Review Rock Island Cafe - Honolulu

Alexander Fellman
My favourite restaurant on the island. A proper diner, lacking only wheels and a lot, of a sort you just don't find on the mainland anymore. It's excellent, the menu is excellent, the staff are excellent, and the atmosphere is excellent. I'm using the word excellent a lot. It's excellent. It's just excellent. Also, they'll do a veggie burger if you ask.

Very cute vintage diner! Really enjoyed the vibe! Gave my toddler all kinds of cool stuff to look at while we ate and my older daughter loved it too! Fun for all ages! We will definitely go again!

We had the Big Bopper burger, chocolate milkshake, and cherry coke. Everything was delicious. The menu had a big selection of Americana food like burgers, pizza, hot dogs, and many more options. The inside resembled an old-fashioned soda shop and had really cool memorabilia to look at and buy. The service was quick and friendly. We'll definitely eat there again.

Really enjoyed their happy hour beer and food. I think their happy hour was 3-6pm and the beer was $4. The restaurant is old fashioned diner and uniquely designed with its vintage decor and sell them too! I wish i found this place earlier. Good beer time after hiking and chicken wing&fries was soo good

Amazing food with amazing prices to match. Would definitely come here again if I visit the island. The food tasted great and was delivered quickly. The gentleman that helped us was also very friendly. The building also has lots of neat items to look at while you wait for your food. If I could give more then 5 stars I would. Best service and food I had during my stay in Hawaii! :)

Excellent retro vibes and good food. There's also a pinball machine that we tried out and a bunch of collectibles for sale. Had the luau nachos, a chilli cheese dog and their pizza dog, all of which were great.

Food was so good. The fries and onion rings were the best part, the burgers paddy was cooked perfectly. The root beer float was very yummy. The milkshake there was really good they even gave us the leftovers of the milkshake and a milkshake was way better than Baskin Robbins

Loved the nostalgia of the restaurant. It's fairly small, but the vintage items make it worth the trip. Quite a bit was for sale. I had the chili cheese dog and onion rings. Both were okay - not great, but you're there for the whole experience. The group did say they would go back.

The atmosphere is a time capsule with collectibles. The food is delicious. Best of all the hostess was full of kindness with the utmost hospitality.

Very nice Diner, very friendly staff and very good food. My wife's meal size was good, only my fries with cheese and chili could have a bit more. I compensated that with a draft beer at happy hour for only 3 dollars.

Very friendly, quick service and great food! We took pictures with Elvis, Marilyn and Betty Boop! Great place for families. I highly recommend stopping in!

Amazing! Very very nice staff and very fast! We got the loaded tater tots and burgers with fries! Burgers had a Smokey flavor like it was fresh off a real grill. Fries were crispy and the tater tots were awesome. Bacon was thick and real. Loved it and will totally be coming again.

This place is so much fun. 10/10 recommend. Don't go here if you're on a diet lol. It's a great place to go ham, have a burger and a milkshake. The people there working are very nice. It's was a fun experience.

This place is a lot of fun. Very friendly staff, good food and a fabulous decor. If you like the 50's soda fountain look then you will love this place. Great milkshakes.

Great place to eat and the staff are friendly. You have to try the pulled pork pizza �. Well worth a visit, you will not be disappointed. I would give this place 5 stars and would recommend to everyone �����

Love this gem! Great atmosphere! Love the 50’s decor. Wonderful staff, also in 50’s dress! Great price and value considering location prime Waikiki. Food was hot and just what we were craving. Banana split was worth the $$ so good on a hot day of hard playing at the beach! Also the fried pickles are awesome. One thing they could do is make their own ranch.. it makes a world of difference.

Came across this kitschy diner/cafe while out for a walk. Menu has a good selection of food for any taste. Between 3 of us (including an infant) we shared the luau nachos, BLT, luau hot dog, and grilled cheese. First, the pork is VERY tasty - great on both the nachos and the big, bold hot dog. The Hawaiian sweet bread for both the grilled cheese and hot dog buns were nice additions. The decor (much of which is for sale) is fun and entertaining, as is the music and videos playing in the background. I was concerned when we walked in around 7:15 because the restaurant was relatively empty, which normally equates to questionable cuisine. In this case, I'm simply baffled, because both the food and the staff were nothing short of top-notch. Don't miss this place while you can still get it!

Wish we would have found this place at the beginning of our vacation instead of the end of it. They have amazing hamburgers and a very friendly staff
John McDougall
Not only an amazing atmosphere but friendly staff. The food is superb, much like a traditional old diner. A must hit in Waikiki

We went there during our honeymoon stay...my husband Rick Cloe has been a regular for years. This is a must if you are visiting the island. One of a kind gem.
Stacey James

I had the blessing of working here some months in 2006 and i loved everything about it!! Great food and especially great people: Rob, Flo, Michael, Kim.... some day i will come back... Argentina is far away but my heart stayed in Hawaii �
Ian Morton
Great diner with funky decor. The shakes are awesome, and the service is wonderful. I would recommend it to all. Burgers are good, and the Happy Hour prices can't be beat!
