I love stopping in at Machete's to grab a quick bite. Their bread has a freshly baked lightness, which is perfectly complemented with hearty sliced meats and crisp veggies. The "Meaner" turkey & ham is my jam 🎸(but no jam on it).
Food is FRESH and tasty
The staff is friendly and quick to complete your order. Also, music playing over speakers is always choice. I just wish they'd turn it up a bit!
These are some of the biggest and best sandwiches on this island. In fact, I challenge anybody to find a better one.
Great pastrami. Great people and amazing service can't wait to try them all

Do your mouth a favor.... get 2! If you aren’t that hungry now, get one for later!!
I pass this shop frequently since I now work in Waikiki. Today, (Saturday), I had an appointment in town, so I decided this was the day I was going to treat my taste buds to a new adventure. SO GLAD I STOPPED IN! Bread is substantial and delicious (I had the wheat); and I got the Italian and The Machete to take home and share. Both were really delicious; just the right balance of bread, meat, veg, cheese and dressings. I'll be back!
Just purchased.. (@ 8 Sept @ 1500)a machete and turkey avocado and bacon. And it was smackin!! . Guy working there at this time was very kind and patient.
I was craving a sandwich and it was on point. It’s the bread!!
I noticed big bags in the sandwich shop and baking tins and asked if they made their bread, yes they do. The bread already looks like it’s going to be delicious. Thick cuts of soft white bread. AND IT WAS!! Soft and delicious and fresh.
The guy who made the sandwich said I could purchase a loaf, I really am considering it.
It is what I like to call, a repeat buy!!
Ordered 10 sandwiches for our Whanau after being at the beach. Sandwiches were ready when we arrived. Lasted the trip back to our Resort and were fresh, tasty and reka (yum). Big Boys were stumped with The Machete!! Everyone loved the sandwiches they order
and would happily order next time were back in Hawaii. Nga mihi
10/10 sandwich shop. If you’re looking for an “aesthetic” shop, this ain’t it. If you’re looking for a legitimate sando shop that checks all the boxes (delicious bread, good proportions, generous meat servings, friendly service), this is definitely the place
After months of walking by this place I went in for the first time today. I got the “meanest”sandwich and it took me a while to eat this thing. It was so good. Love me a great sandwich. So happy that this right by my residence. I got the beef pastrami sandwich.
The sandwiches are Amazing! The bread they use is magic, like "hogwarts wizard is kept prisoner in the back to make their bread" magic! The Italian and roast beef are my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Meannnnnn!!! Super yummy sandwich. I ordered Italian on white and it did not disappoint. Soft bread and fresh meat with veggies. Delicious!!!
This sandwich was AWESOME (machete sandwich from menu) yes it was big but man was it nice, make their own bread an all. Service was great nice chat when waiting. Will give going back!!
I ordered the machete, my son got the italian, and my daughter ordered the turkey bacon avocado, and my wife and other daughter had the turkey. The bread was baked in house. Amazing sandwiches all around!
Bro, I don’t think I’ve ever had a better sandwich. I saw it on Uber Eats and thought, “what the hell; let’s give it a shot. The reviews look good.”
I picked it up from the tiny shop outside Waikiki and the smell of bread was delicious. I got my sandwich and ate it at the beach. I got The Machete—turkey, pastrami, ham, salami and cheddar cheese on crack wheat bread. The bread is THICK and fresh. The fillings were also thick. I’m a guy that likes to eat a lot, and for $13.95 this was a deal. I’m so impressed that I will be back and tell all my friends about it. Mahalo.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! Surprised why there are not more reviews. I am a total foodie and this is the best sandwich place so far! The bread is amazing, Every Sandwich I've tried is delicious! Their service is great. And the best part, they deliver! So anytime you're craving one of those sandwiches (and you will crave them) place an order and it'll show up at your doorstep in 20 minutes! Do you guys need a marketing person? Cuz I will definitely tell the whole island and every tourist about it!
Absolutely the TASTIEST Sandwiches in the area! This place takes a simple concept to the next level. Super FRESH ingredients piled high in-between two slices of fresh baked, delicious bread. This isn't your routine sandwich experience. Be prepared to be WOW'ed! #supportlocal You won't be disappointed!
My overall experience was amazing. I ordered the Italian sandwich with bacon and avocado spread. The sandwich was excellent melted in my mouth. The size of the sandwich is worth the price. The height of one slice of bread is like about an inch. But the overall sandwich is a little over three inches. The best part of this experience is that my order came 10 mins before the ETA time.
The bread is fresh baked and to die for. Smell of bread baking there is gorgeous. The staff is generous with the filling which is also fresh and great quality. Best sandwiches in Honolulu. It's a hole in the wall type of place. Two tables only in a fairly noisy industrial type setting. Perfect for takeout or if you just want a quick bite that is delicious and don't mind a bit of noise. Really reasonable prices too (about $7 to $13). Parking is tough.
Excellent bread (their white bread is actually baked with honey), excellent portions for sandwiches, excellent quality.
Be mindful of time though, as they do not keep a ton of supplies on hand, and they may not have the ingredients for your favorite if you come late (though tbh every sandwich I've tried is good so just pick another).
Overall a decent sandwich place. The ingredients seem fresh and the sandwiches they make are tasty, big, and reasonably priced. Depending on the day, service can be on the slower side however.
One of my very favorite sandwich shops ever. They actually give you a solid amount of fillings so your sandwich isn't just bread. Not that it would too terrible because their bread is INSANELY DELICIOUS, but still. Great prices too. Love you Machete's!
My colleague and I went in there during lunch hour to grab sandwiches and were shocked at the speed and quality of them. Got to meet the owner who was working hard in the back and it was over all a great experience. The fresh baked bread was absolutely what made the sandwich. Best sub shop on the island.
Wait what? You haven't tried the best sandwiches on the Island yet? They make their own bread from scratch every day and you've never had any that's better. Fresh, premium meats, freshly sliced veggies and REAL hass avocados. Family owned and operated, Evan and Rachel take pride in their product, provide excellent service and are the nicest people!
If you're eating during the lunch rush, I recommend calling ahead to place your order. This place is so popular that sometimes the wait can be 15 - 20 minutes. But if you call ahead, they will have it ready for you when you get there.
