“A fun little spot for great food, incredibly friendly staff, and live music. Think Margaritaville, but local hawaiian style. Really tasty food offerings (look for daily specials on the chalk board). Super tasty cocktails, including their signature that's served in a hollowed out Hawaiian Gold pineapple. This is a nice open-air spot located right across from Hilo bay. Very popular with tourists.Parking: Plenty of street parking available to walk fromKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“
“The best poke I have had on big island so far (IMO - much better and cheaper than Da Poke Shack in Kona). Had the Everyday Joe bowl and it was delicious! All the elements in the bowl went together perfectly. This is strictly takeout but there is one bench you can snag if lucky. Staff were also super nice. Will definitely revisit this place before I leave!“
“While visiting family in hilo, we ate there several times. Tons of options for my haole hubby. I was a little more ambitious. My aunties and cousins love this place so I know it's legit. Portions were huge and the Aloha was everywhere.Wheelchair accessibility: They make accommodations for people as needed“
“Our first time here impressions:: *Friendly, Organized and efficient customer service *Food display case made us want to buy two of everything and I feel like we kinda did. *Cannot beat the prices - we left there feeling like we ripped them off... +All the food tasted as good as it looked Loved it !!! If u guys wanna open a shoppe on Oahu lmk and I'll be your first investor!“
“Is there a hole in the wall establishment that isn't a true dining experience? Puka Puka Kitchen is such an experience. The staff were friendly, the food was tasty, and the atmosphere was cozy. When you're out all day seeing the rest of the island, you just need a place to serve you something familiar and scrumptious. The curry was piping hot with all the right veggies; paired with a quality chicken katsu it made for a decent meal. Take a load off after wandering around the other shops nearby and treat yourself; satisfaction guaranteed.“
“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.“
“Long time resident of Honolulu checking in… this place is amazing, perfect poke, all fresh caught and never frozen, and their lechon loco moco was top tier!!! I’m a sucker for lechon and theirs was crispy and delicious!! Worth stopping by whether you’re shopping at the Market or not“
“Great restaurant looking over Hilo bay. We took out two items as we couldn't get a reservation. Hilo sunset sushi was so good with poached shrimp, spicy salmon, gochujang aioli,cucumber,sesame, sweet potato chips and tempura crisps. We also ordered side of crab cakes: it came with nice fresh salad and tasty salad dressings. We loved that too. Next time we would like to sit in the restaurant and enjoy the foods over a good view.“
“Best wine, loved that it's farm to table . I was really impressed when asked what Ranch did there beef come , and our waitress had the name of ranch owner ? chicken katsu is to die for. My entire family was Impressed food is definitely delicious ?. Been there 5-6 times so far. Mahalo white guava see you soon. 5-7 “
“I haven’t been here in years and the food is still great. I’ve always ordered the cone sushi, Musubi, and tempura shrimp. They have lots of other popular options and usually have a line (food is deliciously consistent in flavor). Get there early before they sell out on the popular items.“
“Hou My People???? dis place get dah mean kine grindz that make you go , " a shet, its ovah when you see dah Katsu Chicken Plate Bok Bahhaaaaaok!!!??? I recommend this place to all my people on dah Big Island of Hawaii?and Mainlanders???????Maikai'i Aunties that Malama? here serving all dayzz??“
“Very nice view of the water. Our waitress Sam was very good, making sure that we were taking care of and explained the menu items very well. The Ono and scallops are outstanding. The wasabi cream sauce was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted. Save room for dessert, and or after dinner drink because they are top-notch. Thank “
“Great quick option?. This is take out only however, there is two benches on the side of the building that you can sit and enjoy. Prices reasonable and so many choices. Portions are large. There is parking on the side of the street. However, I did not see a parking parking lot. This is located directly across from pineapples and you could miss it if you didn’t have GPS.“
“Free pupus with karaoke! Say less! Before coming here, I didn't realize pupus were free in most bars in Hilo and Peggy's is no exception. They've probably been around longer than I've been alive because there are regulars who have frequented Peggy's for years. Everyone knows everyone here and they treat everyone like family. Pupus are free, yes, but that doesn't mean they're not good. They served poke, Mac salad, vegetables, noodles, etc and they were Ono!! You still have to pay for their other pupus (like fries, chicken tenders) but the pupus are great and you can ask for more as long as you're drinking. Their drinks are good too. Affordable and not super pricey. This place is not fancy at all and has a more homey feel to it. Highly recommend if you need a night out with friends that's very low key but fun! Karaoke is a dollar per song and you give to the waitress to input your selections. It is a shared/community karaoke so no private rooms here.“
“Awesome drive in walk up window service style food. The best French fries around and tasty burgers. They have local favorites as well including breakfast. Outside dining only or food to go. Popular with the early morning blue collar workers and always seems busy for breakfast and lunch. We went before the lunch crowd showed up so service was pretty quick. It was a little more expensive than I would have expected. Two burgers, 2 fries, and 2 sodas was around $35. However, I will definitely be back and look forward to trying their Loco moco next time.“
“This was the best BLT sandwich I have ever tasted. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was spectacular. My kid really liked the 'there is a $5 fine for whining.' This cafe had really good french fries too. I highly recommend this cafe for a lunch stop.Kid-friendliness: There was a kids menu too!“
“The lady was very friendly. The manapua was $2.25 each, and you can have it warm or cold. There is no minimum. They take cash only. It was very fast and the size and taste were good. I'll be coming here more as I crave for my manapua and pork hash I also ordered a lbs of charsui for $7. It was the ends of the crispy burnt parts. It was ono on a bed of hot rice.“
“Stop here when in Hilo. We've been here twice, both times enjoyed their one-pound Lau Lau. Lau Lau is a Hawaiian specialty you should try at least once when in Hawaii, and it's not on a lot of menus. Take advantage of this great, local diner to learn the joys of Lau Lau.“
“Loco Moco was like a thin hamburger steak spread under omelet rice (because it was scrambled).Steak plate is a good food for children to eat.Comes with 2 steaks (smoky flavor) + rice + potato salad, no sauce on the meat.There is no dining area, but there are tables and chairs outside where you can eat even if it rains.“
“The food was delicious and a reasonable price. I had the shrimp scampi (added a side salad-the sesame dressing was amazing!!!) and the Hawaiian margarita!!! Moana was an amazing server…this is a place you have to try.-Ashley from Gilbert, AZ“
