Small casual hometown restaurant with excellent hawaiian plates and my favorite poke bowl, 2 scoops Wasabi Furikake Salmon with crab salad, kalua pork, and cucumber kimchi! Great people, great atmosphere and among the best food options on the island! Always worth a stop at Jackies!
Nice little strip mall diner. Found this place after another local spot down the street didn't work out. I'm SO glad that we found it. It was meant to be. Kind, quick service, and excellent food. Tried a variety of items, all of which were good. The only item that fell a little short for us was the mac salad, but that's only because we felt it was heavy on the mayo, but that's also subjective. If we're back in the area, we would definitely return. Recommend to any visitors looking to try some local favs and traditional HI foods. The staff was very sweet and took the time to answer our food questions.
If you're looking for ono (delicious) Hawaiian and local food, then Jackie's is the spot! My go to dish is the Pastele Plate ($19), fruit punch, and a side of Haupia for dessert. I dream of the pastele plate- it comes with either hot or mild pastele, bacalao salad, macaroni salad, and rice. It's the most amazing thing you'll ever eat! The restaurant itself is a local, rustic diner, with wonderful local hospitality! Happy Eats ✌️

Ordered takeout after walking up and down the area. We couldn’t decide on what to get so we got a bunch of food. All of it was delicious.The poke bowls were our favorite. Everything in it went so well together and the portion sizes were perfect per person!The kalbi was tender and tasty. The Mac salad was made with spaghetti noodles. That was a first for me. I liked it a lot. It’s a bit pricy but the portion sizes and flavor made it worth it. They taped everything down for our drive home. Wish we were closer, I could go for another one of their poke bowls!

Found this place after my wife searched for feel good atmosphere and food, definitely a hidden gem and am jealous for the residents around that can eat here whenever they want, it’s a good spot to get a home like meal or from those that have departed this world that used to make food like this.

Hawaiian and Puerto rican food joint located in the Waimalu Shopping Center. Havent dined in but always take out for lunch since the work crew likes this place. Great since they open early and always friendly on the phone. Hawaiian laulau with beef stew and the patele with gandule rice and bacalao salad are my go to orders.
My go-to when I need a pastele fix or to get ono Hawaiian food. They now have a Poke bowl counter as well. Friendly service and plenty of parking.

Just got 2 pastele plates this week. Price increased almost $2 per plate. I can understand that but the pasteles were dry and had few olives. I also got a side order pastele which was also dry. Don’t know if they got a different pastele vendor or recipe changed? Great service though.Shucks, I guess I need to go elsewhere to get my pasteles.
Best local food in the town
