    Porter steak
    Dave G.

    Up in Hilo where ee went for a baby party, my brother inlaw n sister inlaw took us to this place for dinner, Fairways. Not knowing it was a golf course. The name lives up to it lol. The place is clean n spacious. Lots of parking. The workers are awesome n great customer service n very polite. What caught my eye was how much people who don't golf goes the to eat. As the waitress n waiter were being iyt everyone else food, I was looking at it with a woow. The portion n size were big. The prime rib looked amazing n delicious. Everything look great. The had the calamari n 2 beers. The family had a variety of foods. As we shared n sample each other goods, it all was very good to me. I told my inlaws let's go again or we coming by ourselves.

    In the midst of a residential area is a golf course. In the midst of the golf course is a restaurant. Located at the Hilo municipal golf course, Fairway Grill is a no frills restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's quite popular with golfers and nearby residents. I've come only for lunch and dinner and always left satisfied and full. Prices are adequate for the portions and they have a good selection of alcoholic beverages. Each time I've come I received friendly service and will continue to go.

    The food was good as well as the price for what we ordered. Quite plentiful. The only thing that was a downfall was the waiter didn't check on us and refill our drinks .

    Fairway Grill is located in the Hilo Municipal Golf Course. They serve Breakfast, lunch and dinner. This Review is for Breakfast only as they started Breakfast service at 8am. We decided to try some place different for breakfast. Fairway Grill has a large seating area and being in Hilo everyone trickles in slowly after opening. In other words, it was pretty empty. The views from the restaurant is the golf course which is nice. I ordered the Brisket Benedict, the brisket sits on top of a grilled hash brown and topped with hollandaise sauce. If there is a star next to the menu name you also get a choice of an additional side. I chose the pancakes (2 pieces) as my side. The poached eggs were perfect and the brisket was fork tender, I enjoyed this filling dish. My wife ordered the eggs, spam and hash brown, there were no complaints from her. Service was a little on the slower side considering the wasn't that many people, but we were in no rush. The main thing she kept our coffee cups filled. The food and value is good, I would come back again to try the other menu items. Overall 3.5 Stars for breakfast.

    Fish burger

    Decent place to grab a casual lunch after golf. Or if you live in the neighborhood, they open for breakfast. Full dinner menu also. Burgers are what to get when you're craving one. They're huge and can get a little messy. The "Pull" burger is a whopping two patties, bbq brisket, bacon and a fried egg. The bbq brisket wasn't a just-for-show add on either, it was pretty good. My fish burger came with two filling Mahi Mahi fillets coated in an egg batter that I thought I'd be mad at but wasn't. Well, it jutted out the sides a bit, but I guess that's bang for your buck. Twisted fries! They were the pleasant surprise for me. Eggs Benedicts were just OK, but hash browns were really crispy on the outside which I love. Will be back for the convenience. Awesomely kind customer service! Thank you!

    The Clubhouse was very tasty and plentiful. Our group had a wonderful time and it was nice that Mark the owner stopped by to check on us. Great atmosphere and great day.

    Grilled Shrimp Flatbread

    This was my first time going to Fairway Grill. The menu was diverse and had a lot of local options as well. We ordered the flatbread, tacos, spicy korean chicken, and kona mud pie for dessert. All the food was delicious and the portion sizes were reasonable for the price. Unfortunately, our food took over 45 minutes as the meals came out at random times. Half our group got our meal while the other half waited an extra 15 minutes. The place was empty when we went as well. Though our service was nice, the wait was just long.

    I love places like this that serve diner type meals. I've wanted to try Fairway Grill since the last time I golfed here. The dining area is simple but spacious. At lunchtime there was quite a good crowd dining there and got even busier as we dined. I believe that all of the crowd was local people from the area. We ordered a kid's chicken katsu for my granddaughter, I had the prime rib dip, my son got a braised beef sandwich and his wife ordered the chicken Caesar salad. The food was great and there were other tasty looking food on the other tables that I may want to return and sample. This is a good place to meet with friends and have a cocktail or two because you need patience when you come here. The service is friendly but the food does take a while to get to your table. If it wasn't for the wait I would've given 5 stars.

    This was the steak. Looks chewed up and spat out

We showed up right when they opened at 5:30 p.m. without reservations on a Wednesday evening and was luckily able to get seated at the bar. Between the two of us, we ordered a bunch of items off the "small" section of the menu, including the smokey sashimi, sizzling tetsuyaki poke, smoked tonnato caesar, crispy rice, and their special of the day -- agedashi wontons. Of the items we ordered, the crispy rice and the agedashi wontons were my favorite items. The crispy rice is priced per piece, and you'll certainly want to order at least two per person, because one is simply not enough. The rice block is fried a beautiful golden brown -- similar to a hash brown. The crispy rice pairs perfectly with the ono mixture on top of it. With the agedashi wontons, I initially thought the filling was a bit under-seasoned at first, but when enjoyed with the broth, the wonton comes out tasting perfectly seasoned. The broth had so much umami to it and the wonton had the perfect crunch to it I always love a good Caesar salad and the one here is spectacular. With anchovy croutons, shaved cured egg yolk, and smoked ahi dressing, you're getting some creative, premium ingredients in this salad and everything works so well together. Even if you're not a salad person, I would definitely recommend giving this dish a try. On top of delicious food, the service at Moon & Turtle was spectacular. Food was promptly brought out after we placed our order, pacing didn't ever feel rushed, our water cups were never empty, and our server checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. I would definitely stop by Moon & Turtle again if I'm in Hilo.

There was also live music with a lady playing guitar solo and singing! Service was amazing! We never had to wait long to order/get the bill. We were most impressed by the fact that the waitress made sure to split our Hilo local plate into two plates to make it much easier to share! We almost thought we had received two orders because of how well-plated they were. - Poke tower (8/10): Solid choice for an appetizer! There were ample portions of poke, and the flavors were nice. Not a super stand out dish though. - Hilo local plate (9.5/10): If you want to taste a wide range of Hawaiian cuisine in one dish, I would highly recommend getting this one! The Kalbi ribs were sooo good! They were juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The Kalua pork was pretty good, and both meats paired well with the rice which had an interesting savory haupia sauce drizzled on it. The mango chili slaw and pineapple salsa added a nice tang to balance everything out. - Triple lilikoi pie (5/10): Wayyy too sweet and sugary for our liking, and you can barely taste the lilikoi flavor. We ended up just picking at the graham cracker crust and couldn't finish the rest. It seemed like one of those desserts that are premade unfortunately, and we wish we hadn't ordered this dessert.

Pretty presentation, but very mediocre overall. Food was just okay. The burger wasn't bad, but definitely not anything special. The fried shrimp dish was disappointing and lacked flavor. The big letdown was the ambiance. We were seated facing the street and parking lot the entire time ...no view...., just sad street. Overall, it didn't live up to the hype. Not terrible, but definitely not worth going out of your way for. The staff were all very nice though. Service friendly.

BUT, the Jackie Rey's in Hilo has now become our go-to fine restaurant in Hilo town. The building is classic. An old town Hilo bank, with the vault intact. High ceilings, comfortable tables and decore and an artistic antique wooden bar that would be a gem in the crown of any European city. The management and personnel are the most wonderful people. Always happy to accommodate you in the best way they can. After one kamaaina visit the servers will know your name. They'll make you feel welcome and that you are a part of their experience too, something that is nearly impossible to find in other town dining. They have rewards programs for kamaaina which includes a point system that gives you significant savings on your next visit. The food is first rate, from the pupus to the main dishes to the desserts.

If you dine here and are not a big person don't get a booth table as it's the most uncomfortable seating I've ever experienced. The seat is way too far from the table and I needed to lean forward and sit on the edge of the seat. I would recommend getting a table its chair so you be able to adjust yourself to the distance from the table. Server was just Ok and with them placing a water decanter on the table for refill they didn't come around as often. The decanter water has no ice so whatever ice you have in your cup to cool the water. Last time eating at this establishment was better and my only complaint was the window seats next to the picture window and the flys that was buzzing there. Only thing is again there were two big flies buzzing the windows and I had to waved them away. The doors are always shut and only when customers walk in could the flys get in. Staff should walk around before opening and get rid of them. We entered about 5:10 PM so it was opened for just 10 minutes and shouldn't have flys. Air conditioning was on but the temperature was a bit warm and a cooler temperature of maybe 10 degrees be perfect. I had the mochico Ono and it was just ok tasting but on the plate presentation was nice. My wife had the pork chops and she really liked it but said was just a little over cooked. I did try a small sample and to me it was just ok also. ambiance in the restaurant is nice and most of the staff were very attentive. The server we had wasn't and I needed to Get his attention to get my bill even though he had passed multiple times and didn't or should have noticed we were done dining. Probably not be dining again at this establishment again and do know of better dining spots in Hilo.

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.
