If you're in the area and you fail to stop for a malasada, you've made a serious error in life. One of the best donuts I've ever eaten, and I've had my share.

The malasadas were very yummy - dough was fluffy yet chewy and covered in sugar. We got the Bavarian cream and banana cream, personally they weren’t my favorite flavors, but they were still good.

We also got the two eggs and portugese sausage with hash - it was decent, nothing special

Cool place on the north belt road of the Big Island. Service was quick. I had a bowl of curry, which was delicious.

I really wanted to like it, but these were honestly gross. The malasadas had this heavy, lingering rancid oil taste that completely ruined them. It’s a hard pass for me - once you taste that cheap grease, there’s no going back. Save your money.

The food and service were great! Our group of 10 arrived half an hour before they closed, yet the staff was so nice and the malasadas were still warm! Our food was delicious and came out quickly!

They had no malasada so today they were famous for the wrong reason. 🥴

Overcooked fish, small quantities except the rice and mashed potatoes. No complimentary water. $2.75 for bottled water. Filthy bathrooms.

We love to visit Tex drive in. The warm malasadas are terrific and very fresh. I had a mango malasada, that was really good. We also had lunch. My wife had a chicken wrap, and I had what they called a local wrap. The local wrap is pork and cabbage, I highly recommend it and I will definitely order it again on my next visit.

One of our favorite places to get malasadas! This was recommended by a local on our first visit to the island and now it is a must visit every time we come to the Big Island!

Wow! Good local food but the Million Dollar view is the surprise! The donuts are nuts! But the curry and poi is awesome! Old and local is the best!
