DoubleDeuce

This is one of the more ideal places within the Kona walkable area to stare out at the sea and grab some grub or a drink...or just use the bathrooms and step outside for the amazing view .

Natalie M

Great food and service. Sue is the OG of the inn and mai tais . She'll tell you. The mai tais are great but strong!!

Lance Owens

The Caesar's Salad , topped with the fresh catch of the day - cooked Cajun style - is AWESOME and a full meal in itself.

Ishani Sanyal

Good deli sandwiches , burgers , and things you typically find in American grills. Great seaside views but a bit pricy overall.

Brodie Olmstead

Food is pretty terrible, but the you can't beat the view . Just grab a drink and enjoy the sunset .

Michael Peerless

Best Mai Tais anywhere. Enjoy the wood interior and belt-driven fan system. Old school Hawaii at its best.

Nancy Argent

Best Mai Tai ! We like eating at the bar -- great view of the ocean!!

Christopher Suranna

Order the world famous Mai Tai and enjoy the sunset !

RC

Come early and get a seat for sunset .

Richard Wright

Get reservation for sunset . Try the stuffed Ono and drown yourself in the strongest Mai tai in town .

Jon B.

Calamari sandwich is excellent.

Julie Ziemelis

The mai tais are tasty and strong. Be in the bar before sunset and watch them slide the overhead drape away for a FANTASTIC view of the sky and sunset !

Mark J

This joint DOES NOT WATER DOWN THEIR happy hour drinks . Go. Here. Wow!!!

Mark J.

Some of the best and freshest calamari I've had in the entire United States

Mike Kass

Views are great. Service is adequate. Stick with simple food - fried is probably best. It's really about the views here...not the food.

Helen Zhang

Come for the ambiance and sunset , not the food, but the food is surprisingly ok

Julie Ziemelis

The Mai Tais here are awesome and definitely have a kick-yummy!

Christiann M

Key West meets Hawaiian atmosphere. Best Lava Flow (cocktail ).

Julie Ziemelis

Most of the food comes with a side of chips .. Splurge and order the basket of steak fries ! Yummmmay!

Michael Barth

Nice air conditioning in the lobby & models of record fish caught :)

Michael Chaille

Mai tai is great! Calamari is steak not the bits. But good for bar food. Face the water and pray for the green flash .

Christiann M

the specialty drinks are the best cocktails we've had in Kona so far

michael nerenburg

Calamari sandwich was good. Not sure what people on here are complaining about.

Dave Allen

Best Piña Coladas in town !

Alex Skeen

When she asks if I want potato chips , she means fries . Not use to people to saying it that way.

Rick Garpow

Solid food, slow service. Great location

Jon Darveau

Kona mud pie . If you dont get that here you screwed up.

Aaron

Cool bar tender, recommend the Longboard!

Julie Ziemelis

Awesome place for the sunset !

Fusion Brewing

Mud pie is awesome.

Baelson Duque

All the sea food except the catch of the day way previously frozen. Really bad.

Susana Galeano

Great view ! But the Calamari Sandwich was not approved :(

Jeff Kanarish

Note most of the positive comments are about cocktails . Food is bland and $$$. You're paying for ocean view , not good food.

Hannah Crean

Kona Mud Pie is amazing!!

Alex Skeen

Sorry, it is actual potato chips . Fries only co

Rich Grutzmacher
