Definitely the worst dining experience we have had in Kona. Left hungry and very disappointed ☹️.

We love Willie's. Good food, good drinks (frozen mai tais ?) good music. We love their house sauce and their lilikoi vinaigrette. Sweet Hawaiian is our favorite spice for the chicken.Lots of focus on the local community and they work hard to take good care of everyone! Also I can give my kids waffles for dinner , hooray!There is no ocean view here and the picnic tables can be uncomfortable for some if they have mobility issues but there are also regular chairs available and inside dining options. This is a much loved and popular spot for many reasons.

Great food, very friendly staff, and good location with good vibes and good music.Parking: Parking behind the building actually has enough spaces but they are a bit skinny so do your neighbors a favor and take the time to straighten out your car so someone can get in next to you.

oh wow, the chicken is GREAT. one of the best fried chicken ever had. there are levels of hotness you can choose from. I have high tolerance so i went for the white hot which is the second highest level of the heat on the menu of 100-350k scoville unit, compares to a level down only 10% of the heat, or the level up of 10x more heat, i think this is great for people who likes/can eat spicy. the spicy powder dusted on top so if you really can't take it you can just peel the outside layer off to take some heat off.The chicken is crispy on the outside and meat is still juicy. there's a long line but it moves fast. i didnt wait very long on a busy weekend night. finding a table is bit challenging just have to wait, there are indoor, outdoor and bar seatings available.
