15 Best American Restaurants near Waikoloa Village

“Terrific experience, great food, great dessert“

“We bought the egg sandwich and the tuna & egg sandwich for breakfast, and even the next morning, the bread was still soft and fluffy. Both were generously sized and really delicious.🤤 We also picked up a ribeye steak, and it turned out perfectly delicious just by pan-searing it.🥩“

“Lagoon Grill is the ultimate casual poolside spot at the Hilton Waikoloa Village — you literally dine steps away from the massive saltwater lagoon where dolphins swim and play right in front of you.

The open-air setting with ocean breezes and that constant dolphin entertainment makes it feel like a true Hawaiian resort lunch experience.

The menu sticks to classic grill fare: burgers (the Hawaiian Bacon Barbecue and Steakhouse Korean-style are popular), fish tacos, chicken katsu sandwich, poke salad, hot dogs, salads, and a few Hawaiian bowls. Portions are generous and cooking staff is extremely fast. Service is usually friendly and quick, perfect when you’re in a swimsuit or between lagoon activities.“

“I wanted to Thank you for the amazing time dining at your establishment. The highlight of all was our Server Rose, she went above and beyond both nights we dined there. Rose is a exceptional Server and I hope you appreciate her as much as we did. Hopefully it will get back to Rose that we feel like she's a great person...“

“We had their special Mother's Day, buffet brunch and there was a great selection of food available, including an omelette station, prime rib, crab, sushi, salad, etc. Everything tasted very fresh and the brunch included bottomless mimosas. While it was a buffet, our server, Krystine, was very much on top of things, keeping an eye out for us. She was exceptional. There was a capable duet providing live background pop music. Tables were far enough removed that it wasn't too loud. It was a little warm because the air conditioner was malfunctioning, but not unpleasantly so. All in all, a very successful Mother's Day celebratory brunch, and I would recommend it, if the price is right for you.“

“Nice and clean place, by the golf course and the beach. The food was amazing as was the service. Our waiter was Kuhoa and he was super nice and attentive. I had the noodles with veggies and my boyfriend had a hot dog. Both dishes were delicious ?!! We definitely will be coming back here.“

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.“

“A lovely evening at a restaurant that seems to have found its stride in menu offerings. It has expanded its seating in a way which affords more outdoor options. Totally pleasant from start to finish. The wait staff are attentive and professional as well“

“Warm, friendly, welcoming casual atmosphere, excellent food, seems like a well-loved local hangout, good music.“

“Kawika was an amazing bartender/server. He kept our drinks full, kept us laughing, and was super attentive. He described the lobster fried rice and made it sound so good that we decided to order it. It was delicious!!!!! Then he sold us the mud pie and again it was a winner. Thank you Kawika for your knowledge, aloha, and hospitality“

“We dined here during our stay at the Mauna Kea Resort. We had a beautiful table with a view of the ocean. The Hawaiian music and hula dancer were outstanding. We enjoyed the drinks and the food. Our Server Beverly was professional yet personable. We hope to return soon.“

“Food was great, I had a falafel platter. Andrew had a burger. We sat at the bar to avoid table wait time. I think last call was 7:45 and they cleaned up and turned lights out by 8. Pricey but that’s expected in a beach side resort in Hawai’i.“
