Bear's Drive-In , first opened in 2003, offers Hawaii-style, local plate lunches with delicious, homemade flavors.  The quality of Bear's great food raises the standard of plate lunch cuisine with its healthy, non-greasy entrees.  The restaurant is named after Paul "Bear" Bryant, former coach of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team.

House specialties include tasty, home-style comfort foods such as Hamburger Steak (claimed to be the best in Hawaii), Chop Steak (a unique to Hawaii specialty of stir-fried onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and beef), Homemade Beef Stew, and Baked Mushroom Chicken, all excellent choices for lunch or dinner.  Combination Plates, Fried Chicken Meals and Curry Specials are also featured on the menu.  All plates come with macaroni salad, tossed salad and white rice (brown rice also available on request).  Roast beef and roast pork carved to order and topped with brown gravy are also on the menu.
