2005 'ILIMA AWARD WINNER - BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT

In the 10th anniversary year of the 'Ilima Awards, these are the restaurants that turned the heads of our readers and our in-house food experts.



BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT
Zippy's

You couldn't do a Hawai'i restaurant guide without Zippy's in it, not if you wanted to accurately represent the way we really eat. Zippy's outlets — family restaurants that encompass takeout windows, bakeries, bars and full dining rooms in various configurations — are so much a part of the landscape here that Zippy's chili tickets are a popular fundraising feature, and the chain does a booming online business in packaged foods for homesick Islanders elsewhere. Although the chain pioneered efforts to create more healthful local-style fast foods, chili with hot dogs and rice, hamburger curry, won ton saimin and deep-fried cutlets with gravy remain favorites.
