We ate at Big City Diner twice while in Kailua. Huge portions, good prices. Loved the wings (interesting delicious bbq sauce). Calamari appetizer got mixed reviews - it was thickier than we're used to, kind of like fish sticks. Burgers were very good and the fries were delicious (crispy but not greasy).

I have been to many diners, BCD has got to be the best one yet. The portions were huge. The freshest and best french toast you will ever have. The fried rice with eggs is also outstanding.
