About DEAN'S DRIVE-IN


While it's hard to find an authentic, rustic old-school drive-in these days, magnify that by 100 when it comes to the island of Hawaii and Dean's Drive-In. That is why we continue to recommend Dean's Drive-In every chance we get. It one of the best legitimate and authentic Drive-In's left around today. Not just in Hawaii but across the USA in our foodie travel experience over the past four decades. Dean, the owner and head Chef at Dean's Drive-In is a 'local boy serving up local food', as he likes to put it. When you get to Dean's Drive-In, you'll find plenty of specials everyday, new menu items added all the time and lots of fresh Fish for those Seafood lovers out there in Triple-D land. At Dean's Drive-In, you have the option to dine in, take out or even have them cater one of your special events while in Kaneohe. Once you make your way to Dean's Drive-In, you must try their signature Ahi Cakes, Pan Fried Ono Fish with Shoyo Ginger as well as their Teri Beef special which is a must in our advice. However, it is with tearful eyes we must report that it was brought to our attention that Dean's Drive-In has closed their doors in 2022. With high cost of foods and supplies, it was no longer possible to remain open and they had to close their doors for a final time July 10th. With almost 16 years of incredible service, they will be sorely missed. We wish Dean the best in his future endeavours and life journeys.
