Keneke’s Grill

Windward Coast


Right on the road, Keneke’s comes complete with Christian sayings and word games on the wall. Hawaiian plate lunches, such as loco moco (rice, fried egg and a hamburger patty topped with gravy) and teriyaki steak, plus burgers and daily specials, fill the menu. Don’t miss having shave ice or Dave’s ice cream for dessert. Great outdoor seating with mountain views.

There's plenty of parking out front.
