The Local @hnl - Honolulu

January 2022: Had the Loco Moco before the trip. The options at the airport are not so great. So you need to lower your expectations of food options... Especially with the pandemic that affects the work... That means I was kind with my four reviews because people are trying hard to serve food for hungry travelers. My Loco Moco was decent. Great part is a plus. Meat, egg and engraving were good. Service was friendly and they tried. Thank you.

Good food. Tasted fresh. I don't know if the farm to table/getting ingredients from local farmers is 100% true but nonetheless the food tasted good fresh. Good beer. English brew on tap tasted stale. Maui brewing company blonde ale was good. Nice, courteous server. I do recommend this place

We stopped in the get lunch before boarding for our 9 hour flight back home. The menu had a good selection. We ordered the nachos and the chicken avocado quesadilla along with a mai tai drink. The service was good, the food was decent and the drinks were strong. You pay for what you get with this drink. We only needed one! Overall, I would recommend stopping in for a lunch or a drink.

The chicken burger was odd as it came with tomato, lettuce and onions when they would usually just have some mayo sauce and maybe a pickle. Nonetheless it was decent and came with a generous portion of fries. Their Nachos were topped directly with guacamole, sour cream and pulled pork. As a result, they were cold and soggy and ruined what could have been a solid 4 star airport restaurant.

Ordering is convenient and payment is convenient since it is all completed through the QR code website. It made it quick. Of course prices are a little high but overall the food was good enough to hold you over before the flight. If it’s not slammed it is probably the best spot to go to in the airport as most of the lounges are still closed.
