  I've been here several times recently and I gotta admit I really like this place for "local style" plate lunches.  I can't believe I've never been here before.  They offer burgers, sandwiches and basic style plate lunches or combination plates.  The lady is friendly to us as she recognizes us now when we walk in.  Service is quick, the establishment is clean, and the plate lunches are affordable in today's market.  The sad reality is now-a-days you can't find plate lunches for under $10 anymore, and the portions are huge, even for a mini.  I have co-workers that order a mini and they still have leftovers for dinner or lunch the following day.  We usually walk from the office, however, if you are driving, parking is strictly on street parking.  There is no parking lot.  Side note, they recycle plastic bottles and soda cans; a plus for the environment.
  
  I've never been here for breakfast but have seen my co-workers'.  Everything is under $5 except for the Breakfast Combo.  Their breakfast plates are also quite generous.  If you're ever in the Kakaako area and are looking for an affordable breakfast/lunch, tasty, with generous sized portions look no further.  You won't be disappointed.

  Convenient and reasonably cheap.  Don't expect much more then that with service.  But it is what it serves.  If you are in the kakaako neighborhood and want a cheap quick bite you should go.  
  
  I like the garlic chicken and breakfast plates

  This place is usually in my rotation of lunch spots in town, and I've been pretty satisfied by their plate lunches for a few years. However, I got the beef stew & crab rangoon late last week... and it was horrific. The crab rangoon was inedible because the filling had no flavor or cream cheese and was a weird orange color. The beef stew tasted like they took the carrot, potato and beef from another batch of stew and plopped it into tomato sauce and cooked it. It was sweet and tangy, not savory like beef stew should be! It was also an orange/reddish color, not the usual brown.
  
  I fear this place is becoming like many other restaurants in town: skimp as much as possible on food/ingredients to save money to pay the now astronomical rent prices. I hope I'm wrong and caught them on an off day, but I'll wait and see how long Queen's sticks around with all the gentrification.

  One of my favorite go to places when i crave fried chicken.  Love their fried chicken; it's crispy, moist, perfectly cooked all the way through and very tasty.  They have other local faves and plenty of choices on their menu.  Parking can be an issue, but there's street parking if you can find one.  But if you live or work nearby, i would recommend walking there.  This place is always busy during lunch time which is a good sign that people love their food.
