Lemonade

Stopped by for a bite to eat. Stumbled on this place so decided to try it. It is in an area where all the food trucks are. They do have some specials but I guess you have to get there early as they were sold out of some of them. Also the Cuban sandwiches are premade so no adjustments. The food was ok but lacking in flavor. We did try the waffle dog. We got the cheeseburger which came with fries and a lemonade. They do have some picnic tables with some covering for some shade.

Smoke chicken and ribs plate

no line unlike the other food truck that was around. we got the smoke chicken and smoke ribs plate with a side of corn on a stick. The Cajun seasoning for corn was bomb and delicious, definitely going back. Overall 11/10

We was ono for elote, street corn...etc...lol! The corn place we always go to is closed every time we go north shore. Glad I saw the beach bus because they have and they was open! For me it was steep at $8.00 each but like my wife said best $8.00 we ate today and it's our wedding anniversary so we splurged all day...lol!

Cuban Crispy Sandwich with Loaded Fries

Cuban sandwich was amazing service was on point with lots of places to sit and eat overall a very good place would recommend.

The food was delicious he was super nice. Our Girl Scout Troop got hooked up! Big portions and delicious. The Cubano Sandwich and garlic french fries is where it's at. Thank you so much. Mahalo

ABSOLUTELY FIRE Not only was the Bus Burger Combo incredibly delicious and filling, but the crew had it ready fresh off the grill within 4 minutes. Got a loaded sweet corn that the wife loved. To put the cherry on top, they have their own lemonade that comes with it that was very tasty and not loaded with sugar. We caught the sun set at the benches located next to the bus. There are multiple food truck around and a market that has ALOT of stuff to look at. I would recommend this place for everyone to visit while on the island. Don't even question it....JUST DO IT!

We love this place and always stop by when we're in town! The pulled pork is awesome, the corn is sooooo tasty and fills the Woodys shaped hole in our hearts. Super glad The Beach Bus is open for business so we can get our corn and bbq fix when we're on the north shore!

Warning! This is the great deception! A waffle with tiny bits of banana. NOT a whole banana dipped in waffle!

YELPER BUYERS BEWARE! While this friendly local little food truck draws you near with its postings about waffle goodies and yummy sweet corn, smothered in butter & tangy spices. The corn, while pricey at $8.00 for a single cob, satisfies with rich buttery flavor and the great spice & parmesan cheese on top. However, The banana waffles on a stick, are not quite what you might think of. I was very disappointed in the so-called "banana waffle". I even asked if they use local kine candy apple banana & the server enthusiastically said YES! However, they don't tell you the banana is cut up or smashed & stirred into the waffle batter! BUYER BEWARE! They are deceiving you by using a small amount of actual banana instead of using a whole or even half a banana to dip & bake in the shape of a banana on a stick, before smothering it with a chocolate & peanut-butter drizzle. It's a hollow banana shaped waffle with a tiny amount of banana inside!!! A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side comes with it. However I feel that's false advertising, to sale what is more like a banana flavored waffle, than an actual banana inside a waffle! I was looking forward a nice local banana inside. Much like a corn dog! It was ok but not worth $10.00! I feel like a tourist that just got used for a $10.00 sale! I would come back and pay $10.00 for a whole banana waffle on a stick. Not the imaginary banana shaped waffle on a stick! So bummed I didn't get a waffle coated local candy apple banana on a stick!

Came to the North Shore Oahu for our wedding anniversary. We've been here for three days and so far, we have only had one decent meal and have been terribly disappointed with the rest. Yesterday, we meant to get dinner here at the Beach Bus, but they had already sold out. We went to the food trucks at the adjacent Kahuku Sugar Mill Food Trucks and were very disappointed with the meal we had at a Huli Huli Chicken Food Truck that had been visited by Guy Fieri. So don't go to that one! We came back today (a Saturday) after having a disappointing breakfast in Historic Hale'iwa Town. I ordered the chicken plate at The Beach Bus and hubsters ordered the Cubano with garlic fries. My chicken plate came with white rice, corn on the cob with butter and garlic seasoning and three pieces of smoked chicken thighs with bbq sauce. The 3rd piece of chicken was extra as their chicken plates usually come with two pieces of chicken. The chicken was epic - freshly cooked, tender and flavorful! And the corn on the cob was amazing with the butter and garlic seasoning! And the white rice was ... well ... uh... just that! White rice! You can't mess that up! My husband stated his Cubano was delicious! A huge portion served with garlic seasoned french fries. I'm not a big fan of Cubanos but I can definitely say that the fries were awesome! I highly recommend The Beach Bus if you are looking for a good meal in the North Shore! We will definitely be coming back!

I only purchased dessert so I can't speak for the main entrees but I loved what I purchased. The ice cream is homemade, they have deep fried cheesecake (my favorite dessert), and the employees are extremely polite and fun to talk to. They even have a little wild mascot named Gecky who loves powdered sugar :) Love the vibe, they play music loudly so it's a different energy the some of the Kahuku food truck area, but it adds to the fun. Highly recommend!

Kahuku Corn on a cob $8
Lou C.

I was drawn by the shave ice since there was a long line at Giovani's Shrimp Truck. Ty's Beach Bus was just across the unpaved road on a high mound. After I parked nearby, got out of car and started walking toward the truck for some snacks. I saw corn vendors on the way to Kahuku Sugar Mill. But I couldn't stop to get them. My friends were laughing at me about stopping the in middle of nowhere. Adding a corn for $8 was not a big deal at the time, until I saw what happened next. I walked back to my car and asked my friend to take a picture of me holding both cord and shave ice on both hands. The oil dripped all over my shorts. I didn't notice that until I got back to my hotel. The corn was drenched with butter-flavored oil and not enough spices on the corn. I remember Kahuku Corns used to be tender and sweet. But mine was not. Most importantly, why would you put that much oil? I would never understand. Now, about the shave ice. I took some bites before I handed it to my friend who loved strawberry everything. When I returned from washing my hands, I saw the red ice ball on the ground. Come to find out, there were ants inside of the shave ice. Just to be safe, he threw the entire cup away. Yeah. Poor sanitation. I am not coming back again.

Different food items

Stumbled on this place as I'm picky and didn't want shrimp as most of the food trucks had shrimp or lobster. A cute little spot they have seating outside next to the food truck and they do have the shade coverings but depending on when you go there may not be much shade. The guy taking our order was nice and great. The food lacked in flavor and we got the waffle dog which is like a corn dog but covered in waffle batter. Not bad just different and it was drizzled with cheese sauce. They do have different things to choose from and a good little variety.

Chicken Sandwich (Spicy) with fries, a lemonade and a side of street corn
Savannah Rose S.

I ordered the Chicken Sandwich (Spicy) with fries, a lemonade and a side of street corn. The corn was by far the best - the gentlemen I ordered from recommended I get the fully loaded option and he was spot on with his recommendation - so yummy! The lemonade was a miss, nothing special. The Chicken Sandwich (Spicy) with fries was very good. An average sandwich with a kick. I have never had a chicken sandwich prepared this way - it had a crunch and unique batter style to it. It was very good. The man who took my order from was so awesome and kind he made my day, I even came back to purchase a hat from their store! Would definitely go back if I ever visit the island again!

Got my fix today Cuban sandwich with loaded fries drank all my lemonade and ate all my cheese sticks..

Wow. The hype is real. Food is ono. Melt in your mouth kind of good…read more The bald guy was luckily in town for me for the event of the Halloween at Ben Parker Elementary. Boneless kalbi- $20. When I asked the guy which one he recommended the Colby or the Terri steak, the guy didn't hesitate and told me that KB. I can see why. It was very soft and well cooked, well marinated. Very melting in your mouth kind of delicious. Sweet soy Flavors. Spicy poke fried- $20, amazing spice and cream, with fully cooked ahi. Comes with two scoop of rice and side of spicy Mac mayo salad. All the wonders of spicy hippo, but fully cooked, which was very nice for me. As with any plate lunch place, I wish they had more vegetables in their plate to reflect the recommended vegetable intake, which is half of the plate, but that's for any takeout. Wouldn't mind seeing some green though. Overall, very impressed with the quality of food and wish they would come in town more often.

We had to try the hype!! But I hate to say it--we were actually pretty disappointed…read more My other half ordered the Braised Boneless Kalbi, and I ordered the Furikake Salmon. Unfortunately, the Kalbi wasn't good at all, and my salmon was burnt, overly salty, and covered in way too much sauce. I felt like the flavors were really overpowering. There was also an aftertaste that reminded me of airplane food or old cooking oil, which was not very pleasant. I really wanted to love it because of all the hype, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for us.

Had heard about Eighty Chicken Sandwiches from a couple pre-trip searches and wanted to make it one…read moreof our must-go dining stops on this trip. We drove up to get there just before noon on a Saturday. It was rainy, so the numbers were a bit light in the area, but there were still thirteen people in line when the truck opened for business. The owner was fun, friendly, and engaging the customers in conversations while prepping the food. There are times when I think some food truck owners take on the role of a short order cook and get annoyed that you don't understand "how" you're supposed to order; that was certainly NOT the case here. You just need to decide if you want a hot or regular sandwich and whether you want bleu cheese or special sauce. We got one hot and one regular, but the chicken is HUGE and two adults can easily share one sandwich. I'm torn, because while we would probably order just one sandwich next time, I also want to support the business and get two. The chicken was as good as everyone told us and had incredible crispy batter. The fries though...those were maybe the best I've ever had. I don't normally love the double cooked style fry, but could live off those and never get tired of them. FYI...we took ours to eat at the Beer Garden about 100 yards to the west and that's a winning combo.

Super huge chicken patty! Very flavorful served with fresh fries. Worth a second visit. Hot fresh…read morechicken great house made sauce.
