Rainbow Drive-in, Honolulu

Ask a surfer where he’s going after an epic two-hour session, and the answer will be Rainbow’s. Opened in 1961, this classic take-out joint has a longstanding reputation for serving up hearty plate lunches that just have a way of perfectly topping off a sun-kissed day at the beach. Rainbow's is one of the best places to eat in Honolulu after a day of surf lessons or if you want a taste of hearty local food. Feel like something different? How about gravy-laden corned beef hash and an egg? Or a deviled egg sandwich? Rotating specials also keep the menu varied—local favorites like beef stew, roast pork, and shoyu chicken. If you’re a conventional to-go practitioner, a plain old hamburger is still just $2.
