Diners praise L&L Drive-Inn for its consistently good Hawaiian plate lunches, generous portions, and affordable prices. While some note the decor might be dated, the friendly service and delicious, hearty meals make it a favorite for locals and visitors alike.

"We stopped here before heading to the Dole Plantation. If you are heading to the Dole Plantation you are only 7 minutes away, depending on traffic.

The food was delicious and they had so much to choose from!"

Nelson Lopez

"We had the seafood combo, the teriyaki steak bowl, double cheeseburger deluxe, chicken sandwich and two orders of fries , 3 fountain drinks and a coconut water. Steak bowl was small but it was very filling. Burger was huge and so was the chicken sandwich. Seafood combo was delicious. Definitely recommend"

Tippi Vermillion

"Surprisingly good to us !
Regular size fried chicken rice : amazing ! Usually fast food comes with strong salty taste / flavour . Simple fried chicken won’t taste too salty and the source does match it very well . The portion is huge for Asian lady !

Small beef rice : all taste good and it is more than just a fast food restaurant ."
