The Kekaha
Are you looking for bold flavors in every bite? If so, The Kekaha is definitely the way to go. This combo comes with your choice of hamburger steak, smoke meat, or roast pork as the main entrée. To that, they add Sista’s fried chicken and either mac salad, fried saimin, or tossed green salad.

Da Meatless Box
If you want to skip the meat without compromising on flavor, then treat yourself to Da Meatless Box. This dish comes with a large tossed green salad and your dressing of choice. To that, they kick it up a notch with ½ pound of sauteed mushrooms plus a big slice of garlic bread.

Da Surf ‘N Turf
For a taste of the best of both worlds, you cannot go wrong with Da Surf ‘N Turf. They create this masterpiece by frying up two pieces of beer-battered ono. Once that’s done, they add their teriyaki beef and shrimp tempura plus fried saimin, mac salad, or tossed greens alongside.

If you’d like a drink with your meal, head over to the refrigerator case to select your soda. They have all the best flavors on tap in regular and diet, so you can sip to your heart’s content while you enjoy your meal. You’re also welcome to bring your own drinks if you prefer something a little different.

Insider Tips:
-Stop by the ATM before you arrive because they only accept cash payments.
-Want to enjoy local art, live music, and more with your meal? Plan your visit for Friday night to catch the street fair running right along the front of the restaurant.
-There are no restrooms available, so plan accordingly.
-If you’d like to skip straight to enjoying your meal, call in your order before leaving your hotel. You’ll still have to stand in line to pay and get your food, but it’s much quicker than ordering onsite.
