"We’ve been taking out from Islander Drive Inn for many years. Its not a fancy place, just a simple, hometown spot, but i gave them 5 stars for 5 reasons.
#1 Consistency - What i ate many years ago tastes the same every time we went including today. Im not left scratching my head figuring they changed cooks again. If they did, I didn’t notice. What makes me so sure? I eat the SAME THING every time.
#2 Accuracy- They have never messed up my order. Nothing different, nothing missing, I get what I ordered. Utensils too.
#3 Hot Food- I paid higher prices at places 5 minutes away from my house that left me feeling cold. Literally. Not here though.
#3 Communication- They answer the phone quickly, I understand what they are saying and they understand me. Pleasant.
#4 Convenience- Fast Service. Good location. Good parking. I always need medication picked up at Longs so picking up a meal at the same time makes it easy.
#5 Local Business- Always support local.
My personal favorite is always the Honey Garlic Chicken plate with all white rice. Nice,Sweet Honey sauce with perfect amount of garlic, not overpowering and Crispy juicy Chicken. Very flavorful. Good portions. My husband enjoys the homemade hamburger steak with onions and requested gravy all over everything. Fries are crinkle cut. They are decent. Good selection of other different plate lunches as well with pictures. If you haven’t been, we recommend this humble spot in Wahiawa.

Wow. I guess my review a month ago wasn’t taken to heart because returning here was a huge disappointment. This is the first time in the many many years we have been coming here that i was let down. First of all, it took so long to answer the phone i was just about to hang up. Secondly I couldn’t hear what was being said to me so i had to ask if it was Islander that i was calling. Then as i was ordering, there wasn’t enough gravy so i couldn’t complete the order. The grouchy guy i was talking to wasn’t even apologetic about it either. I shouldn’t have ordered anything at all. It will be awhile before i come back if i do at all. Very very disappointing!!! I hate doing this but i gotta be honest.
