Fodor's Review:
When you're sightseeing between Hanauma Bay and Makapu'u, the food pickings are slim. But every day, 365 days a year, there's Keneke's in Waimanalo town. It's the home of plate lunch, shave ice and scriptural graffiti (Keneke -- Keith Ward, the burly, weight-lifting, second-generation owner of the place -- is born again). The food is diet-busting, piled high, and mostly pretty good, particularly the Asian-style barbecue (including teri chicken or beef and Korean kalbi), Puerto Rican guisantes (pork and peas in tomato gravy), and Filipino adobo (piquant pork stew). If you want a treat, try the shave ice with ice cream.

Fantastic Food (served with a glare)
Posted by Clapril from Texas on 9/15/07
We read about Keneke's in Fodor's. It is an unassuming food stand next to 7-11 in Kailua. We ordered Kalua Pig sandwiches and they were really fantastic. Our only gripe was the counter girl who was horrifically rude. Besides her surly demeanor, she was mocking and snide when answering a question about which sandwich was her favorite. The thing is, you probably won't eat at Keneke's (the only seating is outside and reminiscent of a rest stop picnic area) so you only have to deal with the rude help when you're ordering your food. Overall, fantastic plate lunch. Worth the stop if you're in the area.
