The sauces included for dipping were all so tasty, I loved the guava and my husband loved the lilikoi. The rice was so delicious and not overly salty like a lot of others I've had. Generous amounts of meat were in the rice, no skimping there. They do offer pick up! Just in case you have little kiddos like I do! My husband sat in the car and I was able to enjoy a much needed Bloody Mary while they prepared our order. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! No lines, no reservations needed, the only wait was while they prepared our food fresh to order. 10/10 will be suggesting to everyone and will definitely be returning for breakfast and a Bloody Mary again!

You're overlooking the water and swans, and when the weather is nice, I imagine it is SUPER nice. It was drizzling when I was there, but it still felt good to be outside since it wasn't raining too hard. They have TVs and a pool table, and I saw some SERIOUS pool players when I was there, so that was a vibe too. The food is really good. The wings?? High, high, hiiiiigh. I don't know if chicken is imported to the island or what, but the price is CRAZY high.... I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was actually really good, BUT that wrap was so small. Of course they cut it in half, but each half was tiny. There's no way that was even a full 6-inch wrap before they cut it. Still stuffed and flavorful, just disappointing on the portion size. The French fries though? Really really good. I had them with my wrap and I enjoyed them a lot. Didn't get a pickle though, and I didn't even realize it was supposed to come with one until I came back the next day... I wish I had gotten that. The bartender was nice--it was a guy. Not super friendly, but cool enough. Now the bathroom... ATROCIOUS. I hated it. Didn't even want to touch anything. Yikes. But other than that, I do like the place!

I have been struggling with finding decent coffee shops on Oahu with lots of space to study and hangout and this one checked all the boxes. Unfortunately, parking can be limited. I read on Yelp to park in the back on Ohai St. or you can parallel park on the street (which is kinda scary since this a busy road!). I got lucky on a Thursday morning. Workers are friendly. I was able to order a caramel macchiato and it was delicious. I however didn't realize they had their Fall menu and I kinda wish I saw it sooner so I could try a drink from there instead. I also ordered a Bacon Burrito (which I learned was from Tequeria El Ranchero next door) so I was excited to try it. However, I would not order this again. The spinach was tough and made my entire burrito hard to eat. Honestly I love this space. Great for studying, hanging out with friends, and getting work done. Certain tables have outlets nearby too. I'm looking forward to coming here again someday!

The Shack Mililani: Still Serving Up One of My Favorite Burgers!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): The Shack has been a favorite of mine for years, and I was happy to discover that the Mililani location is still going strong! My Shack Cheeseburger was every bit as good as I remembered, and the onion rings were fantastic. Unfortunately, my wife's Philly Cheesesteak was a greasy disappointment. Still, I'd absolutely return for that burger! The Details: Years ago, when I lived in Kailua, I used to walk over to The Shack fairly often to grab a good burger and a couple of cold beers. It was one of those neighborhood hangouts I really enjoyed, so I was disappointed to learn that the Kailua location had closed, along with the other Oahu locations. Thankfully, The Shack in Mililani is still around! The place has that familiar, laid-back island sports bar atmosphere. Lots of wood, a little tiki influence, TVs showing sports, and a casual, open-air setting. There's a small bar inside, but we chose to sit along the exterior where we could enjoy the island breeze. Much more my style! Service was friendly and they stopped by often to refill drinks and check to see if we needed anything. Naturally, I ordered my longtime favorite, the Shack Cheeseburger ($13.99). If you've never had one, imagine a big, juicy cheeseburger with all the fixings, topped with a split Portuguese sausage! Yes, a cheeseburger AND Portuguese sausage together! It might sound a little unusual, but trust me, it works! The smoky, slightly spicy sausage adds something special to an already delicious burger. I absolutely loved it, just as I remembered! We also shared an order of onion rings ($9.95), which were fantastic! Beautifully golden, crispy, and exactly what I want when ordering onion rings. I'd happily order those again, too. Unfortunately, my wife's Philly Cheesesteak ($13.99) was another story. Reading the menu description, it sounded wonderful. Grilled ribeye, sautéed mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and melted cheese on a French roll. What's not to like? Well, unfortunately, the grease...!The meat and vegetables were so oily that she could barely eat her sandwich, and what little she did eat ended up upsetting her stomach. That's a real shame because it certainly looked promising when it arrived. So, we had two very different dining experiences at the same table. I thoroughly enjoyed my burger and onion rings, while my wife was understandably disappointed with her meal. Final Thoughts: Despite the disappointing Philly Cheesesteak, I'm giving The Shack four stars because my meal was excellent, and I still love the relaxed atmosphere. Would I come back? Absolutely! In fact, I'd make a special trip to Mililani just to enjoy another Shack Cheeseburger! If you're in Mililani Town and craving a good burger, give The Shack a try. And if you're feeling adventurous, get the one with the Portuguese sausage! Some things are just too good to forget, even after all these years! Aloha!

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience…read more Service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being very busy. We were never offered refills, and there were long periods when we didn't see our server. The food was okay overall; the jumbo buffalo wings were probably the highlight. The atmosphere initially seemed nice, but there was a strong unpleasant smell in certain areas that smelled like something rotten. More concerning, while sitting at our table, I personally saw what appeared to be mice repeatedly popping their heads out from an opening in the floor near the wooden post next to us. I took photos of the area immediately afterward and have included them with this review. Between the smell and seeing that while eating, it raised serious cleanliness concerns for me. What also bothered me was the way the credit-card charge and suggested gratuity were presented. The restaurant clearly discloses a 3.99% processing fee for credit-card transactions, so the surcharge itself wasn't a surprise. My issue is what happens afterward. As my receipt shows, our food subtotal was $59.95. After $3.00 in tax, the bill was $62.95, and a 3.99% credit-card processing fee was then added. The credit-card receipt shows a base amount of $65.47. It then suggests tips of $9.82 (15%), $11.78 (18%), $13.09 (20%), and $16.36 (25%). Those percentages are calculated from the entire $65.47 credit-card charge--meaning the suggested gratuity includes both the tax and the credit-card processing fee. What's especially strange is that the restaurant's itemized receipt calculates its suggested tips from the original $59.95 food subtotal, while the credit-card receipt calculates them from the higher $65.47 amount. I've included a photo of both receipts so customers can see the difference for themselves. I understand businesses may choose to pass credit-card processing costs on to customers when they're properly disclosed. However, I don't think customers should then be prompted to tip on the processing fee itself. A gratuity should be based on the food and service--not a fee charged for the method of payment. Overall, the slow service, no refills, unpleasant smell, seeing what appeared to be mice coming out from the floor near our table, and the way the credit-card tip suggestions are calculated made this a disappointing experience. I would not return.
