Ordered the kalua pork and teriyaki chicken plates. The portions are huge! The kalua pork was well salted and moist. Rice was cooked nicely too. I liked the spicy bbq sauce that it came with. Not a fan of their mac salad though- it tasted funny. The teriyaki chicken thighs were nicely charred. Definitely could have fed 3 adults off of two plates! As expected, the pineapple slice on the plate was delicious. Wouldn't mind eating here again for plate lunches.

Time: Friday Lunch Meals: Pineapple Dole Whip and Pineapple Chili Dog w/fries Pros: -Decent portions. Good sized hot dog. -Fast Service. -Not your typical tourist trap generic style food. Actually decent quality food. -Chili was good flavor. Think of Wendy's style chili, but better quality. -Good prices given it's a tourist trap. Was not an overcooked hot dog. -Crispy fries. Not soggy. Cons: -Chili dog was topped with pineapple chunks as opposed to cooked inside. Slight false advertising.

Pretty much a tourist trap. Go once, get some Dole Whip with fresh crushed pineapple topping, and get out.

I decided to try the popular Pineapple ice cream at Plantation Grille but it didn't quite live up to expectations. While the fresh pineapple tasted reminiscent of those from a Dole NY supermarket, it had an unpleasant aftertaste. The soft-serve ice cream itself had a decent pineapple flavor but wasn't remarkable. The ambiance was busy. As for the entree options, the Kalua Pork Quesadilla caught my attention, particularly because they use spinach tortillas, though I haven't had the chance to try it personally.

Very standard, expected cafeteria food. My wife and I split a BBQ kalua quesadilla that sounded better than it tasted. Around $18 but it was enough for the 2 of us. Of course had to get the Dole whip. Unfortunately we realized pineapple soft serve is not quite what we hoped it would be. The sour taste prevented us from finishing it easily. Almost like a biological thing. It looked good though. We got the Dole whip with toppings which I recommend since the toppings are fresh tasting pineapple pieces. The float was interesting. It's pineapple soft serve with pineapple juice. It was easier to drink than to eat. Tried adding some soda from our quesadilla order and it didn't really make it better haha. $20 for both Dole whip orders. Ouch. But you are at Dole...

Unfortunately they have ZERO plant-based options. The planet needs us to be more responsible than that.

Long lines, but at least 3 ordering stations were open, so the wait wasn't too bad. And our food was ready for pickup pretty quickly. The portions were larger than I expected. I got full before I could finish, but everything was very good. I ordered the teriyaki chicken combo sandwich with pineapple whip in a cup. The sandwich came with a side of fries that were really good.

the maze is entertaining and the pineapple soft serve was sweet, simple, and delicious
I stopped by the Dole Plantation as part of a tour and had 30 minutes to explore the merchandising store, which was filled with great goodies and also attentive staff who welcomed us. There was a waffle cone special. Buy 2 get 50% off the three, so I got that at $8.50 per. The ice cream was delicious and quickly melting. The pineapple stick in the middle of the cone and the waffle cone were great pairings to a sweet and crunchy snack. Sadly I didn't get to explore any of the tours, but definitely will next time and stay longer. I'd recommend checking this spot out if anyone likes Dole or pineapples!

Unless you have kids , not worth the drive. Food was ok. Souvenirs are priced high. Long waits for tickets and the train. If you come after 12, wait is about an hour. Also maze closes on rainy days.

QUICKIE REVIEW Have to try something pineapple here. Anything else is a waste of time. FOOD This is what I tried: Ice cream Pineapple It was hot out, decided to swing by and give it a try. It's hard to explain how perfectly balance their pineapples are. Seriously, sweet and tangy. I understand that's what a pineapple should be but I can honestly say, there's just hit different. Eat outside and enjoy the moment. PARKING Yes. SERVICE Order at counter, pick up at counter. PRICE Less than $20 for two.

Huge serving of fries! Train ride was completely lame. Fields are furrowed. Dole whip is fantastic! Choose carefully what you do.
