    Want to try more than one relish, ask for them on the side. The spicy sauce isn't that spicy -- You can do it! Also don't be a fool....get the Hawaiian mustard.

    mango relish! light natural sweetness with a tang. if you like spicy, get the hot chili pepper, it's only about a 2.5 on a scale of 10. coconut relish is also good but much sweeter. amazing bun!

    This isn't a Hawaiian Hotdog. Awesome polish sausage in a fresh bun with a variety of relishes. Unique and a must have. Best of all, Papalani Gelato is next door.

    So freakin' good! The pineapple and coconut mix well together. Spicy and hot won't burn ya at all and the mustard is delish. Be sure to try the lemonade and onion chips, too!

    Spicy garlic lemon sauce isn't too spicy. The pineapple relish and lilikoi mustard is the best way to finish off the polish sausage. They take credit card now, too!

    Good spot for a quick bite. Expect a line but it moves fast as these guys have making hot dogs and lemonade down to a science. Watch the magic unfold!

    Get the Polish Sausage (Clearly), unless you're vegetarian. The Spicy option barely had any heat. The Coconut Relish was really good.

    The lilikoi relish is tangy and sweet just perfect. Try the fresh lemonade, and Maui onion chips! 😃

    Seriously delicious. The spiciest sauce is not that spicy, but it is delicious. Both the pineapple and mango relishes are awesome.

    Polish sausage with spicy, mango relish, lilikoi mustard and passion fruit lemonade. Going back for another round before I leave the island.

    Unforgettable hot dogs. The mustard they use is just so awesome. Not your typical hotdog sandwich.

    Super amazing quick eat located in a shopping plaza that also doubles as a time machine back to the 1970s. This is a positive thing

    They also offer vegetarian dogs. Either way, do coconut relish & lilikoi mustard. 🌺

    They have habanero relish that's not on the menu - really nice - must try if you like spicy things! Pair with Hawaiian mustard and a fruity relish of choice.

    If you go by this place, you must stop and have a Puka Dog. Watch out, the line can be very long if you go by during lunch time.

    The lemonade is really good, not to mention the dogs! I had the coconut relish on my first trip. Going to try the pineapple next time.

    They now have access for credit cards, but bring cash just in case. Totally worth the drive from North Shore.

    Amazing. Best thing I've ever eaten. Plus the best lemonade on earth. I would become very fat if I lived near there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

    As this week's mayor, I recommend polish sausage, hot sauce (not even that hot), pineapple relish, lilikoi mustard. Done. Delicious.

    Having the menu on a surfboard sets the mood for this inventive way to serve a hot dog, put a hole in the middle of the bun. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts

    The chile/spiciest sauce isn't very hot. If you like heat, don't hold back; be sure to get the chile over jalapeno.
