I had the pork chop and mashed potatoes while my wife enjoyed a Cobb salad. Our friends shared a salad and a roast beef sandwich with onion rings that looked really good and got two thumbs up. The pork chop was perfect with gravy and onions. The only negative observation is that someone was smoking upwind of us. Employee area? Not sure but it's the law to be 20 feet away of doorways and cigarette smoke drifting down on our table was a bummer. Still a fun meal and well worth the drive. Next we really have to try Sunday brunch. Mahalo.

After 50+ years, some things haven't changed, but other things have evolved over time…read more.. The original place used to be on the "makai" (ocean side) of the parking lot, a place to buy burgers, fries, "green river", few types of plate lunches, ice cream... things like that. Had a few arcade games in the back, and we sat in these formica booths. A perfect after-school place to go, or place to stop by after the beach on the weekends. Later, they relocated to the bigger and current location next to the roadside. At first there used to have a few arcade games, but now I noticed those have disappeared! :( The menu looks the same on those old style boards, and some items are what I used to remember. But Sandy (I'm told the original Sandy still works in the back kitchen sometimes) has tweaked the menu so that you can still buy the same burgers and plate lunches, but some new items have appearedin the New Items section of the menu! Had the teri (meat) burger deluxe and bulgogi fries, and they were thumbs up! Brother had the Loco Moco plate and was thumbs up as well. So I will definitely add this place to my list of Kona places to stop by, to help bring back some nostalgic memories growing up in Kona!

Chicken we ordered had no grill marks like before and the chicken was placed on top as one piece. Very little lettuce, and the shell it came in was smaller. Really sad to see. I know everyone is cutting corners and making concessions to make a profit but this was not a meal sized portion. We've enjoyed fish and chips, sliders, tacos, burgers, salads prior to the changes. For old time sake I ordered a Mai Tai. I was surprised a lime wedge replaced the pineapple and cherry skewer I enjoyed. Staff is friendly and host was very nice. Music at 6 pm is fun.

Our birthday dinner at Huggo's in downtown Kona turned into one of our most memorable Kona…read moreRestaurant experiences. We already knew Huggo's was a beloved waterfront favorite -- famous for its oceanfront views, fresh seafood, and welcoming atmosphere -- but this visit truly exceeded every expectation. We came to celebrate a birthday and also to enjoy a place where our friend Elijah works on the line. Even though he wasn't scheduled that night, he surprised us earlier in the day with a beautiful birthday card and an incredibly generous gift that allowed us to enjoy a special dinner together. That kindness set the tone for the entire evening. When we arrived, the staff already knew we were friends of Elijah, and from the moment we walked through the door, we were treated with such warmth and hospitality that we felt like honored guests. The manager personally delivered our entrées and shared wonderful things about Elijah -- his kindness, maturity, and strong work ethic. Hearing how highly they think of him made the night even more meaningful. We were seated at a perfect table for two, right beside the surf breaking on the rocks below. Between the sound of the ocean, the delicious food, and the genuinely caring staff, the whole experience felt magical. By the end of the evening, we were smiling from ear to ear. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere unforgettable, and the kindness shown to us made this birthday dinner truly special. Huggo's gave us a night we'll always remember, and we're grateful to everyone there for making it extraordinary.

Dinner at the Theatery was such a wonderful experience, it starts when you walk into the restauraunt and are greeted by the gorgeous Hawaiian sky, an indoor outdoor experience. The decor, ambiance, music, seating arrangements, lighting, it feels intentional, intimate and classy. We ordered appetizers - focaccia and grilled flatbread. Focaccia 10/10 - crunchy, yet soft, grilled flavor and the butter. Mmmmmmmm yum. Grilled flatbread 5/10 - not what I expected... Lychee martini 10/10 - classy, tropical, sweet but not too sweet ;-) I ordered the glazed lamb shank - the flavor was beautiful, the meat was juicey, soft and fell off the bone, paired with coconut rice and coconut curry. It was an amazing mixture of different flavors that worked so well together. I think we also got the Kanpachi - it was good but the lamb was our favorite. Finished off the evening with the dessert show with the banana foster - it was way too sweet for me but the show was very entertaining to watch :-). Our favorite dessert was the lilikoi crème Brûlée. (Not pictured). Perfect balance between sweet and savory. Crunchy yet creamy. So delicious!! We loved our experience at the theatery - dining felt like an experience, indulging in the art of eating and enjoying conversation with your dining partner. Will go again.
