    Food was filling and good. I opted to taste Loco Moco to know what they're raving about. To me, it was ok. The serving can be good for two. I couldn't finish was it. The macaroni was salty My husband had the flatbread almost like a Hawaiian pizza. It was okay too. Not a fan of ham so, I took off the ham. Service was good and quick. Our server was friendly. Ambiance, it's a bar so, a little loud at times.

    Lemongrass Luau Beer
    Rebecca C.

    The ambiance here is really wonderful with breezy outdoor seating covered by screens. There isn't much protection for rain unfortunately. Very popular spot and we had to wait a bit to be seated. Our server was extremely nice. Food selection was actually very minimal with only 3 sandwiches. The burger variety was pretty decent. The burger itself was very average with a well done patty because it was so thin. It comes with a selection of sides, but none of them are fries! We selected the chips. They were not as generous as we were expecting or hoping. Recommend the lemongrass luau as a light beer!

    Four of us stopped in for lunch. It was the first time we've been there. Everything on Oahu is open air and Kona brewing Company is no exception, the ambience was lovely. We sat out overlooking the water. They had a wide variety of Kona beers. The food was delicious. Our friend had the jalapeño popper pizza. It was delicious. The wife and I split the fish tacos. they were also very good and our other friend had the Aji tuna salad. It was huge. The service was top-notch however, we did have to wait for about 15 minutes for a table, but it was well worth it, if we're ever in Oahu again will definitely go back.

    While waiting for our flight back home we stopped by to grab a drink and this was a good location. We ordered a local beer. Service was good

    I ordered all the Back Yard Batch, which are single batch beers.  I specifically ordered these because Kona Brewing has a great commercial presence all over the US and these are some I have never had, nor are they available outside of Kona. THE BEER: SLAM Dunkelweizen 4.7% ABV... OMG... so crushable. This is an all day easy drinking beer. Banana, check, clove, check, lite lemon, check, delicious, check, check. Steam Vent Lager 5.7% ABV... this is an easy drinking Lager, slightly hoppy Dad Joke IPA 6.3% ABV... a little grapefruity, West coast kinda, but there is some sweetness Lil Bae Bae IPA 5.3% ABV... Lil Bae Bae has a bite.  Mellows out after the first sip. Bay Runner Imperial IPA 10.4% ABV... fruity, slightly hoppy, but not overpowering Lea, our bar keep was awesome! There is food here, fresh baked pizza and sandwiches. There are geckos on the bar, on the floor and all through the brewery.  The staff I was told, call themselves geckos. If you like good craft beer, this is a great place to visit while in Kona.

    Kona Brewing at Gate E6 is an absolute gem for travelers looking to kick off (or cap off) their time in Hawaii with a taste of the islands! I stumbled upon this spot during a layover, and it turned out to be the highlight of my airport experience. First off--the beer! Kona Brewing's craft beers are legendary, and having a fresh, cold Big Wave or Longboard Lager while waiting for a flight? Priceless. The selection is fantastic, and they serve everything perfectly chilled. It's like a mini tropical getaway right in the terminal. The food? Equally impressive. They offer hot grab-n-go dishes, including the iconic Spam Musubi, which was a delightful and flavorful bite of Hawaii. It's freshly made, warm, and hits all the right notes. Who knew airport food could be so comforting and authentic? They also have other island-inspired dishes that are perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. The vibe here is relaxed and friendly, with service that genuinely embodies the aloha spirit. The staff was welcoming and efficient, making the whole experience feel like a mini-vacation. Whether you're looking to unwind before a flight or savor one last taste of Hawaii, this spot has you covered. Don't miss Kona Brewing if you're passing through Gate E6. Great beer, delicious food, and a little slice of paradise at 30,000 feet. Highly recommend!

    This was truly the happiest meal we had during our trip to Hawaii. The beer was amazing, every dish was full of flavor, and even the kids' menu was great. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both adults and children. We left feeling full, satisfied, and very happy.

    LITERALLY the WORST staff I have ever encountered. Every single one of them was entitled and mean. Absolutely a palling behavior by adults.

    Is this the best lounge for business/first class? Far from it. But is it a decent lounge for…read morepre-flight? Yes. The food that was available was pretty good - 3.5/5. The missing 1.5 is for a smaller selection than most premium lounges. Their miso braised pork was stand-out and their lilikoi cheesecake bar was delicious. Most of their produce/fruit offerings were local and fresh - can't say that about every lounge I've been to. Staff were continually refilling the stations. Drink selection is quite bare - 1 hard seltzer and 2 beers, a few different wines (I didn't check). No spirits, which other self-serve lounges even have. They make it a point to tell you that everything is self-service, including bussing your own plates and dishes. As such, some guests still leave their dishes and trash behind and it really doesn't seem like anyone is paying attention, so tables can stay full for a while. There are very limited big/full tables with outlets nearby, so I ended up bussing someone else's dishes myself to use the table for our party. Everything seemed clean, including bathrooms. Someone is also regularly cleaning it. Wifi wasn't strong enough for me to download anything off Netflix, which was strange, but maybe it was just me. All in all, this would be a 3.5/5 lounge experience, but still glad to have it.

    Truly awful customer service, particularly from Fay. Lounge was not properly stocked. Overall a…read moredismal experience.

    What do you eat at the Honolulu airport to last the 6-hour trip back to California?…read more Stopover in Honolulu Airport from Kauai to San Francisco. Island Brews at terminal 15 in Honolulu airport is crowded and noisy with overhead TV monitors of sport events. Ordered the $15 Hawaiian pizza and the $15 BBQ chicken. both personal sizes 7" in diameter. Pizza ordered at 11:29am, and delivered at 11:38am, ready in 9 minutes. Wife's Hawaiian Pizza comes with ham, scallion, crushed pineapple, and bacon. Not a whole lot of flavors as they skimped on the overcooked ham and bacon, with only a few bits of pineapple. My BBQ chicken comes with pulled chicken, hawaiian bbq sauce, red onion, mozaarella and gouda cheese. Chicken is tasteless, but the long strips of onions and BBQ sauce make all the difference in the world, as this is the most flavorful of the two pizzas. Fast forward four months and we have another stopover at Island Brews. We order at 11:15am and pizzas arrive at 11:28am. The $15 mushroom sausage pepperoni comes with very little mushroom, but with at least 4 slices of pepperonis and a decent amount of sausage in a red sauce to satisfy any carnivore. The $14 vegetarian pizza comes with jalapenos, basil, mushrooms, and pineapples. The jalapenos add some kick to the pizza. Yes, you can take the pineapple out of Hawaii but can't bring pineapple into Hawaii.

    Island Brew is a small airport spot with cold beer and pre-made frozen pizza that wasn't great. The…read moreserver seemed overwhelmed and service was just okay. The vibe is a bar at the airport.
