Great food, super nice staff, reasonable prices; and the place is full of nostalgic items! Cozy ambience.

Very cool restaurant with an incredible selection of memorabilia. Food was good. We did the happy hour beer and maitai. The service was excellent and she talked with us and had a great conversation. Definitely feels like a good neighborly spot. I would recommend.

Great Atmosphere! Great food, the burger is juicy and has tremendous flavor. Prices are like all of Hawaii, but the food and relaxed atmosphere is well worth it. Sorry no food pictures (too hungry)but we had the bacon burger, the Lassi, Laverne and Shirley and the Magnum. Oh and dont forget the dessert, we had the King Kong Banana split and an Adult Milkshake.

Want good old fashion Diner food, this is a fine place for that. We ordered a thick chocolate shake, chili cheese dog w/onions, onion rings & BBQ pork sandwich with fries 👍👍 Excellent service, easy social distancing dine in seating. I Love the nostalgic videos that play old music and TV shows. They also sell memorabilia. This is a walk up diner. No direct parking. Plenty of locals taking home orders.

Great place to eat... from the moment you walk in it is an experience. Food is amazing!! Staff is top notch!

Great idea, the food was pretty lousey. The staff were amazing. Great for the atmosphere. Dont get the fish basket.

Coke themed classic diner combined with a memorabilia. Personable staff and reasonable prices for Waikiki. Tatertot Nachos were great. Highly recommend for mid afternoon snack or relaxed lunch.

Good food, fun kitsch. It is still open, you need to wear your mask when not eating/drinking, but that is HA rules. Pulled pork sandwiches and onion rings were delicious.

This place is INCREDIBLE! It was so good, we came on two different days for dinner. This themed diner is super entertaining. The servers are friendly and accommodating. The food is fantastic. Get the fries! This was probably the best food we had during our whole week-long trip, and we ate at restaurants costing much more! So good!

Step back in time and enjoy the extreme memorabilia! If You love Rock, the 50s 60s 70s & 80s this place is AWESOME! Come for the fun and enjoy the reasonably priced food. Skip the lines in Waikiki and slip into the Vintage Dream of simpler times. This place is a gem hiding in plain view. Id give it 10 stars if I could. For a casual lunch, immaculate diner and Aloha Service it doesnt get any better than this. Not corporate just cool. 😎

Great atmosphere for a restaurant. You walk into a 50/60s themed diner. The diners personality is very warm and inviting. The food was great too! I loved the fun names and hospitality of the staff. Got my order right down to a T! I would recommend if youre looking for a nice sit down restaurant that is niche to the area!

The atmosphere was amazing. The people that work here are super friendly. If you are a lover of the 60-80s its a must. The Hula bopper burger is a muat try. The fries are great too.

Great food! awesome burger, wings, and brownie fudge sundae!! Def recommend

Super friendly staff. Nostalgic place with great food.

Drink specials daily, including the $5 Mai Tai. Super fun atmosphere, playing old music videos, and they have a huge selection of vintage finds for sale, Coca-Cola, Elvis memorabilia, comic books, I Love Lucy, old Barbies, Hawaii- 5 0, autographed photos, and just so much more. Great for gift shopping too. You can play pinball on a Wizard of Oz machine, and classic Pac Man and Donkey Kong.

Fun little place with bar and grill food. Lots of Hollywood lovelies.

Great 1950-1960 comfort food. I had the chili dog, bacon cheese burger, chili and chocolate milk shake. The fact I ate essentially two full meals in one sitting should tell you the food is good! The watress/owner? was very nice and accommodating as we had a large party of 9. The place was busy but everything came out perfectly!

Staying at the holiday inn express down the street. Walked down. Great food. Great memorabilia. A must stop.

Delicious food. The staff was so sweet and it wasnt too busy.

Atmosphere A+, The people who work there A+, and the milkshakes A++, I will be going back for a full meal ASAP!

Outstanding vibe. Great retro diner. The food and service was great. Will definitely come back.

American food, pizza was delicious and happy hour drinks, can buy vintage old stuff just so cool !

Probably the best diner Ive been to. Its a plus with all the Elvis memorabilia. Would recommend!

Had the Big Bopper Bacon cheeseburger with cheddar and pineapple!Great burger! Best I’ve had in Hawaii this far.Great environment and memorabilia!

Great service and the food are a Classic. The place really honored Elvis Presley and all the coca cola fans this is the place to find all your items.

How do you mess up grilled cheese? How do you make a flavorless burger where the iceberg lettuce shines? Is it hard to cook a precooked prebreaded frozen cod? All this and more at Rock Island Cafe. Business is booming so much that all the decor is for sale. I’m giving it two stars because I think they just need to rethink the execution of the food for another 10 minutes and it would be worlds better. Fresh meat, frozen cod you batter then fry and hell, maybe even cooking your grilled cheese until you can’t see the Kraft singles layers would have helped. McDonald’s up the street would have been more enjoyable.

Best service in Oahu! Amazing fresh food with lots of options to choose from. Best of all though is the outstanding staff who are always fun and friendly!

Great food fun environment for the whole family

This is an Americana memorabilia gem. Its decor covers all manner of popular television, movie, and pop culture flavors primarily from the 50s - 70s but also beyond on both directions. There is a loop of classic TV theme songs and musical clips from movies (Elvis is featured prominently). Quite entertaining.Happy hour was nice with $5 tropical drinks and $3 drafts. We had an assortment of diner fried classics and they were very good.All in all, a super fun experience!

Awesome diner authentic nostalgia great food and dessert banana splut rocked.

Had a great dinner here last night. The place is set up like a vintage 50s diner full of elvis memorabilia, old arcade games and other vintage items. Its a great place to eat as you get to look at all the decor whilst you do so. The food is pretty great too, myself and my girlfriend got a milkshake each (as you would in a diner), with a chili cheese dog, a Hula burger and a side of fries for main. The milkshakes are amazing and the bonus was that she made so much, we got the extra so basically a second drink free. The chili dog and burger were great, just found them to be a little in the small side. The fires however were quite large, deffinately able to share between 2. Great experience, great staff/owners, great food. Highly recommend this place.

I love this place! They hung in there during the pandemic, the people who work there are all wonderfully friendly and nice oh, and the hot dogs are great! The fries are pretty durn good too!

I absolutely love this place, been coming here for years! The people working are fabulous and theres so many things to look at. The food is quick and delicious. One of my favorite parts is all the memorabilia that they have all along the walls. Definitely would recommend this place to others especially if you like retro stuff.

Memorabilia was cool, but the food was awful. The red onions tasted stale on my salad, and they only had spring mix and a few tomatoes. No romaine or iceberg lettuce… and only ranch dressing, no other options. Then they ran out of shrimp. Nachos were bad too.Last but not least, we tried the chocolate milkshake, which was not good either.

A great place to stop at to enjoy music, drinks and good food. Fun atmosphere and great staff. Make it a daily stop for mai-tai’s and snack or lunch/dinner. Highly recommend their new fish sandwich, was excellent!

Not as many traditional diner items as others. Not a lot of chicken options. Nachos were good. Pizza was not. The dough was hard and very bread like, the sauce tasted like it was straight from a can and unseasoned and the cheese tasted like plastic. The atmosphere was nice and fun but that was it. Very hard to get to when trying to park your own car. Its a great place for a drink and photo ops but Id rather eat somewhere else

I came here with two other people. Avoid the seafood basket, for $16.99 you receive 3 shrimp and two frozen fish sticks. Then after sitting down with my party, I learned that I was the only one who was asked and promoted on the card reader to leave a tip. Nobody else was asked too. Which seems very strange to me and scammy. Would avoid this place… walk in for the memorabilia which is neat, but do not buy the food.

This is a hidden gem in Honolulu! They serve all kinds of diner fare, from burgers to pizza to malts and shakes. The Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich that I ordered was outstanding. If youre into 50s decor, memorabilia or nostalgia in general, this is the place for you!

Such a neat little place!! Music, memorabilia, most of the staff is awesome! The menu is typical 50s diner. The food is pretty good, nothing to gush over, but for the area the price is about average.Def stop by, whether to eat, have ice cream or just browse!

Ordered a few things ended up spending about $80 for 3 people. The fried mac and cheese was literally just salt. Was so salty i couldnt eat. Ordered the bbq pork nachos with cheese and the chips were actually stale and not edible. The burger was ok the onion rings has a weird taste. Overall pretty upset with how much it was and the quality was bad.

Tasty food at a reasonable price. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent.

Loved this place. Highly recommend it if youre looking for diner type food in Waikiki. The service was also excellent.

Great food. Great 50s atmosphere. We were told the decorations always change because everything you see is for sale. They have happy hour with discounted drinks.

A qaint small rock and roll themed diner close to many key Hotels, shops and the beach. The menu is simple with burgers, hotdogs, chips and other comfort food. The diner also has a shop selling cool mementos for fair prices. You will be well cared for by keen service.

Food was decent for the price. Very old timey

Great spot for a quick drink and some food! Check it out.

The staff here is absolutely amazing, so friendly, great food, great price. So much to look at, everything is 50 style, and all there collectibles are for sale. Very reasonable. If in Hawaii it’s a must stop

Would you like a side of chicken with that lettuce? This place has great atmosphere however the food is overpriced and unappetizing. A couple bites in and both my wife and I felt sick to our stomaches. In the Ariel fried shrimp sandwich, they left the tails on the shrimp which had this been served to a kid would be a big no-no. Avoid this place for food at all costs, you may purchase their memorabilia but thats also over priced.

Very friendly. We love this place. If we visit Hawaii again, it will be a must stop. The ice cream is awesome!

Walked into this Cafe and was immediately met with happy and friendly staff. Love the old vintage theme, and food is absolutely delicious. I got the chicken and fries, while my girlfriend got the burger and onion rings. Absolutely worth it!

Pros - The staff was friendly, we enjoyed the old diner style decor, and they have a decent happy hour here until 6PM ($5 Mai Tais!). Covid protocols were followed. Its a quick walk from the Hilton or Hale Koa.Cons - The food left much to be desired, especially for the price. To start, we were given the wrong appetizer (mozzarella sticks instead of mac & cheese bites) which were obviously frozen. The chicken sandwich came with mayo instead of ranch as stated on the menu, and the pulled pork sandwich wasnt great. For very standard, fried, frozen food... Its pricey (especially considering that you have to pay extra to add fries with your sandwich). The counter service concept is a slight inconvenience, and its strange to pay up front & tip before your food arrives.Id skip this restaurant on your vacation, unless youre just in it for the diner-style vibes.

A classic 50s themed Cafe that sells many of the classic items on display

The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our lunch here. There was a lot of history on the walls and we played trivia pursuit at the table while we waited for our food. There are trivia pursuit cards at every table. Theres a good variety on the menu. You wont be disappointed.

Awesome food and great service!!!!!

Great food Great service, will definitely come back!!!!

This is a very interesting and nostalgic cafe to visit .... if you are into movie memorabilia etc it is definitely worth a visit . The setting is very 50s and the food is ok .

Great fries, over priced food, moody waitress, cute decor.

What an amazing experience!!!! Amazing service and amazing food. Love the atmosphere there. Highly recommend this place.

Great service, nice people but the fish was not worth the money. I wouldnt feed it to my dog. It was dry and burnt. Nope dont waste your money...

A fantastic place to eat! As a European tourist, I was welcomed there with big smiles and terrific service

Cool little place. Lots to see or buy. Food was good definitely warm in the restaurant with no AC

Asome food and serves!!

Awesome 50s 60s era cafe. Been going for 46 years - just great. Awesome service. Great malt shakes. Has just moved location back in February but still has the same great atmosphere.

Waited patiently for them to open. One sign says 11, the other 1130. 1138 and still nothing. No answer from their phone. Ill spend my money elsewhere, at a place capable of opening on time.

Very good Mai Tai drink! Delicious food. Great decor!! Very nice staff!

Coolest vintage little diner. Has all sorts of memorabilia. Food was good as well.

Great service from the friendly staff. Food was okay, but I thought it was overpriced for what you got. Still, not a bad place to go thats off the beaten path!

Food was pretty bad. Ambiance was cool, though.

Food was nice, the cafe is filled with alot of memorabilia very reasonably priced.

Delicious American rock diner food! Fun atmosphere also. The ladies running the show were very friendly and playful with the kids.

Fun place, good prices, great tasting food

Best milkshake, burger and onion rings we’ve ever had! Friendly staff and fun vibes. Highly recommend for your guilty pleasure fix in Waikiki!

Fun little place off the beaten path. Excellent food and the staff was super friendly

This is one of my favorite places in Honolulu. I love the Kahlua pork nachos. Such a fun atmosphere.

A hidden gem. Flashback in time. Love the 50’s & other memorabilia which are available for purchase. I had the James Bond pizza which had a nice crisp base and yummy toppings.

Food ok. Over priced. Not good beer. Hot inside restaurant

Food and service excellent. Atmosphere fun with music and TVs showing nostalgic shows from my childhood. My husband was extremely happy with his milkshake. Enjoyed the mai tai.

Older Lady was mean looking. Milkshake was delicious but everything a bit too pricy for the amount of food. My burger was good . And banana split was alright.

I do recommend going the food was delicious

It Is A Retro Diner-Museum-Antique Shop. Love It. Great Food And Shakes! Great Happy Hour! Wonderful Employees!

Love this place so classy

Had their chocolate milkshakes about 6 years ago and my family and I still think about it to this day, can’t wait to go back and have one

Awesome retro themed diner with great burgers

A great local hang out with super vibes and welcoming service. The best fried chicken sandwich and happy hour beer on tap. We make it a point to go weekly and feel like part of the family.

Nice place for a small snack. Worth a visit just see all the memoborllia.

Rock Island is a really cute diner and 50s experience where all the memorabilia decorations are for sale. Good food and great service

Really good Food, and service was Awesome!

Didnt try the food. Went in to buy some memorabilia. DO NOT BUY THE AUTOGRAPHS ! They are photographic copies of originals. What a scam.

Great Elvis Collector items !

Oh my goodness craving burgers and Rock Island Cafe is the place to hit the spot. Fast service and what a great Bacon Cheeseburger. Would of took a picture but it smelt so good I just gobbled it right up. Flo that you so much for the great service. You will see us again for sure. We will be your regulars 🤩

Five stars all around!

Just what I was looking for. Love my Japanese food which is everywhere here. But felt like a proper burger and fries. Rock Island Cafe was right on the money.

Food was over cooked over priced

The shop next door is good to buy gifts

Great food, fun to visit and see all the nostalgic items. Like a blast from the past.

Amazingly, friendly service. Fun and exciting environment. So much to see and buy. I unfortunately didnt eat here so I cant tell you how good the food was but it smelled great. Cheapest beers I found. Just enjoyed a little shopping and a few beers.

Love this spot! Definitely worth going!

Great service and a smile with that 50s vibe

Love the atmosphere and the folks who work there! (And the entertainment! And the items for sale!)Some of the more esoteric items (like salad?) are so-so, but the Hot Dogs (for one!) are NO KA OI!!!

This is such a cool diner, we didnt find anything else quite like it around waikiki, and would definitely reccomend people to visit this old school decorated place, it is a very pleasing atmosphere, with neon lights all over the place and some arcade games which are still playable. Portion of food is not huge like other restaurants around but is still satisfying.
