    Once again, we had an outstanding dining experience (lunch) at the Haliimaile General Store! Started with corn chowder soup, excellent! Had the short rib and fish and chips! Both dishes were fantastic! Great French fries!! Shared the pineapple upside down cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert! Award winning!! Our server, Dale, was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and made the overall lunch even better! We will continue to go back again and again!

    We had such a very nice dinner which started with being greeted by our very personable waiter Frank. He gave us some great suggestions. We ordered the barbecue ribs with a side of whipped purple, sweet potatoes to share. Coleslaw, ribs potatoes all were delicious. We ended the meal with the pineapple upside down cake, always a favorite.  The manager stopped by our table extending further welcome.  Really enjoyed the evening.
