Zippy's opening a restaurant in Hilo!

[oink]

I don't know about today's Zippy's but they were quite popular when I lived on Oahu in the mid 70s. I usually got their saimin late night. As julieb said, they were fast food, Hawaiian style and were well loved. They had a very big menu even then, but all fast. Their fried chicken was pretty good too. They even had pizza, as I recall, but I don't think they still do. They were an institution even then but only had a very few stores. I actually only remember their being one but could have been one on the windward side too. The Zippy's I remember would do well in many places on the mainland, IMHO.
