IS There a friggin chance of finding Hawaiian - Tiki Drinks and Food

Most Poly Pop places serve Chinese food or barbecue, only a few serve anything remotely Hawaiian, though Hawaiian cuisine influences are getting to be more common with the newer Tiki places. It sounds like what you're looking for is a plate lunch joint, but my search for "plate lunch" and "Indianapolis" came up with nuttin'. I did find this place, though: http://www.konajacksindy.com It's not feed-the-masses plate lunch deliciousness, and their site doesn't say anything about catering. But it might fit the bill, and if you ask them nicely, they might be willing to tell you if there are any plate lunch places in town. Hope that helps!
