2 eggs, hamburger patty, mushrooms, onions, and gravy over rice. $9.95
Shaka Restaurant, Naalehu HI
Mmm, SO good!! You can’t go wrong with good homemade loco moco. This tasted great and I loved the gravy.
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, tzatziki sauce. $8.27
Gyro Xpress, San Francisco CA
This was decent. The chicken was on the dry side, but I liked the overall flavors. Their tzatziki was particularly runny though.
$8
Waxman’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
These potatoes were delicious. I’m not sure how they were prepared, but I wouldn’t be surprised if duck fat was involved. Noms!
Watermelon radish and seared ahi tuna, smoked salmon and fingerling potatoes, artichokes and bell peppers. Each $2.95
Lemonade, San Francisco CA
Although I think that the portions are on the small side, there’s no question that these are tasty and packed with flavor. No wonder this place is so popular.
Avocado, roasted golden beets, roasted brussels sprouts, egg, and caramelized onions on mixt greens with Point Reyes blue cheese dressing. $10.40
Mixt Greens, San Francisco CA
My work location is the land of the $10+ lunch salad. I was actually surprised that I enjoyed this one though. I liked the variety of toppings they had available, and they were really good quality. The price really starts to jack up when you add meats though.
Each $3.50
Pink Mocha Cafe, Kailua-Kona HI
These weren’t very good. They were dry, small, and lacked any crumble. I’m not sure why they would charge $3.50 for a mini muffin! The service was REALLY slow the morning we tried this place and they kept messing up our orders, but the manager was really friendly and apologetic for the delays and mistakes. She also gave us comped coffees for our next visit.
$5
Laniakea Cafe, Kona International Airport (KOA)
These were disgusting and super greasy! And even worse than the onion rings was the woman working the cash register. She had such a horrible attitude and shouldn’t be allowed to work in customer service. I would rather go hungry than return to this lame restaurant when I’m back in KOA.
Tortilla chips, black bean-corn salsa, gucamole, pepper jack cheese, stadium-style cheese, sauce, salsa fresca, sour cream, jalapenos. Happy hour $4
Huggo’s on the Rocks, Kailua-Kona HI
This was definitely “mini”, but it tasted good and for only 4 bucks I’m not gonna complain. Send me another mai tai, and I’m good! 🙂
Kalua pork (slow roasted salted pork shoulder), lau lau (pork and butterfish wrapped in taro leaf and steamed), pickled clams, and rice. $14.50
Da Poke Shack, Kailua-Kona HI
This was very good, but I think I prefer their poke selections better. The meats were tender and tasty though, and those clams are still killer!
