The Rim

Great place to have a bite to eat whether or not Volcano is erupting. Good service, good food, and anywhere from good-spectacular views depending when you visit!

Would not recommend the tomato bisque, it's basically just marinara sauce. View is nice though. (Of the crater, not the 'soup').

Hard to rate this place because experience varies greatly based on what you order. For the fish, 5 stars, it was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The pasta was 2 stars, edible but extremely bland, and the chicken was dry and tasted boiled?
I guess my recommendation is definitely go here because the vibe is spectacular, and definitely order the fish, but avoid the pasta at all costs.

A great lunch stop while circling the Volcano National Park. Had some wings and a burger everything was well prepared, no wait time for a table, fast and courteous service.

Started with the seared ahi, was usual they served it chilled & it just didn’t taste fresh! More like it was prepared the day before & refrigerated. Then I ordered the fresh fish of the day; Ono. The fish & the sauce was sooooo salty I couldn’t eat it…. the asparagus served with it was good. My partner had the Rib eye that was very fatty & very tough. The mash potatoes were good. Unfortunately i will not be eating here again. It was much better in past years!!

Overall the food was good. I highly recommend the guava flow cocktail. The views from the restaurant were amazing and we caught the sunset. The poke sauce was too salty for me, and the chicken was too dry. The fish was good though.

The hostess, bartender and our server were rude and uninviting. Food was mediocre 2/10. Dirty and tacky including dirty rug and shower curtains for decor. Toilets didn’t flush.

Great food with a beautiful view of the volcanoe.

Ate in the more casual restaurant. No bookings, lucky enough to get a good table for sunset. Food was better than expected - decent burger (nothing special) and really good pizza. Atmosphere isn’t great and felt a little run down. Prices okay for the location

Can't even get them to return a phone call to make a reservation and the web reservation system is DFW.

This was probably the worst service we’ve ever received at a restaurant. The Waiter didn’t check on us once or come to fill our water until we were completely done with our meal. At that time, we had been waiting for the check and my husband had his wallet and card sitting out on the table. The waiter came around and filled our waters without saying a word and didn’t offer to take the card or bring the check at any point during the water filling. When he took it, it took about 15 minutes to bring it back. The food was mediocre at best and not worth the price. The view of the volcano is amazing but we definitely should have come earlier in the evening to have a longer view of it. By the time we had our order taken it was already dark outside (reservation was for 6pm, we were seated closer to 6:40). The best part was the live musician who sounded beautiful and made the atmosphere so much nicer.

I ordered a normal burger. They told me wrong about an exclusive promotion for a type of burger and I ended up having to pay more, even though I talked to the manager. Absurd!
