Known for its Hawaiian, Dean’s Drive Inn in Kaneohe, Hawaii became a destination for food lovers after Guy Fieri pulled up for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, Dean’s Drive Inn has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 19, Episode 10 — an episode called “Island Flavor” that first aired in 2014.
Customers consistently rave about their experience — the restaurant holds a 4.5-star rating on Google across 259 reviews. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a major milestone for any restaurant. The show, hosted by Guy Fieri since 2007, has visited hundreds of restaurants across the country, shining a spotlight on the independent, owner-operated spots that define America’s food culture. For Dean’s Drive Inn, the DDD feature put Kaneohe, Hawaii on the culinary map for viewers across the nation.
Although Dean’s Drive Inn is no longer serving customers, its appearance on DDD remains a lasting tribute to the food and the people who made it special.
