rainbow drive-in

prices across the menu board were very reasonable. mixed plates (barbecue, fried chicken, pork cutlets, hamburg steak, sausages, etc.)

honest grinds at an honest price. this is the best plate lunch i've had on the island. period.

i was completely satisfied after this filling breakfast and was honestly not hungry again until about five o’clock that night. it’s the perfect place to eat if you need fuel for a long day,

opened back in 1961, rainbow drive-in has long been serving various plate lunches in honolulu. they pride themselves on serving generous portions of hearty simple food at reasonable prices and counting on sales volume.

never fear loyal lunch on hawthorne readers, we haven't given up on our mission. no, jared and i just went on vacation! being the dedicated blogger i am, i obviously took photos of every meal i ate, and am taking this opportunity to post a some-what unrel

pressed on time and want good food fast? try this place! the food comes out fast! lightning fast. before i could finish saying shoyu chicken, the lady started boxing up my food! not to mention, their prices don't go up too often so you can save money for other things!

if you stay waikiki make the very short drive up kapahulu. great food at great prices

must try!!. we always stop by here a couple of times whenever on vacation. we found it by accident. saw all the locals lined up so figured it was the place to be. if you have been to l&ls, this place is much better. ordered the portugese sausage plate. very large portions served by friendly people.

i like the classic hawaiian drive in food and this is the best i've found near waikiki. gets busy at lunch time but service is fast and friendly. got the chili plate but will get the mix plate next time!

my favorite is the chili plate with side boneless chicken on top

stay away from the hash. i've heard nothing but good things about this place so it was with great joy that i decided to give them a try. it was breakfast time, so i got the egg/hashbrown/rice plate.

service was quick and an understanding of english by the staff seemed strained - but friendly.

it was basically sticky/dry white rice, some strange egg square that was supposed to be scrambled eggs, and omg the hash was awful. (btw, my friend who i gave the food to thought it was "good"). i think it was $6.

i have never tried corned beef hash from a can (only "homestyle" - real meat, real potatoes, etc.) and i probably will never again. i like my eggs hot, made with cream/milk/butter, fluffy etc. i like my rice non sticky and full of flavor (prefer spanish rice, my version of course) and i like my corned beef hash homestyle (real meat, fresh potates, etc.).

i'll probably go back but only if someone else really wants to go and they're going to buy my lunch/dinner.

love it!. favored by locals & tourists alike. been around for years! inexpensive and so yummy!
