6/28/2011 Family was visiting from the mainland and we decided to have dinner at Haleiwa Joes in Haleiwa. My family and I have been eating at the Kaneoehe and Haleiwa restaurants for years. I was pumped up as they have the best prime on the Island, I raved to everyone at work, ate a very light lunch preparing for the behemoth prime rib. We arrived at the restaurant about 5:30. I like the atmosphere, staff is friendly and drinks are good. I placed my order and THEY RAN OUT OF PRIME RIB. - Arggggh This is not the 1st time this has happened to me this is like the 6th time. I know you have to go there early but how early is early? I could see if the joint was packed or if I showed up late in the evening but to run out this early is unacceptable and getting old. You would think someone in management would say "Hey, 20 people asked for prime rib tonight and we ran out" Maybe, just maybe we should cook a little more to make them happy. Customers are sad and mad when we run out of our signature dish. This was just as bad as the time Sam Choy restaurant ran out of Aujus for their prime rib! Heck, they could have bought some from K-mart across the street. I will not be going back to my former favorite restaurant anymore. Going to Outback Steak House where they never run out of prime rib.
