Surprised to see such high reviews. I got some chicken from them a few months ago and got really, really sick. They boast about being almost entirely gluten free, but my reaction was swift and unambiguous. I’m glad no one else has had a problem but for myself I won’t be trying again.

I got the Huli Huli chicken meal and I got rice instead of the Mac salad. There are only 2 items on the menu that are not gluten free and the serice was great and they were very understanding. It was delishis and celiac friendly I deffinetly recommend.

We were passing through this area and I did a little homework to try to find a safe restaurant for supper. This place was highly recommended by other celiacs, so I gave it a try. It was amazing!! The staff were super friendly and attentive and went into the kitchen to make sure everyone knew to be careful with my order. I had huli huli chicken and subbed fresh pineapple for the usual macaroni salad (only that salad and the chow mein noodles on the green salad are gluten). I finished the meal with a Dole whip, and all of it was amazing! I only wish we had them closer to home!!

Gluten free fast food!! This place is such a treat. Nearly everything is gluten free, except for 2 menu items. I had the rice, Huli huli chicken, and veggies. It was very good and fast!

Really excellent service and aware staff for celiac/cc protocols. They have an allergen menu inside that is clearly marked, and MOST of the menu is GF! I did not even have to ask for a glove change, Samantha up front was all over it before I even had a chance to ask!

Good experience here, I was able to go before they opened and they explained how everything works. Also went after the opened and it was busy, but over 24 hours I am not sick, so I feel confident eating here. Only the macaroni salad, which can be subbed for pineapple or veggies, and the chow mein noodles in the salad have gluten. Everything else is gluten free and tasty. I only wish that I could mark the order as being gluten free. All in all glad to have a good restaurant with friendly staff in O'Fallon.

Stopped on our way back home from Chicago. We're looking for affordable, tasty, and quick. (Hard to find for gluten free on the road). Hawaiian Bros delivered all three and more! :) $10-20/person. They can split your plate with two proteins if you prefer. I had the Honolulu and Malakai. Yum! Everything is gluten free except the macaroni salad and the mandarin orange salad. Including the condiments-they brought tamari packets to our table!!!!

They also have artisan root beer and cream soda, Hawaiian juices, etc.

The Dole soft serve is delicious-the twist combines strawberry and pineapple. It tastes like summertime!

Note: protein comes served on rice as well as having a side of rice.

Would go back for the dole pineapple whip, but the food itself wasn’t that great in my opinion, the chicken was dry and flavor wise was just okay.

Most menu items are GF (avoid Mac salad and salad option). Pretty safe just by the nature of how they prep the food (Mac salad is prepared separately, all grilled meats are GF).

Order at a kiosk, but they have allergen list at the main counter. The only item with gluten is the macaroni. I substituted it for veggies. The sauces don’t have gluten though, even the teriyaki. The meat tender and delicious! Fresh pineapple or GF and DF dole whip as dessert. Great and fast! Best of all, no sickness after eating. 👍🏼
