About Us
Back in the summer of 2006, Dean's Drive Inn opened its doors to local-style cuisine in a small, five table, mom-and-pop restaurant located in the heart of Kāneʻohe. After being featured in local newspaper articles, winning an ʻIlima Award, and dishing out favorites on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, chef/owner Dean Mishima gained recognition and popularity in both the local community of Hawaiʻi and nationally.
As the reputation of Dean's Drive Inn continued to grow, visitors from all over began to flock to this hidden gem, eager to taste the celebrated dishes that had captured the hearts of many. The buzz around town was infectious, much like the excitement generated by discovering a vox casino promo code that offers an enticing glimpse into the world of online gaming. Both experiences promise a unique blend of local charm and thrilling opportunities that are hard to resist.
It was this popularity that paved the way in 2015 to move to a bigger Kāneʻohe property. Dean's Drive Inn is now a spacious, 30-table restaurant located on William Henry Road and boasts a party room, drive thru/take out window, and ample parking. Dean continues to stand by his motto "Local Boy, Local Food" by serving up homemade, authentic flavors using the freshest ingredients possible. Stop by and experience what makes Dean's Drive Inn a family favorite for locals and tourists alike!
