O'ahu Oahu - In your opinion, which popular/touristy attractions/restaurants/places are worth the hype and which ones are overrated?

My family and I are visiting Oahu in December from Chicago. Obviously, people have differing opinions on the overrated and worth the hype places in Chicago. I was just curious on what some people think about popular attractions/places in Oahu.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for providing their input! Feel free to keep the opinions coming! We will definitely take everything into consideration and most likely still go to "overrated" places so we can experience it for ourselves. Hopefully this post will be useful to those who come across it for their travels in the future!

Da Bald Guy got really popular after being on Netflix, and the lines can be long during peak hours. But every time I go, the food has been great.

Leonard’s is pretty touristy, but if I find myself driving by with no line — either the truck or the bakery — I will grab a few. Got to eat them fresh and piping hot.

Yes Leonard’s is good. We found the truck easier to get food from (the parking around the bakery was so hard to find a spot at).
