I absolutely love this place. I stayed in Hilo for a few days and ate here each day of my visit. Their mushroom swiss burger is SO GOOD! Not only are they cheap, but they're delicious too. I honestly can't say enough great things about this place.

Despite it being close to closing 8pm, they were very nice and it looked like they were short handed. Great customer service. I apologized for being so late and they said it was okay. An the food was so good. Totally recommend been coming here for the last 11yrs won't be disappointed.

My traditional favorite "roast pork plate, fries instead of rice, sloppy (gravy all over, including on the Mac salad)" is still a reliable indulgence despite the recent price increases. "Katsu Dip" was two big perfectly cooked pieces of sliced chicken katsu soaked in a yummy sauce. Current staff is winning. Counter staff is wayyyy more friendly than before, and kitchen staff seems to be doing a great job as well. French fries are almost always slightly undercooked though. I don't like the burgers; they just taste "off" for some reason. Picnic table/cinder block seating area is clean and airy but serves prison vibes. Take your plates and go eat by the ocean in Keaukaha or Banyan Drive right behind Verna's.
The Chicken Katsu that I ordered was ok. The katsu had a thick layer of breading and the katsu sauce was a bit sweet. The service was quick and people at the check out were very nice. I recommend calling-in your order during the busy lunch and dinner hours.

Four stars are about right. The restaurant is dated, as is most of the places in the area. Staff was friendly. There are a few picnic tables around the side that are clean-ish.We got the Chicken Katsu, the Smoke Meat w/onions, and a cheeseburger deluxe. The Katsu was amazing. Great taste and nice crunch. The Smoke Meat was smoked pork belly. Lots of smokey taste. I like pork belly, but some people might not enjoy the fat in pork belly.The rice was average, and the mac-n-cheese was as good as most places. They forgot the "deluxe" part of the cheeseburger, so we needed to go back and have it fixed.I don't think I'd crave it again when we come back, but I wouldn't turn it down if that's where everyone wanted to go.
