Restaurants near Honomu

“I was in Hawaii for vacation and I was going to the rainbow falls, when in little town i saw the beautiful cafe, i mainly stop just to see inside and i was greeted with warm welcome, what made me feel belong to island. I looked arround and I saw i beautiful earrings and I bought them… when I was living I saw other interesting things and I ended up forgetting my earrings somewhere, I contacted them and Steph immediately responded and sent me my earrings without charging the mailing cost, that means a lot for me, because as business I know every little thing add in costs. I wanted to share this because I value business and people like Steph. I have been wearing the earrings every day since I got them. God blessings to you my dear!”

“I'm from Texas and we're skeptical of any restaurant that sells Mexican food that isn't within 200 miles of the border. I gotta say this place made me believe there's hope in other parts of the world. Those birria tacos were absolutely delicious and that pineapple aqua fresca was the perfect pairing for hot Hawaiian day. Kudos to the friendly and courteous staff as well. This Big Island has a hidden gem and it's called Birria Boss!”

“How does this place only have 8 reviews?!?! This spot is incredible, come quick before it becomes the next big Instagram spot for food, amazing portions, and absolutely delicious, everyone working here is super kind and beautiful. Def most memorable shaved ice spot I've been to, and conveniently right by akakafalls. - Steven from miami FL”

“1000% the best burger you can get anywhere on the island. Chef Cody's special sauce and bun to patty ratio is perfect. I've been searching for a burger for many years and finally have found it! Gotta try their matcha latte and other coffee drinks, they're all great!”

“My family and I were passing through this cute little town and decided to stop here.

We bought a couple of souvenirs including 3 jellies to take home from our family vacation strawberry, apricot and hot lime ginger. All three were not only delicious they were with aloha!”

“The sourdough birria and pork tacos were delicious one of the best meals weve had on the island. Portions are generous. Just a short drive up from the botanical gardens”

“Wonderful experience! We did the Tuesday afternoon tour and learned about the history of baumkuchen and some other fun history in an engaging presentation. If you want to see the baking in action, it doesn't happen during the tour time; instead, the tour focuses on an intro/discussion, a short guided tour around the beautifully landscaped property, and then a final wrap-up at the gift shop. Friendly people, tasty products. They also sell culinary salts; the green one is delicious. Bring bug spray if the mosquitoes like you. We loved this visit. Thanks so much!”

“Stopped for a quick bite on my way back to my hotel. Building is on the side of the road with only a small sign. Recommend use GPS to help you navigate. Parking is very limited. Spaces were full when I arrived so I parked across the street in the lot for the park. Very casual place with small menu. There is a gift shop type area for local purchases and a fruit stand on site. I ordered a smoothie and pork tacos from the menu. Tacos were good. Smoothie was refreshing. Menu selection is small but with a decent amount of variety. I would recommend for a quick bite or a smoothie stop.”

“Great place to stop for a smoothie or lite bite to eat. This is a very casual, roadside stand with outdoor seating. Serving staff are friendly and courteous. I tried a smoothie and the avocado wrap. It was the perfect combo for a brunch time meal. All produce is grown locally on their farm so you know it is fresh.”

“Today at the Hakalau Farmers' Market I purchased the freshest, ripest, juiciest, and tastiest mangosteens I've had since I lived in rural SE Asia 25 years ago. For $5 per pound!!! Also two dozen free range eggs (washed or unwashed). And a homemade sourdough chocolate croissant (which I ate before I could take a picture). But only four stars because a few vendors have attitude problems. Perhaps they think themselves to good to sell to non-kamaʻāina.”

“Awesome guys who are sharing some of the most delicious coconuts, ice cream beans, pineapples, and other local fruits in-season. We’ve all enjoyed the short stop after a stroll around Akaka falls State Park.”

“It will be wonderful with some local draft beers. This is the only restaurant opens for travelers until very late. Dictatorship of Astronomy has a limited power here.”

“We spent 3 nights at this resort during our recent Hawaii vacation. The resort is older, which we knew going in, but the staff we met were so friendly! Housekeeping did a great job each day and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee, hot chocolate, juice, and warm cookies in the lobby. We also had dinner downstairs, and it was a great meal! We did valet our rental Jeep, and I'm so glad we did! The guys were wonderful, and we loved it was a covered area to get in and out of the Jeep from. All in all, we had a great experience!! We really loved the location and how easy it was to explore around the Hilo side of the island! If we return back to Hilo, we would for sure book here again! Thank you for a wonderful experience!”

“Drinks and everything we got were soo delicious!! Husband got the chinese fish which is the snapper as of right now and I got the pan seared duck. Also got the soup of the day which is the potato soup and got a sushi roll. Will definitely be back here if we ever come back to The Big Island!”
