This episode was a lot of fun and I'm STILL full from all this amazing food. If you are ever this way, PLEASE add these places to your list. You will not be disappointed. Mahalo for watching! 😎🤙🏾
I love this - Mahalo, Dwayne for bringing this to our attention! I will definitely try these places out, especially "dippy-dip" tapas/pupus with those sauces!
😂😂😂You know...I keep finding such good food here! And I try to be cool about it but sometimes it's so good I just can't even help myself. I gotta let the head drop. lol
😂😂I wanted to roll in incognegro. That breakfast burrito was amazing! I'm so glad you made me get the guac salsa...I don't like guac, but I mopped that up! lol
Thank you so much for this video!! The next time I’m in Oahu, I definitely will visit these restaurants because this is great to hear that we have some brothers and sisters that own restaurants or any type of business on the Hawaiian islands !! I am from Los Angeles, California, but I have property on the big island on the Hilo side east. So the next time I visit Oahu, I will be looking for these restaurants and I’m gonna put this in my download so I don’t forget thank you Mahalo.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
Aloha! Thank you so much for the kind message. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I too love supporting black owned local businesses too! I love to support local! So many good options!
new places to try, thanks. you left out, irie jerk, jamanican on bishop in town. Ox tail stew is good along with jerk chicken and dont forget to ask for the jerk sauce.
Thanks for highlighting small or lesser known businesses. I haven’t heard of any of these restaurants before. I thought Hughleys was the only soul food here. I live on the windward side so I never have the chance to eat in town anymore, but I definitely want to eat at alll these places on my next family staycation. Whewww everything looks amazing!
I went to a Soul food Jazz restaurant on Maui. Fabulous. The food , the vibe, the food, the music . He had been a soldier on leave . Never returned to the mainland. Made it work. Homesick for fried chicken , greens, yams and Mac and cheese. So. He opened a restaurant and the musicians began to come thru… there you have it. Open your minds, open your hearts Black people . Banish the self doubt and the white supremacist colonizer heritage. Just dump it. Life is elsewhere ❤
Mahalo for watching! I appreciate you. Southern Love really is that place! It's one of my faves on the island for sure and that's from the bottom of my heart.
There was a place in Wahiawa a few years back called Molly's Smokehouse that had a trailer sized grill out front that was really good. I don't recall where that sister was from, but her food was great! I don't know what happened to her or the place. I was eating there once and a news flash came on the tv saying a plane went down in the Hudson river!
@@dwaynearoundtown...For Real, Dwayne! I live Wahiawa & Ohana Subs is Head/Shoulders better'n Subway. Menu offerings are smaller, different meats. But bread is Fresher/Bigger & Must sample papaya seed dressing?! No can tell you Everything! Just gotta try for yourself! -lol...Another place Must try is Storto's...one on Queen st/Theo Davies bldg & original store in Haleiwa, across Aji Limo/Malama Market
@@harrymiram6621 I have family coming to the island in a few days and we're going to try Ohana Subs. Papaya seed dressing and all! Hoooo Storto's too?? I'm writing this all down so I can try that too! I can't wait! I'ma let you know! Looks meannnn! Do you have any food recommendations in the Waipahu area? I have a friend that just moved there but I live in town so I know more places town side. Big mahalo! You made my night! 😎🙏🏾
Thanks for the intel… I’m in Oahu a couple times a year. And I love it! I’m going to make sure that my lady and I check out these places. Good lookin out!
My dude you missed the BEST. Go hit up Hughleys Southern Cuisine in Aiea Town Square. Owned by a retired Navy master chief submarine culinary specialist. It's just amazing.
Dwayne! I can’t wait until you drop the next video (hope it’s soon) to congratulate you on 1K subscribers 🎉 This is awesome and I’m so proud of you! Continue doing your thing!❤
Those ribs and Mac and cheese looked to die for! Omg I’m dreaming about that meal and I will also be getting the banana pudding, peach cobbler and sweet tea! This will be #1 on my must eats when we come back next year❤
Brendaaaa!!! Yes...the ribs and the mac and cheese is top tier! Please make sure to go by when you are back on island. Let me know when you go and I'll meet you there! 😉❤
Oh...it was so good! I had to start going to the gym regularly because all this good food was sticking to me. 😂 I feel like I'm in SW Atlanta when I'm eating this food!
Keep going 💪🏾 ✨️ I myself want to know more about the black community here as a newcomer. I'm on many Facebook groups but would love to know where the spots are around town. I'm in the know with AfroAloha she does events as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Listennnn! I feel you! I was just at Southern Love again last weekend! lol I keep it in rotation! 😂It feels like I'm at my Grandmother's house. I walk out ready to lay down.
Honestly who cares if it’s black owned? I don’t care if it’s “black owned”, “filipino owned”, “hawaiian owned”, “samoan owned”. Give me good food, and good service!!! That’s ALL that matters!!! Good service and good food is what I’ll spend my hard earned money on.
You know what's funny? I didn't realize I said certain things so much until I got on camera. My dad told me I said "amazing" all the time...I also say "Listen" a lot too. "Cute" is just one of those words that got a hold on me.
This episode was a lot of fun and I'm STILL full from all this amazing food. If you are ever this way, PLEASE add these places to your list. You will not be disappointed. Mahalo for watching! 😎🤙🏾
Who was here when Dwayne had only 200 plus subs! Now look at you on the road to 1k! Congratulations boo!
I just noticed!! This is awesome! Congrats Dwayne 🎉❤

Yep yep
Awww thank you! 🙏🏾❤ Isn't that a trip? I got a message from TH-cam once I hit 1k. It's very very cool!
I've lived here in Honolulu over 25yrs and didn't know there are so many black owned biz. I will definitely support all of them.
I love this - Mahalo, Dwayne for bringing this to our attention! I will definitely try these places out, especially "dippy-dip" tapas/pupus with those sauces!
Catfish Corner and Southern Love!!! OMG!!! Enjoyed the video ❤
You know all about these places, huh? 😉❤
lol, when you gently close your eyes and drop you head …I’m like yesssssssssss, it’s good! Alohaaaaaaa
😂😂😂You know...I keep finding such good food here! And I try to be cool about it but sometimes it's so good I just can't even help myself. I gotta let the head drop. lol
wow Dwayne thank you for this! Next time I'm in OAHU I will visit some of these places!
You're very welcome! I hope you have time to visit one of these spots next time you're here. It's so worth it!
This might be one of THE ones; whew!!! 🤤
Mahalo! I appreciate you! I'm still full from recording all of this! I didn't eat the next day after this because I was so full! lol
Thank u for the video. We’re visiting Oahu in January and will try and visit all of these places. Please Keep posting your videos
Mahalos for the shout out! Gotta say you were pretty slick cause I didn’t notice you were filming Dwayne 😂

Yooooo Jelan!! Big mahalo for watching! Appreciate you, brah! 😎🤙🏾
I miss Jawaiian Jerk... You need to check Donnie's BBQ at the end of Waipahu going towards Kapolei/UH West.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the crepes! Hope to see you again soon! 🙏🏾😎
I swear I’ve seen you before!! My mom saw catfish corner but it wasn’t open 😅
The food is incredible.
Wishing they were in SW Atlanta.
Oh...it was so good! I had to start going to the gym regularly because all this good food was sticking to me. 😂 I feel like I'm in SW Atlanta when I'm eating this food!
Keep going 💪🏾 ✨️ I myself want to know more about the black community here as a newcomer. I'm on many Facebook groups but would love to know where the spots are around town. I'm in the know with AfroAloha she does events as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
I would love to see the black owners and hear their story about how they got started.
Bro looks like a skinny Luther Vandross right now but if he keeps up on all that delicious food ,he’ll be big Luther in no time! .
Prices look pretty decent
Yep. Can't choose between them? Get both.
Ooooooooh! That Soul food is calling me!
Listennnn! I feel you! I was just at Southern Love again last weekend! lol I keep it in rotation! 😂It feels like I'm at my Grandmother's house. I walk out ready to lay down.
Rick’s Jerk is so good but I found out they’re not in business anymore 😭
😊🤙🏿🌴
😎🤙🏾
If you do not mind me asking, are you a veteran?
Honestly who cares if it’s black owned? I don’t care if it’s “black owned”, “filipino owned”, “hawaiian owned”, “samoan owned”. Give me good food, and good service!!! That’s ALL that matters!!! Good service and good food is what I’ll spend my hard earned money on.

“Black Owned?” 🤔
I know a hater when I see one
@@busybeatravels- Not a Hater. Just questioning why the title says, "Black" owned.
I found the 'slow leak' Mzungu in the chats.......
He from cali lol give him a break
@@busybeatravels I will ride with you any day! ❤
You're either Ohana or aren't. Skin color isn't relevent.
Still a racial thing. Sad.
