On the Side

Eggs ‘n Things has been a must-go destination for decades, reeling in droves of tourists and locals alike with a varied menu that features traditional American breakfast foods with local favorites.

The restaurant was opened in 1974 by Jerry and Jan Fukunaga, a husband-and-wife team who had a passion for making tasty food with fresh ingredients. Jerry was a fisherman, and he started out by serving the fish that he would catch. Both Jerry and Jan were very health-conscious, which influenced the way they created their dishes.

“They always put a healthy spin on many of the dishes,” says general manager Michael Skedeleski. “Their goal was to serve quality food with the spirit of Aloha.”

Those founding ideals have carried over through the years, as the restaurant continues to use fresh ingredients.

“Pretty much whatever we get delivered that day goes out that day, including our eggs and produce,” Skedeleski says.

While keeping in touch with its roots, the restaurant also strives for innovation, as well. Currently, Eggs ‘n Things chefs are in the process of creating new dishes, including seasonal fish dishes and a chicken dish for dinner. Plus, Eggs ‘n Things has a set of rotating specials, including the Fresh Papaya Sour Cream Crepe ($12.95).

Today, in honor of the Honolulu Marathon, Eggs ‘n Things offers protein shakes available in a variety of flavors, including Banana Peanut Butter, Pineapple Banana and Strawberry Banana ($5 each). Today’s special is a Tofu Vegetable Omelet ($11.95).
