How does The Local have such a low rating on Yelp? For an airport place, it's pretty great. Prices are a bit lower than on Waikiki; food is unimaginative and not the most flavorful but just fine (especially considering you're in an airport, for Heaven's sake). Decent selection of eats, cooked to order and big portions. The service that we experienced (you order on your phone and they bring it to you and check on you constantly) was really terrific - on par with that at a fine-dining place. And the view of the Japanese Garden - well, how are you going to do better than that in an airport anywhere?

Pretty good for an airport restaurant. Especially when compared to pricing at the Burger King. Spend the extra couple bucks and get the better food before you are eating stale crackers on a 5 hour flight.View looks out onto the beautiful courtyard of the Honolulu airport. waitress was friendly and efficient. Food was a good portion size and very tasty. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised.

Came here before our trip to LA. Waitress was an older aunty who wasn't very enthusiastic to be there. We ordered through our phones, my partner got the Loco Moco and I got the Beyond Burger.The Loco Moco was decent. I thought the gravy was good! It was rich and thick. I didnt try the patty but the mac salad felt heavy and not very tasty.The Beyond Burger was very disappointing. Not sure how but the patty was slightly raw, and pink in the middle. I highly recommend if you order this to ask for your patty to be cooked a bit more! The fries were even more disappointing. They were definitely not fresh, and soggy. Not sure if they were even left under a warming lamp. I love fries so this ruined my meal. A few years ago when I ate meat I had the pork burger which I remember to be good, but not sure if thats the case anymore!

Next time you leave the island out of HNL swing by The Local for some local-style food. I usually grab something on my way to the airport but today I was rushing and did not have the time. Lucky for me, the TSA Pre-Check line was empty. The loco moco was huge and almost couldn't finish it. Decent for airport food. Take out and eat the rest on the flight back.

Decent brews and grub at the airport. A bit pricey but you do have a food court next door if you're on a budget. I detest QR code menus and ordering but the friendly waitress was able to take our order the old fashioned way. Decent Bloody Mary, burger and fries.

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about, and I'm not going to take time to read them. But coming in here to get a bite to eat and kill some time is hands-down better than the admirals club upstairs. It's clean, friendly service, decent food, no pressure to leave quickly, you can't go wrong. The lounge upstairs is filthy and in here is completely the opposite. This place is pretty much everything you would want in an airport restaurant. And it's open late. Not much else is open at HNL at night, so this is a great option if you're waiting for a redeye. Highly recommend. The service tonight was excellent. You can also pay from your phone, always a plus.

We always eat here when we come to the airport only because it's convenient place to sit and relax before our flight. I've tried practically everything on the menu and the loco moco is my favorite. Their nachos are pretty good and so are their burgers for an airport. Obviously airport prices but we always have great service here. Wish they had more options but Honolulu airport is NOT one of those nice airports that have great restaurant options.

I was there Sat night, Feb 15, 2025, before closing and spent $33.00 on 2 beers. I mistakenly left my tablet charging just opposite the bar. I realized it when boarding my plane; deboarded ran back there pounded on the door, no one would come to the door. Since then I have called and left messages at least 5 times and no one will pick up the phone or return my call. No aloha spirit or customer service. Will never go back except to complain in person. I need my tablet back and am happy to pay shipping.

A complete and utter RIP OFF airport restaurant. Loco Moco $23. Diet coke $10. Fries $10 etc... unbelievable, the bartender complete jack ass, we had asked him to change one of the 12 TV to Football and gave some smart answer about how he couldn't do it because blah blah blah. Service was friendly from the waitress we had but that was the only positive. If you can avoid this rip off restaurant so do.
