Iron Grill Hawaii

"I went here for a year and it was good. My family and I all enjoyed it very much. I recommended IG but warned that the "cook" has attitude. After his wife (mystery lady in black mask) left him, everything went down hill. We went 5-6 times in a row and it was primarily just inedible gristle. He had a bad attitude each time we visited, he would ignore my husband's presence at the window, be short with each of us for no reason at all. We stopped going for months. Then many businesses closed and I don't eat raw meat so we weren't left with hardly any options for late dinners. When we went back, I texted him everytime NOT ALOT OF GRISTLE PLEASE and he would make decent plates when I texted this. Just 2 or so inedible bites... However. This last time, after waiting 35 min for my "food": literally every. single. piece was inedible. I could not tear them apart with my hands. I ate nothing but sauce and rice since it was 8pm and I hadn't ate all day. I returned to the "cook" and showed him this plate. He said "this is the quality I can get for the price. Baby learn how to cook your own food." Word for word. Lousy excuse for a cook. No apology, shame, or offer to remake the plate. I tossed the gristle plate into the food truck and walked away... If he knows his product is sub-par, he should make that known before taking my money (after he raised the price). We live Hawaii and its too expensive to waste on inedible plates. I have my own small business. I have kitchen and serving experience, and my husband is a cook. He works 12 hour shifts into the evening, so he is not home to prepare dinner. Criticize to yourself. I do not regret my action. Attached photo shows all the gristle I could not eat and the watery sauce. Every bite had gristle, I was not able to swallow 1 bite."

"Absolutely delicious, waited 30 minutes but the food was wonderful. Got Rib eye and shrimp!! Worth every penny"

"Very delicious food! We mentioned how we couldn't do spicy because of the baby and got the black bean garlic on the steak/shrimp and the chef kindly cut some of the steak n shrimp just for the baby! We didn't even ask and it was such a thoughtful gesture! Generous portions for the price as well. We LOVE garlic so it was perfect"

"What a delicious find in Waikiki. We talked to the chef a bit and he recommended to take the food to the Alo Moana beach park and eat there. As far as food goes, it’s something like Korean chipotle, where you add veggies to the rice/noodles and meat. Pictured are salmon with noodles, steak with broccoli and chicken with broccoli with spicy garlic sauce. Support the local businesses and enjoy iron grill."
