Nice place, with pineapples decorations and live music.Food is mostly local and very good. I actually chose to have the Hilo plate, which I really enjoyed. You'd better have a reservation because the place is crowded and you might have to wait otherwise.Prices are ok.

You would never know it from the outside but this place is fantastic. Funky little place in Waimea. Ate here for lunch and loved the atmosphere and the food. BBQ was authentic but had a few Hawaiian twists that made it fun and delicious.

We entered here last week for a lunch.....it was nice to see that they place was close to being filled. It did not disappoint.We had some scrumptious seafood during our lunch and even the homemade fries were above average. When we revisit this island, Jackie Rey's will definitely be a pit stop for us again!Aloha ecfoster--- Your descriptions of "scrumptious seafood" made me smile. I love that word. So.... I'm stoked you had a nice experience at my place--- do indeed make it a "pit stop" on your next visit to the Big Island. Till then--- Cheers, Paul-- the owner

Promises homemade cooking with the emphasis on Granmas cooking. The only thing is it's not. It's frozen chips, frozen breadcrumbed fish. Very disappointing, that said there is very little else in town if you want to eat. Very good service albeit disappointing food.

I randomly pulled into the Coffee Shack parking lot thinking I was just going to grab an iced coffee and keep driving while exploring the Big Island. Luckily, they just began their lunch menu and after seeing the view from the outdoor patio, I asked for a table and stayed for a meal. The Ono fish sandwich was delicious, prepared on fresh bread made at the restaurant. The view was PHENOMENAL and the staff were incredibly friendly (they also all kind of looked like models, which I was meaning to research after if that was a thing lol). The iced coffee was just ok.

Expect a little wait but worth it. Also expect to take some home. Great cheery service. Decided to try this on our way to several excellent farmer's markets in the area. A local recommended it. Meals are served on oval turkey platters. I like crispy bacon and theirs is deep fried so it is definitely crispy. As you can see from pictures portions are huge. I had the 2 eggs, corned beef hash, and french toast. The hash was served thin and crispy - very good but after seeing the kailua pork hash over fried rice that would be my recommendation. The french toast is a sweet bread but just standard stuff. They didn't leave it in the egg long enough to soak into the bread. Over medium eggs were perfect. I tried the hash browns- also large helping. The real surprise is their side of pancakes that comes with most egg meals. the serve 2 on these large oval platters. Nice and fluffy. The menu includes loco mocos and an assortment of meats like portuguese sausage and blood sausage. The menu was large enough to get you back for several different breakfasts and lunches.

We have dined at Merrimanâs on Maui and on Kauai, each different from the other. This Big Island location, the original, is different yet. Interesting starters of quesadilla and Israeli salad. The Parker Ranch steaks were amazing and beautifully prepared. Not usually a fan of mashed potatoes, I was pleased that mine were seasoned lightly with jalapeno. Cozy place, great menu and pleasant server.

They are only open for breakfast and lunch w three tables for two. Small little eatery that requires reservations. Was lucky to call around 10:30 and get a returned call at 11:30 for a spot that opened at lunch and we were only a block away at the Saturday farmers market. Limited menu for breakfast and lunch. My tuna bloom was very fresh tuna salad on a red tomato along w a fresh green salad and some toasted baguette slices. Enjoyed it as a light fresh lunch on a warm day.

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
