Downbeat Diner

I'm a big fan of nostalgia so I really liked this place. My friend who has lived here 60 years enjoyed reminiscing as she worked nearby as a young lady. This place was very interesting. I was looking for a diner like experience with other food options besides the normal drowning in Asian options. I had the burger breakfast brunch, which came with the burger, cheese, eggs, hash browns. I chose not to get the bread. My friend had biscuits and gravy.. that was pretty good as well. Eggs Benedict - that's what I REALLY wanted but they had no hollandaise during my visit. There is a bar there so I had a bloody Mary... They have Taco Tuesdays as well.

We’re back a year later and this place is still amazing. We discovered this place after we were turned away from Little Village Noodle. Thrice in two years now. However! This diner is a vegan’s delight! I’m not vegetarian or vegan but my partner is vegetarian. At this diner I never worry about the menu here. Truly this is best Honolulu can offer. Cheers!

This is the second time coming with my family. It's soooo good. They have an amazing vegan selection and yet are still accommodating to a more standard American diet! I definitely recommend going. Yes, currently you will be required to show proof of vaccination but that took 5 seconds. So no biggie. My 11 year old would recommend a chicken and cheese quesadilla with fries. The vegan shakes are also delicious. And personally I really like their vegan BLAT bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomatoe. And also their garlic curly fries. I say give it a go, and enjoy 😉

This is a fun diner with great options for all types of eaters: vegan, vegetarian, or omnivores. I tried the mozzerella sticks, vegan buffalo wings, and the sweet and sour vegan 'ribs'. I would say that wings were excellent but the 'ribs' did not have much of a sweet and sour flavor. Also this location is pretty small and sound carries really loudly - which meant it was very loud in the diner.
