Clean, new décor at this municipal golf course restaurant.  Has the look and feel more of a restaurant than say, a diner.
Service here was great. Â Servers constantly checking on us, making sure we are OK. Â
Why two stars? Â The food... Â I ordered a combo plate with teri-hamburger steak and pork chops. Â The hamburger steak was the worst I have ever had. Â This buggah was tough--hard as rock! Â Normally, I can break off a bite-size piece with my fork, but I had to use a knife for this hamburger steak! Â Holy cow! Â Needing a knife?! Â Portions were small for the price I paid.
The mac salad was substandard. Â The mayo had a curdling texture, lacking the smooth consistency of good mayo. Â Also, just macaroni & mayo? Â Plain... Â add some vegetable shavings, pls!
This was my second visit here. Â My first visit I was not impressed with the food. Â I decided to try here again before writing my review. Â Hmmm, two visits and two below-average experiences...
Of the munis that now have a restaurant, Ewa Villages Social Hour Inc has by far the best food. Â Ala Wai is a solid second while Pali's Fatboy's clearly rounds out the rear...
I came here for lunch with some family friends about two weeks ago, and to be honest, I didn't even know there was a Fatboy's on the Windward side of the island much less one at the Pali Golf Course. From what I know, the restaurant, which is located next to the driving range and across from the golf shop in the clubhouse, has been open for about a year. Perhaps it was the time of day and day of the week that we decided to drop by -- we got there around 12:30 p.m. on a Monday -- but there didn't seem to be a lot of people dining at the restaurant, so it was a really nice atmosphere to sit down talk story. This probably also worked to our advantage as well, because the service was pretty quick and the workers were very nice! I give them credit for letting us just sit down and chat away for two hours. I ordered the garlic chicken, which tasted just like the ones served at the Fatboy's restaurant next to Waikele Costco. The portions seemed to be a little smaller than I remembered, but I think everyone was pretty satisfied by the time we left -- I know I was.
