We spent the day driving from our home on the Kona side to see some of the beautiful waterfalls on the north east side of the island. A day in the car made us ready for sitting down to a nice meal. Luckily for us, we ended up at Don's Grill. The menu had an unbelievably large number of items to select from. Our waitress Elizabeth was pleasant, helpful and attentive. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. The price was very fair and the desserts were the perfect ending to a nice meal. The only mistake that we made was going too late in the day because the mud pie in this picture was already gone to earlier customers for the day. It would be worth it to drive to Hilo just to eat at Don's Grill again and I will, only next time I'll get there early so I can get that mud pie.

This place feels very "local blue collar diner" as opposed to a tourists stop. This is great homey food, not gourmet stuff. We had a table of 8, the waitress took our order without writing anything down and got it all right. Nothing fancy here, just great people going by their business, serving good food with great service.

This place is amazing!!! I didn't know corn chowder could taste so good. Very flavorful meals. It must have been less than 10 minutes that they had my food out. I watched the same expedient service happen with other folks' meals, and during a dinner rush! Friendly and attentive waitresses. I had a good feeling about this place when I googled it, and was right. Do yourself a favor and please eat here. You won't be disappointed. Wish I lived closer cause this would be my new favorite dining joint.

Chili and brown rice for a chilly night. Fast happy service. Love the privacy of the side room. Ran in an hour before closing. Lots of people but still so friendly.

We were blown away by this place. Pleasant, really clean environment, nice and fast service, excellent food. The soup of the day was great and even if it doesn't stand out in the photo, the bun was fresh, warm, fluffy in combination with the top soup. My husband didn't want to eat it at first, but after I tasted it, he ate it all. The burrito didn't look like much, but the taste was amazing, yum. A steak beautiful to the eye and to the taste. I definitely recommend stopping here.Our visit here on March 15, 2024.
