Countryside Cafe is a guilty pleasure of mine. Every time I go to town to do laundry, I can hardly resist sitting down for breakfast! The adobo fried rice in particular has my heart :) The staff is super friendly, food comes out quick, and is very affordable for the big portions. Always recommend stopping by! read more

Service by server Abcde F. was efficient, kind and courteous. I loved the vegetable omelette and my nephew said the hamburger steak was excellent too. Bathroom needs cleaning but ambiance was great otherwise! I highly recommend this place read more

Service was great and quick. Seat yourself this morning. Ordered the Mauna Kea special. Garlic chicken was garlic-eee (the way I like), Teri beef , mac salad and noodles were delicious. I had some of the Adobe fried rice too, that was really tasty. Adequate table space indoor and out. Can accommodate larger groups on the picnic tables. The menu is served all day. Cocktails served here as well. read more

While the food was good and brought out fresh. The service was not well, our original waitress stopped serving us after bringing out drinks to take a phone call at the table in front of us... it was very unprofessional. When someone new figured out our orders weren't taken they had forgotten the side orders and we had to ask for them at the end of the meal, while they comped it in the bill it was just a really unprofessional setting; taking personal calls, squatting on the floor. read more

The adobo fried rice? Delicious but I would advise against ordering clam chowder to go, which is a special they offer. They package it in a takeout container like this which proceeded to spill over in the paper bag onto my plate lunch. Then I was given a fork to eat it instead of a spoon. I ended up dumping it because of the mess that it made. I walked in and told them that it spilled and I needed napkins to clean up my plate, but there was no offer to remedy what had happened. read more

We went around 8:00am. Super Ono local style breakfast and the vibes in the restaurant are awesome.

I absolutely LOVE this place. There is ample parking, it was easy to find, and the service is top notch!! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and was able to choose where we wanted to sit. The staff came and brought out 2 large cups of ice water and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We both ordered coffee and it came in giant mugs with free refills. Naialyn was our server and she greeted us and was hospitable. We placed our orders and the food came out fairly quickly. We started with Walk Thru The Country consisting of Banana's Foster French toast which was moist and sweet but not overly sweet, topped with bananas and fresh whipped cream. Strawberry Waffle which was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with strawberry compote and fresh whipped cream. And Lilikoi Pancakes which were fluffy however I could not taste the Lilikoi flavor. Meat Lovers Scrambler was brought out with Da Bruddahs Breakfast. Both offered the perfect portion where the eggs were made perfectly keeping the eggs fluffy, breakfast potatoes cooked well and not overcooked, biscuits tasted homemade, and the English muffin was crisp on top, I absolutely loved that. I added butter and grape jelly and it was a treat. They had a live performer, Tupahu, who played mellow but fun music. That just added to the ambiance making is feel like we were part of their ohana. I can't wait to return to Hilo to dine here again. read more

Let me start by saying the service was very friendly! They do work to make you as happy as possible. The waitresses had cowboy boots and were sweet. Hubby and I came for breakfast. Food is okay, but not really that great. French toast came out not very hot, and I didn't care for their homemade corned beef hash ( yes, I've tasted it before). I asked for bacon instead. Hubby liked his breakfast burrito but the tater tots that came with tasted odd, like hush puppies or something other than potato. Coffee was average, and warm but not hot. read more

Had breakfast here on a weekend. The seating area is quite large and most of the tables were taken. Luckily there were a few tables available. The staff was quick and attentive. With as many tables that were being served our food arrived quite quickly. The portions are large and delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

The biscuits are a must! The lilikoi drizzle on top of the biscuits is made in house. Definitely stop by and bring your appetite. *side note: I thought it was really cute how the waitresses wore cowboy boots as part of their uniform. read more

I would have given a 4 if fried rice was average. Ordered the adobo fried rice. The pork was great, a bit fatty (good) and almost melt in your mouth texture. Sunny side up eggs were also good. But it was a fried rice. I only expected the average fried rice and would have given it a 4. But the rice doesn't even felt like fried, it was wet (but not oily like duck fried rice), and kind of soured, weird texture and taste. Maybe it is just Filipino/islander fried rice? Otherwise good prices. read more

We stopped and had breakfast. It was actually really good. The two young gals hosting/serving gave great customer service. Wasn't super busy at the time we were there. Maybe 8 tables being served. The ambiance is what it is for a Cafe. Appeared clean unlike many other restaurants we have been to lately. Have not tried lunch or dinner but I will give breakfast a thumbs up! read more

The food was excellent and the service was prompt and friendly. I had the loco moco and my wife had the counter fried steak and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. The restaurant is tucked away in a little shopping mall between Foodland and the Ace Hardware. It's a little out of the way but totally worth a stop if your are hungry. The only complaint I had was that the food was too good, the portions too large, and now my belly is too full. Love it and next time we are here we will definitely be stopping in again. read more

Its so simple coming here. We didnt even check what time they were operating, just showed up. Every time we've come, the expectation never fails. We got some great countryside food. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here before too and was very happy. The environment is comfortable and open air no ac. They have ceiling fans that keep you cool. Would come back again. read more

This place is located on the Big Island in Kea'au at 16-586 Old Volcano Road. Their original location is in Waianae on Oahu. There is plenty of parking and the food is awesome. I had the Da Braddahz Breakfast and I left full AAAAAAND satisfied. Check them out next time you're heading to the Volcano National Park. Happy eating and Aloooooooooha. read more

Nice location in the middle of town next to Foodland. Open floor plan lots of tables in space. Service was quick and cheerful. Menu has a variety of classic breakfast and Hawaiian style. Food was average. Enjoyed the country potatoes and veggie omelette. The biscuits and gravy seemed a bit store-bought. More of a brown gravy than a white breakfast gravy. And small portion. They charge a 3% if using a credit card. I feel you could find a better place. But if you're looking for something on the way, and you wanna sit down with quick service, this place is all right. read more

This is truly one of the best places I've eaten yet. Food is awesome even the service was awesome, had live music. Surprised this place was booming with more customers, I better not speak to soon my new fav might get taken over. Keep up the great service and food. read more

Mmmmm breakfast for the long road ahead. Took the family here before heading out to Volcanos and my daughter totally loved the banana foster. The breakfast burrito was filling and the omelette, delicious. Traveling and finding good eats can always be stressful with a little one but my little picky eater devoured the French toast. The food was filling enough and avoided the kanack attack. Worth checking out on your way to Volcanos from Hilo. Service was great. Female ran business with women who clearly RUN THE BUSINESS. Cowgirl hats off to you for throwing it down! read more

This is my go to place to eat! Everything here is good. Their Adobo fried rice is to die for. Highly recommend

This place is in a strip mall in Keaau near Hilo. We had an early appt in Hilo and we're starving. They were very busy but we got service with a smile right away, good coffee, and I absolutely loved the breakfast burrito with tots on the side. Meaty and cheesy and wonderful. Could only eat half. Hubs enjoyed bacon and eggs (tons of bacon) and fantastic fried potatoes. Super friendly, would definitely go there again. read more

do not go here. all the reviews are set up. portions are super super small and i order a salad that had about 10 pieces of lettuce. prices wayyyyyyyyyyy to high. crab salad had only one tiny patty that was preheated. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. My whole family enjoyed our breakfast this morning- we wanted some strong coffee and were not disappointed. Insulated metal coffee cups that don't burn you when you hold them, kept our coffee nice and hot throughout our meal. They have a wide range of menu items, satisfying everyone's individual breakfast preferences! Some notable dishes were the adobo fried rice, meat scrambler, west side omelette, and MY favorite of everything: the LILIKOI BISCUITS. A must-try item. So buttery, flavorful, and delicious. I am a pescatarian and I ended up getting the veggie Benedict with added salmon lox on top and it was everything I wanted. The hollandaise sauce was soooo ono. Service was outstanding, lovely smiling faces accommodating to our needs. I asked for extra hollandaise and was provided without hesitation. I barely give reviews but must give credit where credit is due. A true country breakfast with an immersive atmosphere and immaculate vibes for sure. Can't recommend enough. Mahalo to the owner and waitstaff! read more

I had a cheese burger. The meat had no flavor, not worth the price. Their Coca-Cola tastes really weird. Their fries were decent. The mushroom onion burger had only 4 minuscule pieces of onion. The service was good, nice lady. Decent ambiance. read more

We've eaten here at least 4 times to give them a chance, but service was not good every time. It's like they don't really care if you're giving them business or not. We had to ask to be seated, to order, for silverware, for refills of beverages, basic food and hospitality service kine tings. And the food is just alright. For the price the portions and quality isn't anything special. Not coming here again. read more

The food was amazing and we got our food quickly! Nice area and still had privacy while eating. The place was hoping, so get there before it opens. Haupia pancakes are a must! read more

My wife and I have tried to dine at the Countryside Cafe in Maili, but it was always too crowded. So, while in Hilo my son took me to the Countryside Cafe in Keeau. I don't know if it is the same restaurant but it sure looks like the one in Maili. We got there at 9:30 AM on a Sunday and the restaurant was pretty empty. I ordered the hamburger steak and my son had the loco moco. The meals were delicious. The beef patty was one of the better one's I ever had in a hamburger steak plate. My son raved about his loco loco. The gravy they make here is outstanding, seasoned just right. The restaurant pretty much filled up by the time we were done. There are so any other things I want to try on the menu that I know I will be back the next time I fly in. In fact, I had a hard time making up my mind deciding on my meal because everything on the menu sounded good. read more
