Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen

I'm a tourist from San Diego and this was my favorite meal out of around 20 meals that I had in 7 days in Oahu!Order the blueberry pancakes with their special topping for dessert and the galbi for lunch.Don't let the long lines deter you, as we had a party of 20 and we were 30 back. We sat down in about 30 minutes.

One of my must visits every time I come to visit Oahu. Keep in mind most of the time there's always a line so be patient! Pros: Original macadamia nut pancakes are always super decadent and rich in flavor! Loved it!The kalbi breakfast special with thick cuts of kalbi was full of umami! The complex deep flavors along with the smoky bbq was my son's favorite. He ate it all down to the bone! Literally left nothing behind.First time trying the fried rice omelette and that was definitely a surprise crowd pleaser! It was packed full up flavor and didn't disappoint. The hash browns and their crunchy bits added to the texture of the meal.Staff was friendly so that's always a plus.Cons :The long wait time but my kids loved it here so much they were okay with waitingThey have you pay before u eat which is fine but they also have you tip before you get served too which took me by surprise cause I tip base on how good my service was and how can I tip accordingly when I haven't even been serviced. I mentioned that to the person in the front and they nicely said I can always come back to change my tip accordingly to how I felt my service was, which I was then okay with. Overall, a great brunch was had and my kids asked to go back one more time before we go home

We came on a Sunday morning. It wasn't too crowded, but the wit was still around 15 minutes. We shared the original pancakes. I had the rib eye steak and eggs and my wife had the Hawaiian Style Kalbi. The pancakes were VERY tasty. Not too sweet and very fluffy. My rib eye steak was okay, nothing special. I probably wouldn't order it again. My wife's Kalbi was excellent. Good flavor. Generous portion. She loved it. I loved the 1 piece she was kind enough to let me try. The service was great. Everyone was extremely friendly, constantly refilling our water and coffee. Also, clean bathrooms! Always a big plus!

Had breakfast here with a big group. The restaurant is casual so the tables were a bit apart from each other. We ordered outside with a server taking our orders on an iPad. The wait was long and the food was decent. It took a while for the food to come out as well. Ordered side orders of garlic shrimp, short rib, and rice separately as my friend and I did not care for other sides that came with the combo plates. The side orders of garlic shrimp and short ribs orders were really small. The garlic shrimp and short rib were decent but shrimp was a bit overcooked and short rib was not tender and a bit hard. Banana mac pancake was yummy. I enjoyed the creamy refreshing cold macadamia nut sauce and the fresh bananas inside the pancake. I wouldn't wait in a line again for this.

Best ever service!! Like their checkin- order at the door - pay- then seating: casual dining and flows well. Food is always amazing & the staff are so friendly!!

Best pancakes ever!!! Got seated pretty quickly when we went. The restaurant is like a diner-style decorated with lots of sports memorabilia. The macadamia nut pancakes are a MUST. It would be a crime to come here and not get them! The rest of the food was delicious, but I think I could go without the corn beef hash next time! It wasn't very crispy on the outsides and had more of a mushy texture to it.

Food: Solid breakfast food spot! Stopped by after Lanikai Pillbox. The toast was a pleasant surprise, it was crunchy and battered. One serving is definitely enough to make you full. Corned beef was nice and crunchy, good textures. Eggplant parm omelette was good too. Service/Wait/Ambiance: I got there 15 minutes before opening and there was already a line. Workers will come out and take your order, you pay once you get inside, then you're shown to your table. Efficient system but good to know ahead of time. Casual local diner, they do try to maximize the amount of tables though. Price: $$ Slightly above average price for brunch food. But worth since the portion is large. Parking: Large lot outside.

This is possibly one of the best macnut pancakes I've had in Hawaii! My husband and I had an early morning appt and was looking for a place to eat that would be open. Luckily we got here a few minutes before they opened and a line started forming already! This place has an interesting set up - you line up outside, someone takes your order, then you go inside to the cashier to pay first, then be seated by a server. I'm assuming they don't want a line to form inside the restaurant. We ordered the macnut (short stack) pancakes (we noticed almost every other table got one! and one table JUST got the pancakes and left), and the Pulehu ribs. The ribs were my favorite ribs throughout our trip. It was flavorful, but not incredibly salty, and just the right amount of burnt edges. Highly highly recommend this breakfast place!

Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen is located off Keolu Drive in the Enchanted Lake Center.Decided to change things up for breakfast and over the mountain it was. We were greeted at the door with smiling staff member, great way start the morning off. She said they take orders prior to entering and that whole menu was available, awesome! After looking over the good size menu, we gave her our order and proceed inside to get the receipt to pay, the cashier is straight ahead. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash, Egg and Fried Rice. The food came out quickly and everything was cooked exactly as ordered, delicious. I must mention that the service by all the staff members were outstanding! It's been a long time since we've had excellent service like this. From the beginning to the end, very attentive. I wish they were closer to town, but I would gladly drive here for the food and service anytime.

Banana pancakes with mac sauce were absolutely delicious!! Service was quick and orderly. Price was more on the expensive side, but the food was great! If you're willing to pay the price, you can't go wrong with this resturant!
