“Great place to stop on your way south from Kona or headed north to Kona. We went for Taco Tuesdays this time and enjoyed the grilled fish tacos, regular fish and chips, and grilled fish and chips and, as usual, had leftovers to bring home for the next day. Friendly staff. Quick services and Ono food.“

“This was a great place to eat. The food tasted amazing (definitely certified ono aka delicious) and very filling. The staff was friendly and the service was relatively quick. All of the ingredients were fresh. It was very close to the ocean and local shops, and there was a bathroom inside (which was an extra bonus if you've been out and about). I would definitely recommend it to others!“

“I'm a local boy from Maui, so when I came to Kona for a business trip, my first thought was...FRESH fish and poke. This is the place! Definitely a local spot that pleases both tourists and kama'aina. The service was friendly and welcoming, super cool setting and clean environment. But it's the POKE that steals the show. Fresh, well prepared, and a unique plate option I've never really experienced as a poke lover before. 5 STARS without a doubt.“

“This places is perfection. The views, the service, the food are all amazing! Get the poke bowl with spicy ahi and cucumber kimchi. You won’t be disappointed had. Allyson was incredible.. So attentive and sweet. Definitely recommend checking this place out!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jackie Rey's in Kona, and oh, what a treat! The food was absolutely divine, with each dish more delicious than the last. Standouts included:- Pork Chop: Tender, juicy, and full of flavor- Lamb Shanks: Fall-off-the-bone tender and richly flavored- Duck Breast: Cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and succulent meatThe culinary expertise and attention to detail in each dish were impressive. However, the cocktails could use some improvement. Unfortunately, they were watered down and lacked the strength and flavor I crave in a good cocktail.Despite this, I highly recommend Jackie Rey's for its exceptional food and warm atmosphere. With a few tweaks to their mixology, this restaurant would be a true gem!“

“My last night at the island was spent at Huggo’s with friends. The view was spectacular!!! The food you ask? Amazing!!! Our waitress was very attentive. We had a party of 7, and there was a stretch of time between everyone getting their meals, but they made up for it with free dessert! Definitely high on my list next time I return!“

“We love coming to the Fish Hopper. Affordable and yummy food with a great view. Every time we come to Kona, we love to stop in. Breakfast Benedict’s are our favorite. Don’t skip on their hearty dessert menu! Can’t beat the view, watching whales jump in the distance as we speak.“

“Wonderful view as the sun set, and GREAT service. Was told it was a 40min wait w/o reservations on a Th night, but were seated in 20. Excellent fish tacos, pasta, and fish and chipsParking: Small lot so chances are good you will park on the street but likely close by“

“We joined friends for dinner here last night. We all really enjoyed the eggplant appetizer. I had the fresh catch with the lemon caper sauce. The mahi was prepared just right. They know how to do fish! There were too many good choices for dessert. We ended up splitting the mango cobbler with lilikoi sauce. It was excellent. The service was great! Our server was very patient with us-accomodating us with a table change (it was chilly last night) and gave one of our party extra veggies and re-running the bill for him when there was a small upcharge for using a charge card. There was some nice music which wasn't too loud which we appreciated. We will definately be back-so nice that Kona is getting some good restaurants that don't charge an arm and a leg. The was that the lilikoi martini which was gorgeous to look at could have used a little more kick and be a little less sweet.“

“A tiny restaurant with a hole in the wall vibe, offering fresh and no frill sushi. Their red hot lava sushi roll is good, but the portion was small. I had to order 2 more portions of nigiri sushi (it's 2 nigiri per portion) to fill myself up.“

“Perfectly located next to the ocean with crashing waves, good food and friendly staff! I enjoyed the Poke pie bowl (delicious) and my spouse ordered the trio sliders with spicy fries. The atmosphere alone encourages us to go back (there doesn't seem to be many restaurants ON the water) but we'll definitely be back for more great eats also.“

“Food is fabulous, full flavor, and properly done. Serving us like family, prices are on the higher side. Everything you order is done perfectly. Beer is delicious with a great selection. Warm and rewarding. I loved the rolls and appetizers.“

“I ordered a to-go order at the counter from Gabby who was showering everyone who approached her with kindness and attentiveness! She recommended the yellow curry fried rice (choices of protein include: pork, chicken, beef, etc) But at the last second I saw the Sambal Beef and plunged.The result was now I have a new favorite Thai restaurant! Thank you Gabby for your service and for walking the order out to us while we waited for our movie to start!“

“A nice spot for happy hour with an outstanding view. Food was fairly tasty but nothing special. Mai Tai was nice, and service was super friendly.The breathtaking view is what truly makes this place stand out! We enjoyed our visit and definitely recommend it for a relaxed waterfront happy hour.Vegetarian options: Plentiful vegetarian options.“

“You can't beat the view .....we missed sunset but still beautiful on the ocean. Food was good......we ordered the nachos as an app and they were so so big we were all pretty full when our entrees came. One thing that stood out for us was our server.......my husband had a headache, we asked where can we get ibuprofen.....she said hold on a minute and came back w 2 ibuprofen. She was so friendly and took care of our family. Sorry I don't remember her name......loved her.“
