About
A Surf-Inspired Morning Ritual
Steps away from the golden sands of Waikiki, Goofy Cafe & Dine captures the relaxed, salt-crusted spirit of Oahu’s surf culture. The space feels like a reclaimed beach shack, featuring weathered wood panels and open-air windows that let in the humid, floral-scented breeze of Honolulu. It is the kind of place where you’ll find locals and visitors alike refueling before a swell, often while shuffling slightly to avoid a wobbly leg on a vintage wooden table.
Farm-to-Table Island Staples
The menu prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, showcasing a genuine commitment to Hawaii’s agricultural bounty. Their signature Loco Moco is a standout, ditching the standard heavy gravy for a refined, flavorful approach that highlights organic eggs and grass-fed beef. If you prefer a lighter start, the island-grown fruit bowls and fresh-pressed juices provide a vibrant snap of color against the rustic table settings. The smell of Kona coffee beans grinding at the counter is the first thing to greet you, followed quickly by the savory aroma of garlic shrimp sizzling in the back.
Why You Should Drop In
This spot is ideal for those who favor a laid-back, unpretentious environment over the formal breakfast service found in nearby resorts. Because it is a favorite for the pre-beach crowd, the wait can stretch out onto the sidewalk during peak weekend hours, but the turnover is steady. You are paying for a genuine taste of Hawaii that values seasonal quality over showy presentation. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite before hitting the waves or settling in for a long, lazy brunch, the atmosphere remains consistently mellow and grounded in the rhythms of the Pacific.

I ordered Loco Moco and Hawaiian Humus. The Hawaiian Humus has little spicy and it was really good. On the side there is potatoes thing and It was little sweet and I liked it. And the Loco Moco's Sauce is flavorful, the patties are juicy and good with the Sauce and rice. It was really good !! Also Pina Colada was refreshing and sweet. I would like to come back here and try Egg Benedict!!

Hands-down the single best breakfast we’ve ever eaten—anywhere, ever. The Eggs Benedict with pork was cooked to absolute perfection: silky hollandaise, perfectly poached eggs, and that pork was so tender and flavorful it basically melted in your mouth. The smoothie was fresh, vibrant, and honestly one of the best we’ve ever had. Then came the burger patty with fried egg and gravy—pure comfort-food heaven on a plate. Every bite was a huge, ridiculous hit. We’re still thinking about it hours later. Service was warm, genuine, and full of real smiles—like everyone working there actually loves what they do. We got incredibly lucky and walked right in, but by the time we left there was a long line out the door. Trust me: plan ahead and get here early, because this place is worth any wait. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Easily the meal of the trip—maybe the meal of the decade. Run, don’t walk. 👌🔥

The staff’s recommendations were spot on: the Loco Moco and the Corn Fried Rice were both great and full of flavor. Both items are large enough to be shared if you’re on a budget! Just a heads-up—this spot is popular for a reason. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours. It’s a great local gem with a cool, relaxed vibe.

Cozy restaurant with Hawaiian local organic favorites! Came here for the big island beef loco Moco and really enjoyed it. The patties were a little smaller than we thought it would be. Gravy went well with the rice. The garlic shrimp deep fried had a nice satisfying crunch and bits of garlic. Kalua pork was a nice pupu but didn’t come with anything on the side to eat the pork with. The meal was really fresh, and they use brown rice so it’s healthy! The restaurant is a little smaller than you would expect and more of a breakfast vibe than dinner but they have breakfast favorites such as French toast served for dinner. Parking is a challenge for dinner at the Ala wai harbor (either paid lots or free).

We stopped by Goofy's in Ala Moana for a casual lunch and left very impressed! The loco moco was excellent — perfectly cooked with a rich, savory gravy and a generous portion that hit the spot. The green spaghetti was surprisingly delicious too, with fresh flavors and a nice kick that made it stand out from the usual pasta dishes. We washed everything down with their refreshing Hawaiian pineapple lemonade (so bright and tropical) and a couple of pineapple mimosas that were the perfect touch — not too sweet and super drinkable. Service was very friendly and the vibe is laid-back Hawaiian. Prices felt reasonable for the location and quality. Definitely a fun, tasty spot if you're craving local flavors with a twist. We'll be back next time we're in Honolulu! Highly recommend the loco moco and pineapple mimosa combo. 🌺🍍

Got the Kalua pork eggs benedict and Matcha & Azuki French toast. 10/10 🤌🏼 perfectly cooked and delicious. Not too sweet at all. We also got the mango coconut matcha which was SO GOOD 😊 We went around noon so there was no wait to be seated and wait for our food. I think this place is one of the few places in Waikiki that are actually good & not a scam haha. They are also dog friendly 🩷 also seemingly every staff member is bilingual so it’s nihonjin friendly!

We dined at Goofy’s 3 times during our weeklong stay from March 16-23. There is a stair climb due to the elevator being out of order, a sign in sheet, and a wait time, yet it was worth it each time. The food is very fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. I really liked the eggs Benedict and plantation ice tea. I really enjoyed the open windows and breezy vibe.

Great little restaurant with very friendly service and good food. Small menu but several good options. The ahi poke appetizer was amazing and so were the beef tacos and loco moco. The red potatoes we ordered as an add-on were so delicious! And the ginger crème brûlée was so good. Food came fast, everyone was friendly. Highly recommended. Restaurant is on the first floor with stairs so might not be accessible for all.

This is super cute place! Its much smaller than expected so expect a wait. The food is just ok and not really worth the price for what you get. If youre in town on vacation you should try it but I cant see it being very popular for locals.

waited for ~45 minutes on a sunday morning, but was worth checking out! the loco moco was good, as were the cocktails. a bit on the pricier side, with drinks reaching $15-20 and entrees in the $20s range.
