Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen

$

Sometimes you wait an hour for a table here while patrons clamor for the banana pancakes topped with a thick macadamia-nut sauce. At lunch, the signature dish is a plate of pulehu (grilled) ribs. When the operation moved from a hole-in-the-wall to a larger space in 2010, and moved again in 2021, the line stayed just as long—but the food didn't change.
