Starved after a day at the beach, we stopped in because my smart daughter remembered Minit Stop…read morefrom when she was on Oahu. We were served THE most delicious fried chilen by the sweet auntie back there cooking away. Mac salad was THE bomb! The chicken katsu plate with two huge scoops of rice and a big scoop of that mac salad. It was the same fried chicke in bite size pieces and teriyake sauce to pour over top. Sweet Mother of Mercy everything was ono to the MAX. I highly recommend this Minit Stop for a meal.

If you're looking for a decent customer service experience then this place isn't it. This location…read morehas THE WORST customer service. They have no problem ignoring you and even giggle about it and talk trash about you while talking trash about their co-workers. If you ask them for help they tend to get fussy. I've seen this happen many times at THIS LOCATION and it's happened to me too. This was at night too and I've noticed that this location, particularly at night, has very rude employees. At the ending of the day it is a gas station and I'm there to get what I need and be on my way. Their food is great, I must say. The fried chicken and potato wedges--or even bentos is a MUST when stopping there. ***I was just there last night, 7/14/26 and there were 2 employees on the floor talking smack about one of their co-workers. I grabbed what I needed and waited at the register. The employee was standing about 6 feet away from me making drum noises on a pile of boxes and I asked her if anyone was at the register. She said "Yeah, SHE IS" and pointed to the other employee pulling trash from the hot food area. There was also another customer standing behind me waiting to check-out. The drumming of boxes continued too from the other employee.*** If you don't need to go there, go to the next gas station. They are my "emergency only" gas station and when on empty I'll put in $10 (when I actually need $85-$100) and fill up at the next gas station that deserves the business. 5 stars for food and 1 for customer service.

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.

My boyfriend really wanted the tonkatsu, but they had just run out, so we grabbed the fried chicken and the chili with rice and mac and ended up sharing everything. It totally hit the spot. Comfort food, super flavorful, and way better than we expected for a late-night convenience store stop. Not fancy, but when you're hungry and everything's closed, Minit Stop comes through.

Pretty good K-chicken!…read more When visiting Kona (kinda often), this is my last stop before returning my rent-a-car at Keahole-Kona Airport to fill up gas. Usually it's in the mid to late afternoon, so sometimes I buy my "Linner" to take to the airport and eat it there (maybe even sneak it into the airport restaurant (after buying a drink there) occasionally! Shhh!!! .... ) So I almost always get a small take out container with a scoop of rice and 1 or 2 pieces of their fried Korean Chicken. Yum! That, add some cabbage that has been soaking in that Korean BBQ sauce, put it over the rice.... yum P: When you look at the display case, it might look unassuming, but (in my opinion) it is ONO! Best part is crunching on the saucy skin! Kinda on the pricey side for a piece of chicken and not the most heart healthy ... but oh well, heck, I'm on travel, so it's not like I'm buying it everyday! Gas prices are typically "Kona" (expensive) ... but within the ballpark of other places. But this is one of the more convenient stops I make along the Queen K Highway on the way to the airport... Got other things in the deli/warmer section... they're 'okay', but it's the K fried chx that convinces me to buy gas at this stop along the way!

Had their famous fried chicken it was ok but I thought it would have been better . I think it was sitting under the heating light for awhile, but I think if it was freshly fried it would been Da Bomb. I also had their Lobster Melt in a shape like a flying saucer. That was very good stuff with Lobster and celery and a little Mayo. I think that was imitation Lobster meat because if it was the real McCoy the price would be much more expensive lol

Got into the car and pulled out the most measly looking price of backbone I'd every seen I've heard stories of this happening to tourists but didn't expect it to happen to me I went back in and laid it on the counter and said, excuse me, I asked for a drumstick, not a backbone, and they apologized while the ladies in the back watched and they were laughing. My girlfriend that has lived on the island for the last 20 years, apologized for them and said that she should've gone in with me. I will say the fried chicken was good, but not worth the customer service
