Hawaiian Style Cafe Hilo

My husband had really good food. The other tables around us looked like their food was great too. I unfortunately chose the new special ribeye steak sandwich. The waitress said it's the first day they served it. It tasted like a very greasy frozen Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was mostly cheese with tiny cut up green peppers. The bun was very soggy with oil and the meat dried out. Again the flavor was like a very greasy freezer Philly cheesesteak. The grease was leaking all over and coating the plate under the french fries. I actually threw up when we checked into the hotel after we ate there. The waitress while initially kind, was busy chatting with the next table, and I regret not getting her attention while we were there. The French fries were good and the garden salad tasted fresh. I really like their house made dressing. Eat there, just don't get the new ribeye steak sandwich special.

This is a place you can sit back and visit. It's got a homey feel. We had the Kalbi ribs and the Macnut panko Mahi. They were good portions and wonderful tasting food. The portions we large. Took home a piece of their Chantilly cake. Will definitely be back.

Generous portions for the price. 🍱 The menu had plenty of options, and everything we ordered tasted great. Really impressed with the quality and consistency across the board. It’s clear that the kitchen takes its craft seriously, and the staff adds the extra touch of care. Happy that I chose this place!✨

Absolutely loved this place. We tried a few other places to eat but this was our favorite. We came back several times and this was our go to. Food is delicious, fun way to try some local dishes, service is good, and we were well taken care of. Highly recommend! Officially my favorite place to eat on the big island!

Oh my god the amount of food you get from this place is INSANE! You truly get what you pay for here and it does not disappoint. Everything tastes really good and you better bring two stomachs with you otherwise you’re taking leftovers. The staff is extra friendly. Make sure if you put your name down, one of your family members stay nearby as they’ll call out your name and if you’re not there they will erase your name from the list. Nice seating outside and inside.
