Keneke's

After spending the morning at Kaiona Beach Park with my cat, Laki, we stopped by Keneke’s for lunch and had such a wonderful experience. The outdoor seating area felt very pet-friendly, and everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming 🐾 I ordered the Coconut Shrimp lunch special, and it was honestly some of the best coconut shrimp I’ve had on Oʻahu. The shrimp were incredibly crispy, packed with real coconut flavor, and clearly made fresh to order. It took a little longer to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The lunch special came with rice, macaroni salad, and a drink for only $13.60, which feels almost unbelievable compared to Waikiki prices these days. The portions were huge!! I ended up taking leftovers home and still had food left in my fridge later that day. The cashier was especially friendly and welcoming. You can tell this is a place loved by locals, but it also feels comfortable and inviting for first-time visitors. When we arrived, we were lucky and there was no line. By the time we finished ordering, a crowd had formed behind us, which says a lot about how popular this place is. If you’re visiting around lunchtime, be prepared for a wait, but the food is definitely worth it 🥰😸 We’ll absolutely be back. Mahalo! 🌺 📍 IG / YT : @oahutabbycats

They’re here at Ko’olau distillery tonight and we are BLOWN AWAY by their burger and pastrami fries! 100% recommend! The prices are great for the quality of the food. Wish I would’ve taken a pic but we ate it too fast haha

Got the 2 teriyaki burgers and soda for $10, sit down area is full of birds I’ve never seen before. Otherworldly. I love that you cater funerals with bento boxes, sign me up. Free WiFi

Me and my friend got a deal which was 10$ for two Teriyaki Burgers and a large drink. The taste of the burgers was very good and a good size too, which made it a great value deal. The lady who took our order was also very nice. Also great views from the outdoor seating!

Worst service ever....I ordered 3 choice mix plate and it says on the end that it's 6 fantail deep fried shrimp and I ordered one choice laulau and two choice shrimp and they give me only four pieces of shrimp.... they need to explain on there menu that they only going give you four cuz what if I ordered just one choice shrimp what am I going get just 2 pieces of shrimp and I paid almost $20 for my plate.... theremenuneed to be explained or at least tell the people what you getting cuz that's robbery when your menu say it you stick to your menu... that's false advertisement.... don't go there you don't know what else they not giving you in your plate that your supposed to get and paid for.....

We ordered teriyaki burger and garlic fries. You really can't beat the price and the view. The burger was good but nothing out of ordinary. The first few bites of garlic fries was unreal, super delicious. But the more we ate the greasier it got. We do recommend but we waited about 30mins for the food FYI.

Stopped here for a quick bite in Waimanalo. We ordered the Pork Adobo, Deluxe Cheeseburger, and fries, and everything was good overall. It was honestly pretty affordable compared to the usual city prices. The fries, however, didn’t seem to have any salt or seasoning, so they tasted a bit bland. The wait time was a bit long, but they do have a nice seating area with beautiful mountain views, which made the visit more enjoyable :)

Keneke’s was a good stop for a casual meal. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but everything we ordered was tasty and the portions were really generous. It’s a nice spot with a great view of the mountains, and the prices felt very reasonable. The only downside was that it took forever to get our food, so don’t come if you’re in a rush. Overall, still a solid local place and I’d try it again.

Delicious! We loved the food so much we came twice during our stay on the island. The people working in the back were very friendly and generous. The food was delicious, best loco moco I’ve had and the triple bbq plate was so good.

Highly recommend trying their coconut shrimp! Everyone I’ve taken here absolutely loved it. Great price and great taste
