Reviews

Recently discovered this place and we are very happy we did. They kept it so old school. You don’t see this low prices anywhere this days and the food is great. Employees are all very nice and the food gets to you in no time.

I'm a careful eater now, but when I used to eat out(occasionally), it would be at Kandi's. In my opinion, the best sandwiches and shakes in town! Good customer service too. Not sure but I think the owner took orders a few times. Nice lady. Good food and service. What more does one need?

A great local drive-in. Nothing fancy but great food at a great price. We would definitely eat here again!

Me and my wife ate here a few days ago. She ordered and then I said I will have the same. There was a mistake and I was given saimin. The way the mistake was handled was very professional and friendly I was impressed. I give my thanks to the crew. The only complaint I can give is make sure you have cash as that is all they will take

First timer here and the service was great!! The front worker she’s very nice! The food came out quick. I had the Loco plate, fries and a drink. I was told they have the best fries and they absolutely do! Also if you plan on going, they only accept cash, which thankfully I did have on me.

We had the bacon cheeseburger and chicken loco plate and to say both were delicious would be an understatement. The bacon cheeseburger was so good we even ordered a 2nd one before leaving. The people working at Kandi’s were very nice and welcoming. You could tell that a lot of locals come to eat lunch here as well. Very happy we happened to drive by on our way to the volcano! PS - cash only! Will be coming back

Sweet little hole-in-the-wall type burger joint, did not disappoint. Nothing fancy, but good food and fast, polite service. A few tables outside, they also offer a lot of frozen meals for take out. Apparently there's a lunch special between 1-3pm as well.

You won’t find this place in your all inclusive. Loved this place. They don’t have a restroom, but you can cross the street to the gas station and use it there.
