Great local diner. Great selection of breakfast lunch and dinner. They make great pies and the over all menu is very local. It is a great experience for the local flavor. Very different than the tourist places. This pocket of the island has a unique flavors.

Update: Reminder: CASH ONLY. I went back and had the double meat fried rice plate with a side of homemade corned beef hash. Again, the service was super quick! The food was hot and delicious. So far 2/2 on my choices here. Original: I’ve driven past this spot so many times and never noticed it until today. It’s tucked away on a busy road. Service was really fast. The restaurant setting, although small, was comfortable. They do cash only. My onion rings were a bit burnt and the burger had a mushy texture but it was delicious and flavored well. Idk if I’d get it again unless I were craving a burger though. The parking spots right outside the restaurant are very TINY(my Prius barely fit in the stall) and the lot was busy. Still would go back and try other items on their menu!

Went to Tanya’s for the first time and it did not disappoint!! Went at 1pm and they were unfortunately out of chocolate cream pie but we were able to buy the last 2 custard pies and it’s the best custard pie we’ve had since Kaneohe bakery closed!!! So delicious and the crust was perfect!!! The custard wasn’t overly sweet like other places and was just so Ono we ate almost half the pie in the parking lot!! Will definitely be back again!! *pic is after first bite…

Truly filled with Aloha, this is a local gem. The staff is so friendly and were nice enough to take our order and allow us to dine in 10mins before closing. The steak plates were so ono and the single slice pies where a great grab and go. They have a vareity of menu and pie items. They even sell bag ice! Mahalo nui for making us feel so welcomed. We look forward tk the next dine in.

Tanya's Pies and Grill is a beloved local gem that offers delectable comfort food at an affordable price. It's no wonder this restaurant is a favorite among the community! The friendly and cheerful staff provide exceptional service, creating a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back for more. During our lunchtime visit, the place was bustling with patrons, yet the team managed to deliver our dishes promptly. Every meal was a delight, especially the scrumptious homemade pork lumpia that left us craving more. We couldn't resist grabbing a few slices of their famous pies to enjoy later as dessert. If you find yourself in the Wahiawa area, do yourself a favor and stop by Tanya's Pies and Grill. The delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service are guaranteed to make your visit a memorable one.

Really good breakfast spot. I usually get the fried rice special because who can’t beat the price and how good it is! But today I went with the hamburger steak, just as good and delicious. I also got a slice of pie but I ate it before I took a picture .
