31 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Pepeekeo

“We stopped here after visiting the Botanical gardens which is a must stop. You definitely should stop here afterwards to get some shaved ice or a smoothie. The friendly staff here are amazing and try the food here as well it is equally as great . If you like pickles don't leave without trying them. We had the pulled pork on a bun with pickles on the side. Shaved ice with ice cream, strawberry banana smoothie and a Pina colada smoothie. All were excellent!!!“

“This cute little shack is a Hawaiian classic near akaka falls. Nice menu with shakes, smoothies, wraps etc all using fresh local ingredients, many from their own farm. There's a small selection of clothing and hats and several picnic tables to enjoy your meal don't forget to look behind the shack for a couple more private picnic tables on the grass“

“Delicious coffee. I really appreciate that I could get coffee ice cubes for only an added $1.
Service was friendly and quick.
It's a great place to stop at.
There were food options, but I didn't see them listed anywhere, so I'm not sure about what they were or prices.“

“Best shaved ice so far that I have had on the island �. Creamy and smooth.“

“Worst Mexican food in town, Taco Bell may be better…. Sad to say“

“It's literally the best coffee I've ever had...and consistently. I've been going since last year and it's blown me away every time. And I'm from Seattle...the coffee capital of the world. As well as went to coffee school when I became a barista in Seattle. I really think it has something to do with their like $25,000 machine because the actual coffere isn't specialty. It's really remarkable how crucial the machine is. Best coffee on Big Island, for sure. So much so that I felt I needed to write a review about it after a year of having it. ?❤️“

“Antics ROCKS! Artwork throughout. Scrumptious pizza. My favorites are the slices, which are perfect for solitary diners stopping in for lunch or dinner but unable to take a whole pizza home for later. But they also offer carryout and dine-in for whole pizzas. And birthday-party/graduation/ho'olaulea (celebrations) accommodations. Staff are superb, checking to make sure you're doing okay. And kids adore the games (free, with purchase). Amazing Antics opened DURING the pandemic & has succeeded so well! One of my favorite places to eat, especially because slices are quick & fit within my limited budget. Well-done, Antics ownership, staff, leaders and lenders! 💚“

“Love all their smoothies !!“

“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 there pointing at the table he just cleaned. He says "no". Keep in mind there were at least four more empty tables. So we decided to leave. On the way out the thought comes into my mind, that he is going to seat the people who walked in behind us. So I tell my mother to wait a second and I go back in to look and there goes the host immediately seating these people bringing them water and menus. So I head back in and ask him "Whats going on here? Can I talk to a manager?" He tells me there are no managers. Then the waiter at the bar who said he couldnt do anything to let us sit down, says "I am the manager" So they lied to my face. Then I go to the bartender she barely bothers to tall to me and says "we are all managers" and that then tries to defend this discriminatory behavior by saying they are not being prejudiced against us. Yet the people behind us are chilling and going over their menus. and here we are not able to even talk to a manager never the less receive service at this racist establishment. We were systemically blocked from sitting. Then some manager esque fellow comes out trying to do damage control after all of this ongoing nonsense. To little to late. Im not going to eat spit burger with some bigot lougies in it. Mind you both my 76 year old mother have hosted various business meet ups there over the yeara bringing them business supporting Ola Brew and they treat us like this. Do not support businesses like this in Hilo. black people of Hilo be aware. This place will treat you second class. Over priced too, for the worst kind of service. dont do it, dont eat there.“

“This place is an absolute gem. We stumbled in with two hangry kids after figuring out that the place we intended to go wasn’t going to work. What a win! The food was fabulous, prices were unexpectedly reasonable, but best of all, the two gentlemen working there were so kind, completely chill, and made it a great experience for adults and keiki. We’ve been traveling in the islands for about a week, and this place is our favorite find. 10/10. Highly recommend.“

“I have never written a Google review before, but I felt compelled to let the world know that this is hands-down the best Vietnamese spot in all of Hilo! The food is exquisite! Fresh and most authentic. This is a family restaurant. The wife is cooking in the back and she does a world class job! Everything is Amazing! I have tried all of their Banh Mi (sandwiches) They are Superb some of the best I’ve ever had! The bread is freshly made soft and crispy. The meat melts in your mouth. The Pho is delicious, Mouthwatering Everything is fresh and made perfectly. They have a beef broth pho That I’ve been eating every single day, Because it is just out of this world it’s unbelievably good. There’s absolutely no comparison if you think you’ve had good Vietnamese food again this is it!
There are a lot of spots in Hilo and I’ve been to most of them. Nothing compares to this quality and authenticity in taste. You will be floored. It is just amazing. This should be the number one spot on Google. I highly recommend all of their sandwiches and all of their Pho options. 10 out of 10.“

“Ngon-hợp vệ sinh& tiếp đón khách nhiệt tình!“

“Soo many gluten free and dairy free options, and their menu indicates gf and df! The Jun kombucha on tap, blackened fish, salad, and kombucha root beer float are all fantastic. Note: check their website for the most up to date menu, since the one posted here isn’t accurate.“

“Very cool place. The staff was super fun and accommodating. Loved the atmosphere. Food was super good. We had the ono fish, Mahi fish, shrimp, fries, and sweet potatoes fries. All were so good. We did see the menu online and were kind of nervous as our kids dont like fish. The online menu doesn't show the non fish items. They do have chicken strips, chicken and waffles ect. I would definitely come back!“

“First, food is excellent! They do a very nice job, make it fresh and the place is very cool...right next to two other food counters, also right around the corner from the market. One is Thai, very good as well and another acai bowl place which we also love. I took a star because of the hours, twice now we have gone wanting this and they are closed?? Both times were within what they say open on here, but nothing there but a closed sign, frustrating because we love the food.“

“Cool 😎 🍺 Cold Girl 👧 Gold“

“I usually don’t write reviews at all, but I felt like I should this time. This boba shop is so nice and chill. My family and I struck up a conversation with the owner who is very nice as well. The service is fast, and the drinks are great. My parents like the boba here because the boba is soft. We’ve gone to Hilo for the past two days and on the second day still decided to come back here instead of a different boba place someone suggested us. Check this place out sometime!“

“This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The staff was so nice. they recommended me squid to try which i never had before, but it was awesome. Atmosphere is so nice because you get to go out and joy the fresh air. If you are in Hilo, I recommend stopping here.“

“We go there for our ICE CREAM CRAVES❣️😜We have ice cream dates every Friday or as much Needed like tonite👍🏼Also after school with the gkids for the chicken snack pack“

“Delicious pho with large portions. The spring rolls with peanut sauce are great; just ask to have them made with tofu. Servers are vegan-aware and can show you how menu items can be made vegan, if you ask. EDIT: fried tofu is not vegan at this point, due to the batter! double check with your server when ordering Updated from previous review on 2022-10-14“

“I went here one time while I was on vacation in Hawaii in 2021. I still have dreams about the amazing pineapple treat I got here. It's all good. Stop scrolling through reviews. This is the only review you need to read. Come here and make an unforgettable memory. Dream about it for years. Decide to move to Hawaii just so you can enjoy the magic pineapple every day.“

“We are traveling here to visit from FLORIDA. We ordered spicy Thai basil and mixed vegetables with cashew nut. They are so good. They are real authentic Thai food. Reasonable price and friendly service. Highly recommended 👍🏻“

“I AbSoLuTeLy LOVE Kum Yo's Okazuya! I can say how delectable each and every dish they serve is, because I have eaten them all!When you enter you can select items from their buffet line to create your own local style plate lunch.The mandoo are scrumptious, especially when dipping them into Kum Yo's homemade dipping sauce.Each day of the week she has set entrees in which you have multiple choices of freshly prepared veggies, cold tofu to limu.Fresh, hot onoliscious entrees and massive portions, yet very reasonably priced.Take out or dine in.Kum Yo's is my favorite Okazuya in Hilo!Love you folks and tell David I miss seeing him!Sorry there is no food left to photograph! I ate it before taking pics! My bad!“

“I had an amazing Iced Caramel Macchiato there! It was delicious & the vibe in the café was super chill. Nice art a well. 💜“

“They only have a few vegan options. I got the veggie sandwich and substituted vegan mayo. It is pretty simple, but it is done very well. I thought it was delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and are happy to give recommendations for other places to visit.“

“This place makes the best shakes and coffees.. everyone is very friendly. If your looking for shakes or coffee that's thick and sweet, this place is amazing for it. I really love the workers there because their so sweet and make you feel like they've known you for years. Their tapas are fairly good. Small yet savory, great for breakfast and brunch. There's really no complaints about this place, get your quick fix lol..“

“pineapple twist....and reasonably priced“

“Lemon, Oyster ,Roast Pork with Fried Rice and lup Cheong. Oh yeah!“

“Friendly customer service.“

“This place is amazing! The buns are fresh and handmade, the burgers are made from extremely good meat, and the on tap beer selection is vast. If it's a nice day, don't miss out on the outside seating. The place has a lot of character but everything is well cleaned and maintained.“

“The best part about the Hilo Town Tavern is the Exhibit Gallery, which is attached to the dining area. For 8 1/2 years the Exhibit Gallery has supported many of the artists in Hilo and has been a major cultural icon. The Exhibit Gallery supports the First Friday Art Walk and other major Hilo events. I highly recommend visiting this gallery.“
