Hawaiian Twisted Tater

We visited the Hawaiian Twisted Tater truck today at our visit to Eat the Street in Kapolei. We ordered a large cheesy bacon ranch twisted Tater and they did not disappointe! It was loaded with gooey golden goodnes over crispy potatoe tendrils that we devoured in no time flat! I have to take the kids to the next one so that they can try this delicious treat.

** UPDATE** This was for the new one in Schofield. Apparently after created the new business, Unilocal thought I was mistaken and put it here…
Walking by, the twisted chips called to me so I had to try this place out. I was a little disappointed that they only offered chicken as their meat but the sides we good enough for me to give them a go.
I ordered the regular chicken tender plates (comes with 4 pcs) instead of the chicken sliders and chose fried okra and their bacon cheddar ranch chips as the sides, cost $ 10. They also offer southern green beans, garlic parmesan corn, and waffle fries as sides. I chose the Hula sauce and ranch dipping sauces. They just ran out of chicken so I had to wait 5 mins for a new batch of chicken tenders which was okay since I appreciate freshly fried chicken!
The chicken was pretty good. The batter is light and the chicken was tender. The pieces were bigger than expected and thick! The chips were on point! They were perfectly crisp and not overly seasoned. I think next time though I will ask for the cheddar on the side just because I don’t like too much cheddar… thats just me though. The fried okra was good but I thought it was on the salty side. Some like it salty, but not I. The batter was a good covering, but again just too salty for my taste (as well as some of my co-​workers).
They also offer drinks to include lemonade and SWEET TEA! I did not get to try it as I had my Starbucks tea, but I will next time. I love me some sweet tea, and you can’t really find sweet tea too many places on this island. You can also order just the fries for $ 7 (which is what I will probably do next time) and a kids plate for $ 5.
All in all, I think I will be back here again although I will skip the okra unless they change their batter. I thought they were well priced for the amount and quality of food. The staff was friendly and they accept credit cards!

I’ve tried Twisted Tater before at Eat the Street, and I remembered it being delicious, in a stoner-​food, need-​to-​run-​20-​miles-​but-​worth-​it, type of way.
Last time I tried it was at this special event in Ewa Beach in the new Hoakalei area. Unfortunately the batch I got only sounded good in theory (¹⁄₃ chili cheese, ¹⁄₃ bacon and cheddar, and ¹⁄₃ furikaki mayo)
First couple bites were yummy! But I soon realized that only the toppings were warm. The chips themselves were cold and seemed to have been cooked a while ago. So the grease made them soggy and not as crispy.
Wish their consistency was better, but I’d probably try them again in the future (I just can’t stay away from anything potato). Also, $ 10 was a little steep…

I’ve always seen the Hawaiian Twisted Tater tent at events and the Makeke farmers markets but never took the dive to try it. So tonight my family and I finally did and are happy to have done so. We ordered a Chili Cheese Tater Tray for our appetizer. Talk about yum! It’s the happy medium between chips and fries smothered in cheesy goodness. Can’t get better than that. I just wish they had a permanent location to be able to go to for a fix! Next time we’re definitely going to try the Bacon Cheese Ranch tray or maybe the bbq pulled pork tray. Both look deelish! For $ 7 you get a good heaping tray so that price is pretty good and they don’t skimp on the toppings. You won’t find naked taters so that’s a good thing. Good job guys! See ya next time!

Not quite a chip. Not quite a french fry. But I still liked it. I got the tater stick with salt garlic pepper seasoning. Very tasty, best enjoyed while still warm.

First time I tried it was at Kapolei High School/​Makeke farmer’s market. I was curious because there was a large crowd gather around. I got tried their bacon ranch tater tray. It was a cheat day why not and it was awesome I savored every piece and licked the tray!!!

Had the Eat The Street BBQ tray. OMG I want more!!! Hoping to get more there soon on base!

I have had seen. them at a local event but line was so long and decided to try them out at Hickam AFB. The. chicken slider is very good and. reminds me. of back home. I enjoy their hula sauce. I recommend their slider plate
beans. The chips have overall been
me and fresh however.if.you let them. sit for a long time.they.wlll become soggy from the cheese.
I waited. about 10 minutes with overall good customer service. I will be returning.

They deserve no stars! I mean learn how to keep your food warm and serve up fresh chips not soggy super greasy ones. The sliders were good because the chicken had great flavor but the plate itself was small as he’ll. The mac is amateur style and was bland as a wooden spoon!

I am highly unimpressed by the quality and service.
I felt like the woman taking my money should have said, «Soggy, cold twisted chips with oil coming right up!»
She didn’t even speak nor have a smile when we ordered. I should have known to take back our tray and ask for FRESH chips instead of chips that have been sitting for who knows how long.
Gross.

Let me start off by saying that Hawaiian Twisted Tater’s chicken plate is to die for… I am a regular customer at the Iriquois Point Farmers Market and I have yet to be unimpressed by the quality of their food!

Trio Sampler and 2 hot dogs!!! Pretty awesome!!! First time having furikake and mayo on taters!!!

OH. MY. GAWD. I don’t know how they do it, but this is the best potato I’ve ever had! I also tried The Splurge tray, which was also yummy. But the Tater Stick is the absolute BEST!

We had Hawaiian Twisted Taters at the 4^th of July Celebration on Pearl Harbor. They had a new kind that we hadn’t tried before. They were topped with pulled pork and barbecue sauce. I think it might be my favorite yet. Yum. We were told they serve this kind of Thursday nights at the Kapolei Farmers market. We’ll definitely be going there to have them again.

I went here first at Eat the street and waited for this delicious looking thing! I had the splurge and it was great! I found out that they were also in Kapolei on Thursdays, so now I am a repeat customer! Twisted chips are delicious and crunchy… When I have gotten the bag they last for a day and still taste good. They are very nice and have not had bad service ever. She now remembers my order. My favorite is the bbq pork splurge and garlic parmesan bag. Prices are reasonable. My friends are also big fans!

Currently at the Ho’olaulea and lemme say my experience was ruined as soon as it began. Seeing this for the first time I was excited but, the service was seriously lacking. The one girl in the front gave no smile and she was obnoxious and rude. Soggy chips. Never.Ever.Again

When your at an Eat the Street event be prepared to buy what your senses see and smell. Of course my kids wanted to be a part of the sprinkles of people holding the spiral thingies on a stick among the crowd. I have purchased different items on different occasions and on every occasion someone asks what we are eating and how it tastes.
What is it?
TATER STICK:
Plain and simple it’s a potato cut in to a spiral shape, pinned with a stick, and deep fried. Yeah, you are paying for the novelty of it all. You can choose different flavors. Check out my pictures for the different selections. I tried the tater stick a few times and each time it came out soft. My kids like it but I prefer it crunchy. I tried something like this a few years ago. We have tried the Cheezy Cheeder, which by the way tasted plain. The other flavor we tried is the salt and garlic pepper. My kids and I enjoyed it. This flavor added enough spruce to liven up the potato.
TATER TRAY: Yummy!
It’s deep fried potato chips pimped out with different toppings to choose from. The tater tray chips are crunchy.
The names speak for it self.
1. Chili Cheese Tater Tray
2. Hot Dog Tater Tray (I’m surprised this thing comes with 2 hot dogs on a stick!) Wowzeer: O
3. Bacon Ranch Tater Tray

My favorite out of the three is the Bacon Ranch Tater Tray. Bacon just makes everything better! It comes with a decent amount of chips. The only down fall is that if you don’t eat it quick enough the cheese and ranch make the chips soggy. So plan to inhale this beauty to enjoy it to it’s full potential. Your gonna regret waiting to eat at home.
PINEAPPLE LEMONADE:
It’s a good drink that goes along well with the tater stick or tater tray. It’s pineapple juice, lemonade (it’s powder), and sprite mixed together.
