Known forShrimp po' boyFried chicken with gravyMac and cheeseRibs
A tiny, intimate Southern comfort food spot in downtown Honolulu run by owner Cory from Georgia, who often works solo in the open kitchen. Get the shrimp po' boy, fried chicken with gravy, mac and cheese, or ribs—everything is made to order with real care and flavor. Fair warning: waits can stretch over an hour during busy times, and parking nearby is tricky.
