DUKE'S WAIKIKI

DUKE'S WAIKIKI
OUTRIGGER WAIKIKI BEACH RESORT

HONOLULU, HI

Back in the day, I was a fixture at Duke's.  Probably was there five times a week.  Then came marriage, daughter and a home outside of Waikiki.  Have not been there for many years and had no interest in going back but a friend visiting wanted to meet up there.  Walked into the bar and not much had changed.  Still one of the best beach views in Waikiki and bustling with tourists and a few locals.  Only stayed for one drink and some Nachos but enjoyed the great service and view.  Nachos were good too!

My first visit to Mangiamo by 604 at the Navy Marine Golf Course near the Honolulu airport.  We ordered Salad, Pizza and Lasagna and believe it or not, I liked them all.  Salad was fresh with a nice dressing.  Pizza and Lasagna were good too.  Definitely will be back here.

Always enjoy Liko's in Hawaii Kai.  Love sitting on the outside lanai and enjoying the view.  Food and service here have always been excellent.  Poke is great and the Buffalo Chicken Wings are some of the best in Honolulu.  Burgers are good and the Fish Tacos are legit!
