There are many wonderful restaurants in the South Kohala area. A few of our favorites are:

Kuleana Rum Shack at Waikoloa Beach Resort. Located at the family friendly Queens’ Marketplace at Waikoloa Beach Resort, offers authentic Hawaii food and spirits, a world-class bar, and their flagship retail store.

Lava Lava Beach Club. Located at Anaehoomalu Bay at Waikoloa Beach Resort, this restaurant offers beach front view and casual vibes. Island inspired cuisine and creative cocktails.

Tommy Bahamas Restaurant at The Shops at Mauna Lani. Great food, good times.

Hawaiian Style Cafe located 20 minutes north in the little town of Waimea otherwise known as Kamuela. You’ll find generous size portion at a reasonable price. Try their Loco Moco. A local dish made of rice, a hamburger patty with an egg and brown gravy. You’ll want to take a nap after you eat this one!
