A local friend recommended Sandyâs Drive In, and that was an excellent recommendation. Sandyâs is located on highway 11, Mamalahoa Hwy or Belt Road, in Kealakekua. Their service is fast and friendly and has been a local favorite for over 50 years. They serve a great breakfast and have wonderful Loco Moco. Their specialty tempura sweet potato "chips" are something very special! The facilities are clean and airy. A great stop while traveling south from Kona.

Huli Huli Chicken is a delicious Hawaiian specialty thatâs prepared to absolute perfection by Randyâs on the Big Island :)). Whole seasoned birds are roasted on outdoor rotisseries over a smoky grill, and served hot to eager customers... the taste is incredible, with the juicy meat easily removed from the bones with yer fingers. Theyâre available on Thursday and Friday (sometimes not every week), and when the chickens are sold out for the day, youâll have to wait for the next time (arrive here during mid morning!). Be sure to grab a bottle of the yummy sauce to take home as well... itâs worth the short drive south of Kona to see if you can score on this marvelous culinary delight â enjoy!!!

Not being Asian or Hawaiian I was taken by surprise when my garlic/butter shrimp was cooked in the shell. I guess some people like it that way but I'm used to eating shrimp in California and Mexico so it wasn't to my liking. Our guest is a local so I should have ordered what he did. Next time I'll try something else.

What a cracker of an eatery. Everything we had was delicious, especially the seafood pasta which is easy to mangle in lesser hands,. The owners young children took delight in serving the tables and good on them for learning responsibilities in this regard. This place as far as we can tell is the absolute stand out in the area around Captain Cook. We heartily agree with everyone who has rated this highly. It is wise to book as it is very popular, but we walked up and got an inside table on a week night in summer. Plenty of car parking off street.

About 24 miles south of Kona International Airport...on Mamalahoa Hwy. Absolutely the BEST fish and chips ANYWHERE. Fresh, light batter, chips are thinly sliced and delicious. We have gone there several times on each of our last 3 vacations to the Big Isl
We got a recommendation to stop here for a bite to eat on our way south. We tried the fish and chips for 2. My wife isn't a big fan of fish and chips, but really enjoyed these. You can get the fish and chips with either the standard fries or substitute sweet potato fries, onion rings, or side salad.They have a nice outdoor garden setting to eat in. They also have a counter that serves coffee drinks, ice cream and shaved ice. We stopped back again a separate time for the shaved ice and it was really good.

Serving Breakfast and Lunch options. The finest 100% Kona Coffee Beverages, and Fresh Fruit Smoothies.
This small establishment offers a cozy, relaxed vibe. 4 of us, ourselves and our 2 teenage grandsons visited for a late lunch. There is a pool table available which kept the boys occupied while we waited for our food. And when it did, we were all happy! Not only was it visually attractive but also delicious. Everything from the taco plate to the wraps and paninis was a hit. We wanted to return once more but found that the restaurant is closed on Mondays, the only day we could have gone.

This is not a high-end restaurant. They have had the same menu for decades. You know what you are getting - very tasty food. Their side dishes are all first rate. I always have the pork chops - but people tell me there other dishes are good too. Clearly great recipes and know-how from doing this for a long time. (Oldest restaurant on the island). Hours are short. Reservations are a good idea.

We locals love this place, recently renamed Kona Grill. Located in a blue-painted warehouse, with picnic tables outside and inside, the restaurant's seafood is fantastic, the home-made sauces unique, featuring unusual sides like seaweed salad. As if that weren't enough, the friendly staff is full of aloha. Utterly un-touristy!

Herbert is the name we gave to the lizard . Heâs a cute little dude who will gladly help you finish up your sweet jam. This is a gorgeous place to grab a coffee and some breakfast. Get there early for a good seat. Decent veggie options. Friendly staff. Service is super fast. My only tip: cut back on the cooking oil. Worth a visit..... if just to say hi to Herbert. Seeing Herbert may reminds you that all living beings have a soul... maybe skip the bacon next time

If you want authentic Hawaiian food, this is the place to go. It's a little out of the way, but worth it. For out of towners, I recommend you calling ahead and placing a take out order to bring back to where you are staying and eating there.
