Our waitress was very knowledgeable considering we went on the second day of their new menu. Food was good. They also had live music too. read more

Very nice change to this restaurant. I enjoyed the teriyaki steak. The Caesar salad was really good, you can tell they make their own dressing. The house bread is good too, very soft and fresh. Thank you to Rick for the excellent service! We will definitely be back! Mahalo! read more

We had not been to WSW for a some time, and it seems that most of the front of house staff are the same at Bull Shed. While I very much approve, it also means I am more critical of a new restaurant getting it's footing. The Bar was running extremely slow and it took a good 10 minutes from when our first drink landed to when everyone was served. Two martinis, an old fashioned and a glass of wine isn't that hard. We had a single modification on the menu for our neuro spicy 7 y/o kid, and that was missed in the kitchen. Thankfully, our very cordial server was able to fix it by hiking back to the kitchen for a solo of mustard. While we appreciate fixing it, this should have been both easy, and a fast fix with minimal planning at a drink station somewhere near the dining room rather than a run across the building. We almost all had seafood, so I can't tell if the Kona Outback still holds the title of best Steakhouse in Hilo. Hopefully Hilo will take that trophy back home in of these days. Food wise we were happy with everything. The food was well executed, portions reasonable if at modern restaurant prices, but that is clear up front. No complaints here. read more

This was our first time trying Bull Shed Hilo and we brought friends that tried it a week before last night. It was nice that to know that we didn't need to make a reservation but I made one anyways with Open Table just in case. Love how convenient that app is to reserve time at restaurants. We liked the renovations they did, nice huge bar, good idea with the booths and couches with live music. It's amazing how potted plants and center pieces can give a classy look to an open space. We started our night off with drinks, we ordered a BS Mule, Old Fashion and a dirty Skrewball with our very friendly and funny waiter Scotty aka Swag. Took a while to find the Skrewball bottle but they eventually found it. Drinks were perfect but our friend had to wait 20 mins for his old fashion because the bartender was occupied by his friends at the bar but with Swag's help on checking the status, our friend finally got his drink right in time for me and my husband got our second rounds. We then placed our dinner requests, the guys got the BS cut Prime Rib- medium rare, our friends wife ordered the seafood pasta and I ordered the fresh fish plate, they were serving Lehi as their fresh fish. We also ordered side salads, a small caesar salad and a BS caesar salad, the tomatoes and cucumbers kind of threw me off to be in a Caesar but I'm all about trying new things. Our friends said her seafood pasta was really good and she cleaned up the plate. My fresh fish plate with the Lehi was very ono (delicious). As for our husbands prime ribs, these cuts are ridiculously huge! Perfect for hungry men, but it wasn't brought out as requested. Their primes were over cooked and dry. Scotty took the plates back and brought back out MR cuts. Big difference from what was brought out the first time. To end the evening, we ordered the holy shed, which is a layered double chocolate cake that came with a strawberry. It was very rich so we requested some vanilla ice cream. Scotty brought out a few scoops of Ruppert's vanilla ice cream and it was perfect. The only sad thing about our dessert was that they didn't have coffee for my husband. Now what restaurant does not have coffee? Little things to fix but they have potential. read more

The food was excellent! I tried their linguine special and it was delicious! Sauce was on point! RICHARD, our waiter was the best service we had anywhere! He was professional, polite and friendly! read more

Went at dinner time with family of 6, including a wheelchair family member. This place is large enough to accommodate wheelchairs (and if you're from hilo, you know that restaurants here, are not very wheelchair friendly). The vibe is great! The food was excellent! We got the prime rib (which was gigantic!), the kiddo had teriyaki chicken (he rated it 10/10), and the shrimp on a stick thing was really good as well. We got cheesecake and Kauai pie for dessert, and they were delicious. Cocktails were on point. Service was great! Waitress and all staff were locals, attentive and super friendly! We 100% will be going back frequently. The vibe is beautiful and everything was just perfect. read more

Bull Shed - Calamari appetizer - Seafood Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Bull Shed, the new steakhouse concept in the Hilo Hawaiian, is a really nice improvement over WSW. Completely remodeled with a larger bar area, a new menu and the already great views of Hilo Bay, this restaurant will become a regular stop on our rotation. The wait staff and service were both great. Can't wait to go again!! read more

Concept and design is great. The staff is friendly, but service is very slow. Our entrees weren't anything special just a grilled fish with rice and a steak with rice and it took an hour. Server came to our table once and all the guests in her section including us tried to flag her down, she did her best not to make any eye contact and B-lined right back to the kitchen where I'm assuming she stayed most of the night. There is a lot of potential there but the lag of service can be a deal breaker. Plus I went back and ordered a burger and calamari plate and that is the first time ever that I just couldn't eat it. Both the Burger and Calamari were so oily that I felt nauseous. I hope they work out the kinks. Until then I'll just avoid it read more

Definitely not worth $75 for buffet. I took my Auntie for her birthday. We had a 5pm reservation. The greeter needs to smile and learn customer service 101. Unfortunately, poke and cheesecake ran out, without being refilled. What is up with that? There is a lot less local style entree's as the previous owners buffets provided. I would strongly suggest adding more paniolo style entree's such as more fish selections and poi, fried chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, if you're going to run out of food at least have back up available. Smdh! Our waitress Rosanne is an asset to your business. She was very apologetic and was really very nice. She brought a candle lit chocolate sundae for my Auntie. ALL in ALL, I will not be back here. Paid $200 for 2 buffet dinners, 2 madori sours and $30 to the best waitress Rosanne. read more

Tried Bull Shed.....not the same as the old Bull Shed on Kauai many years ago. The prices are low for this kind of restaurant and now I know why. Lobster bisque was watery without taste and was served in a sugar bowl. No soup spoon. Prime rib was tough and au jus was not good. Ambiance was ok. Servers were nice and need to get used to the game. I hope they can improve the quality quickly before they fall victim to the same fate as WSW. Hilo is a tough place for a restaurant because the local people only like to try new places but won't be regulars. read more

Great food! Our services Rick was great! The mud pie dessert was my favorite! I will definitely come back.

We tried the new Bull Shed in Hilo and we're underwhelmed, we went with their tenderloin with their famous Garlic Slidge, the meat was very dry and over cooked (burnt) and there was no sign of the garlic sludge. We added a Ceasars salad and it was lacking dressing, all and all not a snowballs chance in Hell we'd go back! Plus the service was not up to par!!!​ read more

Skip the buffet night. Although the prime rib appeared to be perfectly cooked, the outside edges tasted rancid (usually my favorite part), crab legs overcooked and fishy tasting, other hot food on the buffet was cold. Our reservations were at 5:00 so we got there right when the buffet started/opened and the food was already cold??? Woke up at 4:00 AM that night/next day with terrible cramps and you can imagine what happened next... read more

Service was super bad. We had a busser take our order and still never get our order. We waited for hour and a half then left. Born and raised on Kauai where the original Bull Shed is from and that is the real deal. Shame, shame, shame. I would say avoid for a little while til they get their sh*t together. Same WSW service... Sakura here we come read more

Service was bad. Took the server a long time to get our order. 1 hr later the foods are still not there so we had to leave. Drink was mid.

We were excited to see experience the Bull Shed and hoped it would be an improvement over WSW...it was not. Service was not good and the food worse than the service. I really wanted to come away with great news. The flavors were mediocre and the quality (cooking?)of the meat was sad. There were 3 of us and we ordered prime rib, tenderloin and ribs... they were all tough. The ribs were lukewarm warm and probably the most tender. There was nothing outstanding. The best thing ordered at our table was the Mule cocktail. Ambiance can be difficult in such a large space but I was pleasantly surprised they had live music and did enjoy the evening with some of my favorite people despite overpaying for poor quality/prepared food. I will try Bull Shed at least one more time in about 6 months ..hopefully they will get their act together. There must be a good reason this restaurant does so well in Kauai...Hilo deserves quality also. read more
