Rutt’s Hawaiian Cafe

This easygoing neighborhood stalwart has been serving inexpensive Hawaiian comfort fare since 1976. The decor is sparse, apart from splashes of tropical colors and a tiki hut bar, but the regulars are here for hearty fare, not frills. Start your day right with spam and eggs, French toast made with King’s Hawaiian sweet bread, or the signature Royale—an egg scramble with rice and your choice of protein. Come hungry for the plate lunch with options that include loco moco, kalua pork, katsu chicken and coconut shrimp—perfect with a cold beer. And don’t miss the shave ice.
