Mcdonald's

Have to admit that I haven't been inside this location, but I have been going through the drive thru for years now... The staff is always great and always in a good mood. I don't really have any bad experiences to compare it with, that would be relevant to McDonald's drive thru, except the infamous not getting an ice cream cone when you want it sometimes lol but for the most part, have always got the orders I've wanted. I'd probably keep going back, and not because I live closer to this one, but beacsue it's a nice drive and having a cordial and quick service I'm general is great 🫶

Our standby breakfast every time we come to Hawaii. We have to have it just once. Execution was what we expected, consistent and basic. We ordered & paid on the kiosk and our meals were brought to our table in the dining area by an employee. She was robotic, not smiling, and didn’t say a word even when we thanked her. I suppose this is where service is heading these days. At least the dining area was clean and they have a great location adjacent to the Marriott next door and within walking distance to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Years ago, I read somewhere that Hawaii was the only place in the US where one could get the fried apple pies of old. As we passed it this Hawaiian McDonald's, I remembered this fact and stopped by the drive-thru. While the pies seem to have a stronger red hot cinnamon taste than I recall, it was nice to be able to share this experience of old with my children. Hate that you have to travel to Hawaii to get the chance though. We also tried the fried Haipia pie.
