Fast Food restaurants in Hawaii

  1. A

    Hawaiian Style Cafe

    Join locals at the horseshoe-shaped counter that dominates the island's best greasy spoon: filling servings of loco moco, pancakes, laulau, poi fried rice, burgers and more will keep you going all day. As the sign says: 'Come early. When food is pau…there is no more!'

    Pahala Town Cafe

    Being the only eatery, this sterile café feels the need to be it all. Soups, salads and wraps are all on the extensive menu, but it's best to stick to what it does best: plate lunches, burgers and fried things. The gigantic malasada with optional fillings are the only breakfast item.

    Royal Kitchen

    A simple takeaway shop, Royal Kitchen is famous for its baked manapua (Chinese-style buns) with a selection of fillings: char-siu (barbecued pork), chicken curry, vegetarian, sweet potato, kalua (cooked in a pit) pig and more. Mains per piece around US$1.

  4. Kona Mixed Plate

    Visitors never find this place, tucked in a shopping center behind Burger King. Burgers and saimin (local-style noodle soup) are on the lit-up menu, but the real deal here is plate lunches. Choose between a long list of meat and fish options, veggie stir-fry or tempura.

    Kalapaki Beach Hut

    Sure, it's touristy. But this archetypal beachside café faces Kalapaki Beach and features big breakfasts, from egg-and-cheese sandwiches to tasty omelets sautéed with fresh ono. The fast-food lunch menu features belly-pleasing burgers and sandwiches.

    Bubba's

    Locals hardly go here but this local chain has become the haole-tourist mecca. The 100% Kaua'i-beef burgers are fine (and vegetarians can opt for ginger-teriyaki tempeh burgers) but try the locals' fave, Duane's Ono Char Burger instead.

    Jawz Tacos

    This food truck parks in the northernmost Big Beach parking lot selling mahimahi tacos, burritos and shave ice. Other vendors selling cold coconuts, pineapples and the like can be found along Makena Alanui Dr opposite Big Beach.

    Puka Dog

    Homemade hot dogs go gourmet, with toasty buns, a choice of Polish sausage or veggie dog, mild to hot sauce and tropical fruit relish (from mango to pineapple). Wash it down with freshly squeezed lemonade.

    Big Island Grill

    Hawaiian-style home cooking draws everyone and their auntie to this beloved institution; look no farther than the plate lunches and loco mocos.
