Pretty disappointed. The service was terrible. The guy that took our order had no personality. Not even a smile on his face.The food was great however the portions did not match the price.My family will not be going back.

We’ve been taking out from Islander Drive Inn for many years. Its not a fancy place, just a simple, hometown spot, but i gave them 5 stars for 5 reasons.#1 Consistency - What i ate many years ago tastes the same every time we went including today. Im not left scratching my head figuring they changed cooks again. If they did, I didn’t notice. What makes me so sure? I eat the SAME THING every time.#2 Accuracy- They have never messed up my order. Nothing different, nothing missing, I get what I ordered. Utensils too.#3 Hot Food- I paid higher prices at places 5 minutes away from my house that left me feeling cold. Literally. Not here though.#3 Communication- They answer the phone quickly, I understand what they are saying and they understand me. Pleasant.#4 Convenience- Fast Service. Good location. Good parking. I always need medication picked up at Longs so picking up a meal at the same time makes it easy.#5 Local Business- Always support local.My personal favorite is always the Honey Garlic Chicken plate with all white rice. Nice,Sweet Honey sauce with perfect amount of garlic, not overpowering and Crispy juicy Chicken. Very flavorful. Good portions. My husband enjoys the homemade hamburger steak with onions and requested gravy all over everything. Fries are crinkle cut. They are decent. Good selection of other different plate lunches as well with pictures. If you haven’t been, we recommend this humble spot in Wahiawa.

Stopped in for a quick bite for my kids. They enjoyed the BBQ burgers and fries. Not bad, the service was quick and the cashier was pleasant.

My first time ever there AND I LOVE their Honey Garlic Chicken Plate! First of many visits to come!

FYI - they turn off the fryer every Thursday at 5:55pm. The dude who should tie back his hair since he's working in food service said they do this in order to change the oil every week. Ok.

The food is good here great variety but their always closed so early. I wish they'd at least stay open until after 9 maybe.

Great experience. Friendly order taker was rather busy (but nothing she couldn't handle...her words). We ordered loco Moco which had hand-packed hamburger patties and a very good gravy. The garlic chicken was very tasty and I had the chicken katsu and teriyaki broccoli chicken, two-item plate, which was also good. Credit card surcharge had our meal just under $50. We ate outside...the green flies are very fat. This restaurant is recommended.

So I have to wear a mask to buy food BUT the cook doesn't?! WTF!!! So ur breathing all your Covid breath on the food & that's ok?! Yeah I'm not going back. Someone needs to tell the cook with the fake red hair to put a mask on.

My family and I have been supporting this business for more than 10yrs now and it is our go to quick dinner meals on busy hectic days. My husband really enjoys their Lau lau plates but timing is key because they do run out. The regular plate comes with 2 very juicy and delicious lau lau with rice and mac salad or you can always try a mini or combo plate also. I like their chicken cutlet plate with brown gravy all over and I always get a regular so that I can have leftovers the next morning for breakfast. They also have mushroom chicken with broccoli that my daughter likes. Friendly staff and food is always hot and made to order. We have also done some catering with them for special occasions and their prices are reasonable for the amount of food that is given. We will to continue to support this business as long as they remain open. Definitely a regular here. Sorry no pics were taken at the time of this review.
