Enjoyed my time while reviewing the menu, waiting and eating my food. Good vibes, all
The best oldies on videos. The staff are so welcoming, and made me feel like family. I had the tenders and fries, perfectly fried and seasoned. Will be back at least once before I leave Waikiki!

It's a 1950's style diner. You go here for the 1950's atmosphere. The walls are covered with memorabilia.

The food is the normal fare that you would find at any greasy spoon throughout the mainland. Honestly, it is comforting to have a place like this around. It reminds me of dinners out in the 70's. Yea, mastalgia's kicking in.

The service is pleasant but not great. Because they are shorthanded, like every place else. You walk up to a counter to order and the food takes forever.

I went here specifically to play the pinball machine but it was broken.

No photos I don't want to spoil the experience.

Did anyone mention that it's the cleanest eatery in town? And they have a $4 happy hour beer?

Amazing! Super friendly and welcoming, we loved the entire cafe and wish we had found it our first day and not our last day on the island.

We stopped by for dinner after a long walk around the city.

The atmosphere is really cool. It’s done up in Elvis and the late 60s.

The service was great and the onion were amazing. If you’re expecting fine dining this is not the place, but the atmosphere makes up for diner food.

If you’re in Elvis and 60s you can pick some signed collectables.

Give this place a try if you’re in the area.

The decoration is incredible. The atmosphere takes you back to the 50s, it doesn't feel forced. The attention of the owners is very good, they are very kind and friendly. The food is ok, for the price one would expect better quality and flavor. It is worth taking a look, but knowing that its forte is not the dishes.

Honestly, we went 4 times in two days. Wish we found this place sooner, the staff are great, like so attentive and genuine, loved the engagement and laughs, prices reasonably as well. Felt like other places we went just... Weren't the same, felt like no one wanted to be in their jobs but ROCK ISLAND cafe where great. Looking forward to my next holiday to waikiki to see them again
