Great food. Didn't see this the first time on the big island. Wished that we did. Staff was awesome. Didn't mind that we stayed for about two hrs- heavy rains and our flight was delayed.
The restaurant has the old American diner vibe, with a wall full of celebrity photos (including the Rock, Bruce Lee). Parking can be challenging. Large portion sizes. "Sumo" orders get a bang in the gong, located behind a large Sumo wrestler statue, with the staff hollering out SUMO! Wait staff very accommodating and friendly.
I've only been once, so I will give it another shot. For now, 3 stars. Went on a weekday, was not really busy. Waitress took awhile to take my order. I was in no rush, but it would be frustrating sitting with a hungry bear. I was solo this occasion. I got corned beef hash Benedict. This was pretty good. I also had pancakes, they were not good. Flat and rubbery. Maybe Ken has added so many other things on the menu the pancake isn't the star anymore. Hence 3 stars. I am willing to go again and maybe try something different.
This place is classic! It's not anything fancy, but it's worth a visit for brekky (at any time of day). They have everything! The veggie omlette was awesome and the pancakes were fluffy. The staff was friendly and service quick. The decor is straight out of the 70s.
This is a super cute diner. I appreciate that it's 24 hours would be nice if they served alcohol. The food was great and the eggs Benedict was perfect. I did come back and try the oxtail soup and was not into it. Service in the morning was very busy yet prompt and almost disorganized. The service at night was decent and not as good as the day. If that makes sense.
