“The food was delicious! We've been eating takeout for a while but this food tasted homemade. The seating outside has shade and the service was great. The two men behind the counter were very polite and friendly. Great experience all around! We had 4 omelets and a bagel sandwich“

“I’d return in a heartbeat! We were referred this place by our host and we’re blown away by how big the portions were and how flavourful our food was. My partner and I split the fish burrito which had a nice spice and zesty flavour to it. We took our food outside to the patio and enjoyed the views and lizards from there. Parking is limited but it’s well worth the wait or walk.Parking: There are a limited number of stalls in front but plan to arrive early.“

“Amazing food, extremely polite waitress. They just started staying open tell 5:00, and seating customers until 4:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, glad we decided to have an early dinner. Highly recommend. Def will send any friends that are visiting the island to eat here.“

“Here on vacation from Australia. The food was fantastic, tasted great, really fresh. Lots of local craft beers on tap. Absolutely recommend.Vegetarian options: Some veg options and a solid selection of the menu can be made vego.Parking: Street parking, plenty of spots, but it's on the highway, so the traffic can be a problem.Kid-friendliness: A few options for kids, but our kids liked most of the regular menu“

“What a gem! The mushroom sandwich was amazing! Added grilled pineapple and Havarti cheese, yum!! Fries with the garlic aoli were also so delicious. Totally appreciate the local ingredients and flavors were on point. Friendly folks working there too. Definitely check it out.“

“Willie's chicken is definitely hot, those who like it hot should definitely try the Lava …. This is an excellent hot dry rub. Paige has a healthy respect for people on vacation... very generous pours. The atmosphere and ambiance is second to none. Affordable prices, friendly and fun setting, indoor and outdoor seating and the most important thing is the food is great. Shawn, Soren and Ky..... thank you all for the invite and the hospitality, definitely a highlight for us.....you have people ready to move across a whole ocean. Looking forward to the next time already!“

“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!“

“Good ambience outdoor seating with a great view. Service is also quick and folks behind the counter are friendly and helpful.Vegetarian options: Able to customize oatmeal by using vegan milk (oat or almond) and add blueberries and strawberries to the hot oatmeal. Same for latte.“

“I haven't stayed at this hotel, but enjoy the delicious local food in the restaurant. I especially love to eat their famous pork chops and homemade hamberger steaks. The hotel will soon close but i heard the restaurant will remain open. If you want some good local grinds when up mauka, you gotta stop by Managos.“

“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 went here on Sunday branch with some girl friends to have lunch. Good choices on Sunday branch menu and foods were pretty good. Service was swift and friendly. The only thing was that 2 people from our table ordered Eggs Benedict, but they looked pretty different in sizes and presentation from one another. Hmmm.... Plenty of parking around this bar and they have live band here sometimes. Good place to hang out, drink, eat, play pool etc.“

“They always so packed & their hours of operation drives me crazy. May as well not even try to call in a order to go because 99% of the time they will enforce their “No Takeout” policy ????????? BUT THEIR FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS & reasonably priced ?? my favorite is their Steak sandwich !! Best I ever had - EVERY TIME ?Parking: Only fits about 5 vehicles“

“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.“

“Stopped here for breakfast recently. Food was decent but overpriced for what you get. Banana bread was exceptional. Service was fine but slow/average. I liked the outdoor seating area. It was a pain to get a key for the bathrooms in another building. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but fine for a quick bite.“

“I've been here a few times and I must say the food and the service is everything. You're not just another customer here. They make you feel like family. I was sad to hear that Jen was closing this place down! It's definitely a hidden gem!“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harbor House, and I must say, the service was excellent! It was the perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal of diner food. What truly stood out to us were the delightful fish bowl beers, which added a unique touch to our dining experience.Harbor House offers a family-friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for casual dining. Whether you’re grabbing a bite with friends or stopping by with the family, you’ll feel right at home. Additionally, its convenient location makes it an easy stop on the way to the airport or for a quick meal during a busy day.Overall, our experience at Harbor House was fantastic. The combination of great service, delicious diner food, and the fun addition of fish bowl beers made for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Harbor House to anyone looking for a laid-back dining spot with excellent service and tasty food.“

“Locally owned and operated family restaurant. Fair prices, healthy portions, properly cooked food, good service, and clean environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I had the Loco Moco plate and my family had the breakfast plates plus a cheeseburger. Bacon was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly over medium. Burgers cooked through and not burnt. I wanted to add a little salt and hot sauce to my plate but it was good without as well.“

“Lovely spot for a breakfast stop, especially with a window view. The pineapple french toast is very very sweet but fresh and delicious. I liked the eggs Benedict but wish it was the full croissant rather than just the bottom half. Potatoes are great. Service is friendly and fast.Check out my food Instagram @erinxeats for more!“
