46 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Captain Cook

“Literally THE BEST food and service we’ve had since we got here. This is the holy grail we’ve been looking for on fresh local caught fish and local sourced goods. 10/10 highly recommend“

“Always our first stop for breakfast when we get to the Island.“

“This is a wonderful little place, very close to Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. Amazing selection of poke varieties and side dishes. My wife had the Slippery Hawaiian Poke with shoyu and sesame. I had the DHawaiian Poke plus the Wasabi Poke, more on the spicy side which I like. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!“

“This is by far our favorite breakfast place on the entire island. The view is amazing. The staff is fantastic. The food and coffee are the best that you can find! Each time we come back we buy extra beans just to take home a taste of menehune❤️“

“It was delicious and great service!“

“Amazing Tacoz with unique sauces! highly recommend!“

“Awesome, fresh food with healthy options! And so close to work!! 😁“

“We came to visit Kona and staying nearby, and thrilled to find this gem of a coffee stand. It is located outside and has an area to sit outside to drink your coffee or Matcha. Both of the owners are super friendly, and offer great suggestions for things to do or see. The coffee and Matcha is exceptional, smooth and so delicious. I like that they offer oat milk as an alternative as well. Absolutely worth it to check out this coffee shop. Plenty of parking and also other shops/stands to check out in the market area while you enjoy your coffee.“

“We had an amazing coffee flight tasting. Not only did we have coffee to sample but they did pairing with products that they make from the farm. Justin was our coffee tour guide. He was great. We also did their game trying to identify the oils by smelling them. It was the best experience for coffee tasting in Kailua Kona area. I highly recommend it.“

“Cute little food truck in the big island🥹. All I wanted after snorkeling was just some simple, home-style food, and this food truck hit the spot. The dishes were clean, straightforward, not overly seasoned, and not greasy. The staff were also extremely friendly, and easy to have a conversation with!“

“Great gelato excellent service.“

“Clean tables, friendly staff, roomy and THE BEST WAFFLE WE EVER HAD!!!! Gotta do the CHANTILLY WAFFLE ! We loved the Big Island Grill so much, we went three times for breakfast during our vacay. Hubby LOVED the Loco Moco. I wish this restaurant existed in our town 💕 and seriously the chantilly waffle deserves an award ⭐️“

“Great gelato excellent service.“

“I absolutely adore this place and go out of my way to enjoy it“

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.“

“Our food was delicious and made to order. Kalua Loco moco was the first for me but so glad I tried it. Husband had the fresh ahi tuna sandwich, cooked great. 👍🏻“

“Hands down phenomenal! Rosie was a great server and took great care of us. The lemonade was unbelievably good and the food was top tier. I'm glad that Kealakekua has a restaurant of this caliber. Get the party pack of sauces, you won't regret it.“

“This was the culinary highlight of our trip to the big island! Sam and Jennifer are super kind in explaining the business-all local ingredients! Premium ingredients (local chocolate, Kona hinted brownies-Mac nut base ice cream)-wowza! Serious stuff! Come support this incredible shop. Yum!“

“We stayed at the Marriott and swung in to the coffee shop for breakfast. The drinks were perfect - latte had a nice layer of foam, and a heart to boot. The Ube cold brew was unexpectedly delicious - easy to see why it's a staff pick! We tried two different croffles and honestly I dont know why people make real waffles anymore, when they can have one of these instead. The waffle was PERFECTION, layered and crispy and buttery and chewy in the best ways. I ordered the garlic bread grilled cheese and would eat it every day if I had the chance. The chips were nicely seasoned too! Breakfast sandwich was eaten too fast by my husband to take a picture, but I heard it was good.

2 drinks, 2 croffles, grilled cheese and a breakfast sandwich was $58 before tip. Definitely reasonable considering island pricing (I actually think I pay more for a large latte in Minnesota than we paid here!)

11/10 would recommend - we'll probably go back for breakfast tomorrow!“

“The people were nice, the food was delicious, including the pastries, and it is a nice little shop to have a bite to eat. Would definitely return if I come back to area.“

“This was an awesome experience for a (know-it-all) home roaster from Arkansas (me). I highly recommend the roasting tour to any coffee connoisseurs. Thanks for a great experience!“

“Fantastic Acai bowls. We visited recently from the UK and as soon as we discovered them we returned every day until we left!!“

“we got the drifter large açaí bowl (32oz, $18). it was absolutely delicious with generous quantities. i really enjoyed the nice crunch of the cacao nibs and granola. i do think the açaí base was a tad bit more watery than i prefer, but overall i’m still very very satisfied.“

“We love this place because the coffee is so good. Staff kind and knowledgeable. They offer a cool mail order service with nice savings to keep you supplied with beans. Great gift shop. A fun time in Naalehu.“

“Very good food and coffee, friendly staff. However, the inside of the restaurant was bizarre with an unappealing arcade room attached. The inside could definitely use a different vibe. Almost didn’t eat here when I walked in. Glad I stayed and ate though, the patio was a nicer spot to eat and chill.“

“Awesome 👏 [Original] Awesome 👏“

“The best Pina Colada's and an awesome view! We go Everytime we make it to Kona.“

“Food o Hawaii is by far the best delivery service. Noah is the best as well!!“

“My husband got a ninja star roll and said this was some of the best sushi he’s ever had. The wait time said 2 hours when we first walked up, but we only got the 1 roll and only waited maybe 10 minutes, so we were really happy about that.

Definitely a must try when in Kona!“

“Perfect spot on Ali’i drive. Went there twice in a day because it was THAT good! Day or night it’s a great spot to get a frozen drink, hangout in a comfy chair and enjoy the view. The staff is fantastic and great to talk to. Will be going back!“

“If you're looking for fresh poke with 0 frills, this is the spot. I ordered a platter which came with 4 poke option and 2 sides. I got seaweed salad and 4 hearty size scoops of yummy fish. Parking is hard to find and there are a few picnic tables for your dining pleasure. Worth it 💯“

“Love the food We are making this our favorite food spot. The BOYB was great“

“Ryan was our bartender and he was so nice and friendly!!“

“We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset while we sipped a Maitai. Followed by a delicious Caprese appetzer and the entrees which included Egg plant parmigiana and Aloha Chicken and Build your own pasta. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and extremely professional. all in all we had an excellent experience hope you try it.“

“Pleasantly surprised . . My hubby didn't want to go because he said nothing in this location has ever been good. I said c'mon . . Let's give it a try. Boy did he change his mind. The smoked tri tip flat bread and tacos were AMAZING !! We both left there wanting more. So good 🥰“

“We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday breakfast by the water listening to a musician play great island music. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent. She was quick, knowledgeable, and the food was amazing!“

“The food is awesome the owner is friendly the view is amazing ❤️“

“Check it out! Sooo awesome!!“

“When in kona you must grab something from here. Everything is amazing and the people are awesome.“

“Excelente café y un lugar muy agradable“

“AMAZING food! The service was just as amazing as the food. Definitely Celiac safe and great for vegans also. They take food allergies very seriously. Our new fav restaurant in Kona and we can’t wait to go back!“

“I ate there twice in March, and twice in April, not brisk service, Hawaiian leisure!, but incredible food! The coconut shrimp, with either sauce (although I loved the sweet chili), both panko and beer battered fish and chips were delicious, and I never expected to find THE tastiest BLT sandwich I have ever eaten!“

“We were here after sunrise on Dec 26th . OUR order :
Local Hawaiian Awa
Chicken and butterfish lau lau
Sweet potato in coconut milk appetizer

Awa ( Hawaiian Cava)- was unique, it is made from the root of pepper plant . It is an acquired taste , so very glad we tried it. We drank our bowl.

CHICKEN LAU LAU- the greens , Butterfield combo was great. Kimchi being a good accompaniment. This was a good satisfying bowl of food. Comes with - purple sweet potato, greens butter fish n chicken, 2 balls of rice topped with furikake, kimchi.

Sweet potato in coconut milk- this was a disappointment. We couldn't eat it. The root veggie was bland, the coconut milk was not seasoned. I had eaten something similar to this in a luau with coconut cream and loved it. This dish here was sub par.“

“Great coffee and always a positive atmosphere inside the shop.“

“Our second visit this vacation and by far our favorite foods and drinks of all the island. Great staff to top off the experience.“

“Would recommend! We did delivery to the Kona Tiki Hotel. It took about an hour for a large custom pizza and macadamia nut pesto bread. The wait was reasonable to us, saved us from trekking out. All in it was about $75 - we did a half & half pizza with 3 different topping on each half - - toppings are $2.50 each (delivery fee and tip included). Our delivery person (“Chang”) was super friendly!“
