Volcano's Lava Rock Cafe

Great place to stop and eat while visiting Volcano National Park.

The staff here is very kind! We were kind of in a rush for takeout and they made sure our order was ready within 15 minutes. The burgers are good.

Well we had terrible experience here. Service is nice but the food is pretty bad. Chicken plate dish was bad felt like chicken wasn’t fresh, beef plate was also horrible meat was hard and chewy, wings were overcooked, burger was very overcooked or precooked awhile ago and just warmed up before serving. The kitchen stuff is very entitled and disrespectful towards their guests. We asked our server to return the beef plate. Everything else we paid for, off course they did not offer anything else at all. The right thing to do would’ve been at least taken care of half of the bill. I would like to end this review with a message to the staff none of you better than any one out there what’s the reason for your entitlement? Kitchen lady confronted us on the way out yelling out the window that we are rude LOL for returning the 1 dish out of 5 everything we ordered was terrible except for the onion rings they were good

I ordered the chicken wings but when they brought it out the wings looked drowned in sauce and the wings were overcooked. The Macaroni and cheese was not cheesy it lacked a lot of cheese and it was dry in my opinion it was inedible. My son ordered the burger but the meat was really dry and chewy and also the fry’s where mostly raw in was all terrible 😣 would not recommend.

This quaint little restaurant served up delicious loco moco. They had a great selection of dishes for the whole family too.

The burger patties here are like cardboard

They are understaffed. Every one working there is very actively working but we had to wait 10 minutes to sit. Also the loco moco was not great.

I enjoyed it. Good food and fairly diverse menu. Nestled in between a general store/gas station and a good shop, the Cafe provides a great lunch or dinner option for you while visiting the national park. Tell them Marc sent you! Just kidding, they have no idea who I am. Go anyway!

We ate here on a tour of the volcanoes. It was a 12 hour tour. The Cafe was expecting us. Our guide had called in our orders earlier in the afternoon. The atmosphere was slightly rustic and very friendly.

I’d go just to see the cool lava inspired floor again, but then there’s the food! Delicious pasta Alfredo, loco moco, and pumpkin crunch pie, oh my. Great service, too! Nice store adjoins it where you’ll find anything you need for wherever you are staying.

Made dinner reservations for 7 two hrs before dinner and they took us in and didn’t realize how packed it gets. The beef stroganoff was amazing. Service was quick. Will be dining here in the near future.
