Popular tourist spot, but was unfortunately let down. Feel rude giving it only 2 stars but man…the food was bland. Could find an equal or better loco moco anywhere that sells them. Canned gravy. Chili dog was alright.

Very nice and must visit restaurant in Oahu. I love their loco moco. It was a huge plate for a small budget. It’s the perfect way to start your day and have a beautiful day on the island.

First place to eat after landing on the island. The food never disappoints. Chilli moco plate was delicious!!! Staff was friendly as usual. My sister had the pork cutlet, that was awesome too!

Everyone seemed to recommend this spot and it definitely was worth the visit! At Rainbows we ordered at the counter and brought it over to outdoor seating which seemed to always be full but somehow there always will be space for you. We ordered the Loco Moco Plate, Mixed Plate (had beef, crispy chicken-the shoyu was sold out, and mahi mahi), Bbq Pork Plate, and the Mahi Mahi Plate.

Foodie heaven in Hawaii, Rainbow Drive-In is where the locals go to enjoy. 62 years of exceptional food n service, it is regularly visited by celebrity food bloggers. We had a satisfying, delicious, very large serving of Boneless Chicken with Gravy – at the most reasonable charges, sitting outdoors chatting with friendly table mates… An icon of Waikiki, an excellent recommendation from our dear friend, Fleur Easily the best cheap eat you’ll find in Hawaii. PS: They even have their own branded merchandise store – right in the car park.

A staple restaurant among locals and a must try for visitors. They offer pretty much all the local dishes you could ask for and then some. Breakfast lunch dinner and desserts. A decent amount of parking and seating available at this location. Super easy to get to and walking distance from the zoo and Waikiki.

My friends and I just landed in Hawaii and couldn’t check in to the hotel yet. So we went here cause it was highly recommended and very close to our hotel. It was our first meal in Hawaii and it didn’t disappoint!

Tried Rainbow drive in today for breakfast and left very satisfied. Food was reasonably priced, good portions, was able to quickly order and receive my food and had great service. I got the BBQ beef with 2 eggs and rice. The beef was tender and savory and the eggs and rice were perfectly cooked. Some of you may find it odd that it is paired with rice for breakfast but everything goes great together and the rice won’t make you feel as bloated as other breakfast items.
