    Chopped Steak and Boneless Chicken plate- had more pieces, had eaten a few!

    What's makes a plate lunch even more "Ono" = delicious, is the customer service that was provided. Which was AWESOME! Genuinely friendly! My first time at Blanes (visiting from Oahu) and I tried the Boneless Chicken plate. The batter to the chicken was perfect, crispy in texture and so tasty. We also tried the Chopped Steak and that was so flavorful! Best ever!!! The open air seating was clean and throughout us eating, she was tending to the tables that people had eaten at. It just makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. Definitely returning to Blanes!

    Love their signature Korean Boneless Chicken plate! Tasty and so delicious. Been a favorite dish since the time they were located on Waianuenue Ave. I knew Blaine since our high school days... I miss him.

    Slush Float

    I've only ever gone here to get a slush float, but I did go twice for my very short stay in Hilo. They have a pretty large menu with a variety of different foods. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find something for yourself. Honestly, I'll just keep coming back when I'm in Hilo for slush floats.

    I asked my son what was his favorite restaurant in Hawaii this trip and he said "Blane's" without any hesitation. We love it so much we went twice it's also funny that it's called a drive in because there is no drive in here & Blanes serves fresh local Hawaiian food plate lunches, big portions and in an open air dining room. My favorites are the Korean chicken and the strawberry slush float. It is a combination of a strawberry icee with vanilla ice cream, so yummy! I have never seen this anywhere else but Hawaii! If you are ever in Hilo I recommend you stop by.

    New owners and I think the food got better. Ordered at counter and had our meal in 10 minutes during busy lunch time. Clean and tidy too!

Ambience is great for Bar. Amazing service super cool little spot. I'm not sure why nobody told me about this place sooner. I recommend to all my friends and anybody else.

When we arrived, we were seated promptly. The noise level was decently low, even with live music, and we were so happy for that. Here lately, every place we have gone has been sooo loud to where we couldn't have a conversation, so this was a nice touch. Our waitress came to grab our orders promptly and brought our drinks quickly. We decided on mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, a pesto burger no tomato with a garden patty, and another garden burger plain and dry, both with fries. Food came out decently swiftly, and everything looked amazing! The fries were piping hot and absolutely wonderful: perfectly crispy, not greasy, with flavor and perfect seasoning. The pesto burger was soo good. The pesto itself had a great flavor without being overbearing or oily. I loved the slice of fresh mozzarella. The burger itself was cooked perfectly, and the bread was nice and toasty without being hard. The mozzarella sticks were fantastic, not greasy at all, and were decently sized. I really liked the marinara it came with, which it was flavorful without being overbearing and the only thing we could taste. I assume the garden burger was equally enjoyed, for there was no conversation coming from that side of the table. Oh, and he stole the rest of my fries. Thief!! This was a great decision. The interior screams dive bar in an interesting way, but that food? Definitely not greasy spoon or quickly thrown together dive bar appetizers, that's for sure! We will definitely come back!

    This is a regular stop for a cup of coffee, which is always hot and prepared to order. At least one…read moreof the five stars I've given is for the fact that they always have fresh decaffeinated. The staff is friendly, if overwhelmed at times, and tends to have a positive attitude. There is always someone supervising and tidying the dining area. The drive-through service is so popular, the line never seems to shorten. Because inching along in an idling car does not appeal, I nearly always go inside and use the table service. After taking a seat, I log on to the free WiFi service, open the McDonald's app, enter my order, select the table-service option, enter the table number marked on a silver disk, and pay with my linked credit card. I read emails till a staffer brings the order directly to me. The table-service option appeals especially to those of us who'd prefer to forgo the ritual of hovering around the pickup window with other customers, waiting for our numbers to be called. The app also offers the option to park in a designated mobile-phone space near the entrance and have the staff bring your order outside to you. I can't comment on the meals, because I rarely come for more than a coffee break. But one bonus at this Scottish establishment is that a large coffee and pocket pie are half of what Starbuck's would charge for something similar. Thrifty, eh? Oh, and the people watching is better here, too.
