Above 5 stars!!! Everything about this place is laid back vibes....except for the service and the food!! Our server/bartender was SO friendly and helpful. No pressure, no rush and was quick to answer any questions we had about the food. Loaded up OMG the food. Started with the "cheese bread". Once it came out, we realized most people call them a calzone but it was SO good that I should've just eaten that alone as my lunch. I ended up with a "slice" of sausage and pepperoni pizza. Come to find out that it's 2 slices and basically a quarter of an 18" pizza!! Phenomenal is the only word that comes to mind GO HERE!! read more

Since it is really the only game in town, we had dinner here. Both of us had the chili. Mine with cheese. Very good and tasty. The bread that accompanies it was excellent. It happened to be Wednesday karaoke night. Lots of fun listening to the various performances. A nice, local crowd. Very attentive servers. You can pay via QR code. read more

If you're in Honoka'a this place is a must! The pastrami on rye is excellent, but the pizza was perhaps the most surprising! The crust is perfectly thin and crispy, yet still with some chew, and the red sauce was so full of flavor. I was very pleasantly surprised. They have a full bar, but it's still kid friendly, and plenty of TVs for watching sports! read more

I love the their chili! It's a very generous portion and comes with some breadsticks.

Wow. So incredible. We stopped on our drive across the Big Island. This place is amazing. Beer, food, hospitality are all great. Malia, the server/bartender was so nice and full of life. All the specialty pizzas can be ordered as slices. It's worth a drive to check this place out. read more

The food was excellent and very tasty. Ordered the Korean wings that were fresh, crisp and deliciously juicy and meaty. My family loved the ranch sauce for the wings and pizza. The toppings are very affordable and the pizza slices were huge and great portions to have. I had a sausage and pineapple slice -- utterly delectable! Highly recommend. The service was quick, attentive, friendly and attentive. The lady working the place was very kind and pleasant. The ambiance is like that of a welcoming bar. Very much appreciate it! Yum! (And less of a wait for Harmoni if you're thinking to eat here or there. We didn't get a chance to eat Harmoni due to the line and being on a tight schedule). read more

Stopped here after a on our way back to Hilo. There wasn't much open on a Saturday evening, but this place was open and I am so happy it was. We got a large Smoke House pizza and it feed 5 adults and we still had a couple of pieces left over. It's was sooooo good and you could smell the smoked meat on it. I think next time though I would request for just a little more sauce on the pizza. I'll definitely be adding this to my list of places I have to come back to on our next Big Island visit. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in the area. And trust when I say get the Smoke House Pizza read more

Bbq pizza was HUGE and delicious. My husband and I ate it for dinner and for lunch the next two days. The slice was also huge and fed both of my children. I love to see what this place has become. So good. I'll be dreaming about the next time I can get that pizza. read more

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable server, great country atmosphere and I loved the hot dog! It was around noon so unfortunately it was too early for me to start tasting the great draft beer collection. Being from NorCal, I couldn't believe they were serving Sierra Nevada here read more

Upbeat country music playing in a rustic renovated historic bank building. Big windows, cool and comfortable, relaxed dining in Honoka'a. Tried the pastrami dog - salty yummy goodness with sauerkraut added. The half pound monster was super satisfying and delicious. Kettle chips were crisp, and I hadn't had a Paradise Cider before, so that was a real treat. "Guava Lava" cider offered a sweet counterpoint to the salty food. Owner is a straight shooter, smart and ambitious, looking to expand the business soon. All around goodness. Stop here if you're driving to Kona and can't quite make it to Waimea before the hungries hit! You won't regret it! read more

We came in here on our way back from the Volcano national park. Food was good and it was karaoke night. We had a great time!

This little hole in the wall is the best place in Honoka'a to end your day great food and beer & is perfect to meet new friends!

Pizza was really good as was the pastrami sandwich. The pizzas came about 15 minutes before the sandwich so I didn't get my meal until everyone else was almost done. The young man at the bar who was also serving the tables was at best apathetic at worst, straight up rude. As we walked in, we said hi to him and he rolled his eyes and barely greeted us. Very cold service. One word answers and just acted like we were annoying him by being there. I sure he was probably overworked but still no reason to make people feel the way he did. I left sort of sad and upset and it took me a few days to write this as I wanted to sit on it and think but I'm sure that other patrons or management would want to know so they could maybe staff better orp support him so it doesn't spill out to the front of the house. read more

Casual little place for a quiet lunch. Food was ok nothing really special but was tasty.

Service is normally eh! Food is okay. No fries!!!!!! Im out! Typically pub! Nothing special read more

The pastrami on rye, with sauerkraut and pickle spear was excellent. Marbled rye, housemade pastrami and housemade "Ukrainian Freedom Dressing" was legit and entirely unexpected in this part of Big Island. I liked the ratio of meat, cheese, kraut but some carnivores might want more pastrami. The tater tots were a let down sadly. They need to be deep fried and I think these were old and pan-fried. And they had no salads at all even though several listed on menu, probably a produce delivery prob. I bought one at the gas station down the block LOL. But worth going to this place for the pastrami! read more

Good pizza and sandwiches. Lots of local flavor. Bartender was fun to talk with. Loved it so much, I got a t-shirt!

Ordered pizzas to go. Was treating some friends and wanted to try the pizza as last time we were there was under different ownership. Pizza was excellent! Zero complaints on the food. The prices though, I'm afraid we won't be buying pizza to go again anytime soon. We got 2 large, 1 white dragon and one pepperoni. Out the door at around $70. Good food yes, but expect to pay for it. read more

Hands down extraordinary pizza if you're not in a hurry. And if you're there, not sure why you would be. Settle it, order a beer, and relish in the savory flavors of this local joint in this off-the beaten path drive. read more

I can't speak about the food because we didn't eat but what we saw coming out looked delicious. This is a really cool country bar/pizza place. They had a very decent selection of liquor and the beer was ice cold. We hung out for a couple rounds just to take a break from shopping. The bartender/waitress was super attentive and very friendly. She made the whole experience fun. I loved the old school "biker bar" image. Super chill place to hang out and have a beer or two and a burger. read more

A gem in Honoka'a! Cheers! Great service. Delicious choices of food to eat. Great atmosphere in this humble town!

Great pizza, with creative variety of toppings, and lots of craft beer choices. Nice building/venue. Waitress was super friendly,

This place served an awesome pastrami and rye and barbecue pork! Reasonable prices, easy service, right at the bar. Lots of locals coming in and out for takeout and socializing. Will definitely come back here again on our next visit to the island. read more

Just moved to area. It was a sleepy Saturday afternoon lunch with the family. Food was great, love the area. Will definitely eat my way on all items on menu !!! read more

Ordered the White Dragon Pizza for $35 Plus paid extra for bell peppers. This is what it looked like. I give 3 stars because the server was very nice. The pizza was very disappointing and not worth the price. read more

The floors are sticky, most nights it's only one or two ppl working and as the bartender try's their best to serve everyone it's still a one man show. The owner sits in the bar and drinks everyday and doesn't say a word. The food is straight trash. If you go to the gas station down the road you'll get more for your buck. The place needs a overhaul cleaning an new face. It's very rundown. Pretty sad seeing it's the only bar in town. Do not recommend. read more

Friendly, cold beer great chili! Lots a Of locals coming in and out. Def will come back read more

Absolutely amazing, best pizza on the island! They offer 3 sauce options. Marinara, white & ALFREDO! my favorite.

Service here was great, it gives a very small town vibe. Food was amazing! It's a great place for after work beers and appetizers

I am a very picky eater so like believe me when I say I like the BBQ pineapple pizza, believe me it is good. (If you're a pineapple on pizza person, we're out there, I know it!) When I'm not feeling like meat, which is often, I adore their Caesar salad, especially when you add tomatoes. They also have an amazing veggie burger, which come with tater tots!!! The people in the kitchen know what they are doing and it shows in every meal! As for the service? Phenomenal!! Tim is such a sweet guy, he always makes sure to ask if I want something to drink as soon as I sit down. Anastasia is adorable and very polite! Savannah is the best, absolutely willing to work with you so that you have the best experience with whatever you're eating or drinking. Krystle is so funny and always makes the bar feel like a party! Michelle has help make the bar an amazing place to be, any time of the week! read more

Stopped in for a beer. Pizzas are pretty good. Crust was thin and crunchy, service was friendly and accommodating. Good mix of locals and visitors. Had a really fun time. Live music was great. read more

Nice menu. We chose burgers. They are cooked on a George Forman grill. Although, tasty - our food was served lukewarm. Only one server for a full house. We ordered tater tots instead of chips. They were barely warm, and chewy. Portions do not match the price tag read more

Stopped here mid afternoon after a day of sightseeing and very hungry. We had the French Dip and Pastrami sandwiches which were both above average. Actually , they were very good. Not cheap but we're in Hawaii- right! Nice personable server. Not much to choose from in the area so I'd stop in here again. read more

Ordered the carnivore pizza and could barely finish two slices. I'm a certified fat a$$ that can usually smash half a pizza. Best pizza we've had in a while. Definitely coming back for more. read more

Pizza is good - I have never had "the" best pizza, (I'm sure for you NY'ers & Chicago's deep dish pizza lovers - you've had better) "but" it's not bad. Also yummy, is their " plain garlic breadsticks " (not consistent, sometimes it's a hard stick - I love when it's fresh and it has the airy texture OMG), sooo ono, more than cheesy breadsticks (too much/greasy), Greek salad is a good choice too. Fries is eh! We go over mainly for the Pizzas (all great choices). This is always a splurge for me, I'm typically a, "make your own at home, type"! I love to make my own version, homemade is always best, I keep at it till it's to my liking - therefore, it's perfect read more

Last week I had there pizza. Saturday I had a very good margarita. The staff is super friendly and the patrons are friendly. Safe to say I be back. read more
