Island Hopper Taproom Reviews
Great place to grab a drink and relax. Erica is probably the best bartender in the history of everything.
Lovely place with great food, drinks and awesome staff. Only on the Big Island for three days but will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend.

Island Hopper Taproom offers excellent food at great prices with fast service and a nice "cruise kick back" vibe. The beer menu is outstanding with a variety of options, including nitro on tap. Must-try dishes include the Tropical Summer salad, K BBQ sandwich, and All American burger. The menu also features nachos, burgers, and salads, with customers praising the delicious sheet pan kahlua pork nachos, great beers, and affordable prices. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing quick service, and the bartenders are described as "super nice." Outside seating with TVs is available for game watching.
The restaurant is never crowded, so customers don't have to wait for a seat. The kids menu includes a scavenger hunt, which keeps the little ones occupied. Customers have returned multiple times, enjoying the delicious food, including the garlic waffle fries and coconut shrimp, which are said to be the best they've ever had. The wings and nachos are also customer favorites. The service is excellent, with customers mentioning their servers were sweet and nice. The restaurant has ample space for large parties.
The live music was enjoyed, and the server was nice. The chicken sandwich was good but small for the price, while the coconut shrimp was a favorite. Crispy, flavorful breaded pickles were enjoyed, along with perfectly cooked Classic Buffalo traditional wings and refreshing drinks. The Dragonfruit Lemonade Cider was bright and delicious. Everything came out fresh, hot, and tasted great. Hawaiian nachos were delicious and filling.
