    churro waffle & mauna kea plate
    Kyra H.

    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.

    Clam chowder

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Loco Moco
    Jason A.

    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.

    Great food great drinks perfect relaxing place to have relax.......................................................................................:)

    Loco moco w/country gravy (yum) make sure to get it with fried rice for better experience.

    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.

    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.

    Da Braddahz Breakfast
    Scott G.

    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.

    I had the best pork adobo fried rice in a very long time--more vinegar flavor than others but that's how I like it.

We've traveled to all the Hawaiian Islands and have sampled each island's best restaurants, but I can honestly say my entire group agreed that the meal Patrick created for our celebratory gathering was undoubtedly the absolute best. The sashimi dishes were the freshest and most flavorful I've had- on par with the best Japanese restaurants we've experienced (and we've been to Japan). His salads were fresh, light, and creative, as were his side dishes. And his desserts were top-notch. Each course flowed beautifully into another, and every bite was delicious. We truly appreciated how much care Patrick dedicates to his craft- the quality and thought Patrick puts into sourcing ingredients is evident in the taste, flavor, and depth of his dishes. The service was also impeccable. Our house was left spotless, and his wife was absolutely charming. I would not hesitate to recommend them again. Thank you, Patrick, for all of the hard work and love you put into your dishes! Outstanding job!

The day of the first meal I hadn't heard for from her so I text and called her and learned that she would be sending her sous chefs because she was overbooked. The meal was excellent, her sous chefs set the table beautifully, asked us details about about the meal such as food allergies and preferences. The food was delicious. It was great. The morning of the next two meals I couldn't reach her. No one showed up. I texted her and let her know that by my calculations she still owed me $600. She called and explained she had a personal emergency. I'm waiting for her to Venmo me. Update- After returning home we received a Venmo for the $600 so we are set.
