So you pull in off the highway and he's always there. He dresses in dirty clothes, reeks of smoke and his establishment is a perfect reflection of himself. Dirty and ran down. I'm not sure how this guy moves to Hawaii island straight from India, but something is very off about the entire situation. Mr Patel likes to leer at all the woman tourists in a very sexual manner. I see this guy every day as I live in the area and drive right by him. When I say he's outside every day, it's literally just that. Avoid this business at all cost. I would be cautious about his gasoline as everything looks janky and not well maintained. No good

It's nice to know whenever you're in da boonies, at least there's a convenience store around the…read moreKealakekua area where you can get gas (if you're running low), or if you need a quick snack or drink, you may consider dropping by this place.......... While working the other day in Kealakekua, and upon finishing a job in this town, I knew I had to drive up to the north Kohala side, and was looking at a 1.5 hour to 2 hour drive, so I decided to stop here to get a big jug of water, as well as a snack. The Honalo Shell Food Mart is a small convenience store, located just down the road from the famous Teshima Restaurant. There is a few parking spaces in front of the store, as well as a few parking stalls to the side of the building. The Honalo convenience store features Shell gasoline, and I gotta tell you folks............for a store that serves gas in a remote area, the prices here are pretty good, as I saw a sign for $3.28 for regular gas. When I was returning my rental car, and filled up gas at a Tesoro gas station (near the Costco area), I actually paid a little less at $3.20 per gallon, but considering gas sold at an area where it's remote, the prices for the gas at the Honalo convenience store is not bad at all.

Plan on making this your first stop to get your water, and supplies. They carry all three feades of gasoline and diesel too!

Review is based on the gas station only…read more A gas station with solar panels and an ocean view good enough that people occasionally park here just to view the sunset? Yes, this is the Big Island of Hawaii! Gas prices are low too, among the lowest in the Kailua-Kona area. One issue that I have found with most Hawaiian gas station pumps is that they will not remain on auto-lock; you need to keep applying pressure to the fuel dispenser to keep the gas flowing.

But the lady working there was so nice and explained everything! They even signed me up for the discount card. Mahalo for being so kind to this clueless mainlander! We got the 2 orders of the combo with 2 chicken thighs and 1 drumstick and 3 pieces of fried, batter dipped potato wedges. Pieces were large and meaty. It was a lot of food! Only $8.99 with the discount card for each box. The potatoes were tender and quite tasty. We really enjoyed them. Chicken itself was flavorful, although we found the crust too salty. It was a tiny bit dry. Not sure how long it had been sitting there. The crust was very crunchy. Everything was hot and well packaged. Overall, a great deal and worth a try if you're in the area! Location of this one is very convenient - just South of the airport and near the Costco.

We had a hard time even picking what to get, as there were so many delicious options and they were still warm when we got there early in the day.

I really appreciated that it was easy (honor system paying) and that it was set up as a quick pick up and go.
