Sandy's Drive In — Restaurant in Hawaii

A local favorite, family owned and operated by three generations, Sandy's is a great place for classic plate lunches, diner fare, and local specialties at fair prices.

I've been eating here since childhood and this is my favorite place to get a loco moco because it's one of the few places that uses real scratch gravy, not the dark brown stuff made from a powdered mix.

The orange whip and Lilikoi drinks are bomb and hard to find anywhere else. Always order a large or you'll wish you had because they're that good.

All the plate lunches are winners. You can't go wrong whatever you choose.

The chili here is a great local-style chili which is hard to describe how it differs from Tex Mex chili. You just gotta try it especially if you're a chili fan.

The sweet potato tempura is a unique sweet treat you gotta try if you like deep fried snacks. It can be a bit greasy so pass on it if that's not your jam.

I've been going back and leaving reviews for places I've visited in the past and this place stands out above so many others. Me and my father took a trip to the islands many years ago and we still talk about this place, even though we forgot the name. Spent 30 mins looking at maps to find this to leave a review. To start off, the food was out of this world. Simple and delicious. the atmosphere was really nice as well, nothing fancy, but you felt comfortable in there while you eat. Very friendly staff from what I can recall because we went back several times the week we stayed there. Tried fried spam for the first time here as well. When me and my wife go to Hawaii I will be taking her...

We ordered Bulgogi Fries. That was really good. I would order that again. We also ordered Chicken Katsu, Veal plate, Chicken Boat (substituted the fries for rice), and Sweet Potato Tempura. I felt that the Katsu could've been better. It was slightly overcooked. The Veal was nice and tender. I didn't get a chance to taste my son's chicken so I can't comment on that, but the sweet potato tempura was really good too. Slightly oily, but that's my only complaint for that. The flavors were really good and I'd go back again to try some other things...
