This is a 35 year old family run eatery. The food is just delicious! The service is super fast and friendly! The ambiance is small clean diner feel. They also have an upstairs when they're busy. We love this place. They never gouge you on price and I think for the money, quality and portion, this is definitely in the top five on island. I arrived here in 1989. They opened in 1988 so that should tell you something! It's located about 150 feet from the Ice Palace with plenty of parking. I add their delicious Teri sauce on my rice and bbq chicken. And their Mac salad is very good. You should check this place out! You can thank me later!

Came back to my hometown for my wing fix... still ono-lish! Giant fries turned into seasoned fries (just as good). Prices still lower than other eateries!

SMALL CHOCOLATE MALT... PRICEY BUT TO ME... WELL WORTH IT!

Always the best LAST MINUTE CHICKEN WINGS, NOODLES & PICNIC PACK!! Anyone who comes here knows this is the place to come to for the bbq food! I hope they NEVER LEAVE!!! Thank you MAMA's for everything and for always being so good to us!

Chicken Wings
Russ L.

First time here and might be the last. I've always wanted to try this place. So today why not have have chicken wings to go with my poke. It's crispy, crunchy, but a bit dry inside. The wings tasted like it was left in the freezer too long.

The Malt. It's good but not for the price.

Are we spoiled by the fancy burgers everywhere? You know we are. So it's nice to get an old-time burger for $5 - $9 (the double). Simple but not boring. Check out the beef patty, you'll find some tiny bits of onion cooked into the beef. It's like they cooked the patty on a layer of onions. IYKYK. Go there for the hamburger. You might complain about how plain it is, but you won't stop eating it. If you've never had a chocolate malt before, give it a try. It's too pricy, so I won't get it the next time.

Teri beef combo w bbq chx You can create you own combo This was delicious
Kristin C.

Just what I was craving for! Requested teri beef and teri chicken combo and the eager cashier said you can do any combination you'd like, and glad I did. The marinate was good, the teriyaki beef was tender, the chicken was a bit overcooked but didn't matter it was still good to us. Mister and I split the regular size plate and dined in. Busy restaurant, fast service.

Came for their Ginger Chicken... Sold out :'( so sad yet not done plan B was their Hibachi Chicken...why cause I couldn't find a picture of it on Yelp so just wondering what it was. At $8.50 the mini plate is a great deal and consists of a scoop of white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad, the rice was quite mushy...bleh and the salad was okay it came with tow pieces of skinless chicken which I was quite impressed and was coated with what looks similar with the sauce they use in the ribs...kinda bland and didn't care for it. There's so many types of chicken dishes this is not recommended. The vibe is the basic dive shop with for large tables and a smaller two seater though is nice that the have some tables to dine in casually the staff is nice and can see why it's a popular spot with lots of free parking just steps away. Thank you!

11/08/24 Combo plate with chicken katsu,  4 small BBQ ribs,  all mac
Kathy R.

11/08/24 Went to pick up late lunch & dinner for hubby & stopped in just before 2PM, Friday. We've come to this place off and on over the yrs to get our BBQ fix since this place is close to the house. There was plenty of available parking. Sometimes the parking lot gets so full from the surrounding food places & the ice skating rink. The restaurant was empty, no line. Tables & floors were clean. There was a woman behind the counter & a couple of cooks in the back. They have such a huge, extensive menu that it takes time to go thru it all. They have several specials posted under the main menu board as well as at the front counter. Brown rice is available. They offer so many different combos that it is hard to choose & mini plates are also available on some of the entrees. i ended up ordering 2 sandwiches and 2 plates. Teri pork sandwich - it was ok, average tasting - 2 thin slices of BBQ pork on a hamburger bun slathered with mayo with a wilted piece of lettuce. Chicken burger - good sized BBQ chicken thigh skinless on a hamburger bun, mayo, & wilted piece of lettuce. Hubby liked it. It had good flavor & tasty. BBQ chicken/teri beef combo plate with mac salad toss salad, no rice. Quantity was great. 2 large pieces of boneless/skinless chicken. Same chicken as in the sandwich - tasty & good flavor. Teri beef - good portion. I wanted to really like this like the chicken but I did not care for it. It was marinated but not long enough & the taste of it was very salty. Mac salad was ok, but way too much mayo. Toss salad with just iceberg letter & a few tomato wedges. The salad was on the bottom of the plate covered by the hot chicken & beef, thus making the salad soggy. Chicken katsu/BBQ rib special for hubby, all mac. Huge quantity of chicken katsu. Disappointed that it only came with 4 small ribs. Each rib measured about 1 1/2" long. Mac salad covered the bottom of the plate topped by the hot entrees, making it looks pretty messy. Ribs were ok but the katsu was hard to eat, lot of it was overcooked & dried out. We ended up tossing what was left of the katsu. Even though I was the only customer at the time of ordering, my order still took 10 - 15 minutes. While I waited, several people came in to pick up catered orders. They seem to do a good business with those. No wonder my food was taking longer than expected, they were cooking for these big orders. It's definitely not fast food if you are in a hurry. Overall, we thought their BBQ was average, nothing stood out that made it special. But they do have a huge menu & lots of combos, good quantity of food for a reasonable price.

Chicken Katsu and Ginger Chicken
Jen C.

I haven't been here in a long time and I needed lunch and was craving some chicken katsu. I ended up wanting both chicken katsu and cold ginger chicken and found out i can get a mixed combo for $16. It was ready in just a few minutes which is great since I needed to take it to go and was in a hurry. The portions were huge! The chicken katsu was crispy yet juicy and the sauce is really good! The cold ginger chicken had generous amounts of ginger and onions and was so good with the mac salad and rice. I have enough food for 2 more meals! This place seemed to have a lot of phone orders and was quite busy! They have reasonable cheaper mini plates too like the mini chicken katsu is only $8.95. Highly recommend!

Still love their food and prices. Very convenient and large portions. Only problem is parking is hard

***3.5 STARS*** A few months ago, some of my foodie friends decided to try new places we've never been to on a State holiday and had Stadium Giant Malts and BBQ (SGM) bookmarked. Prior to coming to here, we were discussing of places that interested us and for me, it was Ramfis B., who would post pics of the chicken wings from here that would make my mouth water. After meeting up earlier in the morning for coffee and a lite snack, we parted ways and met a few hours later for lunch at SGM. SGM, which serves local style plate lunches, burgers and some Chinese food options. They took over the space that was previously occupied by Bob's BBQ way back in 2010 (?). We arrived at the agreed 12pm time and had the darnest challenging time looking for a parking stall. SGM is located in Stadium Mall that is occupied with multiple businesses so I had to circle the mall multiple times before I was able to score a stall. Upon entering SGM, luckily there was an empty booth that we secured as the restaurant was packed. A handful of patrons were already sitting down eating and had quite a few people standing as they waited for their carryout orders. I had omakase reservations later that day for an early dinner so I strategically planned my food order: side order of fried chicken wings. Had to pass on the carbs that you get in a plate lunch to save precious stomach space for sushi later that day. We stood in line to place our order and then waited patiently for our food. THE VERDICT: The fried chicken wings were indeed delicious. Made to order, 10 flats were lightly breaded with a pleasant, exterior crust that had a great crunch. Wings were made to order so they were piping hot, the way I like to eat my food. However, they were slightly heavily seasoned to my taste so I found myself craving for some rice, which I didn't have any. I ended up repeatedly drinking water to offset the saltiness. I offered my wings to my dining mates where they all agreed were tasty and mentioned they'd order this should they return to SGM. Coincidentally, all 3 dining mates ordered hamburger steak and commented they acknowledged the homemade patties but the gravy was underwhelming. The rice was okay and the macaroni salad was nothing to write home about, as evidenced my friends not finishing them up. Service was at par as it's self service here. You stand in line to order and after paying, you claim your food at the counter. SGM really had the old school vibe with non digital menus with signs posted all over. In closing, mixed feelings on SFM and glad that I finally tried them. This is not a place I'd bring my family to. I'd be game for a return visit but not eager to go back in the near future.

When u want a juicy, homemade burger on a soft bun with GIANT WEDGE fries, this is the place! Adding a chocolate malt shake would've been a bit too much but their malts are also yummy!

I miss the outing with my fellow yelpers on a State holiday 2024. Paul C. said he wanted to try their chicken wings. Well since I had a pick up at target salt lake we decided to go and try um. I ordered the fried chicken wings plate maybe I ordered wrong because it came with 2 scoops rice Mac salad and the wings. ‍ My husband had the cheeseburger and chocolate malt. I wanted French fries but it didn't come with enough salt on it just like crinkle type fries which I always get from someplace else. Lol. The cheeseburger was ok but the buns wasn't soft it was dry. The wings were ok to me not enough salt inside the chicken before they deep fry um. It was crispy and serve very hot. Well at least we try this place even though we couldn't hook up with my yelp friends the last time.

Just had the chocolate malt, which was good. Paying close to $10 for a small choc malt kind of hurt my soul though. Blame inflation!

Does this place have indoor seating?

Yes, it did. It had a few old school bench seating tables to eat on. However, I'm not sure if they're opened. I think they're under renovation.

Best sandwich on the island…read more Freshly baked bread with just the right amount of crunch. The OG sandwich had a wonderful complement of pickles and meats. The Vietnamese coffee was a revelation as well - as good of an iced coffee you can hope for. Could not recommend more highly.

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I read Donna O.'s review and saw her photos of Munch on Mi. I agreed with her about the name of the business... cute... and clever! Located at the Liliha Food Court, the shared parking with McDonald's is free! Inside, there's a common dining area with all of the vendors. It's quiet and nicely air-conditioned, with a convenient restroom! Service was super friendly and efficient. I was asked if i wanted pate on my Lemongrass Tofu Banh Mi. At first, I thought it was an odd question. Then, I thought... why not! Let's try it! The next question was: would you like jalapeños? My answer: no, thank you! That's a great question because you won't waste jalapeños on me! I was given a buzzer that would alert me as to when my order was ready. I the meantime, I visited the other vendors. Soon, my order was ready and I took it to my table. My first impression: wow... the sandwich is longer than the package! Next impression: mmm... this tastes super delicious! The bread had a crisp crust and the filling was generous! It spilled out onto my napkin which I licked up! LOL! The pate added a different dimension to the banh mi. It had a tasty, complimentary flavor! I went back to the staff to let them know how excellent that pate was. They were beaming when they explained that they clean the liver really well before they create the pate. It had a pleasant, savory taste... not the usual gaminess! Try it! You might like it! I'll be back!

Stopped by the Moanalua location for lunch on a Saturday and had such a great experience!…read more Right when we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome, which always makes a difference. The girl at the register was super friendly and helpful, and the whole team just seemed on it. We were honestly blown away by how fast everything came out. Our sandwiches were ready in what felt like less than 2 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch without sacrificing quality. We shared the BLT with added avocado and the Goodfella with added bacon, and both were delicious. Everything tasted great, and the service really stood out. We will definitely be back!

It's meat between a roll of dough…read more I've been here a few times. Mainly because it's close to Pearl Harbor and they are quick making the subs. Timmy has a decent selection and prices are good. It's cheaper than Subway but they don't have as many hot heros as them. I have to ask for extra mayo because their bread is harder and dryer than what I'm use to in a grinder. Timmy T's does a good mix of naming their hoagies after American and Hawaiian themes. Overall three stars. It's not my favorite but they are reasonably priced and close to base. Flavor is there as long as you ask for extra mayo and oregano :p M

I've always like the location of this store with the huge parking lot & how clean & well-stocked the store is. The eating area is good sized with a pizza bar, hot soup & food bar, & salad bar. For made to order food, there's a coffee bar with baked goods, sandwiches & burgers, wok bowls, and smoothies. Lots to choose from. We came mainly to try the new promotional mac nut haupia smoothie. It comes in one size only, 16 oz and pricey at $11.99. The drink is ono but I think the toasted coconut made it too sweet. The haupia would have been enough to give the drink that coconut taste. We each ordered the black bean & beet burger - my fave! It's very tasty & a good sized sandwich with toppings of your choice, very filling. I also ordered from the salad bar, the kale & beet salad - another fave! It's the only way I'll eat kale. Over the years I've tried a lot of their food. The baked goods are even better than Starbucks, especially the banana bread & the blueberry scones. Ordering is easy from the kiosks set up in the food area. Since it's all cooked to order, not fast food so it does take a few minutes wait time. Down to Earth is a great place to get some healthy, tasty food, give them a try!

I would add a touch more salt to the meat but overall very good. I've had some variations of chicken parm here and they have tasted amazing but between the crispy chicken and crusty bread it's like taking sandpaper to your gums. The heat and moisture from the cheesesteak really softens the bread and allowed it to shine. So if you're having a hard time with the bread like me, give the cheesesteak a try. The waffle fries are really good too!

Really disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken chipotle cheesesteak and it was honestly one…read moreof the worst subs I've had. I grew up on the east coast and that sure did not taste like an east coast chicken cheesesteak. The sandwich wasn't put together properly, so everything kept falling out while I was trying to eat it. The grilled peppers were barely even cut up, some were basically huge slices or half a pepper instead of being chopped into pieces that actually fit in a sandwich. On top of that, there was so much grease or butter that it soaked completely through the bread and turned it into a mushy mess. Between the soggy bread, oversized peppers, and filling constantly falling everywhere, it was almost impossible to eat. I got so frustrated that I eventually wrapped the sandwich back up, threw it in the trash and walked out. I ended up walking over to Moku happy hour instead, where I had an appetizer a full meal, and dessert for only about $2 more than this one sandwich cost me. That really put the price and quality into perspective. Definitely not worth it and I won't be ordering this again. Should have asked for my money back!
