Chunky Paniolo — Restaurant in Hawaii

Disappointment is an understatement.

Service is awful from the Hispanic girl working the register and orders. She was rude to customers, had attitude that everyone was bothering her. One gentleman asked if the order sitting next to her, for 10 minutes, was his. She told him to wait until she’s ready to give it to him. The man apologized to HER. The lady was argumentative with customers and unwilling to work with you if you messed up the order.

We witnessed several incidents of her rudeness and asked to cancel our order because we don’t support rude businesses. She claimed she couldn’t do refunds.

The food was not good. The Prime Rib was dry and given the end piece. 20.00 was wasted. The barbecue pork sandwich was soggy. Macaroni salad didn’t have much flavor.

After talking to another business in the food truck area, they don’t get much business unless the Thai restaurant is closed and all other food trucks too busy.

We were excited to eat there, but...

I’m sorry, but don’t waste your money. 1/2 chicken was ok, nice flavor but dry, my hubby got the prime rib sandwich, it was like biting into rubber, he had to throw out the bread as the meat ratio to bread was bad. I asked for soy sauce for the white rice, it was too dry. No soy sauce said they had none. So I choked it down with a soda, and the veggie's, Oh my word. It’s canned beans with corn. Rubbery and mush. Don’t bother! We really like supporting local business as opposed to hotel restaurants. But for $20+ per meal you’ve got to do better. Save your money. I felt as though they know it’s a tourist attraction so why even bother to try as it’s a new day tomorrow, and take advantage of the customer. The guy taking our order just acted uninterested, not friendly or welcoming, my hubby wanted to try the pulled pork sandwich and he said they’d sold out, not recommending anything else. Now I know why....

We ordered the prime rib sandwich and a side of potato mac salad. The sandwich comes with seasoned fries and a lot of them! The side of potato mac salad was also much larger than expected and this meal could easily be shared. We wish we knew that before ordering 2 of everything. We did split the sandwich, fries, and potato Mac salad and the other meal will be shared tomorrow for lunch.

Now that the quantity is out of the way, let’s talk about the food!

The prime rib sandwich was delicious with a generous portion of meat, cheese, and sautéed onions with au jus on the bread. As mentioned, the fries are seasoned. The potato macaroni salad was good and I enjoyed it—but I’m no local and have only had it on Oahu twice.

Atmosphere—I’m giving 3 stars but it’s for the food truck park in general. The tables are dirty, so if you eat here you may want to have some...
