What great, unique food. Great service too. I had a very good and somewhat spicy soup and a decidet chocolate cupcake. Love the place

Wholesome food, large portions in a quaint restaurant with lovely staff. A nice find tucked away from the more busier spots.

There might be other places you can eat tonight but every other choice is wrong. This place is so good you will finish your meal then call your Healthcare provider to see if they'll clone you a second stomach just so you can eat more of their food. read more

So glad I spotted this place and stopped in! Soooo good! I had the steak nacho fries and they were amazing. Great place and great staff!

No. Almost $20.00 for (4) FOUR, 1.2.3.4. Wings!!!!! The chicken sandwich was dry and so small, again, another $20. Cheese steak was also small, tasteless, and go on, guess how much? Lunch for two was $100. Too bad, loved this place from way back but apparently quality isn't the focus anymore..... and the owners were there. Hate leaving this but it's a tourist trap It's A Trap!!!! read more

We expected more. Food was fine, service was lacking. Generally a pretty meh experience

The service was amazing. If youre looking for a small hole in the wall this is the place to go. The food is amazing and was out in just a short time. Highly recommend using the sauces that they make. You will spend around 20bucks per plate or burger but the food is worth it. I went at about 6pm so it wasnt too busy but during the day there may be a wait because there isnt a lot of space. Portions may be a tad smaller than some other local food places but it was enough to make me feel satisfied... read more

Rebel Kitchen - Cheesesteak sandwich with side of garlic/pepperoni fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Kealakekua, Hawaii

We've been to Rebel Kitchen a few times over the years and as soon as we saw the Cuban Rolls on the menu we knew this spot would be fun. They have bar seating, indoor seating and outdoor seating and every time we've been in the staff has been friendly. They source their ingredients locally and have house made sauces that they also sell in store and online. All their menu items are packed with flavor and the sauces go great on many items including the fries. We love the Cuban Rolls and have gone just for those and a beer or two. They're a bit pricy considering it's three rolls cut in half, but the flavor is great and it's a really unique item. We also love that they carry local beers here like Big Island Brewhaus. read more

"Home of the Kona Ketchup" should be included in the name of this place - we would come here just for this yummy goodness! Loved all the homemade sauces but this one was fantastic. We might have to buy this online on the regular! BBQ pulled pork sandwich with spicy pineapple coleslaw - nice sweet, tangy and moist pulled pork. 4 stars. Pineapple coleslaw was a little too spicy and lacking other depth of flavor - 3 stars. Da Shroom Burger - crisp bacon, tasty mushrooms and grilled onions and cheesy goodness on buttery grilled bread. Added their house made mustard and made it to die for! 5 stars. Pepperoni garlic parmesan fries - what a great idea!! And only for $1?!?! Outta control garlic on these fries. 5 stars!! Laid back island speed service but since it wasn't too hot it it was tolerable. Always appreciate the scratch made to order shops though! read more

Amazing food and vibe of the place. Such a cool atmosphere and cool workers that make the place so enjoyable! I recommend going here for a quick lunch or dinner! Take a look at the appetizers for sure! read more

Absolutely one of the best lunches yesterday. Great food , friends to share it with and fantastic service. This place is always a hit but celebrating three of the groups birthday week for lunch made it perfect. From the curry with ono and shrimp, famine burger with fries and two Rebel burgers one with garlic fries one with their special pepperoni garlic fries it was all so tasty and perfectly cooked. The sangria, beer and lillikoi lemonade were all perfect additions to our meal. Service was fast and so friendly it definitely makes you want to return again and again. read more

Gotta try the Kona ketchup with their fries! Service was prompt and pleasant, but I can see that they are set up for it to get really crowded and I got here before the lunch rush. They have local artist's work up on the wall for sale. read more

Loved the ambience of this restaurant. The staff are all friendly and treated us like Family! My family & I enjoyed sharing each meal. The shrimp pineapple curry had the perfect taste of spicy & sweet blend in one dish. The side of pepperoni garlic fries where I dipped each fry with their special Kona ketchup is to die for. Also, their Hawaiian Lilikoi cheesecake is one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had! Such a fresh & creamy treat! I highly recommend this place to others. read more

Rebel Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Kealakekua, Hawaii

This was our first stop upon arriving in Hawaii and what a great first stop it was! We were seated promptly and found the service to be top notch - very attentive and made sure we knew all the beers, special, and desert options inside and out. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the Cajun pasta with chicken and shrimp. The pulled pork was cooked perfectly while the Cajun pasta was the ideal level of spice for me personally and was also bursting with flavor. The deserts were next level delicious too. We would highly recommend making a trip over here and plan on coming back next time we're on the island. read more

If you are staying on the Big Island- you need to eat here!!! We found it our last trip a year ago and revisited it again this year and it was still an amazing meal! The Cuban rolls are a must try! I had the Da Rebel burger, and my daughter had the cheesesteak- both great! My husband had the Lomo Saltado which he swears is one of the best things he has ever eaten! The staff is super friendly, parking easy, and restaurant is clean. Highly recommend! read more

Very cute little restaurant a mile from my house. Had a rebel burger along with pepperoni fries. Excellent and great ambiance

This place I've passed on the road so many times and I finally stopped in... Great place to stop and relax for a refreshment. They have a great menu with a variety of options. We had the Ono fish sandwich which was delicious and on freshly baked bread. They have their own line of condiments, sauces and dressings. We tried out their special mustard called Mauka Mustard and brought some to bring home. I highly recommend it if you like a bit of spice. They have pack deals to bring home to family and friends, too. Supporting local small business makes me happy! The service was great as well... read more

We are locals and this is one of our favorites. They use local, fresh ingredients and you can tell. Their soups are my go-toNever had a soup there I didn't like. The display local artists as well. Cozy space and easy street parking. read more

Some of the best food on the Island! The homemade rolls are amazing. Great flavors and Friendly staff! Mahalo

If you love Strong Flavor!!?? This place is DA ONE! Tha amount of flavors in one bite is crazy. The menu itself is unique compared to local Hawaii food, IN A GOOD WAY. Service was lovely. She always there when you need her to be. Food comes out unexpectedly fast. The whole staff are kind. The ONLY Downside is that it's kind of HOT Inside. BTW THE GARLIC FRIES ARE THE BEST FRIES IVE EVER HAD. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite after walking through town. I saw a video on this restaurant and we wanted to try it. Overall, the experience was nice. The food was good and really liked the location. read more

We really didn't plan to eat while we were in the area. I wanted to visit the fabric store and a few of the other places, but when we saw this restaurant we decided to stop for lunch. Since I always like to taste falafels wherever we go, I opted for the falafel salad. The falafels were different than I've ever had, and they were less spicy which was a good thing and worked perfectly with the other salad ingredients. It was a filling salad, and the more I ate it, the more I liked it although I felt there was still something missing. We also ordered the home-brewed tea which was delicious. To top off my meal I opted for the chocolate cupcake which was the perfect size - you know the size that used to be standard. It was delicious. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and the staff were all happy and very helpful. We really wanted to return, but the only days we had left were the two days they weren't open. We'll be back for sure when we're in the area. read more

This place was a must visit! We were looking for something to scratch our itch for local cooking and Rebel Kitchen did not disappoint. The Cuban Rolls drew me in but the burgers, salads and entrees are equally amazing. I had the tropical sangria and it was one of the best drinks I had on the island. For dessert we were able to get a cookie ice cream sandwich with toasted coconut ice cream. The best ending to a great meal. We couldn't figure out why it wasn't busy on a Friday night but maybe that is just the sleepy town? If you are looking for a great spot on your visit to Kona, check them out. The servers were super sweet and friendly too. They may be rebels with their menu but they are angels with their service. read more

Nice ambiance and a casual eatery environment. Enjoyed my blackened ono sandwich but was hoping for a slightly larger portion size. Five stars nonetheless because the whole family's food was exquisite. Very good taste including the coconut curry and smoky pulled pork sandwich. Good service. read more

We've eaten here several times. The chicken wings topped with hot sauce or some of the best wings on the island. I don't know why it's so hard to find good wings on the big island. Great dishes representing a number of different cuisines and a really solid Burger and fries. Less I forget the desserts they are awesome. read more

Fresh tasty food. Small but diverse menu. Great service even when they are busy. Wonderful find in this small town!

You'll need to find street parking. Service was fast but we did arrive later in the night. Not a fancy sort of ambiance. My wife loves their ketchup and bought a bottle to go. Kids- mixed reviews on the Lilikoi Lemonade, but they loved the root beer float. We devoured all the burgers and cheesesteak. read more

Amazing fish sandwich with pepperoni fries with their own ketchup is to die for! Owners are super nice!!
