We went there for our last day's breakfast. We had to wait for 15 minutes to get seated. Once seated staff welcome us smiling and got us started with coffee and juice. Juice was freshly squeezed and one of the best glass of orange juice I have had in usa. Coffee was great too. We ordered Ube cinnamon roll, Moa - fried chicken with eggs on biscuits, and one chicken sandwich with fries. Everything was awesome. All tastes were yummiest possible. We loved everything. Staff was also great and had a very nice vibes around them. We felt we should have come here earlier as it definitely requires several visits. Definitely recommending. read more

The food, ambiance and service were great! Of course, we had to try their biscuits and we thought it was, hands down, the best on the island! A definite must try! Another must try is the ube cinnamon roll. Super moist, with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting and the cinnamon definitely stands out. The next time we're in the Waikoloa area (we're from the Hilo side), we will definitely come back here again. Mahalo Kona Biscuit Company! read more

What is this restaurant trying to be? A southern fried chicken restaurant with miso hollandaise? Wish them success. Went on a Sunday and it felt like an empty cafeteria. Lots of employees hanging out in the bar area. No customers at 3:00. Reopens at 5:00 as a steak house, ???? What? I think they really need to narrow down the menu; decide what they want to be. read more

We had Drew today for a waiter. I heard their fried rice was good so I order a side order of rice along with an egg. My husband had the biscuit and gravy. We along slip a biscuit with honey butter and a lilkoi butter. Everything was real delicious it was way better than the last time I came. It was pretty busy too. read more

After years, it is wonderful to finally have a good breakfast place in Waikoloa again. This place took the spot of a beloved restaurant that closed up over the past year at the top end of Queens marketplace. While this doesn't have the same scenery of some of the other breakfast places I enjoy on island, it is much closer and so it is a very welcome addition to my eating experience on the big island. For my breakfast, I had the Pua'a which is a biscuit with gravy that has Portuguese sausage and Kahlúa pig. I got a side of their meat fried rice, and all of it was delicious. I had a good sized portion and could easily shared my breakfast. For my cocktail I had the Kai Tai which should be thought of as a Mai tai with coconut rum and a delicious foam. Our service was exceptional, our waitress had great recommendations and was very attentive. read more

Ordered a breakfast biscuit sandwich plate to go as we headed out to the airport. The staff in front seemed to be confused on how to do this so there was a bit of a wait and we were not offered a bag or utensils. The food was delicious and wished we had time to visit for a proper breakfast. The biscuit and so fluffy and buttery. Definitely bookmarking this for our next visit. read more

The biscuits were quite tasty! Portions were a good size and service was good. The mimosa was too sweet though.

I've been traveling to the Kohala Coast for many years, this was probably the most memorable dining experience I've ever had when trying a new restaurant: delicious food, reasonably priced and nice people! read more

Our wait was stated to be 15-20 minutes but we waited around 45-1hr. They haven't been open for very long so it's understandable. During our time there, they weren't anticipating the traffic so they were a little slow. Pricing for food is decent. Food is good, loved the biscuit sandwich with extra gravy on the side. read more

Brand new spot that we were lucky enough to try on day one. Homemade biscuits, locally sourced ingredients, and everything made in house. We had 'The Pua'a', the Kalua Pork Benedict, and Mac Nut Coconut Waffle The Pua'a and the Kalua were tremendous and the waffle was stupendous. The waffle was cooked just perfectly, and was a little on the sweet side. The kicker was the pure maple syrup. For kicks I had a Bloody Mary, but only because it was also house made, and it had a perfect kick to it. Great place, give it a chance and allow for it to find its stride. read more

I would give 4 1/2 stars if I could for breakfast/ lunch. Service was great, food was great, pricing was really good for Waikaloa, but food service was a little slow. They have just opened and I think they are getting things figured out. I ordered the Pua'a biscuit and I am excited to go back and order it again, really good! My wife ordered a veggie omelette and she loved it. We will be spending more time here working our way through some of the exciting menu choices. Highly recommend. We will also try their dinner menu which is available Thursday through Saturday read more

I wish I would have taken photos before but we were starving and dove in. Food was amazing, truly the best breakfast we had on our trip. My wife had the big breakfast plate and the pork was amazing, juicy, full of flavor and the right amount of salt. I had the Kamuela chicken fried steak, biscuit and fried rice...carb overload ha ha. Loved the bacon in the fried rice, gravy excellent and prices reasonable for the area. In the Queens shop area, for us a great stop on the way out of the resort area. Would highly recommend, add this place to your list. I also had a great conversation with the owner, loved hearing about the history of the recipes, cooking methods and clear passion for this. As a foodie I love learning about the kitchen side of my food and experience was top notch. read more

Very disappointed with the service - mainly with the hostess. Despite us being will to be split in groups of 5 & 2 or 4 & 3 since we were a party of 7 - so we could be seated quicker - we watched people be seated ahead of us. After we had waited 30 minutes and a the 5th party was seated (group of 5) with a small empty table next to them. We were done. They could have seated us at the two tables or put the tables together. We live nearby and we're excited to try a new restaurant but it isn't worth it. Food can't be that good to put up with the service read more

We went there for breakfast for the first time... It was fantastic! We have always said that the one thing this area needed and didn't have was a really good breakfast place. This restaurant certainly fills the bill and more. The service was fantastic, the people couldn't be nicer and the food was next level. Great job! read more

On our very first visit, we had excellent service. The food was tasty with local flair, zero wait (at 10am), and the friendliness of the staff & owner was awesome. It's a new eatery and a blessing in the Waikoloa area as places like this are far & few in between aside from hotel restaurants with mediocre food. However our second visit wasn't anything like the first. The service was pretty bad. No wait time again but the waitress had to be called and reminded several times. For ordering, for drinks forgotten, for condiments, etc. that it took much longer than necessary to be done with breakfast. Very unacceptable. The food was again great. The crab & brie omelette was delicious!! Hope our next visit we can rate them five stars. read more

Visited for breakfast and everything we ordered was delicious! My sister and I both got biscuits of course. The Pua'a came with Portuguese sausage, brown sugar bacon, kalua pig and an easy uber egg with the most delicious gravy and sweet potato medley. The Kamuela came with country fried steak, brown sugar bacon, cheese of choice, easy over egg and another delicious country gravy. We also shared a GIANT Ube cinnamon roll with browned butter cream cheese topping that was to die for!! We had to take the rest of it with us because we were so full from our yummy biscuits. Go early cause they get busy quick! read more

What a cool spot! Loved the vibe and the service was absolutely wonderful. Partner had the chicken sandwich and I had the kamuela special. Chicken was juicy, slaw was tangy and the bun was slightly sweet. And the kamuela was AMAZING. Chicken fried steak had great flavor. The biscuits are moist and a bit of crunch. Perfect amount of gravy. The brown sugar peppered bacon though...ONO! It pulled all the flavors together in a great way. Their lattes are smooth. Coffee beans locally sourced from Kona so, make sure to get yourself a fresh cup. Lastly, ube cinnamon roll was so soft and dense. Barely a hint of that ube flavor but get that nice traditional flavor from a cinnamon roll. You wont leave hungry that's for sure. read more

The wait was pretty long, so just be prepared for that. Unfortunately, the hostess came off as really rude, when we first approached, she just said "can I help you?" in a cold way, and when we asked how much longer the wait would be, she just replied "I'll call you" without much explanation. It also seemed like they need to separate the hostess duties from handling to-go orders. She was trying to manage both, which caused delays--our table was ready, but we had to wait because she was busy taking a food order. That said, the food was really good. The bacon is a must-try! And our waitress, Rebecca, was very kind and helped make the experience better overall. read more

I've never gotten whiplash from a meal but I'm gonna need a neck brace after experiencing lunch service here because I'm confused and maybe even a bit bamboozled? Everything seemed good when we arrived. The photo collage on top of the table kept us pretty entertained. It was cool to see some vintage Hawaiian media displayed prominently. Each table has a different collage, giving off the impression that they were all curated with a lot of care. Service started off friendly. We had a tough time deciding what to order since the menu is quite large and the font on the menu is quite small. From a design perspective, the menu is busy and overwhelming. They also need to streamline and simplify the menu options, particularly since they're just getting started. We ordered the Honeybird Benedict, Oxtail Soup, and the Hilo Chicken Crunch Salad, which is their ONLY salad option on the entire menu. I wouldn't normally mention that we also ordered chicken tenders from the keiki menu, but bear with me... After we placed our order, it took 40 minutes for the food to arrive. That's when service took a turn for the unexpected. Before we could even put the food in our mouths, the staff immediately checked in to see how we were enjoying everything. Girl idk, you just put this stuff in front of us, can I at least taste it first?! The check ins kept happening every two minutes and it kinda started to feel like we were being rushed. Anyway, the food was decent. The hollandaise on the Honeybird Benedict was pretty addictive, especially with their biscuit. But we ordered chicken tenders for a child that looked like it was just an extra piece of burnt chicken from the benedict dish. It was a single piece of chicken that was too dry and too thick for a toddler to eat, and it didn't even really look like a chicken tender. I was under the impression that chicken TENDERS meant plural, so I was surprised it was just a singular piece of chicken. Don't bother ordering the oxtail, I'm not even sure why they offer it. The oxtail had no flavor and the stock was watery. The Only Salad On The Menu was pretty good! The chicken was a lot more tender than the chicken tender (lol) and the dressing was yummy. After we were finished with our entrees, we wanted to see the dessert menu. I guess we were asking too many questions because our previously friendly waitress began to despise us. We ordered the sundae and she couldn't tell us what flavor ice creams were included. She actually walked off mid-sentence as we were asking her. It took 15 minutes for 3 scoops of ice cream to arrive at our table and they were already melting. She still couldn't tell us what the ice cream flavors were. I'm also confused about the "sundae" aspect of the dish, as we were literally presented with 3 melted scoops of different ice cream flavors. No whipped cream, no nuts, no sauces. It was so sad and disappointing that it was more of a Monday than a Sundae tbh. By the end of our service, the staff were treating us like an inconvenience. To be clear, it wasn't even closing time and we were the only ones in the restaurant. I started to feel weird and wanted to leave immediately. I thought some of the other menu items looked fun, but I'm not sure they're worth returning for. As much as we'd love to see this place thrive, they just opened and there's too much going on. There are so many amazing food options on the Big Island. Kona Biscuit isn't exactly screaming "pick me, choose me, love ME." There needs to be SOMETHING differentiating them from all of the other great options and we're just not sure they're there yet. For example, why even offer oxtail if your recipe doesn't even come close to the quality you'd get from other local spots? It certainly doesn't help that they hated us by the end of service for some reason. We're usually polite patrons who enjoy tipping well when the service is worth it. We're not sure what we did wrong lol ETA: The way the owner is responding to customer feedback is crazy... we will not be returning. read more

The meals we ordered were delicious! Megan who served us was top notch. The paniolo omelette was tasty and filling. I would give Kona Biscuit a 4.5 Star rating. The only shortcoming was minor as it was a side order of fruit that was not varied enough. Wife loved her biscuit sandwich and son loved his sausage gravy on biscuits. read more

Yes! They have gluten free options! Looking to enjoy a delicious gluten free pancake? Well look no further. They have the best gf pancake I've ever tried at a restaurant! Their hollandaise sauce is the real deal, no powder or watered down sauce. You can taste the butter! Came here on the last day of our sister's trip to the Big Island. Food was delicious and they make everything from scratch. They even made special gf potatoes just for me. Matthew the owner is nicest guy, came over to check on us and brought me complementary gf pancake. In the evening the restaurant transforms into an elegant steak house. We had a late flight so made reservations to go back for dinner. No regrets. Absolutely amazing food! We were all very impressed with presentation, quality and how good every one of our dishes were. Matthew again came over and checked in on us. Oh and the cream brûlée was gf and the best! Thank you Matthew for your Hawaiian hospitality and making our last day so memorable.

The day before we were scheduled to leave for home, we realized that we hadn't yet had any macadamia nut pancakes or waffles. We noticed that Kona Biscuit had macadamia nut waffles on their menu, so we popped in for what we thought would be a quick breakfast. Yikes! Even though we were seated almost immediately, it took nearly an hour to receive our food. And how were the waffles? Mediocre, I'd say. The were certainly large enough, and were well cooked. Unfortunately, they were absolutely buried in thick coconut syrup. Although they called it "coconut syrup" it was much thicker than any syrup I've had before. It was more the consistency of paste, and I thought it lacked coconut flavor and was way too sweet. If you're Jonesing for some macadamia nut waffles, you should be able to do better elsewhere. If you're stuck in Waikoloa Beach Resort without a car, though, this is the best (only) choice. read more

Amazing food and service. Will be a repeat customer. Highly recommended. Moco loco was fantastic

We had an excellent brunch here during our stay in Waikaloa resort area. We only had a short wait to be seated and it was pretty busy. The food: Scrumptious!! We split the Big Island breakfast, a flight of biscuits and a guava cinnamon roll. Fresh ingredients, fluffy eggs and delicious brown sugar bacon!! The biscuits are pretty good sized and light and fluffy! We got a passion fruit jelly, cinnamon butter and a guava spread with the biscuit flight (2 biscuits). The jellies were so good! Then we split the guava cinnamon roll (which was huge!). And OH. MY! It was delicious!! Our awesome server, Brittany said it was new to the menu and she had not tried it yet! We told her to get one! 10/10 recommend Kona Biscuit for a great breakfast dining experience! Ask for Brittany! She was an excellent server!! read more

I travel to eat. Full stop. I plan trips around food, research menus before booking flights, and I will drive unreasonable distances for something done right. After eating my way around the Big Island, I can confidently say this is the best food I've had on the island. I've been hunting for truly crispy mochiko-style chicken and Kona Biscuit absolutely nailed it. The texture is perfect. Shatteringly crisp on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and not greasy. That you won't go wrong with the Honeybird Benedict. Unreal. Balanced, indulgent, and executed with care instead of gimmicks. And the mochi banana pancakes? Soft, chewy, lightly sweet, and addictive. The kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you've left. What really sets this place apart is the intention behind the food. They don't use seed oils. Everything is fried in beef tallow, which shows in both flavor and how good you feel afterward. Rich, clean, and deeply satisfying. Tory made me an awesome drink and the customer service was above and beyond. Don't miss the fresh squeezed orange- they are local Kona oranges. Hands down the best food on the island. Yes, even better than Hilo. Kona Biscuit is the kind of place that reminds you why food matters and why some meals become the highlight of a trip. read more
