McDonald’s Hawaii offers a special menu of items you can only find in Hawaii. There are breakfast platters loaded with Spam and Portuguese sausage, a dessert menu with hot haupia (coconut pudding) and taro pies, fried apple pies (only state where you can get the pies fried in the US!), and much more. Below are our favorites, ranked.
HONOLULU — In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard.
As a frequent patron of McDonald’s Restaurants of Hawaii, I always welcome any new additions to the menu, to keep my visits interesting. This past week, I visited the McDonald’s across from Waikiki Beach and saw this: Seen at the one near Waikiki Beach, March 2019. That’s right — for a limited-time, you can buy pineapple at McDonald’s!
Important Note: At McDonald’s, we take great care to serve quality, great-tasting menu items to our customers each and every time they visit our restaurants. We understand that each of our customers has individual needs and considerations when choosing a place to eat or drink outside their home, especially those customers with food allergies.

Special Menu at McDonald’s Hawaii. McDonald’s Hawaii offers a special menu of items you can only find in Hawaii.

There are many places to eat saimin in Hawaii (you can even find saimin at 7-11, but my go-to is Zippy’s ), and McDonald’s offers a solid version that will do in a pinch. They also cover all the essential saimin toppings: kamaboko (fish cake), char siu, sliced egg, and seaweed. Only thing missing is the green onion!
Saimin is Hawaii’s answer to ramen. I enjoy saimin more than ramen because it’s lighter (and won’t make you feel all tired and heavy after) but just as flavorful. Ramen soup is made out of a dashi-based broth, and the noodles are wheat noodles. There are many places to eat saimin in Hawaii (you can even find saimin at 7-11, but my go-to is Zippy’s ), and McDonald’s offers a solid version that will do in a pinch.
The Waikiki locations of McDonald’s Hawaii occasionally has fresh cut pineapple on the menu. Once in a big while, all the McDonald’s Hawaii locations bring back the McTeri Deluxe (which is a big teriyaki burger) for a short period. The special Hawaii menu items are listed alongside the regular menu item, so you have to look carefully to spot …
It’s really good, the haupia is all hot and molten, and that fried pie crust is familiar in all the right ways. They also make Fried Taro Pies! But you’ll never find both Fried Haupia Pies and Fried Taro Pies on the menu at the same time. It’s always one or the other, and they keep rotating them back and forth….
What is the weirdest thing in Hawaii?
5. Saimin (noodles in soup) Saimin is one of the weirdest items on the menu in Hawaii. Not only is it barely advertised, but it’s also fairly expensive for a bowl of soup noodles.
Seen at the one near Waikiki Beach, March 2019. That’s right — for a limited-time, you can buy pineapple at McDonald’s! This is fortunate for those of you visiting Hawaii who can’t manage to find pineapple at any restaurant, any grocery store, or heck, maybe even on the side of the road in North Shore :D.
The restaurant is one of my favorites because it combines low cost and a variety of tastes. One of the greatest qualities of McDonald’s is that it is franchised and the flavor is standardized — a cheeseburger you eat in New York will taste the same as a cheeseburger you get in Moscow!
How much spam does Hawaii consume?
It’s been a hit ever since World War II. Isle residents consume more than 5 million pounds of Spam a year, an average of about six cans for every man, woman and child.
Spam “musubi” — a slice of Spam atop a block of rice and wrapped in seaweed — is an island favorite sold at nearly every convenience store, including 7-Eleven. Spam fried rice is a local classic. There are also more varieties of Spam sold in Hawaii than anywhere else. There’s Spam Garlic, Spam Bacon, Spam with Cheese, Spam with Tabasco, …
Burger King is offering the Spam Platter, consisting of two slices of Spam nestled between a bed of white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam. Denise Yamauchi, Burger King managing director in Hawaii, said sales have been “very good and very promising.”.
Hoping to cash in… HONOLULU — In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard. Hoping to cash in on Hawaii’s love affair with the pinkish meat product, Burger King last month began offering Spam for breakfast — going head-to-head with rival McDonald’s, …
