The specialty pancakes and hashbrowns are outstanding! My favorite meal during my stay on the Big Islands !!!!! Huge portions at an affordable price . You can't go wrong... just do it!

Casey Anderson

A trip to the island wouldn't be complete without breakfast here. The portions are some of the largest you will ever see, with just about every local breakfast favorite on the menu, even spam!

Jonathan Goldner

Huge pancakes . Eat one then use the other as a boogie board when you hit the beach . Skip the coffee .

Andrew S

One of my favs on the big island . The coconut pancakes are insane. Also a big fan of their loco moco gravy and the spam is my go to meat here.

Donna Mc

Tourist tip: Come hungry. Leave happy. Portions are HUGE, even the sides. The kalua hash is savory goodness & to sweeten thing up, haupia pancakes are heavenly... super ono!

The house made Portuguese Sausage , Loco Moco and a side of Pancakes is the perfect jumpstart to a Hawaiian holiday! Thanks HSC, you never disappoint!

Jennifer Krinke

Pancake is bigger than my head! Really nice staff you can split one meal between two!

Probably the most amazing food we've had on the island . The breakfast we got here lasted 3 days so be prepared to get a doggie bag.

Timothy Beneski

Best food value on Big Island ! Great food, HUGE portions , wonderful people! On a scale of 1-10, this one goes to 11!

The Kalbi ribs and lau lau plate lunch is amazing. And the portions are huge- you'll def leave with a full and happy belly :)

James T

MOK-a-sauras (pile of meat, eggs and gravy on fried rice ) will make you rethink your life decisions. But, it's delicious!

Epicurious

You'd be "loco" to order the large portion of the lunchtime "loco moco " burger here - a two-pound patty on a bed of rice , smothered with gravy - but if you didn't, you'd miss out on the free pancakes !

SO. MUCH. FOOD. The loco moco is delicious, as is their Portuguese sausage and eggs !

Dennis C.

Portions are HUGE here and still cheap . They have a sharing charge. Just pay it; ordering even an extra side just to avoid it just makes it worse. So much food. So good.

Khoa Huynh

The pancakes are soccer ball size, super fluffy and delicious.

Robert Nakama

Go Hungry. I had the Loco Moco and it was pretty amazing, one of the best I've ever had.

Stuart Creque

The Loco Moco was enough for two meals and the pancakes were nearly the size of manhole covers.

Carlos M

The salmon smoked omelette was great. Great portions. You won't leave hungry. Service was excellent.

Latanya Preston

The size of the pancakes are unreal. Great food especially for families.

Sergio Cordova

Holy cow. Come here with a hunger. The portions are huge!

Come hungry, leave stuffed! Huge portions and friendly local atmosphere. Samantha Brown visited HSC a few years ago and spoke favourably.

The three egg omelette is massive, and it comes with two sides. You may as well share it!

The clipboard to sign up for a table says "seat yourself if there is a seat available" don't. You will be asked to sign in and wait anyway :)

Ask for single pancake if you don't have a big appetite.
