A guy I met at Costco recommended this place to me and I figured I’d try it out as I’ve eaten at most all of the social media famous spots on Oahu by now
All I can say is wow. The garlic ahi steak may be the most tender and juicy steak I’ve ever had in my lifetime. Genuinely no chewiness but also not so fatty that it’s formless. Flavors were on point; the pasta salad and rice sides complemented the dish well. Highly highly recommend
No dedicated parking lot I could see, limited street and residential parking. No wait but I got there at 7:45 and they were takeout only since they were about to close.

Food is so ono and the portions are huge. So many offerings and it’s quite hard to choose but the ribeye and katsudon are delicious. Definitely a must stop if you are in the area. Also the pasta salad is honestly next level, could easily down a whole bowl of it.

Stumbled upon Pioneer Saloon in Maps and from article reviews and was insistent on giving it a try. They have an extensive menu that is absolutely hard to beat at the price point. We shared 2 plates, Yakiniku Beef and the Furikake Ahi Katsu. So delicious. There is a lot to try around Waikiki but this is a definite high recommend for casual delicious.
Note that this is an order at window and sit in the venue. They have plenty of seating and the service is excellent. Don’t change anything at all… You are perfect!

By far favourite restaurant on the island! We came back 4 times during our one week vacation, and might try to go back for a fifth time tomorrow… must orders are the loco moco and the rib eye steak plate. Haven’t even left and already dreaming about these dishes!

Cute little restaurant. Not expensive compared to other restaurants. Usually other restaurants are expensive here in Honolulu.
Food is good and yum. TBH, I love how beautiful Hawaii is, so I was a bit surprised that this restaurant still uses plastic containers for takeout and even dine in. It would be great to see them switch to more sustainable packaging. That’s the only thing I was a little disappointed about.

Don’t let the name throw you, it’s not a dark dank Saloon! Which is a good thing, because their food is AMAZING. I got the rib eye bowl, which comes with a FAT cut of seasoned rib eye steak on top of rice (I got brown), macaroni pasta salad, and green salad with sesame dressing. All for like $18. Unheard of in Waikiki, this dish would be easily $60 at any restaurant on the beach, if not more. Worth every penny and the atmosphere is laid back and local. Super nice people working, I will be back!

We ordered Ribeye Steak and Korean Yakiniku Beef.
Steak was amazing but Yakiniku beef was just ok…I would order something else next time.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to get lunch or dinner around Diamondhead. Any dish is great. My favorites are the salmon, dishes, and the steak dishes. Love love love.

The first time I came to Pioneer Saloon was in 2016 and just visited a second time in 2025. A local tour guide recommended Pioneer and the food here is amazing! I got the ribeye steak bowl with multigrain rice. The steak was tender on the inside, juicy, and charred and tasty on the outside. I also ordered the ahi tuna steak cooked rare and it was fresh and delicious. I would eat here everyday on vacation if I could. The restaurant is a short 20 minute walk from Waikiki right next to Diamondhead. This is a hidden gem located in a quaint little town away from the glitz and glam of the strip. The ambience inside is also very cool with postcards and various trinkets and knick knacks for sale.
