Hawaii is a place known for many things. the beaches. hula. sunburned tourists. and plate lunches. plate lunches are heavy. plate lunches are quick (usually). plate lunches are belly filling, home-cooked quality meals that everyone in Hawaii is familiar with. "2 scoops rice, mac salad, gravy all over, and followed by a kanak attack" is what enters my mind when thinking of our "plate lunch". there are TONS of places here to grab this type of meal. the long lasting ones from the "old days" are usually the best ones. after all.... if they've been there for years upon years, they must be doing something right. these days, i'm rarely in the Leeward area of Oahu. because of this, i have no idea what the eats are like on that side of the island. scouring YELP for some help, i stumbled upon Leeward Drive Inn. people raved about the noodles there, and other dishes as well. i thought, why not? a couple of friends and i decided to check it out. the outside is your typical take out window set up. there are no tables or chairs around, thus, no loitering! haha. they are strictly about getting you in and out of there. as you can see, their menu is EXTENSIVE. they have breakfast, lunch, dinner, burgers, noodles, ALL KINDS of food. there is literally something for everyone here. AND..... they have GREEN RIVER! and melon flavored Icee! this makes me wish i was on this side of the island more often...... browsing the menu, their Ultimate Mix caught my eye. i decided to share this with one of my friends, b/c it looked like a ton of food listed there. AND IT IS! there is rice, mac salad, noodles, fried chicken, kalbi, hamburger steak AND spare ribs. geez! everything was pretty good. my friend said that the noodles at Sato's is better, so i guess i'll have to try it there. i thought this place was pretty good considering the amount of food you get! wow! check them out if you happen to be in Waipahu.....
