    Famous for their Lobster roll, which I've yet to try, but I've indulged in their delectable offerings. From corn chowder and waffle fries to a tasty tuna melt and butter roll, each item has been majorly delicious, turning me into a repeat customer. The slushies, particularly the strawberry li hing and cookie butter boba tea, are also a must-try. While the airport location provides convenient seating right outside, the only drawback is the excess sunlight for my liking; otherwise, they would easily earn a 5-star rating.

    Jolene’s by the airport is your go-to spot for the best garlic shrimp on the island. While the location might seem a bit run-down, don’t be fooled. The food here is rock solid and worth every bite. Now, if you’re considering the one near Kailua, it’s a different story. It doesn’t quite live up to the airport location’s standards. Stick to the original spot for that unforgettable garlic shrimp experience.

    First time coming here and highly satisfied! Tried the Louisiana Roll and everything was perfectly seasoned. I love the Asian slaw touch which really makes this sandwich unique. Definitely coming back again.

    Nice little spot near the Airport. Outside dining and take away only. Food cooked to order so be patient. Normal price for lunch plate $12‐$22 is the average.

    Did somebody say "Lobster Fries"?!! Yup! A coworker hipped me to this place, only being a 4 minute walk from the office, so of course I HAD to check it out?! They've got lobster...you name it lol coming in at $20 + $1 for the waffle fry upgrade (a no brainer imo) I walked as fast as I could to get back to the office with them. A pretty hefty serving, they honestly did not skimp on the lobster AT ALL. I was actually pleasantly surprised half way through my plate with how much lobster there really was! I misjudged and ended up eating the fries faster than the lobster topping, or was that just because I was savoring the lobster? Omg, it was good! Came with lemon slices which just put it over the top. Definitely coming back for the lobster fries but more importantly to try other stuff on the menu! While I was patiently waiting for my order, I was going through the photos on here of their other menu items. Everything else, that didn't have lobster in it, appeared to be a lot easier on the pocket but I get it, it's lobster and I don't think it's some garbage lobster either but the real, fresh, lobster deal and after having it, I'm not ashamed to say I'll pay $21 again for it lol Okay back to what I was saying...other stuff on the menu...that burger?!! DAMN that looks hella good!! And I think like $7 or $10? That's what I'm trying next but I've already put the word out on the block about those damn lobster fries and I think I've already got three other people from the office that were drooling over them coming with me for the next visit lol They've got like 3x picnic tables there that you can sit at but this appears to be more of a grab and go type of place.

    We had the Brisket Moco plate and the Smoked Pork Moco, both were amazing. Do your yourself a favor and search this place out if you are in the area!

    An unexpected cool, hip, Absolutely phenomenal out of this world Place that you would not expect in the middle of a warehouse district. It's right next to the airport and is not to be missed. You will be disappointed if you do.

    The Butter burger rocks and if you're eating Keto they will put it on a plate with shredded lettuce or do a lettuce wrap. My secret is to ask for extra Asian pickles because they hit the spot and a side salad and then my ketotastic journey is complete for the day! Thank you for making me an awesome lunch multiple times! You can add and change anything you want and the charges are not that much extra.

    This place is amazing. Service and food delivery were super fast and friendly. The Fried Fish sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. So juicy and crispy! Birra Wontons also crispy and fun. The brisket plate is a ton of food and so tender.

    The food is great! The outside seating can get pretty hot. No inside seating. They do have outdoor fans and a covering but it's clear so the sun bangs down awful sometimes. For some reason it smelt like a field of cows around the area, which kinda killed my appetite. You have to go before or after the lunch rush because it can get really crowded. I would suggest they installing some mist devices to cool down the eating area more.

    Stopped by to pick up a lobster roll for another. Decided to get a prime rib melt for myself. Pre-ordering by phone was relatively easy. Unfortunately, though I was ten minutes away I was put on hold long enough for me to drive over and park. Further delayed while waiting in car when I got a return call from order taker wanting to confirm that I indeed wanted to order at the airport location. No problem. Even though I was already on property when I got that call. Service was quick. Order to go was ready in no time. What can I say about the food? Still not a fan of their shredded lobster salad roll. The menu item said "butter lobster roll" but it is actually a cold mayo based salad on buttered roll. I did really enjoy the prime rib melt, over two meals. That one is quite substantial. Parking is easy in their lot. Looking forward to returning and trying other onolicious sounding items. Will just allow more time to call in take out order.

    The butter lobster sandwichs is soooooo ONO. It is now my favorite spot. Gotta get my fix at least 2x a month. Fast service and friendly.
