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 and perfect Good selection of other different plate lunches as well with pictures. If you haven’t been, we recommend this humble spot in Wahiawa.

Food was awesome today. Fries were perfect. Whoever was working in the back cooking during 5-6:00 shift make sure you keep them. Great job

Huge variety of local style choices. Has everything, Korean style food, Chinese style, Hawaiian food. Quality on par with places like L&L Drive Inn or LocoMoco. Not sure if it’s a requirement for Drive Inns to be grimy and unkept inside, but this place is no exception. Got burger and fries, neither disappointed. I’d go back if in the area, but wouldn’t make a special trip. Good enough for Wahiawa quick bite, better than going to McDonald’s.

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.

We decided to try this place for the first time. The place had only 2 other customers. We ordered hamburger steak with chicken Katsu and a cheeseburger deluxe combo. Price is reasonable. However, the food didn’t taste fresh. The hamburger steak was cooked perfect and the gravy was delicious but the meat hamburger had that taste when blood absorbs and it stays longer in the freezer/fridge for to long. The chicken katsu was crispy but the chicken didn’t taste fresh either. Mac salad and rice was good. The cheeseburger was ok but the meat tasted the same as the hamburger steak. The French fries was great! The employee seemed ok. Didn’t really smile but at least she said thank you. Restaurant a little sticky but tables and floor seemed clean enough. I think I’m going to give it another try with more people to get feedback and try something different. Always good to go back and give places a 2nd chance.

If you like salty food then this place is for you. I ordered the Teriyaki beef and garlic shrimp fried rice, both were super salty. We felt like we wasted $50 and ended up getting burgers from Teddy’s Bigger Burger because we didn’t even finish our food. This is not a place I recommend to my fellow foodies out there. Even the service can be worked on. The lady was fine but she forgot my husband’s request to get all rice instead of rice and Mac & cheese. Our experience was not great.

My son will always get their loco moco. He loves it (btw he’s 30). They have specials and if you’re lucky you can get a turkey plate. Omg so good! Stuffing and all. Try it!

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.
