Sandwich Restaurants in Hawaii – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Sandwich Restaurants in Hawaii

When Guy Fieri brought the Triple D tour bus to the Hawaiian Islands, he uncovered a sandwich scene as diverse and vibrant as the archipelago itself. From 2010 to 2021, five local gems earned their spot in Flavortown, showcasing everything from creative subs to gourmet hot dogs with an island twist. These eateries have impressed both locals and visitors alike, earning an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars.

Among the standouts, Le Yellow Sub in Hilo leads the pack with a stellar 4.7-star rating, while Brigit & Bernard’s Garden Cafe in Kahului and Hank’s Haute Dogs in Honolulu tie for second with 4.5 stars each. Spread across five cities from the Big Island to Oahu, these sandwich spots represent the best of Hawaiian culinary creativity. While two have since closed their doors, three continue serving up the bold flavors that caught Guy’s attention. Whether you’re craving a loaded sub or an elevated take on the classic hot dog, these island favorites prove that Hawaii’s sandwich game is anything but ordinary.
