As the most isolated population center on earth and a true melting pot of cultures, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the world’s greatest cuisine. But in order to taste some of the most mouthwatering food Hawaii has to offer, you must be willing to leave the resort areas and check out local hangouts like this one. 

Welcome to Plantation Tavern! Nestled off-the-beaten-path in Oahu’s Second City — Kapolei — this spot might be rather unassuming from the exterior, but inside, you’ll find some mighty delicious Hawaiian food on the west side.
