Beware... apparently they don't accept $50 bills even though their sign says otherwise haha. Grammar isn't their worker's strongest suit??

Experience picking up the pizza was not the greatest.. I ordered 1 large pepperoni pizza (total was $27.63) and handed over a $50 bill. Please note, there was a sign on the register that stated "we do not accept bills larger than $50." The worker asks me if i have any smaller bills and said "no...?" I went back to my car to find EXACT cash change. Came back to go pay, another worker assisted and tells me "Oh sorry today we have special deals on the pizza. Your total will be $20." Flat $20? Hm... Filed a complaint with Papa John's. Never heard back from them. Hope they care about their customer's satisfaction? Maybe put up a sign that says "We do not accept $50 or $100 bills" Overall, Papa John's service was odd and pizza tasted mediocre. Me & my family rarely go out and order food, but decided that we wanted to have a pizza night. Pizza hut tasted way better. Only positive thing about it was their garlic butter lol...

Papa John's is located across American Savings Bank on Hamakua Drive. This location recently open. I became a fan of Papa John's when they opened up in Mapunapuna. Now that they have a location in Kailua where I live we decided to go. The service was very friendly. Ordered my pizza and got it in about 10 minutes. This I thought was fast since I saw only one worker. Ordered a 12 inch pepperoni, olive and mushroom pizza with light sauce. I asked if I had a choice of crust. Was told that the 12 in. came only with a garlic crust. Bottom line is it's not what I remembered. But it's nice to have another pizza option in Kailua.

Pizza.  Nothing special.  Good luck getting it in your hands though.

Ordered a pizza with an online special of 2x1 for Super Bowl Sunday party. Doordash driver shows up with one. We called Papa John's and they said yes, we have a special let us direct your call to the store. After a long conversation with the mgr, he agrees the online processing messed up and was going to refund our $. BUT he couldn't figure that out! So we asked for the second pizza and we'd pick it up. He sounded upset,"Which one do you want?? The refund or the pizza??" "Well, you can't figure out the refund so the only option left is the pizza! And we'll pick it up!" Two hours later, we get our second pizza. First pizza is cold, the game has started, we get charged the delivery fee AND they kept our 10% tip. The pizza was mediocre. Should've done Costco hot dogs.

Nice to have Papa John's location in Kailua Town. Another choice for pizza when ordering.

FYI, No where to sit, pick up only. Pizza is fair but passable if you're hungry and don't want to go out or break the bank.

My wife and I stopped buy because we were hungry and couldn't decide where to eat. We found this…read moreplace on google and said "what the heck why not". I ordered the combo seafood plate with teriyaki chicken. My wife got some fried noodle with chicken plate. We really loved my plate, which had a fried fish cutlet and 4 fried shrimp plus the chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. The fish itself had an amazing crunch when you cut into it. Like the most crispiest thing ever. My wife's plate....was not that great. Noodles lacked flavor and the chicken as well. The portions are honestly huge for one person. If you plan to eat hurt for a quick bite, I recommend sharing the combo plates. Before I forget, the Mac salad was amazing! The employees were nice and quick to get the food out! The restaurant itself was clean.

Unfortunately, we've had multiple issues with Oh My Grill in Kailua. When we dined in, I waited…read moreover 30 minutes for my food. I even asked about my order, but instead of double checking it, I could see some of the staff laughing and playing around. Eventually they realized my food had been made and packaged as a to go order. Another time, we called in an order about 15 minutes before arriving. When we got there, the employee hadn't checked on our order, which was already made and just sitting on the counter and we ended up waiting another 15 minutes. To top it off, they refused to accept my $100 bill because a tiny piece of the corner was torn off. The bill came directly from my bank that way and was otherwise intact. I understand businesses can have policies regarding damaged bills, but combined with the repeated order issues and lack of attention, it made the whole experience even more frustrating. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but the service and attention to customers definitely need improvement.

Zippy's is a Hawaii staple, and if you're visiting the islands, it's definitely a place you should…read moreexperience at least once. The menu has something for everyone, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. For some reason, I've always thought the takeout felt a little expensive, but dining in makes everything seem much more reasonably priced. Maybe it's just a mind trick! One thing I always appreciate is the service. The staff is consistently friendly, and I especially love that you're often greeted by a local aunty. It gives the restaurant a welcoming, hometown feel that makes the experience even better. My go-to order is usually the Korean Fried Chicken, which never disappoints. But on my most recent visit, a friend convinced me to try his all-time favorite: the spaghetti with chili. I had never even considered putting chili on pasta before, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It was absolutely delicious and easily one of the biggest surprises I've had at a restaurant. If you're stopping by Zippy's, don't be afraid to order something outside your comfort zone. The spaghetti with chili is an underrated gem that's definitely worth trying. Between the friendly service, generous portions, and local comfort food, it's easy to see why Zippy's has been a favorite in Hawaii for generations.

Since I've been coming to "Zips" for decades, I'm always curious to try their new dishes whenever…read morethey come out with one. I noticed a while ago that they introduced one called firecracker karaage chicken, so that was what I ordered for lunch. I typically use the app for speed and convenience. Just a few clicks, and I was on my way. They usually send a text message when the order is ready, but I didn't get one so I just drove up to the drive-thru, rand the buzzer, and "wallah", my order was ready. The taste and texture wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I would consider karaage, or "firecracker", either. The description in the app said "boneless fried chicken mixed with housemade sauce... topped with spicy mayo sauce". Well, I'll admit, that describes it, but it's just not karaage, and the sauce wasn't that spicy. It tasted like their Korean fried chicken topped with buffalo sauce mixed with mayo. I was expecting the chicken to be "lighter", since traditional karaage doesn't use a batter, and perhaps more of a Sriracha style spicy sauce. Like I said, not bad, just not spicy karaage. The service is always fast and the food and value is good, so I'll keep trying anything new... and hoping.

I just have to blow off some steam by writing this, and then hope this was an isolated experience…read more Usually, this location is pretty fast regardless of what time of day you go. Obviously, if it's really busy with a line of cars, you'd expect a little wait, but tonight was maddening. I placed my order (Junior Jumbo Jack, 2 tacos, and onion rings) thru the Jack app at 8:01pm, with a scheduled pickup time of 8:12pm; pretty normal. I live less than a mile away, so normally take my time to drive down and will get there in less than 10 minutes. I typically will just give them my name at the drive thru, and my order will be handed to me as soon as I get to the pickup window; in and out in less than a couple of minutes. Tonight, however, I got to the drive thru at 8:10pm and gave them my name. There were only 2 cars in front of me. It took 20 minutes for them to process the 2 cars and it was 8:30 when I pulled up to the window. There was only 1 employee working the front; servicing both the inside counter and the drive thru, with 1 other person in the kitchen. They were obviously, very shorthanded, but the person behind the counter appeared to have only 2 speeds; slow, and overwhelmed. It took her almost 10 minutes before she even came to the window because she was serving another customer at the inside counter. By the time I received my food, it was 8:42 (over 30 minutes from the time I got to the drive thru, and the originally scheduled pickup time). I actually called the number for the District Manager that was displayed on the sign at the window, but got a recorded message, and then hung up on. What the heck is going on with Jack's?? At least the food was hot and tasted good, for what it was.

First off. Why did Jack n box switch to these huge containers that now look like they're shorting…read moreus on food. And secondly the sideways bag doesn't work... this is what your food looks like being sideways... sloppy. Not a fan. The black containers were better also reusable these are a no for me
