Recent visitors praise the cute Hawaiian atmosphere and the variety of tasty food. One couple called it their favorite restaurant after trying the coconut shrimp, sprinkled with coconut, and the Volcan burger, which was cooked rare as requested. The large onion rings were enough to feed a family of four and were enjoyed at a good price. The shrimp appetizer was also a hit. However, some found the Pepsi to be too sweet and not refreshing. Others wanted to try the grilled BBQ chicken plate but learned it was no longer on the menu, opting instead for a loco moco. The loco moco was satisfying, with mashed ground beef in the gravy and rice scoops, though the size of the rice servings was smaller than usual. Overall, the food was tasty, and the macaroni salad with chopped boiled eggs was a nice touch. Many visitors plan to return, appreciating the convenient location after activities like bike rides.
