Jack's Restaurant

I love Jack's Restaurant! I first came here back in 2000 when I started dating my soulmate. Their breakfast is yummm and there is bomb!!!And so for my birthday, I thought it would be wonderful to celebrate it at Jack's Restaurant! I'm happy we did! :)As we entered today for breakfast, we were immediately greeted with a friendly smile. Her name is Michelle. She's been working here for over 34+ years and so I was right to think that she was there 24 years ago. The restaurant is hidden in Aina Haina shopping center. It's not huge or small, it's just perfect for those who are looking to find good food, friendly staffs and quick service. It's also quiet here. We really love Michelle! She was nice and friendly and checked in on us a number of times and refilled my coffee. Thank you! I ordered Combo C: Jack's Suggestion. I had their corned beef hash, over easy eggs and rice with a side of wheat toast. I also ordered Vienna sausage on the side. I wish I got their biscuits but I'm not worried because I'll definitely come more often ;)My daughter ordered their Yoghurt Parfait. It had strawberries, bananas, cantaloupe, grapes and granolas over the yogurt. She loved it!!!One note, please bring cash with you. They accept credit cards/debit cards but there is a 3% charge. It's something I've been seeing everywhere so we all just need to have cash to avoid additional charges/fees ;)We also witnessed a young man who mentioned that his grandfather brought him there when he was little. It's a beautiful feeling to see a young person who cherishes those moments! We also met the other staff, Helen. She told had a nice smile. There's lots of free parking. I promise you won't be disappointed. Come and check them out, if you haven't heard of them! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week ahead!

My Friend raves about this place SO much so I was so excited to finally visit. Jack's Restaurant has been around for decades, and they're known for their classic, comforting breakfast foods (and biscuits lol)We got a couple of different dishes, which all looked pretty small in portion but filled us up quick! Here's what we got:Ham, Cheese and Mushroom Omelette Combo no. 4 (corned beef hash, 1 egg)Set C ( 2 eggs, protein, starch)each item came with a biscuit, and we paid the small extra fee to get it grilled with a side of their honey butter. the biscuit is REALLY DRY LOL but yummy with the butter, and I loved the corned beef hash. Despite the food coming out kind of slow, the service was great - all the aunties were attentive and kind.

Wanted a sit down lunch restaurant in the Shopping center, Jack's came up! Simplecasual looking eatery. Ask to sit anywhere, we liked. Friendly waitress, but all businessOrdered a hamburger Felix, club and fish sandwichesSide salad was fine, but the side mac salad was kids size. They did not have French fries or chips to go with their sandwich meals.A big let down! Pickles were cut so skimpy!Sandwiches were ok! Would not go back, Not worth the value for the meals served.Breakfast maybe is better! We'llnot be back, place looks messy with all the take out boxes in front. They charge a 3Percent charge for using a credit card, a big turn off! Bye Jacks!!!

Still a great option. Known more for their simple breakfasts, Jacks is a whole lot more. Went there recently for breakfast, had the corn beef hash and egg which came with a grilled biscuit and bottomless coffee for $11. Compare that to a Zippys equivalent and you are paying twice as much. And Jacks coffee is great and pretty consistent. The service is nice, the food comes out in a reasonable time. They can get packed, but it's usually worth the wait. Their after breakfast offerings are delicious and on this day they had kalua turkey, lamb curry and Hawaiian chopped steak as some of the lunch selections. Next time you are near Aina Hina, Jacks is a great place for breakfast and to go for a plate lunch. An institution in east Honolulu, lots of parking.

I love this place! Local Asian team that are friendly and efficient. The food is good, quick, reasonably priced, and portions are fair and not huge. We have only done takeout from here. I usually get one of the combos with everything that can be, made extra crispy and the husband gets an omelette. I love their crispy hash browns, bacon, and corned beef hash. It's legit local breakfast. Do you see how crispy this is?! They're consistent also which is huge for me because I will notice the details when it comes to crunch especially. The grilled biscuit with honey butter is perfect and not to be missed! I thought I did a review before and came to update it but of course I only did the review in my mind haha. Check this place out, easy to find in Aina Haina Shopping Center a few doors down from Foodland. You will not be sorry!

Ordered the combo breakfast (ham ,2 ez over eggs, rice and toast), also the breakfast combo fried rice, bacon a scrambled egg, and a biscuit. Also ordered 4 biscuits and a short stack. Ordered take out and food was ready on time. The cafe, is a typical coffee shop vibes.....busy and people having a nice time.

First time trying this 60 year restaurant establishment. Vintage style feeling with older style tables, chairs, decor, and cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. The floors appear clean along with tables. I figured I would try the name sake special of Jack's Special Fried Rice with 3 slices of Portuguese sausage, one egg, and a choice of soup, salad or biscuit for $14.95. My walking buddy selected the Quarter pounder burger combo with cheese and a biscuit for $11.75. Sorry to report but the fried rice was too salty and the rice was soft and mushy, I couldn't eat it. The Portuguese sausage was also salty and soft to cut. The highlight was the biscuit, which was flaky and tasty with the honey butter. I didn't eat the sunny side up egg as the fried rice was just too salty. I took the leftovers home to add rice and stir fry it for a crispier texture. The burger looked good and my walking buddy consumed it along with the biscuit. Service was friendly and our waters were refilled. A service charge of 3% will be applied to all credit card charges. Free parking just outside the restaurant. Food: Fried rice special 2/5 starsService: 4/5 starsAmbiance: 3/5 stars ( too many cardboard boxes stacked around)

Whenever I'm back on the islands, Jacks has to be the first and last place I eat out. Sure enough, this trip I made it there 4 times and each visit was as good as I remember and equally satisfying. My ride or die order is combo 4 (egg over easy, crispy corned beef hash, grilled biscuit and iced tea). Can never resist a side of crisp hash browns. The aunties there are so lovely and you really feel at home.

Came in on a Sunday around 10amI was worried we would have a long wait, but there two open tables when we got there.Waitress brought waters and took our order.A lot of the menu sounded good - and next time I would try the corned beef hash and pancakes.This time I opted for the beef and eggs (with onion and mushroom aka loco moco) with a biscuit and my fiance ordered the omelette sandwich (an omelette in between two pancakes). He said it was good, just an odd combo to eat in the same bite with syrup.The loco moco was ok - beef patty was cooked well done so it was a little dry, but the gravy and added Tabasco and salt helped - and I ate the whole thing. Casual diner spot. Would go back if I was in the area.

Always busy... and I know why! The food is yummy and affordable. Service is quick. All the aunties work so hard. My brunch date loves the biscuit grilled. I got the corned beef hash, 1 egg and biscuit! I liked that the corned beef hash wasn't greasy! Was so good, I forgot to take a photo of it. Date got the fried rice. That was good too!If you're looked for cute ambiance, it's not cute. But gives the feel of the good ole days... an oldie but goodie for sure!!!
