Watched the 10 minute Kona Coffee Lantern Parade from the restaurant. Located right where the lantern parade started. Great crab cakes, aloi sauce too spicy for me but good. Good tea drink, just didn't taste the booze. Friendly staff where you were even asked by manager if food ok. Haven't been asked that in many years at a restaurant.

This was a surprise find. Though the locals were well acquainted!! :) The price is definitely right here, so was the service and it was a pretty standard but well executed breakfast. Lots of options and some really good local favourite varieties of loco moco. No view, not fancy, but good breakfast for decent price served by nice staff.

Stopped in for breakfast... very good, local food. Wasnât sure about the presentation because Iâm picky about my food touching. It was awesome though. Husband had the breakfast for champions .... he enjoyed it. Apparently Vienna sausages and spam is a thing ... he tried it and was pleased.

We stopped here for happy hour and enjoyed our drinks on the casual sand filled patio overlooking the water. The mai-tai's were some of the best I had all week. We ordered off the happy hour menu and had a fish taco and a slider. The food was just ok but the view was worth it. Free parking was a bonus!Thank you for stopping by for happy hour and posting your feedback. We agree, our Mai Tai's are some of the best around, thanks!! We hope you will join us for another mai tai or "toes in the sand" experience soon. Cheers!

Great food. We had the baby back ribs and the the chef selection fish (at the recommendation of our server Chad). Both dishes were fantastic. Our server was very friendly and the view is right on the water. I do recommend making a reservation if you want to sit closest to the water. We did not have one but were able to get a table close enough.Aloha Kim, thank you for joining us and leaving your feedback. We are thrilled you enjoyed your experience and we hit the mark for you. We hope you can join us again soon. Mahalo Nui Loa, Tina

We come to Kona quite frequently as my husband is with the airlines. We have always loved Fosters, they are sliding downhill. Last night it took 15 minutes for a server to acknowledge us. They were out of two of the four âfall specialsâ. Out of one of the local fish, out of 3 other things we tried to order. Many of the menu items havenât changed in years and they canât plan to have adequate quantities? They seem to be falling on the laurels since they were featured on food network and need to up their game to deliver what they tout.

The setting is fantastic. Outdoor seating surrounding by plants (and tree frogs in the evening), white lights, koi fish. The menu is limited because it is all local. The dishes were fantastic. Brisket was perfect, and came with a Kona coffee bbq sauce this night that was fantastic. Waitress was super, friendly, just attentive enough. As others have said, it is slow paced place. We probably waited an hour from the time we ordered to get our food. The restaurant was steady but not full. It seems they want it that way.

Coming back the long way from Hilo towards dinner we located this ahead of us using TA. With pretty good reviews we decided to stop by. They had a great ambiance and we were pretty casual after our trip, but you could make this a dressy outing too. We had a wonderful table near a door so we got a breeze (& to watch rain). Our server Chris was very attentive. When my grandaughter had drawn photos on all the paper in front of her, he moved her sideways & brought more crayons for her art.The G-kids had Lobser and they loved it. We had among us the BBQ Ribs, Pork Chop & Burger. And of course we had desserts! We left full and satisfied.Great place along the road.Aloha PeeDeeR--- I'm glad you found us on the return leg of your Hilo adventure. Sounds like Christian helped find your grandkids art supplies and that your family had a nice dining experience. Super!!! I appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback--- good or bad, feedback helps keep us moving forward.Enjoy your vacation--- Paul, the owner

Several visits to The Big Island and several visits to Ali'i Marketplace and somehow this was the first visit to TJ's...it definitely won't be the last. We had a half rack of ribs and a Kona burger and both were amazing. The burger was double the size I expected, and the coffee rub was super flavorful. I am not normally a rib person, but they were fall off the bone and the sauce was delicious! The people running the place are friendly and the food is one of the best values in the area, grab a table on the lawn and get ready for greatness while they make your food to order, it's worth the wait! Aloha, thank you so much for the nice review, we are happy that you enjoyed your time with us, we hope to see you again. Enjoy your time in HawaiiMahaloTim and JoannaTJ'S BBQ
