Ordered the Haupia, as I'm a lover of coconut anything lol. Be very careful as this pie was very hot, like burn your mouth hot. But one bite, and the filling oozed sweet coconut with small bite size pieces of coconut pudding? Anyhoo, this small dessert made my evening : )

We arrived in Kona after 6pm our drive to our Kohala Airbnb and we were starving then saw this Mini Stop. It was a perfect dinner to take with us. Workers were so pleasant and helpful. I'm glad we stopped.

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.

We came to Honokaa on a whim for some site seeing…read more Decided on a little treat for our drive back home. So we got a dozen original malasadas. They were made fresh, some of the best malasadas I've ever eaten. Their dough was light and fluffy. It wasn't greasy at all. And when we ate it a few hours later, it warmed up well! We will be coming back for these! (For those that are from Oahu, these are much different than Leonards. I'd say from my humble opinion, better)

The very first malassada I ever had was many years ago at Tex Drive In. I just remembered how…read moredelicious these were, and if I ever came back to the Big Island, I'd have to come back to Tex. So it's been about 20 years, and the place is no longer the "hot spot" (maybe because we came on a weekday). There were a few locals having breakfast outside, but we were able to walk right up and order several different malassadas. We tried strawberry and guava filling, and they were quite good. It does make the malassada a bit overly sweet, though. I still prefer their plain malassadas. They are like sugar donuts without the hole. Now that I've had other malassadas to compare to, I find Tex's to be on a breadier side. I've had others in Oahu that were lighter and fluffier, which I now prefer. But no where have I found any malassadas as big as Tex's. So maybe Tex's has lost it's charm a bit, but they still serve up some pretty yummy malassadas.

I stopped at Burger King because I wanted to check out their snack wrap and I needed lunch. This BK…read moreis located on Mamalahoa Hwy in Waimea. It's an older unique styled building a large Parker Ranch shopping center. I walked in and was immediately greeted. That was a plus. I asked if the wrap came in a meal. She politely stated that she can make it one. I really wasn't going to eat fries. So I just regular chicken wrap sub mayo add cheese. What's a wrap without cheese and a small drink. It was $9.50. I went to wash my hands. The bathroom needed dire attention. Just wasn't clean. I sat in the lobby to eat. The lobby was clean. My order came up. My chicken wrap was hot. It was a crispy chicken patty cut in half with the lettuce, mayo and cheese. It was good but not something that I'm drawn to go to get again. It did take care of me for the moment.

The Host (Auntie Lisa) will call your name and then seat you at the available table. We decided to eat out tonight and here is what we ordered. -Zip Pac Deluxe (Substitute the spam for extra Hoki) Chili on the side -Oxtail Soup Total came out to $68.99 for these two orders. Service was quick, like we just ordered and everything came to us within or about 10 mins. Our server was definitely on it & was really nice, did check on us 3x.

I was so looking forward to dining on delicious BBQ . we had to order our meals as take out online because of young children , so we looked to order at 4:30 pm . so i went online and believe it or not I was incredulous that they were sold out of Every single BBQed Dish pork, chicken, ribs etc I was so disappointed and in disbelief That I called the restaurant and sure enough it was true! shocking for a BBQ RESTAURANT to run out of BBQ! because our hearts were set on having their food , so burgers were ordered by the family and i ordered the ONO grilled with a side of cole slaw and grilled pineapple, and O NO the fish was so tough it was difficult to cut with a knife... it was tastless and chewy ... threw away half of it ! It was not the fresh Ono I expected and love! hopefully this does not happen often !!! I understand that Restaurants have an off night sometimes ... but this was SO SAD !!! in addition there was something (maybe a spice or something on the grill ) on either the fish and/or the pineapple , that I had an allergic reaction to ! my tongue swelled and was extremely uncomfortable!!! I have never had that happen before... it is sad that the cornbread and the coleslaw were the best part if the meal! The burgers were enjoyed so that boosted my score !
