Gotta say this is going to be a weird one for me.... As we always do ("we" meaning, the wife and I), ordered food from time to time when we have days off together. Well, today we ordered from L&L Hawaiian BBQ and it was just an odd experience.
Sooo we ordered the Loco Moco and the Garlic Shrimp. Let's get this out of the way really quick... the garlic shrimp was amazing!!!!! Ok, now to the Loco Moco.... I have ordered from here but I believe it was a LONG time ago and I did order the Loco Moco last time, its my go too for Hawaiian food. We ordered online and ordered for "pick up". I walked into the restaurant and there was one person eating with one employee sitting behind the counter (in a chair). NO ONE ELSE AROUND. When you walk up to the counter you can see into the back to where I believe the cook should be cooking food??? Lol. The light was off and there was no cook, cooking food. I found that to be a bit odd.... besides that weirdness, I grabbed my food and drove my happy a** back home to devour my food =).
I opened the container and saw that the meat looked a little weird.. Almost like a microwave dinner burger. Super flat, floppy... not a lot texture to the burger. The wife and I split the meals and when my wife took her half of the Loco Moco. She took her bite into the burger and the first thing that came out of her mouth was that it taste like a TV dinner. This is what I remembered from the last time I ordered from L&L and it brought back memories. This all being said, I don't know if the burger is just precooked and they microwave the burger... but... the egg on there was perfect, so maybe that was cooked? ::shrugs::
I gotta say, I will be trying something else that is close to the house next time. I suggest if you order a Loco Moco, pick another Hawaiian food place. If you order anything else, I think you will enjoy your meal here. In the end, this probable should just be a Loco Moco review from L&L but its all I really order from Hawaiian places. Going to get three stars..... 4 if the burger was better... 5 would be if I saw other employees working there and a cook lol.
*** I guess this is an updated review***
I believe I picked 4 stars last time, I am going with 3 now because of the described above.... Just really odd the place had one employee sitting in a chair when I went in there... maybe they are going out of business or an extremely slow day... just led me to believe the food wasn't cooked but just microwaved... sucks and I hope I am wrong...
