My husband and I went on our first trip up to north shore. He was quite excited to taste their coconut shrimp - but they ran out. He was extremely disappointed. He was flabbergasted that he didn't know what to get and ended up order the regular. So again he was disappointed - it was bland and nothing special. I... More

This is a must-go each time we've been to Oahu..yes, we have to drive to the North Shore, but it's worth it! We've tried the Garlic, Lemon Pepper, & Coconut. All delicious, but Garlic wins hands-down. We also tried Giovanni's down the road this last time, and I wish we hadn't..sorry for cheating on you Macky's..I will get a chance... More

We have found Andrew Doughty's guides on Hawaii to be very reliable and full of local knowledge. So when he recommended Macky's on our way to Hale'iwa, we tried it, and once again, he was spot on!. Now this is Shrimp Truck Dining, so you're outside on the picnic table. We LOVED the shrimp with lemon garlic sauce with rice.... More

Went based on all of the reviews and they did not dissappoint! Prawns were big and the garlic sauce was very good. I would have preferred that the prawns were already peeled down to the tail though at least - somewhat messy doing it yourself and you end up peeling off alot of the garlic sauce as well. Came with... More

3 weeks in Oahu included a once a week trip up to the north shore with full intention of stopping at Macky's for lunch. ( which did not happen until about 3pm) Each time Macky's delivered a "close your eyes and feel the yum" steaming hot plate of fresh farm raised shrimp, cleaned to perfection, large and white. Our only... More

We tried three of their four types of shrimp (they were out of the coconut shrimp) and liked them all. The shrimp are big and come with a salad and rice. It's a truck, so don't expect anything fancy, just a big plate of good shrimp.

We saw the reviews and decided to give this shrimp truck a try. It was before the noon rush and when the server (owner?) saw us coming, we could almost hear the deep sigh as she got up take our order. I asked her what her favourites were and she told us the three most popular items. I chose the... More

We saw the ad for for McKays just as we were stepping out of our hotel room, and decided we must go. To be honest I was very scared of eating food off a truck, but my god- I am GLAD I tried it. The garlic butter shrimp was just awesome. The portions are good enough for two, and there... More

We enjoyed the food but felt it was a little over priced simply because the shrimp wasn't cleaned properly. They leave the shell on although it is split done the middle it was hard to eat. We ordered the coconut,garlic and spicey shrimp and all were very tasty. The plares come with steamed rice and lettuce, no dressing. Didn't mind... More

We had heard about the coconut shrimp and decided they were worth making an extra drive. The surprise was that the Lemon Pepper Shrimp were awesome too. Good eats.
