15 Best American Restaurants near Waikoloa Village

“For a shopping market deli and price leader this place easily earns 5 stars. In comparison to the resort prices for the same thing this place is a bargain. It’s about the same as Conus prices. I found a wide selection of food choices. Don’t expect paper or plastic plates…you’ll be eating out of a paper take out box. A small eating area is available just outside the deli.

Parking: very easy to find spots“

“Terrific experience, great food, great dessert“

“We stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village during our week-long trip to Hawaii, and we had such a great time!

It’s located right next to Dolphin Quest, so if you position yourself accordingly, you can watch the dolphins swim while you eat!

Our favorite dishes were the poke nachos, the kimchi burger, and the fruit plate. And our top beverages were the lava flow and the pele’s keiki (virgin lava flow). I got the fruit platter which comes with banana bread and was surprisingly filling! The fruit was fresh, sweet, and refreshing! And the lava flow and pele’s keiki drinks taste just like a strawberry piña colada. So yummy!“

“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.“

“Absolutely, the food was delicious and service and restaurant were amazing !“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“Excellent Customer Service from Mike & The Owner, & Other Staff too! The connected Bistro restaurant, good food and drink! Cinema clean and comfortable.“

“The meatballs app. The Red Water Martini: delicious!“

“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.“

“This was our second visit to Halani as the first time was perfect. The hotel is stunning with a lovely relaxed vibe, staff are genuinely warm and friendly. I had the blackened ahi steak on both visits as it's so good, rare tuna with a lovely spiced coating and Asian influence in the coconut curried giant couscous. Try the deserts! The baked Hawaiian was a tropical take on baked Alaska, and the bread pudding was light and delicious. We'll be back again I hope.“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“Beautiful open air, beautiful food, beautiful art“

“The outdoor-like environment allowed us to enjoy our meal in an open environment although we were situated on the inner side of the restaurant. The service was very good. The staff was efficient, courteous, and attentive. My wife had ribs and the meat fell of the bone. I enjoyed the pan fried ono. Each dish was filling and very flavorful. We also had a chocolate dipped ice cream dessert that was large enough for both of us to enjoy. It was the topping on top of an already great dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent!“

“Great service, but kitchen was meh. I ordered a NY steak and kitchen brought out a ribeye. Didn't bother to tell me they don't have NY. I had to point out that food delivered was not what I ordered. Other than that, service and ambiance were great.“
