church luau would love to do!! They dont have them monthly do they?? How would you find out about one of these ? is their a church community website?

There is a topic over on TA about church luaus, Dusty was doing t a good job of keeping it up to date. The only way to find them it is keep checking the local paper every day.

Highway Inn - plate of pipikaula and ahi poke (from the Highway Inn counter next door) with rice.
Rainbow - half fried chicken or BBQ pork plate

We are going to go to several other places from Chow rec's.... WE just like for conversation and adventure go to a reatured DDD location.. hubby's got a few tshirts from places he has visited :O)

[scottca075]

You can choose two.

Do Rainbow Drive-in for plate lunch and Nico's Pier 38 for dinner.

I am not a luau fan other than a local church luau.

Hank's Haute Dogs is good, but not a place I would skip a more local (as in menu) place for.

Murphy's Bar and Grill is a great place for locals (residents), but is the kind of food you can get anywhere in CA or the US mainland.

A very early dinner since Nico's is only open until 5:00. I would pick them for lunch, furikake ahi or another of his specials with fish. Hank's because he's got some great special daily dogs. Highway Inn for local style food. I'm weary already of Poke Stop and the greasy eggplant fries.

are they open till 5 now? I have a friend who gets off work at 3, they were always just closing up as we got there, sometimes we were the last customers at 3:30/3:45. Either way, yes.. nicos for lunch, rainbow for dinner, too bad waiola moved all the way up kapahulu cause you could really do some damage to yourself with a rainbow plate lunch followed by a Waiola Shave Ice. I love rainbow, its responsible for at least 10% of the pounds I need to remove, but sometimes I wonder if mainland people really 'get it.' The rice, the mac salad, the gravy all over. Damn, I better stop before I end up there for breakfast... LOL (oh yes I have)

[palmtree38]

looks like Nico's for early dinner and Rainbow for lunch gets the votes... And with the comments looks like they are not so bad places to dine as not all DDD locations get a thumbs up from Chowhounders..
