Ola Brew - Hilo Reviews
I went to the Hilo location with my mother last night and was treated in a very racist and disgusting manner by the FOH staff. There were many empty tables yet the host avoided talking to us for a half hour. Then when I asked one of the waiters if we can sit at one of the open tables he said, "He cant let us do that" Then when I finally was able to talk to the host. He said it would be a 40 min wait for food. Ok I get it, the kitchen is swamped. So I say can we just sit right...read full review
Known to be racist! Will ignore and refuse service to black people! All their food is mediocre at best anyway. DO NOT give them your money!!
pamello beer was outstanding.

Ola Brew is a restaurant in Hilo that offers a great ambiance, especially at sunset. The service is generally good, but it can get busy during prime time. The Dan Dan gnocchi is highly praised for its amazing flavor and soft texture, nestled in a dreamy sauce. The Ola hard juice drinks are popular, with many enjoying flavors like guava Lilikoi orange, although some found the rest less appealing. The Ola burger is considered one of the best burgers, with a good bun to meat ratio, delicious sauce, and melted cheese. The banana ice cream with strawberry swirl and Oreo cookies is a favorite among kids and adults alike.
The restaurant offers a small Sunday brunch menu, perfect for families or friends looking to enjoy a good meal with drinks. The staff are attentive but may sometimes need to be flagged down, especially towards the end of the meal. The restaurant is welcoming and creative, with dishes like the Gnocchi, Smash Burger, and Brussels being highly recommended. The Bao Buns, especially the shrimp one, are delicious, and the Ribeye is well-seasoned and flavorful. They also serve hard seltzer fries with a Thai curry flavor and a variety of hard seltzers, including lemongrass and hibiscus lavender flavors. Overall, Ola Brew is a fantastic dining spot in Hilo, appreciated for its culinary creativity and friendly atmosphere.
