“Our breakfast menu is unique to Ruby Tuesdays (in Hawaii) and (is) very diverse and reasonably priced,” notes co-owner Rick Nakashima.

The company’s partners Nakashima and Ted Davenport are local boys from Hawaii Kai, who attended Kaiser High and University of Hawaii at Manoa, so they know what locals like.

For example, Ruby Tuesday Hawaii breakfast choices include an abundance of selections such as loco moco, fried rice and eggs, Steak and Eggs, Benedicts, specialty pancakes, waffles, French toast and healthy fruit bowls.

Hamburger Steak Plate ($13.99)

Along with ono, everyday menu items, Ruby Tuesday Hawaii locations also offer specials. Nakashima shares the triple Prime beef patty has returned for the month of August with a “Triple Triple Prime Month” promotion.
