    I absolutely LOVE this place. There is ample parking, it was easy to find, and the service is top notch!! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and was able to choose where we wanted to sit. The staff came and brought out 2 large cups of ice water and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We both ordered coffee and it came in giant mugs with free refills. Naialyn was our server and she greeted us and was hospitable. We placed our orders and the food came out fairly quickly. We started with Walk Thru The Country consisting of Banana's Foster French toast which was moist and sweet but not overly sweet, topped with bananas and fresh whipped cream. Strawberry Waffle which was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with strawberry compote and fresh whipped cream. And Lilikoi Pancakes which were fluffy however I could not taste the Lilikoi flavor. Meat Lovers Scrambler was brought out with Da Bruddahs Breakfast. Both offered the perfect portion where the eggs were made perfectly keeping the eggs fluffy, breakfast potatoes cooked well and not overcooked, biscuits tasted homemade, and the English muffin was crisp on top, I absolutely loved that. I added butter and grape jelly and it was a treat. They had a live performer, Tupahu, who played mellow but fun music. That just added to the ambiance making is feel like we were part of their ohana. I can't wait to return to Hilo to dine here again.

    The biscuits are a must! The lilikoi drizzle on top of the biscuits is made in house. Definitely stop by and bring your appetite. *side note: I thought it was really cute how the waitresses wore cowboy boots as part of their uniform.

    I would have given a 4 if fried rice was average. Ordered the adobo fried rice. The pork was great, a bit fatty (good) and almost melt in your mouth texture. Sunny side up eggs were also good. But it was a fried rice. I only expected the average fried rice and would have given it a 4. But the rice doesn't even felt like fried, it was wet (but not oily like duck fried rice), and kind of soured, weird texture and taste. Maybe it is just Filipino/islander fried rice? Otherwise good prices.

    Loco moco w/country gravy (yum) make sure to get it with fried rice for better experience.

    Its so simple coming here. We didnt even check what time they were operating, just showed up. Every time we've come, the expectation never fails. We got some great countryside food. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here before too and was very happy. The environment is comfortable and open air no ac. They have ceiling fans that keep you cool. Would come back again.

    Loco Moco
    Jason A.

    The food was excellent and the service was prompt and friendly. I had the loco moco and my wife had the counter fried steak and a side of chocolate chip pancakes. The restaurant is tucked away in a little shopping mall between Foodland and the Ace Hardware. It's a little out of the way but totally worth a stop if your are hungry. The only complaint I had was that the food was too good, the portions too large, and now my belly is too full. Love it and next time we are here we will definitely be stopping in again.

    Nice location in the middle of town next to Foodland. Open floor plan lots of tables in space. Service was quick and cheerful. Menu has a variety of classic breakfast and Hawaiian style. Food was average. Enjoyed the country potatoes and veggie omelette. The biscuits and gravy seemed a bit store-bought. More of a brown gravy than a white breakfast gravy. And small portion. They charge a 3% if using a credit card. I feel you could find a better place. But if you're looking for something on the way, and you wanna sit down with quick service, this place is all right.

    This place is located on the Big Island in Kea'au at 16-586 Old Volcano Road. Their original location is in Waianae on Oahu. There is plenty of parking and the food is awesome. I had the Da Braddahz Breakfast and I left full AAAAAAND satisfied. Check them out next time you're heading to the Volcano National Park. Happy eating and Aloooooooooha.

    I had the best pork adobo fried rice in a very long time--more vinegar flavor than others but that's how I like it.

We tried the Bomboloni and Nutella Coconut croissant during our initial visit. The Bomboloni reminds me of a malasada but I enjoyed the creamy filling of this so much more. We ended up going back on our last day and tried some of the savory options - the goat cheese pesto croissant and then sausage roll were standouts for us. Enjoyed this place so much we hardly took pictures, but everyone should add this as a stop especially if visiting Volcano National Park!

In fact, except Madam Pele does NOT necessarily keep to the same schedule as the bakery, would try to time my Volcano drives to coincide with Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Hahah. Today got a sampling of Mediterranean scones (savory with olives and delicious seasonings), croissants, danish, and my favorite... the ube cruffin. Holy Moly Batman... that one item was worth the drive alone! Since there really wasn't any real estate in our tummies, we split everything 3 ways... over the course of the next few hours. Two weeks later, still thinking about that ube cruffin! Would definitely do a repeat on that as well as the Medeterranean scones while trying other items. And as the nice couple infront of us in line mentioned, will have to return for the sister deli across the parking lot. Heard it was featured in Guy Hagi's food vlog. And if its good enough for Guy Hagi its where I want to be my next mealtime!

It's close, there's always parking, and it's got that laid-back, local energy where you can laugh loud and no one's going to shoot you a look. It does get loud inside, but in that kind of way that makes it feel like everybody's having a good time, not like you're in a cafeteria. Just don't expect a quiet dinner conversation, unless you're reading lips. The service? Always sweet, always kind. Lily (I think that's the correct spelling!) has taken care of us more than once and she's a gem... warm, attentive, and easy to chat with. She's the kind of person who remembers what you ordered last time and tells you honestly what's good. As for the food... Bacon Blue Burger: My husband had this last time and it was yum. Juicy, flavorful, hits all the right rich notes without being greasy. That one's a solid order. Ribs: The barbecue sauce was really good... but the ribs themselves were dry and overdone. Not terrible, but not what I'd call a win either. If they could just dial in the texture, that sauce would carry it home. Kalbi Short Ribs: Best thing on the menu so far. Tender, rich, and full of flavor. Get those. Mashed Potatoes: "All mash" is the move. They're creamy and comforting... total comfort food. Hamburger Steak: Another standout. Probably one of the best in the area. Classic done right. Thai Chicken Pasta: Watch out... it's got some serious heat! Spicy, but good. Not for the faint of tongue, but worth it if you're into that kind of kick. Lilikoi Fizz: Really tasty but heavy on the lilikoi. If they eased up and added a little more club soda, it would be more balanced. Desserts: * Lava Cake was good... warm and classic. * Chocolate Decadent Cake was just okay. It comes fridge-cold (probably so it doesn't melt), but I feel like if they let it sit out for ten minutes before serving, it would be way better. * Brownie Sundae was yum, according to my husband... and I trust his dessert radar. All in all, Kaleo's is the kind of place you root for. You want them to keep getting better, and they mostly are. The hits are worth coming back for, and even the misses aren't deal-breakers. We'll be back, and we're excited to keep trying more of the menu.

After reading some other reviews, I realized we may have just gotten lucky because the owner happened to be in that day. Let me say this upfront: they advertise slow black coffee and they mean it! The owner (Brian?) takes his time with each customer, chatting with you to understand what you're looking for and making some suggestions. It's clear he enjoys both his craft and engaging with customers. It was not very busy while we were there, which added to that relaxed, Hawaiian vacation vibe. We really enjoyed the conversation with him and even walked away having learned a few new things. We took our coffee and other purchases to enjoy on the bench outside, along with some stone cookies from nearby. (There were also additional tables and chairs available on a side patio.) Overall, we loved both the experience and the coffee, and we will definitely plan to stop by again the next time we are in the area!

My husband got the lite bite curry with brown rice and a side salad. Water and coffee were served in custom White Guava tumblers. We each got a Hawaiian roll with a delicious Lilikoi butter. To my surprise, the side salad was a full generous portion, not the tiny side salad that restaurants usually give. It was a proper salad with fresh local greens, sliced cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and another white shredded vegetable that I think was radish. My chicken was delicious and the portion of that was generous as well. I tasted my husband's curry but didn't really like the flavor. It was different, like a sweeter flavor than other curries I've tried before. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I enjoyed the large salad and all the Lilikoi things - butter, dressing, and sauce.

He could have packaged it all differently, but I know those to-go containers are not the greatest for the environment, so that must have been the factor. But the beef patty and chicken... they were large, so we were really looking forward to them. But they were so bland. Not even salt or pepper, no sauce, garlic powder, nothing. I couldn't even chop up the chicken for my salad, as I was only given a singular half ounce container of dressing. They do have Girl Scout cookies for sale, and I'm sure those would be fine.
