Great service, yummy frosty, no charge for a cup of water. And it's a good sized compostable cup and you can get ice with that at the self serve station! Quiet, clean, and that includes the restroom! Which, props to Wendy's-includes your choice of the use of the air dryer, or paper towels. Which is important if you're using your hands to open the door to exit. Thank you for the great service!!! We'll be back!

Sloppy Cold Burger
S J.

Major Improvements Needed At This Location! Using Uber Eats pickup app we spent $56.00 at this Wendy's. I received a message from Wendy''s via Uber Eats that our food was ready. When I went inside I was immediately given someone else's order by the male staff member. I left with the order but returned straight away. My Mistake, I did not Check my order before leaving the store. The male staff member that gave me the order and two "Managers" were Rude when I attempted to explain my order and resolve the mixup. The male staff member kept talking over me and he would not listen as I attempted to explain that he had given me the wrong order. One of the managers finally agreed that I was given someone else's order and my order was not ready and still being prepared. The food was Cold and Sloppily prepared after the Manager stated earlier that our food was being freshly prepared. No Apologies were given for their mistake, the Cold food or my inconvenience.

Nice Drive thru

First time to this Wendy's as coming this way only because Doctors appointment is in Kailua Town.Wendy's is a nice clean newer building, spacious inside, but on this Wednesday at around 12noon, first impression lacked clean tables& the men's restroom was dirty. No attendant on duty when busy? When ordering the manager was like when you don't want to be there, not a person you would want taking orders !Ordered a large chili with onions & chili( additional $.90) and a double Wendy's Cheeseburger Combo.The bun was hard & the lettuce was a piece that should have been cut or trim, so sloppy ! The fries were from the bottom of the batch, pieces! Not at all like the Wendy's in the mainland USA. Will not return to this store anytime soon.

Wonderful staffers at Wendy's Kailua! Went today at about 1:20 pm today 3.4.2025 for mobile order pickup. Props to the young man at the fry cook station who noticed twice that I needed something - so attentive and polite, traits that I admire, especially in our young people. It's obvious he was raised with good manners. Can't say enough good thing about this young man. It gave me alot of positive vibes! The chicken sandwich (mahalo T- Mobile Tuesday) was tasty and oh so satisfying! Sorry no photo, as I just dug in before I realized I forgot to snap photo, shucks. Love the self-serve soft drink machine where you can create your own soft drink mocktail. It was nice and quiet (only one other couple) when we arrived. This changed when a few students arrived after school let out; girls on cellphone running (like their life depended on it) out to the side exit door. Shortly after, the din increased as the dining room was filled to the brim with students. Have nothing against students (who represent our future), except for two bullies who felt like cutting off a fellow customer at the soft drink dispenser (read further). I got up to refill my drink and left appropriate space for the hunky, athletically-built male student (Student #1) to finish. Noticed he kept looking around, smirking. I would soon find out why. Before I could get to the soft drink dispenser after Student #1 finished filling his fruit punch drink, two other male students (Students #2 & #3) rushed there before me. Hunky Student #1 hovered nearby to encourage rude behavior. Student #2 did not yield, filling his drink. Student #3 noticed this poor behavior and politely offered to let me go before him; I thanked him. I was no more than a foot away when big body Student #1 (who hovered nearby) quickly stepped back in to block my short path to the dispenser. Judging by his obvious smirks, he knew what he was doing. I took a step back hoping this might satisfy these immature male egos (apparently not so for these misogynists). It seemed this was a game to them. I didn't feel like opening my mouth and inciting violence today (or any day for that matter). These two seemed like they would retaliate: follow you to your car or throw something at you. Thankfully, Student #3 again politely offered to let me fill my drink. I thanked him again; he knows how those two thugs are and chooses not to imitate their poor behavior - truly commendable. Hopefully, in time the two bullies will learn some manners and change (crossing my fingers). Sorry to have been so long-winded about this. I choose not to judge Wendy's Kailua for the inappropriate actions of the two male bullies, who apparently believe they need to use their testoterone for attention or to get their jollies. If possible, I may try to avoid Wendy's after school lets out. Until the encounter with head thug #1 and his disciple #2, it was an awesome visit. Just wanted Wendy's management to be aware of the situation (perhaps have staff patrol dining room and soda area) and especially to acknowledge the exemplary customer service of the staffer on the fry cook station. In the words of my Yelp pal Donna O. would say, mahalo for reading my review.

Pineapple Under the sea Frosty, Cinnabon Pull-Apart
Irene M.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea... Wendy's!! The collaboration with SpongeBob putting together the Krabby Patty Meal is interesting but after a hearty meal a bit of sweet on this Halloween day sounded exactly like the perfect treat. Located right before Mari's Gardens Kailua you can't miss the bright and modern build with lots of free parking and drive thru but walking in I was impressed with the amount of seating the have and how clean and spacious the inside was. I had to give the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty a try along with the Cinnabon Pull apart buns which was nice but could've been warmed up better as it was room temp and the frosty was okay not really much a pineapple flavor a bit sweet for my personal taste but in a basic brown cup was mostly disappointing. I read Angel's review and agree with most of it as the draw to give the collaboration a try was disappointing though my experience here was a delight regardless of the staff first day was so nervous did a fantastic job. A great place to cool and relax in the cool air conditioned dining area whether you're heading in or out of Kailua Wendy's is a surprising nice place to do so. Thank you!

This is one of the nicer Wendy's that Ive been to. It looks more modern and sleek to some of the other ones. I dined here last night and it wasn't that busy, one other family there. I went to use the bathroom and there was toilet paper all over the place. The toilet seat cover box was empty. It seems like they haven't checked the bathrooms in a while. Other than that everything was great. I got the #1 Dave's Single Combo. It comes with a burger, medium fries and drink. I opted for the chocolate frosty. They have a seasonal flavor right now, pumpkin spice frosty. I didn't try it. The combo was good. I like their burger, fries and frosty. The food came out fast and I did see a worker wiping down the tables.

This location has a very different layout compared to the kapolei location and both being good…read more I Have always drove past the Kailua one this one is a lot smaller and has a more casual island vibe. The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

I've been here several times now, and it's consistently been a solid 4 out of 5 stars…read more If you're expecting full table service or "princess treatment," this probably isn't the place for you. Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Ever since one of my coworkers posted her spread from this spot like a whole year ago, I've been…read morewanting to check this spot out. My partner and I made the drive from town to Kailua just to check this spot out. They have parking in the back but it is shared with the other estblishements and residents in the building, just read the labels of the spots to ensure you can park there! We were seated fairly quickly and was given utensils, waters, and the menu. Our seat was outside, on a small table. It was a bit sticky but the waitress was nice enough to wipe it down for us. We ordered: * Brisket Poutine: 7.2/10 This was solid. It is a pretty substantial starter. There weren't that much brisket within but pieces and a few chunks sprinkled in. My main complaint would be the fries. They were not that crunchy, so along with the gravy, it was very quickly turned into mush. I also feel like there should be more cheese, especially with the amount of gravy. * Brisket Burnt Ends: 8.1/10 This was pretty good. It is just a very small amount of meat. * Sticky Ribs 1/2 Rack: 8/10 this was pretty solid. My partner liked it quite a lot. I wish that it was a bit more tender but the flavor was on point. I really enjoyed the charred bits. It's sweet and nicely spiced * 2 Meat Plate: o Pork Belly: 8.4/10 I liked this quite a lot. Like more than I even expected. The fattiness of the pork belly contrasted nicely with the charred flavor and satisfied my craving for grilled meats. o Brisket: 7.8/10 I liked this too, the fat contrasted well with the leaner part of the brisket. it was flavorful. * SIDES: o Mac & Cheese: I liked this a lot, it was a bit overcooked and the cheese started to separate slowly but it was still delicious (you can already see the separation in the pictures). I wish they included more parts of the cooked golden cheese parts. o Baked Beans: This was okay, if you like sweet baked beans you may really enjoy this. This is my first time having baked beans so I found out quickly it isn't exactly my forte. o Corn: This was really good, I liked this side almost as much as the mac n cheese. It is nicely spiced, creamy, and cheesy. My partner said it reminded him of a cheesier esquites. o Tater Tots: Solid tater tots o Grilled Corn Bread: Really good, and came with honey butter which paired nicely. They also have 3 types of sauces at each table: * Kailua Green, Crack Seed, and Classic Over Easy I didn't care for the crack seed one, it was too fruity and a bit odd for me. I liked the Kailua green and the classic one as well. I sometimes mixed the two as well. I'd say everything was pretty solid, my main note is just the portion sizes. I feel like other than the ribs, all of the other meats had a very small serving (like the two meats plate, we got two cuts of the pork belly and two of the brisket). Since we ordered a lot we definitely got full (and had some to take home), but if you only ordered a BBQ plate, it might not be enough food for you. I would possibly come back again, but only if I happened to be nearby, I wouldn't say it's particularly worth the drive from town.

Had a hunger for some BBQ so we walked in, and was immediately sat - no wait, but it was busy. No…read moreloud. The waiter was energetic about the food and menu, and we took some and ran with it. I ordered the brisket burger and beans, and it was huge. It was delicious and messy, the beans were surprisingly good (I'm Midwestern and know my beans). Decent price point for a BBQ restaurant. My dining partner got the special which was a birria sandwich and I totally forgot what it was called or what was involved but he loveeed it. Says it should be a permanent staple on the menu. Great time with some yummy food. Totally worth it

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
