There are not many diners in Honolulu, or on entire the island of Oahu for that matter. But Zippy’s is about as close as you can get to the diner experience. This family restaurant chain is very popular in Honolulu, among locals and visitors alike. Here is a restaurant review of Zippy’s in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Zippy’s offers two locations in Honolulu, Hawaii. There is a Zippy’s located at 601 Kapahulu Avenue, and one at 1725 King Street. These family restaurants offer good, wholesome food at very reasonable prices. Some visitors to Honolulu compare Zippy’s to Denny’s, but remark that Zippy’s has better food and a friendlier atmosphere. Zippy’s offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.
Zippy’s breakfast menu is limited, but you will find all of the essentials. And a complete breakfast meal will only cost you between five and ten bucks. For lunch and dinner, Zippy’s selection is significantly wider, offering burgers, steaks, chicken, pork, fish, salads, and chili. Lunch and dinner generally runs between seven and fifteen bucks per person.
Zippy’s doesn’t offer many frills, but the food is consistently good, and it’s a great place to go when you are running low on cash. It is also a great place to dine among the locals. After your meal, you can treat yourself to a delicious dessert from Zippy’s in-house bakery.
I highly recommend the hot open roast beef sandwich with fries. The burgers are decent if you are eating on the fly. But I would generally stay away from the steaks. Save the steaks for a night at your favorite Honolulu steakhouse. Chili is quite popular in Hawaii, and Zippy’s is one place that does it exceptionally well, so you might want to try it here first.
The service is fine at Zippy’s. You won’t wait long for your meal, so if you have a full day planned, and you want a quick bite, Zippy’s might just be the way to go. The restaurant chain is very family friendly, and the more people you bring, the more money you will save for one of your more expensive meals on the island of Oahu.
The Kapahulu location is just outside of Waikiki and thus very convenient. The King Street location is great if you’re spending the day downtown. If you are in the mood for good, wholesome food in a comfortable, clean no-frills atmosphere at an entirely reasonable price, Zippy’s Restaurant is one of your best bets on the beautiful island of Oahu. Enjoy your meal at Zippy’s, Honolulu’s family restaurant. And if you are in the Wahiawa area, check out their location near Wahiawa General hospital.
