Great experience. Exciting menu with lots of interesting things to try. Had my first Loco Moco and was not disappointed. Our server was pleasant and the prices were decent. All in all an awesome experience.
We were happy to find the cafe for lunch on our way to the volcano forest. They weren’t busy but they only had one waitress so service was a bit slow. I had the mahi tacos which were dry. The fish was good but they needed something extra. My husband had the pulled pork and he didn’t like it. I put my coleslaw on it and that made it much better. I recommend a stop if you are looking for lunch before heading into the park.
Do yourself a favor and eat at this cafe!! If you are going to the Hawaii Volcano National Park drive the extra couple of miles , it’s so worth it!! I ordered the Hawaiin Teriyaki Burger w/ fries and it was delicious! The waitress so nice and e Ruth g was super fast.
Would rate 6/5 if we could! We ate here after a fun day of hiking at Volcano National Park. We started off with Guava BBQ wings and they were absolutely incredible. I had the Big O’ 1/2 Burger and loved it. My wife had the Grilled Mahi Mahi and said it was delicious. We finished with a homemade dessert of rich Chocolate Delish and it was amazing. 10/10 recommend!
The cake was delicious. However the rest of our food wasn’t very good. Fish wasn’t seasoned well. The coffee was lukewarm and old. We were hungry and it was close to the national park. Service was ok.
The Kalua Tacos were superb. The seafood not so much. The shrimp and calamari were disappointing with quite a bit of breading on them. The Mahi Mahi didn’t have much seasoning. The beer on tap was great. Stick with the bbq and you should be fine. I would go back for the bbq.
Wasabi tours took us here for dinner which is a great place to come after a long day of driving. It is an extremely popular restaurant that eventually got lined up out the door. We fortunately had reservations so no worries there.
The washrooms are clean so no worries there either.
The burgers are HUMONGOUS there! The meals that we had tasted good. The Mahimahi meal was very satisfying.
ONE SUGGESTION to improve the service there is that when a tour orders ahead as we did off a limited menu that each menu selection be colour coded and then those colour coded tags be given to the patrons and placed on the tables for the servers to see. That way as the food comes out there is no walking around auctioning the food off. There would be less yelling and faster service which is crucial on a bus tour. We barely had enough time to eat so this would improve that dramatically.
The atmosphere and decor is quite nice here. It almost reminded me of an Australian Outback drinking hole.
Everything about this place exceeded my expectations! The food was outstanding, each person in my party commented on how much they enjoyed their meal. The service was efficient and all the great art on the walls made for a very pleasant meal-time! I would recommend this place for sure! Even the roaches in the bathroom were exceedingly the most friendly ones on the whole Island! I mean they're everywhere what-re-you-goin-ta-do?
