22 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Hilo

“Great food at a great price! Wailoa Grill is a small local grill with outside protected seating. We shared their grilled salmon platter, opting for their asian flavored slaw vs macaroni and boy are we glad we did. As you might be able to see rhe portion was enough for two. We'll definitely be back before leaving! This is a hidden gem of a place! 🥰“

“Friday afternoon , chocolate shake and cheese burger - great meal - lost perscription eye glasses at your picnic table at 3;30 PM . if found call at 808-885-7508 . thanks in advance Mike H.“

“10/10 I highly recommend a quick crunchy, savory and sweet bite at Mr Cows! What a treat after a long shopping day or even a mid day pick me up. The corndog I got with its sweet potato crust, and half mozz half hot dog center was everything I wanted just now. So crispy-crunchy, mildly sweet, oozey cheese, and juicy dog! Not gonna lie I expected it to be smaller but for what you pay I definitely feel the taste and quality meets those expectations. Man I cant wait to be back and try more of their awesom corn dogs...thanks Mr Cow! 😋

Ps: no pic because I was too eager to eat it all lol“

“Pricy American Mexican food. Slow drive thru at 4:00 p.m.
Good black bean grilled burrito. Nacho chips with guacamole - small. Bean burritos, just o.k., a lot smaller than in the past. Soft tacos definitely smaller than in.past days.

Vegetarian options: Grilled black bean burrito is really good.“

“Love it Cafe 100 having my usual Loco Moco sloppy & Sunnyside eggs and even if didn’t have Mac salad this morning, I will always return especially for the Chicken Hekka and daily specials #hukaonorono“

“To be candid, I'd pretty much stopped going to McDonald's because the food wasn't that great. This time was very different. I arrived to this location with no trash to be found in the parking lot. I was greeted at the door with a smile and asked if I needed any help. I ordered via the kiosk, but couldn't recall how to use my code and someone jumped right in to help. The food was ready in about 3 minutes and the order was correct even with my special requests. The dining room was very clean and the temporary out of service signs were gone from the soda fountain. I watched as staff looked under tables and swept the crumbs from prior guests as they left. No one said anything to them, they just did it. I must say, I am impressed. I'm sure I'll be more willing to take the kids the next time they ask.

Kudos to the manager and staff.“

“pineapple twist....and reasonably priced“

“The best pizza I have every order from the Hut. Kinoole location you rock!!! Glad I chose to travel the extra few miles. Almost turned down pizza because the only time I ordered from the Hilo location (since their move) I not only got bad customer service but the pizza was nasty. The pizza tastied like garbage with a doughy texture like wet dog. As long as the Kinoole location is around I will remain a customer.“

“Love everything ❤ Beef patties handmade every a.m. Loco moko & SWISS ? burger 'ono, biggest laulau w/ choke lu'au“

“Breakfast/lunch spot. Kawamoto was closed so we found this place nearby. I'm glad that we discovered this place as well. Since it was our first time, I asked the server to pick whatever for us and she took her time and listed each item and explained what it was. We went later in the day so it wasn't as fresh but still very delicious.“

“We go there for our ICE CREAM CRAVES❣️😜We have ice cream dates every Friday or as much Needed like tonite👍🏼Also after school with the gkids for the chicken snack pack“

“Taco Bell Hilo is the best one on the island. For veg options, no meat/cheese/sour cream… you can order “fresco” style & they substitute pico de gallo.

Thank you for being open & having great customer service. (Unlike kona side)“

“I really like this restaurant! You can choose the plate size and see all the options. If you’re not sure, ask to taste . We usually get a bigger plate to share for $14 – such a good deal. The orange chicken and Beijing beef are a must. It’s a fast option, and they have parking too.“

“Zippy’s in Hilo is an absolute gem for breakfast lovers! The menu offers a fantastic Hawaiian flare, with local favorites and creative twists that make every meal special. Their baked goods are fresh, delicious, and always leave me wanting more. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. If you’re looking for a memorable breakfast spot with mouthwatering pastries and a true taste of Hawaii, Zippy’s is definitely worth a visit!“

“Good pizza … for traveller like us, just arrived in Hilo by fly, we want eat something in hotel because we were tired. Good pizza, good sauce one pizza without cheese and both were overall good. The order by website was very easy and the the delivery girl was kind. The delivery was perfect in time as indicated in the delivery app.“

“honestly this McDonald's should be shut down by Ronald McDonald himself! McDonald's is supposed to be a charitable organization but yet this specific location is anything but charitable or compassionate or even employed by decent people. previously I have been rudely forced to unplug my phone from the outlet at this location when I was trying to load my McDonald's app in order to earn my points or even redeem my rewards. secondly there is no other way to log into my McDonald's account considering I was not allowed to charge my phone to login to my McDonald's account. now just to top it all off as I was walking by I noticed the drive-thru was blocked off and people were forced to reverse out of the drive-thru so I simply asked the employee outside what was going on and if everything was okay I was ignored but yet this specific employee could talk to everyone but me and I honestly believe it was because I am a foreigner to Hawaii because this specific employee answered everyone else who just happened to be a local or of the same ethnicity as them. the majority actually I can confidently say all of the employees are of Filipino ethnicity and I believe they would not hire anyone else of a different ethnicity. do not go to this McDonald's as I can confidently say they are prejudice and racist if you are not Filipino!“

“Good Local Food. Hot, Reasonably priced. Good Aloha Spirit! My Go ,To For An affordable meal! Great Floats. Loco Moco.“

“Panda Express in Hawaii is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious — easily the best Chinese fast food you’ll find on the islands. The service is impressively fast, making it perfect for a quick meal without compromising on taste.

The prices are great value for money, not expensive at all, especially considering the generous portions they serve. The restaurant also has proper seating, so you can comfortably dine in. Car parking is available, which makes the visit even more convenient.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and takeaway options are also available for those on the go. Overall, Panda Express Hawaii delivers top-quality food, convenience, and great service.

Highly recommend!❤️“
