    For the last decade, I dreamt of Boots & Kimo's macadamia nut sauce pancakes. I visited B&K 11 years ago when they were at a smaller one-off plaza. Back then, I remember waiting 1.5 hrs but it was totally worth it. So after a decade and change, here I was reliving my dream. B&K had moved to a larger spot and had a line in front even at 8am opening. But oh boy were the pancakes just as I remembered them. This time, we had French Toast with the macadamia nut sauce as well and it was simply heavenly. The toast was thick and soft and went perfectly with the sauce. The banana pancakes were also fluffy. My 3 kids gobbled them up like there was no tomorrow. We also had an omelette rice which was also lovely. The only blemish of the day was that the interior was a weird mixture of sports jerseys (which I think was there 11 years ago but not as prominent) and the place smelled a bit funky. I couldn't also help feel that they were trying to shuttle through as many customers as possible but that's understandable given their popularity. B&K is a true gem of Oahu. One must pay a visit to this sacred location.

    Highly overrated! If you want to pay double the price for mediocre breakfast, this is where you would go, and there’s always an insane wait. We ordered a pretty good spread including the French toast with mac sauce, shrimp omelette, some basic breakfast items, and pancakes. It’s all just so greasy and bland, I don’t realize what all the hype is about. Once you get seated, you notice the decorations are outdated and very minimal. Uncomfortable seats, not a lot of room for wheelchair seating either. Overall just not a great experience, and we tried a few times to really enjoy it.

    Their pancakes are delicious and the service was great. I visited in April ‘23. They were short staffed, so before I was able to get into the restaurant, I had to look through the menu posted on the window and put in my order with a person. After that, they seated me quickly and my order was out pretty quickly, too. I had blueberry pancakes (half order) with macadamia nut sauce and a side of pineapple spears. Pancakes were delicious - especially the sauce!!! Half order was more than enough for me. In fact, I couldn’t finish it. This was my breakfast stop before the beach, so the kind lady that served me was so kind to pack my left-overs so I can eat them at the beach later and give me some extra macadamia sauce.

    The hype is worth it. The menus are posted on the wndows and you order with staff at the front door before you go inside. Once inside, you pay for the meal (including tip) before they seat you. I arrived at 11:50am on a Thursday, paid, got seated, and had my food and drink at 11:55. I was shocked. Very efficient. I got a short stack of banana pancakes (2 huge plate size pancakes) covered in the macadamia sauce. Just wow. I'm shook. Absolutely light, not to sweet, and very satisfying. My order with a water to drink was $19.21 including tax (tip extra). I would definitely come here again and try other dishes too. There is a Round Table Pizza and a Yamas Mediterranean restaurant in this same small shopping plaza too.

    My meal was super delicious 😋 Best brunch I had in a long while. The French Toast is AMAZINGLY good! I can't believe I ate the entire serving. I will be visiting again.

    The pancakes were sooooooooooo so so so so good! You have to get pancakes at least to try because they are unreal. We also got a mahi plate, BLT and omelette which were all excellent as well and had blueberry pancakes to share :)

    A local breakfast place. Had the macadamia pancakes in a stack of three and the macadamia sauce was really great, but because it was so rich and sweet, I struggled to finish my pancakes towards the end. Definitely share the pancakes if you come in a group and order other stuff to try!

    Amazing breakfast 😋 This place is a must splurge. There is a line for a reason. But trust me it is worth the wait. Get there early and enjoy the wonderful tastes.

    We had to wait outside for someone to take our order first, before being seated at our table. It was odd, but they were trying out a new method of seating/ordering. The food was delicious! We got the Hawaiian spicy chicken wings and macaroni salad, which was amazing. As we were eating we noticed everyone ordering the Macadamia Nut pancakes, so of course we had to order it to-go! We sat in our car and tried it. Needless to say, we ate the entire thing! It was the best pancakes we’ve ever eaten!

    My entire family enjoyed the place and food, wish we could have eaten even more! For breakfast we ordered blueberry pancakes, the galbi, puleho ribs, corned beef hash, and a hamburger. Everything tasted amazing and just the right portion. Our host was incredibly kind and charming thank you to her as well. Please give this place a try!!

    The food was delicious. Also, the restaurant was full, so probably you will need to wait 5-10 min on a queue till you get in. The staff was friendly.
