Whiskey Smoke 808…read more Whiskey Smoke 808 @whiskeysmoke_808 is a family-owned BBQ spot right in the heart of Kāneʻohe, serving up wood-smoked meats with local island flavors. We stopped in for lunch around noon this past Sunday, and it was already fairly busy. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. I ordered the 2 Choice Plate with pulehu ribs and brisket, along with potato mac and BBQ beans. We also ordered the All Meat Plate, which was a great way to sample several of their popular meats and came with pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, by the time we ordered, they were already sold out of the cornbread, peach cobbler, and brisket meatloaf. So if there's something specific you want to try, I'd definitely recommend getting there earlier! Of course, I had to try a couple of their sauces too--the Coffee Bourbon and Guava Chili Pepper. My mom and I also shared the cherry cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. My favorites were definitely the pulehu ribs and BBQ beans. The ribs had great flavor, and those beans were probably the side I'd order again without hesitation. Service could use some improvement. Our first plate took over 20 minutes, with the second arriving more than 10 minutes later, making it hard to enjoy our meal together. We also waited an additional 30 minutes for the freshly baked cherry cobbler. The staff was friendly, but better timing and communication would've made the overall experience much smoother. The banana pudding, on the other hand, was really good and ended the meal on a sweet note! Would I come back? Yes. There are still a few sold-out items I'd like to try, especially that brisket meatloaf and peach cobbler. So I'll definitely come earlier next time. Supporting a locally owned, family-run Kāneʻohe business while getting my BBQ fix? I'm here for it. #queeniesdiabadassfoodjourney #hawaiistagram #supportlocal #hawaiieats #diabeticfoodie

I've been to this Mahaloha Burger location on Hekili Street, only once, and it was a few years ago…read more Mahaloha Burger, if I recall correctly, first opened a location in Waikiki...andI've been there and in the Ala Moana Center Lanai Food Court. Burgers are similar in quality - these are grass-fed, local ( Big Island ) beef burgers - to some of the upscale, fast casual burger places that have opened in recent years on Oahu. Dining area is small but there is a mezzanine for additional seating. I got takeout...the #8 Loco Moco Burge

After a brief time spending the day in Kailua it was time for lunch and it was Mahaloha Burger for us and with some parts of Kailua biggest challenge is parking but these merchants on Hekili Street which is right across from Kailua Town Center does have it's own parking in the back is very convenient when you're unable to find street parking. Though quite small the vibe of this restaurant is just adorable lots of statement of Aloha some are fun and cheesy, I ordered the most popular item #9 Mushroom Swiss with fries though I was tempted with the many of their specialty fries is always yummy along with any of their dipping sauce. We're given a buzzer though it took no time to receive our order and gosh what a lovely burger cooked perfectly but you know what would make it better...dine in during their "Happy Hour" weekdays only from 3pm-5pm it's $2 off any burger or hot dog and $1 off specialty fries and yes they also have beer...cheers to this play filled with Aloha. Thank you!

Absolutely divine!…read more The entrance was a little confusing cause there was a grad party going on so we almost couldn't find our way in but I'm so glad we did! I saw the pictures of the melts and got excited, they did not disappoint! The service was very fast and pretty attentive, we were only drinking water cause we had just finished snorkeling and needed to hydrate but they made sure our glasses were full and checked to ensure everything was good (it really really was). I wouldn't even just recommend this place to someone on the windward side, I would say if you're on island it's a pretty good spot to make sure you try!

They even have spiked slushies for $7 on happy hour! We got their lobster roll with onion rings and a pitcher of their big wave. The food served here is really great, especially for a golf course!

Support Local, Support Small Business!…read more This is a nice cozy Family-owned business. Not only a Diner/Restaurant but also has Merchandise and a hub for local made products. Also, on the Weekends you have Live Music while you eat. The menu is catered to the Local Hawaiian-American Breakfast, Brunch, or Lunch taste. It is pretty large as you could order Breakfast from open to Close at 2 PM. From simple Eggs, Rice, & Meat; Omelets, Pancakes & Waffles, to Plate Lunches, Sandwiches, and fresh Fruits and Desserts. On the Menu, some are marked as Popular Dishes, like mines Hapa Loco Moco Bowl: Hamburger patty and Corned Beef Hash Patty in Loco Moco form. Since it is covered in gravy and the egg, you only can tell the meat is cutting into or looking for it while eating. I'm glad Mac Salad or other sides are Ala Carte or sold separately because I was stuffed after eating it. Service was awesome! Staff was nice and friendly. I saw one was willing to talk story to a table who was asking about the Business'History. Only complaint and drop a Star is Beverage Refills. While family got Coffee refills, I vaguely remember Water refills and more important was my Drink (Raspberry Iced Tea) even though it was a Big cup, no one checked if I wanted more. (I would have taken 1/2 glass full towards the end or topped off depending when they asked.) 2nd time here, if it wasn't a family outing and good time the first time, I would only return if the fam wants to come here again for Brunch/Lunch after we pay our respects to family at Valley of the Temple the nearby Cemetery.

The Malunggay noodles had a tangy sauce on them and the pork was very tasty. We ended the meal with the ube cheesecake which was great. The lady who helped us with our order was very sweet and asked if we needed containers to share. There isn't any seating space so we ate our food in the car.

It's tangy, gives a bit of tartness that balances the fat and the richness from the patty. Their fries are also good too, crispy and krinkle cut to the T.

We heard a lot about this place from my friend (one person) so we decided to give them a try…read more We were told to try their Teri cheese burger deluxe with fries. I was told that's all that's good. When I opened my burger it's kinda small and flat. There was no Teri sauce on it, they gave us the wrong burger. Go figure, my wife said the employees were doing a lot of talking to themselves not paying attention to the order. People were waiting by the window but the employees were too busy talking in the back. Hard to find good help. The burger wasn't good like it was told to us. It's just ok. I guess that's what you get for $5, it's better than a Mc Donald's burger. Most of the fries were over cooked but I liked it crispy, not my wife. If you want a ok burger for $5 and you don't mind the wait for the employees to take notice of you, stop by. I like to say support local but come-on gotta be worth going.
