I think this has to be our favorite breakfast/brunch spot. We're from Hilo, and out of all the popular places, Coconut Grill consistently has some of the friendliest staff and best service. We really love their menu--it has a great variety. You've got your standard breakfast options, but also lots of different omelets and benedicts to choose from. Some of our favorites range from their prime rib to the Dungeness crab omelet and the kalua pork benedict. I personally love the Korean BBQ with kimchi fried rice--it's always a go-to. They also have a solid kids menu, which makes it super family-friendly. Overall, always a great experience and definitely one of our go-to spots. read more

We just had a great dinner at this establishment. The food was excellent, the sizzling prime rib pups was perfectly seasoned and very tender. What made our experience so much better was our server Alyssa who was very pleasant and helpful, thanks for the excellent service! read more

Ashley was our server. She was friendly and service was great. Tonight we just went there for drinks. It's not air conditioning, however, night time it's cooler and breezy. We come here quite often. Their food and desserts are good. They're known for their amazing Coconut Shrimp! read more

At night, with the right staff, I felt like a princess on the Queen Mary! The server was so polite, professional and charming! In the morning, I feel like a burden. However, their breakfast is yummy! I miss Logan Chandler read more

Went here for Mother's Day dinner and surprisingly only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated! We got two Bloody Marys which were yummy. Also got the prime rib appetizer which filled us up as it was so delicious and hearty. We ended up bringing our cheeseburgers home and ate for leftovers which were still delicious. The only thing, was we not so much a fan of the fries. The fries had a sweet/funnel cake taste to them. Other than that, everything was great. read more

Casual dining. Our server was very good. My salad was very good, saved leftovers for second meal. Across from the Bay. They have a full bar. Good stop for a good meal. Please tip generously. read more

Great food, great service, loved the ambiance, conveniently located next to the SCP Hilo Hotel. Parking available on the street and next door. We were guests at the hotel and they said it was ok to have our friends park there while dining. If you're visiting Hilo during a busy time as we were, this place had tables for diners. Go and check them out. read more

The food was ok. I ordered the pork ribs, a little dry in some edges- the bake potato was overly whipped and made too starchy- it is pre-made to resemble "twice baked potato"- no sour cream but, crumbled bacon and cheese mixed together. The side of baked beans were tooo sweet and not to my liking- another guest had a hamburger which was BIG! She asked no onions and it had. Our other guest ordered the Hawaiian Luau plate- there was no complaint there. Service was busy and we had to ask for us to be served- they forgot about us. Ambiance ok. Families, casual wear- parking on the street/ popular place. Go early in the day- it might be fresher food. read more

One of our top 5 favorite breakfast/brunch places. Nice view, great service, tasty food; what more can you ask for? We don't really come here for lunch or dinner, but brunch here is where it's at. Large menu, everyone will find something that they like. Just be prepared to wait for a bit, seating is limited since it appears that they're only using a portion of the restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner hear last week. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was nice inside and had a big menu full of goodies. We got a yummy French dip with onion rings and some kind of steak veggie rice plate that was also great. The fried ice cream trio dessert was huge and tasty after a long day. I definitely recommend this place for a casual meal when in Hilo. read more

My husband and I got the cane sugar soda, Mahi Mahi fish and chips, the kahlua burger and chips. So darn tasty. This is definitely the place the locals all go to. We got off our cruise ship and asked the staff where we should go to eat and everyone's consensus was the Coconut Grill. Several people asked us all to bring back their favorite dishes. read more

The Prime burger is my favorite along with the sauté mushrooms. The service always excellent! I tell everyone about the prime burger and they liked it. I'll continue to spread the word about this establishment. And setting is nice where that you can enjoy the moment. Thank you! read more

I enjoyed the coconut shrimp tikis. The visual display was intriguing and the flavor was delicious. Our waitress, Scottlyn, was phenomenal. She was super friendly and was gracious to accommodate all of the menu customizations requested by our family of four. Five stars for Scottlyn's outstanding customer service! All in all, our family enjoyed our dining experience and recommend Coconut Grill as a great place to go for a relaxing, flavorful evening meal. read more

This was right next to the hotel we stayed at Hotel so we came here for breakfast. We got seated right away. The omelet punulu was literally so bland that my hubby and I couldn't eat it. But we were hungry so we ate. No salt, no pepper, no seasonings, nothing. The 3 stars is for CBP the coconut banana pancake. This was so yummy and topped with macadamia nuts. So unique. They first cook it and then bake it. Makes the pancake so crispy and crunchy while the insides are quite soft and moist. Must try! Fresh papaya was very fresh. Yum. Service was fairly slow. Coffee was ok. read more

Stopped in as we were aimlessly wondering on Valentines Day. Lots of places and zero availability and they worked us in. The fish and chips was a good beer battered crunch and fries were hot. I enjoyed the presentation and overall taste. The steamed veggies were lackluster and better had they just been left off. Wife had the prime rib sandwich and it was okay. I would say the menu was limited and not a lot of choices. read more

If you are looking for another unassuming locals place away from downtown, head over towards Banyan Drive and check out Coconut Grill. The food is made with love and is pretty darn good. We wandered in here and had the sizzling prime rib and the angel hair pasta with shrimp. We were warmly greeted and seated right away. Having been a waitress in my past, I was impressed with how well the staff worked together. This type of service is lacking these days but not here in HI where the spirit of ohana prevails. 5 stars to the entire staff which includes the Chef. Our food came out quickly which was actually a refreshing change. My prime rib was truly sizzling and very tender. I asked for a side of brown rice because I needed something to help with sucking up the beef juices. I would say that adding a side vegetable would be nice IMO. Hubby really enjoyed his pasta. He commented on how well the vegetables were cooked (spinach, zucchini and mushrooms) to be al dente and the shrimp was perfect. The shrimp had a "snap" . The only addition to the dish could be chili flakes and a bit more al dente in his opinion. The spinach artichoke was delightfully different and old school. The slices of bread are warm which is refreshing to take that extra step on quality. The dessert menu looks amazing but the expense and size of the portion is frightening. Next time, visit for dessert. For visitors, there is a fee on the take out containers which I hadn't experienced in my state as much. This is a cool, down home, locals place that produces really good food that is served by a staff that are a happy ohana. read more

Aloha. I'm Uncle Forty. I've been coming here for along time. Onolicious grinds. Great prices. Great service. Friendly staff.

The restaurant has a view of the water which was nice! To me it felt homey, family diner style type of restaurant. Everyone was extremely friendly! The food was delicious, they had some cool stuff on the menu! We tried the ginormous chicken waffle sandwich and the stuffed French toast! Highly recommend! read more

Came in at 10:45am was told that they are no longer serving breakfast and will be switching over to lunch to us and 1 lady dining alone. Seated the lady that came in 10 seconds ahead of the 2 of us. We were just standing and some manager lady who was grouchy and sitting on a 4 top alone with all her stuff all over told us again that they were switching to lunch. I told her yes we were told that, she then rudely asked "what do you want to do then?" I answered "could we be seated?" She pointed at a small table behind us towards the other entrance of the restaurant away from the rest of the customers who could get service. No waters no menus and we just kept waiting. Finally a nice server came to give us menus and ask what drinks we would like, the same grouchy manager lady interrupts her taking our drink order and said that we shouldn't be served since we are guests for lunch and stops her from even bringing us waters or finishing our drink order. Whole time she was condescending and rude, I've never had service like this before in here when I have visited in the past. This is crazy, not even waters just because we missed your breakfast service and then giving us fucking attitude and walking around on the phone putting all your shit everywhere while half the restaurant is empty is insane. I hope to find out who is the owner of this establishment so we can talk about this restaurant's opportunities for improvement. Until then, I will not go if I see that same grouchy grams working. Food is good, but not good enough for people to be treated like shit. read more

The service here was really solid and full of aloha spirit. And you can't beat the location given we were staying next door at the SCP. But the food was just ok. Adequate but not super tasty. But again if you have a late flight and are hungry, it gets the job done and with a smile! read more

Just awful. They barely had any people on a Sunday brunch. Still took them 1 hr after ordering to put food in our plate. Only to hard boiled eggs on a Benedict. Then the waitress didn't offer to write off the bill despite not eating it. Avoid this place. read more

Great variety of items on the menu! All kinds. I ended up with the French Dip. My sissy had the Lobster sandwich. Had difficulty choosing! The best part was the Bloody Marys! Omg. I could have had just THAT for brunch - Not one, but two skewers of bacon wrapped shrimp, of course celery, olives and a lime wedge. They no mess around. It was beautiful! Hahaha... Enjoyed watching our local kids across the street at Ice Pond catching fish and jumping into the water! Gotta go again soon... read more

We were staying at the hotel next door. Very convenient location. I had the fettuccine with grilled shrimp. There were lots of vegetables and shrimp. It was delicious! Portion was a lot. I wasn't able to finish it. My husband had the furikake chicken and all that was left was a scoop of rice. He said it was yummy! Staff were friendly and we didn't wait for our food. Lots of dining space and had Hawaiian decor. Their breakfast was delicious too! read more

It was a little after 12pm and I really wanted a local style breakfast but other places were super packed. So we decided to stop in and give it a try; it's been years since I've been here. Anyways, from the menu we ordered: Cobb Salad Big Island Sliders Hawaiian Chopped Steak Kahuna Burger My son said the sliders were too fancy and didn't taste anything like a pulled pork sliders should; I laughed and gave him the salad. He ate the ham, eggs, and chicken from it. I thought the chopped steak was alright, different with the sauce being sweet, but the meat was soft and tender. So that was good. I was told the Kahuna burger could've been less dry but for a burger it was good. read more

My favorite breakfast stop in Hilo. Kalbi and eggs or sizzling prime rib are two of my go to's for sure.

Great service and really great breakfast. Came in with the family looking for an early lunch, but they were only serving breakfast. Slight disappointment but once we saw the great options on the menu we decided to do breakfast which did not disappoint. My kids went with local fare including Loco Moco and Spam and eggs, and I enjoyed an eggs Benedict over fish that was great. Served on corn tortillas with hollandaise sauce on the side, a combo I had never seen before that was delicious. You can also order other interesting Benedict's in one egg or 2 egg portions. My wife had a veggie omelet that was very good. Our server was delightful and made sure we were taken care of. read more

Went just for dessert, especially the molten lava cake. Also had the coconut banana cream pie. They were ok, 3.5. Not really special and a little pricey, $30 for two desserts. read more

They had some nice healthier options, alongside standard fare like burgers etc. We had a great lunch after the beach and would recommend. read more

My family had breakfast this morning at the Coconut Grill and we loved the Coconut banana and the french toast, as well as the flatbread. Our server was wonderful. Special shoutout to the manager Robin, who put in extra effort when we thought we left some AirPods behind. Robin, your extra effort and kindness was much appreciated. Thanks again read more

Nice easy diner. Nothing fancy, just good simple cooking. It was the night before Thanksgiving so it was about 1/3 full at about 8pm. Our server was super nice. She gave honest good suggestions. I got the seafood crepes which she warned me was not too big but that was fine. It was actually a perfect amount. We got served some bread and dip which is unusual these days. The dip was pretty Ono! We split Mac nut ice cream with chocolate lava cake. It could have used more fudge sauce and skip the strawberry or whatever the red syrup on it was. But otherwise it was good. The prices were super reasonable too! read more
