Next to golf course, plenty of parking when we were there. Great service and excellent cheeseburger. Fish tacos were also very good, probably get the crema on the side next time (too much).

The burger with mushrooms was delicious. Too bad that the house wine was $9.00 for a tiny amount in the glass .

Our visit began on an unfortunate note. After waiting approximately five minutes to be seated, we were approached by the hostess without a greeting or welcoming demeanor and told we would be seated “in a couple minutes.” With no visible line and only a handful of tables occupied, the interaction felt unnecessarily abrupt.

A different server took our order and was noticeably more pleasant; however, service throughout the meal lacked attentiveness.

The Manmosa cocktails did not meet expectations in balance or presentation. The 8 oz New York strip, ordered medium, arrived well done, unrested, and notably tough, with minimal seasoning and flavor. The vegetable omelet similarly lacked seasoning, and the eggs were overcooked. The scrambled eggs were excessively oily. The toast was served cold and very firm, and even the pre-applied butter had not melted, further indicating it had not been freshly prepared.

The water was refreshing.

Overall, the experience did not align with the restaurant’s rating and left much room for improvement in both hospitality and kitchen execution.

Meh. It's hit and miss. Pros: Super friendly professional staff (!) with zero attitude with reasonable enough prices for a Kona Golf clubhouse bar & restaurant. Convenient as hell. Cons: some dishes are great (Fish tacos, w fries was 9/10) but the Hamburg was 2/10 (who puts bacon in a blender? Way greasy too.) And the place was built in 1974 and looks like it. With $50k spent on the interior by a savvy remodeling crew it could be transformed into an oasis of cool, but it's downright dreary as is. Reminds me of a military golf club from my childhood stuck in a time freeze. Time to invest. I look forward to coming back tho, hopefully it will get an facelift.

Tiffany was very mean.

My dad and I aren’t great with phones — and I mean that literally. My dad doesn’t even own a cell phone. We were driving around using Maps and saw a spot labeled “Johnny’s Restaurant” and figured, why not? We pulled in and asked the woman there if this was the place to get authentic Hawaiian food. At first glance, I honestly wasn’t sure we were in the right spot.

What happened next completely blew us away.

The chef came out personally and made us a custom meal just for us. No rush, no attitude — just genuine care, kindness, and hospitality that you don’t see much anymore. It felt like we weren’t just customers, but guests.

That kind of service goes way beyond expectations. It was warm, personal, and unforgettable. I’ve truly never experienced anything like it, and I felt like this moment deserved to be shared so others know how special this place really is.

Thank you for treating us with such kindness — we won’t forget it.

We waiting a few to sit down, However the place was packed. Football on all screens. Tiffany was the waitress for the entire place, except the bar. She was incredibly efficient. Even taking all orders precisely without pad. We had 6 people, with teen kid's. Give this girl a raise....😊😎

I’m a fan!!!!
