Families around the state are looking forward to Fourth of July feasts, and Big City Diner takes the stress out of meal planning with a couple of hearty holiday specials for the July 3-5 weekend.
Enjoy a 4th of July Weekend Breakfast Family Pack ($59.99) that serves a family of up to five people. Included in the meal are 10 pieces of Ani’s Awesome Cinnamon Bread French Toast; scrambled eggs; 10 breakfast sausage links and Portuguese sausage pieces; six scoops of steamed white rice and roasted macadamia bread pudding with haupia cream sauce for dessert.
Celebrating in the afternoon or evening? Opt for the 4th of July Weekend Family Rib Pack ($84.99) that serves three to four people. It’s a meat-lovers dream that features a full rack of baby back ribs (that’s 12-13 bones); 10-12 spicy guava-BBQ chicken wings; a pound of Hawaiian rock-salt spicy-garlic soy beans; Tutu’s large Caesar salad with local roma tomatoes; and 2 pounds of roasted-garlic mashed potatoes. The restaurant’s famous bread pudding tops it all off as a sweet treat.
Pig & Peas in a Haystack
Orders for either 4th of July pack must be placed at least two hours before pickup. Call the location nearest you to find out more or order online.
There are also big things planned for weekday diners, including a Thursday deal that’s perfect for families. Keiki up to age 10 can eat for free from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., as long as an adult at their table purchases an entrée priced at $12 or more and a drink. Favorites for young ones include Mr. Chipper, a chocolate chip pancake delight; Pig & Peas in a Haystack, featuring diced ham, green peas and macaroni smothered in cheddar cheese; as well as Mama’s Homemade Meatloaf.
