My wife & I are making our 1st visit to Imperial Beach. This is by far our favorite restaurant. My wife got the coconut shrimp. I got the Volcan burger. Both were great. I ordered my burger rare. To my surprise, I got it rare. Ordered large onion rings. Should have ordered small. The large was enough to feed a family of 4. They were great though & only $9. We will be back & highly recommend. Cute Hawaiian atmosphere.

We had the shrimp appetizer was delicious sprinkled with coconut. My husband had a bacon swish mushroom burger, and I had the mocha Loco Hawaiian breakfast something like that but don’t drink the Pepsi. It is horrible. It’s too sweet. Doesn’t have enough water. It was awful. Stay away from the Pepsi.

I wanted a grilled bbq chicken plate as I usually see in Hawaiian restaurants, but the server said they removed it from their menus (sad). Instead I ordered a loco moco. I'm used to eating loco mocks with a full out beef patty, but seems they mashed the ground beef and mixed into the gravy. So did I get a full beef patty? Couldn't be sure. Rice scoops seem to be ¼ cup size, so 3 scoops not necessarily the usual 1 cup of rice. Nevertheless, everything was tasty and satisfying....
