    I really wanted to like this place! After an amazing day lounging at the beaches on the North Shore, all I wanted after the drive was a quick dinner before going to sleep. After 4 awesome days staying at the Hilton Waikiki, I thought I'd give this place a try since I passed it up every time I used the elevator. Kind of wish I hadn't. It was late at night so I ordered the Chicken & Waffles platter. The waffle wasn't crispy at all. I'm not trying to exaggerate, but it tasted very similar to those frozen Egg-o waffles from your childhood. The chicken was crispy but very bland in flavor. I'd never had jalapeños on any chicken and waffles platter but they had them here. I personally didn't think that it was a good combination, especially after you pour the syrup over your waffle. Additionally, I ordered the mac and cheese as a separate a la carte order. The portion was plentiful but probably one of the most bland mac and cheeses I've ever had. I didn't end up eating most of my food. I found the restaurant setting to be a bit odd, considering its location close to the beach. The vibe was more old school, big city diner. Although the food wasn't quite good, luckily the host who seated us and our server both were very friendly. My suggestion to those staying at the hotel, take advantage of the other restaurants that are within walking distance.

    We were in Waikiki so we decided to try this place again, our previous visits put this place as a glorified coffee shop. We walked in for an early dinner and decided to have pupus, drinks, and some entrees. The service was excellent, and the pupus took the thought of a glorified coffee shop away, we had the Hawaiian inspired Vietnamese roll, pan asian chicken wings, coconut tempura prawns, and mini ahi poke tacos, all which were excellent! The chicken fried steak was excellent too, clean-not oily or fatty. We would definitely go back for pupus and drinks

    OF YOU ARE LOCAL, EXPECT TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY Visited on the 25th for my husbands birthday. Hostess was nice, we were 20 mins late for our reservations (majah rajah same night and there was no parking) she found us open seating and told us our server will be right with us. The table behind us arrived shortly after (tourist) with the same server, they received their bread and water, we sat and waited, when we did get our drinks there wasn't even ice in it. We got our bread after we got our appetizers. We ordered about 5 minutes after the table behind us and got our food when they were already leaving. Had to yell out to our waitress for take out plates cause she was so focused on serving everyone but us. When we got our check we waited about 15 mins for it to be picked up. Noone came. Tried to take it to who ever was at the register and was told to be seated our server has to complete it, okay understandable, waited another 10mins.. Okay, we validated, it's a 3 hour limit for $3 over 3 hours it's automatically $23 well we didn't take our time to eat cause by the time we got our food we were starving and if we didn't talk to the front desk, we would have had to pay $23. That just goes to show that just because we are young and local, we get treated differently. Will NOT be returning again. Will be finding a new restaurant to go to with our friends. 2 stars was for the calamari appetizer cause that's my favorite.

    You won't be disappointed! I got the Mac Attack w/ cinnamon and vanilla and it was delicious with every bite. My gf was happy to see the waffles are legit waffles (crispy with generous amounts of topping) not the pancake-waffle hybrid they have at other places in the area. Our server Keebong was very attentive and in no way did I feel like I wasn't being helped. The prices is comparable to other places in Waikiki and you get a great meal in an awesome atmosphere. Will definitely come back again!

    Found this place after yelping breakfast joints. I'm 8 months pregnant and totally craving pancakes for dinner. Lol We were staying at a hotel in Waikiki and found that this was walking distance, inside the Waikiki Hilton. The restaurant is tucked away in the corner of the main lobby area. Our server was friendly Food: we ordered a $9 parfait (not pictured). It was ok. Vanilla yogurt, fruit, and granola layered in a tall glass. Not spectacular, and overpriced. We also ordered a regular stack ($14) of bananas foster pancakes. I wish I could give this place 10 stars for the pancakes alone! The man vs food challenge was too daunting, even for my pregnant self. Lol. The regular stack comes with three 8-in pancakes smothered in your choice of toppings. Ours was layered with cooked bananas, candied walnuts, and chocolate ganache. We could only finish HALF. I can't imagine how large the man vs food portion is.

    You definitely get what you pay for here! Food was on point. Love their Chicken & Waffles. Yummy yummy to my tummy...haha. This place is a must if you are in the Waikiki area. I made a reservation through Open Table, but didn't need one. We arrived earlier than our reservation, and was promptly escorted to a table with a lovely waterfall view. The waitress was super nice and attentive. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. We will definitely visit again!

    my girlfriend and i came here late (3am) to take our friend out for his birthday. I've been here before a few years back and it wasnt memorable. Sadly, It was the same this time too. I ordered the 1/2 pound angus burger medium, and wanted avocado. My burger came out well, with no avocado, and really brown and droopy lettuce, kind of like when you have lettuce in the fridge thats going bad, and you peel that outside layer...yeah. The burger had no sauce, which i was a little sad to see (im a sauce person!) i asked our sever for better quality lettuce and the avocado that was missing. She delivered on the fresher lettuce, but the avocado was really brown and just not appealing. I cant put 100% of the blame on the server for what the kitchen does, but i work in a restaurant and i wouldnt send out something of that quality. The server we had wasnt rude, but wasnt exactly friendly. No greeting and didnt introduce herself as our server. Didnt say much of anything really I felt like i paid too much for what i got. Overall i wasnt impressed and probably wont be returning again any time soon if at all.

    Love this spot! Great ambience, bar, cuisine/chef! I really enjoy the Mac-cāno cocktail as well as the Vietnamese rolls & the tomato soup. The place is open 24 hours and serves alcohol for 22 of em! That's service. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely check this place out! Did I mention the chef was on Chopped?!

    Pink extra delicious. The frozen mojito was really good, their omelettes were good I like to Local omelet with rice. the macaroni and cheese with chicken and bacon was really good but very expensive. It's expensive but really solid place and it's open all day. The drinks were only about nine dollars

    I've been here a few times before but haven't come back in a while. But we came here last night to celebrate my birthday and i must say that this place has gone down the toilet a bit. :T Easy to get a reservation. Parking of course is a stinker for Waikiki, but if there is parking available, just do valet parking at prince kuhio; its only $3 + tip with validation which is super cheap compared to other parking places in Waikiki. Drinks: Pretty good. They have a promo that if you check into yelp, you get half off of a Mac-cano Eruption cocktail; which is HUGE. Definitely should be shared with someone else, unless you have that as your one drink for the night. It was $18 normally. 0.0 Everybody's drinks were good except two: The frozen mo'o, which sounded like a delicious blended version of a mojito, tasted more like a vegie drink and was overpowered by the mint. So uh, if you want your daily dose of vegies, there you go. Be warned: their scotch is REALLY expensive. Of course its waikiki so prices are jacked up but its by ALOT. a small glass of scotch that should normally have costed $8 was $18. Most expensive that we've come by so far. Id say just stick with the cocktails. Food: They have a buffet every Fri and Sat night from 5-9p. Friend had the buffet and wished he hadn't. It wasnt worth $32.99. I used to love their mac and cheese but it was..mushier. Maybe it was just this instance or cook but eh...:T Everyone else said their food was ok but theyve had better. Service: Our waitress was super sweet. Our only problem that we had with the staff was actually with their supervisor. She came up to our table and told us that we'd need to leave in 30 minutes because two big parties were coming in. Unless we wanted to squish with them. Now, we were a little thrown off guard but didnt mind much. The only thing that ticked us off was the way she approached us and the way she had said it. We were basically kicked out. Based on that service from their own supervisor, I'd rather take my party and $400 check somewhere else. I'm sure we wouldve gotten a lot more.

    Just got their ahi salad,turkey BLT,and Cesar salad with chicken . The ahi salad was soooo good and it came with a yuzu wasabi vinigerette that was so darn tasty!!! The BLT was also so good and the creamy avocado complimented the bacon so well!!!! I've never eaten here before but I'll be going back much more often!!!

    From the reviews here on Yelp I was expecting a 24/7 dive restaurant that served great pancakes. I was surprised to find that it is located within the Hilton Waikiki and is a swanky bar! Service was great at 8am even with a large breakfast crowd. My bloody mary was excellent and I was asked by the bartender "how spicy would you like it?" which is something that rarely happens and the answer was "as spicy as you can make it!" I had a Mac Attack with the Elvis topping (banana, peanut butter, and bacon) and it was quite a meal! The combination of a spicy bloody mary and sweet pancakes followed up by the massive amount of foods was a great experience. It was a lot of delicious food for fairly decent Waikiki prices. If you are near the zoo I would recommend Mac 24/7 for breakfast. Just be prepared for a beach run after!

  • Eric S.

    Mac attack was vey good and a great value (for Waikiki) at $16. It was much better than Eggs N Things and we didn't have to wait in line for 45 mins. Pineapple mimosa was decent but probably not worth the $10 price point: take champagne, add pineapple juice... Same thing as here: no frills. Highly recommend making a reservation though, bc other people had to wait on a table!

    My boyfriend , his family and I all went here for our last dinner in Waikiki so we were very excited. We read reviews I got the yelp deal for the Volcano drink and it was strong but a good drink. We ordered several appetizers for the table including the wings, the short rib rolls and the ahi tuna. All were great just expensive for the amount we received. We had spotty service from our waitress so it took a while to get refills and get our dinner orders in. It actually took a long time for the entrees to come out which was disappointing. I had the Caesar salad with blackened ahi which was terribly disappointed. The tuna was covered in seasoning and wasn't "blackened". The salad was also drenched in dressing. We also had the ribeye that my brother in law loved, fish and chips that was tasty, the beet salad, and the seafood/chicken combo platter. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food so we have to give it three stars. With better service this place would get a 4 star rating. The cheap valet was also clutch once we headed home.

    Came in with the family (includes 6 year old in tow) on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly (we had reservations) and got our menus right away. Waitress came asking if we wanted drinks first so we ordered those. They came quickly. The menu didn't have anything in the way of sides and the keiki menu basically had starch and meat. No greens and no fruit and no "kiddie" drinks. The menu was semi-interesting and we ended up ordering pancakes and a side of veggies (not on menu) for the young one, a loco-moco (my first) and country-fried steak. Country-fried steak was a hit! Good sized portion and tasty (I was told). Pancakes were also good but veggies were so-so (coming from the little one) as she didn't like the mix very much (too many onions). I tried the veggies and thought they were tasty. The loco-moco was a bomb. As in disaster. This is how the loco moco came. There were 3 eggs on top that were prepared over-easy and they sat atop a hamburger patty and the rice held up the bottom end. There was gravy that sat outside the fringe of the patty. The eggs were prepared OK. Nothing stood out. Didn't seem to have had any sort of spices (including salt) added to them. One of the eggs were on the well-done side so very little yolk ran out from it. The hamburger patty was dry, a bit charred, which wouldn't have been so bad had it tasted like ANYTHING other than plain... meat. It didn't taste like it had been seasoned at all. And then there was the rice. Just plain white rice with some gravy soaked in from the sides. The tastiest part of the dish was the gravy but unfortunately, there wasn't enough of it. I would have asked for more gravy had the waitress returned to check on us but she never did until it was time to leave and a couple of bus boys had already removed our plates. She didn't ask if we wanted dessert or how we enjoyed our food. I so wanted to love this place but there was no way. At least the table was clean and the napkins were top notch. Haha!

    We loved this place! Huge 3 stack high by about 14 inches wide "Man vs. Food" challenge pancakes was perfect for the whole family to share. The chicken fried steak and eggs was ONO too. Coffee was perfect, and I'm pretty particular on my coffee, so this one suited me perfectly! Waitress was super friendly and kept our coffee topped off. Price is a little more then you'd pay at Denny's but then again the tranquil setting and the better quality food made it worth it! If you're hankering for a delicious breakfast then you will want to come here.

    This is one of the few places in Waikiki where you get the most out of your dollar, huge portions for pretty good prices. Also the interior decor is beautiful while it isn't even as crowded as other Waikiki restaurants but I personally think it is one of the best restaurants here. And I'll certainly be visiting again. Highly recommend the half pound burger, it us up there on my burger charts. Also my waitress, Kandle excelled and always checked up on us.

  • Tara K.

    As I write this the group I'm with has been here for THREE hours. It took nearly an hour to get our orders in, an hour to get our food & almost another hour for eating & waiting for the bill. The food is decent but not great, the ambience is good, hence the 2 stars. Our server was kind, but totally absent. No drink refills etc. Still waiting....

    Joel, Sandra and the team at Mac 24/7 are great. We started with the chicken wings moved to the Mahi Mahi along with the infamous Mac-cano eruption and loved the service, food and of course the drink. We had been looking for a place with quality food and service for 6 days since we got here and we found it on our last night here, My partner and I loved it!

  • Renee S.

    I love this place; food 24/7; delicious, reasonably priced and humongous portions to share of course! And overlooking the garden or if you choose watching USA kick booty! I've been here about 4 or 5 times; sometimes late, tasted B, L & Dinner foods. Baked good the muffins are tasty. Chicken fried steak, saimin and pecan french toast, oh and yes cheddar cheese soup! My favorite is the salmon Benedict. I always get the hollandaise on the side, so I could taste the flavors (well of course not to mention the gazillion calories) of the dish. The muffin was perfect texture, and the spinach went well with the dish. But OOOH, the fried rice here is really good. The only reason I didn't give them 5-stars is their service. With this restaurant situated in a classy hotel, and the beautiful atmosphere you would expect impeccable service. Service has been just that, service... ahhh so-so. Food comes out timely, but smiles and check backs are few and far between. Oh kudos to RICHARD who was at the coffee bar before the hostess stand, he saw no one was there so he took it upon himself to greet us and find us a seat. Do it the MAC daddy challenge, I wish I could.....

    Walked in and was a little unsure of what to expect because the reviews are a little mixed but I must say this restaurant was great! I feel people give it a not so great review because it is a little more expensive. First let me say Mack is Inside the Hilton. Second it's in Waikiki and third it caters to more specialty cooking so if you are looking for a quick bite to eat at a local diner this isn't the place for you. Man vs food Adam richman was here for the pancake challenge. This pancake is no joke! I saw pictures and thought "wow that's big " but then I saw it and thought to myself "omg". I ordered the short stack pancakes myself because the Mack pancake was just too big and only was able to finish 1/3 of it! Enough about that pancake and into what the family ordered. I got the beef short ribs. They were delightful, nice and tender and and potatoes, if you like garlic A+. The short ribs only down side was that they were a little bit fatty. The other item we ordered was chicken and waffles. They were ok. If you have ever been to roscoes they are nothing like roscoes that's for sure but the waffles were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken tasted like it was fried in the morning and just reheated as needed. Last item ordered was the seared ahi. The veggies were great, not over seasoned or too cooked. The seasoning on the ahi was spicy but tasty. The ahi wasn't too seared it just was perfect. Out of all the items ordered i would have to say the short ribs were my favorite.

    Stayed at the hotel and got hungry after staying up and watching tv so we decided to go downstairs for some late night/ early morning appetizers. Got seated right away. It took 15 minutes for our server to come to our table to greet us. Placed our order of short rib bites and chicken wings. After an hour of sitting in a room with obnoxious drunk people and no sign of our server or food we got up and left. Ordered room service the next day the food was just okay and way over priced.

    I'm learning towards 3.5 stars here but I'll go with 4 rather than 3. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hilton for about a week earlier this month, so we had plenty of time to visit Mac 24/7, especially since it was convenient and had an all day breakfast. If it wasn't for the fact that it was at our hotel, we would not have come as often as we did. Things were generally good, if a bit unbalanced. Some things had big portion sizes, some things not enough. Service was beyond great from the bar, just okay from the servers. The kitchen would get really bogged occasionally, probably as a result of room service at peak hours. So even though there was empty tables, we couldn't get seated in the restaurant area. Of all the times we were there, I think the best service we had was from Peter at the bar, a really friendly and amiable fellow. We stopped in the afternoon for a meal before our flight, and he made sure that we would be able to get our food in time before heading out. Even though it was really busy, we never felt like we were forgotten. Other times we were there, we usually had to flag down the servers as they didn't seem to come by too often and seemed a bit disinterested. The food was a solid 3.5. I had some things that I liked, and others that I didn't. My boyfriend has to have his bran flakes so he ordered the cold cereal - 7 dollars! Yikes. I know it's a restaurant but that seems ridiculous. After that we just bought milk and cereal, keeping it in our hotel room. I thought the miso coconut curry vegetables were okay. From the description of fried shallots and spiced macadamia nuts I was expecting something pretty flavourful. It just felt really heavy and perhaps just not seasoned enough. The half pound angus cheeseburger as my last meal at this restaurant was really tasty. After hearing from Peter that it was grass-fed island beef I gave it a try and wasn't disappointed. The meat was quite moist, juicy, and had good flavour. After finishing the burger, there was no room at all to eat my fries. Get the half pound angus cheeseburger!!! I have also had the freestyle eggs breakfast, with sausage. For $14 I admit I was missing the breakfast joints back home. It was a decent breakfast, but for that price I was expecting more. That being said, if big portion size is what you're after then there's always that crazy pancake challenge that they have. Seeing them in person, the pancakes are truly massive. After eating that, you'll just be in a food coma for the rest of the day!

    Holy pancake batman! If you're looking for a ridiculously good pancake, you must try this! Who cares what time it is ... It's open 24/7. Definitely convenient for hotel guests at the Hilton ... Nice walk from other hotels on Waikiki.

  • Mia H.

    The food was okay, the pancakes were good and filling but I'm mostly writing this review to help the restaurant improve their customer service. I went here for my 17th birthday with my girlfriends and got there about 10 minute early so I could set up the party favors and such. When I went to the entrance and told the front desk that I was here for my reservation, she just said "oh you're early...... sit over there" with an attitude." Of course I was in my birthday vibe and didn't let that phase me because I was just excited for a fun filled night with my friends. But when we finally sat down, our server was NOT friendly at all and moved at the slowest pace possible. She let our pancakes sit on the side while she took 10 minutes to set our table up with utensils and plates. I would only go here for the pancakes then leave. Don't expect the greatest service.

    This restaurant is located at the Hilton Waikiki Hotel, which is where I stayed during my honeymoon to Hawaii... ...but at the time I didn't realize that Mac 24/7 had become a bit of a celebrity due to it's Man vs. Food fame (I swear Adam Richman is gonna have a heart attack SOON). So, during our entire week stay, we avoided it, not because we wanted to, but because there were so many other places to try outside of our hotel. Fast forward two years later, I had some friends visit Hawaii and we wanted a late dinner. Since this is pretty much the only place open after midnight in Waikiki, we came here. Visually, this place was not what I expected...and that's a good thing. I visioned Mac 24/7 to look like a Denny's or IHOP, but it's the exact opposite. It's way modern, hip, and has a weird nightclub vibe to it. The seating area behind the bar seems cramped, but their dining room is spacious, and pretty rad. I had their Kalua Pork sandwich. It was...oook. The pork itself was alright, but the bun tasted like a cheap hot dog bun and added an unnecessary sweetness to it. The BBQ sauce lacks a bit of flavor as well and tastes like a cheap Hines BBQ sauce that leaves behind a slight metallic taste to it, if that makes sense. The accompanying onion rings were nice and crunchy, however. My friend ordered the their Mac and Cheese which was really good. The top of the dish had toasted breadcrumbs which gave a nice crisp to each bite. If I were to order it myself, I probably would have added the chicken to it. Aaand for dessert, we settled for the red velvet pancakes. And this is when I knew I should have ordered breakfast instead. This place knows how to make pancakes. The red velvet pancakes themselves were tasty, but HOW they makes these pancakes is pure perfection. It's not thick or doughy, but instead super fluffy and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. If I do come back, pancakes it is. Our server was actually pretty cool and did a great job at making sure we were taken care of. As expected, it's pricey...so if you're going to go all out, I would suggest getting your money's worth from their breakfast menu. I know I will.

    We came on a whim because we were hungry and tired and it was close to where we were standing. We loved it soooo much we came back a few days later. They serve breakfast all day, which my kids were very happy about. The kids pancake breakfast was more than enough even for my 11 year old. I had the macadamia pineapple coconut pancakes. THE BEST PANCAKES EVER!!!! Extra light and fluffy with yummy tropical twist. They are huge! Yet i managed to eat every bite. Poached egg cooked to perfection and nice crisp bacon. Amazing meal. I can't tell u what else they serve. I didn't even bother to look. Our waitress took our order without writing a thing down and got it all just right. Impressive for a party of 6. She was very efficient and super sweet. Restaurant was updated nicely, clean, and quiet. Perfect after a busy day of sightseeing. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and the giant portions.

    I've eaten at the restaurant years ago for breakfast and it was good. We didn't wait long, back then. I'm on the phone, waiting for the hostess to make a reservation and I'm watching the counter click over 15 minutes. Admittedly, it is 11:45 am and the start of the lunch hour, but it's a freaking Tuesday! 2 other people have picked up the line. Can they not have one of those people handle whatever the hostess is doing so that she can take a reservation? Can't someone else take a reservation?! If it weren't for the fact that the birthday girl specifically asked to try this restaurant, I'd hang up and try somewhere else. The counter now says 16+ minutes! Thank goodness for hands -free! I may update IF we ever get to the restaurant!

    Decided to bring company here after they arrived on a late evening flight. The pancakes are massive.... Even the small order. I think my father in law will make atleast 4 meals out of it if he wanted! A bit pricey for the quality, but still good. Service was really slow, took a while to get our food, but that is ok! Parking is $3 if you use valet, which is not bad at all. Someday, maybe someday, I will try and complete the pancake challenge! :)

    Craving breakfast at 10:00pm? Or just want something more than an english muffin before work? If you're anywhere near Waikiki, this is the place to go. This is the home of the Mac Daddy Challenge. Eat 3, 14 pancakes topped with either blueberries, walnuts and chocolate chunks; pineapple, coconut and macadamia nuts; or cinnamon streusel w/ vanilla glaze, in 90 Minutes and the pancakes are free. You also receive an official shirt and photo on the Wall of Fame and website. Rules: One person only. You have 90 minutes to complete the challenge and I may not leave your seat. The Mac Daddy Challenge was featured on Man v. Food. We did not partake in this insane challenge. Opting for more quality than quantity. My foodie partner opted for the Smoked Salmon Benedict. While I went with the Pecan Praline french toast. We also shared a side of fried rice. Let me tell you, everything was delicious but the fried rice was to die for. Whatever you order, get a side of fried rice. You won't be disappointed. The service was a little hit and miss. We ordered our food and it came out right away. I was surprised at how fast it came out. However our waiter was a little less than attentive. Although there were a lot of customers, the restaurant was by no means overwhelmed. Perhaps it was because we were seated in a corner of the room. The restaurant itself was clean and bright. Tables were spread apart enough to allow for an intimate dining experience without conversations being overheard at the next table. The restaurant is in the Hilton Prince Kuhio and parking is valet only. $3 with validation.

    Great place for a large group; prices are a little steep for breakfast but it is Waikiki, so what are you going to do?? Pancakes are definitely the way to go for breakfast; big and light and you can have five different flavors added to your stack for an additional charge but if you like your pancakes sweet, this is the way to go! Fresh squeezed juices, large cups of coffee and no rush to move you out!

    First timer... so i Made a reservation since I heard it was always so busy. Go there and we were seated right away. The server JC was super nice. We did the pancake challenge. . Wow. Between 7 of us we still didn't finish it. The coconut pineapple macadamian pancake was sooo yummy. Kinda didn't want to see a pancake ever again.

    We had dinner at Mac 24/7 over the weekend, & I actually enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I was actually hoping to eat their "Pot Pie" that I so remember enjoying a few years ago, & was disappointed to hear that they took it off the menu. I ended up ordering the "Rib Eye Steak" which came with assorted grilled mini vegetables & mashed potatoes. It was great & prepared just how I ordered it! My mom ordered the "Rueben" sandwich & thoroughly enjoyed it, my sister ordered the "Meatloaf" & enjoyed it as well - hers looked like she barely put a dent in it & she said she was stuffed! The only disappointment of the evening was my Aunt's order, which were "crabcakes". Do yourself a favor & do NOT order this. The hostess was nice as was our waitress, who came around several times to check on us & see if we were ready to order. Food arrived in a timely manner. Another plus about this place is that there is a little courtyard right outside of the restaurant, which was perfect for letting my nieces & nephew run around when they got bored inside the restaurant. It's a relief for them & for those dining around us! Being that it is in the heart of Waikiki, expect prices to be on the higher end, but for the most part, their portions are pretty generous & we were happy to take "doggy bags" home with us - even the kids meals were big portions!

    This review is for their annual Thanksgiving buffet. Overall too expensive for the quality and ambience. It was 42/person, but imho was more on 20-30 dollar/person level. Sides were not spectacular: -lobster bisque was lukewarm and way too heavy handed on the cream -stuffing was dry -mac and cheese was tasty but nothing spectacular -mashed potatoes were cold Carving station was decent--they had turkey, ham and prime rib; turkey was moist, and prime rib was reasonably tender Desserts were very underwhelming -pancakes were dry by the time we got to them; they should consider making them to order if this is truly their signature dish -pecan and pumpkin pies did not taste homemade

    Writing a review while I wait for dessert. Came here on a Saturday night. People said the service is horrible here, but we actual had a great server. I believe Sandra was her name and she was attentive, really nice, and knowledgable about the menu. We had the chicken and waffles and the MAC loco moco. The seasoning on the chicken and waffles was on point. The country gravy complimented it well. The loco moco was good. I expected it to be better though. The prices are a little overboard, but other than that I had a good experience. 5 stars to our waitress Sandra but 4 stars for the food.

    It was a late night on a Sunday in waikikki and we needed some grub so we wandered into this place and what we found we were unprepared for. The service was great and the food was phenomenal! Our waitress Dorothy was the best. She helped us pinpoint. What we wanted to eat and even gave us tips on the best drinks to have. She was very nice, helpful and made great convo as well. Made us feel right at home. I would recommend to anyone. Favorite restaurant in Waikiki! Ask for Dorothy

    Good place for late night eating. I ordered the Mac Attack, choice of pancakes or french toast, eggs any style, applewood bacon, sausage link and potatoes. Ordered pancakes but got french toast by mistake, no biggie. Just your normal breakfast nothing to rave about. My gf ordered the chicken fried steak, just okay. The dinner menu looked good, probably will come back to try it out.

    True professional service. The food is amazing. Kind of expensive, but I never leave feeling like I have been ripped off. The pancakes are so good you will lose yourself in a euphoric pancake heaven. Eggs benedict, and kalbi steak and eggs awesome.

    In the past I have really enjoyed Mac 24/7 however today the service we received from Richard was less than stellar. As a Customer Service trainer n a Fortune 500 country his attitude and responses were rude, curt and trust me if I were looking for someone to hire in my industry it would not be him! Also I love, love my Prtgs sausage and I received 1 that was cut in 5 pieces...What? What happened to he rest of it? Thus the reason for he 2 stars!

    We went there around 1 am and had fish tacos and Caesar salad. Food was really good. It took a while until it got to us though. Service was ok. We sat at the bar and it is nice there. Wait for outside would have been 45 minutes!!! At 1am in the morning!! Crazy. It's good drunk food maybe that's why. I recommend the fish tacos!

    Recently in Waikiki on vacation looking for a good breakfast place. The valet at the hotel we stayed at suggested this place. Super glad he did! This restaurant is inside the Hilton Hotel downtown. You pay $2 - 3 extra to valet park during your meal. It's kid friendly - and can be a bit loud. You have a nice view of the hotel garden area. The bar is as you walk in and it seemed like it was set for weekend parties. Very lit up and trendy. Now onto the food part... If you're a Man vs. Food person. you will recognize the LARGE pancakes known as Mack-Daddy pancakes. They come in 5 flavors - we choose to try the Elvis ones. They came complete with multilayer stack of 3 gigantic cakes with tasty goodness... bananas, bacon, and peanut butter "icing". YUMMY! It was so huge, the two of us adults could only finish 1/2 of the stack. Into fun drinks and happy hour? Then try one of their MaiTais or fancy Bloody Mary options, too. It's a fun vacation treat! We ate here twice during our stay and also tried the chicken fried steak. Average - but it's served with a kick-tail gravy!! And like others before me, the service was right on point. ** If you just want to try the Elvis and you didn't bring 4 of your besties and a big appetite, then order the regular stack and pay the extra $2 for the fancy flavors.

    Stopped in for a quick meal. It took 30 min for is to be seated. Only saw our server 4 times. 1-to get us drinks. 2-to take our order after bringing our drinks. 3-bring food 4-to hand her our card because she took 15 min to bring us out check after clearly being done. The burger tasted like a frozen patty and my sweet potato fries were served cold. Only saw two servers for the entire restaurant on a sat night at 8:30pm.

  • Carol M.

    Very disappointing after reading positive reviews. Server was great very friendly, food took a long time to come to the table. This was breakfast @ 10.30am. Bacon and potatoes were not fresh and had been hanging around for a long time, toast was hot but barely toasted. The poached eggs were like 2 golf balls, I asked for 2 more eggs which came relatively quickly and were cooked OK. For the price paid, I didn't feel the value was there and certainly nothing other than the 2nd eggs wee fresh. Denny's probably has fresher food that what I experienced. Too bad as the amabiance is awesome.

    Horrible Horrible Horrible!! I'm here now 2:47 am 6/14/14. I waited 20 mins to get water and 45 mins to get the Mac attack which I ordered pancakes with but instead I received waffles. Not only that the waitress came back in took my waffles off my plate lol. Food was luke warm. The restaurant was almost empty!

    I've been wanting to try this place. So far the food was ehh....I was particularly not happy with the slow service, especially since my order was to go. The hostess and server were nice so I may go back for happy hour to give them another chance.

  • Allyson E.

    MmM MmM Mmm!! couldnt wait to get my hands on those Giant Pancakes!! eventhough it was sunday morning, we got seated right away... We ordered the Giant 13'' Pancakes, Elvis style (bananas, peanut butter sauce, and bacon) and the Sweet chili Chicken Wings. Everything tasted great!!! the pancakes were huge yet very fluffy and full of flavor, the chicken wings were huge as well!!!! ive never had wings that big!! that meaty!! they were soo good!!!! we only ate a quater of our pancakes so we had a lot of leftovers...and they were only $15!! our waiter, jose, was So nice as well! we was funny and very friendly! Good experience.

  • Kira O.

    I'm surprised so many people left Mac 24/7 unsatisfied! I've always left Mac 24/7 happy. In all the times I've went, the staff was friendly and professional (especially Sandra!). Mac 24/7 is my favorite place to go for breakfast for dinner. They do the basics right. Their pancakes and waffles are amazing!! Their country-fried steak is onolicious as well. I've only ever gone here than 9pm, so I'm not sure how busy it is at other times of the day/night. But if you're in the Waikiki area and getting hungry late at night, I really suggest eating here! You might want to pass on their loco moco though - it's nothing special, especially for that price. Get yourself some late-nite breakfast and thank me later! :)

    Love love love the adobo chx and elvis pancake here as recommended by chef Rob. portions are huge and we arrived hungry... were served by the always gracious nancy who we met many year ago at the same place under a diff mgmt.

  • Amanda M.

    Oh! My! Goodness!! The pancakes are beyond humongous. Super delicious though. If I were to come back, I would certainly split with AT LEAST 4 people. The Ultimate Hawaiian Combo was also phenomenal. Came with teriyaki chicken breasts (2), BBQ short ribs (2), fried rice (2 mounds) and seared ahi with wasabi sauce (4 slices). Service was a bit slow but the food was excellent.

  • Suie C.

    Came here to try out the gigantic pancakes. Yes, they're gigantic. But the flavor...not so much. Got the blueberry ones. Huge pancakes with fresh blueberries and powdered sugar. Definitely a sight in itself. However, you're paying for the experience more rather than the taste. Nothing terribly special except for the size.

  • Remy-Anne V.

    So me and my 3 friends decided to stop by here and grab some breakfast. We all ordered our own individual plates and seconds afterward realized that Mac 24/7 was where Man vs. Food took place. So we asked our waiter and he confirmed it. So we asked for a side order of pancakes just to try it out. He looked at us as if were were crazy! "Are you sure?" ... 'Uhhh yea" was our response. And as we walked away the 4 of us were bewildered and thought he was just weird. Little did we know there was some rhyme and reason to his thought provoking question.Their pancakes are HUGE! hahah...picture 4 people with their own individual orders and then here comes a 3 gigantic pancakes that you can compare to a large pizza! LOL! The guy probably thought we were total Fateez when we ordered them. But rest assured, we did not finish the pancakes! For my 'real" meal I ordered their eggs benedict. This is one of my top favorite breakfast items, and I would say it was "EHH, OK." A little dry, and barely any hollandaise sauce on it. And the ham was rather tough and thick to cut through. Overall, not horrible but I've had better. As for their pancakes-these were a better substitute for my meal. Despite their large size they were good. We had the pineapple, coconut and macadamia nut pancakes. My favorite syrup was the guava! The fresh pineapples and coconut on top also added to the great taste. Their interior design was pretty cool. Orange all around and a nice modern feel all around. Service was decent, not extroardinary. I unfortunately, didn't get to try Boots & Kimos which I hear is the absolute best, but I would say Mac 24/7 an okay spot for morning breakfast.

  • Ciera G.

    Service was slow and nearly non existent. When the food finally came, which took 45 min with an empty restaurant, one of our plates was cold. Had to find a manager to finally get our check. So disappointed as I was looking forward to this place after seeing it on Man vs Food. Pancakes were good, but I'd much rather eat at IHOP. Save your money.

  • Vivian A.

    Is this place for real? A four pound pancake?!?!?! WhatyoutalkinaboutWillis?!?! I was in awe when I saw one pass us by while we were overlooking the menu. How many families can that serve?!? Better yet, a tiny village in Uganda no doubt! I wasn't about to find out as every table we saw later on with one on it looked like they were miserable, rubbing their bellies, and asking for a cake-size box to take the pancake home. We ordered the Mac Attack: Pancakes, eggs, potatoes, bacon and sausage. For $1 more you can get your pancakes specialties. I got mine with the coconut, macadamia, and pineapple topping. It was very tasty. The pancake mix had a good flavor. The Canadian ordered "The Elvis" and man, was he on to something! Peanut butter Syrup with bananas and bacon bits! WHO KNEW! I knew if he wasn't madly in love with me, he would have thought otherwise to share. But he was nice enough and damn, I had to admit, that was some pretty bomb @ss pancake! GOO ELVIS!!! Peanut butter syrup and bacon bits were having a party in my mouth and they were pelvis pumpin' in my mouth, Elvis style!!! HEEEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!! A bit pricey but that Elvis pancake was definitely worth it's money in Blue Suede Shoes.

  • Tim K.

    Food was ok, but very over priced. We stay at this hotel and mac24/7 is on first floor. We rarely eat here because of cots.I had the pastrami sandwich and couldn't get it down. Way too salty, bread was soggy. If you go her stick with the wings but be sure to ask for extra sauce because they don't give much.

  • Curt C.

    Mac 24/7 is known for their pancakes. These pancakes aren't the tastiest, but they are some of the biggest I've seen. Three pancakes so large that even the guy from Man vs Food couldn't finish them (granted he had a time limit, but still) The pancakes are too huge for one mere person, and yet they charge you if you are share the pancakes, which just seems wrong to me. Their other foods are alright, but I didn't find my burger and my friends chicken to be that memorable. Its kinda like a Cheesecake Factory, but the food isn't as big or cheap or good. The portions are pretty big, but the food is very "meh" especially for the prices. It is located in Waikiki so I understand why it's not the cheapest place, but it's just a very unmemorable experience. I'm glad its open 24/7, but if it's like two in the morning in Waikiki, I would much rather find a hot dog stand or end up at Zippys...

    Heard a lot about this place from a bunch of friendly locals so my husbad and I decided to check it out before we checked out of our lovely hotel. Service was great! There was no line when we went which is weird considering all the good stuff we had heard about it. But hey im not complaining lol. My fried chicken an waffles and side of two eggs were amaze balls. My husband had the mac attack meal I believe. The pancakes were super on point! They even have coconut sauce on the side if you would like to pour some of that goodness on there as well. I shall retun on my next visit to waikiki

  • Ozzie L.

    Service was little to none existent, food was ok. We had the red velvet pancakes which were good but no way you could finish a whole serving. Not cause its too big but way to rich that it gave you that burning feeling in your throat. The Kalbi was edible but that could have been cause i was starving from waiting on the server. Travel channel, not sure what you were thinking in recommending this spot but im sure there was a little $ involved....

  • Trishia P.

    Service here is alright. However, I got the small plate of pancakes and they were fluffy and HUGE! This plate came with an amazing side of red potatoes, bacon and sausage and your choice of eggs. I got the pineapple, coconut shavings and macadamia nut pancakes. YUM! I also had a guava lemonade and it was sweet yet a little tart and was the perfect drink to pair with my pancakes. Nice clean place by Kuhio Beach (just down Lili'oukalani Blvd), perfect place to stop for breakfast before hitting up the waves.

  • Mark M.

    There's a saying out there that goes something like this, "Wrong me once, shame on you. Wrong me twice, shame on me." I wonder what person who coined that saying would say about a third time. As you can see from my previous update, things did not go according to plan. We didn't even get served the last time we set foot in Mac 24/7. It's been well over a year and Mac's manager Brett (at the time) said in a private message to me that he would use my previous update as a training tool for the future. Well, I'm happy to report that my girl and I returned at 930pm and actually got served this time. Victory! We were seated in a small booth by the bar but that's when things started to go south. It took well over ten minutes for anyone to even acknowledge that we were there. We were brought water about twelve minutes after we sat. We placed our orders and enjoyed each others company. She ordered a mimosa and the smoked salmon eggs benedict. I ordered the seared ahi over fried rice. We were both starving and we couldn't wait to see what kind of tasty food Mac had to offer since we weren't able to try it last time. So we waited, and waited.... and waited. It was about 35 minutes when our server brought out her benedict stating that she "didn't want it to get cold" while waiting for my meal to finish. Her benedict was nice, warm, and pretty tasty albeit a little salty thanks to the smoked salmon. I received my entree over forty minutes after I placed the order and it was COLD. How the hell did that happen? The fried rice was dry, cold, and tasteless. The ahi, while of nice quality, was also cold. Something that I found very odd since I waited so long for it in a restaurant that was NOT busy. I never ever send anything back to the kitchen no matter what. That's just the way that I was raised. My parents always told me if I ever encounter a restaurant and I don't agree with the food, pay the bill, tip the help, and never return. It really hurt when I paid the bill. The total came out to over $60 including a 15% tip for cold, subpar food. So Mac, that was three strikes and guess who's out? You. Forever. The only saving grace this meal had was our server Pam. She was cheerful, helpful, and a very bright star in a dim restaurant. Please give her a raise or some praise for me.

    Overrated. Staff weren't attentive, we waited over 10 minutes for water with the previous guest's bill on our table. I've worked in the food service industry for over 10 years and the hostess checks the table properly before seating the guests. This place wasn't busy for a Saturday so I was surprised at the wait and "tiredness" of the staff. No smiling, no "thank yous" nothing that warrants $15 eggs, bacon and toast or $5 chocolate shakes. Another slight to me was when I left my credit card with the hostess and was greeted with, "what do you want now?" We came in with a baby, declined a high chair and cleaned up before we left. We were very gracious locals that left a tip that was more than was deserved. There are waaaaaaaay better places on this island for breakfast PLUS great service. This place is not one of them.

    Located in the Hilton hotel. Service: The server was nice and friendly, but in attentive. Food: Took forever to get out chicken and waffles!!! But it was worth the wait! The chicken was very fresh and juicy. The skin was friend very well. They actually give you 4 pieces of chicken (leg, thigh, breast, and wing) and a giant waffle. I'm glad I shared this dish because there is no way I would have been able to finish on my own. Price: Very overpriced for what they serve. Dishes range from $15-25 for some flour, eggs, and meat. Overall: I would not recommend this place since there is so much better places just a couple of streets down.

  • Michael M.

    Ha ha ha! Funny big pancake. You mean they are serious? It's nice to have a gimmick. It brings people in and sets you apart from similar typed business. But c'mon. 16 bucks for a pancake! This thing must weigh five pounds and will put you in a diabetic coma if you tried to eat it all at once. It's a ridiculous waste of food. I could probably finish this if I ate a little bit of it every day for a month. And it's not that great. Kinda al dente and "well done" with crispy char marks. Do they use a pizza oven to cook this thing? That aside the service was "okay." Waitress spilled OJ all over the table and didn't clean it up. We also waited a good 20 minutes to be seated when there was virtually no line before us. Prices are on the high side here. For what? The nice decor. The only saving grace is that it is open 24 hours a day. Meh 24/7 Fix'd.

    My husband and I were up at 4am (11am, NY time for us) and we were starving. We thought we'd have to wait until 6:30 am to eat breakfast but we found mac247 located in the Hilton hotel nearby. The coffee was outstanding of course and the meal to die for. My favorite part was the coconut macadamia nut pineapple short stack of pancakes. Delicious and must visit for tourists who are up early and need breakfast.

    Great breakfast, amazing pancakes! Easily the best late nite dining in Hawaii. The food gets 5 stars! and after numerous late night trips I am just amazed at the consistently high quality! Love the eggs, bacon, panckes, red velet pancakes, bloody mary's But I've only been here when drunk at 2am

    One of our group found this place from a "Man v. Food" posting on Youtube and insisted we go. I wasn't too keen because his reason was to try this humongous pancake called the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge featured on that silly show. Really? Most places that have pancakes and say they're "the best" in fact are quite disappointing and taste really yucky. Especially someplace that makes pancakes BIGGER than frisbees -- how good can they taste when they're that large? Quick side note: my husband actually sells pancake mix for a living and so our family considers ourselves pancake aficionados. We have tried every single kind of pancake this side of the Mississippi (not really but sometimes it feels like it). We know our pancakes. So Mac 24/7 has some of the best pancakes we have ever tasted in a restaurant. WHAT? How can this be? We didn't want to pony up the $22 for the Mac Daddy challenge pancakes but did get the short stack which was not short nor little. They provided coconut and maple syrups on the side -- both of which were delicious -- but truly the pancakes needed neither. They were SO delicious, a perfect balance between crepe and cake -- not too cakey yet nice and fluffy, perfectly and evenly browned, not dry nor gummy. Truly, delicious pancake perfection. These have gotta be made from scratch. We also had Eggs Benedict and subbed Spam in for the Canadian bacon -- what a good idea, they should add it to the menu! The chicken fried steak was also super yummy and something worth ordering. It had a delicious gravy on the side so you could dip your steak bite by bite and not deal with an excessively soggy, over-breaded mess. Honestly, it was probably too much for a breakfast item and the serving was huge but if you're in a position to take home leftovers, you would be lucky to have it twice! Of course, anyplace that has the Mac Daddy pancake challenge is probably not worried about their serving sizes being too large. If you're in Waikiki or close, make a trip to the Hilton Waikiki to try Mac24/7 (which also validates the hotel's valet-only parking, $3 for up to 3 hours). We didn't have time to patronize the night time side of the restaurant but this looks fun and intriguing, as well. Oh and the web site? It is uber cool and just adds to the solid 5 stars I am giving this place. Just wish I lived in Honolulu so I could go all the time.

    Chalk up another miss for TV Food Network Hawaii restaurants. It was late, we were hungry, and we decided one of the few choices we haven't tried was this spot. Got there around 9:30pm and this place was empty. I think there was maybe total of 4 customers at that time. We ordered the caesar salad and chicken alfredo to share. We didn't really want pancakes as it may be too heavy for us. Caesar salad came first and what a joke. It wasn't even mixed and the salad was in separate pieces. Imagine you going to the supermarket, getting buying 3 leaves of lettuce, throwing it on the plate, cut 3 slices of tomatoes from a whole and putting that also on the plate. Top with cheese and call it a caesar salad. I've seen people who can't cook put a better and proper caesar salad than that. The chicken alfredo was a lil better but that is compared to what we just got. The taste was bland, it was dry, there was only a few pieces of chicken, and the portion was small for the price you pay. Service is decent there but because it was slow and there is more servers than customers, we were treated fine.

  • Mike B.

    I have ordered breakfast lunch and a late night burger here. All were excellent! The short stack is enough food to share with another person and still take food home. I ordered the burger for a lunch and late night snack. Prepared well however at night it was done differently than during the lunch time. Both temperature and the fries were different. Make sure you specify what you want when ordering the burger. Would definitely go back.

    Went to Mac 24/7 this afternoon to try the pancake challenge (after seeing it featured on Man vs. Food). Failed miserably, as do most people. The pancakes were were definitely enough to split between four pretty big eaters, so I'd recommend against trying it (although it makes for some entertaining photo ops). I ordered the blueberry version, which comes with a vanilla glaze. As for the taste and preparation, the centers of the pancakes were under-cooked, and the batter wasn't well mixed (tasted egg-y in places). Overall it was also too sweet (the blueberries weren't sufficiently tart to cut the sweetness of the vanilla glaze). The service was pretty meh. The wait staff was friendly and available once the meal was under way, but my friend and I waited a good 10 - 15 minutes after being seated before being asked for our drink orders. The fresh brewed coffee was fine, but nothing to write home about. Overall I'm giving a generous 3/5 stars.

    AHHHH-MAAAAA-ZZZZING. We didn't order the HUGE pancakes they have the size of a tire (the 5lb one) but we did order a short stack of Red Velvet Pancakes, Cinnamon Strussel and Cinnamon Strussel French Toast. Breakfast for dinner was a great experience here. Everything fulfilled our needs. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful when we ordered and she answered all of our questions. If you check in here you get 50% off one of their strongest drinks here. This place is located at the Hilion Waikiki Beach (near Kuhio).

    6/3/2012- Arrived there around 7pm had to wait for seating but only a few minutes. I consider Mac 24/7 a snazzy 'Denny's' nothing more. I used a Yelp coupon for a drink which our waiter said he would have to ask his manager if they accept them.... after all said and done Mac 24/7 did not honor the Yelp coupon. The food was okay nothing out of this world, dinner came out fast as for our desset's that took awhile which was strange because the crowd had died down by then. I gave this a business a 2 star, rightfully so. Mahalo

    I was in Oahu for a wedding and I wanted to get dinner but I was unfamiliar with the area. So, I found this place since it was on Man vs. Food... But I knew I couldn't handle the large pancakes so I got the Loco Moco and my husband got Fried Chicken and Waffles w/ country gravy. The portions were large! The food was good but service was a little lacking. Overall, a nice place to eat... Also, I was really full so I couldn't try the dessert I was eyeing... called the Xango (Cheesecake and bananas wrapped in crisp crust and ice cream and caramel sauce). Can someone please let me know how that is? :)

    I was skeptical after the mixed reviews on YELP. But we had a great breakfast experience. A nice table with the garden view. Yummy yummy pancakes. And delicious breakfast potatoes. Portions were perfect. And JC our server was great! I wouldn't hesitate coming back again.

    I can't believe this place doesn't have better reviews. I thought it was probably my favorite restaurant on our entire nearly two-week Honeymoon. The ambiance and decor is very modern and inviting, with huge glass windows offering a rainforest-like view outside. We came twice. First time I got an ahi tuna appetizer, and chicken fried steak with a side of mac & cheese. Everything was top notch. The mac & cheese was actually my favorite part of the meal I think, it was piping hot, super cheesy and tasty. I wish I could make it that good. Next time, I got a smoked salmon eggs Benedict, which combines two of my favorite breakfasts. Just be aware that the portions here are absurdly huge (at least the meals I got), and the prices reflect that.

    Good service here. Can't complain. Nice courtyard area to view with a running water fall. Good customer service and real clean place. I can prob say it's the cleanest out of all the places I've been to in hawaii so far.

    The Good: "The Elvis" topping on the pancakes. Open 24 hours. The Bad: Skimpy on the breakfast potatoes. The Review: I bet if I lived in this area, or if I were on vacation for a lot longer time I would be at this restaurant constantly. As I was only in Hawaii for less than a week we only visited here once. I love places like this. Breakfast any time of the day? C'mon now. I ordered the breakfast that included eggs, potatoes (awesomely seasoned, not enough), sausage, bacon, and pancakes. I loved "The Elvis" topping which included bananas, peanut butter, and I want to say caramel. The pancakes are thick and made really well. Someone at our table ordered the Mac Challenge, with the explicit purpose of taking a picture of it. That sucker is huge! I definitely wouldn't be able to do that challenge.

    Mac 24/7 offers you medium-high-class comfort food. It's also medium-high-priced, since you're at a Hilton in Waikiki. The insanely large pancakes that constitute the Mac 24/7 Challenge are worth the experience. Two people together will have trouble finishing them, even if they eat nothing else. The food here is really quite good -- they use good ingredients, and they don't skimp on the tasty stuff (fat, salt, sugar). The pan-asian chicken salad and the meatloaf are winners. Basically all of the breakfast options are good, and are always available. My favorite is the macaroni and cheese, which is done in fine style. Add bacon to it to go over the top. Service here is so-so, and the problem is mostly that it's slow. The waiters I've encountered have always been friendly and accurate. They just don't come by all that often. The food often takes 20+ minutes to arrive. I suspect the restaurant is just chronically understaffed; I've had to wait 25 minutes for a table when there were multiple tables open. This is a great place to go with a group late at night, when you don't really care how long it takes. Fill up and go to sleep happy.

    I feel a little sick! We went for dinner. Staff was actually great. I ordered the Mahi Mahi, so excited about the local fare. It was very salty and rich. I think I had an allergic reaction to something because I started sneezing and my throat closed up. I am only allergic to 3 things and none of them should have been on my plate. My daughter got the Keiki Mac'n Peas and hated it. I tried a bite and not only did it taste like vomit, it almost became that. My son had the Chicken Fried Steak and it was so dry and bland, he just moved the food around. My kids have eaten food off the street in Pedang, they are not picky eaters. I know something is wrong if they are pushing their food around. My husband seemed to like his ribs, although there wasn't any bones and he claimed it was more like roast beef. Another "C" note later and I'm almost ready for Mickey D's...

    Pork Belly, pan roasted with home style mash mmmm! The skin was crispy and the oriental bbq sauce was just right. The fatty flesh melted in your mouth (probably in my arteries too but who cares? lol). Home style mash potatoes were just the right amount of heavy and creamy all in one. Also in our party the meatloaf was excellent. Our waitress Dorothy was awesome. She treats the locals how they want to be treated in Waikiki. All in all we had a great meal, awesome service, and a really clean and cool atmosphere. Would highly recommend this place.

    A local friend brought me in to try their pancakes. Okay, they won me. This has got to be one of my top favorite pancake place that has unique options. I tried boots n kimo and cinnamon. Mac 24/7 still stole my heart for pancakes in Oahu. Had the one with pineapple chucks, macadamia nuts and coconuts. I shall get the BLUEBERRY one next time I'm on the island. Oh yeah, we shared an omelet too, that was dandy. But seriously, them PANCAKEs.... and this place is 24/7??? Awesome. (This spot is located in a hotel... just incase anyone has a hard time hunting this spot down.)

  • Jane L.

    The reason why I came here is because my friend who was visiting was staying in this hotel. I was hungry so I came here to eat since I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant. This place is pretty pricey but what do you expect it is in Waikiki. The first drink that I ordered tasted horrible. I did not like it at all. I didn't get charged for it. While I was sitting at the bar one of the cooks was talking to his coworker and swearing up a storm. Really? That makes them look bad because it is a business. The lady cook was such a sweetheart I enjoyed talking to her. I had french fries which was pretty good. Service was really slow, I ordered Grey goose red bull and it took over ten minutes to get my drink twice. I mean damn did they have to go to Europe to get the Red Bull and Grey goose it took so long. For two drinks and fries I paid $30 geez

    Have dined here at least 10 times in the last 8 months. Never cease to be impressed with the professionalism and sincerity of the staff. Always a smile, always positive and cheerful. The food is superb and is served quickly and in a manner one would expect from a fine dining establishment. Tonight was my friends birthday and our server Dorothy went the extra mile to make the night special and unforgettable. Can't remember ever laughing to much with a server! Such a great experience to add to the many amazing experiences we have already had here!

    This is the type of place I like to go to when I'm either running errands in the neighborhood and want a place that isn't too touristy or crowded during the day and just want to lounge about while slowly munching away. Or other times I want to fuel my shameful refined sugar/refined wheat addiction since the menu is laden with such goodies. Plus, it's one of the few higher quality places that are actually open 24/7 that hasn't made me violently ill (unlike both Denny's in the same vicinity). If I actually had a car I wouldn't bother going here since dealing with parking isn't worth it. This was basically the only place that you could actually get any decent food on New Year's. We expected a half an hour wait but just had to wait for fifteen minutes which was a bit of an impressive feat. Most of the time it's either a ghost town or somewhat full but not in the uncomfortable manner. It's clean, comfortable, music that makes you chuckle a bit at times, somewhat awkwardly friendly (only a few of the males) to extremely chummy staff, and good basic staples with little twists here and there. I never have to wait long to actually get my meals which is a big plus. The prices are really reasonable for generally massive size portions. The chicken fried steak was the size of my head. For those who love sweets but want to feel like they made a healthier choice than cheesecake wrapped in puff pastry but want to feel just as satisfied there's always the lime yogurt with an assortment of fresh fruit and granola.

    I was excited to go back because I had a good experience the last time.. But this time was not at all what I expected.. We got to sit in the back, which was nice, but once we entered a foul smell hit my nose. I could not put my finger on it. No one else had food on the table so it was not the aroma. I then smelt the menu because the waitress did not take it away after we ordered. I then realized that the smell was coming from that and it smelt like rotten milk. I guess they use the menu as a place mat as well. I ordered breakfast food, which usually tastes fantastic at night, but the eggs were cold, the sausage tasted funny and the french toast tasted like sweat bread. Very disappointed.

  • Jacob N.

    Okay, just revisited here again last night after a couple HIFF movies... Our server was awesome! Super friendly, and personable. I had ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad ($14) thinking it would match the very large portions that this place is known for... Maybe something along the lines of a CPK salad since the price is pretty similar. I was sadly disappointed. The salad was about the size of a half-portion at CPK. It was tasty, though, but it's definitely not worth the price! Stay away from it until they either lower the price, or increase the portion! I would have dropped a star off my rating, but the wonderful service is helping that third star hang on there!

  • Jo Z.

    Went there for breakfast this morning, I had the waffle w/strawberries which was pretty good, it also came with whipped cream and maple syrup, the regular fare ($13). My husband had the loco moco, 1 fat char broiled hamburger patty with 2 eggs over easy, a huge mound of rice, and lots of gravy. I got to taste it and it was pretty good but it wasn't the ultimate Loco Moco. For $17, I was expecting a little more. The service was okay, our waitress seemed to be on the tired side.

  • Aya T.

    I give this place 3.5 stars. I went here for lunch one day and sat at the bar, service was great for me. The guava lemonade is very tasty, a nice mix of guava and lemon. I was afraid the lemon part of the drink would overwhelm the guava and it didn't. The portions here are humongous so I ordered the caeser salad and turkey avocado club to share. The salad was very creamy, I liked the anchovy flavor and crunching on the big croutons. The club was delicious, nice turkey, crispy bacon, lots of avocado served up on buttered/mayo wheat bread. The salt and pepper fries it came with were good but a little on the cold side. I also like the modern spacious look of this diner, good place to come to if you're super hungry and want to watch football on their plasma TVs throughout the bar area.

  • Donna L.

    I don't know why I decided to bring my friends from out-of-town to this joint. Well, I guess 'cuz it was late and our options were limited... and we didn't really want to hit up the tourist-ladened eateries in Waikiki, so I suggested Mac 24/7. I've been here a couple times before and was never really a fan. But I thought to myself, maybe I just don't order the right things when I'm there, so I opted to give the place another try. Third time's a charm, right? Wrong. I mean, the place has a cool little vibe to it, but the food is just so... blah. I know they're known for their gargantuan pancakes that are supposedly super awesome, but I've yet to try it, nor do I care to. After the last time I came here, I don't think I'll be returning. The food is nothing to rave about and is overpriced... in my opinion anyway. On the plus side, it is open 24/7! But so is the McD's in the area... next time I'm going to choose the golden arches. :)

  • Greg S.

    Others have already pointed out the poor service and hit or miss food. That being said, I found the modern diner concept to be interesting and it's open 24 hrs a day. When I'm looking to eat at 1 am, this will be on the short list of places to go. The chicken and waffle hit the spot last time; I think that I could put country gravy on pretty much anything. The thin crispy batter on the chicken was also very tasty.

    (3)

  • John N.

    The times I've eaten here I was stopping by alone and sat at the counter. I never had problems with the service, but maybe it looked slow the nights I went and I had the bartender's undivided attention. Anyways...I agree that the pancakes are ridiculously large in proportion. The 4-egg omelet I had one night was good. The coffee isn't bad either. In any event if you're hungry near the Kapiolani Park end of Kuhio late at night and want decent food this place is worth a try.

  • opqr s.

    blah. We ordered the seared ahi w/ kim chee fried rice & maui onion salad. The ahi was bland and the fried rice was too salty. The Maui onion salad could use more greens and less blue cheese. For dessert, we had the waffle sundae - blah. To top of the experience, our server was blah.

    Got up this morning, excited to go try this place! WHAT A LETDOWN!!! The worst meal and service I've had in Hawaii. 10 minutes to get water. Ordered coffee, they brought cups. Waited and waited, finally said "hey can we get some coffee for these cups." Finally got coffee... no milk no creamer, that was another 5 minutes. After being there 25 minutes, finally got milk for coffee. Of 4 different meals, french toast came out wrong, waffles were cold, omelet was alright. I personally got the "pancake challenge." To be blunt, they sucked. We asked to see the manager. 2 times and 10 minutes later he came by and instead of just saying there was no excuse, he mumbled lame excuses. BTW this was at 10 AM and the place was only at maybe 20% capacity.

  • Jeff I.

    I gotta say, this place was a bust. The food was.....it would have been better at Zippy's. The drinks are kinda expensive. The service was freakn' slow. I've never worked in a restaurant before, but I don't think it takes 10 minutes to pour a glass of wine. The only thing going for it was the look of the place. The front would have come right out of a 1950's futuristic dinner.

  • Nina L.

    Holy crap, the portions are ginormous here. I guess at about $12-15 per entree it should be. Husband and I shared a reuben sandwich that came with a fried pickle spear and seasoned fries and they were all decent. This is a good choice for late night dining if you're not in the mood for room service, bar food, or McDonald's. The ambiance seems a little dated (think 80's neon) but I suppose if you've had a few drinks and you're starving, you won't notice a thing.

  • Sheron C.

    The one thing that stands up to the hype is that the food portions are GINORMOUS! But from a taste pespective, it's hit or miss. Their mac & cheese is pretty tasty. Their eggs benedict kind of bland. So the food isn't awesome across the board, but it's not horrid across the board either. The service was spotty too. But we went LATE, so maybe the service is better during normal hours.

  • Waynele Y.

    we just went to a wedding where the emcee joked that the filipinos were once giants.. the proof is in the large spoon and fork hanging on their wall.. time to unhang the spoon and fork and put those bad boys to use at this place. while the portions are big, like most people noted already, the food is just alright. the restaurant is nice looking, and can accomodate big parties, but it isn't a place you eat at and can't wait to eat at again. i was disappointed that the asian chicken salad was made with iceberg lettuce. the fried chicken was pretty tasty but the waffles were no where in comparison to roscoes. the pancakes were mediocre too. although they are supposed to be know for their cupcakes, the carrot cupcake was nothing like a carrot cake. it tasted like a vanilla cupcake with carrots in it and sweet frosting on top.

    the hostess sat us as soon as we arrived, no reservations. decor is pretty and bright, looks and feels clean. the food is okay, i had chicken parmesan on linguine with marinara sauce, i'm not much of a marinara-tomato-e person but it was pretty okay. i know i would not crave to go back but if i am around the vicinity or staying at the hotel, i would definitely go back. the waiter was very efficient and friendly.

    So much hating on Mac 24-7. I thought breakfast here was awesome! The futuristic modern look is sorta strange for a diner, but the food is so good. I came here specifically for the fried chicken and waffles, and sacrilegious or not, but Mac 24-7's chicken and waffles gives Rosco's the beatdown. It's a little pricey for something like $18, but when you compare it to a $12 Ihop breakfast in Waikiki, I'd take the chick and waffles any day. The waffle is crisp and super buttery that I didn't feel the need to add any syrup to it, and just ate it with the country gravy. And it came with 4 pieces of fried chicken. Yes an entire half chicken, so really the price isn't too crazy considering that it's so much food. The chicken had a good batter, was crispy but maintained it's moistness, and was not greasy at all. I'd recommend sharing an order and maybe ordering an extra waffle on the side, because you'll definitely be fighting for it. My buddy ordered the mac and cheese which he liked, but he definitely trying to steal my waffle.

    Food is decent, good on a night of drinking. I like how the restaurant/bar looks itself, very pretty. They're known for their pancakes but if you decide to order other entrees the portion sizes are inconsistent with one another. Some meals are bigger than others even if they're priced about the same so it helps to judge by looking at other diner's plates. Like a tiny portion of pasta compared to a HUGE piece of country fried chicken steak. :P

  • Cindy N.

    I agree with some of the other Yelpers in that the staff does not exude the "Aloha spirit" found in many other establishments on the island. My boyfriend got the huge 14-inch blueberry pancakes which other than the shock factor were quite ridiculous. We were told that we could order just one, but it would cost the same. That's one of the major problems that I found with this restaurant is that there were no side orders or smaller plates available. I think that's one of the beauties of Hawaii, being able to get "mini" orders and sharing which was hard to do because there was just so much food. The food itself was good but not great, especially since it is priced higher than other comparable places in Hawaii. The setting was kind of an old diner meet sports bar which was kind of interesting, but I probably would give somewhere else a chance before going there again.

  • Dianne S.

    Pricey diner food. Large Plates are not really large. Only thing I saw large were the pancakes. I ordered the shrimp and calamari appetizer and chicken and waffle combo. Shrimp and calamari were seasoned well and they used a lot of tentacles, which are the best and tastiest parts! However, the chicken and waffles were bland. KFC beats this place with their chicken. They provided only 2 pieces. Being the health freak that I am, did not eat the skin. The meat was like paper. DRY DRY DRY. The waffle was also pretty small. Everyone knows me to nibble and eat in really small bites, but I was able to eat this thing in about 3-5 bites. CMON! This is not comfort food if I can finish it. But the coconut and guava syrups were very good. I like how they are open 24/7, but I don't think anyone's willing to spend that much 24/7.

  • Raul S.

    First off let say I have been going to Mac 24/7 since the very beginning. We would go 4 times a year and since I've moved to Honolulu we go when the mood strikes. It was my very favorite place to eat ever. These days...not so much. Everything used to be handled with such style - now it's like a bad Vegas experience. What the Hell? The last time i was there, a couple at the table behind us was shouting, throwing fits, and berating our waitress the entire time we were there. I came for the cheesy atmosphere not to listen to 2 drunks slur their way through a meal. C'mon what gives - don't serve them - ask them to leave. We got to sit through the entire drama involving the entire place and half of the staff. But tonight we went again for Valentine's Day. My mistake. They weren't having a bad day last visit, they were beginning their slow decline into the Waikiki Hell to sit along side Chili's and Genki Sushi. As soon as we were seated, by someone who originally must of had the day off judging by her outfit, we were welcomed with a server throwing a tantrum and arguing with someone who I think was a manager. Throwing things, stern language, and storming off - it was charming. I think he might have been our server, but I'm not sure because another server came to take our order and he really did act like he was doing us a huge favor. Whoa! Thanks dude I was parched after all of that. Then the food came. It used to be plated with artistic purpose, now it was simply thrown on a plate. Oh so very, very Sizzler-esque! During the meal the tantrum thrower apologized to the couple behind us several times for "all the excitement", never mind us in the slam pit with front row seats. Then we were blessed with an open discussion about the "new bad guy" and the "old bad guy" on staff.. Add to that a 3rd person who came to check on us 5 more times (he was actually the only person in the joint that acted professional ), and finish our check. It was just an awesome experience for Valentine's Day! So in short, it is so the place to go for bad dinner theater, bitter wait staff, and badly plated bland food.

    Well, my first three star review just went down a cold, poor services toilet. Came here a little reluctantly after having a sub-par dinner and a great breakfast. Christmas dinner... Let me rephrase that... A health-code violating Christmas dinner. I was excited to see things like macadamia nut crusted fish, pork ribs and lobster Benedict! Sounds awesome, right?!?... Wrong. Every entree we had was ice cold, even the bisque! What the hell?!?!? We had them put in the microwave, and viola! Edible food. Shortly after we complained to the Sioux chef, all the food at the buffet had appropriate heat and water underneath to maintain a safe eating temperature. Our waitress could not be bothered to clear our table (my mother had to) coffee was dropped, without cream or sugar. Just absolute indifference to their customers, let alone guests at their hotel. We will not only never come back here to eat, but will never stay here again. Horrible horrible time. Everyone beware.

    This review is solely based on the Thanksgiving day buffet. This is the cheapest Thanksgiving day buffet i could find at $42/person & $16 for children 12 & below. I find Mac 24/7 to have a retro type of vibe. It had booths & counter seating & on the other side it looks a little more fancier. Service was good. Our waiter frequently checked in on us. We had a choice of ordering from a Thanksgiving menu or a buffet. We were there for the buffet. The buffet had all the typical thanksgiving foods. For the meats they had prime rib, turkey, & ham. For sides they had mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc.. The dessert choices were pumpkin pie, pecan pie, & their infamous pancakes w/ all types of different toppings. The prime rib was good. The first slice was just the way i like it. Medium rare & juicy. The second time around i asked for medium rare & they gave me well done. I can't eat anything well done. The butternut lobster bisque was good. Thick & flavorful. I love the taro rolls! The mashed potatoes had so much flavor! Dessert was a disappointment. They are known for their pancakes, but it tasted like the kind i can microwave at home. Maybe because they weren't fresh. I'm not opposed to coming here again & trying their regular menu items.

    Service was all right, but the hostess made us wait when the place was more than half empty. She even put our name down on her screen so that we would have a "reservation." So much self importance! Prices are high for what you get. French toast was delicious!! Eggs were not good. Potatoes were too salty. Kalbi was over flavored and not to mention charred. Overall....I would not come back or recommend. We didn't try the pancakes though.

    The food was good but overpriced and underwhelming. Service was not good. Were quoted 30min wait but many tables were opened (about 6-7)- maybe they had some kind of system or were short staffed. Our server raved about the ability of the kitchen to make food in whatever way the customer wants (ie blueberries mixed into the pancakes not just on top) but nothing was correct when it came out. Overall- ok food, too expensive, service needs some help..many better breakfast places in Oahu

    Worst service in my life! Great appetizers, awesome sounding entrees, but walked out couldn't wait any longer. So I may have had high expectations considering it was Valentines day, a Friday night, and my birthday. We came 10 minutes late for a reservation, and I immediately apologized to the hostess and her response was "wait on the side we will get to you". Already we were worried, but understood they might be slamming busy, but we were surprised to see that half the tables in the back were empty. Once seated, we waited a good 10 minutes before anyone came to ask of we wanted drinks. Yes, she brought the water immediately but we waited way too long for my lychee martini and a glass of red wine. As in literally, two tables next to us got seated 10-15 minutes after us and got served drinks by another waitress before we got ours. Hubby and I got to laugh reading the menu over and over again that my top shelf drink must have been really top shelf that they had to bust out a ladder to get it from the "top shelf" or it takes a while to be able to "vigorously shake" that martini. Lucky we ordered appetizers with the drinks. Once we got our apps and drinks (45 minutes into seating, which is long for someone who has left a baby at home for the first time fine dining in over 7 months). The food was great though. It's such a shame for those awesome chefs to waste their talent on subpar service. We got the calamari and shrimp and the braised short ribs and avocado. Let's just say it's like nothing I've ever had before in a good way. The jalapeño and onions fried with the calamari added that kick and elevated the texture of the appetizer. The braised short ribs melt in your mouth and is perfectly paired with the avocado. The worst part was our waitress never checked in on us during the appetizer to order our entrees. We waited so long that after our drinks, appetizers and even glasses of water was empty, we were just making jokes and turned on our phone timer to see how long before our waitress would check on us. If she came to check on us, we would have ordered more, but she didn't. We even bet on it, I waged 2 minutes, hubby waged 5. After 10 minutes, we decided to walk to the hostess to pay out front and leave. Even they were unfriendly and unprofessional. Here comes people paying to you instead of their server, you don't ask how's dinner but just chat with other workers about your night then go "oh so you got the table that ordered drinks and calamari?" Just irritating! The worst part is, we used to live nearby in Waikiki and enjoyed dining here a few times. My mom lives a block away and it's perfect to leave baby there so we could have an adult night out at Mac 24-7. Now I don't think we'll ever be back and recommend this place ever.

    Had the Mac Attack and it was pretty good. The potatoes were salty but the eggs sausage link and bacon were good. The pancakes are slightly better than other places I've had it. Its a huge amount of food, I couldn't finish it in one sitting.

    Service here is just simply bad...... Reservation was at 7:30pm. Got there at 7:29pm, lady at the check-in desk said "you are couple minutes early. I can't sit you right now. You have to wait." ... Excuse me? Hilarious. Never had a restaurant telling me like that. After waiting 20 minutes, we got the table. I just had awkward vibe from the servers. Food used to be good, I don't know why but tonight's meal wasn't good as it used to be. I don't think I will come back. I don't like to be served like this. Even McDonald's cashiers is more smiley and professional than mac247. their Fried Chicken And Waffles changed. i liked the before one.

    Never coming back. Baby spinach salad was not as described. Cheapest tasting excuse. The maple bacon vinaigrette tasted like onion salad dressing. Our previous dinner here was outstanding. This experience was the polar opposite. None of us were remotely impressed with our food or service. One yelper described the food tasting like it was prepared by teenagers working the kitchen and not the chefs listed. This is 100% accurate.

    Checked in here for the first time and got a discount on the MacAno Eruption.. 32oz of rum blends, juices, and happiness going through your veins as you take a sip.. Had the Island Rueben.. Corned Beef and kahlua pork, YES PLEASE!

    Went here for a Christmas Day Brunch after being turned away by long lines at other places around Waikiki. Ordered the Christmas 4 course special and an Eggs Benedict. We were seated almost immediately. This is one of those places where the availability of the food makes up for it's quality. The menu is pretty big. Service was A-OK. Wouldn't write home about this place. But hey, its open 24/7.

    I came here not too long ago to try this restaurant out again after a so-so visit the last time. I wanted to give them another try because the food and drinks were pretty tasty and the ambiance is excellent. We dropped my car off at the valet and off we went. I had high hopes for the evening- I was looking forward to a good experience. We approached the host stand and stood there for a good 10 minutes. No one even acknowledged us during that time :( I figured maybe the host (or hostess) was seating someone or something, so we continued to wait. Finally, a gentleman came over and sat us. This time my boyfriend and I sat in an area with a lovely view of the outside and a very comfortable table. We sit down and wait a bit, looking over the menu. A waitress comes by and says she will be with us in just a minute. No problem. We ponder all the delicious looking items and make some decisions on what sounds good. Then, we wait. And wait. Oh, and did I mention we waited? We were sitting at the table for 20 minutes with no service. And, the worst part is that I am not exaggerating. How do I know? I had nothing better to do than play games on my phone and look at the clock wondering if we were ever going to get service, or a water at least. Something similar to this happened at our last visit - where we were stuck waiting. Finally, I see a host/bus boy come by and I tell him we are leaving because it had been at least 20 minutes and we hadn't even received water or seen our waitress since she first greeted us. They young boy tried to remedy the situation (bless his heart) by apologizing and offering to get us water immediately and grab our server. We tell him thank you but no thank you. As we are leaving, the manager/host (the gentleman who seated us) doesn't even say a word, or ask us why we were leaving so soon. You would think he would at least inquire? I don't know. We leave disappointed, hungry and thirsty :( I was really looking forward to a good experience. Instead, that was just 30 minutes of my life that I won't get back. I think the valet was more helpful than anyone I encountered in the restaurant. As we were leaving, at least the valet boys took note - "Wow, leaving so soon? That was only like 30 minutes- that must have been a quick bite!" No, sadly there was none and it looks like there never will be in the future either. :(

    We went there last night with a party of 3 hoping to get a Mai Tai and some good food. We were sat inmeaditly as there wasn't too many people and then waited for service, and waited and waited. Finally ordered a MaiTai and 15 mins later still never received as I watched the bartender make everyone else's drinks, I finally canceled it. We ordered and our appetizers never come out, so our food comes and we tell waitress to cancel the appetizers. We get our check and they still have the double Mai Tai @ $18 and the appetizer on the check. Come on seriously. Bad bad service! Can't tell you how the drinks were but wish I could. Food was good.

    Ever since I heard about the pancake eating challenge years ago, I've been wanting to come here. I finally did. And I was super disappointed. The decor is modern but the lighting is on the darker side. Service isn't very good-- the servers are nice but our beer didn't come until we were almost done with the meal and there were other timing issues. The food is overpriced but I guess it's because this is Waikiki and I'm sure the restaurant has to pay the Hilton an exorbitant amount for the space. I ordered the loco moco-- the portion was large but everything was mediocre. The hamburger patty looked and tasted like it was a frozen Angus patty from Costco and the gravy tasted like it had been reconstituted from powder. My friend ordered the cheeseburger and fries-- same frozen patty. Meh.

  • Rick P.

    We visited on Christmas night. That might explain why our food took forever to come out and then all of my food was cold. The BF's food was hot so mine obviously sat there for a while. The deep fried spare rib appetizer was really good with a slightly spicy sauce that we loved. I had the spare ribs for my entree which were pretty good, but none of the sauce we loved from the app. The bf had the chicken fried steak. It was OK. The 7 cheese Mac n cheese was really good! Our waitress was Pam and she was great very friendly and informative. I felt it was a little overpriced,but not necessarily expensive for Waikiki. If you are staying at the hotel or nearby its worth a try. Doubt I will be back since there are other great restaurants in town.

    Nice decor, but that's about it. My excitement grew as we walked to our table. Brightly colored. Lots of natural light. TVs and bar-style seating. Very chic and cool. But after that, everything went downhill. We waited, and waited, and waited for our server to come and give us some water and take our order. We finally asked one of the servers who was clearing the table next to us, and he pointed to a girl and said "ask her, that's your server". I love the team concept. Finally she came around to take our order. And then we waited, and waited, and waited for our food to arrive. Considering the restaurant was half full, I expected the food to come out pretty quick. But I was wrong. Way wrong. And to make matters worse, our waitress did not come around even once to tell us that the order would be out soon. She didn't come around until the food came, and then she stopped by twice to see if we needed anything. Hello. Where were you when we were about to pass out from starvation? As for the food - meh. Mac daddy pancakes were huge, but tasteless. Even with the butter, blueberries and syrup. Chinese chicken salad: small and very mainland style (I've never seen alfalfa sprouts on a chinese chicken salad before). Freestyle Eggs - very ordinary and small portion And on our way out, none of the hostesses said "thank you" or "good bye".

    Loved the ambiance of the place as like a modern diner and in the back it opens to a small waterfall area. Service was pretty quick to and friendly. They serve you your pancakes by rolling up with a cart and remove the metal lid, and behold your monstrous pancake pile! We got the mac stack challenge but shared amongst 4 hungry post surfers and still couldnt finish. We just came in for brunch time in our swimsuits and they were super cool in letting us roll in dressed as is. pancakes were great and its fun to watch as neughboring customers try to attack the piles of pancakes. We wished several people good luck as we dined alongside.

  • Eder R.

    This restaurant was awesome. The atmosphere the fun service and mostly the food. The Mac attack breakfast was perfect. Toasted not soggy French toast, crispy bacon, and potatoes with onions and garlic were a perfect combination. Our server/bartender peter was great as well. We will definitely be back!

  • Deano G.

    Okay, this was one of the restaurants in out hotel.... It had some high points, and some low points. Let's star with the highlights. The Mac and cheese & the meatloaf, and from what I could tell, the pancakes (I didn't have the pancakes, but they looked amazing). The downside.... The burgers and the wings. Extremely average (and that's being nice. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was okay (quote from my gal). The service was informative and friendly, but slow. Now the server that was in charge of the lounge was killer. Sweet and very informative when it came to other local spots to check out. Koodos to you and mahaol for the advise!

    Love this place! Every time I visit I am greeted by an amazing staff! Myles on the pool deck by far my favorite, going above and beyond to get my girlfriend and I pickles for our beer! If your from Hawaii you get that only a few places serve speared pickles. This bar typically doesn't, however Myles took a walk to the kitchen for us and surprised us! I served in a restaurant for years and i was shocked by his dedication to make us happy! This event took place a little over a month ago and so began my addiction to Mac 24/7. I have yet to meet an employee there that hasn't made me walk away with a smile. Ok now for the important stuff; Alcohol=bangin the Mac volcano thingy! Ridiculous, one and your done! Remember to check in so you get it half off, best part you can use the check in discount every time you GO!!! When you get to the end of this drink, just close your eyes, don't look back and chug! Bacardi... Yikes! Food; breakfast- I recommend the breakfast potatoes. So good, not dry like other places, pair it with a bloody and you have a great start to your day! Pupus- definitely the ahi tacos! You can't go wrong with anything ahi! Things to eat- MAC N CHZ. Hands down I love the noodles with da cheese! :) this is always my go to for my cheat days... Screw chocolate when you can have cheese. If you are just looking to grab a few drinks check out the lobby bar, different band playing every night. Always great music you can sing along to, and you get to enjoy the gorgeous landscape off to the right of the bar! Overall great atmosphere, employees are great, food is epic, and alcohol; well you can never go wrong there. :) Cheers

    Love this place they have great pancakes and in a decent location. Not to mention they have a 5lb pancake challenge you might have seen on man vs food. Service can be spotty but all in all pretty good. Parking is easy thou when you pull out you will scrap your bumper due to the angle.

  • Hong L.

    The service here at night can be a bit slow since they only have two or three servers for the late night shift; however, their drinks and food are worth the wait unless the kitchen is busy and the quality decreases. I personally like the 'Boneless Hawaiian Rib-eye steak' with mash potatoes and brownies for dessert. I have never done the Mac Pancake challenge yet since I'm not a fan of pancakes. Instead of the pancake challenge me and my friends created our own alcohol challenge 'The Mac-cano cocktail' challenge in which each of us order one for ourselves and see who can finish the drink faster. With the check-in on yelp the Mac-cano Eruption cocktail is $9 instead of the regular $18 which is meant to be drank by two or three people. The portion size for the food is big enough to feed most guys and is definitely enough to feed two people that have small appetite. The best night to dine in at Mac would be Wednesday since is industrial worker night in which you can get 50% off on food by showing them your blue card or pay stub to prove that you work in the food service industry. Usually they close dinning room area and only leave a few table by the bar area for customers at midnight, however, on Wednesday is open so there is definitely a table for you if you want to go for a late night snack or for a few drink.

    First Time At This Place And I Don't Even Want To Go Back. Salty Food, Salty Service, Even The Guy Server Looks Salty. If You Don't Like Your Job Then Find A New One !!!! He Only Checked on us once and the restaurant was not even packed. He Never Even Ask If We Wanted Desert. He Just Droped The Check and walked away. If I Was You More Better Go McDonald's!!! With Better Service and Better Food!!!! I Been A Server For 6 Years So I Know What Good Customer Service Means and Also Good Food I Have 2 Years In Culinary Arts Background.

    Ordered room service from this place since I was staying in the hotel. The first 15 minutes passed before I got a call saying they lost my order. I then placed another order in which Kristin mentioned that it would be less of a wait if I ordered take out oppose to room service. I confirmed someone would call the room when it was ready. They didn't! After an hour I decided to go down only to see my order sitting there on the side. I asked the server Christopher if it had been sitting long ( as I didn't want to pay $22 for a cold sandwich that was meant to be warm) he said not long. As soon as I get to my room I discover that's whole order is cold. When I called they put me on hold for a good 5 minutes so I decided to walk it down. When I did the manager claimed to have called me several times. The menu looked delicious but the service was so bad that I returned the cold plate and refused to wait another "35-40 minutes" for another.

    I'm not into monster portions but spotted a dessert that tantalized me on the web menu. Grabbed a gal pal & ventured to Waikiki to taste the concoction. Xangos is cheesecake and bananas wrapped in crisp pastry, with ice cream and caramel sauce. Does that sound delightful? Yes. Taste delightful? No. Sooo very sad! The pastry wasn't crisp, it was soft & chewy, ick. Didn't taste any banana. And if you're into huge portions, the dessert is a normal size & could use more ice cream. So much for my happy ending. It was a brain tease instead of an orgasmic encounter. I liked the ambiance of Mac 24/7 because it had a loungy feel & we had a table looking out to the lawn which was empty at night.

    Went there hungry and came away satisfied. Food was excellent. Everyone at the table loved what they got. The Elvis pancakes were the best pancakes I've ever had. Make sure you valet at the Hilton as parking is only $3 with purchase of the meal. Would defiantly go there again.

  • Wendy C.

    Beautiful view of the Hilton courtyard/garden as you dine. The food is a little hit or miss. We ordered crabcakes, chicken wings, country fried steak and chicken and waffles. I didn't care for the crabcakes, chicken wings or the country fried steak as all were bland and lacked flavor, but somehow the chicken and waffles managed to pull through the rest. The waffles were so nice and crispy yet light and airy while the fried chicken was some of the crispiest chicken pieces I have ever had. If you come here, you must get this!

    So glad a friend recommended this place for our breakfast get together. Another plus was that it was in walking distance from our hotel! My husband and I got some drinks while we waited. He had a mango smoothie and I had a blueberry smoothie. Both were delicious and more than enough! I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was just awesome from start to finish. Unfortunately I don't remember what my husband got, but I know it had some chicken steak with gravy. Both were perfect portions and we ate down to the plate. The prices were reasonable and the service was great. The atmosphere was bright and perfect for a morning start. I would recommend this place for others :)

  • Cynthia Y.

    Very mediocre food. Everyone's food looked so good but everything didn't have any flavor at all =( The only thing that tasted good was probably the pancakes. I got the guava lemonade and it was way too sweet and tasted too artificial. One person tried to do the MacDaddy challenge, FAIL lol the pancakes were ginormous! The macadamia coconut pancake was pretty yummy especially with the coconut syrup! But wow, that pancake could probably feed an entire family breakfast for 2.2 weeks straight lol. Overpriced, very touristy and nothing spectacular. So sad I wasted a meal in Honolulu at this place.

    Went here because my fiance wanted to try the pancake challenge. When we went, it was late and night, lots of open tables and it took a while to get seated. The food was good, but nothing special. Had biscuits and gravy (pretty tasty). The pancake challenge is way bigger than you would ever expect. You can choose what type of pancakes to eat. They weigh about 5 pounds. Good to take home and eat the next day, and the day after that, an you'll still probably have some leftovers.

    We went at 11:00 pm on a Friday night, right after I got off work. First of all, the hostess told us it would be about a 30 minute wait, but may be shorter. We only had to wait about 8 minutes, though. It's really cool that they take your phone number and text you when your table is ready (so you can wait in the spacious and comfortable hotel lobby). I ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese combination, with a side of sweet potato fries. My boyfriend ordered the poke tacos to start and the ribeye steak for dinner. The soup and grilled cheese were really good. The poke tacos were pretty good too. The steak, on the other hand, was not a great cut of meat (very uneven in thickness and gristle-y) and while he ordered it medium rare, it came out bloody rare. Our entrees came before the appetizer, though, even though the server had specifically asked if we would like the appetizer first. (We said yes.) The sweet potato fries didn't come until 18 minutes after the rest of our food. We were already done eating by the time they came, so our server was nice enough to take them off the bill, which was only reasonable. We wanted to enjoy them with the rest of our food. I did try one, though, and they weren't even very good. My boyfriend's beer was only slightly cool too. All in all, the service was mediocre, some of the food was good, and some of the food had major issues. $3 valet parking in the Hilton hotel.

    Wrongfully avoided this place for half the week during our stay at the Hilton Wakiki, thinking it was an overpriced, usual hotel restaurant, the food and service were amazing. I dream about the Elvis Mac daddy cakes still. Three giant pancakes loaded with bacon, peanut butter sauce, fluffiness, and that's what they call the short stack! I'm an eater and I never made it past 3/4, though I wished I could. Shout out to the wait staff who kept my coffee cup full, by constantly "warming it up" and for their knowledge of the menu. Great people. Great breakfast.

  • T F.

    Such a disappointment! I ordered the mac nut mahi. It was so bland & I'm usually not one to need salt but this entire dish needed salt. My husband got the chicken fried steak and it was OK but the Mac n cheese side dish was also bland. I'm from the south, so I know a good Mac n cheese or at least a decent one. This was not either. Too much money spent and not one thing was good. The pancake Elvis style was over rated as well. My husband didn't really care for it. I didn't try it because I'd already been disappointed in everything else so I didn't want to try it. I would skip this place and not be moved by sing it on the Food Network.

    The food here Is pretty impressive!!! We ate here numerous times on our stay (we were staying in the hotel ) all I can say is wow. The food here is delicious. Breakfast, lunch or dinner even just the midnight sweet snack or drink. All was absolutely outstanding. I had an array of food to choose from considering each time we went everyone got something different so we could taste it all. Everything delicious, there was nothing I did not like. If you have an opportunity you must try this place. My favorite dinner :was the beef stew with rice. Best dessert: the red velvet waffle with ice cream. Favorite breakfast: MAC attack with pancakes. The only reason I did not give this place five stars is because the staff is hit and miss. 50% of the time we had an awesome experience with the staff and the other 50% of the time the staff (mainly the hostesses) were just oblivious, rude, inattentive or timid.

    My fiancé and I visited during our trip (back home) in April 2010. I requested the spot because I saw the episode of Man vs Food starring, my now archenemy, Adam Richman. I hope they enjoyed their undeserved fame because I'm certain everyone knows how terrible it is now. Worst pancakes I've had yet. Ingredients were not fresh (canned pineapples IN Hawaii? Really?) and were tossed on top and in between the gigantic, bland, and dry pancakes rather than folded into the batter before cooked. I also tried the Seared Ahi Tuna with Kimchee Fried Rice and saying it was a disappointment would be an understatement. The rice was dry and the kimchee was nonexistent. And the ahi didn't seem fresh that particular evening, another odd mishap. Oh, and the 45-minute to an hour wait didn't help either. P.S. Adam Richman is a liar (unless the pancakes they made for him on the Honolulu episode was a completely different and superior recipe).

    Came to eat breakfast here at 4 AM in the morning due to jet lag. It's pretty easy to find inside the Hilton hotel. I'm glad that there is a 24 hr diner other than Denny's on Waikiki. I ordered the eggs Benedict which was really yummy. The waiters are very friendly and refilled my coffee non stop as I waited for my Dad to join me at 7am. Prices are reasonable and you will feel a lot safer than dining at Denny's alone. Definitely try them for breakfast!

  • K B.

    I don't care what the yelp elite say, if you are in Waikiki, this is a must for breakfast! The customer service is always excellentand the food is really good. I know that the portion size is kind of a gimmick but the flavors are well developed. It is a bit pricey for breakfast but the ingredients are all top shelf. I strongly recommend the eggs benedict and a bloody Mary.

    (5)

  • Margo B.

    Want to be treated like a valued customer? don't come here... If you arrive ten minutes early for your reservation, and there are obviously empty tables, you get punished and made to stand in the hall for ten minutes. Service once you are seated depends on how busy the kitchen is. Some of the food is good, but I'm not willing to put up with the other problems; there are too many other places to go...

  • Maria B.

    Great for breakfast! My husband and I split the bananas foster short stack and it was huge. Three big pancakes with bananas, chocolate ganache sauce and candied walnuts. Full-size was seen on Man Vs Food, so you might want to stick with the short stack... Great taste.

    (3)

  • Andy U.

    We tried this restaurant because it was featured on Man vs Food. The challenge was very intimidating, so we ordered the smaller sized pancakes with their specialty toppings. It was nothing amazing or out if the ordinary. It just another restaurant in a hotel.

  • Dave P.

    I just landed from a 14 hour journey from New York and this was one of the only restaurants open. I ordered the ahi tuna with fried rice. The tuna was sushi grade and rare and melted in my mouth. The fried rice kicked ass but I'd prefer if they left out the Pork. The waiter was super nice and told us all the cool places to go visit.

    Mac 24/7 in Waikiki's Hilton Hotel purports good food & good service 24 hours. Wrong and wrong again. I've had better service, and better food, at 7-11. NO JOKE. Recently went with my girlfriend to eat. 1. Hostess made us wait 15 minutes to be seated. 2. Chicken Caesar's salad* came in 30 minutes and 3. we waited another 30 for dinner that came as we were leaving to find a real restaurant. *And, the sliced, pale, white, unflavored chicken breast strips in top the salad were barely defrosted and made styrofoam sound appetizing. By chance, my girlfriend went to breakfast there with friends two days later. She reports the waiter never brought water and, when she asked for a glass 30 minutes later, he gave her total attitude. Their Eggs Benedict Florentine was "horrible - worst I've ever tasted!". Wake up, Hilton Hotels! Gut MAC 24/7 & put in a 7-11 store. At least it will be fast, flavorful and managed professionally, lol!

  • Misty T.

    The food was not as good as I would expect when they list a head chef and sous chef right on the menu. I always get eggs Benedict at breakfast places because its my favorite. The sauce is made fresh, but it tasted like someone just melted butter on top of my eggs. I prefer the fresh made sauce at cinnamons restaurant in kailua. I understand the location being in Waikiki is going to pretend to be more than it is for vacationers( we felt out of place walking in with sandals, shorts and t-shirts)... But I was just not impressed. Also my boyfriends steak was ordered medium but cooked well......chili's can cook a medium steak consistently, why can't a "upper scale" restaurant do it? I'll probably be back because it wasn't horrible (my bf has to do the Mac daddy challenge) but deffinately making different menus choices.

  • Connie L.

    Open 24 hours, convenient but the food reflects it. I ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. The soup was good but the sandwich was sad. My husband had the loco moco, decent. DO NOT order the saimin unless you want a bowl of salt. Seriously, it's that bad. Our friends had frequented this place enough for us to get a comped calamari appetizer. Bonus point for acknowledging us! The food is just ok, service is ok, I wouldn't come back.

  • Bobby B.

    Been meaning to go to this place for a while now, but we rarely go into Waikiki just to go eat so this past weekend was our first opportunity since we had to kill some time... and since this is one of the few places that is open at midnight. The reservation system was very easy... log on and select a time. The humbug part with this building has always been the parking... it sucks! When we got there just before mid-night the sign said parking was full and only for guests. Spent some time 'driving around' and ended up across the street at the Pacific Beach parking structure and forced to pay the $10.00 an hour rate. In terms of food prices... sort of reminds me of an overpriced Anna Millers... local food menu catered for the tourist crowd. I ordered the $14 saimin... to keep it simple... as who can screw up saimin?!?! Food overall was not spectacular... edible, but for the price you are paying I somewhat expected something better. Also... when I asked for some 'hot mustard' to go with the saimin... I was given some sort of 'sweet sauce' ?!?! ... at that point I gave up. The only reason why I gave 2 stars is that our waitress was very nice. We noticed an other party not so happy as after waiting for about 15 minutes after being seated and not tended to... they walked out. Again... for local people... this is what you call a 1 time try and no go back place.

    The wait took FOREVER! So disappointed. Had a bachelorette dinner , reserved way in advanced and it was very disappointing. Waited over 45 minute for our meal . In total it took about 3 hours and most of it was waiting. Couldn't even drink socially cause it took forever to get any one to come and serve us. I literally had to flag down the waitress each time. So frustrating. Worst thing ...not even a full house. Plenty of open seating. No wait to get a table. Pretty ridiculous. If it was packed I would understand but there is no excuse. My friend got yelled at by the guy at the bar asking for service too.

    Horrible food. The chicken fried steak is really just a hamburger not a steak. I ate 1 bite and that's it, but the waitress didn't even notice. The Mac and cheese was pretty horrible as well!! Even a bit drunk this food wasn't satisfying. I thought if take it home and eat it the next day, but it was still horrible!!

    Thought the pancakes would not taste good due to the size of the challenge. Pancakes were delicious! A must! It will feed everyone at the table!

    I came here for the first time last night with a few friends. We had all heard about their giant pancakes and wanted to try it. Our waiter told us that there were 5 different flavors, and recommended the Cinnamon Streusel & Banana Foster. After looking through the menu, my friends and I decided not to take his suggestions and ordered the Elvis (bacon, bananas & peanut butter) instead. Our waiter said, "uhhh...are you sure? The Cinnamon Streusel & Banana Foster ones are really good." I told him that I don't like walnuts and the Banana Foster comes with walnuts. He said that they can put the walnuts on the side, which was nice of him to offer that. But in the end, my friends and I decided to get the Cinnamon Streusel and all 4 of us very clearly said, "We'll get the Cinnamon Streusel." 10 minutes later, our pancakes arrived and while we were impressed by how large they were (size of a pizza), we were also confused as to why there were bananas all over it. We asked the waitress who brought us the pancakes if that was the Cinnamon Streusel and she said, "No. You ordered Banana Foster with walnuts on the side." Then we told her that we decided on the Cinnamon one. She takes it away and talks to our waiter on the side. A minute later, she brings back the Banana pancakes and says, "There must have been some miscommunication because your waiter said you ordered the Banana Foster with walnuts on the side. I can make you a Cinnamon one, but it will be a 30-minute wait." This was a lie, because we only waited 10 minutes the first time. She was exaggerating the wait time to discourage us from asking them to remake it. We didn't want to wait that long, so we said that it's fine and we will just have the banana one. For the rest of our meal, our waiter AVOIDED our table. He serviced all the tables around us and checked in on them, but not us. He knew he messed up and didn't want to come by. At the end of our meal, he finally came by to refill our empty water glasses and said a casual, "Sorry about that." Then our bill came, and we expected to have some sort of discount but nope. Instead of a discount, they charged us full price and even added on a sharing fee for everyone in my party when one of my friends did not share the pancake with us!! We will not be back because of this poor customer service. Usually, when a waiter gets the order wrong, he should apologize right away and offer to give us a new one as soon as possible, OR give a discount. Instead, they pretty much gave us two options: 1) eat something we didn't order or 2) wait a long time for the right order. Also, if a customer doesn't order one of their recommendations, they shouldn't act like we were making a wrong decision. If he had let us order the Elvis like we wanted to, none of this would have happened.

    Had a hard day at work and wanted a late night meal! Great atmosphere and good music! Wanted something nice after a hard day at work and this place has it at all hours of the night so it was nice to have a little treat for myself! Had some great service from Dorothy at night and she let us know about all the food that we were interested in! Definitely interested in industry night and I will definitely return! Mahalo Dorothy!!

    If you get a chance, come down here. The food comes out hot and fresh and the service is second to none. My friends and I came after a LONG hula practice and needed to unwind after a late night and Dorothy was on point! She was friendly and personable and even with all the modifications we asked for our order she remembered it to the tee! She made our night. Mahalo Dorothy!

    It was about 9:30 tonight and my bf and I were starving but we couldn't find anywhere that was open. So we googled to see what was open and decided to check out Mac 24/7. However, we both have been here once before but couldn't think of anything memorable so decided to try again. And I'm glad we did. I ordered the burger which has to be one of the best tasting burgers I've had. It was juicy. I added mushrooms and white cheddar and it came with a fried pickle and a choice of fries or onion rings. $15. $1 for add ons. Homygosh! I have never been so happy over a burger. My bf decided to get the mahimahi plate and he loved it. The jasmine rice and flavors of the fish were just perfect. I gave one star less than 5 only because the service was very slow. Our server was very nice but she rarely came by and we actually really wanted dessert but ended up not getting any because she never came back. But other than that...I will most definitely be coming back for another late night meal!:)

    There are only two times when I decide to go to Mac 24/7: 1) when I want cheap valet parking to explore Waikiki or 2) when I'm craving pancakes because I'm too drunk and don't remember where I parked in the first place. The Mac 24/7 bar is in the hotel lobby while the actual restaurant is downstairs. Valet parking is $3 with validation, which I think is extremely affordable for parking in Waikiki. The bar is very casual, has comfortable seating, live music, and an older crowd. Pretty much what you would expect from a hotel lobby bar. When you check in on Yelp, there's some sort of deal going on where the MAC-cano Eruption Cocktail is half off. It's a 32 ounce blended cocktail with Bacardi rum and fruit juices. I barely finished it because it was too much for me. You can also order food from the restaurant at the hotel lobby bar if you ask for a menu. We were still full from earlier and decided to only get fries and fried calamari. Standard flavor, standard bar food portions. Nothing really wowed me there. I also go and dine at the restaurant when I'm hungry for some pancakes. The portions are EXTREMELY large and can make for leftovers for the next week. Only come alone and eat the pancakes if you're doing the challenge. If not, come with friends so the bill is cheaper and there are less leftovers.

    My friends and I went to eat around 10am for some brunch, which is a pretty good time to go. They are just starting to fill up before lunch, but are still serving breakfast at this time. Service was good, I think we had a very lively and welcoming waiter. We all ordered a plate and decided to share the red velvet pancakes between the 4 of us. The portions are very generous! Probably a little heavier than expected. They don't serve that much rice on their breakfast menu. So if you're a local who loves to eat rice with everything (like myself), you can order the fried rice omelet, which was not too bad. Everything comes with potatoes though. The red velvet pancakes were ok, not what I was expecting. It seemed a little flat and burnt, but the bourbon maple glazed sauce and whipped bailey's irish cream as sides were on point! Overall, good experience for my second visit to this restaurant. I want to go back to try their specialty drinks that seemed pretty tempting!

    I had high expectations for this place needless to say is many things those were unfulfilled. Saw this place on the Travel Channel with their humongous pancakes so wanted to give it a try. First took forever to get greeted and sat than once sat it was like forever again before we saw a waiter. We ended up not ordering one of the pancakes as we saw a couple on the tables and they are enormous. Food was okay nothing great not something they should be raving about on the Travel Channel. But if you seen it on TV like me you want to give it a try but make sure you order the pancake and give yourself plenty of time to deal with the slow service.

    I went solely on the "Man vrs Food" challenge which peaked my curiosity. Mac 24/7 is located inside the Hilton hotel on Kuhio ave, you'll see the directional sign in front of the parking entrance. Modern coffee shop type restaurant serving a variety of breakfast & other non-breakfast dishes, but i came her for the humongous pancakes and boy was I not disappointed. Pancakes were big, big, & bigger, you would need a whole stick of butter & a quart of syrup to finish these gut busters off. Fortunately I'm not as stupid as I look and only finished about a 1/4 and saved the rest for my always hungry relatives. Now I know why Adam gave up his gig and decided to now go with "Man vrs Food Nation" finding other hapless saps to take up the food challenges

    If you like pancakes, then this place is five stars. I don't eat pancakes, but I appreciate that it's a 24 hour food joint in Waikiki. The service can be slow but again how many places have all night service. I usually order the burger which is good. It's a good place to eat when you are alone. One time i ate at the counter and a woman sat down next to and proceeded to pick me up. Just for that, they should get five stars!

    You can already guess by the name that it's open - wait for it.... 24/7. The only times I'd been to Mac were when my friends and I celebrated birthdays (one trip included my own). Located at the lobby level of Hilton Waikiki's Prince Kuhio Hotel, it's a hot spot for pre-gaming before hitting the club, or a late night rendezvous after the fact. I'm a fan of the vibe, the drinks, and the food. It's a plus for a restaurant to have private spaces. With the open floor plan, they have the ability to separate small to large parties using floor to ceiling curtains. I can't say that I'm completely in love with the place, because it's lost a little bit of its charm when people started raving about it over and over. I'm not particularly crazy about that, so I had to deduct a star. Well that, and service is a tad slower for my taste.

  • Evan F.

    I have to say, this is a 1-star restaurant in my opinion. Our wonderful waitress (I wish I remembered her name) allowed me to give 2 stars. We made reservations but felt foolish when we showed up and the host looked at is in a "why would you make a reservation" sort of way. Next, we were seated immediately but a waiter was not sent to our table for at least a hot ten minutes. So, no water and no drinks for 10 minutes.. We finally asked a wandering waitress if we could be helped and were sent a woman who completely turned around our experience. She was great and made very helpful suggestions! Aside from this Godsend, our experience continued to be awful. The five of us thought the dishes to be appropriately sized but lacking quality ingredients for the price (i.e. one entree was topped with crumbled goldfish). Goldfish. Luckily, the drinks were strong (try the "queen bee") and our waitress was pure gold. Will not be back.

    UPDATE!!! My boyfriend and I came back here because we were starving after work at 1:30am and I wanted to have a drink but not at a bar and mac 24/7 was the only choice. My boyfriend joked on the way there saying "are we gonna go there just so you can b*tch about your alfredo pasta again?" Lol oops :/ I ordered the guava cocktail which was ok. Not as strong as I like but I usually get martinis + I worked a 15 hour day & wanted lots of alcohol, so that's not they're fault. For my food I got the seared ahi with fried rice... SO GOOD!!! They sweet sauce on the ahi is amazing, the fried rice is delicious and it comes with veggies. I have this rule when I eat out I always take half home but that definitely did not happen this time. My boyfriend got the chicken fried steak with mac&cheese which was amazing as well. I usually don't like chicken fried steak but this wasn't oily or too crusty and the sauce wasn't usual white gravy and it was so good!! I'm so glad I came back because I have a whole new view on Mac 24/7 now. Yay!

    Mac 24/7 is right across from where I live so it's my "go to" restaurant. I love so many things about it: open 24 hours, reasonable prices, imaginative menu, terrific service. Portions are large but the staff is gracious about sharing. It's one of the places I take all my visitors!!

  • Clay B.

    Pulled pork w/ pineapple kimchi is fantastic. Meatloaf was good too. Service is god-awful, though--almost to the point that I would actively tell people not to go there. I might've been there at bad times but I went at least 6 times over a span of 2 weeks, during my stay across the street. Sorry guys, good food is not the only thing you need.

  • Amanda G.

    Best.Pancakes.Ever. Seriously. We went in while vacationing and couldn't be happier we did. My son and Husband got the Blueberry and Vanilla Gaze pancakes to share. I figured with their huge appetites that they could finish. I wish I would have just shared because between the 3 of us, we didn't even get halfway. My French toast was good, but did not compare to the wonderful goodness of those pancakes. Service was great. All staffers were friendly and attentive.

    My friends and I decided to pay a visit to this place after seeing it on Man vs. Food. NOTE: It is located inside a hotel, so don't be confused if you get to the location and don't see it right off the street. I believe it was inside the Prince Kuhio hotel. My friends and I were very impressed on the decor/overall presence of this place! For a 24/7 restaurant it was pretty trendy and modern. Definitely not like your typical 24/7 like Denny's. We were instantly pleased with the place just because we loved the appearance of it. Service was good. It took us awhile to get our food, but it wasn't TOO unbearable. 3 out of the 4 of us got the Mac Attack. It came with 3 pancakes with the toppings of your choice, eggs, sausage, bacon, and potatoes. I got mine with the pineapple/toasted coconut/roasted macadamia nut pancakes. They were to die for! Perfectly cooked with just a slight crunchiness around the edges which was amazing. The potatoes were also very tasty. My friend who didn't get the Mac Attack decided to pull an Adam Richmond and went for the entire plate of pancakes. It was a HUGE plate with FOUR LBS. OF PANCAKES. It was ginormous! He only managed to finish 1/6th of the pancakes! I highly recommend NOT ordering the pancake-only dish because you will not finish it unless you have a giant stomach. Adam Richmond from Man vs. Food didn't even beat the challenge. Overall we were VERY satisfied with our food. We loved the place so much that we decided to return a second time! I got the white cheddar mac n' cheese which was delicious, but it just couldn't beat the Mac Attack that I had the first time. If I ever come back, I definitely want to get that again. At the front they have a wall with all of the winners of the pancake challenge! If you've got a big appetite, you might wanna stop by here to see if you're up to the challenge :)

    Yes, I'm going to admit that I came here after watching man vs food. I got the stacks of 14" blueberry pancakes. When the food was placed in front of me, I knew instantly that there is NO way I will be finishing that! The funny thing was that a lady who was sitting at the bar approached our table and flat out asked: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm from Europe, and am not aware if the Americans all eat this much food, do you?" I said no, we're sharing, as I turned to my friends who were about to bust out laughing. Looking back at that day, I think that I would have enjoyed the breakfast more if I had ordered a different main dish, then shared the pancakes with the rest of the gang. But no... My entire breakfast WERE the pancakes. After eating an eighth of the pancake, I was getting tired of eating the same thing. I asked for a piece of bacon from a friend's plate, and then was able to finish quarter of the pancake. No more. I like the fact that this place is open 24/7... Heard that the eggs Benedict is good, so next time I'll try that!

    Excellent food. Coming back from a long day of Hanauma Bay snorkeling and climbing the Koko Crater Tram, we decided to stop at Mac. We had read mixed reviews, so we were not sure what to expect. It did not disappoint. The Elvis pancakes were great. Our party also ordered the bake potato soup, turkey avocado club, and the deep fried rib bites. All were very good. We loved the atmosphere in the Waikiki Hilton.

    We are regulars at Mac 24/7. After this weeks breakfast, we will never be returning. The service has gotten so bad and the food is now terrible, they spiked their prices and changed the menu. So disappointed in the place now.

  • Pete S.

    Yes I'm back from the islands but if you are in Waikiki and want to do what the tourists do, come here. It's location inside the hilton. You can park it with the valet and tell them you're here for Mac24/7. They will charge you $3 for 3 hour validation. Ordered the Mac-Cano, yes it is a BIG ASS drink at 10am. It has absinthe, Barcadi 151, guava puree, and load of ice cubes. Don't drink this if you are not a fan of licorice. It is quite strong, but then again, I'm a lightweight and a cheap date. Do order the pancakes here but don't be a fool and take on the challenge. It is a lot. You will have to be rolled out of here. I actually had the poke sandwich and the MacCano, and 1/4 of the $15 pancakes here. (Yes, I was fine. Since I was still on mainland time, it was like a Sunday Brunch) The pancakes here are more than decent, but don't make a special trip just to come here to eat. It's not that special. This place has that nightclub vibe, with the TVs on the walls, the retro carpet, and the long ass wait. Oh, and if you are getting your pancakes to-go, it will be stored inside a cake-box. How's that for leftover?

    I am in love with the food here everything is so good but as far as the service not the greatest. I don't like to have to wait for refills & really don't like not knowing who my my waiter/waitress is I am a very very good tipper but both times I went I tipped the bare minimum because of the service I received.

    Come on folks. The food here is really really good. I've eaten here several times and each meal has been very tasty. The pancakes are the BEST I've ever had . Anywhere. I've also had good service each time. I do sit a the bar to eat and Axel the bartender has been attentive. I wish this restaurant was at home because I would eat here all the time.

    Any place that is open 24/7 needs a WHOOHOOO review! Stop hating.... One werrrrd of advice, do not order the pancakes. They will make you full just by looking at them when they come out, LOL. The Adobo is fabulous, the Onion salad, the Saimin is amazing....the Club Sando....pretty much everything is legit. Enjoy!

    I'm keeping this short and simple. Parking is horrible. Food was decent. Service was pretty good. I loved the large coffee cups. Mac 24/7 is just a fancy breakfast/lunch diner. Nothing special except the interior design. Chicken Fried Steak - not bad White Cheddar Mac n Cheese - s'okay Coffee - delicious and served in a large latte cup. Would I go back? Only if I'm desperately hungry in Waikiki at 3am.

    I was so excited to hear that we were going to go to this place after seeing it on man vs. food. Ive always wanted to try and do a food challenge and this one just seemed too easy because I love pancakes. Came here on a saturday morning for some brunch. Wasn't crowded at all and got seated fairly quickly. The place is located inside a hotel so as you walk by dont think that you took down the wrong address or directions. Service was decent and our waiter was very nice. Sorry for the people who had bad experiences here, I guess i got the luck of the draw on service. Anyways I ordered the elvis mac attack, which was my first mistake. To kill 3 huge pancakes you don't really want bacon bits and peanut butter all over the cakes. It makes the challenge completely impossible. If you are serious about trying to win, get a plain blueberry pancake and go light on the syrup. Although I only ate less than half I was very pleased that I got to try the elvis. The thickness and sweetness of the peanut butter and syrup mixed with the saltiness of the bacon was devine. To give an idea of how big these pancakes were, when we asked for the rest to go, they threw in a large cake box. Id probably come back here again when im on the island and try to tackle this baby one more time. Adam lost too so I guess its ok. xxxx. |(o)(o)| ( (__) ) | ( ) | MAC ATTACK CHALLENGE \__/ Jordan

  • Kayla R.

    Mac 24/7 used to be one of my favorite places to get pancakes about 4 years ago. But my recent trip has definitely changed my view on this restaurant. I ordered the Blueberry pancake, LARGE version. yelp.com/biz_photos/rdQE… 3 layers yelp.com/biz_photos/rdQE… You receive 3 different syrups yelp.com/biz_photos/rdQE… My friend and I only ate about a quarter of it. The pancake itself was very good, and not to mention filling for the price. If you're planning on going to breakfast with a big group, then this would be the place to go. Now for the Negative, the blueberries on top of the pancake had a faint taste of garlic. I thought my taste buds were tricking me but I asked my friend if he tasted the same and he agreed. Also where we were sitting the roof had little droplets of water, that fell onto my plate, and most likely into the pancake. So at that point I lost my appetite. *Customer service is really good. *Parking via Valet is $3.00 w/ Validation

    My friend saw this restaurant on man vs. food and we decided to come here while we we were in Hawaii. The pancakes are literally 4 lbs. It's quite a site!! However, I have never been a fan of pancakes but I figured I'd just try a bite to see how it tastes. I feel like the size of it took away from the taste, or maybe I'm just not a fan period. I ordered my usual eggs benedict and I wasn't impressed with that either. But I have high expectations because it is my "thing" to order at all brunch places I visit so my bar was pretty high as it is. However, the greatest thing about this place is that it was open 24/7. I think they probably do really well with their other items, so I would still give it a shot and maybe you will have a better experience. I thought it was a bit pricey for what it is as well.

  • Moria H.

    The restaurant didn't live up to the hype. My husband ordered the Elvis pancakes. It's great for someone who has a major sweet tooth. My husband loves sweets but even he had to have some of my savory food to balance. I had the eggs Benedict. It's one of my favorite dishes so I'm picky as to how it's prepared. The hollandaise sauce was excellent. One egg was poached perfectly while the other was overdone (I gave that one to the hubby). My daughter had the umami omelet which she enjoyed but the pineapple kimchi-style was a little out of place with the rest of the fresh untouched fruit. Would I go back again? Maybe if I'm Waikiki again but I most certainly would not make a special trip especially when there are other great breakfast options out there.

    This review is based on having my wedding rehearsal dinner here. From beginning to end, excellent customer service. Brett was fantastic during the planning process! I told him how much I wanted to spend per person, and he provided a customized menu. Our servers and the manager working that night were just as great. I had a great experience planning the dinner, and had an even greater night. So much that I kinda wished I planned my wedding at this hotel! Food was good, service was great. I totally recommend this place for a small private party.

    The food was alright, my chicken alfredo was pretty good. But..the service was pretty slow. Our waitress seemed really nervous the whole night. When it came time for our check, which btw is a whole other story I'll get to in a minute, she didn't take all of our cards. She seemed to forget the other half of the table. Same thing happened when she took our valet tickets. Now, about the check.. we were a party of 12, and were told that we could not have separate checks because parties of 8 or more have the gratuity already included in the check. BUT.. we could all use our cards, or put our cash together, or a combination of both to pay for our bill. Not only was our waitress confused as to how much to put on each card, she forgot to give us our discount for our drink. So she had to rerun our bill with the new total. After about 20 minutes we were able to get our bill paid. I have been to restaurants where you can come in a one big group and still be able to have separate checks. And gratuity will still be added to your bill. Maybe Mac 24/7 should look into doing the same. It would make things a whole lot easier, especially if you had a waitress like ours. But overall, it was not a bad place, and I'd probably go back.. but its not on my list of favorites.

    Check-in and get the Mac-cano Eruption if you want to get blitzed at 1/2 price. The bar area was a good place to grab a drink or watch a game.

    I love the ginger ale here. The waitress is fabulous but hardly found. It seems like at night they only have one server for the whole place. On this visit my food came out quick. But on my last visit it took 1&1/2 hour for my food to come out. Think they forgot our order. The waitress kept stopping by when she could to apologize for the wait. They ended up comping one of our meal, paid for parking, and complimentary desserts. Despite they wait and mistake the workers tried to make up for it and was friendly about it... now thats a wonderful service.

    Decent diner in Waikiki to fill your breakfast craving. You don't need to order the pancake challenge to have enough pancakes. Just get a regular order and you'll still have enough to split for two. The pancakes tasted good, but are so sweet that it's more like eating dessert.

    A concept of a place in Hawaii that only closes when it snows, I like it!!! I was awake at like 4AM the morning after I arrived (still on that east coast time!), and I was starving!!! Thanks to watching Man VS Food, I knew there was indeed a 24 hour joint on the island. So MAC came to the rescue. We arrived, and saw it was valet parking (first off, be weary of the upward hill entering the garage!!!), for the restaurant, it is $3 (i originally thought it was $30.. Ill take the $3!). The restaurant is right at the end of the lobby. I like all of the tvs, the bar area, and the dining area overlooking the pretty gardens. There is a HUGE menu, which all seemed tempting, but I was on my mission, I was starving, I ready to devour the pancake challenge. To even top it off, I went dangerous- and ordered the Elvis style (bacon, bananas, and peanut butter drizzle). I started to shred on them, and then from what a previous yelper stated, they tasted a bit too dry for my liking. I ate them from the inside out (to get all of the toppings out of the way), but then I realized, I am not going to have my mom watch me eat the rest of these over the next hour. So I ate about 3+ lbs in 30 minutes- the waitress was impressed.. But if they were a little more moist, it would have been no problem- but oh well, I lost. My mom ordered the waffle- she said it was hands down one of the best she has had- that was a plus!!! We also were able to watch Sunday football on tv- that was cool too!! All in all, its a cool place to check out especially for offbeat hours... The people were really nice there too!! I was told if you want to do the challenge, it is best to do it with the blueberries (which I am not a fan of)...

    I'm a fan of having breakfast food for dinner and meals any time I want them around the clock, so naturally we had to check this place out. We were actually staying at a different hotel way down the other end of the strip so rode the bus to get up to MAC 24/7 which is located inside a Hilton business hotel. The neighborhood is a leetle skeezy looking but early evening was not too bad, still a lot of regular people getting off work or going to work and riding bus. I had red velvet pancakes, which came with interesting bourbon and cream cheese sauces, and my husband had the pancake plate with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. His pancakes were like a normal large pancake size. My pancakes, even though they weren't the big Mac Daddy ones, were HUGE. Each the size of a dinner plate. Easily two meals worth for me, so I took half of it home. Coffee was Starbucks, which is OK if you like Starbucks. I personally don't and was bummed that they weren't serving Kona Mountain or something local, given that you're kind of in the heart of awesome coffee country. The coffee cups were big and they left the pot on the table. Decor is retro and more interesting and fun than I expected from a business Hilton. I liked that the booths were big and you can move the table so the bigger person can have more room on his side. It wasn't very busy and it looked like there was just one tired older waitress working. She did a good job. This didn't strike me as the kind of place to make special food requests or order anything fancy. I would come back here for pancakes or breakfast or maybe a steak. I don't want salad or a fancy entree. I realize since it's a hotel restaurant it has to serve a variety of people all wanting different things, but to me it's a glorified breakfast joint with neat decor, that's open whenever I want, and I don't need it to be any more than that.

    Mac 24/7 was featured on Man vs. Food. I went there with some friends and attempted the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge. To beat the challenge you have to eat three pancakes in less than 90 minutes. I felt confident going into the challenge, but saw my confidence quickly deflate once the pancakes came rolling to the table. These pancakes are massive in both diameter and thickness. By the time the 30 minute mark had passed, I wasn't even done with the first pancake and was already feeling full. I tried to force down more, but didn't make it much further. The pancakes had a great taste to them which helped, but the mass volume was just too much to handle. In the battle of Mike vs. food, food won.

    We had the crimsom snapper, salmon and two mai-tais for dinner at Mac 24/7 this evening. They were first rate and the waiter was personable and efficient. Our neighbors were enjoying Mac-cano-eruptions and having great fun. I highly recommend for a nice meal in an unpretentious atmosphere. Add-on: We went the next day for breakfast. Some had galbi and eggs, I had pancakes, eggs and sausage. All were excellent. People at next table were having a "Man vs Food" serving of pancakes that looked depressingly wasteful. Second add-on: We went again for dinner, had Mac-cano-eruptions (flaming giant two-person mai-tais) which were a lot of fun and a good bargain with the half-price check-in deal. We (party of four plus toddler this time) had opah, seared ahi, snapper and a BBQ sampler with galbi, chicken, etc. All first rate. We highly recommend this place once again.

    I went there last night with my boyfriend and I have to say it was a great experience. From the moment we got there, we were greeted and seated. We did go later in the night, but I like how fast we were seated. Our waitress was really nice, and before coming to the table, she had two glasses of water ready. These days when I go to restaurants, I always have to ask for water, so that was nice. The food was really good. I ordered the short rib with mashed potatoes and mixed greens with a plantation iced tea, and my boyfriend ordered the mac loco moco. I loved every single thing on my plate and the drink was delicious. If it wasnt big, I wouldve finished it. My boyfriend really liked his dish too. We didnt have room for dessert, but well be back soon (:

    There wasn't an item on the menu I did not like. Prices may seem a bit high, but once you see the portion size and care put into preparing it you won't think about the price again.

    Great duality: Perfect for lunch and for after hours! The bar is open to 4am and the menu is loaded with comfort food, the perfect after-after hours spot! Must try the Ginger Mac drink, I asked the manager about it and they told me the ginger syrup and garnish are both sourced locally from an organic farm. I love that it is served old "fountain" style with syrup on the bottom, seltzer on the top with a dash of citrus to offset the sweetness. Featured on Man vs. Food, the pancake challenge is monstrous! I havent tackled it yet, but its on my list to do soon!

    I use to come here often in 2007 while living on oahu after working gigs at the clubs. There is only a handful of places you can hit up that's 24/7 and Mac 24-7 is one of them and located right in Waikiki. I really like their club sandwich. I also enjoyed their rolls and calamari. Ceasar salad is another dish I tried. Breakfast is okay. Tried the pancakes... nothing to rave about... except that it's the biggiest pancake I ever seen. Valet/Validated parking only. That means you have to pay for parking. Located in a hotel in Waikiki. Tons of seating. On the pricey side, but I guess you're paying for location. They have several tv screens there too... so you can come here to watch games if that's your thing. Like that they are open all day everyday. I had my fair share of Mac 24-7. Now that I'm not living in Hawaii, when I do visit the islands... Mac 24-7 is not on my places to go list. I rather eat at other places that are open late.

    Bring on the carbs.. Of course, Adam Richman had to demonstrate this behemoth 5 pounder in his show to do the Mac Daddy Challege.. I ain't that crazy to eat that much.. That's like 30 mile run to burn most of the calories.. Right off when we checked in our hotel, we were planning what to eat.. The wifey brought up the idea of having some pancakes since it's close by our hotel and Mac 24/7 was just a 5 minute walk... The restaurant is located in the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel.. The ambiance is pleasant with a full bar with big screen tvs.. The tables have no leftover crumbs and wiped clean, I didn't feel any stickiness on our table (pet peeve of mine).. I wanted to order only a little bit since we were tired from the trip and too much carbs are a "no no" when we go to sleep.. We ordered the plate of 4 xlarge pancakes: toppped with bananas, walnuts, chocolate chunks and powdered sugar media4.ct.yelpcdn.com/bp… And lots of syrup.. Fried calamari with spicy chipotle sauce.. When we got the pancakes, I just had to do my pre attack pose, LOL media2.px.yelpcdn.com/bp… We started eating through the fluffly stomach stretcher.. The mix with bananas and chocolates were so heavy but delicious at the same time.. Oh man, I was nearly half way and I almost gave up already.. Probably it's because the starch started to kick in.. My mouth was getting tired from chewing... I had to stop eating so my stomach wouldn't explode.. We just packed the rest in a big box and headed out of there.. I enjoyed my meal even though I think gained 5 pounds from that plate.. The staff was fast, efficient, and friendly... The restrooms are super duper clean.. It was a good experience trying out the carb load monster...

    I had a large group and we stumbled into this place after another was too full and it was a great choice, they easily accommodated our nine person party. The food was awesome and service was prompt. They have a variety of food and drinks that were all great; one of our party was raving about their steak for days. We also got a couple healthy pours of whiskey for a very reasonable $8.

    The service was horrible. The only reason this restaurant is still in business is because it is open 24 hrs. The restaurant staff needs to be more courteous and friendly. My wife and I went to eat at this restaurant after a late night enjoying Waikiki. We received unfriendly service and cold food. I think our server took a nap in the back and forgot about us because when we received our food, it was cold

    So I'm not sure what's with all the bad reviews but I thought the food and service were great. I've only been for breakfast and shared the pineapple coconut macadamia nut pancakes with the eggs bacon and sausage. While it maybe pricey for $16 bucks its a serious amount of two easily shared by two people. Everything was hot and tasted delicious my only qualm was we were sat at the bar while they had open tables but other than that great experience! Would highly recommend! Would have been here more often but tried it my last day here! Also they have gluten free options available!!!

    Yelp 31 Challenge: 5/31 Man vs. Food? LMAO Normally, I come here in the wee hours of the morning, after an evening of drinking and dancing. This time, it was a group of us deciding to have a legitimate breakfast during normal breakfast hours. Wow! What an amazing concept?!?! Certainly going for the hipster hotel tourist crowd, the place was rather empty. Seems that there was an event at the hotel that had everyone captivated. So, I guess I should just count my blessings. COFFEE PLEASE!!! And boy, did they have the right idea...leave me the carafe, please! Thank you :) After checking out the menu, we all figured what we wanted with great ease. The menu is rather simple and easy to read. This made choosing a breeze! Eggs Benedict for me! WHOA!! Super yummy...and so freaking HUGE! OMG, i have never seen an order of Eggs Benedict that was so large in my whole life! As you know, a great Eggs Benedict is all about the Hollandaise, and their rendition was spot on! With a delicate dusting of Paparika, the dish was superb! I could not finish my dish, and was sooo happy to have leftovers to bring home. Kalbi, Rice and Eggs--Again, a huge plating of a local Korean favorite. The marinated beef was perfectly prepared. My Homegirl almost finished her plate...but still, it was too much! The Mac Attack--The basic breakfast of Champions! Pancakes or French Toast with 2 eggs and Bacon and Sausage. BOY!!! Again, a HUGE choice! Another one for the doggie bag. The service was great and the meal was delicious. You know its good when you head home and all you can do is think about taking a nap! Kanak-attack!

    This was the reliable breakfast spot during my stay in Waikiki, especially since its open 24/7. This place was featured in Man Vs Food and if you see the challenge you will know why. My usual order was the short stack which was a challenge on it own. Reasonably priced and I could never finish it. I took it home and it was breakfast for the next day. Service there was excellent and there was a chill atmosphere. The decor is chic but with old diner feel. Overall this place is reasonable priced, with big portions, and the service was always good. I returned again for the short stack but also returned for the fish taco which was good and not too large as guilt began to kick in from all the stuffing i had previously.

    Our first morning on Waikiki we decided to try something other than McDonald's for breakfast. My son had the chicken and waffle platter. Which was more than enough for two people. My husband and I had the MacAttack. Overall the food was pretty good, but service was a little slow. Also a little pricey!

    One star because I had a great breakfast here this morning. And there it ended. Because the breakfast experience was great we came back for a late dinner- big mistake. Drink took 20 minutes, Food took more than an hour to come out, sides were cold, waitress was beyond weird. Steak was good but teriyaki chicken was gross with fatty undercooked skin. If you want breakfast - yum, otherwise skip it!

    Hubby and I had to come here because we LOVE Man VS Food! Featured on Travel Channel we made he 10 min walk from our hotel to try the huge pancake challenge. It was SO good. chocolate, macadamia and banana pancakes. No we didnt win but it was worth tasting, I had the the loco moco dish which was good! Beef patty on a bed of sticky rice covered wit gravy. YUM and very filling. We also had the lava something something drink served in an oversized martini glass. It was good mins the absinthe. YUCK lol. The bartender let us take the cup home. Very nice of him. Nice dining area-very mod.6-30-11

    Breakfasts are huge. You have to have a man-sized appetite which I did witness the men in our group didn't seem to have a problem finishing off the Mac Attacks. AND my carb craving has suddenly disappeared after ordering the bananas foster, pralined walnuts and chocolate sauce pancakes made for a giant. I had to order it just to say that I did...you know how that goes. Well, I barely made a dent in it - I love caramelized bananas - they weren't cooked all the way through to bring out that particular flavor. The chocolate sauce was something like Hershey's syrup so I was disappointed but it did add richness to the fact that you were eating pancakes that were 5 inches (at least) deep. The weight of the take-home bag was hefty enough that it could probably serve as a weapon or a door stop. For sure, you need friends to help you polish it off. Like the convenience that it is always open so no matter what you are craving - MAC 24/7 probably will satiate you.

  • Sandy S.

    Please share when you come here, otherwise you would be wasting a lot of food if you plan to have the whole plate to yourself. We had the coconut pineapple pancakes and the meatloaf. I shared the pancakes with my friends and I thought it was too dry. The best pancakes I had was probably at Cinnamon's (see my review). It was huge though and everything was moderately priced for the huge portions they give. I have to say, they open 24hrs which is a plus for those drunken nights you get hungry because everything in Hawaii closes so damn early (well, compared to California at least!)

  • Chris K.

    Mac 24/7 was really good. We ate there for breakfast with a party of 10. We had a reservation and got seated quickly. All the food came out really fast except for mine which was lost/forgotten/whatever. The pancakes were really good and so was the eggs benedict. Everything there seems to be priced about right so no complaints there either. The service was ok. Not the most attentive waitress I've ever had. The only negative we had was the parking here was horrible. Dropping the car at valet was easy but getting it back was a 40 minute ordeal. The valet area was overloaded, granted it was a Sunday morning so everyone was checking out the hotel but it was a mess. Bags everywhere, nowhere to stand. People going to get there cars where ever they could as opposed to picking up the car when they bring it to you. I would recommend this place for breakfast, just don't go on Sunday or other busy travel times unless you don't mind waiting.

  • Monique F.

    Overrated & overpriced! We came here because so many people recommended it and many of the reviews recommended the pancakes. We got the red velvet pancakes they were overlooked. The sauces that the waiter bracket about were just filled with sugar and no true culinary skill. We also got the chicken fried steak. While this was huge it too had little flavor other then a grill that needed to be cleaned. The gravy was bland too. I would not recommend this stop!

  • Sonny S.

    Although the food was good, service seemed a bit slow. I ordered the Mac Locomoco. When the food was served I asked for a side of mac'n cheese. I nearly finished my food (taking my time) before the waiter said they were out. Then I got charged for it. Of course they took it off the bill. For a few bucks more I should have had the buffet. Would have been quicker.

    Open 24/7 for dining and room service. That's a plus in itself. Ahi poke pita sandwich was good, but small. Turkey club and fries was of a good portion size and tasty. Calamari wasn't as good as expected. Pricey - but it is a restaurant in a hotel, it's to be expected.

  • Mae D.

    I give this place 5 stars because even though I've been here many times before, I try a different entree every time I visit and everything that I've tried so far is always yummy! Last night my husband took me here for an early Mothers' Day dinner! (Thank you, babe!). Hubby ordered the Roasted Vine Ripened Tomato Soup & Grilled White Cheese Sandwich (that sounded like a mouthful!) and I thought I'd try something different and ordered the Fried Chicken & Waffles with country gravy. I loved the crispiness and how moist the chicken was! Very delicious! Waffles were huge and just as tasty! I mixed it up a bit by dipping the chicken in the maple syrup and country gravy along with the waffles! Very Stoney meal! Hubby's soup and grilled cheese was delicious and creamy! But he kept going for my fried chicken! We ate every bite of morsel off our plates! We'll definitely be back and this time I'll be ordering the meatloaf and mashed potatoes! I also loved how they have added 2 big screen televisions in the back room! It's not to awkwardly quiet back there anymore! Servers seemed a bit nervous though and looked a bit scared to approach our table at times, but we still got our glasses of water refilled everytime! Great service and awesome eats! Maybe a bit pricey for comfort food but it's so worth it! We wanted to give the chef a huge smooch!

    We came here a couple of years ago; it was the best brunch we had on the trip. We got the eggs benedict and the banana chocolate pancakes. So good. This was before the Man VS Food episode. At the time, this place had four Yelp stars. That just goes to show that it's all relative... perhaps without the expectations from the show, this was a solid place; it just couldn't meet the hype for some folks. I get it; I've adjusted reviews before after restaurants received Michelin stars because expectations change. I liked this place and would come back, but you should definitely come with more than two people so you can divvy up the food! Portions are too big.

    Food was good and the staff was friendly but the service was terrible. We went for my son's birthday so we had made reservations (17ppl) and told them of the occasion...you'd think for groups they'd try to give you good service especially since they automatically tack on 17% gratuity. Now I know not to come here for special occassions. Oh well.

    Hubby was like a little boy when we came here. He loooves Adam from man vs. food so he wanted to do the pancake challenge. He ordered the Elvis: 3 pancakes weighing 5 lbs total covered with caramelized bananas, bacon, and a peanut butter glaze. I expected the quality to be diminished in such a gargantuan pancake but it was surprisingly good. We ended up eating 1/8 of it. I got the loco moco which was also great, though not as huge. Excellent mushroomy sauce poured over everything. kind of an upscale bar feel. there were a few tv's so we watched the game in between tackling the mac daddy pancake challenge.

    GINORMOUS portions. Decent food. Middle of the road cost. Excellent for late night chowing (not snacking, but total throw down eating). i enjoy breakfast the best here. Parking is easy , it's in a hotel. Wait staff is friendly enough, sometimes a little impersonal for Hawaii.

  • Fabiola C.

    Decided to come to this place and try the pancake challenge! But definitely failed lol. Pancakes were delicious (blueberry) and huge enough to feed probably 5 people lol. They charge an additional $2.50 for the second person and its not a challenge after that. The atmosphere is nice and if you seat in the back you have a nice view of the hotel garden. The waiters are also very attentive. This place is pricey though, but then again you are in Hawaii. I would totally come back and try other plates

  • Riana S.

    I haven't been here in awhile but damn was I glad we came back here. I told Chuco T. after we got our food my last goodbye because I seriously have died and gone to food heaven. We went super late so it wasn't crowded at all, perfect! We were greeted and seated immediately. It's genius that they have their menus as place mats now. Anyway, their menu has definitely expanded since the last time I've come here and I really love how versatile they are. Not only do they have chicken and waffles but they also have seared ahi, they also have pastas and breakfast food. Awesome range! We had just finished watching The Help (so good, go see it!) and during the whole movie they kept eating fried chicken so we decided to eat Southern and get the chicken & waffles and the chicken fried steak with white cheddar mac & cheese with biscuits and gravy. Now the biscuits and gravy do not come with the meal, I just got a half order (YOU CAN DO THAT?!) so it comes with 2 biscuits instead of 4. Best choice ever. The chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and tender. The country gravy was delicious, homemade, and super creamy but light. Oh dear LAWWDDDD the white cheddar mac and cheese was SO creamy and CHEESY. It was amazing. I didn't care for the peas it came with but it didn't take away from the dish. The chicken and waffles looked so good. I didn't get a chance to eat the waffles but the whole dish looked super huge. I tried a piece of the chicken and it practically melted in my mouth it was so moist. The service was great and he kept checking in on us, and he did that great thing of giving me a half order of biscuits. Another great thing about this place is that they use organic and locally grown produce whenever it's available. Definitely a plus. Oh man I wanna try everything on that menu.

    I don't really like pancakes, and I think this place is the reason why! Years ago, before I even knew of Yelp, I came here for breakfast since it was just around the corner where I was staying. The Cinnamon Streusel pancakes sounded good. You would think the waiter would take a look at me... who is under 5 feet tall and warn me about the size of these humongous pancakes. But nope, nothin. Nothing about me needing a pizza cutter to even cut this thing! It was overkill at it's finest... three or four fluffy pancakes the size of a large pizza, stacked and topped with streusel. I probably ate about an 1/8 of it. The to-go box is a cake box and just looking at the leftovers made me sick. I gave this place another shot and got the Chicken Fried Steak, which was OK. The mac n cheese was disappointing... it had peas. I HATE PEAS! Why is there peas in my mac n cheese? YUCK. Two times here, and they both sucked!

  • Yosapon T.

    Went here because of the massive pancake that i saw from Man VS FOOD. When we start ordering food we didn't expected anything to be that big and stuff... so we ordered the Pancake (Chocolate & Banana and Walnut) + Omelet. When we actually saw the food arriving we all said WTF ! and asked the waiter "how can we finish it?" waiter reply - "you don't"...... The Pancake was super good along with the Omelet however there were only three of us O.o After a few same bite we became sick of it lol soooo we gave up and boxed it home.... We will definitely come back again to eat at this place because its pretty cheap pancake is $15 but i bet you can share it with at least 6-8 people. Only thing is you will need to get validated parking so consider carpooling ^^

    I enjoy this place...the two times of been here...after drinking of course. Last night, we visited Mac 24-7 after happy hour at Pearl. You know I took advantage of the 50% off the Mac-cano cocktail. Anyway, despite being a tourist spot in the middle of Waikiki, it's not a bad place to hang out. Last night, I ate the kalbi and eggs, which was a special. Pretty hard to mess up eggs and rice, so the deciding factor was the kalbi. Mac 24-7 knocked it out of the park. I like my kalbi tender and not burnt at all and it was perfect. The taste of the food hit the spot especially since I didn't eat dinner at that point. The only downside is the price of the food, but with their big portions, the price is not that bad. I had three stripes of kalbi (3 bones long), 2 eggs and a big scoop of rice for $14.75. Not that bad right? The service, last night, was pretty quick. The waitress did initially say that we could not use our yelp check-in offer, thinking it was a coupon, but she then called the manager over and he was super cool. Friendly staff and good food gets 3 stars in my book. The fourth star is for the Mac-cano drink because well the lime was on fire and we got to keep the plastic martini glass, which is huge! The Mac-cano is a great way to start/end the night... Overall, I will end up there at one point, when we are drinking. I recommend this place for locals and tourists alike.

    Seriously get your Mac on here at Mac 24/7! They have a variety of things to eat and served up in huge portions. They are open 24/7 as the name says and is definitely worth a visit. Fortunately for me and my wife it wasn't too far of a walk for our hotel. We were able to walk off our meals... I had the fired chicken and waffles and I highly recommend it.

    Worst service ever and we didn't even eat here. Tried to go here for an after the bar bite. Waited for 20 minutes while they told us we would have to wait because they were cleaning. We waited patiently and asked the hostess if they had forgotten about us. She told us they were still cleaning so we would have to wait. We saw no cleaning going on, and a completely empty bar with about 5 open tables. Finally we decided to seat ourselves at the bar. The bartender gave us attitude because she said they were sooooo... busy (despite the empty front part of the restaurant) and 2 people already sitting at the bar. Due to her unpleasant attitude, we decided to eat elsewhere.

    I had the fruit parfait with mango, papaya, strawberries and a great blend of vanilla lime yogurt and granola. Although delicious, I was a little bummed to see the bartender (ate at the bar) pull the drink out of the fridge pre-made with cellophane on top. At least take the cellophane off in the back so I have the illusion that it's made fresh right? My boyfriend had the (vegetarian) eggs benedict royale. The original version includes ham and turkey, so they made a special meat less version. I totally appreciate how accommodating they are... I would go back just for their flexibility.

    We parked at the Honolulu Zoo, which used to be $0.25/hour, but I see they finally realized what people have been doing & changed the rate to $1.00/hour, which is still extraordinarily cheap for parking in Waikiki. The walk from the Zoo to Mac is about 5 minutes. When we got there, a family of 3 was in front of us & looked pretty impatient. Turns out they had called in for a reservation, but still had to wait awhile to get their table. Bad sign. The hostess/server took them to a table, but never returned. The line was growing, but we still waited. She finally came back about 5 minutes later. We were seated & given our menu. We sat there for 10 minutes not knowing who our server was. We weren't greeted by anyone & no one offered us water. No one even walked near our table for us to flag down. I finally had it & started towards the front to speak with the hostess. That was when the server decided to show up. She apologized & offered us free coffees, which I gladly accepted since it's $4/cup! Service picked up from then We didn't go for the Mac Daddies because they're ridiculously large, so we went with the combo breakfast, which came with normal-sized pancakes. We found them fluffy & delicious. Everything else was pretty mediocre & can be found in your everyday breakfast diners.

    I admit it: I went to MAC 24/7 and didn't have the legendary pancakes. But along with three friends, I did try a half-dozen of the OTHER menu items. The verdict? The food is average at best. That said, $25 for ~4 oz. of mahi mahi and maybe a dozen super tiny scallops is nothing short of a ripoff. The fact that this place is in the lobby of a fairly busy Waikiki hotel and was featured on "Man vs. Food" recently, yet was half empty (half full, whatever) on Labor Day at dinner time speaks volumes. People have been there and done that and know they can get a better deal elsewhere. Service was OK, but not good enough to make up for the lack of "wow" in the food. If you want to go for the novelty of eating a pancake (or three) the size of a steering wheel, then by all means, go. You won't find that anywhere else on the island. But you can get mahi cheaper at Zippy's, and even Hank's makes better mac and cheese. Parking is valet only and $3 (sans tip) with validation.

    Went to have dinner last night for the first time with the fam bam. The bf ordered a Stella Artois that came with a swimming bug. I took it out and flagged down our Asian waitress to let her know. She told us that "oh it must be a fruit fly from the bar" and that they are "frequent flyers" around the bar area. She asked my bf if she wanted him to replace it. Why ask? It's automatic that she should have done so. She comes back with a supposed new glass and it tasted like there was beer mixed with club soda. As far as the entrees, not so "hot". Me and my dad ordered the ribeye steak. To be honest the best thing on my plate was the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I have eaten steak prepared better than that. My mom ordered the Hawaiian combo...no complaints. My bf ordered the Chicken fried steak. It was okay but the mac & cheese tasted like it can be made from home. And lastly, my grandma ordered the meatloaf which was loaded with pepper. Mind you the meatloaf had a hint of B.O. smell to it. So we ended up ordering the beef stew for her which she liked. Overall, the food is mediocre and the price is expensive compared to other places that serve the same type of style of food.

    First of all, Let me make one thing perfectly clear, my 5 star rating is for our server, Mona. Without her, my rating would be 3 stars at best. I've been to MAC 24/7 several times, and it was okay...a bit pricey for the quality. But when we went for dinner last night, to my surprise, Mona was our server! I've known Mona for a while as she is absolutely, hands-down, the best server at another establishment down the street (actually, the best server I've ever had anywhere, and I truly mean that.) I was concerned when I heard that the other establishment is closing at year end, but I'm super excited that she is still in the area. Mona is amazing. She knows her menu like the back of her hand, and can take orders for everyone on the table (drinks, appetizers, entree and desserts) without even writing it down. In all the time I've known her (about 5 years now), NEVER a single mistake. Last night was no exception. She even knows what items we like... I kid you not, there has been more than one occasion where we walk in, she sees us, and then asks if we each want XXX, then even confirms (with 100% accuracy) what drinks each would like. She will even make suggestions on modifying a particular order that will get you exactly what you want at the best possible price. Now THAT is service! While management may not necessarily think that's a great idea, it is definitely one of the reasons why I will return. Mona truly takes care of her customers. I sincerely hope that MAC 24/7 realizes what an asset they have with Mona. Knowing that Mona works there, I am much more likely to return. If she's off, I may consider going elsewhere. Now that I'm done raving about Mona, (and believe me, I could go on!) I'll comment on MAC 24/7. Our food was good. The Mac-n-Cheese is always a winner, as are the pancakes with various syrups (though I'm a maple man.) Prices are on the high side, but I assume it's for 1) the convenience of having a restaurant always open in Waikiki, and 2) it is in a Hilton, where everything is overpriced... Portion sizes are rather large, so either come hungry, or share. Just be aware that they may add on a sharing fee (which I never understood... If I ordered take-out and shared it with my friends, there would be no such fee!) They are never consistent about that fee, and quite honestly I think it should just be eliminated. To those wondering, no, I am not related to Mona! Unfortunately, I don't even know her last name. But those that have been fortunate enough to have her as a server know that everything I wrote here is truth. I am just an average person who can recognize truly great SERVICE. Thanks Mona, for all you do!

    Food was decent but service was terrible! Don't sit in Connie's section whatever you do. One of the least personable servers I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of meeting. Both husband and I agreed food was overpriced and only okay. Meal was $70plus before tip and I expected more. Actually tried to tell the manager just so she was aware of how terrible of a job Connie did and she shrugged it off like it was nothing. Definitely try something else if you're considering this place!!

    I'm sorry, Mac 24/7. I wish I could've rated you better. I really, really do. But I just can't convince myself to view this restaurant favorably. Two stars for a great-looking restaurant and convenient hours, but the two most important components of any successful restaurant -- food and service -- is severely lacking when it comes to this place. I've been dragged here a couple times by my friends (much to my chagrin) because of the lack of 24/7 breakfast eateries in town. All the times that I've been here, I couldn't help but feel like I'm getting ripped off for what I'm paying. Don't get me wrong, the portions here are huge. They don't call them the "Mac Daddy Pancakes" for nothing, but when it comes to taste, I feel like the kitchen is being run by a bunch of exhausted workers who don't care to put any effort in what they're serving their patrons. Pancakes are overly tough, potatoes are bland and oily, eggs are meh, french toast is overly soggy. The chicken in my chicken parmesan actually smelled and TASTED old. Ew, what are you serving me? Service is also a bit lackluster. I remember one night we came around midnight and our server practically handed us our food and never checked up on us once. We actually had to crane our necks and look around the restaurant just to get a refill of water. Absolutely unacceptable at a restaurant -- especially if you barely have any customers inside! I think Mac 24/7 is a great concept -- one that I would LOVE to continuously come back to. However, with how things are currently being run, I think I'll settle for the Denny's nearby.

    Open 24 hours a day! Fun Jetson/spacey/60's/70's like interior with a long barstool section and booths. Famous for pancakes. A couple or family of 4 could share a pancake order $15- I recommend the pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nut version. The blueberry pancakes were on Man vs. Food. Slice the pancake stack like a pizza. FYI's~ *Usually good service. *You can watch sports on the counter's TVs from most places in the space.

    I live right next to Mac24/7 but have always avoided it because of the low ratings on Yelp, but I was so hungry at 1am last night and I finally decided to give it a try. Overall a positive experience and I would recommend it (after hours). it's open 24 hours and the portions are huge, which without a question justified the cost in Waikiki. I ordered a fruit parfait, really delicious mango, papaya, pineapple, etc. $9 well worth the money and really hit the spot for me. i would definitely recommend this to anyone. I also ordered the chicken fried steak, it came on top of spinach and bacon, a side of gravy, and a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was good, not great, and the 'frozen' peas just cheapened the dish, try sundried tomato on top of the mac and cheese as an alternative? the spinach and bacon were good, the chicken fried steak was standard (too salty) the gravy was just full of salt you can't taste anything else. Way too heavy on the salt, making it inedible with added gravy, a complete waste of gravy. Cost is $18 and the portion is enormous, the left overs could serve me at least 2 or 3 more meals. The service was excellent, a very nice hawaiian waiter, I had no complaints; I've read alot of reviews of slow service here; keep in mind this is Hawaii, everything is slower, this is not the mainlands. I would not recommend Mac 24/7 during normal dining hours as there are way better options in Waikiki that's cheaper and tastier; however, I would highly recommend this place for after hours dining, it is lesser of the three evil in Waikiki. The two other option being Denny's and McDonalds. good service, good after hours dining, enormous portions, good value(big portion) 4/5/2012 update - also tried saimin and beef stew - both excellent, beef stew is my favorite entree at Mac 24/7 so far!

    Been to Mac 24-7 twice.. Once drunk in desperate need of comfort food and more recently for breakfast with the girls and their offspring.. I picked this place cause it's easy to get to, parking is convenient, they took our reservation for 15 and the food is decent. I agree with Emi H., the service is spotty and varied throughout our entire meal. Our server was super nice but was forgetful at times.. But I'll give him 5 stars for wanting to swat the 2 flies that were in our private room. The flies were annoying and not good with 1 OCD mother, 1 Germaphobe Female and 4 kids - yes, welcome to my world. If you like Pancakes, this is the place to be. I loved the Banana Walnut and Chocolate Chunk pancakes. We split this serving between 4 adults and a hungry 3 yr old boy and we had PLENTY left overs. Overall, the food is good and pricing ok. Service needs some work, I suggest if you're with a big group and have kids with you- grab a menu while you wait and order as soon as you are seated.

    I am way over due for a review but it is necessary to say this place is amazing! My friends and I went for lunch for the very first time and we had a great experience. The people there are so friendly and kind. Great Service! The food was excellent! We sampled each others dishes and everything was good. I had the Hawaiian Combo and that was delicious, definitely recommend that! love this place! Can't wait to go back.

    I'm a food fanatic. In fact, this recent trip to Hawaii revolved around food. I had to check out Mac 24/7 because it had been featured on Man V. Food! Don't worry, I didn't kid myself into thinking that I could eat 3 lbs worth of pancakes by myself, but the pancakes (cinnamon streusel) were definitely yummy. If you come here for breakfast, one order will easily feed a family of 4. I also ordered their chicken wings. And I'm not a chicken wings person, but they were so good! They weren't just seasoned with hot sauce or bbq sauce, there was a special sweet and tangy flavor. The white cheddar mac and cheese was lacking and didn't taste as good as I would have hoped. They have a full bar and we had Patron shots before we had lunch.

  • Mark S.

    Pancakes were HUGE! multiple syrups, too. They had a big flaming drink - do NOT order one per person - you have to share to get through them. Nice atmosphere. 5 of us shared only a few dinners and 4 of the big drinks. Tab was over $200.

  • Dave And JM T.

    Stopped by for breakfast. Service was good... attentive and pleasant. The only downside to the service was that the waiter kept trying to clean up the bar area we were sitting at while we were still eating. Food took a long time to come out but it was worth the wait. The omelette was filling (4 egg) and you can create it any way you like it. The Mac Attack had a little bit of everything (pancakes, bacon, sausage, home fries). Satisfying Meal. A little on the pricy side... I think most menu items are $15-$20, which is a lot for an omelette but appropriate for Waikiki. Place was similar to an upscale diner. If you check in on yelp when your there you can get a 50% off cocktail coupon.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio last year during one of my yearly visits. So, one morning around 5am I was totally craving pancakes, so I went down to Mac to see what they had to offer. $15 pancakes is what!! I was like, what are these things made out of, Panda?! I told my server, that they had better be some really good pancakes! At this point, he was obligated to inform me that these were no ordinary sized pancakes. Furthermore, they were quite large, as in, the same size as the plate large & that there was actually a challenge involved in being able to eat them. And...that just a few weeks prior, Adam Richman, from MVF fame, had unsuccessfully attempted to eat these hubcaps! Hmm...I pondered this for a second & I was like, I just want some freakin' pancakes! However, I was not accepting the challenge. I ordered the Elvis pancakes, bananas, crumbled up bacon & peanut butter drizzle (3 in an order). After about 10 minutes or so, my order arrived & WOW!! These pancakes were definitely HUGE! I was no match for them, they quickly made me their B****H! The peanut butter drizzle was pretty overwhelming & I had to ask for a glass of milk & quite a bit of syrup to try & make the pancakes a little more moist. Not happening!! These things just soak up whatever you put on them. Needless to say I was only able to eat like a 1/4 or maybe a little more of the very top pancake. I hit the wall pretty early & had crazy cottonmouth & broke out into the pancake sweats!! So, I threw in the towel :( But, my pancake craving was satisfied, so victory was mine after all ;) Overall, this place has some great food, as I found out during the rest of my stay. I would recommend eating here. & the best thing is, its 24 hours ;) Oh & I can't be sure but, as I was walking out, I could swear I heard these pancakes laughing at me.

    So, it took me the entire weekend and then some to finish this review... sorry for the anticipated wait guys ;) We had two of my friend's 23rd birthday joint party here and we had a huge party (20+ people). One of my other friends who was coordinating the event called in a reservation 24hrs ahead so we didn't have any problem getting seated. When I got there the restaurant wasn't busy at all so that was nice because the staff seemed to be more focused on the quality of their food and service. Jason our waiter for the night and he was so awesome. I gave him extra tip because he was so cool. If you didn't know already Yelp has an AWESOME offer for this place. I advice you to go for dinner or late night dinner though to use the offer. It's 50% off their 32oz MAC - cano cocktail. This thing was ENORMOUS and on FIRE when it got to me. Stupid me though, I didn't eat anything all day and I was tackling this drink practically by myself (my boyfriend barely helped -_-). Of course right before dinner I was feeling all nice and buzzed from the drink. BTW you get to take home the cup ;) Anyways our party got FIVE, yes FIVE, orders of their legendary ENORMOUS pancakes. My favorite is their cinnamon streusel, oh my gosh that this is sooo good. Of course our party didn't even finish ONE plate, so at the end we split it all up amongst ourselves. Ok, now for the rest of the food I tried I got to try their tomato soup, if you're not hungry but you still was to try something there, GET THIS!!! It's so good and with grilled cheese, WOW! (there are no other words to describe it) I also got their chicken and waffles, hands down THE BEST I've EVER tried. I never had chicken and waffles together before, but the waffles were FANTASTIC! Also, parking is $3 for 4 hours... VALET! C'mon that's such a good deal in waikiki, seriously... If you get a chance to try this place, I warn you it is a hit or miss. My experience was definitely a hit. Good luck on your excursion to MAC 247.

  • Faye M.

    Love coming here for any meal - I've had every meal here...even the late night fourth meal! I love getting their tomato soup and grilled cheese and mostly any breakfast item on the menu! Just recently, my BF and I shared the Mac Daddy Pancake - Elvis style (with the peanut butter on the side), it was too much! We probably only ate a little over 1/4 of it and we really didn't want to take it home. Luckily, our waitress told us that all the left overs go to the "Happy Pig Farm", so that made me feel better! The first time I came here, service was really bad - but our waitress the other day was on top of everything!

    Located in the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio hotel, this restaurant is not only clean and nicely decorated with modern furniture but also has an amazing view of the outdoor garden gazebo. Although this place offer pancakes that could describe the latest cupcake flavors, expect to pay a pricey $16 as they offer... *hot and wild blueberry with vanilla glaze *banana, walnut and chocolate chunk *pineapple, coconut and macadamia nut *cinnamon streusel with vanilla glaze *and the Elvis - bacon, banana with peanut butter drizzle Settled on ordering the pineapple, coconut and macadamia nut pancake where the portion was enormous. If you plan on ordering the pancakes you may want to consider sharing it with someone else. Even though my husband and I shared the mac daddy pancakes, there was still quite a bit left on our plate. Overall I felt the taste of the pancakes with the toppings was good and not too sweet. It would be several weeks later where I made my second visit to Mac 24/7. Only this time it would be to have dessert. On their dessert menu I spotted an unusual dessert item that I wanted to try and don't see too often. Priced at $7 I am referring to the fried Snickers bar which is served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. I was able to eat only a few bites of this tasty treat since the accompanying ice cream with the caramel sauce made this dessert very rich and super sweet. In my opinion I feel that Snickers is best eaten plain as a candy bar and should not be deep fried.

    Convenient hours but only valet or street parking and seems overpriced for the only so-so food served. Pancakes are big but not special for any other reason. Desserts run almost double what you!d pay at Denny's without tasting like they are worth the premium. In the end, there is too much of a premium for the 24 hour convenience.

  • Anthony A.

    Fried Chicken and Waffles: beware, they marinade their chicken in a sugar water solution. Thus, the meat literally tastes sweet. In my opinion, it's nasty. There are already waffles/syrup on the plate. Why sweeten the chicken as well? I hope they read this review and make the appropriate changes.

  • Amy W.

    Pros: Food was great! Menu was great! View was beautiful! Cons: Parking was crazy only $3 to valet but they parked my car in the middle of a busy street to pick it up, service was slow and our waitress was a bit all over the place. Overall, I'd really have to be in the mood for a giant pancake to come back.

  • Todd C.

    Reviewing their enormous cupcakes only.... I say "only" but let me tell you, this was an amazing cupcake! I had some sort of double chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling and it was heavenly. This and a cup of coffee were more than worth the short walk from my hotel to this one, the Prince Kuhio, where MAC/24-7 is hiding away. During my next visit I'm sure I'll go back if only to take my 19 year old daughter who has a sweet tooth like me. If I have anything besides deliciously huge cupcakes then I'll post a follow-up!

    This place was not good. I was SO looking forward to some chicken and waffles. Well..the chicken was disgusting. It looked like rotten chicken thighs and I could not even bring myself to taste it, as the chicken was so fatty with no meat. The waiter was nice enough, but his entire uniform was coated in filthy food gunk. This place tries hard to be cool and markets itself as a hip spot, but it's not and I won't be returning.

  • Miki H.

    I've tried to like this place but despite it being open 24/7, most of the food is mediocre at best. They gained notoriety after being on Man vs. Food but the pancakes are probably the worst thing I've tasted here. After seeing how the pancakes are made from a mix, I should have known not to order them but I convinced my friends to try them and I could barely finish one bite. Keep in mind that this was after attending a wedding in Waikiki, probably having one too many glasses of wine and it still tasted that bad. It was dense, overly chewy and completely bland. If you find yourself here, the tomato soup with grilled cheese is not bad and the chicken caesar salad with dressing on the side is okay too. I must say that I occasionally order the waffle with strawberries. Not that the waffle is fantastic but I love strawberries. The mountain of whipped cream that it comes with is a little strange...not quite artificial tasting like "whipped topping" but much closer to that than actual whipped cream. Anyway, it serves its purpose as a 2 am strawberry fix. On a side note, it seems as though they have a general rule for where they seat you. I've been here around 10 times, and all except once, we've been seated in the dining room past the bar. It appears that the general rule of thumb is locals + fobby asians inside and everyone else outside in the booths by the bar. I have no idea why this is but it's interesting to notice every time we're there.

    This is a great place to go to if you're wasted and in Waikiki and it's late. If you aren't wasted, don't bother. If you aren't already in Waikiki, you should probably go somewhere else. And if it isn't late, but you're wasted and in Waikiki... something is wrong. (or you like to drink.) I've only been here a handful of times, and each time I have not really been impressed. The food is over priced, especially for the quality. (That's why I am giving it 2 stars - 'Meh. I've experienced better.' That says it all...) Oh, and don't order ANY alcoholic beverages here unless you feel like paying out of your A$$. One thing I like about Mac 24-7 is their pancakes. They have a pretty interesting selection: cinnamon streusel, the Elvis (sprinkled with bacon, banana, and a dessert-like peanut butter syrup), macadamia nut with pineapple and coconut, etc. Their pancakes run for about $15. But they're HUGE... and it's Waikiki. I just feel like Mac 24-7 is extremely overrated, especially after being featured on Man vs. Food. for the Mac Daddy Pancake challenge. Other than the pancakes, I'm not sure if I'd order anything else. Nothing that I've tried has given me a worthwhile or lasting impression. Sounds harsh, but I'm being honest... I'll be back to give it another try. Maybe they were just having a bad day each time I went. I'm quite unlucky in that way I guess. Oh yeah, and the service isn't that great either. But whatever, if the food is good, I'll wait.

    I am a foodie. Even though I read the previous reviews, I thought I would still give this place a try considering it was inside the Hilton hotel that I was staying at. There were only about 5 other tables eating while I was there so it was not crowded what so ever. The hostess quickly sat me down, menus were already on table. I waited over 10 minutes before seeing my waiter to take my drink order. I ordered the Mac Guava Lemonade. Then, my waiter disappeared. During that time, two more tables were seated and one of them were assigned to my waiter. After waiting 10-15 min additional for my lemonade, my waiter came back in site and took the table next to me drink order. Then he came over to my table and stated my lemonade would be coming shortly and if I wanted to place my order. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Finally, my drink arrived and I do have to say was super tasty and I probably would have gotten another if the waiter ever came back to table to ask. Then, the two tables that seated after me received their orders and were half way done eating till my dish came out. It was so-so, nothing to rave about. The fried pickle was a nice touch. The waiter never once came back to my table to ask if I needed anything or give me a refill of water or drink. Finally, I needed more ketchup, so I was waiting till I could flag him down. He ended up dropping off the check instead. Wait, you didn't even ask if I wanted dessert, which I did, but since it was horrible service so far, I thought why bother. I was finishing up the last few bites and go figure the waiter must have been in a hurry to pay because he came back to collect money before I even finished my meal or a chance to look at receipt. Ugh! So disappointing... Great atmosphere, great marketing with being on the TV food shows, but service brings this way down. With all the reviews on here, I would think something /someone would correct this immediately. Also, what was more disturbing is the menus ended up being the placemats at the tables. The guy that was cleaning tables, didn't clean everything properly. He would just wipe around everything instead of taking everything off the table. Didn't even wipe menus. Why don't you collect the menus and not use them as placemats?? Anyhow, please listen to what everyone is saying, there are lots of great local places to grab for food besides this place.

    Pancakes galore! Their prices have increased, which makes it not so worth the journey to Waikiki. I did enjoy the challenge of trying to eat those giant pancakes, but never finished them alone. Their other dishes are tasty and good for a late night "after the party" meal. I've never had any problems with the service. My only complaint is the $7 increase in price for the Mac Challenge over the past two years or so. The place is also very clean .

    This is a good spot to go after a night of drinking with friends or whoever. The atmosphere is that of a Denny's but with Champagne taste. EXCEPT the food is just mediocre here, BUT this was the only restaurant open during the wee hours of the morning.

    For the price both the amount of food and the overall quality was incredibly disappointing. We decided to go here simply because it was late and this was one of the only restaurants still open. The hostess was cold and quickly sat us near a large LOUD crowd. Our waitress was kind though, and re-sat us in a quieter place when we asked. The service was fast and our waitress was sweet. She was able to quickly get us our food which was nice considering the large, loud table had just ordered before us what looked to be 15 people worth of food. I'm assuming the chef was irritated that he had to cook that much food so late into the night (it was nearly 11:30) because when we got our food it was terrible. I ordered the Loco Moco (because it is almost impossible to screw that up) and my friend ordered the hamburger. Our meat was undercooked on the inside and burnt on the outside with no taste. My rice was mushy and the egg was cold. The meal was gross and while we both are usually not finicky, it was so bad that we were not able to finish it. We left sorely unsatisfied. We went to zippy's later which goes to show, you might as well keep to what you know will be good.

    Awful food. Most of the positive reviews focus on the pancakes, so order that. We strayed and live to regret it. Bf had the bbq combination plate. Kalbi overly salty, fried rice over salty, tuna tataki had funky taste/smell, and chicken was salty as well. My tomato salad had a combination of ingredients that are tasty when alone but together they clashed. The Mac-lava was overly sweet and promised a headache if consumed in full. Skip this place for other delicious eats in Waikiki.

    Went here for a late dinner. The service was not up to par. The Waiter took like for ever to deliver my food. The manager didn't seem to care when I asked him to check on my meal. The meal it self was OK I a had the saimen and it was cold and a bit salty. The dessert was very good, by far the best part of the meal. If your looking for a 24hr restaurant in Waikiki I suggest DENNYS. I probably will not go back, if I do it will probably be just for the dessert.

    The Elvis was awesome; lightly sautéed bananas, crispy bacon, a wonderful peanut butter drizzle on fluffy pancakes. We went in a large group and each person got something different but we ordered the Elvis Mac Daddy pancake that was featured on Man vs. Food to share. For $15 it was massive and could have easily fed us all just on its own. (At the end of breakfast, more than half it it was still in tact.) Good breakfast selection. The side of potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, not greasy - just the way I like it - and the portions were quite generous. What really stood out was that they had guava and coconut flavored jams and jellies. The staff was wonderful. We ordered carafes of coffee with breakfast and asked if we could take whatever was left with us to-go. Our waitress came back individual cups for each one of us straight from the kitchen. That's great service. 4 stars...

    Pretty average experience...the service was just okay, the ambiance was very diner like, and the food was okay. I had the breakfast with eggs and pancakes. The portions are large and they should be for the price. Located in the Hilton Prince Kuhio. Eggs and Things is a much better choice and way cheaper, if you don't mind the typical 30 minute wait.

    Went there around 1:30am. There were barely any people there and the service was ridiculously slow. Ambiance was nice and so was the food. They also had a live dj. Decent music. For a restaurant that is not on the beach the food prices were pretty high. Would not recommend this place.

    One of the few late night dining options in Waikiki. Came with a large group and they put us in a private room that felt like a conference room at my office. Portions were generous, the food itself was good but nothing special. Our server was great, and we all left happy.

    the restaurant service was marginal they sat is in the main aisle with no view, then i found the "secret dinning area" the one with the nice view of the garden and a more open area, they weren't happy when we asked to move to that area. we ordered our pancake challenge meal and it took 30 min to get. the waiter kept saying it will be just a minuet for 30 min. the good -- the pancake were the bomb 3 big ole pancakes fluffy and perfectly cooked. we ordered the cinnamon with the glaze it was like a cake so goooodd. we could only eat about 1/3 between two people. we were in a hurry to catch a tour so we could not enjoy them as much as we would have like to. good food slow service the valet parking is validated in the restaurant after you pay 3 bucks

    Service is pretty lacking for somewhere that never seems to be super busy. I don't get what the waiters are doing on the other side, where there is more seating. Food is pretty good, primarily their breakfast foods. I haven't tried any of the other foods, but they seem a little pricey. Portions are pretty big and I always leave stuffed.

    Food was good. Had breakfast here, simple egg white omelet. My only complaint is that the omelet took 30 mins-I have no idea why. BUT the server provided me with a complimentary fruit plate. Overall the food was GOOD! The pancakes taste like funnel cake!!! Yummo!! Was a little disappointed that their breakfast potatoes were deep fried :-(.

    This place is cool. Went here after checking out the Honolulu Holiday Lights. The place has a nice vibe and the staff was friendly especially this one woman who gave a free banana and a towel for my friend's baby. We ordered the large pancakes with blueberries and I got the 36oz. MAC-cano Eruption. I knew the pancakes was big after seeing it on TV but to see it right in front of you makes me think who the heck can it all of this. I attempted to scarf much of it to see if it can done but I was only able to get through 1/5 of it. The MAC-cano Eruption Cocktail was just as surprisingly big as my reaction to the pancakes. With the lime on the top lit with a small flame and fueled by the Bacardi in the lime I tried to put out the flame by dunking it with my spoon as suggested by the waiter, there was so much ice in the glass I had to flip the lime upside down. As for the taste of the drink it was alright. All together the price came around $32 which was not bad. Trying to finish the pancake was impossible after drinking the MAC-cano. Between me and my friend we are only able to eat just less than a quarter of it.

    This is a great place after 10pm until 6am if you're starving or want a desert item. Update 1-15-2015 Terrible front desk hostess service, weak table service and mediocre food at best even for a hotel. Very disappointing to see this place empty yet we understand why it's empty

    Tried this place for a late night snack instead of Wailana, and I won't make that mistake again. Pros: some of the food is good. A couple of the wait staff, the hostess, bartender, and the chef (?) behind the counter are very pleasant, energetic, and fun to watch as they worked. Cons: As others have said, food is mostly average or worse, and just as pricier as expected in Waikiki. The molten chocolate lava cake was barely warm, very bland. Menus are placemats. Why? No idea. The front and back are almost identical, so they could easily make them smaller and still leave them on the table with the drink menus. Our waiter. Really poor service. Sorry I guess I was interrupting him while he was working or something. Just dismissive whenever I asked for anything. There are four large flat screen TVs in the counter area, and the one in front of us was tuned to an infomercial. On prostate problems. Not appetizing to be watching prostate medical diagrams in color on a large screen while trying to eat. Tried to ask our waiter (big baldish guy) to get the channel changed and he wouldn't even stop long enough to listen to me, interrrupted me that he had to go ask his boss and ran off. I asked another waiter (slim young guy), who was EXTREMELY pleasant and accommodating and changed it quickly and checked back with us to make sure the sports channel was okay. Later, the channel got changed to some horrible Rihanna marathon complete with her soft-core porno outfits and moves, so maybe the first waiter finally did change the channel (but he did not check back with us). Be sure to add in the cost of validated valet-only parking, $3 and tip if you are driving.

    It was a bummer that I couldn't rate this place better as the food is good. But if you are in a hurry do not go there. It was convenient but our 1st breakfast took forever to get and the couple who sat before us were still waiting for the food after we got ours. And we couldn't finish our food as we were heading out to meet a shuttle so we had to take some to go. When someone wrote they had to wait 20 mins, some people had to wait longer. But then we went again another time and they took awhile again but we got our food within 20 mins. They have good food and they are convenient. Wish they'd get on their game. They did have Wifi access.

    terrible service! we were served water only and the waitress never came back to take our order! shame on her because we are returning kama'aina customers. we walked out after waiting about 20 minutes or thereabouts! other than this problem, the kalbi plate is delicious, my favorite.

    Mac 24/7 is a great tourist restaurant in Waikiki. There is plenty of selection on the menu, great food with generous portions and wonderful service. I preface it as a "tourist restaurant" because the menu is rather pricey, but works in a place like Waikiki, where as a tourist, you're a sitting duck to get ripped off. That being said, we ate here for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Dinner was probably the best value - the food was top notch. I had an amazing Ahi dish and with my wife & her parents shared 2 Mac-cano eruptions, which were 1/2 off with our Yelp check-in. These were awesome, I highly recommend them! Another time that we came, I got the Kalbi, rice & 2 eggs, which was also delicious, and not too poorly priced @ $15. The last time we came for breakfast, I got the french toast & eggs, which was decent, but seemed a bit pricey @ $16. A $40 bill for my wife & I at breakfast works on holiday, but I would probably be a bit steamed to pay that anywhere else. Again, this is why I classify Mac 24/7 as a "tourist" restaurant. The one true value here is definitely the $16 pancakes. They are a complete spectacle & you can feed your whole table here, probably regardless of the size of the party. :) They are definitely a fun item to watch people order in the restaurant - you have to see them. The atmosphere here is top notch as well as the service. For pure experience, I would give Mac 24/7 solid 4 stars, but based on the prices, I have to back off one. Again, being located in the Hilton on Waikiki beach, I understand that the price points are justified, so Mac 24/7 - I'm not mad at you. :) I wouldn't hesitate to come here again next time we're in Waikiki - especially for the happy hour (which we never managed to make). 1/2 their drinks WOULD be a killer deal. I give this HIGH 3 stars.

    The Red Velvet pancake itself was bitter. The vanilla maple glazed saved it! Unfortunately you really have to slather it on. The pancakes are also rather eggy. I prefer cake like pancakes. Slow service. Nice waitress though. Great fruit!

    As I am a big fan of Man vs. Food, needless to say I had to try the Mac Daddy. It is 3-14 inch pancakes topped with your choice of the following: blueberries; banana, walnuts and chocolate chunks; pineapple, coconut and macadamia nuts; cinnamon streusel w/ vanilla glaze, or the ELVIS (bacon, banana, and peanut butter). Of course I went with blueberries! The pancake is really good as it really does taste like cake (fluffy, moist, and sugary) and the blueberries are fresh and abundant. All this for $15. No way could I ever attempt the challenge (finishing this whole thing within 90 mins on your own). My local partner in crime & I only finished 50% of it (You literally can really feed a party of 5 with this one dish) and I give mad props to Adam Richman for finishing about 80% of this on his own. Also, the service at this place was really good. The water & coffee was refilled without being asked and the waitstaff were really attentive & friendly.

    If you want pancakes, your only option is the Mac Daddy pancakes, made famous by the Food Network...basically its 3 pancakes, the size of 3 large pizzas...looks good, but after a few bites, you know there is no way you can eat even half of it...my suggestion mini mac daddy pancakes...a spoof off of the burger sliders... Service is hit a miss...but mostly good. Food is always evolving and appears the chef and staff are trying to find that right balance between satisfiying visitors and residents...When they find that right combo...this place will be the place to be...

    Tried Mac 24/7 when I visited Honolulu for my cousin's wedding. We were looking for a unique breakfast experience, and I found this place on Yelp. Upon the arrival of my party of 5, we walked through a very modern-retro looking restaurant to our table. Definitely dig the decor! The atmosphere here is very cool! As for food, between the 5 of us, we shared an omelette and the Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Nut Pancakes. Let me tell you, with only two entrees, we did not even finish our food! Those pancakes are humongous!! The pancakes were a big showstopper in size, but in terms of taste.. I have to admit I was not super impressed. There's nothing really that ties everything together. With all the dry ingredients, the pancakes needed a drizzle of some kind of sauce. (And maple syrup did not do the trick.) If I ever come back here, I will probably try the Elvis pancakes! As for the omelette.. it was good, but nothing exciting. I think place is one to try, but you need to order the right stuff! I just need to figure out what the right stuff is..

    If you are drunk and in Waikiki, Mac 24-7 is probably your next stop. Hidden in the lobby of the Prince Kuhio Hotel, Mac 24-7 has a cool modern design and a menu designed around upscale comfort food. The service is spotty and has varied greatly on separate visits. One time we had a weird guy with spiky hair who said hi and then never came back. I'm actually not sure he even worked there, hopefully for the sake of the restaurant let's hope not. Another time we had a really sweet girl who gave us pretty decent service even though our group of 12 plus 2 kiddies freaked her out. You're just serving pancakes and grilled cheese. Relax! If you're a pancake lover then you'll adore Mac 24-7's selection of gourmet pancakes. I think pancakes are just a roundabout way of eating dessert in the morning...which I'm completely fine with! My fave pancake is the Elvis pancake which is topped with crumbled bacon and sweet peanut butter syrup. Yes it's really good! So good I'll venture my way into Waikiki, valet park and deal with spotty service. As my friend Michelle likes to say "I'm not eating the service!"

    Just like a bunch o' folks who recently yelped about this place, I'm wondering why it only has 3 stars. It seems that people have been having bad experiences with the service, but somehow I feel the owner of this place has been reading these reviews and making sure that's not a problem anymore. Because what I experienced today was top notch. We went for brunch, and from the looks of it, not many people do. Perhaps that's why service was so good and attentive. At first, we were seated in a booth in the bar area. There was NO one there. After we had our orders taken by Jose (ask for him!), he tells us there is an "outdoor" seating area. Wifey checked it out and the ambiance is nicer there, so we moved spots to one right next to the giant window overlooking the small outside courtyard. We quickly got our food and of course the portions were huge! I don't know what it is, but I always have to get the eggs benedict when I try a new place. So that's what I got and wifey got the chicken and waffles. They were so amazing. Just a quick mention, the chicken pieces are a breast, thigh, drumstick, and wing. They were SUPER crispy! This is quality fried chicken used as a giant savory topping on an amazing waffle. The gravy is just like the white sausage gravy that is used in the south--the DEEP south. I miss this. Jose came and talked with us for a little while, conversing, making small talk. It made it just that much more pleasant. They also didn't mind me dragging out my big camera shooting up the place. So I don't care what other people say, I'm coming here for brunch, breakfast, lunch, and maybe dinner. Mmm... I'm hungry already thinking about it...

    Came to this famous Mac 24/7 based on the hype and prestige from being on Man vs. Food. So, it was only time befor I tried this place since breakfast is my favorite meal. Came here with a group of about 10 or so and we were given the banquet room. The service was really good and they were really accomodating. The restaurant is really nice and clean. I did enjoy the modern decor. But, that's about all the positive I have for the restaurant. The food was just okay and way too over-priced for the quality. They give you LOTS of food, so maybe the price is justified in that respect. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and it was just ok. I thought the steak had too much breading and the food was super salty! Our two friends shared the Elvis pancake it was Gigantor. The two couldn't even finish half of the pancake! Anyways, a good place to check out and experience a different style of breakfast. The food is so-so, but the atmoshere is nice.

    Had a craving for eggs mid day and went here with my son. He had the eggs florentine and was happy. They were good! Instead of having eggs I got excited over the sweet potato gnocchi and ordered that. Gnocchi can be filling so I asked if the portion was big. I was told it was a small serving but since it was listed under the regular dishes I didn't expect the appetizer size that came out! And instead of gnocchi there were some purple globs of mushy batter! I asked the server where the gnocchi was and was told this is how they look! I have NEVER had gnocchi shaped liked that and they looked nothing like the photo a previous reviewer posted. I give three stars because at least the dish tasted good but those were NO GNOCCHIS and not a main dish so watch out!

    Just went to Mac 24/7 for the 7th or 8th time in the last year or two... As always, the food was excellent... The wait for the food is always long, but I've never been disappointed when it came, so the wait is worth it! Portions are great, the presentation is nice, and it always comes out hot! Some favorites are the chicken fried steak with white cheddar macaroni, or the Elvis giant pancakes... The service, however, leaves a bit to be desired. After being seated and handed menus, we had to ask to order drinks, which were not refilled until we had already finished eating our meal. Not only did our waitress not come to check on us during the meal, but there weren't really other staff on the floor we could flag to help us out with drink refills, or bread, which I'm pretty sure we asked for and never got. The one positive staffer was the bartender, Scott, who greeted us right when we walked in and seemed to be making conversation and attending to the many people seated at the bar.

    We were staying at waikiki banyan and were hungry after our beach trip, went in with least expectation because of the few reviews i read. We ordered Alfredo pasta, kids Mac n Cheese, Egg plant Lasangna and Chicken Adobo. All of the items were excellent my daughter loved the mac n cheese. Service was excellent. 70 bucks for three adults and a kid.

  • Shelley V.

    I just had to try this place after seeing it on Man vs Food; apparently the big draw is their gigantic Royal Canadian Mountie style pancakes. Since the pancakes were the size of my hubcaps on my car, I opted for their relatively normal sized Eggs Benedict. I have to say-pretty decent. Not too much hollandaise sauce - english muffin a little soggy but tasty enough. J had the Farm Fresh ( I think that was the name ) Special. It had eggs, normal sized pancakes, bacon etc. She seemed to like it well enough! This restaurant is on the ground floor of the Hilton and is open 24 hours. A good deal if you are craving 3am pancakes! I think if I was in the area, I would definitely stop by!

    Ordered the blueberry pancakes and it was alright. Not a big deal compared to other places. I've had better. My mother and cousins had the breakfast buffet which was a better deal.

    THIS REVIEW SHOULD ONLY BE FOR THE MAC LOCO MOCO. deets: MAC 24/7 is hidden underneath the greenish awnings of the prince kuhio hotel... obviously open all night, mac is a great place to chillax after a long night of playing harddd! great location, but the prices are a little steeep especially after you and the crew have spent plenty @ the bars all night. the portions are larger eats: finding the perfect loco moco is what i was put on this earth to do. BESIDES the price, the mac loco moco is the epitome of that gravy-smothered dish all locals crave. simply put, the mac loco moco is delicious. try it and thank me later. 5 stars for that bad boy alone, although AGAIN, the price could use some work!

    A friend of mine suggested MAC 247 and when we realized its a 5 minute walk from our hotel, we decided to give it a try. We had seen the Man vs. Food challenge and knew going in that we weren't going to attempt the challenge (Eat 4 POUNDS of pancakes? ummm no). I ordered the smallest pancakes they had and could only finish a third of my plate. I got the Banana Walnut chocolate chunk pancakes. It was good but the bananas weren't fresh. They were warmed up kind of like pie filling. They were warm and gushy and I didn't like that. I love banana pancakes, but these bananas were ucky. Maybe the other choices are better. Service/Ambiance was 3 star however.

  • Mitch R.

    We went here for supper and liked it! Even though it is a 24-hour restaurant, the food is much more upscale than a typical diner. The menu items were creative and incorporated a lot of local ingredients and flavors. The ginger ale drink I had was amazing and fresh. The appetizers were good, but unremarkable. For entrees, one person tried the meatloaf, and it and the potatoes accompanying it were delicious. All the servings here are generous. Two of us had a fish special that night: opah. The piece of fish was large and grilled to perfection. I didn't really like the particular preparation that night (some cream sauce and capers?) that somewhat masked the flavor of the fish. I would have just liked it simply grilled. Our server, Pam, was excellent and anticipated everything we needed.

    We requested recommendations from some locals for where to get some good food (specifically Loco Moco, since I was craving it after having been on the island for a few days and not yet having had it yet) while we were visiting in Waikiki. They recommended Mac 24-7 and it was only a few blocks from our hotel. When walking in, we thought we might have been lost since you have to go through the hotel's hallways to get there. We finally found it, were seated promptly, but then waited quite a while before we were greated. It was just two of us and we both ordered a coffee drink (alcoholic beverage that didn't even taste good!) and the Loco Moco. Our server was fairly rude, didn't say much to us besides taking our order and dropping off the check (someone else ran our food). The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. The Loco Moco entree cost $17 each, as did our coffee! We requested verification on the cost of our drink and our server said that was correct. Our bill was about $75 and we left there quite disappointed. When we told the local who recommended the joint, he told us he hadn't been there in a long time, but had heard good things... He apologized and realized his sources weren't too credible. I've been to more Denny's & IHOP's with better late night service than this restaurant who charged triple! I would NOT recommend going here and I will definitely NOT return when we head back to Hawaii!

    I don't usually write reviews, but I had to write one for this occasion. I came here about 3 years ago and had the banana pancakes not knowing it was HUGE! Well, the awesomeness of the size was neat, but the taste was not so great! I hesitated to come back again, but did. It was my son's 5th birthday on 2/7/13 and I knew he'd be overjoyed by the size of his favorite food...pancakes! He wouldn't even really care about the taste, so we came. He of course ordered blueberry pancakes and was amazed and sooo happy. Marc, our most awesome waiter which I will get to in a second, brought out his pancakes earlier than our food without us even having to ask AND put candles on top for him! We all had some pancakes but also ordered our own entrees as well. These pancakes were sooo much better than the last time I came. We were all surprised that such big pancakes could taste so yummy! Our other entrees were just as good too! Now, back to Marc with a "c"! He was sooo very wonderful with us and especially my son. He made him feel so special, sang happy birthday to him when we were told on the phone upon trying to make the reservations they don't do that, because jokingly the receptionist said I don't think you'd want them to sing! Lol. My son loves to talk and Marc indulged him every single time he came by and made him feel so great! We joked with him and he even danced! Lol. He never made us feel rushed or bothered and I'm sure he was busy with other tables. If I could give Marc 10 stars I would, he was the best waiter/waitress I've ever had of all time! He kept checking on us and did what he was supposed to do of course too. The other people who were working were great too. The prices weren't too bad either. I was pleasantly surprised that it was lower than expected with as much as we ordered! I would definitely come back again since breakfast is our favorite meal! Thank you Mac 24/7 for making this an unforgettable fun night for ALL of us!

    Great spicy asian wings and mai Tai. The place was very laid back and quiet on a Friday evening. I was expecting some type of club scene from what I read on the website however there was not much going on. The food was decent- I ordered Mac and cheese with fried chicken and my boyfriend had the chicken parmigiana. We both enjoyed our visit.

    I am a HUGE breakfast fan so when I first tried this place I was in la la land. I mean COME ON monster pancakes?!?!? yeeeeha. Well, after eating a fifth of the monster set I was pancaked out. I had to order some sausages to get all that carb semi balanced. Also, $15 for 3 pancakes..................kinda pricey but still fun. I heard that Man Vs. Food was there and he took the challenge and failed, I can see why. Still, i am a Huge fan of the breakfast and will go back again! YUM!!

    Good place to tame the late night hunger. They have a variety of menu items; HUMONGOUS pancakes, waffles, omelets, sandwiches/burgers,mac & cheese, pork chops, desserts and more. We had the chicken and waffles (my fave flavor combo: sweet/salty/savory/crunchy), two sides of deep fried pickles with ketchup (you MUST try), and the banana split and waffle sundae for dessert. Downside to last night's dinner: -1 star for bad service. our waiter was very stoic and "un-customer service-like". i am a stickler for customer service, especially if they weren't even busy, but still manage to not give you the time of day. -1 star for a long long long long wait (about half an hour). it was soo slow! maybe like 5 tables, tops! I got my sundae about 5 minutes after everyone else got their food. BOO. fyi:the atmosphere has a bar/lounge-y feeling with music blasting so loud. be prepared to yell across to talk to your friends.

    Food was good for the price. Ordered a Redbull Cocktail and a Miller Light and forgot I couldn't order two drinks at a time. However later the waiter seemed to keep ducking me to avoid allowing me to order anything else. My family was asked if they wanted anything else or refills except for me. Once he had taken my empty glass and finally refilled my water he didn't even bother asking if I still wanted anything else and swiftly turned his back to me and ran off. Not sure what happened there but I sure was discouraged by our waiter's attitude towards me. The only things I even said were what I initially ordered and didn't get to even say anything more than that.

    Awesome eggs Benedict! A cool place to hang out. I checked into this restaurant and got a checkin reward (50% off of Mac-cano Eruption, a $18 drink and it was delicious!). I saw pictures of dishes on yelp that I didn't see on the breakfast menu. I would definitely go back to check out the dinner menu.

    We ate here on the morning we left Honolulu, and even though we were pretty much still full from our week long eating adventure, we obviously had to order the Mac Daddy pancake to share - blueberries with a sugar glaze ;9 When this bad boy came, it was indeed intimidating. Hidden underneath the peak of fresh sweet blueberries, laid three stacks bigger than yo head! Upon dissecting the beast, mounds of blueberries were baked into the fluffy, doughy batter. I believe the staff said it weighed 4pounds, and proceeded to tell us stories of all who conquered that monstrosity. Fastest time (the current hot dog eating champ), most unexpected (female) finisher, those who came in over confident and expecting to devour but instead throwing in the towel at a mere 1/8 of a way in. It was a fun(ny) experience. The actual show stopper however was the smoked salmon eggs benedict that I ordered. Let me tell you, it was DELISH! Fresh sautéed spinach, buttered and mixed up with smoky fresh salmon, smothered in a rich hollandaise sauce. Mmmm mmm good. Came for the novelty, went away eating one of the best eggs benedict to date. w/o the eggs benedict, prob a 3.5 star place. but upgraded to 4 stars for combination of great friendly staff and the yummy eggs benedict. Tip: SHARE! our group of 7 didn't put a dent in the pancakes, but we also ordered our own entrees.

    It's a nice place to go to on a Sunday morning after a long night out. Great location, but the staff lacks urgency and personality. They recently changed their menu and now offer "gluten-free" items, and some healthier options. Do try the eggs Benedict, and stay clear from the fried shrimp and calamari.

  • Daniel K.

    Like anywhere, the rating depends on what you order. We must have ordered the wrong items, because the quality was lacking, especially for over charging Waikiki prices. Went there after the marathon and our table had a cheeseburger, turkey club sandwich and waffles. "Dry" describes the cheeseburger and club sand the best. Not sure how you can ruin either, but both had a bite or two that were average at best. And for $14, you can definitely find better tasting waffles. There was more whipped cream on the plate than the waffle. Service was friendly, but painfully slow. The table next to us took the pancake challenge (as seen on Man vs Food). 3 extra large pancakes stacked (each the size of a "STOP" sign). They only got through a quarter of the stack before giving up. And it wasn't because he was full, but he commented that the pancakes tasted like flour and water and too dry to finish. In the end, the pancakes were dumped. What a waste of food! That's why I hate food eating challenges (and competitions). Better choices available if you're staying in Waikiki and for locals, definitely not worth the extra effort to go in to Waikiki and pay the parking fees.

    I initially went to Eggs N Things to eat and the line was out the door and decided to eat here. Little on the expensive side but this place is definitely worth it - if you compare prices, its a little more but you get proper dishes and silverware to eat off of, which is the main reason why I decided to eat somewhere other than Eggs N Things. The atmosphere is definitely contemporary, the furniture and decor is most definitely up to date. It made me feel like I was eating at a more expensive restaurant. Service was excellent, my server was very attentive to my needs without bothering me too much. I saw someone eating the mac daddy pancakes, and I was speechless at the size of them. I ordered the Mac attack (French toast or pancakes; I got the french toast. Also comes with eggs any style you want, 2 pork link sausages, 2 pieces of bacon and potatoes) The eggs were something I could have cooked up (I ordered them overeasy) and the link sausages were like the frozen ones I could have gotten at the grocery store. Don't get me wrong, they taste great I'm just saying they weren't anything special and definitely not made from scratch. The potatoes were very tasty and enjoyed them very much. The bacon was to die for. If this was like the sausage and bought and just cooked, they did a damn good job. It was cooked just right to my liking - with a mixture of crisp and chewiness. The french toast was very tasty as well. Drank a guava mimosa with this breakfast and I have to say that was great too but $10 for it is a little steep. Overall, great place to eat and worth the money. I checked in and got a coupon for half off a MAC-cano Eruption Cocktail - 32 ounce cocktail normally 18 bucks (I'll let you do the math LOL). I'll be back to use it sometime!

    Good old American food. Service was solid. Good choices of beer. Family friendly. Overpriced, but not unusual given its location.

    Baked potato soup: A little salty but packed with flavor and bacon! Chicken and waffles: Wicked generous portion! It was a large waffle (super crunchy) topped with a chicken thigh, breast, drumstick and a wing! Served with syrup, white gravy, and a couple of pepperoncinis. I ended up dipping my chicken in my leftover soup. Yum. Plantation iced tea: Standard. Service was lovely. Jared was a hoot. Great fun!

    Went here for dinner, but got breakfast. Had to try the Mac Daddy pancakes. As one can expect, when you get pancakes that big they tend to be a bit dry and thick. I got the ones with pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nuts. The combination of these items made the pancakes quite sweet and delicious, however, as I stated above they do get dry. This order of pancakes could easily feed 3 people. Overall, while the pancakes are delicious and a site to be seen, I don't think it is worth a second trip!

    Inside Hilton Prince Kuhio. Open 24 hours. Contemporary Diner-esque. We came for the Mac Daddy pancakes. You know, the three 14" pancakes loaded with your choice of toppings for $15. I think I'm good on pancakes for a while now.. I honestly wanted to make the Mac Daddy Hall of Fame and finish. But, knowing this is unlikely, I shared. Two people vs. Mac Daddy Pancakes, it was sad. We hardly ate a quarter of it. Our server offered us a box to take the rest with us but the amount of pancakes we ate put us both off pancakes for a while. Eating more of it didn't sound appealing at all. Aside from the pancakes, I tried the plantation iced tea and didn't care for it. It's like an Arnold Palmer but instead of lemonade they used pineapple juice. If you valet your car and give them your receipt for dining in Mac 24-7, it's only $3. Great deal for valet or better yet-- parking in Hawaii PERIOD.

    three words...chicken and waffles - absolutely delicious! I've had this before and it was just as good as the last time. Consistency is everything to me and I wasn't disappointed! The last time I ate the whole thing. This time I wisely shared with my wife who ordered the roasted tomato soup and cheese sandwich. I thought I was getting the raw deal sharing meals until I tasted the soup. It was to die for. So rich and creamy. Probably one of the best tomato soups I've ever had. The cheese sandwhich was comfort food at it's best. I will order this the next time we go. This is one of the best values in town. Delicious, convenient valet parking, and nice atmosphere. All of the staff were really nice and friendly. We will definitely be back soon!

    My husband and i were looking for a place to eat good loco moco! I know Mac 24/7 is known for their pancakes, however I wanted to yelp about our island favorite the Loco Moco! The serving was pretty big, i guess many things are served big here. The meat was nicely moist, nicely cooked ( medium rare) and the gravy was awesome. The rice was a little on the mushy side, but the gravy saved it! The atmosphere was like a diner, and if i am not mistaken they have a full bar. If you are in the area, you should try it but I don't think you have to out of your way to try it out.

  • Seri M.

    I was really hungry and it was late, so not a lot of options for dining. I feel like Mac 24/7 is just like Denny's Hawaiian style, so it is not even worth reviewing, but since it was on Man vs. Food, I just have to give it a review. The meat loaf was awful and mashed potatoes were just boxed flakes with like parsley thrown on it. I say the meat loaf was awful because the meat had no flavor and like a teaspoon of gravy on it. We didn't get the onion rings on it like described in the menu. For $18, this is ridiculous. boo. The loco moco ($17) wasn't much better. It looked like the freaking meatloaf's half turd cousin. The char siu saimin was alright. The only thing I would ever get again would be the banana, walnut, and chocolate chunks pancakes bc those suckers were huge and the box it came in weighed about 15lbs. They were definitely filling and if I were a drunk gal going to Mac 24/7 after a night of clubbing, I would love it. All in all, the food at Mac 24/7 is for drunk people to eat after the club to sober up a bit before going home.

    I'm surprised with the lackluster reviews on Mac 24/7! It is probably my favorite spot for breakfast on Oahu when I am craving the whole eggs, bacon, pancake thing. I have been about 5 or 6 times now and admittedly have ordered the same thing every time: Mac Attack for $16. It comes with french toast or pancakes and freestyle eggs, breakfast potatoes (home fries..at least that's what I call them), bacon, sausage links (2), and if I remember correctly there's some fruit in there too. I always get the blueberry pancakes and they are always delicious! The only thing I will agree with is that the service definitely leaves something to be desired. If we didn't enjoy the breakfast so much then we probably wouldn't return. It's not the worst service I've ever had, but it's not the best. The decor is simple and modern; diner-ish. Clean and well-lit with a nice floor-to-ceiling window on the whole left side of the restaurant that looks out onto the little garden area of the Hilton. If you're looking for that all-American breakfast (don't get duped into the "Best Pancakes on Oahu" at the Koa Pancake House!) and a giant mug of Starbucks coffee then Mac's is a great option.

    Was told by locals that this place was a diner, which it was but the interior was nicer than your average late night diner. Got the salmon benedict and would definitely recommend it. Yelp checkin also got us half off MAC-cano Eruption Cocktails. They came out surprisingly large, 32oz, sweet and refreshing.

    Worst breakfast ever. As a Hilton Honors member and avid business traveller, I was stunned to experience such horrible, yes HORRIBLE food quality. Lumpy and curdled cream at our table, cold, moist and tasteless breakfast potatoes and hours or day-old bacon. I love crispy bacon, but this stuff was rock-hard, charred and a criminal presentation of the best breakfast meat on the planet. My wife's yogurt parfait had almost no yogurt, soggy granola and chunks of fruit that were too big for her spoon. Except for decent service, this place is an embarrassment to the Hilton brand, but we were too short of time to complain. We would have done better picking up some muffins in the gift shop.

  • Samuel M.

    They have some great salads here. I have been staying at the Hilton for a month for work and have eaten here a lot. All the salads are great, the pancakes are amazing and really rich. Stay away from the pulled pork sandwich, definitely one of the worst I've had. The drinks are poured strong. Had a blood Mary that had me a little tipsy afterward. The wait staff is friendly and fairly attentive.

  • Sara S.

    you MUST really love breakfast like me to really LOVE this place. It was great and since we went at happy hour we got a few drinks that were good as well. (the lava flow was my favorite) We didn't take the challage but we both got pancakes, and the blueberry and the brownsugar were both awesome.

    I ate here the other night with some coworkers, and I knew it was gonna suck right away. We broke a cardinal rule of mine, by not sitting at the bar. I was downstairs in the executive lounge when my coworkers got the table, and they sent me a text when they were sat. I went up stairs to join them and knew we were in for it when I saw that they were sat in the main dining room with a view of the garden. First thing I notice when we sit down is the freeze machine of an AC vent whipping cold wind on us and our table. When the waiter comes by to take our drink order I ask if he could turn down the air and he replied with a simple, no. Then he explained that it couldn't be done, and there was nothing he could do about it. Strike one. As I had already had some snacks downstairs, I really only wanted to split a soup and salad. So we order a Caesar salad, and the tomato soup with grilled cheese. As this is my thousandth time eating at Mac 24/7 I know how it's served and I know how I like it. I ask the waiter to serve the salad first, with no tomatoes, and to chop and toss it, as I don't like needing a knife to cut my salad which is served as whole leafed romaine. 15 minutes pass and I ask the waiter, any luck on that salad, to which he replies, oh you wanted that now? If you have read my previous reviews of this place, one of my biggest criticisms of this place is how the salad person makes the salads as soon as the order is placed, and then sets it on the counter where it dies while waiting to be served. So my fears were confirmed when the waiter shows up with a limp and listless salad that not only was served well after it was made, but it wasn't cut or tossed. I send it back to be served as I ordered it, and was dumb struck when he returned with the same salad and not a fresh new one. Oh well... Strike two. Moments after the salad debacle, the entrees arrive... Having just received the salad, we were not ready for the soup. So the soup sat there cooling under the freeze jet AC breeze, and by the time I got to the soup is was room temperature at best. The grilled cheese was more like toast than a real grilled cheese. The bread was very hard and the cheese in between the slices of toast was almost negligible. Strike three... The sad thing is, this restaurant knows about their service issues. They have done a fantastic job at addressing the food issues they had by employing a new chef, yet the service still sucks. I will definitely eat here again, as I alway do while staying here at the Hilton, but I will stick to my rule of only eating at the counter where the bartenders usually provide great service.

    This is anice little 24 hour bistro with an excellent ahi salad. I needed to eat after arriving on a late flight and was surprised to find a non-Denny's like experience! The counter is a great place to sit if dining alone and expect great conversation and lot's of locals.

    So the last time I went to this place was when they first opened (before Yelp existed in Honolulu lol). Tried it a couple of times back then without any good experiences, so never thought of going back. This time was no better. (initial minus one star for bad past history.) After a mildly heavy night of drinking, my friend wanted to go there. I tagged along, not so much as I was hungry, but just for the continued company (and he wouldn't have eaten anything if I didn't go, and I didn't want him to drive home intoxicated). It was pretty empty at 2am (duh!) but we elected to sit at the bar. It took some time for the bartender to come and take our orders (not even sure what he was doing at the other end of the bar? minus one star), but we were busy talking, so I didn't mind so much. Once taking our orders, he was pretty efficient with the utensils and the food came out pretty quickly. It was pretty standard breakfast fare; nothing to really Yelp about (haha minus another star) except that the portions were pretty hearty. Even when we left, I had a bad taste in my mouth. Not because of the food, but because when I asked the host for a toothpick, he gave me this "WTF, really?" look since he had just rolled them all up in some napkin thing (not even sure what he was doing with them). Since he looked so disturbed about it, I told him nevermind and went to sit on the bench while my friend went to the bathroom (minus one star). Well, shortly after, a bunch of girls came out and they asked the host for toothpicks, which he gladly gave them. A royal case of sexism if I ever saw one (minus the final star). However, there was ONE redeeming factor for this visit, so I'll give them back one star (in addition to the fact that Yelp won't let you give zero stars). The enjoyable part of the experience was the pastry chef. She was bustling behind the bar with an energy of someone that just started their day at a job they thoroughly enjoyed. She was singing along to the overhead music and smiling and having a good old time by herself. We were so entertained watching her that we complimented her on her energy! She pleasantly chatted with us for a few minutes before admitting that she had already been working 13 hours and had another 3 to go! That was absolutely amazing! Maybe she could give her fellow staff members some pointers to good energy and positive customer engagement to make the service in this place worth Yelping about.

    I haven't been back ever since the first time I came here, so this review will be based on my first experience there. Initially I was quite excited. I got off work and I took a couple of friends (One of which came back from the mainland for vacation) to Mac 24/7. After having watched Man versus Food: Hawai'i, I was even more excited to try their food. However, service was just bad. When we got there we were greeted and seated very quickly. Here's where the experience took a nosedive. It wasn't relatively late (Around 11:00 P.M.) or busy, and there were still a couple of people at the bar and tables. We sat down, and waited 10 - 15 minutes and we had to personally draw the attention of a worker (Who by the way, walked past us 4 - 5 times). He took our drink orders, which took another 10 minutes to arrive, and finally we put in our food order. I must stress that it wasn't busy, nor was our order big either, and the wait for the food was outrageous. We ordered a blueberry pancake and a loco moco; THAT'S IT. We waited between 40 minutes to an hour before our food finally arrived. Ridiculous. Why 2-stars, and not 1? Because the food was tasty. The different types of syrup provided was delicious. They also realized how long we waited, and comped our drinks. Being with my friends was the redeeming factor of the night (Cause eating out is only enjoyable with friends anyway). Maybe I will be back to try them again one day when I have more time. Others may say otherwise, but it seems like a gamble to me now. Waiting almost an hour for food, after work, isn't what I consider enjoyable. I could of driven home and cooked a ramen before the food arrives (lol). I recommend this place for their large pancakes.

    I wanted to try this place, but was very disappointed. Their food was overpriced for something that seemed very ordinary. Nothing special I see going there for. Also, the waiter seemed a bit impatient and wasn't friendly. Maybe their breakfast items are better and it may be best to go after 10pm, but my dinner experienced there just SUCKED!

    The Elvis pancakes were amazing! However, service was really bad, which brought my rating down. My group was there for two hours in which time water was never filled, plates were not cleared until we asked 45 minutes later, and the bill had to be requested after sitting there for two hours. :(

    I would have given them 5 stars. I had to take 2 off because of the service, the food was outstanding. It took our server at least 15 min to get us some water. Got our drink order, 15 mins later came back to take our order. The food took awhile to arrive, but when it did. It was worth the wait. I got the crispy chicken which was as a local would say... Broke da mouth!!! Ono, I would come back again just to try the breakfast which sounded good. Other than that the experience as a whole was pretty positive...

  • jeannine s.

    I've been here a few times now and have never really been impressed. I've had Sumo Saimin, pancakes as big as a large pan of pie, chicken and waffles and some kind of ono special on my most recent encounter. My palate was never really satisfied: something was not salty enough, not seasoned enough or not crispy enough. If my eyes were as big as saucers and my belly was as big as a commercial fridge, we'll maybe there would be something more there for me. But aside from the generous portions served, and the fact that service has improved overall, a least this place gives you an option of where to eat whenever you like. Ohh, and they do have a room you can reserve for a private dinner party. So, that adds to the options.

  • Vinbo B.

    I thought the food here was mediocre at best. My girlfriend ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos which were barely filled with any fish at all. The soft taco was quite large, but not large on taste. I had the adobo chicken thighs. It came with some adobo flavored potatoes and fried rice. Again, mediocre at best. The portion was quite large, but I lost my appetite after eating one piece of chicken. Their claim to fame are their pancakes featured on Man Vs. Food---talked to a guy eating them next to me, and he said they were mealy and devoid of any taste. If you are staying at the Hilton Waikiki, you are better off saving your money and eating the MUCH better food at the free appetizers in the Executive Lounge in the lower lobby. Even if you don't have access to the Lounge, just wait until someone comes out and go inside.

  • Shelly i.

    When I first started coming here I ordered a lot of different stuff: mac and cheese, tomato and Maui onion salad, tuna melt... but then I ordered the chicken and waffles and I have not deviated the last 4 times I went. Boring, yeah? But they are just that good. The chicken is moist and tasty and doesn't have too much breading and the waffles are fluffy on the inside with a nice crust (that doesn't last once you put on the gravy, obviously). I love the gravy and wish they gave you bigger gravy boats. You could probably make two meals out of this, but I don't like reheated fried foods or waffles so I eat it all in one sitting. If I remember correctly, it runs about $18. Also, the first time I ordered it the waiter told me his recommended method for eating it was cutting up the chicken and putting it on top of the waffle. Works for me! Their cupcakes are also large enough for two and to die for. I love the coconut one. One caveat: the salad I ordered with Maui onion before I fell in love with the chicken and waffles? I highly doubt that was real Maui onion.

    A 24-hour hotel restaurant diner. Made somewhat famous from Man vs Food with Food (pancake stack) winning. Interior is pretty clean. I'd at least expect that from a hotel restaurant. Looks like half a retro and modern diner. Service is ok. They check up occasionally and stuff. They are notorious for their giant pancakes. Big, massive stacks of flour, water, and whatever they put inside. You could feed a small party on a stack of them. However, all in all, it's pretty mediocre other than the fact it's huge. The rest of the food is good, but the pricing is pretty high. You could probably end world hunger with pancakes.

  • Inland O.

    We came here wanting the novelty of eating a 4lb. pancake - 3 adults barely finished 1/3 of the stack. Unfortunately the pancake didn't taste very good, kind of dry, not very fluffy. It does come with 3 different sauces, syrup, coconut sauce and a 3rd mystery sauce. I actually asked for a side of eggs and a side of portugese sausage - those came out to be $4 each (5 pieces of sausage)... Bottomline: nice restaurant, great futuristic/old school diner decor - the pancake is not very good but if you have a big group it would be worthwhile to check out the giant pancakes.. that is all.

    Great breakfast potatoes. Great pancakes. Great xangos dessert. Fresh fruit! This place has home food and a few healthy alternatives, and open 24/7! There is also fun and trendy decor for a casual spot to grab some grub or meet for a late night dressy drink. It's a little on the expensive side, but the food is great, and it is convenient. Plates are about $15.

    This place is a bit pricey for type of food they serve which you can find at any American restaurant. The host nicely seated us and handed us our menus. Two minutes later a man comes to our table with a sticky note pad and looks at us. Confuse as i was, not sure if that was our server, hence he didn't introduce himself nor did he welcome us. I told him we weren't ready and to come back. Very unprofessional. Anyways to the food... I had the chicken fried steak with the famous mac and cheese which also comes with spinach sprinkled with bacon bits hidden underneath the chicken fried steak. I now understand why this food is expensive, it's because the portions are HUGE! It probably could have fed 2-3 people. My food was good and i was stuffed after only eating 1/3 of it. My boyfriend ordered the Angus Burger with Swiss cheese w/ french fries. Safe choice right? Wrong! I felt bad for for him because his burger was charbroiled burnt! i bit a piece after i told him it didn't look too bad and my verdict was... sorry babe it's burnt! We waited to flag down our server but he was no where to be found. Boyfriend ate most of the french fries while waiting, and by the time we finally eyed him down and told him it was burnt, he assured us that its the way it suppose to be. ARE YOU SERIOUS? You serve burnt burgers to your customers and tell them that's how its suppose to be, then WARNING TO ALL CUSTOMERS, DO NOT ORDER THE BURGERS! When he finally realize we weren't gonna eat it and accept it as the way its suppose to be he then offers us another burger or anything else. No thank you. We asked for it to be taken off the bill because the boyfriend didn't have an appetite and just wanted to pay the bill and get out of there. It a hit or miss place. After reading other reviews, i see that the food is good but the service is lacking. Its funny because the whole time we were having our lunch the general manager was right next to us talking to a couple complaining about the service they've experience. I must agree the service we had was a bit slow and our server wasn't to happy to serve us. The general manager was saying that it was his first week for the early shift and that he was trying to help change the reputation of this place. Not once did he come to any of the other tables and see how the rest were doing but instead trying to win over the couple and guarantee that they were going to be handled and meals were on him. blah blah blah.. not great to over hear while trying to enjoy a nice lunch when you also just experience bad service and burnt food. Over price food and worst service we had in Hawaii. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I actually feel bad for the Hiltons to have this place inside their hotel. The only reason i am giving 2 stars is that it was very convient for us since we were staying at the Hilton Price Kuhio and there was no wait, and I actually enjoyed my meal until i overheard the conversation next to us that made me notice the service we had and ruined it for me!

    Seriously, I am BAFFLED as to why Mac 24/7 has a low overall score. Believe me, I can be picky, and I am not afraid of dishing out a low rating when need be. This place has delicious-downright delectable-food. Everything either me or any of my friends have ordered off the menu (beef stew in a sourdough bowl, salmon filet, mac and cheese, basketball sized pancakes) has been phenomenal. AND, they're open 24 hours a day?!?!?!? Get the H out of here- done deal. Six stars. Oh, and the last trip we made here, a woman was choking on her food and our waiter administered the heimlich maneuver and saved her! Now if that's not 5 star service I don't know what is. Don't believe the low score rating, this place is phenom.

    YUCK!!! Food is overpriced and bland here. I was a victim of the tourist trap and that will never happen again.

    The brunch here was insanely good. I ordered the salmon Bennedict and it was spectacular. We also ordered the classic Mai Tai's and they were pretty damn good.

    I thought this place was great for breakfast. I don't usually order pancakes with crazy toppings, I like just maple syrup and thats it. But I had the cinnamon and vanilla glaze with coconut syrup. Wow... the best combination I had for breakfast since toast and eggs. Never had coconut syrup before and it was delicious. it was a little pricy 12-16 dollar range. Not bad for Waikiki and being in the Hilton Hotel. I would definitely go back again. plus they have a dish that has the hashbrowns and sausage that comes with a meal usually you have to have a side order of hashbrowns to get them included.

    The prices are a bit high but not out of line compared to other establishments within major hotels. The big buzz here is the Uber-Pancakes. One order can easily feed four adults. Perfect if you are traveling with your pack of crumb crunchers. We felt bad about not finishing the plate until the waiter told us that our left-over's go to the local pig farmer.

    Mele Kalikimaka and all that. On Christmas Eve all the fancy restaurants were booked until 9:30 or 10:00 pm, so we took off down the street to see what we could find. Mac 24-7, open 24 hours a day. At first I was a little taken aback, because the plastic and aluminum decor almost gave me a hangover on the spot. But the right wall was calm waves, a waterfall in concrete, and we were shown a booth immediately. Margaret chose fried chicken, and asked for a substitution of mashed potatoes and gravy for the usual waffle. The waiter was pleased, and happy to order the substitution. She ordered a glass of cabernet, which was a nice way to celebrate in a diner. I ordered a reuben sandwich, which had a nice lean pastrami in it. I thought it was not crisp enough, but Margaret declared it delicious. This was a BIG sandwich, by the way. I ordered a Heineken, after discussing the fact that Amstel was listed as a domestic beer on the menu. A vote of the waitstaff agreed that Amstel was Dutch. For dessert we ordered tea and a "killer cupcake." It turned out this cupcake was about the size of FOUR normal cupcakes. The tab came to $57.59 + tip.

    I've always worried about reviews that are based on a single experience. I had intended to post a review of a San Francisco restaurant after having a horrible experience there, but after going back a few times during a recent trip, I realized that a store/restaurant/establishment is the sum of all its days, not just one. Things get worse, things get better, but they're never static. So I try not to review places unless I've been there at least two or three times. I'll qualify this review to say that on at least half a dozen occasions, I've had a completely comped meal at MAC 24/7. Being able to eat whatever you want, however much of it you want, without ever paying a dime...well, that could color someone's view of a place and allow said person to overlook bad things. The fact that on those occasions I was accompanied by the hotel's catering manager would also mean that I'd probably always get great service. Having said all of that, though, I've also been there when I wasn't being wined/dined in the hopes I'd spend bucks by booking an event at the hotel, when I wasn't in the company of a hotel big wig, and when I'd actually have to whip out my wallet at the end of the meal. And, qualitatively, there's never really been a difference. The restaurant was part of a multi-million dollar renovation of the hotel and is in the spot, I believe, where the old Trellises restaurant once was. MAC 24/7 is decked out in a funky orange, with clean lines and bright lights. The vibe is definitely modern. The music and television noise can be bothersome if you sit on the side fronting the bar. Ask to be seated in the area that looks out into the courtyard if that sort of thing bothers you. The food here is contemporary, served on the kind of large, white, modern plating so common nowdays. And while the gigantic pancakes seem to get most of the attention from media and reviewers, I find them to be a little disgusting as far as pancakes go. First, what's the point of having a pancake the size of a steering wheel? A normal person can't eat that much in a single sitting and warmed up leftover pancake...well, how good can that really be? MAC's other food, though, has been consistently good. Whether it's a burger, or their killer meatloaf, the mac-n-cheese (get it?) or fried chicken with waffle (not as weird as it sounds), I've never had a meal that wasn't delicious. The service has also always been very good, so I'm a little amazed that so many folks have had a bad experience with that. Although it's hidden away inside the Prince Kuhio Hotel the parking is valet, and the restaurant validates. I'd agree that unless you're already in Waikiki, there's nothing particularly compelling about the food - no signature dish save those gigantic pancakes - that should make you drive into that part of town. And as a Waikiki restaurant, you won't be paying fast food prices, either. But if you happen to be in the area, I doubt you'd have a bad food experience at MAC.

    Just happen to walk in. And I read the menu I see that the guy from man Vs food did challenge here. It's three 14 inch pancakes! I know I couldn't do it so I just got the Mac attack. Service was good really friendly and nice.

    We had dinner here a couple of nights ago and it was very good. We were seated right away and our server was very polite. I had the Pan Asian Chicken Salad - very fresh and light. My boyfriend had the Chicken Fried Steak and Mac-n-Cheese. The steak was good and huge, the Mac-n-cheese was really good too. Prices were reasonable.

    The "modern" in Modern American Cuisine 24/7 refers only to the decor of the restaurant, not the actual cuisine. The restaurant is done up nicely in a sparse, modern, bright new diner look, but feels cold and bare after you've been sitting a while. It looks very trendy, and the customer demographic seems to be all people in their 20s and 30s. The menu offerings range from breakfast foods to sandwiches and burgers to entrees like lobster pot pie ($28), meatloaf ($17), fish, and pasta. I recommend sticking to breakfast foods like waffles and pancakes, as they offer the best value for your money. We ordered the tomato and Maui onion salad ($9), large tomato soup with a white cheddar grilled cheese sandwich ($10), the chicken and waffles ($17), and the Elvis pancake ($14). The Elvis pancake was the only thing on the menu that was fun and interesting. It was a stack of three 14-inch wide peanut butter pancakes with crisp bacon bits strewn over it and a bit of peanut butter maple syrup. I thought it was good because I love bacon, I like peanut butter, and I didn't mind that the pancakes were on the chewy side. My friends thought it sounded disgusting at first, but then they really went for it. It's also the only good deal on the very expensive menu. The tomato and Maui onion salad was standard steakhouse fare: slices of tomato and onions in a light vinaigrette covered with crispy onion shoestrings and some low quality blue cheese. The grilled cheese sandwich in the tomato soup combo was grilled really, really well. It was so golden and crisp on the outside. I hated the tomato soup. It was too bitter, salty, and sour for me. The end product in cooking shouldn't mask the natural sweetness and flavors of the main ingredients. The tomato soup didn't taste like ripe, juicy tomatoes. It was orange, cheesy, smelly, and too strong. It tasted like they mixed a can of tomato paste with a can of tomato sauce and added cheese. The chicken and waffles were just fried chicken breast, thigh, drumstick, and wing on a waffle with country gravy. Everything looked great, but tasted bland. Prices here are much too high for what you get. They try to make the entrees look large, but it isn't worth the price. The next table ordered the sumo saimin, and it came in a whopping huge bowl, but if you look inside, the portion is really the same as you would get in any ramen place, but here they charge $14 for a bowl. And really, pancake batter and saimin noodles aren't high-cost items for the restaurant. I gave MAC 24/7 two stars because of the originality and fun factor of the Elvis pancake.

    was purely cooincidense walking around waikiki when it was spam jam. niice. found the mac24/7 tent after passing the left aisle n then returning scanning the right isle. there wasn't that many people in line, but saw them scooping the portugese bean soup / chilli looking beef sausage sauce onto the rice and then putting spam chips and cilantro (best vegetable) on top and so i think.. i like it.. had 3 bowls ($4/bowl). was really good. went home and bookmark mac24/7. its not on the usual menu at the restaurant. oookie dokie, next...

    One of my top 3 breakfast places of all time! I'm talking about just the food, of course. THE BEST pancakes, ever! And yes, I have been to Kailua and tried the other 2 breaky spots too. I do miss the chicken and waffles on the menu though. What happened guys?! There are MANY other tasty choices but when i was craving waffles you were the place to hit. :( Oh well! I digress... Other positives - cool decor, clean, bathrooms close by, valet parking with validation, and great service at the counter! Overall: Gotta try this place if you haven't yet. It was featured on the Food Network for a reason- awesome food! Oh yeah, and sit at the counter if you are a stickler about service. Jus' sayin'!

    Went here for brunch with friends and family (total of 6 ppl). Of course, we had to order one mac daddy pancake (banana, walnut, and chocolate chunk). It definitely fed all 6 of us, and then some!! I would think one manhole size pancake could feed at most 8 people! But, on top of the size, the pancake was absolutely delicious! I could taste the banana flavor throughout! They did provide us with 3 different syrup flavors (maple, guava, and coconut), but we didn't even need it! Will definitely come back! =]

    We went here because our boys saw this place on the Man Vs Food show. Most upset that we went through such effort to find the place after a long and fun day touring the Pearl Harbor memorials. For Appetizer we had the Rock Shrimp and Calamari. It was a fair sized portion, and overall, not too bad - the Calamari was tasty, but the dish itself not too flavorful in terms of accoutrement. For entree I went with the seared Ahi - and I have to say, it was not great. The kimchi-fried rice had a very familiar, standard, seasoning taste to it (something like Tony Chachere's) that bothered me a bit in that I can do that myself at home. The Ahi, nothing to write home about. My wife ordered a salad and crab cakes - neither of which wowed her. The presentation of the crab cakes was nice, but again, one of the "sauces" decorating the plate nicely, was too sweet and seemed like colored, sweetened Miracle Whip. The kids chicken strips and fries were fine. The kids spagehetti, my daughter reported, was a tad on the spicy side. I tasted and agreed, for a kids plate, nice to not be overtly bland, but close to the edge. My 10-year old ordered the Elvis Pancakes. Wow. This is not the exact Man vs. Food dish challenge, but it is still something like 4 pounds worth of food on one plate! The presentation is a novelty, so there is some fun in that. These had peanut butter sauce drizzle, bananas and bacon. The bacon is crumbled on top and cooked into the pancakes. The bananas are sliced and on top. There are three, thick, 14-inch pancakes on this plate! Between the 5 of us, we ate about half, though we each did have our own other meals. The service was horrible. Our waiter was unassertive, uninformative and generally passive. He had a hard time answering our questions and making recommendations so we could make good selections. He forgot not one, but two ordered items, at separate times (and never recollected them, we didn't bring it back up...). Finally, I'd add that this restaurant is in a Hilton - a Hilton! I thought these were nice, expensive hotels and so while we didn't have a good vibe going into the place - my thought was, it couldn't survive in a Hilton if it were crappy. Wrong! I hope Paris visits soon and eats here so this place gets a kick in the ass. Overall, for us, definitely not worth the prices on service, ambiance, taste, etc... the novelty of the pancakes was fun, but even that, at $15 or $17 bucks, is a high price for the rest of the experience.

    Mac 24/7 needs another star (its at 3 right now). I've been there 4 times now and have never been disappointed with the quality of the food.. The country-fried steak, chicken and waffles (and gravy mmm), and eggs benedict are all muy delicioso. Yeah sometimes the service comes a little slowly and with attitude but for the amount of freaks and spoiled adult children (that's an adult who thinks they're still a child) that come in and out of that place every day I would be a bit skeptical as a server after a while too. Well, there's not much I can talk about that hasn't been covered in 114 reviews already, but yeah, the behemoth, cake-like pancakes really are worth beholding first-hand - especially if you like pancakes. You've never seen such a formidable mound of food put in front of one person. Plus I like the decor and booths which are stylish and comfortable, and for the short attention-spanned they've got a few TVs behind the bar, usually playing sports.. Prices are a bit high, but not bad for a nice establishment in a nice hotel. Mac 24/7 gets 2 thumbs up.

    Where else can you get a FILLING breakfast in Waikiki for under $5 a person?!?!? I first hit up MAC 24/7 when I saw it featured on Travel Channel's "Man Vs. Food." They've got a killer pancake challenge: Eat five pounds of pancakes and toppings in under two hours and get your name and picture on the wall of fame! Adam Richman failed sadly, but several others have emerged victorious as a result of the exposure from the show. I'm afraid to say I was not among the winners. But this is no reason not to like the place. The inside is very clean, with a modernized look that still hearkened back to the diners of yore. You've got counter seating or traditional dining room seating. I've been here four times and my servers have always been adequate and sufficiently attentive. It's open 24 hours a day, but I've only been here in the mornings for breakfast. Usually have their pancakes. Not only are they huge, but they're also actually tasty. And I'm a pancake snob. These pancakes tasted better to me than those from places like the Original Pancake House! So it's not all about quantity trumping taste. Bring a group of 3-5 people and share the big order of pancakes. They even serve it with a cake knife and spatula so you can divvy up the pancakes onto individual plates. There's an assortment of syrups that includes coconut and guava in addition to maple. Try them all. And the pancakes come with an entire host of topping possibilities. My favorite is the cinnamon strudel combination. They've got one called "The Elvis" that features bacon AND peanut butter. (I'm not a major PB fan, but if you are, you'll be in heaven.) The large order is only $15. If you divide that by even three people, you're getting completely stuffed for breakfast IN WAIKIKI for only $5 a person. I'll take that kind of value any day. In fact, I often see complete families in here sharing an order of the humongous pancakes--and they're STILL not able to eat it all. :) --Oooh, a little known secret: It's not printed anywhere on the menu, but MAC 24/7 offers mini versions of their signature enormous pancake/topping combos. It was more than enough for me to eat by myself, and it ran me $8. If you don't have the extra bellies in your group to help you tackle The Beast, simply ask your server for the mini-sized version of the one that's calling your name. And the non-pancake breakfast items I've had have been tasty as well. There really isn't anything I don't like about this place. I usually find parking along the Ala Wai canal, and then I just walk down one of the side streets to get here. Besides, after I tank up on the pancakes I need a brisk walk anyway! I'm a pancake snob, so I care about the quality of my pancakes. For my money, the hotcakes at MAC 24/7 easily beat out those from The Original Pancake House AND the Wailana Coffee House in terms of taste and fluffiness. When I want pancakes I always find myself alternating between Big City Diner and MAC 24/7. Give it a shot and see what you think! :)

    I've been here only twice, once for a dinner and the other for breakfast. Dinner was good, i got the ahi tuna and soba noodles, but 17 bucks later I realized i could've got that at the ABC store across the street. Next time it was breakfast, i got that HUGE pankcake, it really is huge! The service was good, they were nice, the bar guy was the one who was serving me since i didn't get a table or booth.. anyways if you finish it in an hour the pancake is free! (that didn't happen for me..O.o) All in All.. Food: delicious Service: Fast/Nice Price: Expensive to me! I can't remember the pancake price alone, but with a coffee, orange juice, and milk it turned out to be $34! WTF. but the Pancake can feed a family.. even a chubby family.

    I've always had really great memories whenever I come here, whether I'm in a drunken stupor or if I just wanna hang out with good company. The food is great. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the MAC ginger ale (which is minor compared to the overall experience). This place is pretty popular for its pancakes, if you're up for the challenge. One order of those damn pancakes fed three of us haha. The place is really chic and it's never too busy. I give it 4 stars because the last time I came here, service was decent, but the wait for the food was ridiculous.

    Keebong was awesome, literally ran to assist me! The fruit plate was delicious; pineapple, papaya, honeydew, oranges, strawberries and blueberries. Potatoes were cooked perfectly too! To finish my great experience, Keebong sent me on my way with coffee to go

  • Rj S.

    Went here this morning for the pancake breakfast "challenge" and split it with two others. We barely got through half of the banana, walnut, chocolate chip, it was awesome. For $15, this pancake is a steal and will easily feed 6 heavy eaters. The quantity of the pancakes was one thing but they were probably the best tasting pancakes I've ever had. The waiter was very friendly and the decor/lay out was nice.

    If you like bland, big plates of food then this is your place. My wife was craving fried calamari. I busted out the Yelp app and found this place. I've stayed at the Hilton Prince Kuhio in the past but have never eaten here. I've also seen this place on Man vs. Food but also remember that they used h20 to make the pancakes. As for the food it is rather bland and pricey. The fried calamari was like rubber and didn't come with any dipping sauce. Instead it was full of shaved parmesan cheese (i've never seen cheese on fried calamari before). I ordered the chicken and waffles and my wife ordered the meat loaf. The plates came out and they were rather large portions. Good enough for us to share 1 plate. The chicken had no taste which is most likely why they throw a side of country gravy with the chicken. I don't eat Popye's or KFC with anything because by itself they have lots of flavors. The chef really needs to improve the fried chicken recipe. The waffles were nice and fluffy. I'd enjoyed those a lot. The meat loaf my wife had was also bland and lacked taste. The sauce they had for the meat loaf did not go well with it. Overall good place to go too after you hit the Waikiki clubs and you're drunk. There's a lot of better places to go to that don't cost as much if you're sober. :)

    Wanted to check this place out since I had heard lots of ads about this place. First of all I wasn't so thrilled that it was valet parking only. The service was ok, however I think our waiter should have told us how big the pancakes were. It did not specify the size on the menu and when my sister ordered it the waiter did not say anything. When it came we were all in awe! It was HUGE (we actually took a picture) and everyone was excited to taste them. Unfortunately we were all disappointed. Taste was so blah. IHOP's pancakes are way better. Even though the pancakes were junk, my sister wanted to take her left overs (about 3/4 of it) home so her hubby could try it. However the server took the pancakes and smashed them into a smaller take-out container. First of all if you are going to sell these huge pancakes, you should have a take-out container that fits it. If you don't, at least cut the pancakes and place them nicely (& professionally) in the take out container. Our server just smashed it all in there and it looked so unappealing that we ended up just tossing it in the trash can on the way out. I ordered the tomato soup & white cheddar cheese sandwich and that was good. If I am ever with a group of people who want to go there I might try it again, but I won't be the one suggesting Mac 24-7.

    We went here to get some dessert after a nice dinner :) So I just had to get the Devil's Food Peanut Butter cup! I've had it before but that was way too long ago soooo... one more try! It was delicious! The cake was moist and the chocolate not too rich but the peanut butter... mmm... mmm... good! It's like it had extra sugar crystals or something but it was so addicting to eat. And the thing was jumbo size so I shared it with my friends and even had some to take home later. My friend had the Waffle Sundae. Now you'd think it was the hard shell waffle... *buzz*! We were wrong too and it turned out to be a belgian waffle under two scoops of ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) with fudgy goodness and whip cream and a cherry. It was heaven :) The only bad thing about here is the slowness of the service. When we went it wasn't packed at all but somehow it just seems like it took a long time for our waters to come and the waiter to take our order and for him to bring our check. But the place is very chic and sophisticated and there's validated parking (which will cost you $3) which are plusses. I would say this is somewhere to come every once in a while... but not bad :)

  • Hoa T.

    Ok Ok... unlike most reviews, I actually think the food here is pretty dang good. Our group tried: chicken and waffles - almost as good as roscoe's chicken fried steak w/ homestyle gravy - WOW steak and eggs - my steak was cooked perfectly Our service was great, no complaints. Why the 2 stars then you ask? Well, being that I didn't want to be a fat ass and overstuff my face... I actually had some food left. It wasn't a lot, but a good little snack. The busser asked if I was done and I asked for a small box instead and told him I wanted to take my leftovers. He smirked, came back a couple minutes later and took my plate to pack for me. As he walked into the kitchen... I hear him say... "eyyy... I need a to go box for this. And NO I'm not kidding, someone actually wants to take this home!" He laughs and grunts and comes out with my box. EXCuuuuuUSE me but if I'm paying $20 for breakfast and I LIKE my food.. I'm sure as hell going to take every last morsel to go! Why would I waste it??? And even if I didn't want to eat it later.. I could've given it to one of the many bums in waikiki. The busser ruined this place for me. Food is only as good as its staff at a place like this, especially for these prices. I wanted to punch the glass frame outside with Adam Richman's face on it. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have tried this place.

    There are already hundreds of reviews, but I just want to add that the pancakes were really lame, like dangerously lame, when it comes to everything but their size. (Three stars for the fun of the size and the nice waiter.) The blueberry pancakes I ordered were soft on the outside and fairly chewy (I prefer crispy on the outside, soft on the inside), slightly bitter, and overall mediocre pancakes for even some random person to make, much less a restaurant chef. Something occasionally tasted freezerburnt or like it had been cooked with some weird herb. There were about thirty blueberries total, I think, which may sound like a lot, but you have to understand how ten blueberries translates to a 14-inch pancake. Not that well. On top of that (ho ho), they obviously use frozen blueberries. There were three syrups: coconut, maple, and guava. The coconut syrup was amazing: thick, truly coconutty, and not oversweet. I love maple syrup, and theirs sucks. The guava was too sweet: as least as sweet as pure honey. And oh, man, was there a lot of pancake. It was like Thomas Hobbes' famous quote about life, except it went on FOREVER.

    We went here for dinner after seeing it was on Man Vs. Food. It was disappointing. The hostess told us there would be a 20 min wait because they were short staffed. We sat at the counter where the service was okay. The waiter/bartendar didn't have the best personality and didn't know they added some stuff to the menu. I had the Asian Ramen which was on the salty side. My husband had the Parmesan chicken. He said it was bland. The only positive thing was the portions were big. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

    I enjoyed my visit here for breakfast, however a $30 breakfast bill for one made me wish I had gone to a hotel buffet. Besides the price, the experience was pleasant, the service was attentive, and the coconut, pineapple, macadamia nut pancakes were amazing.

  • Scott K.

    WOW did I really not YELP this place yet. Hidden in the back of the lobby of the Prince Hotel...I still remember this place as Trellises. MAC 24 is like the Zippys of Waikiki. Know internationally when the food network came to Hawaii to do the food challenge. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Ive been coming here for a while and I always seem to order the same thing. The Tomato Soup or the Stew. Both are great and filling. If you have the opportunity and the appetite, I would say try and see if you can finish the enormous pancakes. I know its a lot of bisquick and alot of just nothing but its a challenge. I would suggest getting it with some fruit...maybe bananas On my last visit, a friend of mine ordered something that is off the menu. Its a peanut butter chocolate shake with a kick. AKA Bust-a-nutty!! Go there and order it. Im not sure if they know what you will be talking about but I think enough people have recently requested it that it might one day end up on the menu. This is not my first choice in places to eat but it does come to mind when its 3am and you want food....dont want Zippys or fast food.

    We stayed at the Hilton Prince Kuhio when we first moved to Hawaii - and the only restaurant in the hotel is Mac 24/7. We ventured down there for breakfast on our first morning in HI, and I ordered the pancakes, and Tony ordered an Omelet. The fresh squeezed OJ was very good. As you may have read already the pancakes are GIGANTIC - think like Medium Pizza Hut Pizza but a stack of pancakes. They are pretty cool looking, but unfortunately they don't taste near as good as they look. Just not much flavor to them - I only finished about 1/4 of them. We did go back, and we ended up splitting the pancakes, and two of us only finished half. Craziness - I would recommend as a drunken food stop with a FEW friends! Little pricey too. Cool decor though - think diner meets "club"

    I just wanted to say our visit to your restaurant was very pleasant thanks to our server Jose he was very friendly and helpful! He went out of his way to get my husband something that was not on their menu (French vanilla creamer)!Thanks to Jose for your help:) we had the pancake challenge which was made pretty quick! We could not finish it all! We will defiantly recommend this place to friends and we will sure to come back! Food was delish!

    Went here for a late night dinner. It was around the corner in the Hilton Hotel just a short walk from our Marriott hotel. We were seated immediately and decided to share a 4-egg omelet...toast and potatoes on the side. It was an adequate meal, nothing special. The toast was just barely toasted but I was so hungry, I didn't bother to send it back. Yes, I probably would return here just for the convenience of the location and the 24-hour availability.

    I'm basing this review on their pancakes alone so please keep that in mind. They were tasty. Very sweet and very rich, but unique and tasty none the less. My wife actually tried the challenge (and failed :( but I love her anyways :). The atmosphere is nice and the service is great but the parking is ridiculous.

    I was excited to be there for the UH game, being that it wasnt crowded at all, and there were tv's everywhere we turned. Big plus for being kid friendly... BUT, that was it. All looks and no substance. The waitress was non attentive, i walked up to the busing station not once, but TWICE to retrieve our own napkins/plates/utensils after she delivered the wrong order of food to us. Her explanation was she asked her manager to help her and it was his fault. Whatever! There were only 8 tables to begin with, with 2 servers, a busser AND a manager helping. Getting anything out of her took longer than usual, and it was especially frustrating trying to get the check from her, she kept forgetting and at one point I looked around for her and she was just standing around, THEN she remembered. There were only 3 tables left when we wanted to check out. We opted for appetizers, the kalua pig nachos was such a waste with cheese whiz crap all over the nachos, covered with almost burnt and cold kalua pig. We also got a basket of beer battered onion rings and fries, we got a total of 4 onion rings and less fries than a large fries at McDonalds. Whatta ripoff. The kids ate that in 30 seconds flat. We wanted to order more food but looked at the menu with the mindset of what can they NOT screw up? I wouldnt reccommend it. Though i wish i tried the pancakes since i see some good reviews on it. Too bad there wont be a next time.

    i think the food here is ok. they offer a good variety of dishes here and most of them are ok. I'm giving it four stars because of how conveniently located it is if you stay at the same hotel, and the fact that it is open 24 hours a day. the best dish i tried here was the chicken and waffles. if there is only one thing you're going to order here, its the chicken and waffles. The chicken skin was sooo crispy, seasoned to flavor, yet the insides were soo moist. The waffle that comes with it was also crunchy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. They probably use the same batter as the pancakes. It is a little pricey here, everything in hawaii is.

  • Melanie H.

    There are many reasons why I am a fan of this place. Let me count the ways... 1. This place is open 24/7. 2. The pancakes are bigger than some of your tricked out wheels.. Yes, I mean they are probably the size of some 22" rims.. And you get THREE of them! 3. Man vs food wasn't able to complete the challenge of eating all the pancakes.. so try! 4. There's a full bar with gourmet food. There are some downsides: 1. It's kind of expensive for some things. 2. If you are wanting some late night food, that isn't fast food, you will probably head here.. And run into 3/4 of the drunk waikiki crowd. 3. It's small It's one of those things that's an experience and you should def try it at least once..

    Sure, we came here for the pancakes... but really, we had had no idea. In Canada, a GARGANTUAN PANCAKE is approximately the size of your everyday frying pan. You pour in a bunch of your batter to coat the bottom and you go, "wow, look at that - I MUST BE CRAZY!!" In Hawaii, a gargantuan pancake is the size of the world. Let's just say it's a good thing we didn't go for 2 orders of pancakes, like any other normal day in a normal restaurant. For some reason two of us decided to share one order (without knowing what would be placed in front of us). We thought the $15 price was a little steep or an order of pancakes, but what the hey. ZOMG, *head explode* ... it was like the moment happened in slow motion - the waiter rounding the corner with a massive plate topped with three glistening behemoths. Surely that can't be -- yes, yes it is; that plate is coming straight for us. Three 14-inch pancakes, each an inch thick, covered in blueberries and gleaming with glaze. AMERICA! $15 for this family-sized feast? A steal!! In conclusion, two of us barely finished one pancake. Later we saw a plate of the Elvis pancakes pass us by (peanut butter, banana, bacon) and had a coronary.

    Always seeing Mac 24/7 on the TV shows, we had to go. Don't be deceived they only actually have one macaroni plate on the menu, but this place wasn't named because of that. Yeah, we didn't try to eat the three 13-14 inch pancakes either. I had the avocado turkey sandwich with fries, it was good. Not really that you can mess up a sandwich too much. Our friend had the crab cakes appetizer with a spicy ahi sauce and pineapple salsa. That was actually very surprisingly delicious and the presentation was very good also. He also had their Caesar salad. He didn't like that they just gave him the full romaine leaves and let him cut them, but that's the way they serve them. I think it's just a matter of preference on that one. The prices can seem to be a little on the middle to steeper side though. For four of us we averaged about $20 per person (before tip). Service was okay. Anyway, we left full and satisfied. The ambiance is pretty cool. Very orange (yes, orange the color), modern, and clean. The front is more like a sports bar area that you see on the television shows and advertisements. The back rooms are really nice though. It's a windowed area that has a small garden on the outside. Nice and bright also. It's in the hotel, so you're either walking there or parking in the hotel parking lot/valet.

    We came here after seeing it on man VS. food on food network. We actually never heard of it until then. Well we went and my wife ordered the eggs Benedict and I of course had to order the panacakes. After bringing these ginormous things out to you they ask you if you would like to do the challenge, which i believe is eating them in 90 minutes. I being the person that I am of course said heck no, these things are going to get finished. Well after what felt like eating a whole cake I wanted to assess the damages that had bestowed upon these things. Unfortunately I ate maybe an 1/8 of them and was full. So it is definitely an experience here worth while, in a clean environment, with a friendly wait staff. I would also suggest that multiple people attack these things as they are too much for one person. The prices are typical of what you will find in Waikiki, not too bad around $12-16 a person.

    General Idea: diner. They are famous for their really big pancakes. They are about 14-16 inches in diameter, with 3 stacks. Pros: the triple stack is cheap. If you're broke, then beggers can't be choosers. Cons: Mac 24/7 is WACK 24/7. The service here was horrible. It literally took 30 minutes to take our order. There were only two other tables around us. I'm not sure what was going on with the waiter, but he was not good. Secondly, the pancakes were disgusting. They only put the toppings on the top layer, and thus the lower layers of this monstrosity seemed like flavor-less sponge. I honestly think bisquik is better. Tricks of the Trade: Here's the trick for this place, just don't go. The guy from man vs food tried to finish the set of pancakes, but let's be honest he ordered a side of bacon because the flavor of the pancakes got bland. done and done.

    We need one on Maui!! Awesome place to go @ 3am after a night out. The food is acutally really good! HUGE, HUGE, did I say HUGE portions! Dang I saw someone order the pancakes and their eyes popped outta their head! So HUGE! The beer's a bit pricey @ $7 for heinekin light. Service sucked, this guy did not wanna be here, he made that clear. The decor's kinda wierd..modern/70's/disco.. Whatever this is def a place to go when u got da munchies...;)

    You must go here if you like pancakes! The pancakes are the best thing here! There are all sorts of pancakes but the best one is the Elvis Pancake...which is topped with...PEANUT BUTTER & BACON, Elvis' favorite! It sounds funky, but it tasted good! The pancakes are only like $12 for a huge 3 layer pancake! The only thing you shouldn't get here (according to my friends) is the Saimin. It's overpriced and not very good. Whenever we go it's empty, but like everyone says, the service is slow. But it's worth trying the pancakes!

    Eh, this place was okay. Imagine going to a club that plays mostly dub step, and then going to its vaguely modernized Asian diner with Quasi-futuristic decor counterpart. The music is a tad too house-y for the generally subdued crowd I assume this place is targeting. The place does get points for the soft lighting, however. The atmosphere is real laid back (except for the music, meh). The food is actually quite tasty. The pancakes are a must order, simply because the portions are enormous. Needless to say, my friends and I got the pancakes. One order. For 8 people. It was gigantic. I feel as though the term is tossed around casually nowadays; in this case it was definitely deserved though. All in all, this place is excellent for a late night drunchies run. Get a sober driver, scrape together some cash, and come down to let the pancakes absorb whatever alcohol is left in your system. Not that I'd know about that, of course. On a side note, I DID meet Charlie Murphy and saw Aries Spears in here, so that's cool.

    Mmmm mmmm mmmm.. I've had pretty much everything here, but the one I keep going back for is the Salmon Benedict, this'll probably be one of the things I will think about when I'm old and gray. Its just that good. So stop reading this, and go out and try it. On a side note, I have tried to eat all the pancakes with both the blueberry and elvis style, no luck, so they lose a star due to my personal defeat. Lol, not really.............................. its the price. Blah.

    The food here is delicious! we had breakfast here and we were very pleased. The chicken and waffles was really good here. Also try the omelet here. The prices are a little expensive but you get your money's worth. Definitely should try this place.

    This place is HIGHLY overrated. All of our friends said "you gotta try this place.. it's soooo good" but after eating there i concluded they must've been drunk when they ate there and not known what they were eating. I was disappointed in everything we ordered. The pancakes were ok but I started thinking... this sure does taste like IHOP pancakes. hmmm... not surprised there. We also tried their steak and macaroni and cheese and after I ate a few bites all I could think was.. gosh this is pretty awful. The steak was hard (We said medium, we got well-done with an extra side order of burnt) and the macaroni and cheese was just... weird. I'm definitely not saying Kraft macaroni cheese is better but lets just say they're in the same league. Very disappointing. I couldn't bare to stick around for dessert so we dug out and headed to the closest Coldstone we could find. Definitely over rated. Go here if you are really drunk and don't care what you eat. If you're sober and it's still 7p, don't go here. The restaurant is dead and good luck trying to get the wait staff to come back within the next 15 mins to even take your order...

    business lunch that was more than filling...Until we saw HUGE pancake that came out. I dont really know what the fuss is about but if you love pancakes then you'll get your money worth here. The salads are good but i only eat here when i have to. Otherwise, i like going to the ma & pa restaurants that have breakfast. it's my way of suporting the community.

  • Neil A.

    Decided to try this place out after seeing it on Man v. Food. Of course we got the huge Mac Daddy Pancakes seen in Man v. Food. Among 4 adults we couldn't finish it. We also got eggs benedict and the loco-moco. Nothing really special about those 2 items. But the main focus was the Mac stack. Other than the size, nothing else was special about it. I'd rather have Boots and Kimos ( yelp.com/biz/boots-and-k… )

  • Josh B.

    Just stayed at this hotel for 10 days and needless to say we ended up eating here a good bit. My wife and I didn't care for their breakfast, potatoes were always dry, coffee was just ok, and the prices were high ($18 for an omelette, $15 for eggs benedict). They do offer their enormous Mac Daddy pancake challenge for $15, which will feed the whole family, so that was a plus. We did love the lunch and dinner menu though. Pricing was still a little high for what we got, but the taste was definitely there. Burgers, steaks, fries, soup, etc were excellent. I definitely recommend the potato soup. The best I've ever had. The service, for the most part, was also fantastic. The staff was always extremely friendly and attentive. Would recommend trying this place if you are staying here and don't feel like leaving the hotel.

  • Paul C.

    Tried the pancake challenge as seen on m v/s f. 90 minutes to finish 3, 14 inch pancakes with your choice of toppings. I chose th fresh local blueberries with vanilla glaze. I'm a good sized guy, but 25 minutes into them I couldn't force my mouth to open for another bite. I finished a little over a third of them. They were delicious but massive! Many have tried, only 8 have finished them.

  • Daniel N.

    Tried the pancake challenge and the pancakes were over-cooked and very dry. They look better than they taste. The entrees are pretty good though. I tried the smaller order of pancakes and those were pretty good. So I would suggest getting the small order instead of the challenge.

  • Ben M.

    Breakfast was solidly below average. I ordered the eggs benedict. There was a watery fluid around the eggs and the small amount of hollandaise was flavorless. Normally I don't expect much out of eggs benedict from a 24 hour diner, even one as fancy as Mac 24-7, but at a whopping $15 I was highly disappointed. And when the waiter asked how it was I actually, for the first time, said it wasn't very good. The manager came over and said he was sorry I didn't like it, and gave me a discount on the bill. I think half off the dish. While I appreciate the gesture, it's sadly too late for Mac 24-7. When a place charges $15 for eggs benedict you expect a certain level of quality, and when something that mediocre is served the bad taste is everlasting. Save your money and go to Wailana Coffee House if you're in Waikiki and have a craving for eggs benedict. PS: my wife had the Jumbo Cinnamon Roll. She said it was very good: flakey and perfectly sweet. But it wasn't exactly "jumbo," and not worth $6.

  • Dustin N.

    First thing I have to mention is the hubcap-sized pancakes are ridiculous! No one should ever attempt to consume it all in one sitting, however it should be able to feed a dorm room ;P Nice place, has this cool retro slash modern theme going, good wait staff and coming from good ol' Cali-For-Ni-A! I miss me some "Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles" and their take on this classic somewhat suffices that craving! Overall I was pleased and look to trying to consume their pancakes.....with 8 other people ;P

  • T W.

    My hopes for a great breakfast were as large as their pancakes... but alas I was sadly disappointed. Their pancakes with blueberries were pretty close to the worst ones I have ever had.... anywhere. Yeah, they are big but you got to have more than that. The pancakes were tough and rubbery and the top and bottom sides of the pancake merely separated from each other when you tried to cut them. Add the fact that a coffee and an iced tea are both $4!!!! I suggest you look for your pancake fix somewhere else.

    I've only eaten here twice and both times the food hasn't really wowed me to ever want to come back (in fact, only went here the 2nd time because my friend has never tried it). The decor is very nice resembling a high class sports bar (they even have a tv in a couple of the booths) when you first walk in. As you go to the left where the rest of the restaurant is it looks out into a beautiful garden. The first time I went I had the grilled white cheddar cheese sandwich and tomato soup combo. The soup was ok, but I didn't really like the grilled cheese. Maybe it's the use of the white cheddar because it had a little more bite to it than I would like. The second time we went I had the smoked salmon benedict, and my friends had the fried chicken and waffles and a create your own omelet. Like I said, the food is ok, but I'm never really wowed by it. One thing that I'll give them, though, is their portion sizes are huge. For my friends chicken and waffles it was one big waffle and three huge pieces of chicken. He was a hungry man and couldn't finish it all. They even have a sumo saimin (that I'm sure could easily feed 4 people. If you order it you'll find out why when they bring the huge bowl of noodles out) and mac daddy pancakes which are 3 pancakes that are 14 inches in diameter. If you get plates like that and share between a couple people then I could definitely see coming back here, until then... I'll only come back if I'm in the area and can't think of anywhere else to eat.

    friend wanted his birthday dinner here last night...at 10 pm. he wanted it to be at 11 pm but i begged on my hands and knees to go back an hour since i know how painfully slow mac's service is. we got the room in the back, we're the only table and there weren't many other tables out front to begin with. it took us 15 minutes for a waiter to come, almost another 10 minutes before our waters came. lucky for us, the food didn't take as long as the other times i've eaten here. they gave us free bread, that was a first so brownie points for that. the food was okay. i got the meatloaf and i expected a lot more since they're known for their super sized portions. i'll be back again when friends wanna come. ps, free valet after 11pm. i missed out by coming at 10:30. so lame...

    I have written a review before about this resteraunt but it was deleted so am hoping this one sticks. I have ate at this resteraunt several times during an extended stay at the hotel so I have given them multiple opportunities to get it right. There were 3 to 4 times they did not get my order right and the other times where my food tasted bad as if there was something wrong with it. I tried to get the inspection records because I am confindent that kitchen is not handling things right but they want you to pay for the records so I didnt take it any further. I have no doubt they have the potential of being a great resteraunt but something needs to change and I feel reviews are the best way for us consumers to make that happen. I am planning another visit to Honolulu and will be staying at their wonderful hotel but will not be eating at their resteraunt unless I see that there have been some major changes.

    My family and I came here for lunch on Easter. Parking is only valet, unless you park at another hotel and walk. The $3 parking is included in your check, but of course you have to tip them. We made reservations for 13, but only 10 of us showed up. The staff was nice enough to give us a private room. The service was good, the drinks were strong, the food was great, but I had some yucky stuff on my spoon. Our server was very apologetic and replaced my spoon. My two girls wanted to do the challenge, but was told that they had to do it separately so they ordered something else. The restaurant doesn't have their own public restroom...you would have to walk out of the restaurant and use the hotel's restroom in the hallway. We would come back again, but try something else because we had the Easter special. It was $39 and included an appetizer - ahi hamachi tower (too little portion), entree - steak and prawns (very delicious), and dessert - some kind of flourless cake (would've been good if we ate it there instead of taking it home). Overall, the experience and food was awesome, but I just didn't like the fact that the parking was included in our bill because we paid more for tax.

    There's room to improve here. The prices are too high for what is essentially well-presented comfort food, and, in my two visits over the last year, service was lackluster. It makes sense to intentionally reduce staff after dinnertime, I suppose, but our visit around midnight was poorly serviced by what appeared to be only two employees. Our waiter didn't take our order for what seemed like an eternity, the food took even longer, and paying the check was much more difficult than it should have been. While we were waiting for our check a group of six Japanese tourists was waiting to be seated for almost twenty minutes. When they were finally noticed, one of them asked, "Are you busy or are you lazy?" Funny Engrish, but also a legitimate question. Some price adjustments and adaptive staffing choices could probably fix this stuff, as the food is mostly quite good and the 24/7 aspect is appealing.

  • Zoe M.

    Ack. 2nd review, have to recant the 1st one! Service was really bad, beginning with the server asking how we were doing, us asking her, and her saying "Good, well actually bad, just not a good day, I'm tired, and were busy" Sorry, but being in the service industry ourselves, we get it, but totally unprofessional and one of my pet peeves... Then she never came back to the table basically had to beg her for the check, twice, and the food was cold and nothing like the previous time :(. Bummer! Also she rang some of our food up for more than the menu said, but by that time we didn't even want to know how long that'd take to fix! Moving on for the brunch hunt!

    i always end up at mac 24-7 really late at night for some reason :/ i think i've gone there a total of eleven times. all of those times after 11pm. the first time i went there was because i heard about their huge/awesome pancakes. they're like two times the size of my face! don't get me wrong, the taste was there and all but they are RIDICULOUSLY huge and stacked. the next time i went there i had their meatloaf and from then on, that was my regular dish. it comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus...so simple yet so delicious. i went there about a week ago and wanted to try something new so i ordered a bacon and spinach omelet with toast (also came with potatoes tossed with onions..super ono). the omelet was HUGE as was the tomato soup with grilled cheese that my friend ordered. this place is like the texas of waikiki..everything IS bigger. i'll probably continue to come here when i want something different late at night instead of the same old zippy's, milions, or sorabol.

    Manhole sized pancakes! Yeah, it's all true. Destination stop. Mac 24/7. One week in Hawaii, and this was on the list for our last meal. First thing, if you're driving, it's valet parking only. So expect to tip when you leave. There's a validation, but that obviously never covers tip. So, including your meal tip, it's gonna end up being a double tip stop. Lobby to the hotel is expansive and welcoming. Find your way over to the entrance to Mac 24/7 towards the right, and find an ultra cool shagalicious mod lean and clean walkway that runs between the counter seats to your left and booths to your right. Greeter and server were extremely friendly and helpful. Seated at the booths and notice that each booth has it's own flat screen, ours with the football game on. Bonus, score. Coffees. Starbucks. It's all good. One order of the special, Paradise Waffles. One order of the 4-egg omelette. One order of the "Freestyle Island Eggs": bacon and eggs breakfast with potatoes, and of course, one order of the Mac Daddy pancakes, which we were warned about 3 times by the server that they were "really big". Mac Daddy with pineapple, coconut and macs please. Food was delicious and filling, for rather a decent price, a little on the high end, but this isn't Denny's. Worth it. Service was brilliant, and atmosphere was pretty hip and casual. After all other meals were done our party of four all took a stab at finishing the Mac Daddy pancakes and could only get about 1/4 of it down. The rest of it actually made it onto our plane back to Cali and was finally consumed after three days of chipping away. Definitely would come back to try something else.

    OK, I'll admit I wanted to go here only because it was on Man vs. Food... Food was OK, but a bit pricey for what it is. Service was spotty. What's so hard about keeping coffee cups full? We were there for a late lunch, and the place was dead. We had the room to ourselves for most of the time. So we settled in for a lesuirely meal and visit. The wait staff seemed to get tired of us hanging around. What? It's not like there were people waiting for a table... I had the deconstructed chicken pot pie. It could have used some seasoning. The puffy crust on the top tasted like it came out of the freezer. My dining companions had the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, and a burger. They said they were yummy, especially the soup. About the coffee. The waiter offered more coffee, then disappeared. Came back with not enough for the whole table. Huh? I'd say go here if it's after hours and nothing else is open. As another reviewer said, there's always Zippy's.

    My husband and I were with a big army group staying at the Prince Kuhio for a retreat of sorts last year. It was actually at the same time that the Man vs. Food episode was filmed (though we didn't know that, yet. I'd seen their huge stack of pancakes and remarked "hey, Man v Food should come here!" little did I know he filmed that very same day hahaha). Before checking out, we HAD to eat at Mac 24-7 because dude, come on, it looks super yummy. I wasn't feeling all that hungry or adventurous in the eaties department..but sat down at a table anyway. I ordered the 1/2 lb angus burger ($15) with bacon, avocado, and grilled pineapple..it was fairly tasty. My husband ordered the beef stew in a sour dough bowl (also $15)..and after tasting his? I wanted it. YUM! I think I may have even been the one to finish it off after we came home that day and he finished my burger. Share and share alike. I wish I'd been more open to the options here that day..but my pregnant belly is totally willing to go back and try the other items on the menu ;) It was pretty delicious overall..and the staff there was pretty awesome.

    I had to find a place to take my cousin from Japan and his two coworkers. They had eaten a badly tasting loco moco somewhere in the Aloha Tower yesterday and wanted a better one. They were also starving and hadn't eaten anything since we stopped at Macky's shrimp truck in Haleiwa. We missed the Pineapple Room by ten minutes and the line outside of the Cheesecake Factory was too long. I drove past the Hyatt Regency, where they were all staying at, came around on Kuhio, and remembered Mac 24-7. My cousin noticed that we were eating at a Hilton and asked if this was the same place that was related to Paris Hilton? The girl that made the comment about Wal-mart selling walls? He and his coworker both ordered the loco moco. I suggested to his other coworker the chicken with waffles or the adobo. I had to explain to him what adobo was. He ended up ordering it. I got the mac n cheese with peas. It was okay. I brought home the leftovers in a box.

    Five employees, no customers, me wanting a latte to go, hearing the employees complain about one another, 10 minutes I'll never get back. Thanks!

  • Stevie K.

    Sigh, I wish I could give this place a better rating. The concept is good: fancy American food, 24 hours a day, chic-ly decorated, validated valet parking. But the food itself is *smeh* relative to the prices. I think the breakfast foods are better than the lunch/dinner entrees. I recommend the waffles with whip cream and strawberries. I don't recommend the steak (too salty) or the mahimahi (smeh flavoring). It was, however, a nice place for a bunch of friends and I to have drinks. It's a nice place to sit, while not being so loud that you can't hear each other talk.

    I came here frequently to come down and grab a drink when I was at our hotel. There was just one bartender so service can be a little slow, but he was friendly so I can't complain. They have a yelp special for 50% off the Mac -Cano Eruption Cocktail. That thing is huge and pretty strong. I must've drank less 1/4 of it and I was buzzed... :)

  • Irene C.

    This is one of those places that used to be awesome before tourists got to it. Their pancakes alone were worth it to just order and stare at. Initially, they were only $8-9 for three inch-wide pancakes 16'' in diameter -- we always ordered the chocolate chips and banana. It was wonderful being able to sit in a retro diner without the help of the deLorean with eight people splitting a $10 bill at 3am. Unfortunately, the pancakes have lost their quality, are now $20, and the joint has lost its charm. . . and valet is no longer free. Still yet, their cupcakes are pretty good. Chinese chicken salad is one of the best I've ever had -- strangely enough. And the place is kind of a pain in the ass to get to.

    (2)

  • Mark S.

    It's obvious that the clientele they are trying to cater to is the hotel dwellers, not the locals. The locals know where to get a good meal for the money. $20 for a loco moco?! $20 can get you 3 or 4 of the same somewhere else (LikeLike, Hungry Lion, Zippy's) and it would taste better! If I go to Waikiki for clubbing and I if I get hungry late at night or if I'm too lazy or too smashed to drive, I might go to Mac's to grind. But then....nah I'll walk to Zippy's instead.

  • Christa W.

    Can't beat the hours. Or the menu. It's nice to go somewhere and order macaroni and cheese... and real milkshakes..... and chicken and waffles! by the way....if you're wondering why you are paying $11 for a bowl of saimin, it's because the bowl is the size of your bathroom sink. Missing stars because NONE of their staff wants to be there. and it shows. after eating here more than 10x with not one wait person that gave us a water or coffee refill without us having to hunt them down.

  • Sonya L.

    This isn't my favorite place in Waikiki, but its open 24/7. I've tried it once only because its in the lobby of the Hilton Prince Kuhio. The portions are big, the food isn't all that great. We've ordered their huge pancakes having seen someone else order them. They look great, but are dry and not fluffy - you might as well drown it in syrup. The food is also overpriced. Try Zippy's if you're looking for some late night dining instead.

  • Lisa S.

    I really enjoyed the experience, the service was good besides the mix up with our group. We went purposely for the well known Mac daddy pancakes, a 4lb. stack of pancakes and at a fairly reasonable price ($15)- about as much as a plate at IHOP- My husband and I shared the mac daddy and barely ate more than half. We chose macademia nuts, coconut, and pineapple for our toppings and loved it!!! Our friends got the Elvis (banana, peanut butter carmel sauce and bacon) but I didn't like the combination; the peanut butter sauce was really good though!! There was no wait and everything else met expectations. It's a good experience and the staff was in high spirits!

    BREAKFAST REVIEW....yes we are fans of this place.. go with 4 people and you guys can split one item.. GENIOUS and its cheap... so if you do that get the pancakes of your choice. we believe this place has the best eggs benedict on the ISLE.. you have to get the salmon one.. trust us we are connasouirs of benedicts and this is the best. there chicken and waffles are very tasty to... :)

  • Ruby W.

    Food is awesome. Service needs improvement. Service is not all the time great especially when we had a big group come in to eat after a race. One of the server actually talked "smack" about our group because what we ordered which was food off the menu! She didn't realize who was around her and it was one of our runners who was trying to pay for her meal. If a server have issues with customers they are in the wrong field.

    We went with a 8-person party on a Saturday. Our service was slow, like a snail's pace slow. Burger was almost raw in the loco moco. The pancakes were gooey. My eggs benedict was sub par. The egg was hard, not properly poached and the hollandaise tasted like it was from a packet.

  • Ashli B.

    Went out to dinner early (5:30) to this restaurant and took the kiddos. Valet parking was $3 for 3 hours. Definitely a great deal if you want to walk around Waikiki before or after dinner. We walked right in, no wait. Service was fairly inattentive and definitely not friendly. Not that I need the wait staff fawning over my children, but at least acknowledgement that they exist would be nice. The food definitely earned the three stars for the restaurant. The kids' mac and cheese was beyond yummy, the hubby's chicken fried steak, while not exactly how grandma used to do it, was a delicious twist on an old artery clogging favorite, and my meatloaf was pretty good too. Everything came out quickly and was hot. No complaints about the food at all! I would go back, but definitely early, as we have eaten there later at night before and had to wait an hour for a table.

  • Kathy R.

    Imagine Denny's and a swanky waikiki bar combined in one- you've got Mac 24/7. Seriously. You could order their monstrous (and delicious) pancakes, eggs benedict, and a glass of your fav martini. The décor itself shows it's split personality. The moment you walk in you see the full bar and it's introduction of the restaurant diner menu. Strange, I know. But it's a damn good idea! I too am surprised why this place is only rated 3 stars. I ate here probably 3 times already, all at different times of the day- breakfast, lunch, and super late night (or early morning per se), with each time having stellar service with the waiters being super attentive. Just for the record, my cup of coffee was always filled to the rim. They could add a little more options on their menu, however. So minus one star for that. Over all, I think this restaurant is great. I'd definitely come here again.

    Went here mainly to grab a drink with my my very significant other around 3pm or so. Although the place was almost dead empty the waitress told us to hold on while she locates us a table. She walked all the way to the back then comes back and says she could only give us a booth. I was laughing as it didn't matter especially since there was no one there. We sat and waited for 15 minutes while the workers were talking about work politics. I got up to ask for water and some cocktails. Seems they were upset that we interrupted their conversation! We waited another 15 minutes, and still no drinks. I told my other half "were out of here". We left and saw that our drinks were waiting there by the bartender who had his back towards us playing games on his i-phone. No one noticed us leaving or even cared. It was sad because the menu looked decent. It all starts with service, and ends there. Worst dining experience thus far.

    The food is on the lower end of ok! The service is even worse. This is the second time I've eaten here with high expectations, and left with disappointment.

    Service was horrible here. not to mention they got our order wrong and we had to track our server down to get our check. Prices were high and although the food was tasty it wasn't worth going back to.

    Thank GOD our server at RumFire told us about this late-night spot! Every place with a kitchen in Waikiki shuts down by midnight or earlier, so we had to eat at Denny's or buy munchies at one of the gazillion ABCs before stumbling back to our hotel. This spot reminded me a lot of the restaurant/diner adjacent to the lobby of the Standard hotel on Sunset in W. Hollywood. Very minimalist. For a 24-hour operation, the food was better than I could hope for! And for a fairly narrow space, their booths were spacious and comfy with a good view of their many flat-screen TVs. Great sized portions for a decent price. The downside is that it is off of a pretty ghetto-ey, shady, prostitute-infested Kuhio Avenue and it's hidden away in the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel past the not-so-modern lobby.

    HipHipHooray, Mac 24-7 bragging rights, we serve lots of flour and water. I mean, c'mon, show me the Biggest Fattest Lobster Tail, that'll get me going. The biggest fattest pancake, I don't think so!

    Tried this place a couple times. First experience was for lunch... Food was okay, had the chicken and waffles....decent but I've had better. Second experience was for very late dinner. When we got there, we were told it was at least a 30 minute wait. Hostess had the personality of a mop... no smile or warm greeting. It seemed as though she did not want to be there.... We decided to wait and stood near the entrance so could see guest coming and going. Not much activity so was surprised that we had to wait so long. After about 40 minutes we were called and seated. When we walked into the restaurant, it was only about half full, so were a little irritated on the wait. Waiter took forever to take stop by to get our drink order (coffee and water)...took forever to bring it and then another forever to deliver the food....We ordered some breakfast items and other entrees along with the pancakes. The food took over 30 minutes and the pancakes took even longer...it came out after we finished our entrees. Waiter was nowhere to be seen, well we did see him chatting with the other wait staff, ignoring the tables..He never refilled our water or coffees. There was a Manager on duty, resetting tables, but he did not pay any attention to the diners as we couldn't get his attention to refill our drinks either. The food was nothing to write home about and the pancakes, which are huge, were just ok...seemed like typical pancake mix.. not from scratch.... I can make better. You get the wow factor cuz of it's size but that's about all it did for me and my guests. I really wanted to give this restaurant a good review as I have many clients that visit Hawaii and stay in Waikiki. They always ask for dining recommendations. Being that this is a 24 hour restaurant, it would have been perfect. However with just so so food and horrible service, for locals, I would hate to see how they treat visitors, so it's definitely off my recommend list for now.

    One of my favorite shows to watch is Man V Food, so I knew I had to check this place out! It is a few blocks away from the Waikiki Beach in the Prince Kuhio Hotel. You have to come here with a big group to try the Mac Daddy Pancakes because it is enough to feed an army. They come in different flavors. They also have a really good chicken and waffles. We were seated right away but the service was just okay.

  • Tracie F.

    This was a mediocre dining experience with decent service. The atmosphere is nice but seriously that is the best part of the experience. The food was bland and overpriced. The fried chicken was overcooked and the macaroni was just so-so. The real reason we went here was for the cupcakes and boy were they disappointing. The portion is huge but the taste is sorely lacking. We got the peanut butter and chocolate one. The cake tasted like the chocolate muffin from costco and the peanut butter filling tasted like a cold scoop of skippy. Not worth the calories at all. I would not go back. I have no clue why the food network wasted their time with this restaurant. I would not waste my time again!

    This is a new restaurant in Hilton Prince Kuhio Waikiki hotel and I think they have an interesting concept. "MAC" stands for "Modern American Cooking". As the name goes, they are open 24 hours daily. Nice and modern ambiance attracts pretty much all generations. Food-wise, it depends on what you order. I had Saimin and the noodle was really chewy, kinda like rubber. Other than that, burgers/sandwiches, loco moco, soups are what I can recommend. Try one of their signature pancakes. They are huge and enough to feed 3-4 ppl. They come with 3 different syrups of guava, honey and haupia.

    Me and the lady stayed at Prince Kuhio Hilton. Mac 24/7 happened to be downstairs next to the lobby. We ended up eating here for breakfast the first morning we arrived. When we got seated, it took almost 10 minutes before a waiter finally came over to take our order...not a good impression. I ordered the Mac Attack which was pancakes/french toast, eggs, and sausage. I opted to upgrade my pancakes to "the Elvis" which was crumbled bacon pieces and slices of banana with a peanut butter drizzle. Surprisingly, the flavors of bacon, banana, and peanut butter came together nicely. The eggs, home fries, and link sausage were good as well. i don't think $16 was reasonable for this breakfast though. Maybe $10. I think part of the reason behind the high prices is because supposedly Man vs Food had an episode here. In the end, i felt more like Mac Attacked my wallet.

    Late night greatness. Been here twice so far have a feeling I'll be back again.

    Excellent food. Big proportions and great service. Ordered 1/2 lb Burger. Cost about $15. Well worth the cost. Gave 4 stars because restaurant reminds me of a Denny 's. Smelled a little stale and not a lot of seating. Would still go back again

  • Nicole S.

    Service was good, atmosphere was nice but the food was not that good. I got fried chicken & waffles for dinner. YUM on the waffles but I mean, it's waffles, not that difficult. The chicken though was sick: dry, gross and hard. It's like it had been sitting under heat lamps all day and I got the last pieces left. Disappointing.

    Bit of a movie set. Had a locomoco and Chinese chicken salad. Trying to be fancy and it didn't work but if you are super hungry you can go here. I wouldn't say though that the prices are that great. a bit expensive but the salads are rather large. I wish their gravy on the locomoco was different...

  • Rebekah S.

    Finally, after many weeks of pleading from my husband (who happened to see the Hawaii episode of Man vs. Food), we stopped into Mac 24-7 with some friends. I have to admit, the atmosphere is fun and the food is good. The hubby had the pancakes (but didn't get more than 35% finished before complaining of a stomach ache... Adam Richman he is not!) and they just might be the best pancakes I've tasted on the island. They are so sweet you hardly need syrup. I had the chicken fried steak... yum, yum, yum. Flavorful, gigantic, and the mac and cheese it comes with is a tasty treat itself! Next time, chicken and waffles! Can't wait!

    We came here for breakfast 3 mornings as breakfast was included with our hotel room. The hotel gives vouchers for the breakfast and the restaurant has a special menu of about 12 items to choose from. I had the eggs benedict, the eggs toast and bacon and the humongous pancakes during my stay. I also had pineapple juice included with breakfast. The juice was fantastic, better than anything you can find on the mainland (but I'm guessing average in Hawaii). The food was good and we enjoyed all our meals but none of them stood out in taste (the pancakes stood out because they were 4 stacks about 1 foot wide). The service was very good. We got our breakfast around 7:30 am but I noticed that by 9:00 am the place gets crowded.

  • Jeff S.

    Went there to try their phenomenal pancakes. They are freaking ginormous!!!!! My wife and I split them and we still couldn't finish. Simply amazing to see such a huge pancake that was very well cooked. Not heavy or dry. Don't think I could have made the challenge where you eat them all by yourself. That's 4 pounds of pancake. I think I would have to pass on that one. Overall MMM MMM GOOD!!!!!!!

    Walked-in. Lots of seating. No wait. Half the restaurant is cafe style, with both seating at the bar and at booths. There is also a private area for private parties. I sat in a booth. I had the crab cake appetizer and the spicy ahi sandwich. The cakes were ridiculusley good. So good I have trouble spelling it right. Crab seeps out of every corner, inside and out, and the sweet sauce they give you to dip it in only makes you wonder how life was remotely enjoyable pre-cake. I was a little disappointed with the spicy ahi sandwich. It's pretty much a pita bread with ahi stuffed inside. The entree comes with around 6-8 large fried onion rings, and a small serving of salad. The ahi wasn't spicy at all, but was creamy enough to hold together after every subsequent bite. It was tasty, but not spicy. Not like Foodland spicy ahi. That's GERD in one sitting, baby. The onion rings were ironically the highlight. The only thumbs down is parking. Because it is inside a hotel, if you don't want to walk a few blocks from the zoo, you have to pay $3 for valet, not including any tips you may want to cough up. It is usually quick, but if you go on a weekend expect to wait a while for your own car.

    We got into town very late and had a hard time finding an open restaurant that wasn't Denny's. We found a review of Mac 24-7 online (inside of a Hilton hotel) and headed over to find a pleasant little diner with TVs in the booths. It was about 1 AM and we were exhausted and starving. I was in the mood for pasta and was surprised that the spaghetti with meat sauce was delicious! I had the guava lemonade, too. It didn't taste too much like guava, but it was a pretty color. :) I would say this place was pricier than I expected... it cost about $60 for 3 people w/ non-alcoholic drinks. We eat had our own orders (my friend really enjoyed their kalua pulled pork sandwich) and lemonades. I'd attribute the prices to portion size and location (inside a hotel). Definitely better than Denny's...

    The best place for late night/early morning cuisine. The food is great the drinks are even batter and the atmosphere is so cool that I have no problem rolling in in my super friends PJs. The food is on the upper side of the dinner type spectrum, but the portion size compensates. My fav round the corner eating spot.

    So I went here again last week, just to see if things have changed... and because I'd never been there before 11pm, I didn't know they actually had a different *dinner* menu that changes at 10pm! Hee! That being said, the mac and cheese is still great! My friends ordered the pot pie (which he said was "meh, okay") and loco moco (which was "salty, but good!" she said) and all portions are gargantuan!!! I saw that they slimmed down their selection of pancakes (still about $20-$22 tho) and that they've also beefed up the desserts besides cupcakes. Service there was very friendly from this one guy, but then this other Japanese lady kept bringing us our bill when we weren't even finished yet. It was like she was trying to rush us out, except, hello, they never close. 24-7. So I dunno what that was all about. We asked our (friendly) server what the "MAC" was all about - was that the owner's name or something? And he said MAC stands for... Modern American Cuisine. Aha!

    It was okay. Maybe my expectations were higher because it is, "MAC 24-7" but it really was not anything out there. Came here for my baby sister's birthday. In our party we ordered Chicken & Waffles, Caesar Salad with Chicken, Pancakes- what was it called? Maybe Elvis? haha, idk with chocolate chips, bacon, etc... and some basic meat and eggs plate. Caesar salad was okay, but I guess in trying to seem LARGE they just took romaine lettuce leaves without even cutting them and put them on a plate with some chicken and huge cubes of croutons. Hmm.. maybe like 5 baby romaine leaves? Because we came with 6 people and I remember not all of us could have a leaf, haha. Chicken and waffles, were okay, chicken was dry though. Meat and eggs? Can't really complain, potatoes that came with them were pretty yum. And then the pancakes.. good, but not GREAT. I mean anything with chocolate and bacon who could go wrong!? But, something was just TOO MUCH about them.. Haha, who am I kidding though they are LARGER THAN LIFE. Hmm, I have very mixed feelings.. but maybe since this was my one and only time going here I just ordered the wrong things.. I'll try again! I heard the club sandwich is good. I'll re-review in the future.

    I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that I somehow ended up here for yes, THIRD DINNER late last night. Tomato bisque with grilled cheese sammies FTW! I've had a few of the other dishes (good stuff for the most part), but I always go back to my favorite. I also like their cute private room for small parties.

    Your meal is not going to be cheap. $20 for a local moco (not very good....more later), wife got waffles and fried chicken for $18 (again not good). I wouldn't care about the price if the food was worth it, but Mac 24/7 isn't worth it. Loco moco ($20). Hamburger was good, good grilled flavor and texture, rich was, well rice, hard to screw up. Eggs were cooked perfect...but all of this was smothered in a brown-isn gravy that tasted tomato based...yuck!! Seriously, a tomato based loco moco gravy!!?? Talk about ruining a great base for the loco moco, everything was set up to win, but in the end: FAIL! Waffles and fried chicken (with country gravy). This one looked good (hal a fried chicken on Mac 24/7's huge waffles). Chicken was dry, the gravy had a weird taste to it, and the waffles were too dry, as well. Gravy was bland, had to get some syrup to out down any of it. Waffle ice cream sundae was good. Adam Richman was good for his filming of Man v. Food.

  • Melissa S.

    I thought $15 was too much for a plate of pancakes..until the plate came out. Holy crap. Who EATS all that? My sister and I barely put a dent in it and left with three to go boxes. We're gonna be eating those pancakes for at least a week, so to me, it's a great deal, especially for Waikiki. Will come again, most likely drunk and looking for good eats.

  • Jessie R.

    It's strangely beautiful for a place that's open 24/7. I could see myself in there often BUT.... Service: Our server was rather pushy. We had one more person in our party who had not yet arrived and we told her we would like to wait till he arrived to order. However, she kept coming up to us and half asked half complained if we were ready to order. For God's sake, it's not because our friend was late, we were just there earlier than our reservation time. And I don't see why she should be rushing us, it's not like they ever close. Our glasses were empty most of the time as well. Food: Large portions, but pricey! $20 for a loco moco? I think not. I had the adobo chicken thighs ($14.50) and it came with some nicely seasoned potatoes, asparagus, and fried rice. The only decent thing was the vegetables. The rice was mushy, and the chicken was dry and hard. That seemed to be the complaint going around our table. My friend's loco moco hamburger patty was horribly charred underneath. Anothers spicy ahi bread came out looking something between puke and meatloaf. And you can't put something on the menu like char siu ramen when there are only 3 slices of char siu. It's sad, we were looking forward to this experience. Maybe we expected too much. Or bad night maybe?

    The atmosphere and decor at this restaurant doesn't make up for the crappy food and mediocre service. A list of what we had is as follows: Sweet Chili Chicken Wings...not bad, not great Baked Potato Soup....pretty good Chicken Fried Steak...salty & greasy Chicken Pot Pie...presentation was horrible but tasted descent Meatloaf...omg, the worst meatloaf I've ever had Devil's Food Peanut Butter Cup...boxed cake mix & Jiffy's peanut butter, need I say more The service here was pretty shabby too. There were bread and butter plates as part of our dinner settings. The only thing that was missing was the bread. Server brought out the Chicken Fried Steak minus the chicken fried steak so he had to run back to the kitchen to get it. All in all, I expected bigger and better out of this place. Probably won't give it another try. Way too expensive for another crappy meal.

    Well, I decided to try it again. With so many breakfast places opening - I usually don't give these places a second try - but given the rumor that there is a new chef and I like the setting - I thought I would try again. Unfortunately, nothing has changed from my first experience. Service was slow, food was bland and somewhat cold. The toast is NOT toast - it's merely warm bread. I would expect this type of food at Zippy's. My table didn't seem clean either. I spoke to someone who was the "manager" - seemed like an uptight guy who only provided excuses. OFF MY LIST FOR GOOD.

  • Cat S.

    When you're trying to sober up (or want more drinking) from a night of drinking this is the place to go for food because Denny's on Lewers street is a triple by-pass waiting to happen, IHOP is close somenights and some nights you just don't want to see the street hos that pick up their tricks in front of IHOP tonguing down throats while you try to sober up.... That and Mac 24/7 is open....24/7. The meals are pricy but you get a huge portion and they have a good variety. I always had good service and liked my meals. Maybe cause whenever I came here I was always toasted. LOL Nevertheless....Did I mention it's open 24/7?

    (4)

  • Rise D.

    I'm giving MAC 24/7 two stars because the dishes are very pricey and the quality is just okay. It's definitely more about quantity over quality here. I liked the tomato basil soup and grilled cheese sandwich, but I wouldn't pay $12 for it again. My bf had the loco moco ($17) which was huge, I didn't try it but he said it was pretty good. The restaurant is clean and has lots of trendy decorations, but the things on the menu don't need to be so overpriced. However, if you are very hungry late at night and are tired of Zippy's, this place might be an option for you.

    Next to Griddles in LA, this was the biggest pancake I have ever seen. I went in feeling like a champion, left with my tail tucked between my legs and feeling a little quesy from eating way too much. I barely put a dent in my meal, so defeated! Good service, lots of variety, great place for a budget meal or late night eat. I will be back!

    Worst dining experience ever. From the start, the seating arrangement bothered me. For the 5 of us, they stuck a chair at the end of a booth for 4. Meanwhile, bigger spacious tables were empty though the night. We went on off-peak hours (10:30 sat night) It was 10 min. before anyone greeted us at the table. When our server arrived, she asked if we were ready. We replied yes and then she walked away. She came back another 10 min later to take orders. She couldn't answer questions about the food. After that, the first dish came out 20 min later. The rest of the food came out gradually over the next 20 min. Last to come out was a smoothie, which we had to remind them about. Other people who were seated after us got their food first. Over dinner, asking our server for anything was a bother to her. She was not interested whatsoever in doing her job. A serving job probably doesn't suit her. When we were ready to leave their registers froze so we waited 20 min to get the bill, then another 30 to pay it. While this is something they could not control, they were apathetic in trying to make up for it. No explination/greeting from a manager. And the server avoided us at all costs, which we were used to by then. Whenever we made eye contact with her, she would keep walking. Food: Not good enough to make up for their lousy service. I had crab cakes and the meat was minced and probably had been frozen. Pancakes: Its only the novelty of being big. The batter is nasty. In my opinion, they must add cornmeal or something to the batter as a filler to reduce food costs. There's a grainy texture too. I've worked in restaurants myself and have had better service (and pancakes) at McDonald's. Food: 3 out of 5; Hospitality/Service: 1 out of 5; Ambiance: 3 out of 5; Timing: 1 out of 5. Not going back.

    I liked this place. I didnt know what I got myself into when I saw a 3 on yelp. We stayed at the hotel so we decided to try it. It reminded us of a modern diner that's a bit more expensive than most. The pancakes looked promising but sadly none of us was in the mood for a carb overload. There was a board of people who successfully completed the pancake challenge. I think you can look at the menu online, of all pancakes, I would have chosen the local one -pineapple, coconut, and macadamia. I'm just drooling thinking about them but I know, I didn't have any. The menu included breakfast and regular meal stuff. Breakfast was typical, waffles, overpriced cereal, etc. Regular food had local dishes and comfort food - burgers, comfort food, fusion, everything. I had the saimin (under salad) and asked for extra extra veggies. They were accommodating enough but still not a much as I'd hoped. lots of noodles and meat though. My dining Kate had the ahi tuna (that was not even red because it was overcooked...), chicken fried steak with Mac and a devils food cake (giant reese's except with chocolate cake). The second time we went I had the poke pita. The pita was stuffed with tuna, so it was good, but the dressing overpowered the mild taste of the fish. Maybe thats how it is, i wouldnt know. It is served over some spring mix and really yummy maui onion rings. The onion rings were a highlight of my trip. my dining mate had the Mahi mahi, which was like a tower of food.... Some crab meat and spinach layered on top of a mahi mahi filet, which all sat on a bed of rice in some thick stew (maybe with shrimp in it)? It was incredible and good, just good... Not great? We went around 11 and the wait for both times were at least 20 minutes... Kind of long but they need more staff.

    We stopped here on our last day in Waikiki. Let me start off by saying i underestimated this place. When i saw it on Man Vs. Food i thought it was just another place with large portions. Dont get me wrong. The pancakes were HUGE! but the other food on the menu was better. I ordered the short ribs which were really good. My girlfriend ordered the loco moco which was the sh*t. and my buddy had the best plate at the table. he ordered the Adobo plate. im filipino, and every filipino knows no one has better adobo than mom. but after eating the adobo here, my moms adobo cant touch it. haha. all in all. good place. friendly waiters. nice ambience. i would go again. just not to eat pancakes.

    KIm M. said it best. If you're wasted, in Waikiki, and it's late. Then this is the place for you. Otherwise, its mediocre food in a Costco (way to big) size. I also prefer saimin and pancakes that aren't big enough to eat me.

  • Nikki L.

    My boyfriend and I come here every now and then for late-night dates. The food is yummy, good sized portion for the price, the valet parking is cheap and the service is pretty good. So far our two favorite waiters that we oftentimes get (maybe they only work the late nights?) are Paul and Travis. Both of them are very attentive, friendly and knowledgable on the menu. I highly recommend you try the chicken fried steak....so unhealthy, but so delectable. :)

    Erm...I didn't hate it? I wouldn't say it's cheap food ($9 for tomato soup with some grilled cheese sandwich wedges), but it was fairly tasty (and if you split everything which is reasonable as the portions are pretty ginormous the food isn't THAT expensive)? I'm not rushing to go back, but I wouldn't dig my heels in and say "hell no" either.

  • Mark P.

    One question...how can you screw meatloaf up so badly? Dry, yet cold with no real flavors. An American classic gone horribly wrong, but presented with flair next to a meager portion of soggy vegetables. More hope for the club w/avacado when presented around a huge, delicious mound of mahogany colored fries was dashed by the arid flavor and dry toast bread of the sammich. This place could be so delicious and cool, but the decor and panache turn out to be all hype. I resisted dropping in for years, now it'll be a couple more before I fall back into the trap.

    Came here to try their Saimen at midnight since everyone else is closed in town. I had a horrible experience here. I sat by the bar and the area smelled like a dumpster. I understand that this joint opens 24/7 but come on, you gotta clean up and sanitize the place a bit every once and a while and give it some love dude. The whole time while I was eating, the overwhelming smell of week old stench of alcohol was unbearable while trying to enjoy my bowl of ramen. My ramen was bland. The soup base barely had any flavors. The ramen was ok. The rest of the condiments in my bowl, well no comment. Maybe I should off just stick with the usual breakfast hot sellers like their pancakes or eggs and stuff to be on the safer side. But definitely avoid their Saimen. As much as I hated Denny's, I probably would of had a more pleasant experience there.

    I've eaten here numerous times with my girlfriend & friends & the food isn't as good as I expected. I've had the Loco Moco, Pulled Kalua Pig Sandwich, & Beef Stew. The Loco Moco was sort of on the dry side, & the Beef Stew was crowded with vegetables & hardly any pieces of meat, & the Pulled Kalua Pig Sandwich is probably the best meal I've ordered so far. But every time I go there, I always order dessert, & the dessert I order is Xango ! I love their Xango's ! that is a must dessert to have even though you are full. It's orgasmic !

    great place for big group dinners, it's like having dinner with your family and eating homestyle meals and trust me the portions are HUGE!!! you get full just by readind the darn menu. service is a bit slow but then again it could just be our waiter.

    Pancakes were huge and we felt very wasteful. The setting is nice and it's kind of pricy, but what isn't in Waikiki?

    This is really only a review of the pancakes, which is all we got. Me and two friends went there at eleven o'clock this morning because most places had stopped serving breakfast. And although our rather portly concierge informed us that a single order of pancakes would be enough for the three of us, I was a bit skeptical; I was hungry, and I can eat a lot. We ordered the cinnamon and vanilla cakes, and I sat there expecting three wide-but-wimpy IHOP style flapjacks to arrive. I was wrong. Very wrong. The pancakes were delicious, especially topped with the guava syrup. We split them into quarters, and I was barely able to finish my portion. My friends nearly cleaned up but couldn't quite claim a victory. There was still a fourth of the meal left on the plate. Bill: 14.67 split three ways - a deal. I was in physical pain for about half an hour afterwards. Recommended.

    Ok modern diner. In the Hilton hotel so everything was inflated. Portions are good and sandwiches come with a dried pickle! Yum!! Club and pulled pork are reccomendations! Or try the pancake challenge, the pancakes are monstrous!!

    A good enough place with monster (and I mean it) pancakes. It's basically an overpriced diner, trying to be trendy. The food is good enough, especially if your within walking distance, but definitely not worth making a special trip. Just makes my 3 star rating!

    We didn't try the humongous pancakes because it didnt seem like 2 girls could finish one order, so we decided to share the Mac Attack instead. It came with 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. For $1 more we "upgraded" our pancakes to pineapple, coconut, macadamia nut. Everything was super delicious! The portions are huge! We were glad we shared because we couldn't even finish it. Our waiter was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. .

    It is clearly a Chef-driven restaurant managed and served by a group of dispassionate college kids with little professionalism. Their first impression was weak: the most awkward greeting. Throughout the meal, while we sat at the long and drawn-out counter, which seemed to be a cool spot (only if busy), staff would pass by and work carelessly in front of us demonstrating no cleanliness or hospitality. I let it go, I was visiting friends and family. Between the three of us, we ordered the meatloaf, fried chicken and waffles and chicken adobo. We split the sweet and spicy chicken wings as well. I was happy with the plate presentation and portions, but my Filipino style adobo was a disappointment. There was a heavy hand on the vinegar and somewhere along the way, it lost its "stew-like" character. Furthermore, it came on top of a flat bed of fried rice that killed it. White rice would have been fine. I'd go back again to see if things have changed. I support Hawaii's culture and restaurants, but the poorly managed Mac got me down. Hopefully next time.

    After a long night of karaoke and bar hopping, my friends and I found ourselves hungry and thought we'd hit up Mac 24/7. Some of my friends had been before, but this was my first time. I'm sure I just caught the place at a bad time, but the service was extremely slow (we waited about 20 minutes for the waitress to take our order and then had to wait 20 minutes after we finished for her to show up so that we could ask for the check, which then took even longer for her to bring back to us) and we didn't even get everything that we ordered (and we didn't even bother to complain about that because no one really wanted more food after we'd tasted what we did get). There were about 6 of us and we ordered two orders of pancakes to share, which was more than enough food. The bacon, sausage, potatoes, and eggs that came with the pancakes were tasty, but it's pretty hard to screw up these basic breakfast staples. The pancakes, on the other hand, are a different story. Even though they're what Mac 24/7 is known for (Man vs. Food), they were rather dry and tasteless for my taste. They were comically large, which I guess is part of the attraction, but their size was the only thing they had going for them. I'm glad I got to try this place out, but I would never come back here again.

    The food was good, but man the prices are insane. We loved the humungoid pancakes, chicken & waffles, omelettes and other delights...(different visits) the prices were just a bit much.

    I really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the food was great. I had the Chinese Chicken Salad. I have had 2 great Chicken salad's in my life. Cafe Laufer and now, MAC 24/7. Little one wanted the hubcap sized pancakes ( HUGE ) but talked him into a kiddie pancake and he could not finish that. Very moist and fluffy!! BF got the Short ribs... WONDERFUL!!! We even got dessert. Berry cobbler. That took us over the edge. but well worth it!! all in all WE all loved this place. Service was impeccable!! Can't wait to go back!!!!

    I came here to try my friends' talked about Macadamian nut panCAKEs... and I have to put the emphasis on CAKE b/c there is very minimal thing that this has anything to do with put on a frying pan. It took like 20 minutes for it to come out and I'm guessing b/c they had to bake it or pan frying for ever to make sure the middle gooo was done... I'd decribe the dimension to be on foot in diameter half an inch to 3/4 inch thick x 3... And... I was hoping to have the macadamian nuts inbedded in the panCAKES but.. no... they were sprinkled on top along with pineapples... Awesome??? well if you had 6 people to share it with to make you crave for more but... myself??? Makes you want to stay away from carbs the rest of the day. BUt I did enjoy the experience. Looks like from the pictures that if you finish all three in some timely manner you can get your picture take and hung on top. :) ME... my ambition for such accomplishment was no where near the thought after eating half of such monstrous cake...

    oh boy...this place sure was a tourist trap. our flight to honolulu was delayed and we arrived around midnight to our hotel in waikiki. we were really hungry and the hotel gave us a list of places that were around the hotel. Mac 24-7 was listed as a 24 hour cafe, and was only two blocks away from our hotel. we were absolutely starving and tired of eating fast food from the airport and thought this was a good option. for some of us, its our first or second time in hawaii and our first night of new vacation, so although i understand beggars can't be choosers at 12 midnight, i just had to review this place so you other tourists out there planning to visit waikiki don't fall into the tourist trap we did. let's start with the bad and the ugly. overpriced for sub-par comfort hawaiian food. for $13, my sister and i each got the 2 eggs with Portuguese sausage (with potatoes and toast). we were expecting more than just three slices or "coins" of sausage, but i guess that's our bad for not knowing that beforehand. but seriously, $13 for 2 eggs and three slices "coins" of portuguese sausage? a bit insane (and it didn't even taste like anything special). our friend got the loco moco which was $17. this dish really tasted a bit bland too, we piled a ton of tabasco just to give it a little flavor. now onto the good. service and ambiance. the service was generally pretty good. we were greeted upon entrance and exit by the hostess who was really nice (i'll give that). the ambiance had a modern spin to it and the music booming in the background was filled with all the top 40 jams, something we all like. i'd give my review an extra star for service, but when it came to paying the bill-and we did a cash/credit card split out for a group of four - the waiter came back to our table and said, "i don't know what this means," in a condescending tone. now, if you knew me, i'm generally pretty nice (to everyone) but at the same time, i also can't tolerate an attitude, so i really didn't appreciate the tone of that question. we explained what we wanted, and he understood, but i probably just wasn't happy with the food already, so that alone killed my mood. in summation...never again. walk down a few more blocks on kuhio and find something else for your late night eats.

    went there just to try the giant pancakes. we thought it would be crowded since it was a saturday morning, but we sat right down, no wait. we ordered the blueberry, they were dry and not tasty at all. only had 3 small slices and then got a stomach ache. it wasn't really worth the $15.00.

  • Christine C.

    I heard many a good things about this place and their HUGE menu. So, I was a bit excited to try it. When we got here, the place was almost empty...a few single patrons eating/drinking at the bar and a couple seated in a booth. For a restaurant trying to look and feel hip, that's the last thing that I thought when entering the establishment. I ended up ordering the Chicken Fried Steak and Mac and Cheese. I thought the dish was good...the Chicken Fried Steak with gravy was tasty, a bit salty for my taste, but still good. The Mac and Cheese with peas was better than I expected...actually I would go there to order a big bowl of the Mac and Cheese if I could! I would come back to try the pancakes the next time I was in town...but the prices might make me think again.

  • C O.

    Mac 24-7 used to be really, really good. That was two years ago. They've since raised their prices, cut out the majority of their menu, and forgotten how to properly train their staff. My wife and I used to go here every few weeks because we loved their grilled cheese, tomato bisque, milkshakes, and mac n cheese. The last two times we went the service was terrible, the prices were absurd, and the quality of the food had declined spectacularly. There are seriously better places to eat. The Travel Channel only filmed here because they have large pancakes. Think about it, honestly, if that's your claim to fame---your restaurant must be pretty crappy in all other aspects.

  • mary r.

    decided to give this place another chance after my last experience which was less than stellar. sat at the counter where I was greeted right by the friendly and attentive bartender (who refilled my coffee and water throughout my meal WITHOUT having to be asked). I ordered the loco moco which was tasty but seems to have shrunk in size...and for $17 didn't really seem to be worth the price. the service this time around was way better than last time and they seem to have made some good adjustments in that area...i will return again sometime soon after my wallet has recovered from the dent i made in it.

    Food is okay, service is fine. We mainly went here because Man vs. Food filmed an episode here and we wanted to see it. Pancakes are HUGE, but they're ok. Good place to go to dinner if it's late, lots of selection. My husband got the Saiman Noodle bowl, he said it was ok (not the best he's ever had, but not bad either). All in all, not a bad place to visit.

    Wow....this place was soooo over rated. I only went here because the dude from Man VS. Food ate here. I'll give them this....that pancake was HUGE. But....it was a whole round mound of not that great of a pancake. No wonder that dude from Man VS. Food couldn't finish it.....or maybe he didn't want to finish it. Also, a buddy of mine ordered the saimin because the picture in the menu made it looked sooo good. When it came out, it looked nothing like what he was expecting. All 11of us decided that we would never come here again. 'Nuff said..

    This place was a HUGE disappointment. I had looked up the website prior to going and was going to order the pancakes 'cause I had been craving pancakes for a while. The menu the waitress gave us listed the pancakes at $21!!! There was no way we'd pay twenty bucks for pancakes, no matter how good they were supposed to be! There were 3 other booths that were occupied and all the customers were already eating, but our waitress was extremely impatient as she came by to ask us if we were ready to order 2 minutes after she handed us the menu. I ordered the crab cakes and the baked potato soup while my friend ordered the peach and berry cobbler. SALTY is probably the only word I could use to describe both of my dishes. I got full from all the water I drank because everything was so salty. The crab cakes, while full of crab and practically no fillers, were super salty. The plate they came out in was hotter than the cakes themselves. According to my friend, the cobbler was too tart, and they had forgotten to give her the ice cream that was supposed to come with the dish. The waitress took another 5 minutes to look at the menu again to see if it came with the ice cream. I'm definitely not coming back and I don't recommend this place. I know it's in Waikiki so prices will definitely be higher, but there are other places in Waikiki that would be worth paying higher prices for.

    I received a response from the Mac 24/7 owner, Brett C, explaining the situation and policies regarding the splitting of checks. I have to say how impressed I am with his promptness to clear up any confusion and assumptions that were made on my part. I would like to clarify that the only reason I had assumed the manager as being lazy was due to her response of "I will split 2 checks, but no more than that." Her tone of voice and body language aided in my conclusion of her. Perhaps it was a bad day for her or even an incorrect interpretation on my end. If I have offended the evening manager in any way, shape, or form, I sincerely apologize. After receiving a response from Brett C, it is evident that the staff is doing all that it can to ensure that it's customers are satisfied and informed. Two thumbs up to Mac 24/7! I will most certainly be back the next time I am visiting the islands.

    Located just off the lobby of the Hilton Wikiki Prince Kuhio, Mac 24/7 offers a hearty feast in a slightly upscale diner decor. Three flat screen TV's provided great coverage of the olympic games. I had the rich, savory and delicious "Smoked Salmon Benedict" partnered with generous portion of breakfast potatoes. I prefer a dry english muffin to contrast the richness of the sauteed spinach, poached egg, holandaise and fabulous smoked salmon. However Mac 24/4's english is smothered in butter which equates to a grease dumpling rather than a crispy neutral contrast. Furthermore a small melon/fruit cup as part of the plate would be a welcomed finish. My wife of 18 years had the $9 bowl of oatmeal that was served with her choice of fruit and even soy milk. The staff was exceptionally friendly, courteous and attentive. Our 4 AM breakfast was expensive ($30 for 2, did I mention the $9 bowl of oatmeal?), entertaining (olympics on tv, hangover crowd in force), and delicious (good food with Kona Blend Joe). If you are looking for upscale diner food, give it a try.

    A regular order of pancake was big enough to feed 7 of us for $15. We couldn't decide on which kind so we ordered 2. Needless to say we left behind 1/3 of each kind after stuffing ourselves to the gills. To think they weren't even the challenge size pancakes. Very clean, contemporary feel to the place. Refreshing for Waikiki.

    We stayed in the Hilton during our trip to Hawaii. And having yelped this place beforehand, I really did not even want to bother eating there. But after wanting something quick without having to leave the hotel or hop in the car, we decided to give it a try. Everything on this restaurant's menu is BIG. BIG servings, BIG coffee cups, and BIG prices. I didn't want to be too weighed down for the day's activities, so BF and I both decided on coffee and biscuits w/ gravy. With everything else being so damn big, I thought our food would be too. HA, was I wrong. It was decent, but rinky dink. You get 4 little biscuits covered in gravy. For about 8 bucks. 2 bucks a biscuit. Weak. Coffee is 4 bucks each. But it comes in a ginormous coffee cup (the kinds they had on Friends, at Central Perk). So I guess that's ok. They leave you with the pitcher of coffee and if you don't finish what's in your cup they'll give you the disposable coffee cups so you can take it with you. The booth next to us got an order of the pancakes. They're HUGE. Honestly, two people couldn't even finish it. And the waitress said if one person can finish off the plate, you get a prize (or a free meal)...you get something for it. But that's one person, you can't share. So good luck with that.

    Had a large group and they were very accomodating. One kid did the Mac Daddy Challenge and really, he didn't stand a chance. Those pancakes were HUGE!!! For fifteen bucks it's really not a bad deal. You could probably feed five with one order. Our server Priscilla was a doll. She was sweet with just enough attitude and tons of personality. Only problem I ran into, quite literally, is the glass fishbowl around the private dining area. Can you put some stickers on those doors or something to make them visible, or do you all collect the faceprints of people like me?

    When I saw this place on Man vs. Food, I had high hopes that this place would be great. I have to say that this place let me down. The breakfast was good, but nothing special. If I go to a place and feel like I can cook an equivalent or better breakfast myself, then it's a big letdown. I have to say, the HUGE pancakes that they serve was actually pretty good. I can't see how anyone can eat it by themselves, so much props to Adam for trying.

    Hubby ordered the breakfast that came with eggs, sausage, and a huge waffle with strawberries and I ordered the "mini" version of the Elvis pancakes. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. My only complaint would be that the "mini" version is HUMONGOUS!!! I ate maybe 1/8 of the plate!! $3 valet parking is good, too! Will definitely go back here to try other dishes. For Waikiki, I thought the prices were good, especially considering the size of the dishes.

    Had my wedding rehearsal dinner last friday here at MAC 24/7. I had 35 guests all together and had arranged for a limited menu with the help of their manager - Brett. They reserved the private dining area for my party - loved the decor - reminded me of south beach a little bit The appetizers were excellent!!! - we had the sweet and spicy chicken wings, spicy calamari and the chinese chicken salad served family style. Out of the three - the chinese chicken salad received raves from the guests, the calamari came second. I think the sweetness of the chicken wings threw people off thats why it had mixed reviews. Entrees - 90% of our guests ordered the mahi-mahi entree - I was really happy that the portion of the mahi-mahi itself was fairly large, I was afraid it was gonna be mostly spinach and rice. I think it's the sauce that makes this dish Dessert - of course we went with the huge pancakes, they brought out five different kinds. Made for a good conversation but I think the pancakes themselves were okay. it's their sheer size that makes people go WOW not so much their taste. I expected this since I have read the reviews, i ordered them anyway because they are different and about more than half of my guests watch man vs food. Service: WAS EXCELLENT!!!! They have assigned i believe 4 servers to our party. It was more than enough, everyone said they took care of whatever they need in a timely manner. I highly recommend this place especially for a large group of people. They will take care of you from planning to the last guest leaving.

    Echoing many other reviews: decent (but by no means great) food and slow service. Sit at the bar if possible, as the best service I've had is there. This would be a two-star review, but they have awesome Cherry Lime Rickeys so that adds another star.

  • Kent I.

    I went here last weekend and wasn't going to mention the horrible service that I received, because I figured that it was just someone having a bad day, but after reading other reviews I guess I'll mention my experiences. Let me preface by saying that I have been to mac 24/7 three times and the first two times the service was ok, not good or bad. This last time however, I was treated to the worst service I have had in a long time. The waiter came up to us and asked "what do you want?" My friend wanted to order the Apple oatmeal granola and the waiter gave a firm "no. you can't order that" When we inquired why, he gave a terse "we have never served that", but we pointed out that it was printed in the MENU. He then said "I know what we have here, order something else". At the end of the meal he refused to split the bill 2 ways. For a group of 4 to split the bill two ways doesn't seem too much to ask, but the waiter took it personally and said "can't you split it yourselves?" I laughed, because I thought he was joking, then I stopped because he was serious. Now people are probably wondering if we were drunk or rude (I would). However, my friends and I are actually very laid back, because we have all worked as a waiter or waitress at some point and understand what its like to have terrible customers. Anyways on to the food: The food at mac 24/7 is pretty standard actually. I have had or tasted a few different things on the menu and I would say overall they're pretty good. So the two items people always rave about are the mac and cheese and the pancakes. Now, the mac and cheese is actually very good, I would recommend it. The pancakes, as others have mentioned, are HUGE. Absolutely, massive. You will never see a pancake this big anywhere. It really is a sight to see, its fun to watch people's expressions. Ah, but how does it taste? Disappointing. Yes, the pancakes are huge, but what good is it when it doesn't taste good. Seriously, it would be better to buy some bisquick, it would taste better.. The pancakes are very heavy and a little dry (its nearly impossible to avoid, considering the size). After the shock of how large the pancakes are wears off, I always start to wish for the light, moist pancakes I love, even if I have to "sacrifice" the size. So is this place worth going to? Yes, its kind of gimmicky, but can be fun to go to and see the huge pancakes, despite the possibility of bad service.

    Well for late grindz not a lot of choices in waikiki or HNL for that matter anymore..used to hanabata dayz one could go to Eggs n' Things, Hungry Lion etc for late night grindz...All Pau...So surprised by the quality of some off the offerings. The pancakes are Gianormous and should be shared with 4 to 8 people...Breakfasts are good not great. The 1/2lb burger is big too. but pretty ono..Don't expect much late night not a lot of choices. Besides if your going to complain about the prices, remember its Waiks! So if you pake go Jack-in-da box drive in I guess. . But by far my favorite is their Braised Beef Short ribs with the Garlic smashed potatoes or if not grooving that can sub for da rice action a great reduction Gravy to boot! Would recommend it as alternative to Marie's and Zippy's. Also they validate parking with valet for 3 bucks! can't beat that for Waikiki for 3 hrs parking too!!! I find late night seems to be more consistent than full breakfast hour...Don't venture too many tourist during the Weekends too! But interesting if you like to watch people..they get all kindz: party people, tourist all drunk and Hookers with customers...cracks me up sometimes da crowd that shows up.

    Mediocre food, slow/overwhelmed service. My wife and I, with the wee ones in tow decided to eat here, not once, but twice, in the hopes that our initial experience was a fluke. Unfortunately, the service was still lacking. This used to be the Trellises restaurant which actually offered a pretty decent buffet. When a decision couldn't be reached as to where we should hold our family get togethers it was always the place that we'd go to. Since closing they've gone through a major renovation and have re-opened as Mac 24-7. They have a reputation for having enormous servings, particularly their pancakes. The pancakes have been tried, with bananas and chocolate even, and yes, they were the size of a dinner plate. Unfortunately they were extremely dry. On our first visit we were seated on the rear side of the restaurant which faces the courtyard. It's not a bad view, unfortunately it took FOREVER to get our drinks and our order. On our second visit we were seated on the counter side of the restaurant, there are TVs to look at, but really, if I'm going to a restaurant I'm not there to watch TV. Our second waiter tried valiantly to get us served in a timely manner (in fact, so did our first waiter), unfortunately he seemed overworked and overwhelmed. For whatever reason Mac 24-7 has made it a point to have only one or two persons working the floor during the day. WTF-Chuck? Get on the ball, dole out some extra cash and get some folks on the floor so the one guy doesn't get blindsided with a ton of tables and the patrons won't have to wait 30 minutes for a refill on water or watch as plates sit on the counter waiting to be picked up. I was underwhelmed by the eggs benedict, which was served with a home fries, which was more like a potato salsa as it consisted of potatoes, bell peppers, green onion, and pineapple. Go figure. It's not that it was bad, it just didn't seem appropriate. Anywho, if'n you're craving a long wait time and so-so food, then this be the place for you, if not, well...there's a bunch of other places in Waikiki where you can get better food with a quicker turn around time.

    couldn't not come here after seeing my friends pictures from her vacation. pancakes were MASSIVE! and they're free if you can finish them in one hour. got the toppings on the side. they offer 3 different types of syrup but are a bit stingy on the butter. the pancake was not as fluffy as i normally like them but they're huge. i wouldn't come here again but it was a good experience. total bill $17.00 for the pancakes + tip. wait staff is super polite and fast. you can valet your car for $3.00 with validation at the restaurant.

    ********PLEASE READ*********** If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, I would. First off, I had to wait like 20 minutes and they asked for your cell number to contact you when a seat is available.....that's a first. Second, the food is sooooo overpriced!......typical entree is anywhere from $18-30. If I was at Hy's or somewhere higher classed restaurant....that price range would be acceptable. The food was also very rich and oily. If that's the kind of food you look....so be it. And last, because the restaurant is at a Hotel......there's a $3 mandatory charge for valet and with a $5. Lesson learned......I could've got a way better meal at Millions, Zippy's, where 1/3 the price. There's a reason this restaurant doesn't have 4 starts at least.

    My husband and I ended up eating here a few times since it was located in the hotel we were staying at. The food comes in HUGE portions, big enough to share so of coarse they were priced to feed two. I thought the pancakes were awesome and so was the chicken friend steak. The service their however is pretty awful... be prepared to wait and wait and wait, even when they arent busy. Overall not too bad of a place, good food but a little pricey. I would go back their again if I take another trip to Honolulu :)

    pancake review only: the pancake itself isn't remarkable (we had banana, walnut, and choco chunk). It's very very sweet, but not moist enough for my taste. however, it's HUGE. (that's what she said) the two of us couldn't even finish half of it. considering that it probably serves four people, it's not too bad price-wise, but after eating that much pancake and barely making a dent in it, suffice to say, i don't want to see another one of those things for at least eight years.

    Remember "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" with Lily Tomlin? Portions at Mac 24-7 are no joking matter. The plates / bowls (tureens, or what christa w. so aptly describes as her bathroom sink) are offensively large, but who knows, maybe I'm just shrinking. It's all about perspective, after all. Order the Sumo Saimin. I dare you.

    I was on this rampant, and perhaps awkward Pancake binge. Ever since I saw this place profiled on the Travel Channel's 'Man vs Food' I had an abnormal craving for pancakes. And the simple short stack that was offered at IHOP just was not going to cut it. I saw on my glowing mega box of entertainment - my TV - a serving of 4 L-B's of pancake that also was served with a pound of toppings. I was amazed. To that day I had pancake bliss stuck on my brain. Every waking moment was "PANCAKE" - even on occasion my Facebook profile exclaimed my griddled greed. So finally, after listening to my days, probably weeks of pancake perseverance my friend John O. decided he had had enough with my hints and invited me to the MAC24/7. First impressions: Trendy, hip and cool. They got that 'new age' elevator music playing in the background. Second impressions: I thought It was a Pancake house - thanks Travel Channel - I saw OTHER things that I wanted, but we were THERE for pancakes - sadness because I saw Chicken and Waffles and thought - OMG that has got to be delicious - and I am no where near Rosco's!! Third impression: why the menu only have two pancake flavor options!? - totally 1 star off... I was expecting more flavors - John O. even bitched about the flavor after I chose it - not like I had an option... I should have asked if there were more flavors, but THEY SHOULD LIST THEM IF THERE WERE MORE FLAVORS... slight disappointment. Not my fault. After all my impressions we got out pancakes... three stacked about the size of a Little Ceasar's Pizza Hot and Ready. Needless to say, three of us could not finish the mighty mountain of Banana, Walnut and Chocolate. Overall - will I return? Maybe. I would like to try the Chicken and Waffels. The price for the Pancakes were good - $15 and probably serves 8... three of us stuffed our faces and only managed to eat like half - maybe. RECOMMENDATION: don't get the Banana Walnut and Chocolate pancakes - blah, the chocolate gets to chocolaty and the walnuts start making you gag... try Blueberry - or some other flavors - IF THEY EXIST!?!?

    Brad wanted to eat here because he saw this place on Man vs. Food. They have a Mac Daddy pancake challenge that Adam attempted for the show. The pancake challenge comes with only three pancakes but they are HILARIOUSLY massive. I can't imagine how anyone could eat all of it, but 41 people have apparently done it. Adam wan't one of them. Neither was Brad. I helped Brad eat a little of it and there was still more than two-thirds left when we were done. He asked to take it with him and they put it in a box big enough for a large sheet cake! Anyway, him with the massive pancakes made a cute photo but they weren't the best pancakes I've ever had. They weren't buttermilk fluffy at all, just the opposite, they were dense and sticky and maybe kind of greasy. But maybe that's part of the challenge. Anyway, my food was great, I got an omelet and country potatoes. The staff and service were also great and I thought the menu was really good with a lot of variety, especially for breakfast. We'll definitely go again sometime!

    The only reason they get 2 stars is for the interior decorating, it must have cost quite a bit. Their food sucks and is filled with TONS of butter and oil. The bread they give you soaks the brown paper bag they put it in up with oil before your dinner arrives. Everyone in my party thought the dessert was bad. The cake tasted like it was previously frozen and the bread pudding thing just tasted like mush. Everything seems overpriced and the service is slow. There are so many good places to go in Waikiki, dont waste the time and money here.

    I've stumbled into here many times in the wee hours of the morning.. I always get the tomato soup that comes with grilled cheese squares yummm! BUT the pancakes suck. Dry and boring... Actually all the food isn't that great. overpriced and the food is below average.. minus my soup.

  • Roya K.

    We went here because my friend saw this place on Man vs. Food, so we checked it out for an early dinner. I wasn't really in the mood for breakfast food, so I just ordered a sandwich. It was pretty good. Nothing really special. But man, the people sitting behind us were taking the pancake challenge, and GOOD FREAKIN' GOD MAN, no one person should EVER consume that massive quantity of pancakes. I'm pretty sure all those pancakes could feed an entire family. I have to admit though, they smelled great. Maybe if I ever go back, I'll try pancakes- but see if I can order a normal person sized stack. :)

    Don't really care much about this.. maybe because when I went I was really late and all I ate was the tomato soup. I didn't like it. It's too peppery.

    I rolled in there one night after hitting some bars, trying an alternative to zippys and jack in the box. Got the loco moco and shared the biscuts and gravy with friends. It was the most expensive loco moco I've ever had, and it definitely wasn't worth the price. Biscuts and gravy were bomb though. Overall, it was ok...but I think I'm gonna stick with boring old zippys and jack in the box :)

    This place is a joke.... right? First of all, the first time we tried eating at this place there was no parking in the garage. We decided it was too late in the evening to find street parking and left. The second time we got garage parking, yes! Valet was annoying though. Then there's the restaurant. I walk in and I see a "diner" sort of set up. Then I walk to the back and I see... VEGAS! It was weird to say the least. I wasn't impressed by the menu. Nothing really caught my eye so I settled with the Mac 'n Cheese. Yum, I know. Anyway the Mac 'n Cheese comes and I totally forgot it said there were PEAS! in it. I wasn't too excited but ate it, and it was okay. The pancakes are huge for no apparent reason. My boyfriend's mom got a huge bowl of Ramen... why, I don't know. I was bored. Plus side? The drinks were good and our waitress was nice. All I'm saying is, if I get a mad craving for pancakes, I know where to go! But other than that, I'll pass.

    While on vacation we always tend to spend alot of money on meals,but when you are in honolulu the mac daddy challenge at mac 24/7 is the meal that has value and is a must to have...my family of four barely ate half and we ate off it for two more days.At $15.00 + tax its honolulu's cheapest meal..service was slow but they gave us a fruit plate full of pineapple,bananas,strawberries for the wait..order any pancake choice and you will be happy...(beautiful hotel)

    Mucho Gracias Jose for turning Dave and I on to Mac 24/7, it rocks. Sitting at a comfy table with ergonomic chairs looking out on a lush garden with a lava rock water fall in a Hilton a block from the beach at Waikiki, and with a menu that covers almost all the bases makes me a happy camper. Dave ordered the 'pulled kalua pork s'wich with white cheddar' and I drilled down on the '1/2 lb. angus cheeseburger with Swiss', so the event begins. The waiter appeared soon with our food, plated on large white Asian influenced squares that render portions 'petite' and do a disservice to the chef and restaurant. The burger was served open face on a lightly toasted right size bun that was soon able to absorb the non existant juices the meat produced. There was a generous portion of fries sprinkled with pepper and apparently salt free. There were two slices of tomato and a mitt full of iceberg lettuce and a ramekin of Heinz. Absent we're mustard and mayo along with onion, which came after a couple requests. On the plus side, the plate offered up my 1st French fried dill spear and it was surprisingly tasty. The burger was ok, just ok, and the service was lackluster at best. Dave loved his kalua pulled pork s'wich so all things being equal, Mac 24/7 is a garden variety burger let down. I think this is an ambitious attempt for a really smart diner operator and a disaster for a corporate restaurant manager. It's a good looking space with quirky and odd lay out and decor, but an interesting experience on Waikiki.

    I just had a delicious meal of grilled salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus. It was perfect with a glass of ice tea. It really hit the spot after a long day at the beach. The atmosphere is updated and cozy. I also come here for breakfast/brunch- love the eggs benedict!

  • Satoru Y.

    Open late? Yes. Concept gone wrong? Yes. After reading so much hype about this place, I am sorely disappointed. The food is kinda blah and poorly executed*, the decor feels confused and rushed**, and the ambiance was just unusual***. However, the service wasn't bad. I really hate some of Hawaii's food critics. They really don't know what the fuck they are talking about half the time. There is no excuse for some of the suggestions some of these morons make. We really need to get good food critics here that truly understand flavors, interior critque, and ambiance. Add this to the many times that Hawaii's critics rubber stamp a place. * My eggs benedict was boring: the hollandaise sauce, the key ingredient, was bland; the muffin wasn't even toasted or warm. Jen's loco moco was also bland: the sauce had no flavor; they added shiitake mushrooms that gave it a clashing flavor (a better choice would've been porcini or portabello mushrooms that would flow the flavors together) **Although the place does have a modern look to it. It almost seems a little dately art-deco to me. While this look works for now, it will be outdated in a few years. The diner seating in the middle of the place goes against the modern look they were going for. Plus there's a bakery area which clash with the rest of the place. ***The music playing was poorly chosen obnoxious Irish songs. The sports games playing on the screens made the determinedly mondern posh place seem more like a sports bar.

    For spring break 2008, I stayed in the Hilton hotel with my girlfriend. I am so happy they had this restaurant! We arrived very late at night, and at midnight I had a meal fit for a king! The portions are very big, but I'm a big guy so I tried to tackle my meal. My girlfriend's pancakes were huge, and she took the rest to go (which could be eaten for a few other meals, they were that big). Everything tasted very fresh, and I was very happy with my meal. The menu is very large, but everything I have tried there I throughly enjoyed!

    Not bad for the late night roundabouts, really hard to find 24 hr service in Waikiki and it's understandable. The food was awesome, especially their slow roasted kalua pork sandwich. The service could've been better. Our waiter forgot 3 of the sides we had ordered and when we asked about them he said he'd get them...never did. I guess that's cool if you're slammed, but we were his only table.

  • Akane K.

    there are things i love about this place and thing i hate. i actually used to work here but good thing this place wasn't open yet bc i would've been here all the time. the people are very friendly here and i got to know a lot of them bc i was there every weekend after last call to soak up some of that booze. but i do have to agree with everyone that they are slllllooooow. but the think that makes it good are things that you can't find anywhere else. the dish that i ordered the most often has to be the chicken and waffles. instead of syrup. the fried chicken is generous and they use nice spices and the waffles are the best. they have little bits of corn and jalapenos in it, which makes it a savory delight. and i believe that they put corn meal in the batter too. i like that it's different than most chicken and waffle places. here are some other suggestions: - kalua pork sandwich (strong in flavor but very tender) - pineapple creamsicle five dollar shake (love the name bc it reminds of pulp fiction but not the price) but don't be sucked into the lobster pot pie. i made that mistake once. not worth it. i haven't been here for about a year so i don't know if it has gone downhill but this is was a great late night option after a night out in waikes.

    The waiter was flirting with my friend, but we still did not get great service! Perhaps it was because my friend was not flirting back (geez, he could have just taken one for the team, but noooooo). We did enjoy the food a lot, though. So, let's get down to it... Food: Good. I had the chicken and waffles. It was a big, round, fluffy waffle with little pieces of jalepeno pepper in it. On top was the fried chicken (very little batter). There was a wing, a drumstick, a thigh and a breast on that waffle with a little container of white country gravy. Even for $16, it was a lot of food. One friend had the angus burger, which was homemade and grilled to her specifications. It came with skinny french fries, two little ramekins of ketchup and mustard, and a battered and fried pickle spear (which was pretty yummy). My other friend (with whom the waiter had a little flirt action going on) ordered the sticky asian chicken wings (which were sticky with asian flavors). It was pretty good. He also had the pecan praline french toast. It was ok, quite a bit of cinnamon, but not really a stand-out. Based on other people's posts, I will have to try the cupcakes and the mac and cheese next time. I heard the pancakes are huge, but average. All in all, I was quite happy with the food. Service: A little lacking. I think our water glasses were refilled once the whole time (and I drink water like a camel after a long desert trip trying to re-stock). The place was not very full, so I am not sure why we didn't get more attention. A gentleman sitting at the counter actually asked for the manager to report poor service (he had different wait staff serving him). Ambiance: Very cool. It's a long, narrow room with a huge counter with counter service on one side, and red booths on the other side. The counter is interspersed with flat screen t.v.s and the last booth has a flat screen on its wall. All the red and gleaming accents give a clean, modern look to an old-fashioned style. When you get all the way to the back, there is a screened-in Chef's Table, and on the right is the kitchen (although they can make some stuff for you at the counter). If you walk around the counter, past the Chef's Table, there is a huge space that looks like a small banquet ballroom. Overall: Despite the spotty service, I would definitely go again and try some other menu items. Again, because of the service, it is probably not a good place to go if you are in a rush, but if you have some time to chat with family or friends, it's a great alternative to the 24-hour places in Honolulu.

    Service here is friendly and prompt. They give you two menus, which is confusing, since they are basically the same, with a few differences. It takes too much time to read back and forth, trying to figure out what is different. They should just give you one menu. Tomato soup with grilled cheese was excellent. Mac & cheese was tasty, but needed a side item like fruit or bread to offset the creamy, rich taste. Breakfast was tasty: eggs benedict could use more hollandaise and Mac Attack came with so-so red potatoes. They don't have hashbrowns or real maple syrup.

    Very disappointed with the food quality. The portions are huge, it's a waste. My husband and I tried breakfast and dinner here.... Couldn't finish half the meals. Food quality is comparative to a slummy diner. Super over-priced, unless you plan to share your meal with someone. The service was decent, he told us our left-overs would feed local pigs! Free food for the pigs, smart.

    I ate here once ... didn't have a great experience, so I tried it again and same thing. Didn't enjoy the meal or drinks here. And i think its overpriced. I have not experienced the pancakes, but they look cool (they're as big as a car tire).

    This place was very interesting. As I flew in the mid evening, get my rental car, and check into my hotel, it was nearly 11:30pm on a Thursday evening. Being hungry, many places were already closed. Speaking with the front desk, they mentioned about Mac 24/7 about 1 1/2 blocks away. Inside was kind of LA/Hollywood style restaurant/bar. I ordered the Sweet & Smoky Kahlua pork sandwich. My wife, the sumo saimin. Well, the portion was huge. The saimin was nearly about 3-4 order of regular saimin found elsewhere. Absolutely could not finish because it was a size for a sumo wrestler, thus "sumo" saimin. The sandwich was good. Definitely a comfort food item with fries. This place is open 24 hours, and place where you can get some late night grinds. There was a lobster pot pie that sound interesting, but thinking it may be too rich for a late night dinner. Other items were interesting too. A table next to me ordered pancakes. Well, these pancakes were the size of a large plate...a good 10-12 in in diameter, nearly an inch thick topped with loads of fruits. Now, times that by 3. The servers were friendly, but I wish they would give us a heads up of what we were getting into. Easily the saimin can be shared by 2-3 people. I would go back trying some different items.

    Staying at the Hilton Waikik Prince Kuhio on girls trip. Best intro to Honolulu by trying their pancakes. We'd heard they were memorable - stopped by for late lunch snack before hitting the beach. Shared one stack for 4 women, not knowing we would only eat 1/4 of the plate amidst all of us. The banana,walnut,chocolate chip pancakes were delicious. Will post my photo later.

  • Wayne T.

    This restaurant has no business charging $17 for a Loco-Moco especially when it is quite possibly one of the worst in Hawaii. Generic, straight out of the box hamburger patty + Over-cooked eggs, fried to the point of crunchy rubber + Flavorless water-gravy with mushroom = A recipe for complete disaster! At this point I feel that this restaurant is little more than one broke dick tourist trap. BELOW AVERAGE.

    Would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the server ignoring us on our 3rd visit. 6 of us. 1st visit for dinner. Our server was excellent. 4 ordered dinner meals which were fantastic. Chicken & Waffles, club sandwich to name a few. 2 of us ordered the Mac Daddy Pancake with blueberries. Simply wonderful. Barely put a dent in it, so we boxed it us and had it for breakfast the next morning. Even with 6 of us, we couldn't finish it. What a deal that was. $15 for 3 14" pancakes. 2nd visit for breakfast. Our server was very good. The other server from the other night recognized us and came over to talk with us. 4 of us ordered the Mac Daddy Pancake with Struesel. Again we couldn't finish it. It was delicious. 3rd visit late evening. Went a few days later for dessert. Server ignored us. Perhaps because we were only ordering dessert. More attention on the other table with dinner items. All in all, we enjoyed our experience there and would return again..and again. Oh yeah, the parking was only $3 if you validate it at the restaurant.

    Anywhere from about twelve to fifteen dollars, you could order three large pancakes, the size of steering wheels, no joke! About 14 inches in diameter, you could never finish the plate alone, or at least finish them in one sitting. A very chic and contemporary restaurant located on the first floor of Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel. A bit expensive, for example, never in my life bought a glass of milk that cost $4.oo! Well, not until I visited MAC 24-7. A bit overpriced, but the pancakes were worth every dollar.

    this resturant has pretty spiffy modern interior design & plasma tvs. plus free vallet parking! but the food was not as good as i expected. the magazines exaggerated a bit. i was not so happy with the sumo saimin and my boyfriend was not happy with his ahi filet mignon thingi. o well, maybe we just got the wrong thing on the menu.

    You guessed it. This place is open all night!! Which is great when you are in the mood for GIANT pancakes! Okay so they aren't the best pancakes in the world but they are the biggest. Not everything on the menu is super sized. They do have a variety of things to offer including mac and cheese and chicken and waffles (Roscoe's is still #1) The decor is very sleek and undinerlike. Overall, it is a nice alternative to late night dining.

    Unfortunately due to jet lag I had some pretty odd sleeping habits this latest trip, the fact that I drank way too much in the sun also didn't help. Anyway, to cut a long story short I found myself waking up at 1am this morning having not eaten anything since breakfast (see review of Wailana Coffee House). Pretty much the only places to eat at that time are the aforementioned Wailana and MAC 24/7. I have to say that I was ambivalent about MAC. The place itself was very kitch. At 2 in the morning it was mostly full of people who had the munchies after a night of drinking. As a result the ambience was a little annoying given the fact that everyone else was drunk and I was stone cold sober. Anyway the food here was very good but just so damn expensive. $15 for a burger sans fries is just a little too much for me, and $8 beer is excessive. That being said the "family" bar tender was very friendly. Overall I gave this a fair 3 our of 5.

  • miss b.

    i love 24 hr joints! sorta upscale vegas-style eating in hawaii. FOOD: ~lobster pot pie was excellent. puff pastry so light, & contents tasted like good home cooking. not sure worth the cost. ~meatloaf too grainy, definitely had better elsewhere. mash potatoes were wonderfully light. ~macadamia nut bread pudding cupcake was tasteless. i asked for a side of chocolate sauce & over-dipped every piece in it. order oversized entrees & share family style. must try their breakfast (supposedly known for pancakes) & sumo saimin next time! DECOR: the reason to go! it's sooo nice. i feel sooo comfortable there. SERVICE: gourmet food in a gourmet setting...w/fast food servers. they opened 2 wks ago, so they're still working out the kinks, but the service was bad. she was sweet but incompetent & failed to refresh our drinks. when we asked for a wine list, they hadn't printed any since still finalizing their choices, so she told us what types of wine they had. we wanted to know which vintages (just brands, not years), so she went to the bar & wrote a handwritten list. y didn't mgmt do that earlier? my friend said she'd just have ketel one on the rocks, & the server asked "what kind of wine did u want again?" we're like, it's vodka. OVERALL: the setting is so nice & comfortable that i'd definitely go again to try more things. i think this place is gonna do really well.

    A little pricey, but the proportions make up for it. Mac 24-7 is located inside the New Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel - you have to walk up the steps and in past the lobby to get to it. 5-6 flat screens line the walls behind the bar with sports and news on all the time. We haven't tried them yet, but the pancakes are epic in size! Kevin had their huge bowl of Mac n' cheese is awesome and I loved the chicken and waffles. The Mac n' cheese is a four cheese blend with breadcrumbs browned on top. The chicken and waffles here are so great. It's two huge pieces of chicken and a savory waffle with bits of corn in the batter.

    This place really suprises and really satisfy me. One thing that suprises me is their gigantic four pound pancake. Thats the biggest pancake I ever seen and they are very delcious.

    Me and my boyfriend decided to try this place after hearing a lot about it. We went there on a Saturday night around 10 or 11 and it was pretty empty. We waited for about 15 minutes before somebody came to take our drink order. Nobody brought us water before or even after we ordered drinks. My lava flow was sitting on the bar for like 10 minutes and I kept praying that the 5 workers who kept walking by it would notice it melting and bring it out to me...but nobody did. So my bf went up to the counter and had to tell someone to bring it out. I ordered the blueberry pancakes which were ridiculously huge. They were also burnt on the outside and very tough throughout. I felt like puking after I tried to eat one pancake. We had really poor service..I think our waitress couldnt really speak English. All in all it was a horrible experience and I wont ever go back there. Oh and you have to get your car valeted which is usually not a problem for me until I saw them almost scrape one of the cars alongside a wall and then one of them saying they didnt know how to drive stick. No wonder its free.

    As my boyfriend and I were staying at the Hilton Waikiki Beach where Mac 24/7 is located, my boyfriend and I ate/drank here a number of times throughout our stay. Our first experience was right after we checked into the hotel. We had just come arrived in Hawaii after approximately 14 hours of traveling (5 hour layover in LA) with very little food. As we weren't meeting friends for a late dinner we decided to stop in for the first drinks of vacation and some appetizers to tie us over. Another perk was that because we were staying a week at the hotel we were given vouchers for free drinks! Our bartender was Karin - she was friendly and easy to talk to. In fact, she was our bartender for the bulk of our visits here! Anyway, back to the drinks...my boyfriend, per his usual, ordered a beer and I ordered the Lychee Martini. Let me just say, WOW. The Lychee Martini was perfect - you could really taste the lychee in the drink and it wasn't overly sweet. For our appetizers, we ordered the Hawaiian-inspired Vietnamese roll and the Pan-Asian Wings. They both arrived quite quickly, possibly because it wasn't a busy night when we arrived. Both were fresh out of the fryer/oven (most likely fryer though) and tasted divine. Probably because we were both starving and in desperate need of food. Our next couple of visits included orders of the Kale & Beet Salad, the Loco Moco, and the Mac-cano Eruption (which was only $9 since we had a Yelp check-in deal). Everything came out quickly and was delicious. Although it is possible that I ate the garnish on the salad...it's really hard to say. The gravy on the Loco Moco was so yummy - my boyfriend ate most of the food before I had a chance to taste much beyond the rice and gravy in fact. Now, the best thing to say about the Mac-cano Eruption was that....IT WAS ON FIRE!! Of course, that's part of the fun. We were always well taken care of and didn't have to wait for our food to arrive. Overall a good experience for us, but its possible that we never had a problem because we always ended up sitting down during off hours. I don't think we ever fully adjusted to Hawaii time from Central/Mountain time zones. I do have to say that the prices seemed high to me, but that's probably due to the tourism that drives a lot of the restaurant's business. The price of the drinks weren't too different from what I've encountered in San Francisco and Los Angeles. If you check-in to the hotel and really don't want to go far to eat or order room-service this is a decent place to go. And, hey, if you go during off hours service will be amazing. Everyone is friendly and the bartenders were fun to talk to when they aren't busy making drinks.

    After breakfast, I left as a very happy customer. But I have to admit, I was a lil "hangry" (hungry + angry) at first. If you're looking to eat right away, you may want to reconsider. On Monday (Labor Day holiday) at 10am, our wait time to get a table was 30 mins. The hotel has ample seating in the lobby, so that was very accommodating. I received a text once the table was ready. Once seated, we waited a good 15 mins before our waitress greeted us and took our order. The wait time for our food was at least another 30 mins. Our waitress knew it was taking a long time and apologized for the delay. She ended up giving us each a complimentary bowl of fruit (cantaloupe, pineapple & blueberries). That was nice. So after a good hour, we were ready to devour our entrees. I ordered the Eggs Benedict plus a side of Mac n Cheese (which did not appear on the menu, but I took a chance and asked if they were serving it). One egg was a little over cooked, but overall it was so flavorful and delicious. It must have been the butter used on the English muffin and in the sauce (just like everything is good with bacon, everything's great with butter!). The hollandaise sauce was very well prepared. It did not smother the muffins either, so they remained nicely toasted. The potatoes were excellent; very soft, not dry and great with the ketchup. Overall, the Eggs Benedict plate was nicely constructed and I would order it again! The side of Mac N Cheese was such a nice compliment to the meal. I kept going back and forth between my two dishes. Macaroni shells were used. The white cheese was creamy, not too salty, and baked to perfection. Finally, topped off with orange colored breadcrumbs (reminded me of crushed goldfish crackers) and an orchid. It was great! Modern decor and a lovely garden just outside the window made for a nice ambiance. The hostess and waitress both did their job well, providing great customer service. I'd love to come back for lunch and dinner, but will have to make sure I'm not already starved when I check-in. As far as parking, use the hotel valet service and let your server know. Pay $3 at the restaurant, valid for 3 hours. One more thing! We assumed this restaurant was inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village (off of Ala Moana). It's not! It is located near the Honolulu Zoo (Kuhio Ave).

    We went to Mac 24/7 while my mom was here on vacation. She is a huge fan of food network and has seen this restaurant featured on man vs. good for their pancake challenge. We had very high expectations, and the food was great... However the service we received really put a buzz kill on our visit. We all ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The waitress (wish I could remember her name) came and took our order, very impatiently... She brought us our food, and that was the last we saw of her. The food was really good and the pancakes did not disappoint. Another server (a man) brought us our check about an hour later after we flagged him down. I could understand this kind of service if we had been very busy... But it wasn't...

    What? I've been here at least a dozen times and no review?!? I love Mac 24/7! My daughter's 16th birthday was held here because she loved it so much! So my review is going to be an overview of the 12 times I've been here. *Note - If you check in with Yelp, there is a 50% off the Mac-Cano Eruption drink. Parking for this place is one of the reasons it doesn't get 5 stars from me. You have to valet your car or find street parking. In Waikiki. I have no patience. And if valet is full because of an event, you have to go find somewhere else to park. Sucks when you are jonsing on their Loco Moco with Jasmine Rice. (Valet parking is $3, you pay when you pay your food bill. Make sure to give your valet ticket to your server.) Atmosphere is very casual. I find it cold in the restaurant, so I always bring a jacket. I've seen the place busy, but never entirely full. There are 2 sides to the restaurant. There is a bar side with booths, and the garden side that has tables and booths. Our family usually eats on the garden side on a high table in front of one of the tvs. Service can be slow, but I am not sure if it is the wait staff or the kitchen. There are times when our food comes out and other times it takes forever (and no one in in the restaurant). My favorite food is a toss up between the Loco Moco or the Eggs Benedict. The Loco Moco is served with jasmine rice with is a really nice touch. But the beauty of it is the gravy. It is de-li-cious! Sometimes, I could just take the gravy and rice. Never mind the rest! Eggs Benedict is a sore point for me. I am on the HUNT for the perfect Eggs Benedict, so if anyone of you want to help me out & tell me where to go, PLEASE do!!!! Their Eggs Benedict has a great hollandaise sauce that is just perfect. The Mac-n-Cheese with bacon is good. You have options to get it with bacon or lobster and other things that I can't remember, but with lobster or bacon, I stopped looking. I guess I am a creature of habit when it comes to this place, always buying the same things. Since I now know this, maybe I will expand when I visit for the 13th time!

    Hmmm if you like pancakes..... Wait I mean love pancakes, like BIG pancakes as in pancakes for DAYS then come on over. Been here a couple of times to try their other foods besides pancakes and food is just okay. Seemed a little bit pricey for what you get. We just couldn't believe their chantilly waffles w/ strawberries were $15 and it tasted like a regular waffle. Service also tends to be on the slower side and it wasn't even busy the last couple times we went.

    By far the best breakfast I've had in Hawaii so far... Called in a order around 2 AM, was ready in twenty mins. Location was easy to find. Upon pick up we were informed that everything we needed would be in the bag. Returned to the room, they did a excellent job with pack the food& utensils. Napkins were nice & thick for the messy syrup. Pancakes were thick & yummy. Pancakes were nice and moist, just add a little butter & you're go to go.

    We live a couple of blocks from Mac, so we've eaten here a dozen times. We've had some weird service and mediocre food but I think because we came at a busy time. Sometimes the wait can be kinda long but just ask for a booth, order a drink and relax. Today was especially wonderful. We came in about 2:30 on a Sunday. It was our breakfast because my life is just that awesome. We asked for a booth and was seated immediately. I've been craving there cappuccino. When I first tried their cappuccino I had just gotten back from a trip to Italy and Mac's cappuccino was just as good. I like to add two packs of sugar. My husband found a newspaper on a counter and we sat and read and enjoyed the natural light from the serene garden. My steak and eggs with rye toast and potatoes were great. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The potatoes are always lightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. My husband's biscuits and gravy were delectable. I love the fried chicken and waffles because the house made gravy is so good. The dish came with two fluffy biscuits, smothered in that awesome gravy and Portuguese sausage. A hefty heap of scrambled eggs sat on top. What a wonderful brunch. Just really relaxing and enjoyable. Some of my other favorites are the meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and fried chicken and waffles. They also have nightly entertainment from 6-9 in the lobby lounge of the hotel. Although it's fine to have dinner at Mac I think sitting in the room with the garden view during the day is very relaxing.

    We were seated quickly, the food was superb and the portions were huge so make sure you share! I only gave this four stars because the valet took too long for me to get my car

    I liked the Mac 24/7 at the Hilton Waikiki Beach! The food is good! I had the chicken fried steak and eggs and it was bomb! Obviously the drinks are awesome! My favorite is the Blue Hawaiian on happy hour for $6! The Mac Cano drink the huge one, is delicious! I checked in on here and I got a 50% discount off this drink! They set it on fire of course it's awesome! But share it unless you wanna get crunk! They even send you home with a souvenir glass!

    This is is breakfast place (as well as other entrees) and as such has the BIG stuff to choose from, by that I mean the orders are LARGE, and filling. The red velvet pancakes were what my daughter ordered and it was HUGE! It was red but I didn't really get the RED velvet taste, although I'm not sure what I should have expected! I guess I was stuck on red velvet CAKE taste in my head. I had the eggs benedict, not spectacular but good, also ordered the caesar salad just because we're fans of this and always curious to know how they prepare it, and the spaghetti, just ok in my opinion. I'm doing this review at a later and I may have to come back and add/edit.

  • Hung N.

    This is a great place to go...only place we were able to find some white gravy (or even sausage gravy). I love southern food and of course I had to try the chicken and waffles. The menu says it's a traditional chicken and waffles but it's really not...it's more Asian fusion chicken and waffles. The chicken and the waffles were cooked well and it was actually quite nice when you took a bite of the peppers and pickles jalepenos. The waitress we had made the experience very enjoyable.

    OH SO GOOD! Was visiting from Arizona and tried this 24 hour spot out! I wish we would have discovered it sooner because we could have gone there a couple more times on our trip. The decor was cute and the food was delicious! And they serve the full menu (breakfast/lunch/dinner) all day everyday! I had the Kalbi with eggs and my husband had the combo dish with chicken, kalbi, and ahi with fried rice. Oh and the mac and cheese was pretty darn good and huge! I will DEF be back!

  • Jon E.

    Food was good. I ate here twice, once for breakfast and again for dinner. My dinner meal was bland, unfortunately. I ordered the cheeseburger with spam and a fried egg on top. The meat was overcooked, almost burnt and so was the spam - I could barely taste either (except for the burned taste of the meat). Breakfast on the other hand, was delicious. I had the MAC attack which came with eggs, bacon, sausage, roasted potatoes, and a side of blueberry/vanilla glazed pancakes. The pancakes were definitely the highlight. Light & fluffy with no need for syrup. Some of the best I ever had. Verdict: Breakfast menu was excellent and it's served all day so you don't need to be here early. Would have rated 4 stars if it's wasn't for the bland meal. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area.

    The food and service was absolutely amazing!!!! Kandle is one of the best waitress that I have ever encountered while on my 5 day trip to Honolulu. She was an energetic, friendly, and an absolute treat. My food was the best food I have ever eaten at a great price for the quality of food. When I return to Honolulu I will definitely be returning.

  • Jack W.

    The breakfast buffet features fruit, pastries, scrambled eggs, rice, potatoes, bacon, Portuguese sausage, French toast, pancakes and toppings, oatmeal, cereals, made-to-order omelets, and a beverage for $25. It's okay - pretty standard fare but pricey considering the French toast is hard (from sitting on the buffet for too long), the omelet happened to be over cooked, and competition nearby (e.g. Duke's and Jimmy Buffett's) feature the same or better for much less ($15-$17).

    My slippah broke 2 second before entering and a host manger 6foot5 decided I couldn't come in unless I put them back on and limped to my table. He was unsympathetic and had the nerve to table touch all but our table. Waitress was great Host manager BIAS As a avid generous reviewer I'll never return

  • Chas A.

    I love eating here because they are open 24 hrs and serve delicious food. I loooove their calamari & shrimp appetizer & their cherry lime rickety. My boyfriend & I made a reservation because we knew it would take about 20-30 minutes wait. It's funny because when we go in, there's a lot of tables open for guests so I don't know why there's a long wait. Some of their food changed since couple years ago. I ordered Mac-Aloha with hulihuli chicken, kalbi, and ahi with fried rice. I shared it with my boyfriend because it was too much to eat. Their kalbi and fried rice is so delicious but their ahi with wasabi is too strong. Their food prices are a little expensive but reasonable. Our server was so sweet and kind! And hostess is welcoming. Will be coming back again soon.

  • Sam N.

    We went simply because of the Mac Daddy challenge that we saw on TV! It was quiet, Service was attentive. The pancake was HUGE! My husband and I litterally has a quarter of the pancake together and that was it. One of the best pancakes we had! We felt bad for wasting so much food but the server told us they take it to feed the animals (?)

  • Ken U.

    Heard about this place from friends who watched Man V Food and was told to go and face the challenge. Wasn't planning to go but being knocked back from The Cheesecake Factory because they were closing at 11:00 pm, had meant I would need to find a late night dinner somewhere else. Thanks to Mac 24/7, I was able to score myself a 1/2 pound Angus cheeseburger washed down with a cocktail called a Frozen Mo'o. Cheeseburger was delicious, juicy and smokey flavoured patty. Definitely not the salty frozen beef patties you get elsewhere. Add two bacon strips and that's what you call my burger! The frozen mo'o ticked all the boxes being a humid night. A play on a classic mojito with the bartenders spin on it, I could easily knock back a few more. Definitely will be back to try the pancakes.

    So I have been coming here for 2 days. The 1st time was great I really enjoyed breakfast here. The 2nd time I waited almost a whole hour for my food during lunch and when the food came out it was not made the way I had requested and the bread was soggy. I don't recommend going here around 2P.M.

  • Cori P.

    I was staying in the hotel so it was the easiest for me to grab breakfast here before heading out for the day. First off, it's pretty expensive just for breakfast. Granted, the portions are large but still....I've found other places that are much cheaper and have good quality food. Service was good, everyone was very friendly.

  • Karolyne G.

    My first visit was a great experience. We had a nice quiet waiter, wish I remembered his name. He was on it and very helpful. Because of this experience, my girlfriend and I decided to have an all girls luncheon for our friends. There was also another waitress that was a great help, although not our waitress. Three days later, I was back with another girlfriend for a late brunch. We had a wonderful waitress, Mona. She was so helpful and friendly. The food and service was great on this visit. I would recommend this place to my friends. I had the Mac Attack which to me is a great deal since you get a little of everything..I love the potatoes. I wish Mona worked more often because my third experience in 2 weeks was not as great. The waitress did not bring butter or jelly for toast and only filled half the table's water. When I asked for more water for myself and the other host, she got an attitude and decided to just leave the water jug by us. Yes, I know it is difficult tending to large parties (8 adults and 6 children 8-13 years of age) but everyone noticied the attitude. Also, the eggs were not cooked correctly, which of course is not her fault, but she didn't offer to take them back! I had to ask for mine to be re-done but my other friend just didn't eat hers because it wasn't to her request. When she mentioned how it was cooked wrong, the waitress just said that is how she asked for it to be made, not offering to remake them. Even though the service wasn't the greatest, I still gave the waitress a gift that I passed out to all our guests as well as cookies. I will go back with other friends, because I do like the food as well as the atmosphere.

    After seeing man vs food review of the huge Mac 24/7 pancake challenge I was completely persuaded to go check this place out and although the place was high end (Pam) the waiter made me and my friends feel completely at home while accommodating our needs with a smile! Not to mention this place was clean & neat ! When we arrived there we didn't have a reservation 10 guest but they sat us right away. Everything on the menu sounded really good and they had a variety of food from loco to just good o comfort food. The prices were a little high but not high enough to break your pockets. We ended up getting fried chicken and waffles and a order of the Mac daddy challenge blueberry pancakes that pancakes were fluffy and buttery it was delicious not to mention that although we didn't finish it and she allowed us to take it home in a big care package ! Definitely a place to try out !

  • Lily L.

    This is one of the only places to get great food in Waikiki late after everything has closed. It's very laid back with a chic atmosphere, hidden in the lobby of the Hilton hotel. Only thing I don't like is that I'm a bar person and the stools rotate but don't move, putting a big gap between me and my midnight lover. (But there are booths if that's more your style) Everything on their menu is pretty tasty & good quality. A must for me is the Mac and cheese!

  • Crystal L.

    The pancakes were excellent. The service was mediocre. We ordered the rock shrimp and calamari appetizer and the calamari was chewy. We also had the chicken fried steak and eggs with potatoes, it was fine except the white gravy was sausage gravy, yuck. Also be aware if you were to order their pancake challenge it costs $24 and there is a $2.50 charge per person to share.

  • Jessica-Nicole U.

    This is my favorite "after hours" restaurant to hit up. Probably the classiest 24/7 restaurant out there. So if you're planning on hitting up the scene for someone's birthday, anniversary, etc.... definitely hit this spot up for the late night craves. The prices are higher than fast food and zippys for sure, but it's reasonable and well worth it for the ambiance and everything else. The size of the plate is perfect as well. Some plates are HUGE and can even fill two people up. You're looking at average of $15-$25 a plate. Not bad for what you get. Their new menu is great! They now have a gluten-free and vegan section. They even specify their grass-fed plates. They still have their popular plates, such as their mac aloha and pancakes. If you're up for a challenge, try the MAC DADDY PANCAKE CHALLENGE, popular from the famous "Man vs. Food" show. You have five different flavors to choose from but they're all delicious. Each $16, but not too bad. I had the ginger chicken salad off the gluten-free and vegan section of the menu. Loved it! I'm not really a salad person but I've been TRYING to eat clean, so whenever I try good salads, I make a note of it. Especially if it's healthier, organic, natural and/or gluten-free. My friend had the adobo chicken and hers was awesome as well. Very tasty! If you're looking for WARM, this is perfect. Mine tasted great but it wasn't a warm plate. We got here at about 2am and it wasn't super busy. We were accommodated right away for a party of 6. The Mac-cano is $18 but half off when you check into yelp. It's amazing! It would be ideal to share it, this thing is HUGE. Try it but watch out as it is strong but tasty! I get buzzed on SIPS of it. Easily my favorite drink. Take home the cup! It's CUTE!

    Starving and jet lagged after traveling from one coast to another, we headed over for a very early breakfast at Mac 24/7. We enjoyed their steak and eggs, pancakes, coconut syrup, and guava lemonade so much that we ended up having breakfast here every single day during our trip to Oahu. We were pleased with the delicious food, huge portions, and friendly staff!

  • Guy L.

    Sat at the table for an hour. Served a single glass of water and a plate of bread. The waitress came by after 30 minutes and asked us what we had ordered, then disappeared and never came by the table again. Finally just walked out. Can't comment on the food because we never saw our our meal! I have some bad service at places in the past but this is the worse I have ever experienced.

    We came here for New Years Eve and it was pretty busy. We sat at the bar counter area and was serviced by Arielle. She was very attentive and kind. I give her a lot of credit because the restaurant was busy and she was multi-tasking like a champ. There was an Indian dude sitting near us complaining about not wanting a salad or something. He was giving Arielle a hard time but she was sweet and professional. Dude was cry baby on New Years. All the servers were busy. We checked out the buffet section but it was a bit too much to eat and digest at midnight. (the guy who drank coke)

  • Christey C.

    It was a quiet night, empty restaurant. Looooong wait for service. Took 20 minutes to get water and our order taken. I asked about a few dishes, and the server spoke so soft I couldn't even hear her, she was right next to me, wth. I ordered the chicken and waffles... the only thing I liked was the gravy.Hard, cold waffles, battered chicken, really oily. After we ate, we were waiting for 40 minutes, then finally our server walks in, and gives us the check. She forgot9t t0 add parking onto our tab, so it was another 5 minutes to get it updated. The tip recommendations on the bottom of the tab reflect the valet parking service, what a freaking joke. The server wants to be tipped on the parking, be aware of that. Never again. Update- I was dragged here last night by friends who said they'll change my mind about this place. And they succeeded! We sat at the bar, and instead of ordering their 0ver priced entrees, we stuck to appetizers, which were waaay better than those chicken and waffles I ordered before. My tip is to sit at the bar, if you can. The restaurant side is not worth trying.

  • Jon B.

    My wife and I went here tonight for drinks and dessert. However, we ended up waiting 20 mins for a drink menu after sitting down (the server apologized). After waiting another 20 mins for the server to come back, we then decided to skip the drinks and get a bottle of wine in the hotel shop next door after dinner. The desserts came about about 15 mins after that (yes, a 45 min wait for two desserts). My banana cheesecake thing tasted like a reheated pastry with a scoop of generic ice cream. My wife's cookie with ice cream was slightly burnt and stuck to the plate. During our wait, another table ordered two iced teas before getting frustrated and leaving. Another table ended up sending back a chicken plate for some reason. There are way too many other options nearby to waste time on this place -- go elsewhere.

  • Darby S.

    It's nice that it's open 24/7 but the food was "ok" at best. I ordered a $25 plate, Mac-Aloha, that came out lukewarm. The ribs were tough to chew but again the worst of it was everything being almost cold. The potato soup was great. Spaghetti and meatballs didn't get any complaints. Reuben sandwich didn't get any complaints or praise. Pork sandwich was mediocre. I doubt I'd eat here again with so many other choices available.

    (3)

  • Stephanie T.

    I had the lobster sandwich. That's pretty good. The sizes are fairly big especially when you trying to up keep that beach body. They have a cool man vs food challenge there. I never tried it but when I come back this year I'll try it with my friends. I would go back for sure and I'm surprised how Clean it was for a 24 hour restaurant! Wish they had one in Vancouver BC!

  • Kenson K.

    I ate here for dinner during my stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. Service was good. I ordered the beef stew. A little skimpy on the beef, but flavor was good. I know its Waikiki so it was a bit overpriced. But adequate if you're too lazy to venture outside of the hotel to eat.

  • Crysta L.

    Aaaaaannnddd...there it is. Went back for a late dinner the other night on my own since I wasn't into a cheeseburger for dinner. And let's be honest - I REALLY liked them for breakfast. Their dinner was weak. I had the beet and kale salad and the gnocchi. Didn't feel the value vs quality of food was near worth it. Bartenders weren't real friendly at all on top of it. The gnocchi wasn't gnocchi - it was almost like a hard disc of dough. Nowhere near what a gnocchi should be, far from it. Beet and kale salad had some redeeming qualities - who knew pineapple and beets could pair well together? The goat cheese mini balls with it were also good. Too much kale not enough beet ratio for me though and I LOVE KALE. The gnocchi dish was a huge miss. Way too expensive for what I had.

    Update: Went here last night since I knew this place was 24 hours - and prior to that we tried going to 2 other spots which ended up closing early for night unexpectedly! So this place really saved us! I first went here a few years ago and had an OK experience here. But last night was different. Our waitress was really sweet and nice - food came out fast and she also boxed it up since we didn't eat much of it. Ordered the potato soup -( just needed something different since all we have been eating was plate lunches) : one of the best potato soups I've had! Thick and with bacon and cheese! And it's actually bigger than you would think. I also ordered some chicken which was not bad - didn't really care for the sauce, but the chicken itself was fried well. The mr. Ordered the Mac n cheese with bacon and truffle oil. That was good! If you are looking for a place at late night- come here! That's the only time I would come back. My first review was 3 stars - I would rate this visit 3.5 - 4. I rounded it. So to even it out about less than 4 stars.

  • Liz M.

    This place is pricey, but has great breakfast selections even in the evening time. Pancakes sausage, eggs over easy with bacon, is definitely food coma. My friend tried to convince me to try the pancake (size of a large pizza pan) amongst us two, but then again I told him we'd probably need a taxi afterwards because I won't be able to walk after that. Try it once and see what you think. To each is own. I liked it.

    (4)

  • Jan S.

    You know their food totally hits the spot after a night of parting but the heavy-set woman/hostess is just horrible! I'm staying at the hotel so I guess I can deal with it but she's just a bitter person with no social skills. Bartender is awesome though so they get 3 stars just for her. In the end this isn't the place you go to eat at unless you've been up all night:)

    Super convenient location since it's the same hotel I was staying in :) I remember seeing this place on Man vs Food and I had ZERO interest in the pancake challenge. So a bit of advice, if you want pancakes and you have kids ... order the challenge, it will serve an army! My favorite specialty pancake was the Elvis... it was soooo good my wife and I came back a few days later so she could get some. LOL I went for the Mac Attack which was 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, and potatoes and pancakes. It's a great place for breakfast. I have no idea what lunch and dinner is like.

  • Stanley L.

    Being a guest at the Hilton Waikki Beach Hotel this was the go to place for food for us. Of course the fact that it was open 24/7 is the highlight. I had to say that I loved eating here and actually looked forward to it. I had a first here the Kalbi beef which I have to say was the best tasting beef that I've had ever. It is a unique taste that I've never gotten anywhere else in the world. The service was alright. Seated properly. But I will warn you that late night/early morning it does slow down only because the sheer volume of people.

    I kind of expected more out of a place that has been featured on travel channel. I ordered the mac attack with the banana fosters pancakes. My cup had dried up lipstick stain on it. The only thing that was really good on my plate was the bacon and potatoes. The pancake, which they're known for, honestly was nothing special to me but overly sweet.

  • Gregory K.

    The pancakes are the thing here. So very good and sweet we had them for dessert. My kids loved the mac'n'cheese and I had traditional dishes that were high in protein, flavor, cholesterol and calories! I would consider this a very high end diner and it is worth the price. Not the best choice for fresh fish but good food over all.

    Made open table rez, arrived early, seated promptly by friendly hostess. The place is clean with a nice mod vibe. Started off with some drinks, pretty good. Our server was pleasant. Food was ok, I wouldn't expect ok from an award winning chef though. The calamari app uses the wrong breading, so it soaks up too much oil. The Hawaiian plate was greasy. The tomato basil soup with grilled cheese was good. No pre-bus of the dirty plates, which drives me crazy, especially when the cost is $100 with tip and valet. Not a good value for the food quality that we ordered.

    I have been to MAC 24/7 a couple of times and it is just alright. I think this place is considered to be popular because they serve giant pancakes. Other than that, the quality of the food isn't great. Most of the meals, aside from the pancakes, tend to be really salty. I will say that the service we received was pretty good, but it doesn't make up for the high prices. I would prefer to go to some of the smaller places around town and pay less for a better meal. I was with a large party and we all seemed to be alright with our selections. I ordered the chicken-fried steak with eggs and it was really salty. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles after seeing the photos on Yelp. Well, what he received was nothing like the photos on Yelp. He instead, received a waffle that was broken up into quarters and he did not get proper chicken pieces like the wings, thighs and drumsticks pictured on Yelp. He got chicken tenders instead. If we come back, we would not order the chicken and waffles again. We were pretty disappointed in that dish. In short, MAC 24/7 is good to visit late-night when there aren't many options available. Portions are generous, so feel free to share your dish.

    I think the only reason I keep coming back to this place is for two reasons: their alcohol and the fact that they give you cute jelly in a jar with your toast. I've been to this place a few times and every time I come here the service is just OK. I mean, the servers are very friendly, but sometimes they don't give you the attention that you deserve (I know, it sounds like I'm being a needy girlfriend haha). However, my friends and I did wait almost fifteen minutes before the server asked us if we wanted our check. In between that time he wasn't there and when we tried to get his attention, he was too busy helping a different table to notice us trying to ask for something. Dont get me wrong, though, he was a great server with a great personality, but time management between all guests are important as well. We felt neglected.

    You know, I was taken on a date here many years ago, and loved it. So I brought my friends here a few days ago for breakfast, and it was quite nice. My friend's loco moco was delicious, my other friend's kalbi was amazing. I ordered the Elvis pancakes because they sounded amazing, and I was a bit disappointed. But you know what, I'm willing to cut some slack for that because I'm not that big of a pancake guy, so it was really my fault for ordering against my instincts. But then last night happened. We went in for dinner, and it was a bit of a disaster. Our server was quite nice, but after ten minutes the televisions turned on (the Oscars) and the volume seemed maxed out. WAY beyond sports bar level of high. We asked three people if they could turn it down, and it never happened. The vibe went from mellow and loungey (perfect) to a TGIFridays in middle America quick. Our food arrived, and it was mostly mediocre. Until my friend bit into his chicken. Absolutely raw inside. Blood ran out. He sent it back and the server was apologetic. It came back in ten minutes, and it was the SAME PIECE OF CHICKEN reheated. I grew up in the restaurant industry, folks, and that's just not done. My parents would have fired a cook who tried that. My friend was literally so disgusted by biting into undercooked chicken that he excused himself and got sick in the men's room. And again during the walk home. The manager came to our table and offered to comp us dessert, and we weren't interested. She was insistent almost to the point of bothering us. We just weren't hungry anymore. Then we were asked if we wanted to box up the chicken to go. (What!?). Then we were asked again if we wanted dessert, on the house. NO. We left pretty furious. Accidents happen in the kitchen, but when a customer is throwing up in the bathroom, you have to do a Hell of a lot better than offering something the table doesn't want and then walking away. Seriously, the cook completely botched the meal, and the customer service in handling the mess was really underwhelming. None of the six of us will ever go back.

    2.5 stars Pros: Open 24 hours! Fancy hotel and restaurant. (I bookmarked the hotel because its soo nice) Pizza! (Yummy) Calamari! Cons: Herb crusted mahi unfortunately wasnt good, it has a weird tasting basmati rice. But the 2 shrimp it came with were good. Beef stew, eh. Fake Sriracha sauce haha. I would come here again just because its good to have a late night dining option after the bars in Waiks. I would get the calamari and the pizza again. From the reviews i should have tried the pancakes.

  • T.ess S.

    Great service and great food! I just wished we knew how big the portions were. Yelp check in gets you half off their Eruption drink, which is enough for 2-3ppl, IMO. It got my husband tipsy at 10am, but it's ok cuz we're on vacation, right?! I got their pancakes with eggs and their potatoes, which were yummy!! Hubby was craving steak and eggs and he got just that. It was delicious and moist. Kids got chicken and waffles and chicken fried steak. The chicken didn't have much flavor but she enjoyed the waffles. Chicken fried steak had good flavor and bite to it. Would definitely come again, but this time to share a plate.

    Came to Mac 24/7 tonight and glad to know there's a restaurant that is actually open 24/7. Wasn't too impressed on the food tonight. I ordered the MAC Loco Moco, expecting it to be delectable. I asked for my burger to be medium rare, I wanted my eggs to be sunny side up. Hoping that my eggs will be a little less cooked for the yoke to flow down my meal. But other than my thoughts, my burger was dry and my egg yokes were cooked through. Not impressed. I think lnl or zippys loco Moco is a lot better and delightful.

    The food is decent...but the service is almost non existent. We had our fantasy football draft here and got the private room. The room was super pimp and we were excited for the $3 beer specials and10% off food. What they didn't tell us is that we were limited to the amount of beer they stocked in the tiny fridge in the room. So they ended up running out of Bud Light and we had to switch to Budweiser or some kind of Cider to get the $3 price. Our server kept telling us that they were out of Bud Light, which is not true because they serve it right outside in the bar which we could see from our room. If they're going to limit the amount of $3 beers you can purchase they should at least let you know and not say that they're sold out. It took forever to get anything from our server and he would disappear for 20 minutes at a time. I ordered the fried short rib bites and they didn't come for 45 minutes so I asked him if he remembered that I ordered them and he said it's the kitchen's fault because they were changing out the fry oil. It was 630pm...peak dinner time so I'm guessing that he just forgot to put the order in because I don't know any kitchen that would change their oil in the middle of a dinner service. We ordered a few more beers but he didn't come back for 20 minutes so we just asked for the check and paid without getting them. It's too bad because we really liked the private room and the food for our draft party but we wont be returning because of the service.

    I have to eat gluten free so I was happy to hear of a place that had gluten free pancakes and other options. They have great breakfasts and the pancakes are delicious (and humongous!). However, there aren't too many gluten free lunch or dinner options. I did have some kalua pig that was pretty good. The waitress was very helpful but overworked and not great about checking back with us or bringing us more drinks. This places looks like a diner but in the back, there's a garden area that's very pretty. I don't think my husband was too thrilled with his lobster mac n' cheese, but he's very picky. So I would say it's a great breakfast or lunch place, but otherwise, not worth it. Or maybe good if you're staying nearby.

  • Erin T.

    I'm only giving them 3 stars because the service was so great. The food was bland, and boring. The lobster bacon sandwich was a lot of bread and lettuce with a few tiny clumps of lobster. The chicken wings were way too hot and lacking flavor. The guava drink was overly sweet. I love that they are open all day, but still don't think I would return unless I was starving.

    Went to this restaurant to try their pancakes on the recommendation of a friend. It is located in the Sheraton Waikiki. I am so happy I did.I had the Pineapple, Macadamia nut, and coconut pancakes. These pancakes were wonderful. They were fluffy, yummy goodness. They have other items but by far their pancakes are the best. I will definitely be going back. It is open 24/7 and serves all their menu items all day. If you aren't a guest, The parking is validated and you pay only $3.00. It is a must go to when on Oahu.

    Staying at the Hilton, coming down to get some eats was super convenient on our arrival and mornings. The menu has some very appealing offerings and fortunately/unfortunately we ate here more than anticipated. That's good the restaurant has some tasty eats to offer. Service was attentive and questions regarding my wife's food allergies were answered quickly. Our first night in we ordered the meatloaf. It came out in reasonable time but we soon discovered that it was not thoroughly heated. The meatloaf was coolish as were the crème fraiche mashed potatoes. These were sent back. The redo was fine though the potatoes were still not up to "hot" temps but warmish. Next morning I wanted to start with a heavier breakfast for a day of being tourist by ordering the kalbi and eggs. Spot on an excellent tasting meal. Wife doesn't eat a huge amount and that morning the server was accommodating to allow her to order the kids size pancake plate. She loved the pancakes! Fluffy, and a very smooth light pancake. I could see why some many others in the restaurant were ordering them. Other items: pulled pork sandwich, beef stew, teriyaki chicken plate, loco moco. And the loco moco was excellent. A huge portion but we split it so that was a just right size. One comment i have relates to the food timing in the kitchen. Several meals one of the side dishes was not up to temperature requiring the dish to be sent back. The meat loaf and a few sandwich combos where the french fries had cooled off. After we experienced this three separate times, I just didn't eat the fries and left them. The other is that they do not offer a smaller pancake offering between the kids size and "short stack". The short stack is very generous let alone the challenge selections of the mountain sized pancakes. Adults can't order the kid size. For her, the short stack is to much food. Overall, dining was enjoyable and the table staff pleasant. :) I believe the server was Dorthy... my wife's allergies (not food) were driving her crazy. She was coughing and her sinuses were plugged up. Dorthy commented that she looked to have Vog symptoms and explained what this was. We were very thankful she informed us. That was the one unfortunate side of the trip, we spent half the evenings at the hotel for the air conditioning to help in the respiratory issues she was experiencing. Big thanks to her.

    After having a different server from last time (this ones name is Dorothy - she's great!) we enjoyed our visit a lot more. The presentation of the food was also very nice tonight! Customer service definitely changes a customers experience at a restaurant. But there was still a mix up with payment at the very end, but that's definitely not the reason for my three stars. The three stars is for the amount of time it took to get our checks back to us (15-20 min) and for the very average tasting food at not average price.

    My wife had a craving for speghetti and meatballs and I wanted to try this place. The food was ok nothing special. We had to take it to go because it was Christmas Eve and the place is booked. I noticed the portions were on the smaller side for a $17 dollar plate of speghetti and meatballs. 3 small meatballs for $17 seems on the cheap side. I had the short ribs and they were good. Also not a huge meal but it was good. Cons: as I wanted for my food I sat at the bar and happened to over hear a conversation take place that just bothered me. A customer I am assuming a reg came in to drop off a gift for one of the chefs. This was a little after 7 and people were starting to file I for dinner. He asked for the chef and the manager Ashlea responded by saying "I don't have time for you right now....step aside and I will talk to you in 5 min". As someone who was in the customer service industry for many years that blew my mind. He stepped aside very kindly and waited till she came back. Approximately 10 min. She comes back and says the chef is not in and he asks if he could leave his gift. She acknowledges and he hands it over and says to her please be careful it's breakable. Ashlea responded with another insult. "Obviously it's a bottle". I thought well maybe he knows her but he then asked her name and she responded as she stormed off. Me and a group of people waiting all looked at each other and just thought what a b*tch. We know your busy and timing may have been off but the guy did nothing to provoke any of this!!! Because of her rudeness I take away a star from a 3 star place.

    Mac 24/7 was a strange mixture of things...had kind of a cool vibe inside of a hotel...we were in the bar area not the main dining room...good menu with a good variety. Great choices for kids as well. We had the vietnamese spring roll which was very tasty. I had the fish and chips which hit the spot although it was pretty greasy. Got it with onion rings which were really good as well...I assumed it would be greasy, what can you expect with fish n chips! Got the yelp check in drink special. really good but HUGE!!! def. one to share!

    What the heck? A very pissed queen met us at the door. There is no 'mac' don't even ask past normal hours. Our server was super rude and treated us like gum on shoe. The other 98%/of her time was spent angrily moping VERY loudly. I'm sorry Anita and the Mac 24/7 crew. You ate rude with a limited menu and horrible service. Good luck.

    This restaurant is a bit underrated. Maybe ive just been really lucky with my orders. also, the 3/4 times ive been here ive been a bit tipsy....BUT The portions are really big. Food is delicious. Service isn't excellent but I care more about food quality than service. I got the salmon Benedict here and it was delicious. I will say, a friend of mine ordered red velvet pancake and it tasted really greasy and bleh. Buttermilk pancakes are good here though.

    This review is only for breakfast, I've never had anything else there. The food is delicious. Pancakes, omelettes, all very good. Service is friendly, if not a bit slow at times (but that's more a Hawaii thing than anything else). The decor is nice and modern, not divey at all. They will validate valet parking for $3, which is a good deal for Waikiki. I think 3 stars is too low, hopefully this review will help bump it up.

    We went to Mac 24/7 last night for dinner. It's located inside the Hilton on Kuhio, right around the corner from the Waikiki Beach Marriott -- easily walkable if you're staying in the vicinity. When you walk in, you get a modern-style diner feel. There's a long counter on the left, and a series of straight and rounded booths on the right. I think there was additional dining in the back, but you'd have to round the corner to find out. The drink menu had beer, wine, and signature cocktails. Not a completely full bar, but they could make most items that you might want. I heard really good things about the restaurant, and we immediately proceeded to check-in on Yelp when we arrived (of course). They currently have a drink special going when you check in -- you get 50% off of an $18 cocktail called the Mac-cano Eruption. $18 sounds pricey, but it's a 32 ounce cocktail containing 151, guava puree and more -- the kind of drink that goes down smooth and creeps up on you when you least expect it. Plus, when they bring it out, the 151 is in a hulled out lime, and it's on fire. The drink is good, but I'd be impressed by the person who can finish one on their own. Three of us couldn't finish it. Our server was sweet and gave us really honest recommendations about various items on the menu. Always appreciated. I ended up going with the tomato basil soup to start, I ordered the grilled pork chop and asked to sub in the white macaroni and cheese instead of the mashed potatoes. The tomato basil soup was perfect. Just the right amount of cream, plenty of basil, and it was well SEASONED. Hearty, and they give you the option of ordering it with or without a grilled cheese sandwich. My grilled pork chop came out on top of mashed potatoes, but my server knew when she brought it out, and she said the kitchen was already working on the cheesy dish for me. The pork chop was flavorful, and came with a vegetable medley that included yellow and zucchini squash, carrots, purple cauliflower, etc. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and surrounded by a pork jus. The pork chop itself was just a little overcooked. Only complaint. The white cheddar mac and cheese came out in its own bowl, covered with shredded parmesan. They mix green peas into their mac and cheese, so beware if you don't like peas. I'm not sure if that's something you could order the dish without the peas. Either way, the dish was delicious -- gooey, creamy, nutty, cheesy goodness. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the peas added a little sweetness. Very tasty. They had an extensive dessert menu, but honestly, the servings are so big that we couldn't finish and had no room for anything sweet. Even my cup of coffee came in a giant mug (which I loved) -- a bold Kona blend. Yum. If you are a big dessert person, they had items like red velvet pancakes, a bananas Foster bread pudding, deep fried cheesecake and bananas, triple layer chocolate cake, chocolate lava cake, and more. I'm certain they were good. My friends said they had fried Snickers last time they were there. Definitely give them a try!

    The late night/graveyard shift is the best place to go. It's very quiet & they have an amazing customer service. I went with my hula brothers after practice & sure it was a little expensive but I tell you it's worth it because of the portions they give you. I had this waitress Dorothy & she was an angel. :) gotta come back again. Mahalo nui loa Dorthy!

    I had to redo this review.. And Yelp works, people.. Use it!! Mac24 changed their mac-n-cheese a while back.. I was DEVASTATED when this happen and wrote about (see below). Well I ended up meeting their executive chef at the yelp event last month and told him the same thing that was in my review. He explained that that changed because the old recipe was very simple and they trying to spice up their menu (I paraphrase). He told that they would make me the old recipe. All I had to do was let him know in advance, and they would make it for me! Talk about making a nobody feel important!! My eternal love for Mac24 has returned.. Its like everything taste so much better with the old mac-n-cheese. Their ingredients look and taste so fresh, and everything is presented very well. I left feeling so satisfied. Its kinda sad that their food makes me so happy. Lunch or breakfast is served all day, everyday. This trip I just got a bacon cheeseburger with fries, and a side of their old mac-n-cheese. The burger was perfect. The fries weren't oily, maybe they bake them(???)...And the old mac is oh so tasty, which I've made quiet clear. What I love ao much about it is that its not super rich, so eating it by itself is even amazing. It has peas mixed in with it, and its topped with bread crumbs.. My friend ordered an omelet and a blueberry banana(?) smoothie, which he loved. When we checked in on yelp we were given a 50% off coupon for a beast of a drink.. Mac-ano(?) something.. It was huge and really good. If you have not visited Mac24, do so. You will not regret it!!! ------------old 3 star review----------------- I really really liked this place... Then they changed the mac-n-cheese on me :/.. .CHANGE IT BACK!!! This place is a little pricey, but overall awesome and usually worth it. I've always enjoyed my dining here regardless how supercilious the wait staff can be at times. I went here last weekend specifically to remind myself how awesome they were so I could write them a good review, but I can't get over the fact that they changed my favorite thing on the menu. Dinner time I'd get whatever with a side of mac-n-cheese. Breakfast time I'd get eggs and pancakes, oh wait and a side of mac-n-cheese please. Drinking time, hey lets go get some mac-n-cheese!!

    Delicious food, but terrible customer service. We first had to wait 20 minutes to get seated even though we had reservations, then an extra 15 minutes to just get water!! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, but the customer service really killed it for me.

  • Ryno M.

    Got there about 1200a on 3/21. Went to the hostess stand with no other customers around. The asian hostess did not even acknowledge us. We stood there and she did not even look at us. Then all of a sudden people just walked in with her. We were like, weren't we first in line? Then we figured out there was a wait list, that's why they were going in but she didn't say anything so we didn't know. We stood there for 5 minutes wondering if we will ever be helped. Then another local hostess finally acknowledged us. She apologized and said even if it looked empty (there was no one in the bar section), they were having "technical difficulties" (whatever that means at a restaurant) and it would be about 5-10 minutes to be seated. So we just decided to leave. I've been wanting to try this place for years and when I finally made it down there, what a disappointment and I didn't even step inside the restaurant. My friend also wanted to try this place as she saw it on the food show. I'm probably never going to go there again. I'm a Hilton Honors member and actually considered staying at this hotel just to try the restaurant. I'm not going to anymore. That's why locals don't like going into Waikiki to eat because we're afraid of the disappointment after driving there, fighting traffic, parking, etc.

    This place has a nice modern feel. The service was good. Everyone was friendly and attentive. For my meal I ordered the Mac Attack with red velvet pancakes. It is quite the meal. You will leave full. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. You also get potatoes along with link sausage and bacon. I walked away full and happy.

    Came here for dinner 2x with different people and both times had mixed reviews from the table. We all ordered our own dish but because I dined w/ family and good friends we let each other sample our meal. Both times I ordered the rib-eye steak as I enjoy beef and they cook it very well. But when sampling the other food, they were so-so. The service here on both occasions were not that great. It seems that this place lacks the consistent traffic so I didn't see many wait staff on the floor. Had to hound the waiter several times for more water and because he had several tables to tend to, I felt bad for him as there should be more help. For dessert, I opted to order there ever so famous JUMBO pancakes instead of your usual ice cream, cake or pie. I mean, one plate of their pancakes can feed 10 people!!! I enjoyed their ELVIS - bananas, smoked bacon and peanut butter drizzle!!! Because I wanted the bacon to be still crispy, I asked the waiter to have them on the side. I heard they now have a new executive chef so I'm tempted to come here in the near future.

    I have eaten here before several times, and have been pretty happy. recently I took my girlfriend here for the first time as was pretty let down. It was late (around 1am) when we got there and really slow, and even with few people, service was really slow. The food was also fairly mediocre. She got bacon, eggs, and some potatoes, fairly straight forward and simple. The bacon was REALLY over done, like we didn't even finish it, and I never leave bacon on a plate. The eggs were runny (she asked for over medium, they were over easy), the potatoes were ok, just under seasoned. We also had a chocolate shake, which was ok, but pretty runny (the whole reason we went was to get a shake, food was an after thought). Overall I was disappointed by the trip, I could have gotten food from Zippy's which was better for half the cost. Hopefully next time it will be better, if there is a next time.

    The food was awesome. It took a long time for the food to come. The menu didn't mention bell peppers in the potatoes luckily my nephew spotted the before I ate them as I am highly allergic.

  • Darren R.

    I've been here a few times and it seems that service along with the food continues to slip in quality. Maybe the business is experiencing high turnover with their staff which is impacting both experience and training. The coffee is horrible, which maybe attributed to bad tasting water. The ambiance is loud. Music was loud, tourist kids were loud, the whole breakfast experience is ruined. If you want to spend $50 to have crap lukewarm coffee and a kid screaming at the table next to you so you are unable to hold a conversation... this is the place. If not, take your money elsewhere. Good luck with the valet at 1030 on a Sunday, that topped off the negative experience. It was a complete zoo.

    WOW!!! We need this in Las Vegas. The 7 cheese Mac and cheese was delicious. The calamari and shrimp along with the chicken and waffles and jalapeño corn fritters were equally delicious.

    Ordered food to go to bring up to our room. Asked for the corn fritters and was informed that they no longer offer this even though it's in the menu. Settled on the Reuben and the calamari appetizer. My husband came back up with the order complaining about how rude and dismissive the host was to him. Opened up the order and the Reuben was soggy. The appetizer had not even been included. I called and let them know it was missing but in hindsight I wish j had just canceled it. They sent the calamari up to our room and my husband and I took one bite each... Yuck! We placed it outside our door. Two stars instead of one because the fried pickle that came with the sandwich was good and hubs said the bartender was very friendly when he collected our order.

    Came for my 7 year anniversary because we went after our wedding and it was great. Sad to say it was not the same. Started off great with the Tempura Braised Short Rib appetizer which was very good but once the main course came it went down hill. My wife had the Mac n Cheese, the noodles were way over cooked and the sauce was broken making it super oily. I had the Lobster sandwich. Very dry. The bread was dry, cold and stale and way too big for the amount of lobster. No sauce or dressing on the sandwich. Came with some great Parmesan, Truffle oil fries though, very good. Not sure if ill be coming back... (also no more free valet - dinner was about $50 after they took off the Mac n Cheese.)

    I came here with a group of 9 on a reservation in the private party room. The atmosphere was great even though it was a 2 am reservation. Very neat, clean, modern. I liked the lighting in the back and the private room was jazzy. The room accommodates 20 for seating but room to add more. There was a buffet table in case you want to bring a cake or have a place for gifts and a flat screen 50 inch tv I guess to roll a movie or such. For starters I unlocked the checkin deal for a Mac-cano drink which was huge! I shared with my boyfriend and it was really tasty with just enough alcohol in. I sampled a friend drink who had a blended Mojito which also was good. Out waitress, Dorthy was the best. In fact I decided to host my party there and she will hopefully be my waitress. She was pleasant, accommodating and had an awesome attitude. For my meal I had the sweet potato gnocchi with pesto sauce. TO DIE FOR!!! Only thing I would ask is to lay off a tad of the olive oil in the pesto. The blend of pesto and sweet potato was a perfect blend to satisfy my sweet and salty craving. My friend had the pancakes...the best pancakes I have ever had in my life!moist, fluffy and a slight crispy outside. No syrup needed. Needless to say my party was very please with the service, facility, and food. I will be back.

    Never got in the place. Looked understaffed and there was no customer service at all. Sunday morning breakfast for folks on vacation and it appeared we all caught them off guard. Multiple empty seats at the bar and we were told to wait. I'll never bother again.

    Outstanding customer service! And EXTREME PORTIONS! food...EVEN BETTER! I was quite surprised that this place was rated as a 3 star...that's nowhere near the rank this place deserves...I went to this place as a last resort after a late night excursion just to find a place to eat and drink. If you're down for a late night feast I definitely suggest 24/7 macs

    Great place for late night breakfast and hungry humans. Lobby and restaurant interior is nice, and they have a "Hall of Fame Winners" for the Pancake Challenge. The Mac Daddy Pancake can be shared up to 2 guest, then $2.50 share charge for each additional person Parking ? - Valet or if you want to loose some calorie before eating... Ala Wai. Service ? Our server Santiago was a great server (from server to server)

    Went there last night with friends for a going away dinner. Was easy to get a large party reservation which we loved. Service was sub-par. Our waitress would take orders for half the party, leave and then take the other half of guest orders. So when our food came it others were left waiting for theirs to arrive. Some of us even finished eating before the rest of the food arrived. We order the chicken wings, they were deep fried with NO flavor. They don't even salt and pepper them! The edamame was the same, didn't have any flavor, needed some salt or soyu. The spinach salad lacked flavor as well and didn't have any dressing on it. Coconut prawns looked good but they ended up being over cooked and the prawns were cut into long strips. Would've been better if they kept them in their original form and then battered and fried. The French toast breakfast was a joke! You only get 1 French toast! Plate is loaded with the eggs, potatoes and breakfast meat. We won't be going back to say the least!

    Super friendly staff and awesome breakfast. Had the Mac Attack breakfast. Two pancakes, two bacon strips, two sausage, two eggs, and potatoes. Everything was awesome. Bacon was super salty but perfect with the pancakes. At $15 it's a bit pricey, but worth it at least once. Wifey had the Elvis Mac Daddy pancakes. They're insane! Tasty and huge! Her plate alone could feed four normal people. Three pancakes, each the size of a large pizza, covered in bacon, bananas, and peanut butter. Sounds strange, but tastes amazing. A must try for sure. Open 24 hours in the middle of Waikiki doesn't hurt either...

    I love Adam Richman and aside from Yelp I use his food travels to guide me on my hunger quest. So how serendipitous it was that our last hotel stay on my honeymoon happened to in the Hilton Waikiki where the restaurant is located. So of course it made sense that we had to have breakfast there. We ended up ordering the Bananas Foster Pancakes. No lying these things really are the size of a steering wheel. I have an appetite and so does my husband, but we just barely muscled through 2/3rds of it (I'm being generous here...it really was more like half). For being a food challenge worthy food I will have to say they don't skimp in the dish. These pancakes were super tasty. The pancake x 3 were still super fluffy and ours was drizzled with chocolate and topped with bananas. We were in a sugar coma after we had breakfast! Worth checking out for sure, but I definitely recommend bringing a few friends to partake in this feast.

    Hit and miss with service. More miss even when they r not busy. Decent view on garden side with big screen TVs. Bar side is yucky like old greasy diner and really loud. Had a couple of good meals and one good cup of coffee. The rest not so good. Potatoes have a huge amount of unnecessary gross grease pooled on plate. Seriously a turn off.

  • Shane J.

    I usually forego hotel restaurants because they are typically overpriced and lackluster in flavor. Out of convenience, I opted to stop here on the way back to the hotel I was staying at farther down the street. What a surprise! The shortrib appetizers were amazing and full of flavor. The island fish and chips were light and flaky without the slightest bit of grease. What I was most impressed by was the presentation. You can tell the kitchen staff takes pride in their work and I didn't have to break my per diem budget to figure that out!

    We were pointed here by a host from another restaurant. He said the food excellent and the portions are very large and can easily be split. He was right. We had 'guavalicious' cocktails. Very light and refreshing and not overly sweet. My husband had rib eye steak and it was overcooked, the waitress acted very quickly to rectify this. The replacement was very flavorful and render. I had a wonderful salad that had teriyaki chicken on top. We ordered the appetizer that won best taste and presentation two years. It was delicious and glad we ordered it. It was a pleasant experience -so on our last night we decided to go back for a late night breakfast. It was very so -so. The gravy on the loco moco tasted like it was food service . I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. The portion of chicken fried steak was massive but so salty I had to pick off most of the breading. I drank two glasses of water and wasn't half way through my meal. The Mac and Cheese that came as a side didn't have much flavor. Cold cheese sprinkled on top. And it never melted because the noodles were cold. The staff all very friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food.

  • Homayra J.

    Big portions and the food was delicious. We came here for breakfast and ordered an omelet, pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, and juice. I know that sounds kind of simple but it was very good and a lot of the times it's too easy to mess up. Obviously just like everything else in Hawaii the food is expensive but it's a very beautiful environment to look at while you eat and the service is friendly and efficient.

    Went to Mac 24/7 after seeing the Man vs Food Show. My son got a smaller portion of pancakes, while I and my other son had breakfast (eggs, bacon w/potatoes) and my wife a cheeseburger. The food was of good quality and the waitress was very nice. We only had to wait about 10 minutes to get seated. Vacation time period 8-4-2014 to 8-14-2014

    We have been back several times and the grass fed beef is still on menu. I am sorry but we just do not like the grassy taste of the product. However, we did enjoy the Kalbi Ribs not sure if that is local beef or not. We did not get that Grassy flavor. My wife and I felt a little better than last time but only beef we ordered was the Kalbi Ribs

    This place is great! Our waitress #Jennifer was wonderful. I have to say, she is probably one of the best waitress that I have had at MAC 24/7. I have been to this place so many times, but it never gets old. The food is delicious, the ambience is modern; but most of all the service is personable and excellent.

    I've been eagerly waiting to see what this restraunt had to offer. I've heard about this place thru the "Mac Daddy Challenge" and they placed top 3 places for the best MacNCheese on Oahu. We walk in and it wasn't as busy as I expected, maybe it was because it was 230 in the afternoon. As soon as we are seated, I hear a BUNCH of silverware & noise behind a curtain. I ignored it for about an hour. The prices? Are waaay too expensive BUT maybe the taste is there so I stir clear of the harsh judgement. Im ordering my food and Im recieving a semi-rude & semi-polite vibe from my waitress. Maybe she was having a bad day? Maybe her personality was that way? Maybe I was taking it wrong? So I tried my best not to let it blur my expectations of this place. Let the food talk for itself. Our food comes, we order Crispy Rock Shrimp & Calamari, Ceasar Salad, Angus Burger, Steak N Eggs & MacNCheese. I cant help but to notice that the top of the MacNCheese looks like it has a crusted top as if it was sitting out for 15mins before it was brought to our table. The steak looked extremely small for $19, it had a burnt char on it so bad that it couldn't be masked even with A1 sauce. The mashed potatos had this weird taste to it. The salad tasted average for $12 and the portion wasn't even that great. I am glad I got to experience this place for myself to form my own opinion. My experience here foodwise & servicewise was not anything close to what I expected & the food didn't wow me at all.

    I don't know how this place only has 3 stars! If you're a PANCAKE LOVER like me... definitely make sure you hit this place in Waikiki! The cinnamon streusel pancakes are to die for, and the banana foster flavor is yummy too! My friend got the 7-cheese mac and cheese and was blown away. This place also has top notch service! Love this place!

  • Rishard C.

    The service we had there was ok. Compared to other places in Hawaii it was downright slow, but it still wasn't bad. I was disappointed by the Angus cheesebueger. It had a giant description that lead me to believe I would be taken to flavor town. Instead it tasted like a cheeseburger I could make for myself. I also ordered it medium, but it was still a bit bloody. My wife ordered the Ruben which was a much better sandwhich. The parm fries and the onion rings were really good. All in all not a bad experience but not a good one either.

  • Po'u L.

    "Cat" our server was awesome. Very friendly, very attentive. The food was great... I had the rib eye steak medium rare and my fiancee had the braised short ribs which were both pretty excellent. The only down side was that the steak knife was real dull.

  • Brian C.

    Service is horrible. Food is way overpriced. Came in at midnight on a Thursday, ordered the Kalbi and Eggs and the "award winning" spam ramen. The food was alright, no better or worse than any other 24-hour joint. Ramen was too salty, but not a deal-breaker. But the Kalbi was $16 and the ramen was $17. If you want an extra scoop of rice like me, 4 bucks extra. What the fuck? Our server came by once to see if everything was ok. Then she never came back. I had to go to the host/supervisor to close out and get a to-go box. I spotted our server in the back doing sidework, which looked like it was to wipe down water spots on glasses...enough said. Go to Zippy's. Lesser of two evils.

    This was my second time eating at Mac. Both times it was late night so I have not had the full experience of the restaurant. This time around, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted! It seemed like the menu got better - or it could've been that I was that hungry and craving all sorts of things. I ended up getting the Mac Nut Crusted Mahi and it was AMAZING!!!! I wish I could've ordered more! My friend ordered the chicken friend steak and his looked good enough to eat off his plate. He didn't offer... Every restaurant I frequent, I tend to have one dish that I order every time. Mac 24/7 is going to break me of this. There are many things on the menu that I cannot wait to try! Okay, the perks. Location - I have been going to some of the clubs in the vicinity so on my sobering walk back to my car, this is very convenient to pop right in and have a great late night meal. Service - everyone is always attentive and our food usually comes out in a great timely manner. Food - what to eat, what to eat. I would like one of each, please! Bar - although I haven't ordered anything from the bar, it's nice to know that it is right at my fingertips when I choose to do so. Mac 24/7, you will become my go-to late-night stop.

    I'm giving this review 4 stars... 1. I tried the potato soup because my friend had raved about it and calls it "crack potato soup" -- because it's so addicting! I have to say, the soup was absolutely delicious - rich, creamy, flavorful! The only drawback... you don't get any type of crackers with the soup! You don't even get a roll! However, I was lucky because one waitress brought me four slices of bread, and the other waitress brought me their house-made croutons. That made the soup complete!!! Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with "just soup", and the soup is so delicious that it can stand alone...but you just need that little "crunch", ya know?! 2. My friends ate the Mac Daddy blueberry pancakes. OMG! HUUUUUGE! The two of them could only finish 1/4 of the dish! The pancakes were light, fluffy and chock-full of fresh blueberries! The vanilla glaze was much better than the plain maple syrup. 3. When we were seated, we waited a little over 5 minutes before anyone came over to say, "Boo." Mind you, the place wasn't crowded, as it was about 9 at night. However, when our waitress did come over, she was very friendly, helpful and nice. We weren't rushed...it was relaxing to just kick back and talk after having a good meal. 4. I did think some things were a bit pricey, but if you use the coupon from some of the tourist mags, the tab becomes somewhat less painful. (Mac Daddy blueberry pancakes, potato soup + valet parking = $28 with KauKau discount coupon) 5. Parking is valet only, and they tell you to validate your ticket at the restaurant. I was unaware that I would get charged $3.00 on the food bill! If I knew that, I would've looked a little harder for parking elsewhere! $3 + tip for valet... not bad for parking in Waikiki, but so much for the coupon that we used! I'm a bit surprised at some of the negative or less than favorable reviews. MAC 24/7 must have improved a bit since some of these reviews....food-wise. I'd go back for the food, but I sure as heck am not parking there!

    Absolutely wonderful! Went here when I was with my boyfriend in Hawaii after his deployment. The 7 cheese Mac really got my attention and I decided to try it! It was so wonderful!

    This is really sad. This has got to be my worst experience ever in my life coming here!!! First thing we walked in no greeting no anything!! Host walks in and said 10-15 minutes wait. Fine. Okay we will wait. STRIKE ONE waited 15 FCKING minutes for 4 tables that wasn't OCCUPIED!! STRIKE TWO we got sat down and no FCKING server for 10 minutes. The host had to come and take our order. Which was ANNOYING cause she had a monotone voice and a TIRED looking face. STRIKE THREE our server was the worst she took 10 minutes and doesn't ACKNOWLEDGE AT ALL!! She came by and just FCKING PUT DOWN OUR WATER! NO HI NO NOTHING. STRIKE FOUR we ordered couple of things like the TEA which came quick and HOT WATER. My friend said THANKYOU and again the HOST that brought the water NEVER SAY ANYTHING. IDK IF THEY ARE BUSY CLEANING THE FLOOR OR WHATEVER BUT ITS GOTTA BE THE WORST EXPERIENCE!! ITS UNPROFESSIONAL!! So apparently our server's name is ailina and the host was a MANAGER!! BOY WAS HER FACE NOT PLESEANT TO LOOK AT!!

    Personally, this was my 7th visit to this restaurant. Having been here before, I thought this would be the perfect place to eat my birthday dinner. We waited for our waitress for twenty minutes after we were seated. The place seemed to be vibrant with customers so I let that one slide. After taking our orders for beverages, she took ten minutes to bring us water; and forgot the other beverages! After taking our order, the food took about an hour to reach our table. I noticed she gave a look of realization that she forgot our table's order, and saw her rush off towards the kitchen; she came within a minute with our food. The food was undercooked, and we could not get her attention. She never, once, checked with us the entire time we ate about how our meal was; as is routine for most restaurants' wait staff to ask how the meal is around five minutes after the food arrives. After thirty minutes we got her attention, and she brought out a completely new egg to compensate for the undercooked egg she brought out initially. By then, I personally wanted to get out of there. We waited another twenty minutes for our bill, and another twenty minutes to get our bill back after paying the bill via card. We wanted to take a picture in front of the Mac 24/7 sign so we asked the hostesses at the front to take the picture for us. They were just talking to each other since there were no customers to help at the moment. However, she made us feel rushed in taking the picture. She did not give us a countdown and snapped the picture twice, and did not ask us if the picture was okay before rushing off to finish her conversation with the other hostess. How rude is that?! This is definitely the worst dining experience I have ever had! Unfortunately, this occasion was also my birthday. Having been embarrassed after speaking highly of this restaurant to my parents (whom I also dined with), it will be a very long time before I am a patron or speak good things about this restaurant again!

    Went here for breakfast. We didn't reserve so we had to wait a little. Good idea to make reservations on a Sunday as it does get busy. Worth the wait and service was exceptional! Had a few drinks to start the day! A lava flow and a oh Mai tai. Had steak and eggs and the rest of the family had pancakes and eggs. Cooked well no complaints!

    M24/7 rules. I usually come in here after a night surf around 3 or 4 in the morning. #1 is the food: good by mainland standards, or any standards. they've got a really competent chef. the decor is like a retro lounge on the moon; a nice reprieve from endless hawaiian kitsch. servers are super on-it. a few club kids and surf videos; kid of a funny mix. the "Mac Attack" for $16 might be the best value meal in all of Waikiki. 4 thick, high-quality strips of bacon! yum.

    I've heard that dining at MAC 24/7 is a unique experience and you definitely get what you pay for, thanks to the restaurant's larger-than-life portions. I have yet to go for breakfast, and I really want to one day, so I can taste the eatery's famed pancakes! Granted, some of these entrees can be pretty expensive ($22 for pancakes?!) but if you're sharing with a friend/with a small group of people, you're sure to get your money's worth. The only time I did go to MAC 24/7 was for lunch with my significant other ... and on a Friday for lunch, it wasn't crowded and we had a very pleasant dining experience. This was about three years ago, and I notice that the MAC 24/7 menu has changed somewhat since then. But, some of the entrees (and the dessert) we ordered are still on the menu. I still want to re-visit the eatery to try some of the new menu items and, of course, to experience the breakfast. But here's what I would recommend: "7 Cheese White Mac & Cheese": Creamy and savory, this mac 'n cheese dish was definitely a more gourmet take on the classical dish, but I enjoyed the variety of cheeses that were featured. The dish consisted of bleu, boursin, white cheddar, gouda, fontina, velveeta and mascarpone cheeses, and I especially liked the fact that some of my favorite cheeses--including bleu cheese and fontina--were include in the mix. The noodles were well done and I enjoyed every bite! Though this mac 'n cheese didn't feature any sort of breaded panko layer, I still would include it on my list of top 10 mac 'n cheeses to date. If you want something else as your entrée, this dish is great for sharing. "Devil's Food Peanut Butter Cup": While this dessert was bit too sweet for the boyfriend, I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, it might be one of my favorite desserts. This sweet treat reminds me of an overgrown whoopie pie (except you can't see the layer of filling). It features a rich, moist, round devil's food cake with a layer of peanut butter fudge frosting. Now, that strong peanut butter frosting makes this dessert phenomenal. I loved the moist, crumbly texture of the devil's food cake, but when paired with the peanut butter frosting, it was out of this world. "Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Combo": It doesn't look like this combo is part of the lunch menu anymore, which is a shame, because this grilled cheese was one of the best ones I've had. The boyfriend ordered this dish because I don't really tomato soup, but I did get a taste of his sandwich. The grilled white bread sandwich was cut up into fourths, with white Cheddar (and probably several other) cheeses oozing out of every piece. It was a savory, melted gooey entrée that I would have definitely ordered again if it was still available. "MAC Loco Moco": Though I wasn't into "Loco Moco" at the time I first visited MAC 24/7, my dining habits have evolved somewhat, and now, I would be more than happy to give this local creation a try. It features jasmine rice, homemade gravy and three eggs ... and the Jasmine rice alone is enough to convince me to try this dish. I would opt for light gravy/gravy on the side, and my eggs done over-easy. "Warm Chocolate Lava Cake": During my initial visit to MAC 24/7, we were torn between this dessert, the "Devil's Food Peanut Butter Cup" and the deep-fried snickers bar (that doesn't seem to be on the dessert menu anymore, either, but it was not available on that particular day, for some reason). But, as a molten cake connoisseur, I'm sure I would have been just as satisfied if we ordered this dessert. It features a warm, chocolate lava cake filled and topped with a creamy, dark chocolate frosting ... pure heaven for chocolate lovers like myself. "Pancakes": If I ever go to MAC 24/7 for breakfast, I would probably choose one of the pancakes, since those are my go-to breakfast indulgence. I would choose either the "Cinnamon Streusel with Vanilla Glaze" or the more extravagant "Elvis," featuring peanut butter, bacon and a banana drizzle. However, since I'm not super fond of bananas (unless they're dipped in chocolate), I would probably ask for the banana portion (if it's chunks) to be served on the side. The "Red Velvet Pancakes" (a cheaper alternative to the "Cinnamon Streusel" and "Elvis," which cost $22 each) also sound really good, and since I like the luscious, moist red velvet pancakes at Cinnamon's, I'm sure I would like the version at MAC 24/7 as well. Perhaps the "Cinnamon Streusel," "Elvis" and some of the other pancake flavors featured simply cost more because they were featured on "Man v. Food." Only the taste buds will tell, though, if these 'cakes live up to the hype. "Pecan Praline French Toast": Now, I love French toast ... and I love the "Pralines 'n Cream" ice cream flavor at Baskin-Robbins. This breakfast entrée features the best of both worlds, so if I happen to not be in the mood for pancakes, I would definitely love to try this French toast dish that's topped in cinnamon sugar.

    This is a great place for those late night munchies. Nice atmosphere although parking at the hotel is Valet only. Food is pretty good and service was fast o ce we were seated. They close off a portion of the restaurant for lake night so had a bit of a wait. Found this deal on yelp to get some humongous volcano cocktail, which I served flaming. Really nice presentation but the taste was not that great. Tasted like a really sweet Mai Tai. Overall, it was pretty good. Food & price wise, I would be just as happy at Zippy's, but this was a nice change of atmosphere. Not sure that I would go often, but definitely a must-try if you've never been. Nice portions on the food and home of the huge pancakes featured on Man vs. Food.

    Note: service is really, really slow. Also, I took Braden K's word for it and ordered the Loco Moco ... NOT EVEN that good. Ordered: 1. Loco Moco - gravy was too salty and ruined the entire meal. Burger was chewy and tough to eat. 2. Short Rib / Kalbi plate - this was REALLY good. MUST HAVE. Aside from the great short rib / kalbi ... my loco moco was not good at all. I drank 2 cup of water because it was so salty. The service was also really slow and the food took forever to come out. I didn't get why ... the restaurant was half EMPTY! Oh lastly ... the price's were steep for the food you get. I'm not gonna be back. Thanks though.

    Yesterday was one of my sisters' birthday, but we celebrated early on Sunday, 4/26/15. We hadn't been to MAC 24/7 for several years, and then I remembered why we never went back: THEIR SERVICE. The memory of our first visit came flooding back when we were sat in the opposite corner from where we once sat before. After these two visits, it seems like we were in the "forgotten corners" of the restaurant. The server was really nice, but we were there from 4pm to 6:45pm for an early dinner with the place practically empty (until later on in the evening). Even though there were 8 adults with 2 children, any other restaurant would NOT have taken nearly 3 hours to serve our party. The two children that are usually well behaved in restaurants both were getting restless and cranky because of the long service. It took 25 minutes to get our drinks alone! I finally had to get up at one point from the table after we were ALL done eating and look for our waiter to order our dessert and get our check. My mom works in the restaurant industry, so I know hunting down a server can be a rude gesture, but that's what it literally came down to to get our server to come back to our table. It was so ridiculous and what was supposed to be a nice dinner turned out to be a dragged out event just waiting for everything. Mind you, my family and I are not slow diners, people on our phones (until the end while waiting for our dessert and bill), or obnoxious patrons with people who can't make up their mind about what to eat. Some groups like to hang out and take their time, but I want to say that we were just an average group of people who were hungry and there to eat with good company--not have a business meeting or drinks where we don't want the server to bother us. We didn't even end up letting my sister open her presents until later when we went back to my mom's house because we all just wanted to get out of there. Anyway, I had a lobster BLT with sweet potato fries that came with a fried pickle. It was pretty good and had a nice amount of lobster in it. The roll was just a smidge too crunchy, but not bad overall. Their menu sounds so good and the portions are a little towards the generous side, but it seems to just miss the mark. My sister's steak and eggs were 'meh' according to her. And as much as the drink, dessert, and regular menu sounds appetizing where I'd like to come back and try other things, I am not betting on the "third time's a charm." Sorry, but it'll take more than paying for my meal for me to come back here. So unfortunate that I have to write this bad review because I at least hoped the food would win me over. :(

    We returned here a little over a year since our last visit. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant on an evening where town was crazy busy. Bad sign. We were seated promptly and the Server took our drink orders. We both choose the Basil Bloody Mary, great drink! For appetizers we tried the Short Rib bites and share the Baked Potato soup. Both were excellent. For entrees I choose the Mac Loco Moco and Wifey picked the Chicken Fried Steak. Here is where things went down hill quickly. Our Server, Jennifer was excellent and doing the best she could, but has to be tough with cooks who put out poor product. First, my Loco Moco was cold with way over cooked rubbery eggs on top. Kinda repulsive. Hamburger patty was a reheat, gravy was room temperature. Wifeys dish had eggs as well, same thing over cooked rubber eggs. Server was not around so we tried several times to get the attention of the young pretty Host. She did that thing people do in traffic, looked right at us and kept going. Twice, actually kinda rude the way she acted. Finally got the server to return the eggs to the rookie in the kitchen. If they offer dishes served with eggs, they should ensure they know how cook eggs. The main redemption is the Manager came over and heard us and gave us 15% off the meal. Which was nice and the only reason for 3 stars.

    Ate on the pool deck. Large portions. One is enough for 2 especially when you factor in one of the sides which include your choice of fries, onion rings or side spring mix salad. $15. Happy Hour at the pool is 12 to 2 daily. $6 Mai Tai. Nice size too.

    This place is not great. But it's not horrible. However, its not my first choice ever. There's food, nothing special. They have the big pancakes that are more a waste of food than anything. The prices are higher for something you could get for much cheaper. Basically, you're paying for the location and the fact that someone thought this would be a great place to but on various food shows. I'm happy they did, cause the tourist go here and the actually good places are less crowded, albeit still crowded. There's some good Yelp check-in offers for the place. You can go, but you won't be missing much if you don't.

    Came here because of the man vs food episode! The pancakes were great flavor (banana foster with chocolate ganache and walnuts), very rich and great texture. I just wouldnt come back again for breakfast, its not a place that really stands out to me. Plus the service is a little slow so if youre not in a rush, this would be a great place to come to.

    The food was great. I'd say 4 of 5 stars if this type of food is your thing. We had the chicken fried steak with brown rice and egg and the loco moco dish was good ass well. I took away two stars because for one, the seats are located under the air vents. So when it's muggy out, condensation builds and ends up on the table if you're lucky. A few drops fell on my head and a few inches from my food and drink. Two, I didn't really like the way our server treated us as if we were a couple of peasants walking into some royal restaurant during the European Renaissance of the 14-17th century.

    In a hotel. Air conditioned but entrance is open to air from hotel lobby. It was very hot this last week due to hurricanes off shore. We were looking for somewhere cool around 10pm at night. It was okay but better than open air. We noticed chef cooking flair from menu. This also is the place for pancake challenge. I ordered big breakfast with pancakes. It came out hot and fresh. It was slow that night and easy to flag down waitress. Wife had breakfast too with same results. Hot and fresh. Wife ordered bloody Mary's and it was spicy. She had numerous drinks at different places but she liked this one the best. Something added that made it over the top Excellent.

    Modern decor, friendly staff. Yummy food. We called ahead to make a reservation, got there about 15 minutes earlier than the reservation, but were seated in about 5 minutes. Drinks took a while and the food a while longer, but our waitress provided bowls a fruit as an apology for the kitchen being behind. It was all good because the kids enjoyed seeing the ginormous pancake orders of others in the dining room. The DH ordered the classic bloody mary with sriracha - served with two olives. Nice kick. I ordered the Bellini mimosa - fresh and light to start the morning. KidA shared the $5 strawberry milkshake with her brother and sister (only when forced to) and they all agreed it was worth the money. KidI ordered classic Eggs Benedict - standard fare. Nicely done. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict - perfectly done with a lot of salmon and beautifully poached eggs with yoke that oozed out over the english muffin when cut. KidA ordered the waffle with whipped cream and strawberries. Presentation was lacking (her words), but the waffle was tasty, though a little thin. The DH had the Kalbi and Eggs over easy. Good taste to the kalbi with similar number of pieces to a local plate lunch. Meanwhile, KidC ordered the loco moco medium rare with over easy eggs (there were two). He said the hamburger was cooked perfectly, but his must have been prepared first because the rice and eggs were room temperature (versus warm or hot) by the time he started eating. Definitely something we'd go again if we wanted to drive all the way out to Waikiki as locals. Would recommend to visiting friends who are staying in Waikiki or the surrounding area. Call ahead and make a reservation. Parking only via valet which is validated for $3 + your tip.

    First off, I want to say Mona is more than amazing!!!! 5 stars for her!!! The food here is awesome!!! Had the MAC-Attack and everything was perfect! The Kalbi was amazing as well! The cinnamon glaze streudel pancakes were the perfect fluffiness and sweetness!! Love this place! Anyone looking for a breakfast place, come here and ask for Mona! She is the best!!

    My boyfriend and I decided to eat here after a long day of snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. It was a restaurant recommended by one of our friends who had previously been here. Right off the bat, we were amazed of how newer the hotel and restaurant was. It had a modern feel to it. Our server, Sandra was the sweetest. She was very helpful and kind! My boyfriend had the Country Fried Steak with a side of Mac & cheese and I had the Fish Burrito with a side of onion rings that Sandra had recommended (Thank you!). The portions were pretty decent sized. Bigger compared to the places we've been eating here on Waikiki. All in all, we had a great experience. They have a huge menu to choose from. I think we'll be eating here again soon.

  • Mai H.

    Gigantic pancakes. Nuff said :) they were still fluffy and tasty. I couldn't believe that it tasted that good. Ahi salad... Amazing! So many vegetable options, fresh and they all matched well. They even cooked it a little more for my kid. Service was okay. She seemed a bit irritated with our little son, but it touts itself as a family restaurant if I'm not mistaken... Hmmm

  • Cathi S.

    Fish burritos were horrible. Floating in fish oil. Had to take the burritos apart and drain the fish. Stomach problems that night. $17 for a dinner that made me sick. Very poor service. 4 booths of customers were all looking for our waiter. DON'T GO THERE.

  • Sasha L.

    Just came back from industry night here! Come here with your bartender liquor card and get 50% off food on Wednesdays!!! I valeted my car at the hotel (Hilton on Kuhio) and it's $3 (pay your server for valet validation, doesn't include the tip for valet). Our server was Santiago and he was fantastic! Great service and a really friendly guy, he was the best server I have ever had at Mac24! Definitely ask for him if you go! We had the ahi poke tacos and Kalbi bites to start..the presentation was SO CUTE!!! All I can say is order it and you won't be disappointed. It looked and tasted so good! They seriously stepped up their food game here! For our drink, we had the MAC-cano, which is a giant flaming maitai for two people with absinthe. Amazing presentation again! People around us were impressed and asking what we had ordered. Screw drinks in a coconut, drinks set on fire is the way to go!! It has a heavy licorice taste (from the absinthe.. No wormwood because that's illegal lol) but if you don't mind that it's a winner! And check in on yelp and you get half off this drink woohoo (we forgot to but who cares IT LOOKED SO COOL!!!). Also, you got to keep the cup it came in!!! It's this really cute martini glass with a rainbow handle! Normally I don't like drinks that give you a free glass (because it usually means a weaker and cheaper liquor drink), but this drink was worth it! SUPER strong and tasty! This is a true tourist drink that I will recommend to people visiting hawaii! Anyway as for food, we had the chicken and waffles and the beef stew. Amazing and delicious as usual!! Great service and food, this place is a lot more on point than I remember it being. Thanks again, I will recommend this to all my friends!!

    Being so exhausted after our long flight, we decided to order Room Service. We both got Chicken Fried Steak with Mac & Cheese, it was WHATEVER..........the Gravy wasn't flavorful at all & not nearly enough. The Steak was dry & the Mac & Cheese was mediocre once you got past the top layer. We ended up stopping in after late night bar hopping & this time we ordered a Sandwich & a Burger.....We both really enjoyed what we ordered & we loved the service we received. The Sweet Potato Fries were YUMMY!!! Can I get a delivery to California?

    After reading the not so great reviews I was a little apprehensive about our visit for my mom's birthday brunch but we had a great experience. We had with us 8 adults, 1 child, 1 toddler, and 2 infants so finding a brunch spot that took resys and could comfortably accommodate us took some forethought. But Mac 24/7 came through with 3 high chairs, crayons, and lots of napkins. Everyone enjoyed their massive portions and unique pancake offerings. I shared mine with a very hungry toddler (I swear she ate as much as I did) and we still couldn't finish the eggs, pancakes, bacon, and potatoes plate. BIL liked his loco moco, and my hubby enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Mom (who eats like a bird) just got a muffin but she seemed to think it was the best muffin she has ever had. Service was great, and we would come back. PS the "short stack" is unbelievably huge.

    I'm such a Mac 24/7 fan. Epic breakfast, really cool wait staff, fine dining at an affordable price AND open around the clock. The red velvet waffle is to die for. They serve island favorites, modern American comfort food and lots of it! Several award winning creative dishes and their drinks are also something to write home about. Great portion sizes and the Mac Daddy Pancake challenge is a must do in Waikiki! Try the Elvis toppings. Can't wait to grub here again :)

    Huge fluffy pancakes! OMGossssh! Sadly, didn't get that big pancake. It was just me and my bf. Not going to happen. Maybe next time with a bunch of friends. So we ordered the...don't remember the name of the plate. But I had 2 scoops of rice, with sausages, egg and toast. My bf had the pancakes with potatoe, bacon, egg, and sausage. It was really filling because it was sooo much carbs! They gave me 3 types of fruit jam...it was pretty good...the jam. Service was sloooow. Price was alright....it is in Waikiki.

  • Nick H.

    If you are looking for a midnight bite, breakfast or brunch - this place would deliver 3-4 stars but they need to come up with some changes to accommodate the dinner crowd. Let me say that again, this would be a very nice breakfast spot - kind of a diner or truck stop feel. But again, for dinner (unless you want breakfast for dinner) there should be some changes. We understand this is a 24/7 spot, but can we lower the lights, play some music that's not 90's pop, and possibly consider serving the food on something other than a cafeteria table on wheels? For the food: Edamame was spicy, fish burritos were bland and the Mac-Cano tasted like a sweet tart. Lobster BLT was a good idea but the bacon kind of defeats the purpose of ordering a lobster sandwich - you want to taste the lobster! I will be back someday for breakfast. Mahalo.

    After seeing this on Man VS Food we had to stop by. We were not up for their pancake challenge but we enjoyed the food here. Made last minute reservations on open table & we were able to be seated right away after arriving. Delicious food & great service.

  • Melissa H.

    First off if you enjoy eating in an ice box this is the place!! If you are looking for a delicious breakfast any other place on the island will be better!! Also if you looking for any type of service make a different restaurant choice for your meal, beyond the hostess who was great, everyone else could use to training or help in the customer service industry. Food looks delicious but will leave you desiring more, and what kind of waitress tells you not to get something( the man vs food pancakes) because it's to much food for you?? Pretty sure your job is to sell the food......

  • Laura T.

    We came here because it was the only place with decent reviews for a 24/7 restaurant. Impressed by the food for a restaurant that is open 24/7 and the restaurant/ bar was clean and cool looking. My friend ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna salad and that was very tasty. And I ordered the Truffle Ramen. The portions were quite large and the pricing wasn't that bad either. Would suggest this place for late night eats especially if you're really hungry.

    I decided to go here after hearing about their massive pancakes! My friend and I SPLIT the short stack of the cinnamon streusel and neither of us came close to finishing. The pancakes were a little dry, they needed a sauce or drizzle of some sort. It's one of those places that you visit to get the experience and never return. The pancakes were decent and they were HUGE, but nothing compelled me enough to try their breakfast again. I would be open to trying their dinner menu but as far as breakfast goes, on to the next one.

    It's 2 Hoku (Star) Tuesday again!!! Mac 24/7 has been featured on Man vs Food, and is located in the Hilton Waikiki on Kuhio. We didn't try the pancake challenge at $22, but my friend was tired of local food, so we had an American breakfast. We both ordered the Mac Attack: 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 sausage and potatoes for $16. If you want to add flavors to the pancakes like I did, (pineapple, mac nuts and coconut for $2 extra). I also swapped the regular sausage for pohdaghee (portuguese) sausage at no charge. The food was OK. The pancakes could have been better if the mac nuts and coconut were in the batter, and if the pineapple was not canned. All the other items were Denny-esque. In short, the food was overpriced and underwhelming: 2.5 Stars. The ambiance was generic hotel breakfast place. The only saving grace was the courtyard w/ a gazebo: 3 Stars. The service was very slow and inattentive. Our food took more than 15 minutes to arrive, and it was not crowded. In addition, the server looked at me like I asked to do "da kine" w/ his sister when I asked him for hot sauce. Lastly, the waiter disappeared and we had to hunt him down for coffee and the check. BTW, I also stopped by here for a coffee and a snack because it was close to my hotel, and the wings never came after I inquired after 15 min: 1 Star. I would much rather make the 10-15 minute walk up Kapahulu and eat at Rainbow Drive In, or Zippys vs coming here again. Mac 24/7 is a typical tourist trap w/ mediocre food, high prices and poor service.

    very very rude service even though you need to wait for 15 minutes, and the breakfast is just hard to eat. we ordered the egg Benedict and umami omelet, even though we are hungry we didn't eat much. To be fair, the plate is large

    Oh so ono, yummy grinds. I've eaten here before and decided to bring BF with me tonight. This was our date night and this is where we went. BF was thrilled that they had country fried steak here. My southern man loves this cuisine. It came with 7 cheese macaroni and cheese, kale, eggs and gravy. He was in heaven. He could not eat all of it, so he took half home. I, being the vegetarian, ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese. It was really tasty and I was full. We both had adult bevvies. He had a pinot noir and I sipped on a lychee martini. Service was spot on. All the way from the host seating us to our waiter. Price was not too bad I think we paid around 50 bucks for the two of us to have a sweet meal together. We are local here and we only live a mile walk away and we will be back.

    There is so much to say about this restaurant I am not sure I can accomplish it in one review! I must admit, I had always thought Mac 24/7 was a diner of sorts. Any restaurant open 24/7 in my mind had to be? What a mistake! Mac 24/7 is fine dining at it's best! My Father is recently visiting from the East Coast and we happened upon this restaurant to do some business. I cannot express enough how this is a MUST DO! MUST EAT! Every single thing we had was an experience in itself. Each dish prepared as if we were royalty! We are picky New Yorkers and I am telling you it was an experience I wish for all of you. Here is an excerpt of each one we tried..... Hawaiian-inspired vietnamese roll tea- smoked mongolian glaze kalbi, salt & pepper kauai prawns, nalo greens, hearts of palm, macadamia nut praline, kona coffee caramel shoyu. Are you kidding me? I don't even think I was able to imagine all of the amazing flavors in this dish. Absolutely incredible. deep fried short rib bites wasabi- scotch bonnet oil, thai mustard mongolian glaze, fried avocado Since my Dad and I were on a diet I was hesitant to do anything deep fried. They should take deep fried off the explanation. These moist ribs were delicately dropped in to the most light tempura type batter I have ever tasted. The chef's in all of the Japanese restaurants on Island who master tempura should take notice. It was perfection. The flavors amazing. Wanted to order more and more. mac nut mahi mahi shrimp scampi, ginger carrot coconut beurre blanc, cilantro rice, nalo braised greens Legit the most amazing thing I have ever tried. I have eaten all over the World and woke up this morning wondering if they allowed people to order this for breakfast as I was seriously on my way over to order it again if so. DO NOT MISS THIS!!! MUST HAVE IF YOU ARE IN WAIKIKI! Or even if you are not, I live in Kailua and will make this restaurant a favorite spot for generations. The fish amazing. Best we have ever had. The rice, brought the three teaspoons we couldn't finish home because the thought of even a spec being wasted made us crazy! Dish should be promoted on all of the top network tv shows. Great service. Great ambiance. Great location for weddings and events. Planning my Dad's 75th birthday there at the end of the month. I believe it is extremely inexpensive for the magnificence of the food both in preparation, presentation and amount of food on the plate. Do not make this a maybe on your list of places to go. Make it a must. Happen to have the Easter Buffet flyer handy so here is the phone number 808-921-5664 To check out the menu visit mac247hawaii.com Aloha!

    Great American Breakfast BUT don't go here if you're in a hurry service is slow I was very frustrated as the server took our order along with drink order & didn't bring the drinks until food was ready, 25 min after I would of been ok if I at least had my coffee to zip on.. Food is traditional large portions very good.. I think our server was just slow but he was nice..

    The breakfast here is good. I've come here twice and the best advice I can give you is to wait for a table on the garden side as opposed to the bar side. For my two person $60 breakfast, I don't want to feel like I'm eating in the second class section. Especially when I walk by the garden seating and the entire seating area is half empty. Really enjoyed my first visit in the garden area. Hated dodging the water condensation drips from the AC vents above my plates in the "coach section" of this unapologetic restaurant. Plenty places to get eggs and bacon in Waikiki. I'll go to IHOP next time. It's cheaper, about as good, and I won't be sectioned off into their nose bleed seats.

    This place is a drunk death trap. Yes, there is the wonderful convenience of having a 24/7 place just down the street of the closing bars. And yes, I will always probably go here because of their amazing food that definitely trumps McDonalds or god forbid I step into an I-Hop. But let's be real, I only go here because there is nothing better open at the ungodly hours of the night. I've had some really bad and fantastic experiences here. Bad: We came in on New Years day and put our name down with the hostess who also took our phone number down. She told us 15-30 minutes and we let her know that we were going to sit in the lobby. After 45 minutes, we went to check on our table and were told that we weren't on the list. What. The. We immediately left after that with a few unkind drunk exchange of words. I get it. It's New Years. You're packed. But come on don't low ball us an estimated time. Good: Last night we went in around 2AM and were immediately seated like we would on a regular night. Our lovely waitress brought us waters and returned a short while after to take our appetizer order. Boom. The calamari was hot on our table 10-15 minutes later. We ordered our entrees and then the waiting game started as it usually does. For whatever reason the main entrees always take awhile. Luckily we were stuck in deep drunk talk and our waters were never empty. When our food arrived, I had forgotten I had ordered the loco moco. Holy- This thing is huge! A fat patty, a layer of gravy and not one, but 3 sunny side up eggs over a heaping (and I mean heaping) scoop of rice. Take me now.

    J, C, and I decided on Mac 24/7 last night after relaxing poolside for a bit. My fiancé and I used to go to Mac 24/7 a lot 4 years ago because he worked late in Waikiki and it was the most decent place to grab a later dinner and drink before calling it a night. We stopped going because of pretty horrendous experience I reviewed about years ago. I decided to give it a redeeming chance since my last experience was so many years ago... And I learned that some things never change. If you quickly decide this review TL;DR the jist is: the food has somewhat improved, the service has not. Upon arrival, the hostess had just left to seat a table so the bartender politely told us that she would be right back. We waited for less than 5 minutes and the hostess sat us right away at one of the spacious booth seats facing the bar. As we settled in, I began to feel a consecutive drip going down my shoulder. When I looked up, I realized the condensation from the air conditioner was dripping right on the booth - there was a pretty significant water stain already established in the seat. The hostess had already walked away to tend to another party so we waited for almost five minutes until a young lady, who would've been our server, approached us. We explained the situation and she quickly apologized and moved us to another table in the separate seating area with a lanai/gazebo view. Much better. We scanned the menu and decided to do a few appetizers and possibly one entree to share between the three of us. Our server approached us and asked if we cared for any drinks besides water. Their cocktail list in pretty creative so before requesting my go-to drink, I asked her what she recommended. She replied, "Well I'm a whiskey kinda girl-" (Perfect! So am I!) "-so... Umm.... Whiskey and coke?" Hm, not exactly the recommendation I was hoping for... we could get that anywhere. I stuck with a Manhattan, C ordered a Long Island, and J was in recovery mode so she ordered a vanilla shake. We decided on three appetizers - vietnamese rolls (it was indicated on the menu it won some kind of award), rib bites, kalbi chicken wings, and poke tacos... on standby was the Loco Moco. When our server returned and asked what we settled on, we first asked her how many rolls the vietnamese roll appetizer came with and she responded, "One, cut in half, but I honestly don't recommend those. The consistency is weird, but the flavors are good." I commented, "Oh, but it has two stars." She responded, "Yeah, but it's not my favorite." Okay... fine. We began ordering and I don't think she anticipated as many items because she mumbled "Oh shi--" before covering herself. We ultimately ended up getting the rib bites, kalbi chicken wings, and poke tacos and said we would see how it goes from there. After settling in for 10 mins and chatting, our server returned and said, "I have some bad news... maybe good news? Our chef is changing the oil in the fryer so it may take 40 mins for the wings and bites... Is that okay? Do you want me to take it off?" If I'm being honest, no, that's not okay, because 1) the one appetizer that is apparently award-winning was already not spoken highly of, 2) two out of the three appetizers we were further interested in are now unavailable in the middle of what is still considered dinner service (8:30 PM), and 3) we somewhat think it's strange to jump to, "Do you want me to take it off?" right away. An easier transition may have been, "Do you want to look at the menu for something else?" or "I also recommend the (something that would come out relatively quickly)." I guess ultimately, the delivery was awkward. Anyway, good thing we had a standby. So we ordered the Loco Moco, cancelled the chicken wings, and said we wouldn't mind waiting for the rib bites. Poke tacos came out shortly after... It came with 4 tacos that were pretty tasty. Ten minutes later, the rib bites appear! Miscommunication? Not sure, but it was still an odd dish. Six uneven pieces of ribs generously battered and fried, two uneven random pieces of avocado also battered, and a clump of just batter. Nothing impressive, more on the dry side. And then! The chicken wings appeared. We quickly informed the person who dropped the food that we had cancelled that order and he said, "Oh, well, now it's the house!" How nice! Wings were pretty yummy... I would've ordered another. Loco Moco is huge and predictable. Definitely good to share. If there's a next time, I would like to get another server's opinion about the appetizers.

    Want say I gave it a single star due to the wait staff and hostess. We never sampled the food. We wanted to try another Adams man vs food but sadly we didn't due to the rudeness of the host and waiter. Its early 730 am so maybe she needed a second cup of coffee. She sat us in the beautiful garden (I asked is the garden part of Mac 24\7 she rudely said that's where we are going....) She sat us at a nice table that was pure pancake syrup. Waiter came by we told him he made a face and said "where do you want to sit?" So I moved to the empty table next to it he didn't move the menus was showing attitude . The wife said something she never says " Let's go" So sadly we never tried Adams recommendation.

    The only reason i gave this place 2 stars was because of our waitress. So sad we waited 30+ minutes for our food and my bacon was burnt and the bananas were so over ripe I couldn't even eat them. I came here about 2 years ago and it was awesome I guess they don't care anymore. Well one things for sure we won't be back or recommend this place anymore :-(

    Mac 24/7 is A-OK. The portions are huge! So be prepared to take home leftovers or bring some buddies to share with! They also have two happy hours. An early afternoon and late night! So make sure to grab your big beer while it's cheap! While I'm giving away advice, make sure to bring your parka! Every time I've been here it's freezing cold inside! That's something that is easily remedied with a hot bowl of sumo saimin or my favorite, the tomato basil and grilled cheese. There is also a "check in" offer, so make sure to use that Yelp App!

    Mac 24/7 has darn good food. Pro's -good food -nice atmosphere -valet parking makes it easy (they validate) -friendly staff -the drink specials haven't steered us wrong -decent variety Cons -although the food is great the prices are high -expect to wait, my experience has been that the food takes a while (even when the place is relatively empty) -server could have been better, often wondered where he was because we needed things for a while. I like being here and I like the restaurant, but there are other good places to go that have more competitive prices. I'd definitely suggest here for anyone who has not experienced it, but it is a once in a blue moon thing for me.

    This is my hangout spot. 24/7. Most dishes are amazing, small kine expensive but the taste and portion help to over look that. I always get the cookie for dessert. I have had the country fried steak, mac attack breakfast, all excellent . They also have many specials, Thursday nights students get discounts, there is an on going coupon on yelp.

    Our taxi driver recommended this place because they have great pancakes. He told us that Adam Richman from Man v. Food did the pancake challenge here and we thought that this place sounded like a good place to try. We are from Colorado and we didn't adjust immediately to the four hour time different. We woke up at 4:30am wide awake and hungry. Thank goodness our taxi driver recommended this place otherwise, we wouldn't have known what to do with ourselves that early in the morning. We looked up this place on a map and found out that it was only a 15 minute walk away from our hotel and it's open 24 hours, 7 days a week, duhhhh. I tried the Elvis pancakes. It came with bacon in the pancakes and with slices in between the pancake. It was topped with bananas and honey. My meal also came with potatoes and sausage. It was a feast! The pancakes were out of this world! I don't usually like sweet things in the morning but the savoriness of the pancake made them not as sweet. My husband ordered the eggs benedict and they were delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was yummy! I would come back here again and get the same thing or I'd try the loco moco because I heard that that was good.

    First off, the host was just quite literally yelling about how she wanted to die due to the Christmas music. Then she proceeded to say that the she "seriously" needed the Christmas channel to change or else. All of this while she is attempting to locate someone to check and see if our table is clean. Then she jokes as my dad tries to cheer her up saying. Hey I can answer the phones for you at least, her response was, "and tell them not to come? Haha" Well that was beyond awkward. Then we were greeted by Santiago about 7 minutes after we were seated. He didn't bother taking any orders. Comes back with waters. And then announced we may order drinks now. Our drinks took 20 whole minutes to come out AFTER we ordered. The good arrived 5 minutes later. I do not believe that this was the bar tenders fault. Because no one was at the bar and there were two bartenders staffed. Then when the drinks had arrived the Bloody Mary had separated it say for so long. We ordered The Elvis pancake with bacon, peanut butter glaze and banana. For the short stack it was 14 bucks and tasted like bisquick. Aka. Probably cost about 60 cents to make. Second round of drinks.... Finished our food and it still hasn't arrived. We ordered it right when our food arrived. Now we can't get a to go box or check because our server is God knows where in this absolutely empty restaurant. I get it's Christmas Day. I get you are miserable working. So my suggestion: if you can not provide quality service to customers on a holiday, then CLOSE your establishment. Merry Christmas

    Me and my boyfriend wanted to get a simple dessert one night and we thought about going to MAC 24/7 to have their delicious coco moco chocolate chip dessert with vanilla ice cream on top. MAC 24/7 is located to the right of the lobby in the Hilton Waikiki Hotel. The MAC 24/7 has colorful, yet subtle, decorations. I must say, it fits very well with their image. We were greeted promptly by the hostess and was seated right away (awesome!). As we sat down to our table, our server came by to ask what we wanted to drink. She never introduced herself, so I'd say customer service might need some work. Well, it is a 24/7 restaurant and our server must've be tired, but still. Anyways, we came in and ordered the coco loco dessert and my boyfriend had the frozen mo'o. For a slow night of only having 5 tables sat, our dessert took nearly 10 mins. to come out. I feel like that's a little too long to wait just for a dessert. As soon as the dessert got here, I was expecting a very nice presentation, but the presentation was very messy. It seemed as though someone was in a rush and just put our dessert together and gave it to us. Not to get me wrong though, the dessert was delicious. I probably would've enjoyed it even more and probably could've even finished it but our server did not show up to fill up our cups until she dropped the bill. When she did come by to drop the bill, she didn't ask us if we wanted anything else, she just said that she wanted to put down the bill, greeted us good night, and we never saw her again. Oh! and I still didn't get any water.... Based on my experience, the customer service and food presentation could still use a little work but the dessert was wonderful. I will give it a full 4 stars if this restaurant improves.

    After traveling for more that 12 hours, we were starving and since this place has been on Man Vs Food, we were dying to try it. Our service and food were no where near what the reviews told us it would be. At 6:45 we were seated. We were the only ones seated in the dining area with 4 people at the bar. It took 32 minutes to get our appetizers which were not fresh and you could tell they had been frozen and had been sitting under a warmer for quite sometime. Our burgers were as hard as a rock, over cooked and the vegetables were old. My boyfriends drink also stayed empty for 16 minutes. Our waitress complained about a "10 top" she had been given and how "they like to overwhelm you here". Completely unprofessional and made our dining experience even worse. I would not recommend the food to anyone.

    This place has a modern somewhat Cool feeling. Felt really calm in there and was really clean. They're are many different foods to chose from some local, I think I saw a loco moco and stuff like that on there. I had the steak. It tasted burnt and the vegetables and mashed potatoes didn't have much flavor. But the presentation was really nice. It looked good, but I've had better for the price.

    Gosh... Everywhere that I went in Hawaii was fantastic. Mac 24/7 was right around the corner from my hotel (Pacific Beach Hotel). My girlfriend said that she loved their bloody mary's, and even better, they are open all day and all night! We came here for lunch and the service was very friendly. We ordered the combination, which had galbi, chicken, short ribs, mac salad, and rice. It was pretty large in size. The restaurant is known because they have been on Man vs. Food. They serve this HUGE pancake that we saw someone order. When he tossed in the white flag, it looked like he barely made a dent in the pancake. The waitress boxed it up to go and it filled up 4-5 big boxes! Really cool novelty though.

    Went here for brunch after check out at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. We just wanted coffee, but it wasn't crowded and looked very welcoming, so we sat down and enjoyed the game on TV and ordered their "Elvis" (to share with my husband). The staff was very friendly and most of them greeted my husband with happy birthdays (I bought him balloons to tag along ) and the head chef even offered dessert. There was no wayy we could, after taking home more than half of the "Elvis." We would definitely come back for breakfast or drinks... They are open 24/7.

    I have heard such great things about this place. A friend that works here has a personal dedication to excellence, so when some friends visiting from Arizona asked us to dinner while they are here on vacation we decided to impress them with some great cuisine and local hawaiian Aloha service. Wow, were we wrong about this place! First, when we walked up to the reception, the female there asked us if we had a reservation, then gave us a "How dare You walk up without a reservation, don't you know who we are" look. Which is fine, I guess if you are the Ritz Carlton. When we were seated, we weren't asked what we wanted to drink, instead it was "Water all around?", "Ice Water?" Where are we in Europe? After bringing out our Water about 10min later, she asked if were ready to order. We ordered our food and drinks. When our Calamari came out with ONE set of chopsticks we didn't think too much of it. Looked like a pretty display. But another 10 min trying to flag Sandra our waitress down to ask for some plates was getting to me. We were pretty forgiving because we were in conversation with old friends, but now even our friends were saying that the "Service Sucked here". Although my Beef Stew tasted great, my wife's Ribeye was overcooked and cold. She ordered it to be done "Medium" and there was barely any pink. My 8 year is still raving about her Guava Lemonade, but I personally thought it wasn't very good. After waiting forever to get our servers attention, we finally got the check and even longer for her to pick it back up. Then to top it off, when brings the check back check she decides to start a conversation and ask questions and wishes us well and enjoying our time here. Epic night. It's going to be some heavy convincing on behalf of friends to get me to go here again!

    Got food poisoning. I usually enjoy my experience here. The boyfriend and I come here pretty often. So much so that they know us and give us complimentary parking or food sometimes. However, I just ate here last night with friends (NYE). Our tea was lukewarm...another server kindly gave us actually hot water. My gf and I had the baked potato soup. It was lukewarm but I was hungry. I knew I shouldn't have eaten it. Now I have food poisoning, hence the reason why I'm up at 6am witting this review on yelp. Again, first time I've had food poisoning here so I'll comeback in a couple months and NEVER order soup again.

  • Kristin T.

    Just finished having thanksgiving dinner and I am way beyond disappointed to say the least. We had a 6pm reservation and when we got there the entire buffet was empty (they did refill the buffet at one point but we're very slow). And the prime rib was gone! Our family had to bring a manager to the buffet line to show them that everything was missing and empty. Only then did they realize they needed to refill the buffet. On top of an empty buffet, the food that we ended up getting was cold, dry and very flavor-less, the ham was a processed ham - this is a $45 thanksgiving buffet! Come on! And to top everything off the service was horrible. Our waitress never checked on us after getting our initial drink order, when ever she walked by she would just give me a stink eye. Needless to say I will not be coming back.

    I've been to Mac 24/7 a coupe times so I figured I'd finally write a review about it. This location is definitely I place I have yet to experience during the day so keep that in mind when it comes to my review about the service. Mac 24/7 is located in the Hilton Waikiki Hotel on Kuhio. Can't miss it at night since it has a bright sign as well as nice tiki lamps to let you know you have arrived. Parking: You can either park on the street or just drive up to the valet. If you do choose valet your parking is validated at Mac 24/7. I wish I knew the price but I've never been the one driving...(Always too intoxicated :D). Ambience: Like I said every time I have come to dine here it's always been after a fun night at the bar or a club so my description of the place may not be the best. We are always seated in the back room tables which is nice. I will say that the place can get very cold further causing me to want to go to sleep even more. Most of the people that eat here at this time of the night (3 am ish) are in the same boat as me so you don't have to worry about being judged here! Service: Service here is very quick at the early mornings probably because there aren't a lot of people who come here at that time. Food: For some reason every time I come here I end up ordering the Shrimp and Calamari...don't ask me why but it always does the drink for me. I do enjoy my shrimp with cocktail sauce though so I don't like the fact that they only dip they serve with is a creamy chipotle mayo. The fact that you are drunk and can come to Mac 24/7 and have more DRINKS!? Say what? Yes you heard me correctly...they serve alcohol into the wee hours...not good if you have someone who wants to sober up but you have that one friend who wants to party till sunrise. Overall good place to eat...don't be a weirdo like me though...try the pancakes I've heard they are good!

    Must get pancakes from here- if you are going to get anything at all. Made sure to stop by here for breakfast after hearing raving reviews about the impossibly huge and yummy pancakes that a friend had when she was here- had my doubts about how big they would be. Very cool that it is 24/7 so you can stop by at any hour of the day for some modern American cuisine- breakfast, lunch, dinnner, desserts, happy hour specials. Didn't realise but they have the Mac-Daddy Pancake challenge as seen on Man v. Food, with a wall full of plaques who completed it and their time. Do not make the mistake of trying to order this for yourself, as I did- get the classic short stack from the Griddle for a one-person serving. Even that will be too much. I had left-overs for the next 2-3 days. They have a great range of toppings for the pancakes- I wish I could have tried them all- ordered the banana foster with walnut pralines, chocolate ganache which actually got too rich, heavy and sweet. So next time I'd recommend something without chocolate. It seems pineapple, coconut, macadamia nut is the famous combination in Hawaii- so definitely would recommend that! But having said that, the elvis: bacon, banana, peanut butter drizzle also sounds divine! Would love to come back to experience their lunch and dinner but glad I got to have their pancakes at least!

    Horrible first impression. First off- old lady late night bartender with glasses is the worst. She snaps at us because we sat at her bar without having a host/hostess seat us. "Well- we wouldn't have sat ourselves if we didn't have to wait nearly TEN minutes by the host stand without any acknowledgement by any of the staff!" Staff members passed us by, looked us up and down, and still no acknowledgement. Totally unacceptable. She did say "sorry" after she snapped- but the damage was done. Where service is left to be desired- the food somewhat makes up for it. My fresh catch burrito was really good with a side of their beer cheese fondue, coleslaw and onion rings. Really good. My friends' grindz looked all good and they enjoyed theirs as well. I would have gave these guys four stars if not for the service issues. Now- what to do about that grumpy lady late night bartender......

    Read the reviews on this place and really wanted to try their pancakes. Was never hungry enough in the morning to consume that many carbs and sugar though. Ordered their loco moco(takeout) and paid close to $19 for it. Save yourself the money, go to a hole in the wall establishment and get yourself a quality loco moco for a third of the price. The reviews on this place are mixed with the general consensus being it's way over priced.

  • Kamariah H.

    Absolutely awesome! They had gluten free pancakes which made my day -- we haven't found anywhere else that has some. We both got the Mac Attack, my husband got the Elvis and I got pineapple, coconut and macadamia nut pancakes and they were AMAZING! It was a lot more food than we were expecting and next time we'll definitely split one. I got the Guava Mimosa and while the presentation was amazing I just didn't love it -- and for $10 I really wanted to and was disappointed I didn't. My husband got the pineapple milkshake and it was AMAZING! Seriously so good, I honestly stole half of it from him. We'd recommend it and plan on going back, but just realize you're going to be spending quite a lot. It was $60 plus tip for the two of us.

    Lackluster food, thats all. Environment is nice. Good lighting, good seats, some "shiny" things to keep the eyes scanning around but thats about it. The food is dull, takes forever to arrive and the tastes are blended giving you a "mush" eating experience. My family and I stayed here several times and we do enjoy the hotel. As for the restaurant, its very disappointing. Menu is well written and does a heck of a job convincing you that you're in for a tasty ride. Once you get the food (25 minute wait it seems), you get very blend and poorly prepared entries. A good example of this was my childs chicken fingers meal which came with over-fried chicken (crisp cause the meat was fried out), rather soggy fries and not a single veggie or fruit. Disappointing and not even worth the two dollar rating prices.

    I give three stars for the food and the ambiance, the food was great. The service was horrible, I'm sure it was only our server because every other server seemed very happy to be serving their guest. Our server ISMAEL was the worst server me and my family have ever had! He gave attitude and kept walking away before we were even done asking questions. And he continuously made little side comments, about us ordering too much food... aren't servers supposed to up sale? We were there celebrating a birthday, and when my parents asked if they did anything special he walked up to the table and said "what? You need something? It's a birthday, what you want me to sing?" With an attitude! After that we didn't want anything,NOT that he offered anything special, that was embarrassing enough. One of the worst experience just because of the service, the restaurant it self is great.

    My boyfriend and I woke up STARVING and wanted to eat some breakfast. Went to Sweet Es- 1 hour wait. Cafe Kaila-45 minute wait. Any other time, we would have waited but we were so hungry that we just wanted to go somewhere without a wait. We thought Mac 24/7 wouldn't be as crowded so we headed out there. I ordered the salmon benedict ($17), which I thought was pretty tasty. The only issue I had was that the salmon seemed cooked a bit through. Not sure if that was from the heat of the egg or not but I like my smoked salmon to be raw looking and not fully cooked. Otherwise the benedict was pretty good and the flavors worked well together. My boyfriend had the mac attack, which includes bacon, eggs, potatoes, and pancakes ($16). For $2 more, you can sub the pancakes for one of the specialty ones so he got the banana foster pancakes (chocolate, bananas, walnuts). The pancakes are deeeeeeeeelicious. But I mean I guess for $18 a typical bacon, eggs, and pancakes breakfast is a bit expensive... I had an entertainment book coupon for 25% off so the meal itself wasn't as pricey. I don't think I would be willing to spend the money if it were full price though. However, the service was excellent and I felt that our server was very attentive and checked up on us frequently. Unfortunately, parking is valet only and it costs $3 even with restaurant validation. You can see that the cost can be a bit high for breakfast. The food was pretty good but a bit expensive. If I pay this much money for breakfast it should be spectacular right? It was good but nothing really special. I would eat again but only if I have some sort of deal. It's great if you need a quick breakfast fix and you're in the neighborhood.

    I had the chicken fried steak and eggs and it was magnificent! In the south it's called country fried steak but the gravy was just like my mom would make on Saturday and Sunday before church! Only set back was the air conditioning cooled my eggs 3-4 minutes after they came out and I had to wait a while with only a little customers there but it was somewhat worth the wait! I will come back again and I do recommend it to others looking to have a great breakfast with a loved one!

    I always enjoy eating here. Nice modern decor, comfort food, and HUGE portions! When we're lucky, we get Felipe as our server. He's so funny and always gives great prompt service. The pancakes are enormous in size. Very fun to see it arrive at your table. The take out box for the pancake leftovers are also huge. Quite a sight to see! I like to try different menu items - it's so hard to pick since there's a wide variety to choose from. Again, comfort food and huge portions in a nice clean modern environment - how can you go wrong!

    Service and food is "hit or miss." However yesterday's visit was AWESOME! Our server, Mona, was truly exceptional. She was hospitable, knew the menu and offered options to spruce up our meal , unbeknownst to us. You must try the Cherry-Lime Rickey (lime-flavored Shirley Temple, but BETTER) and their chicken fried steak served with mac & cheese. We left full and satisfied. We will be back to see Mona, thank you again for your superb service! ^__^

    Mac 24/7 is open 24 hours at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. The grounds and hotel are both nice to stroll while you are there. The service was excellent and the food was good. It is a little more expensive and you will need to valet your car for $3.00, as parking is hard to find in Honolulu. They do have several healthy items as well as traditional Hawaiian choices. The drinks were tasty as well. You can also reserve on Open Table.

    My recent experience here is for a company luncheon. We've had our bi annual lunch gathering here for our employees at work for the past couple years since were in walking distance ever since Pac Beach closed their buffet lunch during the weekdays. This place is great for big group luncheons and it isn't so busy around the weekdays that they always accommodate our large party of almost 30+. We do reserve way in advance so we're prepared to have our usual section of the long table reserved for us during our lunch break. We always have a list of what we want for our meal and dessert, days before we actually have our lunch outing. Our company emails them at least two days before to confirm our orders considering we only give the staff roughly an hour of lunch. I would expect that our food would already be ready for us to eat when we arrive there as they already know when they should be expecting us. But it wasn't and hasn't improved from the last time we were there 6 months prior. Our food came out half an hour into our lunch hour. I would understand if we just ordered it but they already had our orders beforehand and should have at least have it prep just in time for us when we sat down. That way some of our employees can enjoy it a little longer than having to rush out to get back to work. I ordered the ahi salad which consists of sashimi blackened ahi, vietnamese papaya salad, peas, radish, potato, macadamia nuts, tomato, nalo spicy greens, fried wontons with yuzu-wasabi vinaigrette as the dressing. It was actually really good and flavorful. Although I didn't like the radish that was in there as it was cut in large pieces. Maybe if it was sliced in shredded pieces then I wouldn't have mind eating mixed with the salad. The yazu-wasabi dressing didn't really care for it as I'm not a big fan of wasabi though it gave a little kick to the salad and ahi as I had slightly smothered it all over. The ahi was perfectly seared and the portion was right for me as I was actually preparing my stomach for dessert. The wait for the salad took longer than the loco moco, burgers and beef. I was beginning to think they had to go fish for the ahi and jump in the garden for some harvested greens. Like you would think salad would be the first to come out right?! Nope ours came last. Nonetheless, the salad dish was really good. But.... for $18???!!! Quite pricey, thank god this meal was paid for by the company. Under things you (won't) want to share menu, I got the lynn's famous ooey gooey mac nut brownies molten caramel center, a la mode. My mouth was in the heavens of all sweetnesssss! Forget all the calorie counting, it was all worth it in every single sinfully delicious bite I took. The hot brownies paired well with the ice cream. Now that's $7 worth paying for! I don't usually like going to restaurants in Waikiki because it is really priced for tourists so of course Mac 24/7 is one of them. At least their portions are big so I give them that. Other than that, I'd only be back for only when I have to.

    Love this place always a great time eating here even though the end result is the same feeling like a big sloth and so full!!! Valet parking is very convenient as it is so hard to get parking in Waikiki. This is the infamous pancake challenge that I always order and eat about 20% of it. Make sure to eat this with a army of five or more if you think you can finish it! When I eat here I usually get the local moco. Skip the eggs Benedict as it is pretty average. This place is probably the best because it is very modernized, good service, big open area and view and most importantly great for kids or large parties!

    We decided to have breakfast here since we stayed in the hotel. Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile and a very nice hostess asking if we had reservations. We did not since we practically woke up and went downstairs. She was very nice and informed us about Open Table to check reservations at restaurants. She accommodated us with a table by the window. Once we sat down, our server was right there. He took our drink order and told us what the Mac Daddy challenge is from Man vs Food! He gave us a few minutes to decide and went to get our drinks. Our drinks arrived a few minutes later and we ordered the Mac Attack. I like a big breakfast and this one seemed to speak to me. We didn't have to wait very long for our food. Our food came out on nice white plates and looked amazing. I dug into my breakfast potatoes because they are always my favorite part. They had some good flavor and came with onions and peppers. 2 slices of bacon one was chewy and the other was crunchy. 2 pieces of sausage that I felt were a bit spicy. 2 eggs that I ordered over easy. They were cooked perfectly but I like a little more on the cooked side so they don't resemble the consistency of snot. I got the classic pancakes and they didn't disappoint! All in all it was okay but I don't think I would seek it out.

    The food was just okay and does great in a pinch if you don't mind spending $15 for breakfast. Like when you're still on Bay Area time and wake up at 4 am hungry. Despite the food, the service was very attentive and our server, Santiago made sure our cups were full of coffee. He even took the time to talk to us, giving us a few insider tips on places that he personally visits. I don't plan to come back for a meal but I'll definitely come back for happy hour.

    I haven't been here in years since I lived in Waikiki and we'd hit this place up at random hours. My boyfriend and I have talked about going to do the pancake challenge but ultimately have never actually made our way there. Recently he had a late night pancake craving and Mac 24/7 popped into our heads. We weren't ready for the challenge but we were definitely ready to stuff our faces. I don't know how but we somehow went in there and ordered the most carb loaded, heavy meals we possibly could. They were delicious and totally worth having to run a zillion miles the next day though, let me tell you. Since we were doing the breakfast thing, I decided to order a bloody mary. I love that they have different options and I went for the wasabi-siriracha and was so happy with the spice level. It was boozy, had the perfect kick in the arse after bite and was exactly what I want in a bloody mary. Somewhere during that first drink we decided to order the Bananas Foster Pancakes and the Macaroni and Cheese add short rib. You know, a light snack. The mac and cheese came out first. Mac 24/7's is a seven cheese white mac and cheese with bleu, boursin, white cheddar, gouda, fontina, mascarpone & velvetta for their blend. As said, we added short rib pieces that were covering the top. We have always been huge fans of the mac and cheese here; there is something both fancy and classic about it at the same time. The short rib was tasty, tender and juicy - a nice add on to the heavy cheese dish. I will admit we were bummed that they took out the green peas they used to have mixed in. We loved the color and fresh touch. But still, yummy as always. The pancakes came next. These 3 14" monstrosities were covered in caramelized bananas, walnuts, chocolate drizzle and were glistening with sugary deliciousness. They are served with both regular syrup and coconut syrup, not that you really need either. The topping itself makes a lovely sauce on the top layer. I couldn't believe how thick the pancakes were. It was like we were eating slices of breakfast cake. I think we got through less than 1/4th but now we know what we got coming when we return for the challenge! ;) Thankfully, they boxed up all of our leftovers for us so we could go home and die of carb overload. The service was excellent - it was quite busy for how late it was and she really stayed on top of the table to make sure we were happy and had new drinks. It is a little pricey but the portions seemed good for what we paid. We don't venture into Waikiki often but it is nice to know that this place is there; always open, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks... 24/7! Next time it is getting too late to find a dinner place that is open, I know where we will be.

    So...I saw the "Man vs. Food" episode a long time ago but never really understood where this place was. Five pounds of pancakes were too much for Adam Richman and man lost. Now I know where it is anyway. Venue: It's located deep inside the Hilton Waikiki Hotel. Not the Hilton Hawaiian Village. You're not going to see it driving around Waikiki streets. It's the Hilton's Lobby Breakfast/ Brunch/Lunch place. No view and it is not outside either. This is sort of a sleepy low key hotel that is a full block away from the beach. Parking: Yeah, good luck finding street parking. You can do valet at the Hilton and they add $3 to your bill at the restaurant. A little tip for the valet guy and your are good. Zoo parking is a 10 minute walk away. So a large group of us came for breakfast/brunch a few days ago. Not too busy at 10am but we did get a nice big table. Service: Helpful hostess. Friendly waiter who made lots of mistakes but made up for them with positive attitude and by dealing with issues quickly. Food: I had plain waffles that were simple but good @ $12. Hotel prices of course. A friend had waffles with breakfast meats like sausage and bacon. Huge portions on that. Another friend is the loco moco specialist. It looked great but he said it didn't have much flavor. He was a bit disappointed as he is accustomed to 5 star loco moco goodness. Someone else had a pork cutlet with gravy breakfast. That was huge too and he was happy but couldn't finish it. Coffee was OK good but not the 5 star Kona Coffee experience which Waikiki Hotels normally provide. Vegetarian: Of course there are pancakes, waffles, oatmeal and fruit. The waiter said they would make up whatever you wanted even if it wasn't on the menu. So special requests seem to be taken in stride. That is good to know. I'd rate Mac 24/7 at 3.5 Stars overall. I'd go back. I kinda liked this place.

    So we had to try this place out since we had so many friends recommend this place over and over again! At first glance it seemed pretty cool and altho the wait was long considering once we got inside it was pretty empty! The food was really good altho the wait time almost was the end of the line for then kids since we all came hungry as its a lot easier walking around Waikiki rather than driving and finding parking ! We would go again as the food really was good

    So disappointed so let's get straight to it. Hamachi crudo is still good. Probably the only item I will order if I ever return here. Sesame chicken and rice looks nothing like what we ordered before when we came here. Completely different look and completely different taste. So sad!! It's very chunky and dry. Extremely disappointing because it was so good before. The mac-ano eruption was made too sweet this time, but still pretty to look at. Spam ramen that supposedly won competitions - way too salty. Spring rolls that are supposed to be crunchy were really soggy; actually, more like plastic in texture. It's really funky and the filling was very dry! Inedible. Overall, I was embarrassed I took my friends here. No one liked their food or drinks. The only thing we all agreed that was good was the Hamachi Crudo.

    Awesome restaurant! Food was great....my only regret is that I couldn't eat the legendary pancakes cause I was to full from the other food I ordered. Definitely going back again.

    * Price: not cheap! Ahi salad for $18. Loco moco for $17. Omelet for $15. Regular pancake (not the five pound pancake) for $12-15. Mac Aloha (galbi) for $25. You get the idea. 3 star. * Ambiance: modern decor. Swanky but not overly intimidating. 4 star. * Location: inside of the Hilton Wakiki (not the Hilton Hawaiian village). Pretty easy to find since the lobby is small and the restaurant is right in front. Validated parking for $3 ( really good for Wakiki area). 4 star. * Meals: oh boy where can I start... really want to like this place but it is a big disappointment! The flavor is there but execution is lacking! 3 star. * Service: friendly. 3 star. This is averaged to 3 1/2 star. We saw the food vs man show and really wanted to check this place out... so even read some not - so - good reviews on yelp, we decided to try it anyway. First dinner, we had Hawaiian inspired Vietnamese rolls, sumo saimin and loco moco. The flavor is there but it is a bit soggy! Sumo saimin is salty and a bid let-down! Loco moco has a good tasty gravy but the burger meat is chewy (even though we asked for medium rare!) We came back the second night since we wanted to give them a second chance (it could be hard to be consistent for 24-7)! We tried the rolls again (since I like the flavor), seared ahi salad, and galbi! Rolls are soggy again! Salad dressing is tasty and ahi is seared perfectly but there is too much stuff in the salad (Vietnamese papaya, snow peas, fried edename, and the list continues to go on...) it is difficult to appreciate the ingredients when there are so many of different things! Galbi (Msc Aloha) has great flavor but is so chewy that it is almost inedible! We need a place with great food 24/7 since there is none in this area except Mac Donald but really it is need some refinement on the execution!

    RESTAURANT WEEK HAWAII 2014 This place is a bit out of the way -- WAY into Waikiki and unfortunately the food was not quite worth the drive. It wasn't bad - actually some of the offerings were really good and the overall meal was filling, but there wasn't anything spectacular. FIRST COURSE: APPETIZER SAMPLER was a tiny offering of a MINI AHI POKE TACO, one sashimi sized slice of HAMACHI and half of a pan fried vietnamese inspired SUMMER ROLL. There was a little squeeze test tube of sauce to put onto the summer roll yourself, which was actually really tasty and fun. However, the presentation was lacking to say the least. The single mini taco came on a rack which fit 4-5 tacos. The tiny slice of hamachi was just big enough for a nigiri sushi (but it didn't come with rice). The fish itself was a bit seared and had a good sauce. I could have just had a small plate of that. The summer roll looked pretty nasty on the plate. At first I thought the fried rice paper was fried fish skin. I was was a bit confused. They would have been better off letting the diner choose one of the three. Maybe a bit more work at the back end, but it would have lent itself to a better presentation of food. SECOND COURSE: WATERMELON SALAD which was really strange. Pieces of watermelon and raw radish (maybe?) with candied walnuts and what looked like pieces of grass. Without any explanation you didn't know what to expect. The menu also said that there were going to be macadamia nuts - I guess they substituted walnuts. While strange in combination, when eaten together, it wasn't so bad, but I definitely would not order it again if given the option. THIRD COURSE: GARLIC KAHUKU SHRIMP on look fun noodles. aaaah - finally something delicious. The portions were also very big! Lots of shrimp and the garlic sauce was yummy. This was like having an asian inspired pasta with yummy shrimp. FOURTH COURSE: PANCAKES. This place is known for their pancakes, and specifically its pancake eating challenge. The menu said that the last course was a sampler, but apparently they only meant to choose only one. They gave a variety of topping choices on a basic buttermilk pancake. I got the ELVIS: bacon, bananas and peanut butter sauce. Great choice and because I was so full from the shrimp, I didn't even get to eat all of it. Our SERVER, though extremely nice, did not tell us what was in front of us. The menus were taken from us after ordering, so we had to guess at some of the items in front of us (specifically the first two courses). Management could have trained their staff to present the food a little better. The menu did not seem very well thought out and a big misleading. A plus for this restaurant was the KIDS MENU, which had a bunch of items. The kiddos that came with us are not your typical hot dog and pizza eating kids, so thank goodness there was SAIMIN on the regular menu. The server was nice enough to split the big bowl for the two kids. They didn't end up eating all of it, but they at least had an option. Overall - there are decent offerings, but I would hesitate going there again unless I had to. Waikiki is always a tough choice for me, but the food has to be up to standard to make me want to go back.

    The only reason they get two stars is because the food, when prepared correctly, is quite delicious. Other than that there is nothing to brag about. The service is horrible! Do not expect any extra attention, and by that I mean don't even expect a refill on your water. Also, be sure to have your waiter/waitress repeat the order back to you. Every time that I have ate here, I've had something wrong brought to me. Whether it was the wrong kind of pancake, or the eggs were prepared wrong... Overall it's not worth the hype.

    Service is typical. Take the pancake challenge if you dare. I've gone three different times of the day and I like the breakfast atmosphere better. You get to sit in the dining area and see a lot of people in a good mood. The food has yet to disappoint except last week when the chief cooked up Chicken Alfredo when I ordered Shrimp. The server apologized and gave me a large beer.

  • Nicole D.

    I ordered the MAC ATTACK which came with a short stack of pancakes which can also come with toppings for an additional $2, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and eggs. Wasn't too happy with the pricing, but I guess it was expected considering it's downstairs of the hotel. Food was really good and I'm glad I was able to try their famous pancakes in a smaller portion.

  • Tasty G.

    Yep, three stars is about right. Granted I've gone one time so this review is only based off of one experience... I think this is the only 24hr place in Waikiki. Cool atmosphere, decent food, i went in the morning (7:30am) so seating/service was not a problem. I decided to try the "House made" Chicken Fried Steak. Now I don't know what "House made" means to you guys but to me it means hand tenderized, hand battered in-house steak thats then fried and served. This steak had the notorious taste of a frozen chicken fried steak. Ya know, like from the school cafeteria... Yikes That being said, it was one of the better frozen steaks I've ever had. It just that when I read house-made I was expecting something different. I would have ordered the chicken and waffles had i known. The potatoes were tasty, a bit greasy but if you're drunk and trying to get some late-night grub, greasy is perfect. I say come check this place out but make sure your expectations are average and be prepared to over pay.

  • Nadine F.

    There's not much to say about Mac 24/7 that hasn't already been said. It has lower than average quality of food and service for above average prices, but I guess that's to be expected in a 24-hour restaurant inside a hotel. It wasn't the worst food I've ever had, but I didn't go back after the first visit, because there were a lot of better options nearby. One notable exception is that the giant haupia cupcakes that they have in their morning Starbucks area is delicious as a dessert for 2-3 people to share. It's enormous.

  • Alexis W.

    Had drinks before dinner here. It's bright and cool and our bartender was fun to talk to. The Blue Hawaii was yummy and the beer was cold. It's in the Hilton if you are looking for it from the street but there is an entrance with a awning with the name. Check out the pics on Yelp from others on the famous giant pancake challenge here.

  • Margaret R.

    I went here for the first time and was excited to be there. My food was good. But what I want to talk about is the fact that when I got back home to the mainland I noticed they had added an additional $6 to my bill. I always keep my receipts, write down the amount of tip i gave and the total. I called less than a week later and was promised by the manager that he would refund the $6. As of today I still don't see the credit to my account. Also I mentioned this to my brother who had eaten here back in November. He said he had a problem with his bill also. He said when the bill came there was food added to his bill which wasn't ordered. He brought this to their attention and they said it was a mistake and fixed it. Still makes me wonder about being overcharged on my bill. So if you want to dine here make sure you check your receipt before paying. And if you pay by card make sure you double check your statement to see if you have been charged correctly.

    We were looking for a late night spot and our concierge recommended this spot to us, so we took the stroll to the Hilton and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Elvis pancakes and they were HUGE!!!!! I couldn't even finish half of them but they were so tasty and I was so in my happy place. My fiance ordered the Chicken & Waffles which he thought the waffles were very good but the chicken was ok.....could of used a lil more flavor. We were overall very pleased with this place.....so pleased that we came back the next night with our friends and they were pleased also. The second night I again ordered pancakes but this time the Red Velvet and they were soooooo good also and of course, HUGE!!!! Luckily my fiance and friends helped me but we still didn't finish them cause they are so HUGE. Come here for some late night eats, it's really yummy and open 24/7!

    Why so much hate for Mac 24-7? It isn't that bad that makes you cringe and not want to come back. The food is pretty darn good and the ambiance isn't too shabby if you can tolerate orange. The service is the one downside that is lacking and removed 2 stars from my review. Open 24/7 and on the first floor of the Hilton Kuhio, it offers a nice ambiance and American fare that is pleasant and with huge portion sizes. In our party, a few opted for the tomato bisque and grilled cheese which were both stellar on their own and simply amazing when put together. The Beef Stew which was served in a bread bowl was great, the bread that absorbed the stew was simply bites of heaven that made me say "here is a reason to get fat!" The blueberry pancakes were huge...actually, huge would be an understatement. Gargantuan is more the term. My friend was only able to eat a fourth of his and took the rest home in a full sized bakery box. Service was pretty lacking and considering the restaurant wasn't that busy, was a major disappointment. We waited nearly 20 minutes to order and the food came out 10 minutes of each other instead of a careful orchestration. If they were able to get their service together this could be quite an amazing place to keep coming back to.

    Depending on what you get, this place can be 2 or 3 stars. I had the Mac Attack, a which came with eggs, potatoes, bacon, and french toast, and it was good and very filling. Friend had the "small" size of the pancakes and they were still crazy big! One bite was good enough for me! Can't imagine ordering the big size. I'm not sure if this is somewhere you'd want to go if you had a limited amount of time in Hawaii, but if you're looking for a low-key breakfast place with no wait, this will do the job.

  • Annie W.

    I'm surprised with the 2 and 3 stars, because our food was delicious and the service was great. This restaurant supports local farmers and uses the freshest ingredients to create their dishes whenever possible. That was their quote on the menu and I say "yay" to that. My husband ordered the beef stew filled in a sourdough bowl-$14. The top was cut off and toasted to add a big crunch to the meal. The tomato base stew soaked right up in the bread and made it more fantastic. I ordered the braised beef short ribs- $19. The chunks of meat were neatly placed against a mound of garlic mash potatoes. My braised beef was slightly lacking flavor, but overall it was still good. I found myself dipping my short ribs in the beef stew and that was flavorful. I didn't expect this place to be so bright and huge. With the convenience of it being open 24/7, walking distance from home and the prices are not too stiff being that it's near the "strip" too.

    During my stay at the hotel I went there several times - I am completely addicted to the awesome salmon eggs benedict! What a delightful change from the traditinal. I also stumbled upon their Bloody Mary that has basil infused in it.. and most surprising of all is that it's made with gin (which I don't particularly like).. it was light and refreshing and am really hoping to figure out how to make it myself! Why this restaurant doesn't have more stars surprises me - went there 4 times and every time we had excellent service and fabulous food. No, I didn't order the challenge pancakes, but I did try the smaller sampler sized and they were all to die for! Do yourself a favor and go! You won't be disappointed!

  • Evan F.

    Mac 24/7 definitely has a lot of appeal. Just as it states in the name, it's open 24/7. It's also home to the famous pancake challenge. Not to mention, there are plenty of other great items on the menu. Food is pricey. Note: The famous pancake challenge is no joke. You have to eat three pancakes the size of trash can lids. Even if you are able to complete the challenge, I'm sure it will ruin the rest of the day.

  • CJandAud O.

    Located in the Hilton Waikiki hotel. Walking distance to many of the other hotels (preferred the walk because we didn't want to find parking when it was just a few blocks away). We arrived later in the evening, like 9:30pm or so... Late enough that there weren't a lot of people dining, plenty of tables open, but for some odd reason, we still had a 20 minute (& no less) wait. Really?!! Seriously, though? Anyway, my friends and I ordered drinks... I had the Blue Hawaii. It was delicious & packed full of alcohol. Didn't finish it & still felt pretty tipsy. So if you wanna get drunk fast, they probably can get you started! Didn't try the famous pancakes (pancake challenge NOT accepted), because it was dinner time and I was craving pasta. However, their selection of food looked amazing. If I stayed at the hotel it was located in, I probably would eat there a lot! The pasta was really good! A lot of food, CJ and I easily shared it and were filled. I'd definitely return next time I'm on Oahu, but I give it 4 stars for the unnecessary wait.

    Well, one star -- and we didn't even try anything. Walked out after 15 minutes of sitting at the table picking out awesome-sounding items from the menu. Nobody showed up to take that order -- or offer water, drinks, apology -- or whatever. The service is not bad -- it's NON-EXISTENT. The funniest part is that our reservation was through OpenTable. Within 30 minutes of walking out, I received a notice that my reservation was cancelled. That means that I cannot even post a rewiew on OpenTable. Well, those guys get one star too for this!

    Mac 24/7 made me think that they would have amazing macaroni and cheese 24/7. That ooey gooey goodness was actually found in their smoked salmon eggs benedict! For what they charge, I expected something a little more amazing. But then again, who am I to complain, especially if I have a late night craving for eggs benedict? Yolk was at a perfect consistency, topped with spinach and hollandaise sauce. Yum all the way. Didn't like the potato quarters that came with it though. Would have preferred something more bite size. Also got their meatloaf. Great gravy! Came with onion rings, asparagus, and mashed potato. Didn't have much room for it after the eggs benedict, but still tasty. Decor was nice! Friend commented it was like an updated diner. Plush red seating, low lighting, view of their garden, but serivce was meh. They gave me and the friend way too much time to just sit. Good thing the friend was good company. On the expensive side, but thats what you pay for, for late night breakfast in Waikiki.

    Ok, they have nice large pancakes- open 24-7, but an 1 1/2 hour wait at 7:30 - not that good. Close counter and move everyone goofy sing song bar. Time to find new hang out in Waikiki- Food Network destroyed this place.... Hilton messed it up

    This review is for both breakfast and late night at the bar. The bar was fine, service was fine and the drinks were ok, too. Price is what I would expect at a hotel bar. Breakfast was good, but a little overpriced in my opinion. we got the umami omelet and the kalbi breakfast plate and they were both tasty, but definitely too expensive for what they were. service was friendly.

  • Cindy N.

    On our last day of vacation we chose Mac 24/7 due to it's location and proximity to the beach and it's drink menu. We walked in to an empty restaurant and a long line of people waiting for their tables to become available. We called headed and had a reservation for 8. They told us we would have to split up and seat 6 in one table and 2 in another. The place was completely empty so it did not make sense why they could not accommodate our reservation. They mentioned that the other tables were reserved however all we wanted was to add 2 chairs to the table of six they gave us. 20 minutes later we were greeted by the manager who ultimately told us we could pull up 2 chairs to our table. For a restaurant that is rather empty they took an awful lot of time to take our order and get us our first round of drinks. We waited 30 minutes for our first round and an hour before we got served. Over the course of the hour the restaurant did begin to get busy but is it too much to check in on your table and make sure your customer is doing well? They failed to do that. Mac 24/7 lacked all the key ingredients to a great customer experience. I asked for cheese in my scrambled eggs which they forgot and made it up to me by bringing me a gravy boat of grated white cheese to pour over my scrambled eggs. This was a first since I am used to melted cheese in my scrambled eggs but I went with it. The icing on the cake is the fact that we had to hunt down our waiter to get the bill separated-only we had to separate the ticket ourselves because they are too busy to do it themselves and we were still waiting for our check 2 hours after we sat down. Everyone around us has come and gone and we are still here waiting for our check. Food was ok and the drinks were standard but we will never come back here again and suggest that you steer clear of this customer service nightmare.

    After 14 hours in the air, it was nice to touch ground and have a beer and meal at a friendly restaurant. The homemade roasted tomato soup with grilled cheese was delicious. It contained some type of nut and cream. For a 24/7 joint, prices were reasonable. We also tried the Mac Aloha which tasted average but a nice portion allowing you to try seared tuna, grilled chicken, kalbi, and a lil seaweed salad.

    This is a very nice place if you want to dress up or be casual. The retaurant is located inside the hilton and the menu is vast. The service is very good here and they aim to please. I tried the chicken and waffles with mac n cheese. All were very good but the mac n cheese was not the shining star I had hoped for. Its a bit pricey for what you get but your in a Hilton hotel so i guess that says it all.

  • Andrey Y.

    Went here the other day for a late lunch. I got the seared ahi and my friend got one of the omelette specials. The ahi tasted pretty good. Yes, this place is a tad expensive. Good: What I liked, is sitting in the back where there is a nice view of the outdoor area. The ahi was cooked medium-rare, which for steak to me is too rare, but fit this dish quite well. Great atmosphere and view. And good presentation of the dishes. Bad: The portion was a tad small for me. The service was way to slow for the few people that were here, though. I understand this is the Hilton, but the price is a little high for the type of place this is.

    We came here because apparently Waikiki beach area at breakfast turns into a feeding frenzy. There was a line out of the door at most of the other spots. This one is located across from the Hilton hotel lobby, and was clean and had a really cool vibe. My wife remembers watching it on Man vs Food. She spent at least 20min trying to convince me that the challenge was something that I wanted to be a part of and after all the back n forth we decided to order regular pancakes in the same flavors as the challenge ones. The food was a bit pricey, but the portions were huge, and the menu had a lot of options. The waitress was nice, but service seemed a little clunky. Plates were dropped, orders were forgotten, or mixed up. Once our food came out our waitress realized that we received the wrong style pancakes and took the plate back. It wasn't long before she brought the correct order out. The pancakes are HEAVY! I had pancakes since I'd been on the island and these were the heaviest. Respect to people that complete the challenge. I know they probably can't go swimming until after digestion in fear of sinking to the bottom. I hear that the drinks are pretty good here, and with check-in you get a drink coupon to come back and get 50% off their signature drink. All-in-all it was just okay, kind of like a IHOP or big chain restaurant. I didn't get a local vibe.

    Yelp 365 Challenge #59/365 Shagadelic is the word that comes to mind as I am walking towards Mac 24/7 especially because the walls by the entrance is the nice burnt orange and you can see the long counters of the restaurant. The ambiance throws you back to a modernized 60's / 70's retro feel that makes you think of old Hawaii back in the days of the original Hawaii 5-0 scene and Elvis Presley "Blue Hawaii". I love this restaurant from the decor to the food. The service has always been stellar especially because our women's group has been coming here for breakfast in the month of September for the past four years. The first two years, the small conference room to the side was open to us. The third year, we chose to sit in the bigger dining area. I think it was chaos for our servers because there were about 30 ladies...individual checks (ouch). This year? They were prepared. They offered to create a buffet menu for our group of ladies. How cool is that? The price? REASONABLE -Unlimited Coffee or Tea -Unlimited Orange Juice -Rice -Roasted Red Potatoes -Bacon, Sausage, Portugese Sausage -Scrambled Eggs -Assorted Fruits -Chocolate Chip Pancakes The presentation of these platters catered to us women, it was set up really pretty with orchids in small area to the side on a round table with a beautiful floral display rising above the platters. I love it. There was such a flow that kept the women moving instead of standing there wondering what to choose from the assorted trays of food. The managers and the servers were so courteous and helpful. Not one of them seemed harrassed or frazzled by 31 women. Instead of regular coffee, I requested decaf. They placed a nice carafe of decaf coffee for me, so I wouldn't have to remind them each time that I am drinking decaf. The area of the restaurant that we were seated? They kept that area private for us. I love it. It was so considerate of them to do this for our group. If you're visiting the islands or you live here and looking for a place to eat in Waikiki that provides great service AND food? I'll definitely recommend Mac 24/7. *Two Thumbs Up*

    If you want comfort food, I would say this is your go-to place. 24 hours a day... cute little place in the Hilton hotel, formerly, Prince Kuhio Hotel. Service is eh, I think it depends on who you get. The food though... I'm a sucker for grilled cheese and tomato soup!! It's so good here - although, I was a little annoyed this past time I went because my soup is cold. I don't like my food cold. Their omelets are pretty good too! And the pancakes... well, who doesn't like a pancake that's like the size of a dinner platter?!?!?!?! But at the same time, sometimes too much of a good thing is too much. I prefer my pancakes chewy so I like it here! Others may disagree. The one thing, it is rather pricey though for comfort, diner, type food. But then again this restaurant is in Waikiki so it's kind of par for the course.

    Giant pancakes? check Great platter? check Nice service? check Yummy flavor? yup lets go! I have to say I missed the "man vs. food" episode when this place was featured. My sister's friends were very excited to come to try this restaurant out. So of course, the first thing i notice on the menu was "Mac Pancake Challenge as seen on Man Vs. Food". I have to say good thing I decided it was not in my best interest to try this. And at the end of the breakfast found out that on the show the guy didn't even get through half... Right. so after an excruciating eeny meanie miney mo of the menu, I opted for the Mac Attack - Sounds bigger than it is...But yes, this had plenty food. I got it with walnut/chocolate chunk (no banana) pancakes. The platter came with bacon and sausage, pancakes or french toast, breakfast potatoes and eggs your way. so yeah. Just your normal breakfast dish...I was a little sad that the pancakes ended up being regular buttermilk pancakes with walnuts and chocolate pieces on top. (still tasty) I let my sister help me eat the pancakes and I helped her eat a little of her loco moco (not much help though cause I had so much stuff on my plate). What an enjoyable meal we had! Would go again and just get pancakes maybe. #Yelp 365 Challenge - 156/365

    This place is more novel than anything else. The pancakes were GINORMOUS...but that's about all that the place has going for it. We ordered the macadamia nut, coconut and pineapple pancakes and split it between the two of us. Once the plate hit the table we were giddy to dig in. However, as we started eating, we quickly realized they were just normal buttermilk pancakes with stuff on top (just super-sized). If you're in the mood for pancakes, I would suggest getting a regular breakfast that comes with a side of pancakes. You get all of the pancake toppings, just in a smaller size. That way you'll have a variety of other foods to taste when you get bored with the pancakes.

    Mac 24/7 is a restaurant inside the Hilton Waikiki Hotel. The hotel does not have a free guest parking, so the option of parking at the hotel is valet only. Otherwise, try finding a cheaper lot near the hotel to park. Went to Mac 24/7 with a few of my childhood friends that I was visiting on a Saturday night around 8:30pm. The restaurant was pretty quiet and slightly empty with a few guests having dinner in a very spacious dining room area. The food portions are huge, so I suggest you pair up with someone to share a plate. However, during my time here, my friends and I each ordered our own entries. The menu offers breakfast anytime during the day so I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict for dinner. I must say the smoked salmon was very delicious! The smokiness enhanced the flavors of the salmon. There was a nice crispiness of the English muffin with sautéed spinach on it. The poached egg was cooked to perfection topped by a creamy hollandaise sauce. I am usually not a breakfast type of girl but having this breakfast dish for dinner was delightful! My friend ordered the White Cheddar Mac-n-Cheese for everyone to share. I was told that Mac 24/7 is famous for their mac-n-cheese, which made me even more enticed to try it. However, after the first bite, I was very disappointed. I did not taste the white cheddar leaving the macaroni tasting very bland. I did not care for the green peas in the mac-n-cheese neither. Perhaps, there was not much cheese sauce in the dish leaving the pasta quite dry in some sections of the dish. Even if there were more cheese sauce on the pasta, it wouldn't have done the dish justice because again the cheese sauce was not flavored at all. My boyfriend had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and onion rings. The food was good, but the flavors did not 'wow' me. I feel like I can get the same quality taste of meatloaf from a Marie Calendar's TV dinner. My other friend had the chicken and waffles. Her dish was towered with a huge waffle and lots of fried chicken! I did not taste her food, but the portion of the chicken and waffles seemed like it can be eaten in three different sittings to finish it: breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would not suggest to go to Mac 24/7 again unless my friends or family made an executive decision to eat there at 2 or 3am since it is open 24 hours. Some of their food tasted bland to me that I would rather eat a TV dinner. However, the smoked salmon was the highlight of my experience there.

    This place has the potential to be so much more. But a lack of attention to detail has really let down what could be a fantastic modern American food joint in Hawaii. Where do I start? How about what was great. The mac'n'cheese was very tasty, the salmon was cooked perfectly, the bisque (under the Mahi Mahi) was seriously delicious. But they brought out our mains when we hadn't finished our starters. The Mahi Mahi was overcooked and the chicken fried steak was way too oily. The bill without drinks for three people was $100. It was not good value for money. The mixed up service, over pricing and hit and miss food means that this place with an innovative menu and great ambiance has left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. The question is, will I return to see if it can redeem itself?

    GIGANTIC portions, especially if you order the pancakes. I tried the Elvis pancakes (peanut butter drizzle, sliced bananas, bacon pieces), and had them add some chocolate too. Wow! That was delicious, but way too much to eat even between 3 hungry adults! We had a lot of leftovers. I guess that is what happens when you make 3 14" pancakes! For breakfast, the sausage gravy and biscuits is good, but I thought the portion was a little on the small side for the restaurant. I didn't like the MAC cinammon roll, b/c it had finely sliced macademia nuts in it....kinda weird. I really like their beef entrees. I've had the beef stew in a bread bowl, braised short ribs, mmm, delicious! The mac and cheese is good on the side, but I wouldn't make it my entire meal...too many other yummy things to try. Definitely a place for comfort food. Did I mention that they have fried chicken and waffles? And chicken fried steak? Don't forget the mashed potatoes! If you have room for dessert, they are pretty tasty too. I've tried the fruit cobbler and the cheesecake.. I am starting to feel like I need to go eat there now....

    Dry, tough, bad flavor pancakes. I was expecting the pineapple, coconut and mac nuts IN the pancakes, but they were just on top. The novelty of the place was just that... a novelty. Not worth the high priced not very good flavor. I'd avoid this place. Saying you went here isn't with it. My egg white omelette was drowning in oil. I was that crazy person who was soaking up the oil with napkins. Embarrassing, but at the end of the day, I am responsible for what I eat. Meg. So sad. I wanted to enjoy my meal... The only saving grace were the servers. They were nice. They were helpful, friendly and open to customization.

    I have been looking forward to my trip to Oahu ever since I saw Adam try to beat the 5 lb pancake challenge. I'm not a pancake fan but I had to try the Mac Loco Moco and it was worth the wait. The burger over a huge bed of rice, topped off with mushroom gravy and a couple of over easy eggs was a bomb. It needed another 1/4 cup of mushroom sauce or it would have been excellent. I should have asked for extra sauce and I know our server would have gotten more. I read a few reviews regarding the service or lack of. Our server, Connie was the best. She took our drink order a few mins after we sat down and took our food order when she dropped off our drinks. Our meals were delivered by another server 10-15 mins after the orders were placed. Connie asked me if I wanted my drink refilled everytime my drink was low. Excellent service and very good food.

    Open 24/7 and they have the giant pancake challange. For 15 dollars you get 3 pizza size pancakes. We just chose to share it, as its rediculous if you can eat that much. They staff is pretty nice, and the other food looks pretty reasonable. I just like that they are 24/7 so after the bar, just hit this place up. Much better than dennies.

    Paid almost $17 for a HALF A SANDWICH. That makes me feel stoopid. It was ahi poke in a pita off the dinner menu. I was astounded to see that they gave me a half a pita filled with maybe 4 oz. of fish. Absolutely ridiculous price for the absurdly small portion. Also, the flavor profile was Indian, which I guess they do to be different from all the soy flavored poke in Honolulu. But they didn't do it particularly well. The spices were insipid, and it was under-salted. It was funny, because the waiter actually cautioned me and asked if I was certain that I could handle the spicy sauce. Spicy Chickens at Carl's Jr. are spicier than this sandwich. Of course we got the pancake challenge, which I needed, because I was still ravenous after eating my "meal." They were great. We had the pineapple and nut topping, which was very delicious. This place is full of gimmicks. They also have a bottomless spaghetti and meatballs. You can't be wearing any pants when you eat it. Har har. It was really delicious. We had to sneak a tiny taste of my son's, because they sternly instruct you that there is no sharing allowed. The Loco Moco was good, and a big, honking portion. So the pancakes were massive, like hubcaps, and you get three, plus all the yummy toppings on them. And the pasta was gut busting, as was the Loco Moco. So what gives with the mouse-sized portion of the ahi sandwich? Was it a mistake?

    Pancakes. I love them. Hearing about the manhole sized pancakes at Mac 24/7 I had to give them a go. I spent one Saturday morning slaving away in the loi at UH Manoa doing my best to gain some extra credit in my Hawaiian Studies class and worked up enough of an appetite to justify a wicked carbo loading session. I pulled in and turned my ride over to the valet, got my ticket and headed to my pancake paradise. I quickly got a seat at the bar and placed my order for the Elvis Pancake Mac Attack. Service was quick and the bartender/server was very polite. Out came my food and I took a bit of a double take. Yikes. Lordly, this is a TON of food. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can mow down on some grub with the best of them, but dang. This is enough to feed me and the rest of the bar! I dive right into the pancakes. It's the whole reason I came right? So righteous! Light, fluffy and covered in bacon, peanut butter glaze and fresh banana. I sit back and admire this tasty treat for a few seconds before I DEMOLISH it. The rest of the Mac Attack was good. Two links of sausage and bacon, eggs and potatoes. Really they were mere extras in the production that was those effin pancakes! Payed my tab and I waddled back to get my car one happy girl. I think I might know where my next stop will be this weekend after a night of boozin' with the crew. He He He.

    A friend once recommended Mac 24-7 to me after discussing great places in Waikiki to get a bite after midnight. He said they had great food, so my husband and I decided to check it out one night. We were hugely disappointed. When we arrived, there was only two tables filled and about four waiters/hosts working that night. It took some time to be noticed and seated, despite trying to flag someone down. When we were seated I found the restaurant to be very dimly light and there were several televisions playing different shows, with sound. It was difficult to watch any one thing on television. Our waitress was pleasant when taking our order, but after we placed our order our food took a considerable amount of time to come out (considering how empty it was). On her way to bring us our meals, she was telling another waiter about a customer, saying what a "brat" she was and commenting on how impatient their whole table had been. It seemed very unprofessional to badmouth one customer in front of another. When our food came out I thought the presentation was poor. I ordered the White Mac & Cheese with a side of Potato Soup and my husband ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. The Mac & Cheese was very bland. The Potato Soup, however, was very good. My husband said he enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak, but thought there was a surprisingly small amount of food for the price. Overall, I thought the food presentation, atmosphere and Mac & Cheese was poor. I found the service to be fair, but the prices were very unreasonable considering the product. My friend later informed me that the breakfast was what they are "known for", but after our experience I wouldn't say I had enough curiosity to give it another try. I did enjoy some of what we ordered, but it was not good enough to make us want to go back. If I were ever to find myself hungry in Waikiki after all the other major restaurants had closed, I would prefer an IHOP or Denny's to Mac 24-7. It would be a better value for your dollar, and of comparable quality.

    Honestly? It's good but not that good. Had my hopes high. Nothing special really. Had the Mac Attack and my girl had the Eggs Benedict. But if you're a competitive eater. Consider going for the pancake challenge featured on Man vs. Food.

  • Catherine L.

    I am not a big fan of breakfast. I love all things dinner. So, I came here for the ginormous pancakes everyone talked about.. Of course after I saw it at the table next to me, I freaked out. My friend and I ended ordering our own thing. She had biscuits and gravy along with eggs benedict. I had (not sure what it's called) regular blueberry pancakes with eggs, bacon, sausage. It was ok. Thought they were going to mix the blueberry into the pancake not just topped it with it . It had a sugar glaze too, not a fan. BTW, our waitress was a little off as well. Won't be going back.

    Here are my favorites at Mac 247 once a hideout for me. Calamari The zesty light taste of olive oil and jalapenos is so awesome. We once had 2 orders in one sitting it is light and tasty. Beef Stew Unlike the watery soupy style, this stew is on the gravy side. However, not heavy just right. The beef is tender and delicious. I even created my own shake called BUSTANUTTY. You will love it! Ask jason or Kama for this off the menu delight!

    When a restaurant is featured on Man vs Food, it means only that the restaurant specializes in an exceptionally large or exceptionally spicy dish. Coincidentally, I've been to 2 other restaurants featured on Man vs Food in CA, and they both sucked. Mac 24/7 is no exception. This place is awful, in all aspects. I cannot understand how anyone from Hawaii (at least for those who have visited this place while sober) can rate it higher than a 2. Bad food, overpriced drinks, bland ambiance (though it tries desperately to be trendy). Seriously, tourists and locals alike- DON'T waste your time with this place.

  • Larah G.

    The only thing I really enjoyed about this place was meeting the bar staff, especially the beautiful kama'aina manager, Kama. Didn't really enjoy the food all that much, and it was a bit on the pricey side, but it's amazing what smiling faces can do to up a customer's perception of a place. Ambiance was pretty a-ok too with modern, pretty decor. Apparently this place was on Man vs. Food since they have some sort of pancake eating contest... That's cool I guess. ...and that's all I really have to say about that...

    Avoid the pancakes, at all costs. The quantity does not make up for the lack of quality. The only fun part about eating here (early in the a.m.) is scoping out all the crazies. Also, the eggs benedict is baptized in pineapple juice. Yuck.

    Sold breakfast place in waikiki. It helps that it's open 24 hours! The mac n cheese is my favorite (but I LOVE me some mac n cheese). The pancakes are ridiculously-in-you-face-huge, and 4 of use can barely finish it. Loco moco is decent. Prices are a bit high, but it is in Waikiki.

  • Zoe B.

    My husband and I ordered the chicken fried steak and the Mac Daddy Pancake (without doing the challenge) with coconut, pineapple and macadamia nuts. The pancakes were huge and we need a big box to take the left over home, and that box was huge like a big birthday cake!!!! The pancake tasted good with the good topping combination. The chicken fried steak was good too. The ambience is good and we enjoyed our meal. The service was good too. They did validation so the parking at the hotel would be $3. The price is a bit pricey with the parking, tips (we were asked to give 18% though it was just lunch time). So probably can't go too often. At least we had tried what we wanted to try and we were satisfied. I would recommend you to try at least once there regardless the price. I wouldn't suggest this place as a frequent dining place just because of the price.

  • Bryan A.

    I finished breakfast an hour ago. Amongst other things 3 of us split the mac daddy. If you are not familiar with what the macdaddy is or haven't seen the man vs Food episode it is a scary sight. You get three 14" massivly thick pancakes with over a pound of toppings. Seven people in 2 years have completed the challenge. Not even that gorging fruitcake on TV could do it. The restaurant is in the bottom floor of the Prince Hilton in downtown Waikiki and covenient to everything. I ate a third of my 3rd of a portion. I am in pain.

  • EurJean C.

    We chose not to attempt the pancake challenge from Man vs. Food, but still enjoyed a delicious breakfast with friendly service and generous portions. We ordered the Mac-Attack, which came with pancakes, two eggs (local eggs!), bacon, and sausages. We got their speciality pancakes for $1 more, I ordered the pineapple/macadamia nut/coconut one and my husband ordered the blueberry one. Mine came with coconut syrup, which was amazing. The great thing about their specialty pancakes is that they put the toppings in the pancakes and layered between them, chock full of fruity yumminess! I did find the sausage kind of scary looking and the potatoes were just okay, but you get so full with the pancakes that they're really just filler on the plate.

  • J C.

    Kinda spendy, but for some of the items...it's well worth the extra cash. The pancakes are HUUUGE and can easily feed 4 people for 15 bucks. Their version of loco moco has mushroom gravy, and the beef is definitely of higher quality than what you would usually get elsewhere, so I'm ok with paying more for it here. They are also open 24 hours, so it's a great spot for late night eats (drinks, too). I did deduct a star for their spotty service. They completely forgot about my order of fish tacos, and on a separate occasion, the servers were confused about table orders. There were only two tables in our area, though...WTF?!

  • Alex R.

    I would not come back here. Service was OK, but my waitress was not informative of HOW HUGE the infamous blueberry pancake was. I thought I was getting a small serving for my nephew (which I did say when ordering) and she didn't bother to mention that it would not be appropriate for us. The omelet was subpar of what I had expected for paying more than 12 bucks, I could have definitely gotten something better at ANY other breakfast place in Honolulu. Pretty much the only good part about this place was their latte. And the pretty view of the courtyard of the Hilton.

    If you are looking for a sparetire for your car incase of a flattire, then just order the Pancakes at Mac 24/7. The pancakes here had the texture of a Goodyear Radial. The pancakes had no consistancy to it and it was just plain horrible. All this place is known for is for their BIG portions which don't mean squat if the food items here taste like that. The Omelets here wer just ok, but for the price and value, i would rather go somewhere else. Very disappointing dining experience here except for the Sparetire also known as the Pancakes that i should have stored in the trunk...

    This was the closest encounter I've had to a Man vs Food-esque eating experience. Four pounds of pancakes with chocolate, walnuts and bananas?! Yikes! Thank goodness there wasn't a time limit for consumption. I made it a quarter of the way through before throwing in the towel. What I did have? Not bad! Moist, fluffy pancakes and very tasty. I just wish I didn't waste more than half of my plate. The restaurant had a great atmosphere with plenty of televisions for sports fans, good service and a nice stop for late night dining. I would prefer an IHOP or Denny's menu selection over this spot though. Better prices and better selections.

    Well, well, well. Lets just say I didn't come here for the food. Lying. I did. I came here for supposably the biggest pancakes I'd ever see. YES. They were. All three of them. Me and my GF shared one stack of these behemoths. We did not succeed. The pancakes were suprisingly cooked evenly through. I was amazed. I would probably come back here with a couple of my other friends to conquer this challenge.

    The Hilton is revamped and Mac 247 is part of that revamp. Love that they serve 24 hours and 7 days a week. Service was decent. the venue has been host to "Man vs Food" for their $15 pancake ... We saw several people trying to take the challenge... not looking like they were going to be successful. A pound of toppings on the insanely huge pancakes. Not sure why people want to even do this. I mean Adam on that show has gotten so fat after doing the show, its a good example of the impact on you. Food was OK, but I didn't write home to Mom about it. Decor is great, food okay, huge latte, but something was missing. C+

    3.5 Kinda pricey...for fried calamari, turkey club sandwich, and ahi poke flatbread sandwich came out close to $60!? The taste didn't really feel like it was justified, but at least portion size wise it was good. No parking I don't think nearby unless you park at the banyan or valet? Luckily my dining partner and I were staying here and able to eat in without worrying about parking.

  • Scott L.

    Found this place thanks to Yelp. Can't believe how many times we ate at Burger King or McDonalds after the night spots closed, when this place was only a block away ( tucked inside the Hilton). I came here for breakfast and sat at the counter. Service was very good, and friendly. I ordered the eggs benedict royal, and it was very good! The English muffin was very fresh, and not the store bought kind. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was very complimentary to the rest of the dish. It came with fried red potatoes and onions that were also cooked just right ( not mushy or hard). I did not see anyone eating the enormous pancakes. The coffee was good but not some exotic or strong roast ( which I would have preferred). I imagine that when the bars close, this place gets slammed. They do serve alcohol here, but I don't know if they stop serving it after a certain time. If you've got the late night munchies, this is your best bet around Waikiki . I don't know about the parking situation, but my guess is "not good". Oh well, you shouldn't be out driving like that anyhow :)

    The service was slow.... My BF got the "Elvis" pancakes. When we ordered it, the waitress looked at him weird. When we got the pancakes...we could tell why. It was HUGANGOUS....yes...very. My BF ate like 1/5 of it...and was done. I got the tomato soup with sandwiches. I think I got this the last time I was here too. Nothing special. Overall, it's not all that hyped up to be. I mean yah, it's a place with huge pancakes, but the food isn't all that good, and the service isn't all that good...*shrugs*

    I gave this place a second shot, only because the first time I went there I didn't order any breakfast food and it was just a bunch of craziness because they just opened their business. This wasn't my first choice of where to eat when starting off our around the island road trip with the family but hey they wanted to take the pancake challenge which was featured in Man Vs. Food. So I have to say this a great place for hangover remedy because half of my party was hung over from taking shots of cognac and drowning their bellies with beer... Luckily I made reservations at 7am for 9am for 15 people, imagine us getting there and we had to wait!! HA.. my family isn't really patient with waiting to eat. We get seated quickly in a private room where the TV was not on. We quickly requested to have the TV on because of sunday football and when you have drunk boys in the room that will keep their heads up until their soup comes out. However there were some technical difficulties, they had to call the maintenance to turn on some switch which took forever! And let me tell you the BOYS were not having it.. they let them know of that too.. so whinny, boys and football.. finally they get it to work and we can now enjoy ourselves and get with the food! So we get our food surprisingly quickly and we have a mix of food scattered in our huge dinning table... one of the guys ordered the pancake challenge and boy those were some GIN-AMOROUS pancakes on a HUGE plate! I ordered something less challenging, waffles!! I ordered waffles with blueberries and powdered sugar with whip cream! It was fairly delicious and appetizing. However wasn't a fan of the price, $15. I had to make sure I licked the plate for that price.. Overall the place was very comfy and I would go there again I mean I could go there now because they are open 24 hours if you didn't know that already ;)

    This is a review for service in a hotel restaurant. Which means it gets extra points for being convenient. Having said that, the eggs benedict was on the bland side. The hamachi crudo was absolutely outstanding. Prices overall are high, a reflection of the location, but service is consistently good. As anywhere, being kind will get you quicker beverages and chow, but keep in mind that this place can get packed on a regular basis. Keep an eye out for unwary customers that order the pancake challenge and get surprised/deflated by the nonsensical proportions... And finally, be sure to check out the bar. The bar staff knows their stuff.

    We had our annual christmas party here with my friends with a total of 12 people and they saved us a private room. The room was very nice. We had our own light setting we could adjusted and a private television. The food was pretty good. I had the fried chicken and waffle it was really good and the desserts are good.

  • Claudia M.

    Food here is pretty pricey. Came here because my friend wanted to beat the challenge for the third time. He already finished the Mac Daddy twice so he was going for three. They changed the pancake portion to make it even bigger and thicker. All was good, the food took forever to come!!!! We waited more than 30 mins for all of our food to come. It was ridiculous. The food was delicious, but for them taking forever with the food, they had to be deducted stars.

    Came here for breakfast with the hub. I thought it would be crazy busy since it was from Man v Food but we were seated right away. I kept seeing the crazy big pancakes/mancakes that were being ordered and could not believe the size of them! If you get it and can't finish they pack it up in a big cake box! I had the chicken and waffles... the chicken was really juicy and tasty and the waffle was pretty good too with the yummy country gravy... it was actually a pretty good meal, and the portions are really big. The service here was just kind of slow, and our waiter seemed like he just did not want to be there which puts a damper on your mood while dining.

    So we finally decided to come here even after reading the dismal reviews on Yelp. I couldn't stop the wife from bringing this place up even though I've explained numerous times before that we'd be disappointed. So to prove my point we went here for lunch yesterday on our day off. Upon arriving we found out that it's valet only which is a big minus because who likes strangers sitting in and driving your car? I sure don't. That one Seinfield episode where Jerry's BMW gets ruined by the BO of a valet attendant made me develop a phobia. Being my first time there I wasn't quite sure where in the hotel it was so I went to the information desk to ask and was told, in a very insulting way, to just take 2 more steps and you'll see it. It's not like there were signs or anything pointing the way. She was sitting at the information desk so maybe she should be more willing to give out information in a friendly, sincere manner. We get into the restaurant and get greeted by a friendly hostess who decides to sit us at the very first booth of the restaurant on the loud side with no sunlight on a nice, tropical, Hawaiian day. Not feeling too happy about our placement at the very front of the restaurant in plain view of all those passing by I asked if I could walk around to check the place out. On the other side of the bar was a more inviting place with a view of a lush, green courtyard and blue skies thorough large glass windows. Of all the tables there, only 3 were occupied. Why would the hostess try to sit us at the least desirable when they're not even busy? I didn't get that. We ordered the blueberry pancakes for my wife and I got the braised beef shortribs. When the food came I had to try the pancakes and they were good and hot. I pushed by beef dish aside and just started into that massive pancake dish. I quickly got stuffed after eating just a small portion of it. I wasn't feeling too good after that. I had to at least try a peice of beef while I was there only to find out it was over-salty and a bit dry. Our server wasn't very friendly and took a long time to get us a box to take home the beef and to get us our check. He almost seemed to not want to serve us. We noticed another server and the way she worked with her guest was much more friendly and courteous than ours. We left without the inclination of ever coming back. I also felt sick for the rest of the day and had to limit dinner to a hot bowl of soup to soothe my aching tummy. It's already the next day and my stomach is still upset and bloated. Something about those pancakes really doesn't sit well. The braised beef is still sitting in the fridge. We're probably throwing it out today. I don't want to risk more indigestion. It just ruins the day. Everything is harder - working, exercise, resting, eating. Yikes. One last thing, my diet coke cost 4 bucks. No offer to refill either. Skip this place. Pancakes are better at Eggs and Things. Everything is overpriced too.

    Okay found MAC 24/7 did not do the challenge way to enormous. However I did the small stack and I wasn't impressed, tasted dry and the bananas a wee bit mushy & cold however the blueberry's ROCKED~D I did enjoy, the atmosphere it was classy retro~D

    To sum it all up Worst service in all the restaurants i've dined at in Waikiki (And I've dined here A LOT on many a drunken morning). Either the waiter/waitress didn't greet us, barely talked to us, was too slow on getting our food out, messed up on drinks, or rushed us. Mediocre and/or bland food I always get the eggs benedict which they never seem to mess up, although I always end up waiting a while for my food. I heard the place has new and better management. Hope they are better now than they were before. And before i forget, their drinks are wayyy too overpriced. $12 for a crown and cranberry when they are usually $7-$8 elsewhere.

    This was a great place for a late breakfast. We looked for it for two day and then realized it was in the Hilton Price Kuhio Hotel. They will validate your valet parking in the restaurant. The service was excellent. The ambiance a very nice retro style. We sat in a boot on the counter side and enjoyed the 4 big screen TV's all on mute. The pancakes were outstanding. Don't order the regular size - it will be as large as a platter. We ordered the regular size and it was still quite a bit - 3 fluffy pancakes with blueberries. A lot for 2 people. I ordered an omelette and was very pleased. It arrived with fresh fruit. The music is understated and very pleasant. The services was attentive. I would go back again and highly recommend it to you.

    So here it is a lazy Sunday morning and I suggest to the BF that we should go out for breakfast. My suggestions of Cinnamon's and Moke's were quickly shot down when he said "I want to try those huge pancakes". Uhhh Ok love. I show him the Man vs Food clip on youtube and he still is down. We make the trek from Kailua town to Waikiki. Parking wasn't too bad, found one a couple blocks away. Once inside we had about a 20 minute wait. One complaint that I had is that once we were seated it took 15 minutes for out waitress to even come to the table. In her defense though, she did have about 6 tables to tend too. The BF decided on the Elvis pancake challenge and I was super excited to see biscuits and gravy on the menu!! That is one dish I crave from the mainland! Our food came out quick and as soon as the BF saw the "Elvis" I think he died a little inside. If you have not had the chance to witness these massive pancakes in person, then let me explain. The pancakes alone weigh 4 pounds and the toppings bring it up to 5lbs! The "Elvis" is like a seven layer cake with bananas, bacon, and peanut butter on top of each one. The diameter is prob about 20 inches!! Oh MY GAWD!! The BF dove in with a vengeance. I though..."those pancakes don't stand a chance"....but 6 minutes in he was done. Now, he did get about 1/3 into them tho, but once again Elvis lives on. My biscuits and gravy were bomb! it satisfied my craving. I also ordered the eggs, longuisa, and potatoes. All items were yum except the potatoes. Those things were not cooked at all. My other complaint was that the BF ordered a glass of milk and it cost $4. Really??? A gallon of milk is the same price!! All in all a great Sunday breakfast experience. We will be going back soon just for the biscuits and gravy.

    A friend of mine who has been there before says that their menu has gotten SUPER minimal. I did not see most of the items that people took pictures of in the past. Maybe they have "menu rotations"? I don't know. Eh, is all I have to say, nothing stood out except the size of the pancakes. OoOoo and the fried pickle that came with the burger was good:) Other then that...*shrug*

    Went here at 3am because my cali guests saw man vs. food and wanted to try the pancakes. For 15 bucks you get 3, 14' pancakes; we got peanut butter ones. The place has a great, hip ambiance definitely for the younger crowd. I might add that the silverware is quite unique that I wanted to steal some (but never). The service here is legit. We had Kama, the manager. He hooked us up with some chocolate syrup for our pancakes and didn't charge us for the sharing fee for the pancakes. At 3am, he had enough energy to chill and talk with us for a bit. 5 of us barely put a dent in the pancakes. Outside, there's a wall of people who completed the challenge with none other than JOEY CHESTNUT, THE HOT DOG CHAMPION, at the top with a completion of 15 minutes!

    So this is my normal place to be after a night out in Waikiki. I normally love this place!! Tonight however, we had a tall skinny blonde guy who was very unfriendly and rude. He didn't really serve us(the cooks brought our food and another waitress our check) and then he decided to chase after us to try and get more of a tip. I've been coming here for years and introducing my friends to this place but after tonight I might be taking them to Denny's. The food was good and the menu changes seem great I was interested in trying something from their drink selection. However, the waiter seemed to forget that along with half of our other orders. Mac 24 is kinda known for slow service, but when you wait for more than an hour for your food when there is almost no one else there, it's a bit ridiculous.

    This place is pretty good. A little over priced, but that is to be expected. I ordered toasted buttermilk waffles and it was delicious. They did however go a little over board with the whip and strawberries. The Portuguese sausages aren't all that and for the bacon, it's taste no different than the ones you have in your fridge.

  • Derek N.

    I have a bone to pick with this place. I just went there today, and the service sucked. The waiter was rude, he hardly refilled our water/drinks, and everything was rather slow. I have been here a handful of times, and I don't know why I haven't written a review before, because come to think of it, the service has only been good once. The food is quite pricey especially considering the portions. My friend swore his loco moco was a big portion, but it just looks that way because of the plating and gravy. He still finished it, didn't he? He did. I used to think the pancakes were a good value, but they charge extra for more than two people sharing a single order of pancakes. Given the size of the portions eight people can eat a single order. The "sharing" fee for eight people came out to be 31%! That, mind you, is on top of the mandatory 17% gratuity for groups of 8 or more. Isn't the almost 5% sales tax enough? I used to like taking Japanese tourists here so they could marvel at the huge portions. But given the bad service, group un-friendliness, and that nothing is really spectacular, it will be a long time before I come back. If I ever do. If you want late night local food, you're better off going... anywhere else that's 24 hours. With so many late night options, even in Waikiki, why would you go here?

  • Puka P.

    Hmmm not sure why this time food taste like NOTHING, potatoes were dry and had no taste, pancakes were not salty/sugary, eggs had no salt. My friends were not satisfied at all and we left half of the food on the plates. The waitress barely appeared and never brought the order of vaffles and then claimed that we didn't order that, After when we asked for the check she brought it and opened saying "das total and plus tip ok? tip ok?" pointing on the receipt. No comments, Mac 24/7 is not the same anymore

  • Aaron W.

    My friend and I went late at night. I got a parfait, while my friend got the Mac Daddy pancakes. Let's just say he didn't come close to finishing. I did have some of the pancakes, and they were delicious. My parfait was excellent as well; the various fruits were a great mix with the lime yogurt and granola. According to the website, it looks like 32 people have done the Mac Daddy pancake challenge as of this review (last completed on 4/27). I'll definitely go back in the future to check out what else this place has to offer.

    5 of us went to grab some breakfast around 11am on a Saturday. I was shocked that there wasn't a wait--maybe all the hype has died down already. I had the Elvis pancakes (peanut butter & banana) and my wife tried their fried chicken. The pancakes are as big as you'd imagine and were actually pretty tasty--if not a small referendum on why America is becoming so damn obese. I finished about 1/6th of my stack before succumbing to fullness. My wife thought her fried chicken was just okay for a breakfast place--not as good as, say, Hash House a Go Go in Las Vegas. Service was alright, nothing special, as the waiter had to keep repeating the order to make sure he didn't mess anything up. He also did a meh kinda job checking on us and refilling drinks without asking. It was a good experience to eat here with friends and do my best Adam Richman imitation, though I don't feel the need to rush back here next time I'm in Hawaii.

  • Devin P.

    Normally we come here for dinner or those after midnight meals. However we decided to try breakfast/ brunch here because we were staying in waikiki for the weekend for my aunties wedding. First there wasn't really a wait, which was great because we were pressing on time. The hostess and server were both very friendly and helpful, as expected. Not having there breakfast or lunch selection before, I chose the red velvet pancakes and my girlfriend had the fried rice omelet with breakfast potatoes. My pancakes were awesome, it came with three large pancakes, I couldn't even finish. I would say they have to be the best red velvet pancakes I've had. I'm not a real omelet fan, so the fried rice omelet wasn't very "special" to me but my girlfriend had no complaints. Also the prices weren't that bad, for the both of us with a cranberry lemonade was just under $35 with tax for the two of us. The only complaint I have would be that there doesn't seem to be a real dress code for this place. It might just be because it was brunch time, but we had people coming in with what looked like "sleep clothes" or they just woke up and came straight from bed. Also the table that was sat behind us had there little dog with them. It didn't look like a service dog, but who am I to judge. Other than that, I love coming here and would definitely come again.

  • Arlene A.

    Been here a few times now and always felt the same way: nothing special. Yes, they were featured on Man vs. Food for gigantic sized- pancakes, but anywhere can serve up huge pancakes. My impression: average food with high hotel prices. This last visit will leave a bitter taste in my mouth. After a night of drinking, we ended up on the zoo end of Waikiki and decided to eat at Mac. I ordered the Mac Attack but wanted toppings on my pancakes and our server said it would be $1 more. I was completely fine with that so I looked at the different Mac Daddy challenge toppings. I requested the chocolate chunks and banana, but with NO nuts because I am allergic. Guess what? It came with nuts. I began to have allergic reactions and notified our server. He apologized and said the cook will make a new one, but I told him that it was okay, I'll just eat the eggs, potatoes and meats. He brought out a new one anyway, and said if we're not going to eat it, it's okay. We ended up bringing it home. The restaurant took care of my meal, but still, had my allergy to nuts been much more severe, the consequences could have been far worse. Allergies should not be taken lightly! On the upside, I really enjoy their signature drinks but have yet to try the MAC-cano erruption. Maybe next time I'll skip the meal and go straight for the drinks. I give the staff props for being open 24/7 and dealing with all the late night drunks. P.S. $3 for valet, which isn't so bad. There was no one in the valet area besides us and we were in no rush to leave, but yet I'm a tough critic when it comes to service because I work in the industry. We noticed our valet attendant casually WALKING across the lobby to retrieve our vehicle. At least look like you're making it a priority to get our car. Come on now, you work off tips. Here's a tip: Run while the guest can still see you, then you can walk if you want when you're in the parking garage.

    The only reason this is getting four stars is because our wonderful server went on break, and the guy who was supposed to be watching us (we'll call him Alex, because that's his name) was not present at all. Really disappointing there. My wife and I had the large breakfast special, and it was really good. The pancakes are amazing! Sausage was great, our eggs were prepared well, and the ambiance was nice. They burned the bacon, but that was easily overlooked by the rest of the meal.

  • Tori M.

    I'm basing my two stars from the time my former employer dragged me here and pretty much forced me to eat the four pound pancake. I don't like pancakes in the first place but these were tough, dry and tasteless. I don't blame them since there's so much batter and only so big a grill, but still? Like other Yelpers, I had some problems with their service. We ordered drinks (no way I'd try to eat that pancake without some drinky drinky) but our waitress forgot about them... twice. Once we got our food we didn't see her again until she brought the check. We had to walk around to the bar to get a pitcher to fill up our water glasses. The restaurant itself is pretty. It's got an upscale lounge feel. Very pleasant. They accommodated our big group with no notice. It's a really nice place. I was impressed. I wouldn't mind coming back for drink and some dish other than the pancakes. -2 Service -1 Dry pancakes -1 Valet parking only +1 Ambiance If you're curious, I ate a whole 15" pancake in 20 minutes, but that's all I could eat. I never got my drink but I was so out of it after eating all the food, people thought I was drunk. I felt drunk, too. Drunk off of food....

    Waikiki is the 24th top tourist destination in the world, and Hilton is the fourth largest hotel group in the world. Mac is located in a Hilton that can be found in Waikiki. Television shows have been taped here, and there is a well publicized eating challenge. Given all of this knowledge, do not expect to find an intimate setting for a dramatic breakfast presentation at a great value. That being stated, the kalbi and eggs were surprisingly good. Unfortunately the pancakes were not good. Even the half size portion is entirely too large, and the density is too great to be enjoyable. The cost far exceeds the quality, and it is somewhat made up by very large quantity. The portions are overwhelming, the food is palatable, and the service is slow. Make the most of it, order a basil Bloody Mary, take in the scenery, and enjoy being in paradise.

    I heard about the pancakes and wanted to go to try, however, after seeing the size of them, I opted to wait another day. Another day where I haven't eaten anything and am starving because those things are HUGE!!! I ended up getting the angus burger with sauteed mushrooms. Pretty good. The xango cheesecake dessert was delicious. I also tried the Lava Lava Rocks drink...very yummy if you're into the fruity drinks. The waiter appeared to be the only one working in the restaurant at the time I went, however, and we had to wait forever for service. There was a private party in the back, and I think that is what was keeping all the other wait staff busy. I do definitely plan on coming back to try the pancakes.

    We hit this spot within the Waikiki Hilton for dinner because of all the hype surrounding the pancake challenge. We couldn't even finish the short stack!! My friend and I shared the short stack with coconut, walnuts, bananas, and chocolate chips with coconut syrup. Wow, oh wow! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious and the toppings were absurdly good in this combination. Around the table we had chicken fried steak with mac & cheese (amazing) and the chicken adobo (not too spicy but very flavorful) and the fried rice omelet filled with sausage (unique and excellent.) The service here couldn't have been better - so friendly, so helpful, and the reminder about the size of the pancakes was well-received. Pancakes for dinner can be an amazing treat my friends, and one you should not miss. Value for the price was quite good. Oh, and check out the pictures of the people (especially the women) who actually finished the pancake challenge. Amazing.

    I'll keep this review simple: food is great, service is exceptional, and the hours are fantastic. I usually order the Caesar salad with chicken and an order with onion rings. The Romaine is always crispy, the chicken is perfectly cooked, and the dressing has a perfect balance of garlic and cremy-ness. A definite recommend because you can eat it with your hands. Chicken and Waffles are also a great choice. I love the afterhours there, never crowded.

    We were excited to come here after reading the reviews and seeing it on the travel channel. After fighting traffic to get downtown, the cluster of valet only parking garage, we finally sat down. The waiter was nice but never gave us silver wear, nor did he come back for refills. The food was very good but I can dump blueberries on some pancakes and call it blueberry pancakes. On the show, they cooked the berries in the batter. It was also on the pricier side but that's what you get in Waikiki. So between the two of us, we spent over $50 on breakfast and parking that took almost 4 hours start to finish. I liked it but I won't be breaking my neck to return.

    The waffles and gravy are without equal. Everything I've ever had here has been great...my son loves their take on the mac and cheese. Restaurant is always in good shape...love the atmosphere. Menu is simple..just enough items to make you happy. I get nervous when I'm at a place with a 6 page menu...you know they are pulling stuff out of boxes/cans when that happens.

    This place is amazing! It's funny that the first time around that I heard about it was through "Man vs Food". Yes, yes, I did hear the radio commercials before....but when it comes to radio commercials I'm like "la-la-la-la can't hearrrrr youuuuuu" (while covering ears and rolling rrrrrrs). The portions are huuuuuuuuge. You should be fine with the Mac Attack to try a pancake flavor that you're not too sure of. We tried the Chocolate Chunk and it was awesome. Extra points for the walnuts. Yum! We also got a Spinach and Mushroom omelet with portuguese sausage and it was delicious. Local style...we had to get da white rice. While I'm a fan of Bogart's, I have to admit that this is my new favorite place for breakfast, because: a) you don't have to deal with fitting your truck in one of those tiny parking spots at the strip mall where Bogart's is! Here you go valet style, woohoo, get me to the food pronto! b) service is fast. At Bogart's I wait at least 30-60 minutes for my food. Bring a pen and paper, cuz you can finish writing a book by the time your food arrives. c) portions are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge! godzilla-size grrrrrrrrrrrr! bogart's are itty-bitty-short-short-hey-is-that-it?-i'm-still-­hungry-what-pay-another-10bucks-for-a-fried-rice? -yousuck.com . And that's why I like this place so much.

    Humangous. That's all I need to say. Anyways we went with a group of people after the club one night and we decided to order the banana, walnut, and chocolate chunk mac daddy pancakes. My fiance and I shared this and I think we would probably need a few days to finish it. I don't know how the Man vs. Food guy did it. I did not want to eat pancakes for a really loooong time. Anyways, our friends ordered a bunch of other stuff including a Sumo Saimin. The bowl was literally something that we cook in for at least four people. Anyways, the food was mediocre and nothing special. The only thing special about it was that it was ginormous!

    Mac 24-7 is the only bar and restaurant in Waikiki that is open during all hours, any day of the week (including holidays), and we decided to go there to eat breakfast. This restaurant is located fairly close to the zoo, so if you don't to pay for the valet parking at the hotel, we recommend parking at the zoo and walking over. Most of the menu was comprised of expensive items and it was difficult to make a decision. However, we ended up choosing the freestyle eggs because of the longanisa sausage, a Filipino sausage similar to chorizo sausage. The freestyle eggs (cooked to your preference) came with toast (bread of your choice), various fruit jellies, and perfectly cooked potatoes. It was a very delicious typical breakfast, but for around $13, the portion was enough only to keep you "satisfied". Thankfully, there was one item that is definitely worth the price: pancakes for $15. That still sounds expensive for ordinary pancakes, but these are 14", 4 lb pancakes with at least 1 lb of generous toppings. There are five different options of pancakes, and we decided on the Elvis with bacon, banana, and peanut butter drizzle. Bacon on pancakes may sound like a weird combination, but the balance between the crunchy and the soft, the sweet and the salty really awakens palate. Also, for such large pancakes, one would imagine that these fluffy concoctions would be dry, but they were surprisingly moist. The original plan was to bring a large group of people to attack these pancakes, but only three people were able to make the trip. This made it even harder to finish. We even ordered a side of link sausages to add more saltiness to trick our palate. Sadly, we were only able to finish 1/3rd of the Elvis Pancake. When we went on another occassion, we had the cinnamon streussel pancakes with vanilla glaze, and between three people again, only 1/2 was devoured. It was probably easier that time because there weren't really any toppings, but it was really sweet. If you're wondering why this place may sound familiar, it was featured on Travel Channel's Man vs Food: youtube.com/watch?v=vVCm…

    So I read all the mixed reviews and was just hoping for the best. I ordered the loco moco and it was really tasty...unfortunately it was only lukewarm. The waiter was attentive, but service was SLOW! I could understand if they were really busy, but they had many empty tables! While the staff are friendly and nice, I would like to have HOT food. I'll try again though since the prices were decent and I liked the ambiance.

    My wife did some Internet wrangling to get us comped breakfast here while we stayed here. So, this review is based solely on the breakfast, but the breakfasts here are pretty darned tasty. It's not ridiculously expensive according the menu, the service is very good and the food's on point. I had the yogurt parfait one day, the regular egg breakfast with portuguese sausage, and the eggs benedict and they were all very tasty, well cooked, big portions and well presented. The service, as mentioned was great. And my wife had the waffles with strawberries on multiple occassions as she was a big fan. I'd even give them the same rating if we were paying as well, at least for breakfast.

    Can't believe I didn't yelp 24/7 til now. Went here on a referral from a friend who stated that she could feed her family on a single order of pancakes that were still too big to finish in one sitting. For $15, that sounded like an awesome deal. I drag a different friend there intending to order one of the pancake specials but get the meatloaf. It wasn't terribly crowded and the all the wait staff were extremely pleasant. Most made eye contact and greeted me as I walked through the restaurant a second time after managing a ripped contact emergency. The meatloaf & gravy were served with garlic mashed potatoes which was o-so-delicioso!!! My friend ordered the white cheddar mac & cheese which was wonderfully rich. I end up boxing my leftovers and while waiting on the corner for the cross walk sign, a homeless man asks for my food. He obviously had a good meal that PM! Went back last wk with the parentals. I ordered the omelet with sausage, spinach, & onions. It came with a slice of toast and new potatoes. The omelet was fluffy and tasted wonderful with the potatoes. Dad enjoyed his steak and Mamason liked the chicken & waffles. I had a bite of the waffles and they were fantastic. Crispy on the outside and light & airy on the inside. Mmm, I'm gettin hungry now!

    This place is pretty sweet. Came during the mens world cup game against algeria which we lost. So i decided to drown my sorrows in a large amount of pancakes topped with bananas, bacon and peanut butter drizzle. The combination sounded awesome, but the flavors were way too heavy for me and just too much bacon. They were obviously good, but not my favorite pancakes we ordered. The group i was with also ordered the macadamia nut, pineapple and coconut and also the banana, chocolate chunk and walnut. I fell in love with the banana chocolate, they were sooooo good. And definitely a bargain for the amount of food you get. I was surprised how good the pancakes were for how big they were. I'm really glad I tried this place out and if I'm in the area I'll come back.

    OK, We went here because we saw it on Man vs Food. We thought how cool would it be to actually be able to try a place shown on one of my favorite TV shows. That was the highlight, then we ordered the 7 pound 14 inch accross pancakes and they were delicious, made even better with the coconut syrup. The seared ahi was dry and and crab was dry as well. They forgot to give us our cokes and the waitress disappeared for long stretches of time. As we were going out the door the waitress apologized for forgetting our drinks and gave us free cokes. Nice gesture but too little too late. We liked the pancakes so we considered coming back but sorry, no.

    The food is OK. I really only go for the novelty of the pancake there. It is a lot to eat. I would say that if you go there for the challenge prepare to fail but doesn't mean you will just saying its a hard challenge to beat. Me and my friends tried just eating it by ourselves a team of (4) and we couldn't do it. So foodluck lol if you can actually do it congrats and remember all those carbs will go to your hips for women. For men it will go to your belly.

    When I ate here a month ago and I probably would have gave it three stars but after today, it gets four. The loco moco here is OK to say the least, a nice mushroom gravy with beef patty and rice. The egg was cooked nicely. It was nothing really special but It was a good loco moco. Today was different, I tried the Chicken Fried Steak and Baked Potato Soup. Both were very good. The soup could have been an entree in terms of portion size. The thickness of the soup was just right and it had a well balance assortment of bacon, potato, chives, and cream. The Country Fried steak was perfect to me. It had a nice batter that nicely coated the steak. It wasn't over battered or too oily. The steak was perfect, soft and tender,and easy to cut. It came with a country sauce with you poured on yourself. I liked the country sausage gravy. It was thick,creamy, and just the right amount of sausage. Sometimes restaurants have too much meat or its too oily. I spinach bed was a bit oily but it had bacon on it, which we all know, bacon makes the world go round so it tasted pretty good. The side dish was a nice portion of white mac and cheese. It may be a bit runny for some people but I felt the flavor was very good and it reminded me of some home made ones that I have tried in years past. Pancake, word of the wise, I have found out that there are two types of people when it comes to pancakes, people who like Light and fluffy or slightly dense and chewy. This restaurant make their on the slightly dense and chewy side. If you like light and fluffy, you will hate it. If not, you may like it. Ambiance was very good. Nice, quaint, with simple, but modern decor. Price I would say would be a problem for people. It was not a cheap meal. Then again, this is Waikiki. Overall I recommend this place. Try other things on the menu before you come to your own conclusion.

    What happened to Mac 24-7? While I know the hotel is responsible for the valet - not the restaurant, but the horrible evening started there. After waiting for 5 minutes to park, the valet guy walked right past me to greet his girlfriend in the car behind me. After a 5 minute conversation with her, I finally got my ticket. I just wish I would have gotten back in the car and driven off. I am a BIG fan of Mac 24/7. I've been there several times and would have rated the food as unreal in the past. This time was so bad I have to think that management has changed. I ordered the NY Strip special ($27) medium rare and my friend a burger cooked medium. Both came completely burnt. The mac and cheese, which has always been amazing, was goopy and not very cheesy and needed a heaping serving of salt. When we mentioned our disappointment to the server, she looked at us like we were aliens. No offer of a discount or any words of understanding. We waited for a reorder of my friend's burger, which came burnt again. This WAS my splurge restaurant (as far as calories go) but must say I will never waste the money or the calories again.

    Atmosphere looks like it belongs in an austin powers movie. Service was terribly slow and food was below average. Their pancakes are so large and there are 3 of them in one order, it really looks disgusting. I didn't have them. I had the basic breakfast and it was overpriced. If you are coming back late night it might be worth it, but otherwise pass.

    With consistently longer-than-normal wait times out of the kitchen, this ultra-hip and modern bistro comes up way short. Add to the fact that the menu is tremendously overpriced, I'd suggest avoiding this place altogether. If you're looking for an alternative 24/7 diner, save your cash and head for the Denny's just down the street on Kuhio!

    The thing I love about this place is that it is trendy and modern. Not just that but most places in Waikiki that are hip and trendy are also severely over-priced. While Mac is a little on the pricey side ($15 for pancakes) you get enormous food portions! Most places in Waiks that are comparable (as far as atmosphere) are pricier and give you TINY portions. The thing about it is that almost everything is big enough to share. The service is good, so is the music. It's like a diner with a modern twist! And did I mention it's open 24-7!

    We enjoyed Mac 24/7 treats after an evening of bar hopping...Our table ordered chicken and waffles, and a rueben. Everything looked and tasted yummy enough. The decor is modern and nice. They have a room for private dining if you have a larger party. No complaints about this place. I liked it!

    My husband saw this on the food network and we had to try it. It was worth it. He finally tried Fried Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was really good. Crispy and not over cooked. The waffles were delicious too. I had the fresh Mahi Mahi covered with crab over a bed of rice and scallops. Delicious again. The staff there is excellent. Our waiter was very attentive, but not hovering over us. Brought water when needed and we didn't have to asked. It was a great meal.

    As an avid man vs. food follower I had to try the mac daddy pancakes. I thought they were gonna cost atleast $30. But it was only $15! You can easily share this beast with atleast 10 people. But Im a beast so I needed my own. The pancake is tasted really good. Hawaiian pancakes are much better than IHOP. I'm shocked. I wanted the blueberry pancakes but some fatties decided to get the more decadent banana walnut chocolate pancakes. We ate half of it between 5 of us. Another fatty had the chicken and waffles which were pretty good. The waffle had 10 sticks of butter and 1 stick of lard in it. It was freakin ass greasy. I still like roscoes buckwheat waffles. But this one was pretty good if you want a heart attack. I am glad I tried the mac daddy. I would eat it again if I were drunk.

    open 24-7.. hence mac 24/7 this place is the home of the infamous mac daddy pancakes.. and oh daddy are they ever BIGGGG you get three thick 14" pancakes with a pound of toppings.. talk about gluttony to the maxxx! i heard they would be big but this was crazzzy.. and at a decent value at $15 considering it can feed a family of 6! they actually had a special going on as well.. $17 and you could choose from like 20 toppings i just altered one of their current creations.. and had the coconut, macadamia nut and chocolate chunk toppings i love pancakes and i was hungry.. breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yada yada yada.. but dude this was too much.. there was 2 of us and we could each only muster 3/4 of a pancake each.. so we could only finish half of it and we were completely stuffed.. if i had known i woulda brought more people! lol.. you can easily split this between 4 really hungry people if not more where they get ya is on the drinks.. a coffee and a glass of 'homo' milk (cuz they don't have 1% or 2%) was each $4 definitely worth trying if you are a pancake fan decor of the place is nice and they have TVs behind the counter which is where we sat.. and its located on the lobby floor of the Prince Kuhio Hilton Hotel in Waikiki

    After a six hour flight across the Pacific I was hungry! I didn't care that it was almost midnight. I needed some food! The check-in guy at our hotel recommended a place called Mac 24-7. Uhhh sure, fine, I'll order some greasy grilled sandwich or something, at what I thought would be some typical 24 hour diner. Whoa! Was I wrong! This place is all sleek and fancy with good lighting. Almost too sleek and fancy for grabbing a snack at midnight but who cares! We split an Asian chicken salad that came with fresh julienned vegetables, mandarin oranges, and a light sesame dressing. Exactly what I needed after a long flight. The menu is fairly extensive so you ought to find something to suit your mood, however do be warned that the prices are a little steep considering that you're just going for a midnight snack.

    I've been here a couple of times, and for some reason, always hope that the next time will be better. But that never happens and I always leave feeling utterly unimpressed. First, I usually go there late night, and they consistently under-staff. I understand the reason for this but the result is that if there are a more than like two tables, the service is slow. Second, the menu is boring and the food is just as blah. This recent time, I ordered the Char Sui Sumo Saimin. It was ginormous, why?? I'm not sure, meant for sharing I guess, but a heads up would have been nice. (I supposed the $14 price tag should have been my heads up, but the bartender said he liked the dish, and I wanted soup, so...) Plus it was way too salty! My friend ordered the baked potato soup and had no complaints. Important to note that he was sick though and had no sense of smell, leading me to believe that he would have eaten the soup no matter what! I have no plans to return here, but this town needs more 24 hour eateries, so Mac 24 will never be even a last resort option. If it hadn't been a Monday, I would have definitely gone to Liliha Bakery instead!!

  • Amy S.

    Food was ok, not thrilling, we had the eggs benedict and the club sandwich which was super skimpy on avocado. Portions are huge and you pay accordingly. Really, I'd rather eat one sandwich for $7 than be forced to spend $14 for what amounts to 2 sandwiches. Service was abominable. Food served at different times, waitress was far, far away both mentally and physically.

    bluuurgh! i ordered the mac attack and the plate was just pathetic. i mean i could have cooked up that mess in my hotel room using the burner on my coffee maker and stirring with my feet. it was below mcdonalds quality and my pancakes were soggy. just because it was on a show where an obese guy eats excessive amounts of carbs doesn't mean it's delicious.

    My family(husband and 4 kids) and I like this place alot.the service is great(didn't have to wait to get our drinks filled) ,food is good(BIG portions)the decor is a modern twist on a diner(meaning it has a diner feel but modern look to it) for us being a family of 6 the price is a factor thats the only reason why I gave it a 4 but in all good place to take the family if your in the waikiki area.

    I'm sorry, but this place has no redeeming qualities to me, not even the fact that it's open 24/7. Frankly I'd rather go to Zippy's and have an apple napple, I'd be happy. I just don't see the appeal in this place. When it first opened it was a commodity so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The too-cool-for-school mod diner decor lured me in I think. The food was just average and I felt like the servers had no previous serving experience before. Not impressed. So I thought to myself, ok, cut them a little slack, they're still working out the kinks. I figured I'd give them a second chance and try them this time for breakfast. So I went and ordered the pancakes. When they brought them out to me and I saw how ginormous they were, I got irritated. I wasn't even amused, or astonished like wow! omg! No, just really, really irritated. It irritated me because they know NO ONE can finish these pancakes so esssentially they're wasting food and money AND because it's such a weak attention-getting ploy! I get it, they're going for the shock value thing. But seriously, couldn't they offer them on the menu as "instant heart-attack-on-a-plate pancakes, eat at your own risk" and then have normal sized pancakes for the rest of us? I hate that if you just want a freaking decent-sized pancake you can't get one, you are forced to get the mother of all pancakes. Ugh. Sorry, reliving the experience got me all worked up. Needless to say I haven't been back. My advice- save the money you would have to spend on the valet to go there and go buckwild at Jack In the Box or Likelike Drive Inn at 3 am.

    We had the hot and wild blueberry buttermilk, needless to say we could even finish a 1/4 b/w the both of us! Good comfort food! Another visit I had the roasted vine ripened, tomato soup fresh basil and cream and tomato-maui onion salad with blue cheese and red wine vinaigrette. I must have been in a tomatoe mood!! Most enjoyable! Great service! Will visit again for great comfort fuud!! =)

    This was my first time coming to this place after hearing so many stories about the epic-sized pancakes. This restaurant was also featured on Man Vs. Food. My friends and I came here at about 3:30 in the morning-drunk and hungry, so there was only another couple there. We were seated in the back room at a booth. Our waitress was really nice and helpful when asked her opinion on which entrees were "winners". Our waitress was very patient with us as we kinda took a long time to order. I originally wanted to order the Eggs Benedict Royale but I had to share with my BFF who wasn't a Benedict fan. So we ended up going for the Mac Attack which was French Toast or Pancakes with eggs, bacon and sausage. We opted for the pancakes with Cinnamon Streusel & Vanilla syrup. We also split the sweet chile chicken wings with ranch. I am a breakfast fanatic so I love eggs at any time of day. We were quite satisfied with what we ordered. The pancakes with the cinnamon streusel topping was absolute heaven and topped with the vanilla syrup, it sure hit the spot. Being accompanied with the eggs, sausage, bacon and chicken wings, it was pretty hearty of a meal. Just when we were all about ready for the check, our waitress comes to our table with complimentary ice cream, a scoop each of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. It tasted like any other ice cream, just dressed up with some chocolate drizzles. But in no way am I complaining! Who doesn't like free? We asked for our check to be split 4 ways so it took a while to complete all of our transactions due to some technical difficulties. The restaurant is designed nicely with a cushioned wall at the entrance, large flat screen TVs lined up along the bar, and modern furniture and looked very clean. I didn't give this place 5 stars only because I felt there was something missing for the WOW factor and also maybe because of the simple dishes that I could easily make at home for myself but overall, this is a good restaurant to come to with friends or your significant other to grab a bite to eat at any hour of the day.

  • Tyler D.

    Not too shabby. The food could be a little better, but for an all day all night spot, it is pretty good. I like that they serve waffles and fried chicken. Anyone else know another spot for that in Hawaii? They have really good milk shakes here too. The decor is pretty cool too.

    open every day 7 days a week, hence Mac 24/7. On Kuhio Street (one street over from the main street in Waikiki). It's a lot nicer than most 24 hour restaurants I've been in. Large portions and clean. Apparently it was on Food Network. Of all the amazing places to eat in Honolulu I can't imagine why Mac 24/7 was chosen but it is really good if you're looking for no-frills good food at any hour.

    baked potato soup was great, desserts bad. I was very dissapointed in this place. I had been here a couple of years a go and was great. Now the waiter staff was not good, seems that we where in his way , the baked potato soup was creamy and hot on a cool/ cold(70's) day. Had cheese and onion and bits of potato in it -very good . should have stopped there. But i wanted dessert too, well the desserts where bad---choc lava cake- no lava and choc sauceon the out side ?! tasted like herseys syrpy and cake was wet/soggy on top. Not any lava cake i have had before.My friend got a carrot cake , looked good with carrot shaped in frosting on the top and i tasted it and it was like yellow cake with a piece of coconuts which should have been carrots and nuts ect.There was no manager around to let them know, so i will not be back and will let people know not to go there if you want ok food and big prices. to bad, there where good when they first opened.

  • Ms. P.

    we ordered fried chicken & waffles, and some sort of pasta from here, and had it in our room....The pasta was okay, but the chicken was dry, and gravy was not enough for the waffles & dipping...I'm still not sure what the big deal about mac 24/7 is, my husband even went the day before with his friends, and said it was nothing great. so, we thought maybe a 2nd try would be better? oh, and it was WAY too pricey....we paid almost $50 for the take-out of 2 meals!

    Went there last night with the wife.. we were greeted (way before we got to the door)with a long distant smile from the host. she kindley sat us down and told us to look at the menu and that our waiter will be with us shortly,no sooner did she leave a few steps away then our waiter came and introduced himself and asked if we would like to start off with a drink as we look over the menu not only did I order the drinks I alreay knew what appetizer i wanted which was what he recomended, the rockshrimp/calamari. we did order that along with a banana smoothie for the wife and a diet coke for me the drinks came 3 minutes later. and 8 minutes later the shrimp arrived. it was okay (tasty) my wife liked the flavor combo with peppers and lemon. a few seconds into the shimp dish our waiter came back and took our main order. wife orderd ribeye steak and I ordered the fresh island Mahi-mahi. we always share from each others plates. the food came roughly 15 minutes later. we still had shrimp/calamari left on the dish and our noses where meizmarized with the smells of fresh beef and seafood.. OMG it was awesome.. the mahi came from bottom to top) white rice, a fresh piece of mahimahi smothered in lobster biscue souce with chunks of lobster and crab meat, then bukchoy. to-die-for. the ribsteak which was a pretty big cut came with garlic mash potatoes with a gravy boat full of gravy and asparagus spears. for dessert I had the Lava cake and wife had the xangos, everything had a good taste was filling at best. the steak was cooked well and the mahi although a little dry was made up for by the sauce. only thing is be prepared to spend a bit, but It was worth it. the atmosphere at the time (around 5pm) was quite enough for my wife and I to have a decent converstation. but towards the end of our stay it got a little crowded and i bit harder to hear each other. in short. I would recommend MAC24/7. aloha..

    I had breakfast everyday here when I stayed at the hotel, it was part of my booking package. The menu I had was limited to 2 set of choices. I had eggs, bacon ( so crispy - just the way I like it ), toast and coffee ( served in a extra large cup ). The coffee pot was left at the table. On one side of the restaurant was a wall of plate glass overlooking a garden with a waterfall and a wedding gazebo. A nice start to the day - a good breakfast in nice surroundings.

    We have been wanting to try this place ever since we saw Adam Richman attempt the "Mac Daddy" pancake Challenge on Man Vs. Food! Finally tried it. The vibe of the restaurant is awesome. Cool decor, great lighting and comfortable seating. Despite my love for pancakes, white flour carbs -- especially pancakes -- are sadly not a regular staple of my diet so I was uber excited to try the famous pancakes. We went at dinner time and ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad to start (small but excellent) and asked specifically that our pancakes be served for dessert after the salad. They brought them at the same time, which was disappointing. We ordered the pineapple mac pancakes to share. The portion was absolutely huge. So huge, in fact, that my husband enjoyed the leftovers for days -- warming them up in the microwave at our hotel! The huge pancakes were plattered and served with butter and three syrups. I love pancakes and was hopeful in anticipation of my carb/sugar-fest but found these to be rather dry and under-whelming. They were not infused with "stuff," like I like. Just seemed like plain pancakes with some pineapple and nuts thrown on top. Perhaps the other varities are better -- they had blueberry and even "Elvis" pancakes on the menu. I do recommend this place and I'd go back. But I'd order something different and save my carb investment for something else.

    There is only one thing better than a restaurant open 24/7, a good restaurant open 24/7. Mac 24/7 offers a WIDE variety of food that will blow your mind, and taste buds. Cheap considering what you get. For example an order of pancakes is about $12 and they are the size of rims on cars, and best of all, YOU GET 3! One of the three is plenty for one person. I must also recommend the kalua pulled pork sandwich, which was, probably the best pulled pork I have ever had. Great find. Only 4 stars because the alcoholic beverages were especially weak.

  • Ray L.

    I think 2 stars is generous. This place was on Man vs Food so my family and I went there. On the TV show it was full of locals so I figured it must not be bad! They must have told all the employees to tell your local friends to come down for the TV shoot because when I went there were only a few tourist that didn't know better. Food is decent but way overpriced. We had breakfast there. My breakfast consisted of 4 quarter sized pieces of portugese sausage, 2 eggs and toast and nothing else, no potatoes, and it was $16. For 24 hour dining go to Wailana at the other end of Waikiki or for my kids favorite pancakes Like Like Drive In on Keaumoku. Not 24 hours but Rainbow drive in on Kapahulu is about a 15 minute walk from Mac 24.
