    Breakfast buffet - pancakes, yogurt, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and fried rice
    Katherine S.

    Kyra, Toosie and RJ were the morning crew for breakfast when I was staying at Kīlauea Military Camp. If you're staying at KMC, you get a complimentary breakfast buffet here. The 3 of them were so kind and filled with aloha. They truly try to brighten your day! Food was great as well for a hotel breakfast buffet. Way better than any "continental" breakfast place at a chain hotel. Overall a nice dining area with lots of seating. Nice place to start your day at with some food!

    Hours of operation.

    If you're staying at Kilauea Military Camp (KMC) then you need the convenience of the Crater Rim Cafe. Good food, friendly service, and a family friendly atmosphere make this easy to use resource a must to enhance your stay and visit to KMC and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!

    Breakfast combo

    We stayed At Kilauea military camp with my cousins. It was pretty cool. I ate at this crater rim cafe every morning. They have breakfast and dinner. We only tried their breakfast there . It was $8 for my plate. I had Portuguese sausage (4 pieces) rice, eggs scrambled (2) and biscuit. Did I tell u it also came with a fountain drink ? My baby enjoyed it as well. Everything is self serve . U choose your table, u pick up your food make your own drink and also clean your plate and put it away as well. I didn't mind doing that . Guess u save a little on tip $$. Condiments we available in packets and tables were super spaced out for the pandemic so it felt safe. They also had cleaning wipes to sanitize your table n chairs. The convenience of everything in walking distance to your cabins made it more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and this gentleman even gave my daughter a cookie. Definitely going back next time we go to hilo.

    Cafeteria style. Salad bar and friend chicken

    One word-convenience. Food is sub par (I would rate 2 stars) but the staff and the location is very excellent. We were staying at the military camp so after a long day of sight seeing where no one wanted to make decisions on where to eat or drive elsewhere, the KMC cafe was great for us because it was within walking range and fast/easy. They do have specific hours like a cafeteria so check that before heading over. The public is welcome to eat here, and there is no tax on the food due to the military ownership. However, it is pricey for what it is---military/cafeteria food! $8.5 for all you can eat baked potato and salad bar, and any of the entrées (all around ~$13-15 including the salad and potato and drink and soft serve) can also be ordered separately aka carte. I do however, think the breakfast is good and also a fair price- so maybe check that out if you are interested.

Spaces were full when I arrived so I parked across the street in the lot for the park. Very casual place with small menu. There is a gift shop type area for local purchases and a fruit stand on site. I ordered a smoothie and pork tacos from the menu. Tacos were good. Smoothie was refreshing. Menu selection is small but with a decent amount of variety. I would recommend for a quick bite or a smoothie stop.

    So Ono! After an…read moreamazing morning exploring the waterfalls near Akaka Falls, we stumbled upon this hidden gem of a country market and café -- and wow, are we glad we did! The menu might be small, but it packs serious flavor. The Ono sandwich was, well, *ono*! Perfectly cooked protein, fresh veggies, and a tangy sauce that brought it all together -- simple, fresh, and unforgettable. And don't even get me started on the Kalua pork tacos -- tender, smoky, and paired with just the right amount fresh tomatoes. The setting was relaxed and rustic, with just the right amount of charm. We grabbed a shaded table outside and enjoyed our food while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. It felt like we'd discovered a local secret. If you're in the area sightseeing or taking in waterfalls, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great food, and a perfect slice of island life. This place is a true treasure!
