I feel this place is a little overrated. Everything we got was pretty mid, we ordered the Hawaiian plate, katsu curry chicken, and some burgers. The Hawaiian plate was okay, the salmon side had interesting noodles and not much flavor. The katsu curry was okay, the chicken wasn’t overcooked or anything just needed more sauce and generally more flavor. Mac salad was a big mushy and mostly tasted of mayonnaise. The burgers weren’t very fresh and the sign didn’t specify that it came with fries, which were tasteless. I will say that everything was somewhat good value for the amount of food. We also got the brussel sprouts (which was the only vegetable side other than a salad). The brussel sprouts were better than the rest of the things we got. Overall I think this place is popular because everything’s edible but definitely not the best food. Its not great but not terrible either.

First time here. We ordered the Ahí Katsu, Pork Loco moco, fried chicken and French fries. A lot of food and relatively good prices for the island. I had the Loco moco which I inhaled! My husband noticed and told me I could “slow down” . You can tell them just how you like your eggs cooked. I like mine medium well. The gravy was savory and the pork just melted in your mouth along with sticky white rice. Yum! There’s seating for about 20 people inside. Seems like a local fave for take-out too. We’d definitely come back!

Mainlander here. After taking a bite of the Misoyaki Salmon and Dynamite Pole Nachos I knew a review was needed. High praise for the authenticity in menu and taste. Great meal at a good price!

We had cheeseburgers and they were really tasty! The fries were okay. We chose to sit down and eat inside instead of going the the drive through window.
Prices were reasonable considering its Hawaii. We got a sprite and two cheeseburgers that come with fries and we spent $33. The soda was 2.75.
There were a good amount of food options, not just burgers.
The service was good , no complaints at all. ❤️

Really relaxed, low key place, exactly what we needed after 11 hours in the air.
Nice people behind the counter, and patient since we were new customers. It seemed a local favorite.
Parking is shared among a couple other restaurants, etc. We went today which is a Friday and had no problem getting parking.

Def worth going to Wailua Drive-In, especially if you want a relaxed atmosphere and tasty food.

Very poor customer service. I ordered the beef luau and supposedly for “the last one” and it has like no beef in it. Usually there is- I’ve had this dish before. I took it inside immediately and they said I couldn’t exchange it for anything different. Pretty lame honestly cause we come here frequently but after this we’re not gonna come here anymore.

Also the bathroom was nasttttyyy.

The food is very flavorful. Mac salad was the clear winner of what we ordered with a delicious taste. Ahi Katsu was good; neither of us loved the Hawaiian plate, not that it was bad, just not our favorite. The service was great. Enjoyed the ease of online ordering then stopping by for a quick pick up.

Ordered online and food was ready at the window. We ordered 3 mini plates to share and it was all yummy. Our favorite was the pepper fried chicken and beef teriyaki. Good quantity and quality for the price!

Tried the Katsu Ahi Tuna, which had good flavors but some tough parts. The chili chicken was really dry, unfortunately couldn’t finish it and had to toss. Flavor was okay, wasn’t really something I’d look forward to. The ube cheesecake, however, was divine! Not too sweet and perfectly balanced. I appreciate the takeout packaging being eco-conscious.
