'em at Oli's Kitchen! read more

We were in the Mōʻiliʻili neighborhood because my husband suggested having lunch at Betty's Burgers Joint (BBJ) again, but we found that BBJ was still temporarily closed for renovation. I suggested trying Tanto Gyoza & Ramen Bar, but he had his heart set on American or local flavored cuisines. So I asked him to take the first available street parking stall off University Avenue to make a decision instead of driving around aimlessly. That's when we said in unison, "Let's try Oli's Kitchen," which we saw promoted on a local television program in late December and read rave reviews from fellow Yelp friends. Unfortunately, we didn't find street parking, but we remembered from Oli's Kitchen's television promotion that 1-hour FREE parking is available in the Puck's Alley parking lot. Upon entry, two males behind the counter heartily greeted us and welcomed us to sit at any vacant table. From other Yelp reviews and photos, we knew this business offered dine-in service, so we cozied up to a table for two. We reviewed the menu and recommended dishes from Yelp friends before entry. So, when one of the friendly males brought us menus and asked if we wanted any beverages other than iced water, we requested two glasses of water and were ready to place our lunch orders. FOOD: -Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken: My husband ordered this entree since he loves deep-fried foods. The boneless and crispy potato starch-crusted deep-fried chicken pieces were crunchy and tasty, but I think he expected more flavor and a lighter crust as in typical Cantonese salt and pepper fried dishes. Also, the fried chicken pieces seemed a bit dry even though the pieces appeared to have been made to order. He also was disappointed with what seemed to be a smaller portion of the entree than he'd seen in other photos. $15.20 (listed on menu)) or $15.73 (price on receipt) -Garlic Chicken: I ordered Oli's version of Korean Fried Chicken, which owes its flavor to its seasoned marinade and sauce. Although the fried chicken pieces were tossed in a Korean garlic sauce, some of the potato-starch crust crunchiness remained without getting overly soggy or bloated. I liked the flavors and textures of my entree and joked with my husband that his love for deep-fried foods must be rubbing off on to me. The portion of chicken pieces that I received seemed to have been more than my husband's, so I shared several pieces with him since he complained about his entree portion. $16.20 (listed on the menu) or $16.69 (price on receipt) Service was amiable, welcoming, and efficient. We observed UH Football staffers coming in to pick up a catered order, which I assume must have been a humongous order because the workers took the orders out through the back and directly to a truck in the parking lot. The McCully-Mō'ili'ili location of Oli's Kitchen makes it a convenient and affordable dining spot for the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa students and most locals. 3.5-stars read more

If you're in the University Ave area looking for a spot for breakfast that isn't too packed with lines, look no further. Oli's Kitchen is located on the corner next to Nijiya Market in Puck's Alley. Parking is conveniently located in the back. The first hour is free and second is $2. The restaurant is small so just be aware if you're coming with a large group. Their breakfast menu consists of like loco mocos, traditional breakfast items, and specialty items like their peanut butter & banana stuffed french toast. That french toast was a chef kiss! It had this cream cheese and banana filling topped with a peanut butter drizzle. Amazing and it wasn't too sweet or too heavy. The breakfast items were great as well. The hash brown and bacon were super crispy. Overall it's a great breakfast spot and not as busy compared to others in the area. Prices are reasonable as well as many breakfast places have gone up in the area. read more

This hole in the wall deserve major kudos! We ordered the Salt n Pepper Chicken, Hamburger Steak with Fried Rice and the Philly Cheese Egg Roll with their Cilantro dipping sauce.. and OMG, those rolls plus the sauce burst with so much interesting flavors combined! It was complimentary of each other. The chicken was super tasty n crispy, and the skin was that perfect crunch. I had only a small taste of the Hamburger Steak n Fried Rice, but what I did have seem to have been pretty good too. The Owner was the first to greet us and get us seated right away, and the food was served in a very little wait time. Excellent customer service! There are paid parking nearby and conveniently located near other eateries and a mini market. Two thumbs up for this local joint!! read more

Service was great. Man... I don't want to catch a lot of flack for this review... but the food was just ok. We got the breakfast burrito and loco moco. I ordered a hot tea and water. "Hot" tea water came out warm but not hot. Burrito looked sooo good but the flavor and texture was just lacking. Needed salt, spices and just something else that was not there. The cilantro sauce was ok but a little too sweet for my taste. Again... I adore an aioli - especially a cilantro, verde, spicy, savory mayo. This was not it. Loco Moco - basic - delicious - hard to mess up... The rice was mushy and overcooked - the gravy has no seasoning. Eggs - cooked nicely over easy as requested. But the rest left me wanting for more. Will definitely come back to try the French toast and waffles. But so far not as impressed as I thought I'd be based on the social media hype and my own taste buds. read more

If you're wondering if it's worth the drive from the West Side...it is! From the moment we stepped in we were greeted and seated with Aloha. It's a casual diner setting, but also with tables spaced out enough to provide some privacy. We ordered the salt & pepper chicken, breakfast burrito and garlic chicken. The spicy cilantro sauce that came with the burrito was so good we dipped the chicken in it as well. The salt & pepper chicken was cooked perfectly, the chicken was tender and the right amount of seasoning. We also dipped it in gravy....highly recommend you add this to your chicken dishes. The garlic chicken was tender and the right blend of sauce. We will definitely be returning in the future to get our fix. Thank you Oli! read more

I've heard of Oli's Kitchen but never tried them until a friend got them for lunch today. I was excited since I was super hangry! I got hamburger steak with the fresh green mixed salad. The hamburger steak was cooked perfectly but needs a little more seasoning to. Don't be shy;) The salad was refreshingly crisp with the diced/chopped onions dipped in ranch dressing. We also tied the Philly cheese egg rolls served with spicy cilantro dressing. I tried the rolls with and without the sauce. I think it's perfect on its own. The spicy cilantro dressing can be mixed with the ranch for added flavor with the green salad. And we got free mac salad. Who doesn't like freebies?! I know I do! :) I can't say much about the service and the ambiance of the restaurant since I didn't go myself. But I'll definitely check it out in person next time and do a follow up review. read more

Came here with friends- it was a 1st visit - found the entrance to parking confusing as there isn't a sign to help you locate the parking entrance! If you frequent the area you may know how it all works but if you haven't it may mean a trip around the block since it looks like they only have one entry & exit! Walking into the restaurant-the staff greater us - seated us with menu' & utensils and took our drink order - friendly staff Hamburger & onions with gravy - served with Mac salad & rice - they mix their own hamburger and use a seasoning that we didn't care for so won't be ordering it again Kalbi plate was really good - meat marinated well and grilled perfectly Spicy fried chicken was the bomb and will be back for more! On a side note their Mac salad tasted sour next time it's the green salad for me! Staff & service is top notch the food has a few hit & misses but we'll be back to try them again read more

If you are looking for a little hole in the wall place with local flair and good food, this is the place. It's a bit outside of the Waikiki area for tourists, but they are friendly and welcoming. There are only about 5-6 tables, and they do have take out. We ordered Loco Moco which were huge servings. I had the salt and pepper chicken which was delicious. My daughter had the garlic chicken. Each plate is served with a scoop of rice and a scoop of mac salad. The prices are decent and the portion sizes are plenty. There is a parking lot which is free for the first hour. read more
