The Harkness Dining Room at the Queens Medical Center has a wide variety of food options. It's very convenient if you're in the area. As there aren't many other food places within walking distances away from the hospital. Prices have increased over the years to cover cost and inflation, which is understandable.All of the staff I've encountered are very polite, friendly and helpful :) Things are clean, organized and fully stocked. You enter the food area on the left side, and when you're ready to pay, you wait in line by the registers on the right side. Utensils, napkins and condiments are located pass the registers and before the doors. During lunch time (12pm) it can get pretty busy.There are different bottled drinks (kombucha, smoothies, soda, coffee, water, teas, sports drinks, energy drinks), soups, produce, weighted salad bar, flat bread pizzas, packed sushi, pre-made sandwiches, packed salads, pre-made desserts, ice cream, snacks (cookies, marshmallow bar, protein bar, chips, pastries), entrees, breakfast foods in the morning (scrambled eggs, fried rice, spam, Portuguese sausage, corned beef, potatoes), grill short order/ made upon order items (fries, burgers), showcase specials (weekdays, until sold out), and more. The entrees and showcase specials menus are rotating and are posted towards the entrance exit of the dining room.For the grill short order/ made upon order items, you order at the register and pay. Then wait by the grill window on the side with your receipt.Recommended items: The fried rice available during breakfast time is super flavorful and delicious. The pot roast entree is a personal fave of mines. The more popular showcase specials sell out really fast, so get there early if you want dibs. OH! The pre-made Mediterranean Salmon Fatoosh Salad is also a favorite of mines. It's a bit pricier, but the fillet of salmon is pretty big and filling.There are a few tables located within the dining room and a few outside with umbrella shading. If you go down the stairs there are more tables with umbrella shading.

"The hospital dining room- the mixed bag"Hospital dining rooms vary in the quality of offerings. Like an oasis in the middle of a dessert, the hospital dining room provides sustenance and a diversion for one's visit to the hospital. Most of the hospital visitor offerings are meh, and some are down right awful. The Harkness Dining Room is really not bad, and actually quite good. Take my latest foray into the world of hospital dining: I had roast pork with gravy over mash potato. No need for add-ons, just that and a bottle of ice tea. When I ordered it from the server, she said she guaranteed the meat was tender and tasty, and you know what? It was! The selections are decent, they have a salad bar, and the employees are pleasant. Decent seating inside, lots seating outside too. A reasonable option when at Queen's hospital or the POB offices.

I went there on Saturday 11/10/24 at 6:00PM but its already closes. In the website it says business hours from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM but that is misleading. Not a good business practice.

Let me start by saying the food directly from the dining room is awesome, hot and tasty is winners. And now they have carts being pushed by the nicest and most friendliest workers that go to the different floors and wings around breakfast and lunch time ringing their bell to alert you to their presence. Now the reason for only fours stars is that the food that comes from the cart that should be hot actually ends up room temperature or cold like the miso soup which was cold (but there are microwaves around, you just need to ask where). That being said I highly recommend things like the somen salad or the salmon lox bagel with cream cheese and capers which was really good. Also the carts sell drinks too.

Due to a family member becoming a patient at Queens, I had dined at the Harkness Dining Hall numerous times. It is a good idea to get here at or before 1130 because the lunch crowd starts at 1145 and the place really fills up. The salad bar looks terrific and I did enjoy my first meal here. I grabbed a tuna sandwich before noticing that the hot food line was offering pastele stew so I switched my lunch to the pastele stew. I thought it was delicious but the white cubes in the stew were not potatoes but pork fat. I went for breakfast one morning and had the fried rice with scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage and pork links. I would not eat the breakfast here again. Some of the rice was so hard that I had to spit it out. The Portuguese sausage was tough, the eggs were soft scrambled and the pork links lacked some flavor. The last time I went for lunch I grabbed that tuna sandwich that I didn't buy the first time. It wasn't good, it was tasteless and I added a little more mayo because the tuna was pretty dry. So I am pretty much over it and will only return to buy beverages.

It's been a whirlwind since moving back home to Oahu. If you dine here, you either A) Work at Queen's. B) Are visiting a family member or friend in the hospital. C) Are curious to try every single eating establishment on yelp. :)I am part of Party B.I am grateful for Harkness, as I had to wait 7 hours (we were informed the procedure would take 2 hours, thus I stayed and waited). The menu changes daily and is posted at the entrance. Hot food options for the day included Korean chicken and pastele stew. There was a third option that I didn't commit to memory. I had the pastele stew that came with a side of white rice that was about $11. It was salty, savory, yummy (a little overly fatty for my liking but I removed the excess fat). I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a side of fresh salad. They do have a salad bar which you can pay extra for.I appreciate the outdoor (and indoor) dining. We dined outside, which was nice to get fresh air and sunshine. There are umbrellas to provide shade and shield from rain. It was lovely being surrounded by tropical plants that are well taken care of.I found it quite cumbersome that there were no trays available, as I was pushing a wheelchair and the plate was burning my arm. A thoughtful cashier saw me struggle and overheard me searching for trays and provided me with a cardboard box. Mahalo nui!Tip: Harkness is on the 1st Floor (not Lobby). Wheelchair accessible, although you have to meander a bit.

Same as it was 15 years ago. A no-frills place to grab a bite while at the hospital. Salad bar is OK, sandwiches in fridge and hot cafeteria meals round out the fare.It'll keep you fed. That's all.

Hospital cafeteria food is what you get. I mean it's average. If you can't leave the hospital then this place will do. Otherwise have a delivery service get it for you and take it to your room. The grill is met yet open as of this week. It's been closed since the beginning of COVID19. Everyone is still socially distancing in the cafeteria. They're true believers here!

This hospital cafeteria is pretty close to my office so I check out it's daily specials online. They have some pretty good specials! I love the steak and potato salad and the taco salad. It's definitely not what you expect for hospital cafeteria food - really quite tasty! The prices aren't cheap but are in line with what you'd expect. They also have a salad bar (but not during COVID) and an assortment of grab and go items. I think the grill might be closed during COVID as well. You do need to get temperature checked before entering. It's a hospital, after all, but you gotta appreciate the precautions!
