A local favorite since it opened in 1939, this legendary breakfast-to-dinner spot serves meals, has a cocktail lounge, holds banquets, and has regular events such as Ladies Nights @ Dots, Friday Night Live! and Tuesday Night Food Trucks in the car park. The food is a Hawaiian and Japanese mix, with kids' and seniors' menus, and there's a community-minded vibe.
