This graffiti-covered landmark serves up generous portions of garlic shrimp, spicy
shrimp, and lemon-butter shrimp that have earned cult status among locals and
visitors alike. The truck’s weathered exterior, adorned with countless signatures and
messages from fans worldwide, tells the story of decades serving simple, spectacular
seafood. Find the original locations in Kahuku and Hale‘iwa on the North Shore,
