Diamond Head Market and Grill

Last weekend we headed off to Diamon Head Market and Grill for breakfast since it’s pretty much in our backyard, and we had a few fantastic lunch sessions.  And since you have to eat outside, it was a good opportunity to bring our dog too.

I ended up getting the roast pork hash with an over-easy egg on brown rice.  My girlfriend got the fried rice (also brown rice) with scrambled eggs and portuguese sausage (the meat for me of course).  Both plates included, I guess what you could call cornbread, but it was sweet and had some subtle coconut topping.

Both plates were really delicious.  It didn’t cost us too much…about $20 total.  The roast pork hash was very delicious, with nice chucks of potato and a great crispy crust.  The over-easy egg was also really good, and the brown rice was surprisingly a perfect compliment to the dish.  Her fried rice was definitely one of the better ones I’ve eaten, and the portion was LARGE.  And being that it was brown rice, I was quite surprised how great it worked out with fried rice.

So what do I not like about this place?  The Market that is connected to the grill is WAAAY to expensive.  I got two drinks, Arizona Iced Tea and a French sparkling lemonade.  That set me back almost $5.  I can see how the food there might be expensive because it looks all fresh, but the drinks?  I know Arizona Iced Tea is 89 cents almost everywhere.  I suggest buying your own drinks and bringing it over to save some money.  But besides that, this is a great place to eat breakfast.

They are located at 3158 Monsarrat, which is pretty close to the Zoo.  Go check it out!
