Tropics Bar & Grill

Honolulu $$ ***
After roaming around Hilton Hawaiian Village, my friends and I ended up here for lunch. It is right on Waikiki Beach and was very crowded, so we told the hostess that we'd take the "next table available" i.e., the one with no ocean view. That was fine, since we're locals.
Typical Waikiki restaurant -- fun, slightly overpriced, and a little tacky due to its clientele (tourists). Since we were in Waikiki, we ordered the most blatantly "Hawaiian" dishes on the menu: saimin, loco moco, and a Hawaiian cobb salad. The loco moco was pretty good, but I don't have particularly high standards for loco moco. Hamburger patty, egg, rice, and gravy - what could go wrong? Since it was Waikiki, everyone was pretty happy there, and the service was friendly. Open-air and surprisingly dimly-lit towards the back.
