Hōnaunau (also spelled Honaunau) is an unincorporated community on the island of Hawaii in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It lies just off Hawaii Belt Road on the opposite side of the island from Hilo, the county seat of Hawaii County. Its elevation is 52 feet (16 m). Because the community has borne multiple names, the Board on Geographic Names officially designated it "Honaunau" in 1914 and 1954 before changing to the current spelling in 2000. Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code 96726.

I was invited by a local friend to join her group here for Taco Tuesday. The margaritas and tacos are just a few bucks each. The service was fast and the tacos and drinks were good. Very lively place.

My husband and I were driving around HI exploring when we fortuitously stumbled upon this restaurant in the tiny town of Kainaliu. When walking in it did have posted that they were voted best burger in HI and ascertined that they had other locations. We split both a burger and blue marlin fish and chips and OLA beer.. Everything was fantastic including our server.The Knights

Rebel Kitchen is a great bar, with lovely food. We visited on the way back from captain cook, and it was so delicious we went back again the next day! The blackened Ono, the shrimp and bacon sandwich, the cheesesteak, the grilled veggie burger, the creamy veggie pasta, and the garlic pepperoni fries were all delicious. They are freshly cooked and reasonably priced too. The waitress was very friendly, and remembered us the next day! You can buy the cool t shirts that the staff wear, a great souvenir! Would definitely recommend.

Keei Cafe

Reviewed By Goldrichie

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.

Good location not too far from the Two Step snorkel spot. Good natural food for reasonable prices. Sandwiches were good included vegan chick pea option. Tacos were good not great. Liked all the ingredients including the fish, cabbage and aioli however tortillas did not seemed heated so sort of ruined it. May have been a new cook? Breakfasts looked good. It is in a nice outdoor courtyard Not fancy but relaxing and in the shade. We would return to this restaurant. Also would like to try Annie’s burgers and big island bbq.

Big Rob's Bakery

Hey my name is Robin. You can call me Big Rob. Big Rob's is a family owned and operated business bringing home style ono grinds to the South West Big Island! As the sole owner, I have been baking for over 30 years and I take pride and joy in my products.

It ain't pretty or centrally located, but Big Rob's restaurant is worth checking out, not only for the experience of meeting Rob but also because the food is great! As others have mentioned, Rob does pretty much everything himself. We thought he was all disorganized as far as ordering but suddenly Rob had lunch for 4 of us whipped up! We ordered everything from French toast to a fish sandwich and he mastered all of it.We wanted to return on our last day on the island but it was a Monday, and Rob's was closed! The man needs a day off. He expends a lot of energy. You gotta go!

Manago Hotel & Restaurant

Reviewed By RobinM1592

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.

The Coffee Shack

Reviewed By Lira1993

Herbert is the name we gave to the lizard . He’s 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

Reviewed By crvisitor41

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.
