We were glad to see the menu had been upgraded since last year, when we had the worst service and the limited menu was bad, as far as we were concerned. They had eliminated just about everything we enjoyed in the past. We ordered a pizza and beef sandwich. Both came out quickly and were very good. The service was good. Beer was great as usual. They are back on our list of places to go in Kona. read more

Excellent Burgers. We've stopped in for burgers and wings at least four times in the last two months. How I wish they would roast some potatoes to serve with the burgers. I get white rice as my aide and enjoy that with the wings. We order them plain and they are seasoned nicely. Enjoyed the fish a couple times, the sauce is really delicious. But the price keeps me from ordering it often. I can't stand the birds inside the dining area. It's a big airy indoor patio. All the servers are solid but Dalton gave us the best service. The man knows what he is doing. read more

5 stars. If you left anything less, I bet few in life make you happy. I had the fish tacos and rice. Ate the tacos over the rice and then ate the rice with everything that fell from the tacos. It's about the experience and what you make of it. This is a place where the server doesn't hand you a beer and say "here you go," they say "cheers." There's a difference. Glad I found it after cruising the coast. For any of you non five-star people, eat your fish tacos over the rice and say "cheers" to your bartender. You might enjoy yourself. Aloha! read more

Kona Brewing was a perfect place to stop between our East Oahu activities. The harbor view is the perfect backdrop for lunch and a beer. I started out with Liliko'i Kea, it was light and refreshing yet still flavorful. I had the mahi tacos and they were good and made with fresh caught fish. They also had some unique items on the keiki menu which my daughters enjoyed. read more

I give the 5th star again because the pizza and dishes are way improved. Great amount of toppings, the choices to add/swap-out ingredients and the yummy pizza dough is now addictive. Friendly hostesses, bartenders and servers here. A lot of longtime and familiar workers. Beautiful views of the harbor. Wednesday evenings have live music with BOOGIE playing a wide variety of songs on his selection of guitars. A must see/listen! Goes without saying, but I will. Wonderful selection of beers and weekly beer specials. They have mixed drinks and tropical libations as well. Great place for visitors and locals. read more

Kona Brewing has gone down hill over the years. Last visit, I got the sliders. The buns and patties were super dry! I had to drench the burger in ketchup and eventually ditch the buns. Bummer because I used to like stopping here after hiking. read more

This is a nice breezy restaurant in the Koko Marina Shopping Center in Hawaii Kai. It is right on the marina so beautiful views! Lots of parking and seating! There is a huge bar with a large screen TV to enjoy! Started coming here a year ago to celebrate a friend's birthday! The menu is extensive with salads, burgers and Mexican food! It's a nice place to have lunch after going to the monthly craft fair, especially because they have restrooms! Check out the Burger Specials! Last Saturday, my friend and i had the special: Guacamole with bacon, lettuce & tomato! So juicy and delicious! Just oozing with fresh guacamole! My friend said it was the "BEST" she has ever eaten! I have to agree! Plus, the service is quick, fast and accomodating! read more

Came here on a Monday that happened to be a holiday, and the service was extremely slow. Even when the drinks came out, they were mixed up and given to the wrong people at the table. We waited at least 20 minutes between drinks and ordering our food, it felt like we had to look out for our waitress just to get an order in. Food-wise, I got the sliders, the sliders were good, but I honestly didn't understand the pickle placed on top of the bun instead of inside very odd. The waitress asked if I wanted cheese on the slider which I replied yes, but the portion of the cheese was so little, it was easy to miss. My friend ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp and nachos. The Caesar salad was alright, I did really like the nachos though. They were good and a huge portion, so that was a plus for sharing. We split the tab, the waitress added a drink that someone else's on my tab, which was frustrating to catch at the end. The ambiance is nice though it's right in the water which I love. Overall, the food was decent, but the service issues really took away from the experience. It wasn't even that busy inside so not sure what the hold up was. Hopefully this was just an off day, but it definitely didn't leave a good impression. read more

Came here after work just in time for their happy hour from 3-6pm. It was also Wednesday and they had Kama'aina Wednesdays which offered 15% off all food items! We were seated outside on the patio right next to the docks. It was nice and breezy with a stunning sunset view. Service was friendly and attentive, the staff kept our waters filled and made sure we always had a drink. Our server got a few of our orders wrong but quickly fixed it when we brought it to her attention. Overall, the food was decent but the nachos were disappointing. The chips were stale and had barely any cheese on it. The cheese was also dry and hard so you couldn't really scoop it up. It seemed like it could've been sitting out for awhile too. Surprisingly, the best item were the pizza rolls on their happy hour menu. It came out warm and crispy, definitely a fave for the table. It's a decent place for happy hour if I'm in the area and want to enjoy outdoor scenery but it's not a place I'd frequent regularly. read more

For a very busy place, a experienced waitress was polite and took 12 individual orders on separate checks...awesome! I had the beet salad with added shrimp and avocados. The balsamic vinegar and oil really kicked up the greens, halved tomatoes that gave a sweetness and slightly tart. It grabs your palate! Shrimp was charred and well seasoned. That was the tastiest salad I ever had! Definitely, I'll be back! We added to the ambiance by singing a four part harmony acapella Christmas Carole for all to enjoy in the restaurant...Na Leo Lani Chorus - Barbershop Style...Ciao! read more

Directions were kind of off to get to the restaurant. Service was a bit slower than expected. Plenty of parking once you get to the location. I ordered the ahi seared tuna salad and it was great. The pizza was about average overall. If you're someone brave enough to do the Koko trail and complete it, this spot is definitely worth eating at to relax. Views are great and plenty of space. Not a spot I would go to again prolly, but definitely worth going for the first time if you're new to the area & are on vacation. read more

I love a good Kona beer, so naturally had to stop for one. Place is fairly big, right at the marina, so decent views, outdoor seating, and cold beer. I wouldn't say the food is spectacular, but for a quick bite while enjoying your beer, it will do. The server was very friendly, patient recommending beers to try, so a good experience overall. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but would stop by again if in the area. read more

A beautiful location sitting right at waterside in Hawaii Kai. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm, and there was a line outside the door. It took about 15-20 minutes before we were called to our table, but we got seated in about pretty nice spot, just inside the patio. We could see the water and the boats outside, but still feel the a/c at our seats. The food and service overall were okay; nothing over the top. I has wanted to get the Burger of the Week, but our server said they ran out of the sauce (wth? Can't they make more?), so I settled for the regular Koko Burger. It was okay, but I really wanted to try the Korean style burger. We also ordered the nachos and Caesar salad as apps to share, along with a pizza and a Keiki Quesadilla for the baby. A couple of beers down and the food came just in time to quiet down the baby, who was starving. The food was alright, as was the service. The ambiance was definitely "touristy", and pretty loud, with lots of visitors and families enjoying the great weather and the view. read more

We fell in love with Kona Brewing years ago and their Kona location is one of our favorite spots. Of course, when we visited O'ahu we had to visit the Kona Brewing here. It definitely has a different vibe, but the same great tasting beer. It's located at the Koko Marina Center amongst other businesses and right on the water. The restaurant is more modern than its Kona counterpart and there's plenty of air conditioning and air flow as it sits right on the water. There's still the Kona Brewing personality with art everywhere and they have a merch store with some fun shirts, growlers, stickers and more. Since it's on the water, they have covered open air seating with beautiful views of the water and nearby scenery. There's plenty of seating, including a very large bar with seating on three sides. The team is friendly here and we had great experiences during both of our visits. The bar does have tvs and it's a full bar so it can get a little louder if something exciting is on. Our favorite thing to order is the pepperoni rolls, but everything on the menu pairs well either the beers. They offer fish, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, and pizza. While the original in Kona will remain our favorite, we'll definitely be back anytime we're on O'ahu. read more

Kona brewing always exceeds expectations! Solid all around, quick service great food great beer !!! Aloha

The hostess was unfriendly and would not sit us (2) until after the shift change. She said about 5 minutes. We waited 10. She never revisited us to update. There were multiple tables available everywhere. We finally just Sat ourselves at the bar. Bar service was ok. Not great despite what seemed like over staffing there. We looked at the menu and it's boring, boring and nothing new. Had 1 drink and left. A smile and happy attitude goes a long way with us. We found a similar vibe at the Kona location. I know it's different owners. Unfortunately it seems either way the staff seems unhappy and true management lacks at both locations. This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review. We are never going back to either location and may even stop buying their beer at the store. There are many other options. read more

You are looking for the perfect relaxing lunch spot with great food look no further. This brewery backs up right to the harbor. The view from the table was majestic. Our waitress was very courteous and quick. She quickly grabbed our order since we were on vacation. We opted to try out some of the local beer. We ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich, the Cobb salad and the nachos- all were extremely large person sizes which left us nice and full. The food was very tasty. The view was even better. Only the downside is the birds do you like to join you as an extra guest - wonderful experience would come back here again. Everyone was great and I sure felt relaxed after looking out at the gorgeous harbor. Ps the patio is dog friendly -another added bonus ! read more

Came across this brewery and saw that it was happy hour. I ordered both the happy hour items which were pua pork tacos and the pepperoni rolls. I had an interesting view on the tacos as they weren't what I was expecting, comparing it to tacos I get in San Diego. The tortillas weren't as I liked due to the texture, but the combination with shredded pork and pineapple made up for it. As for the pepperoni rolls, it was as expected and great bite especially when drinking. I was able to taste (4) drinks they had on draft. I would say that out of those, I would have to get, "Dukes." Dukes had a unique taste that I didn't have drinking in Waikiki. I also couldn't locate Dukes anywhere else. Lastly, service was great and the hospitality was amazing. I would come back here again especially when visiting Koko head. read more

I enjoyed my outdoor dining experience here with my best friend and my partner. I kept it simple with a spicy margarita, and what really drew me in were the Yelp photos of the pizza rolls! It was a light meal in a nice outdoor space, and I also liked browsing the cute merch they had available for purchase. Unfortunately, the nachos my partner ordered were a bit stale, but we didn't complain, we just wanted a relaxed dinner to end another night of exploring Hawai'i like we usually do. One opportunity for improvement would be the outdoor seating. The plastic chairs weren't the most comfortable and felt a bit constricting, especially if you're on the heavier side. Thankfully, the server was super kind and accommodating, and helped move me to a more open and stable seat inside the dining room, which I really appreciated. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the overall ambiance. The restaurant is right by the water, and at night, it's especially pretty with the glow of outdoor lights. And of course, the perfect Hawai'i weather made the whole experience even better. read more

It's been a couple of years since us "vacation regulars" have been back in Oahu. As always, our first stop from the airport was Kona Brewing. We were absolutely crushed to hear that our favorite bartender Mikey no longer worked there.

I really enjoyed my fish sandwich here! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The mac salad here was also great!

Went on a Tuesday at around 6:30 pm. It was somewhat busy still since there was trivia, and we had about a 10-15 minute wait which wasn't bad. Was sat down and was able to see the view of the water which was nice. I decided to get the fish tacos. Food came out super fast, probably within 5 minutes it came to our table. Although this was amazing, I felt like it was weird it was ordered and to us so quickly. It makes me speculate things are frozen and easily heated up? I got my fish tacos, which came with a side of mac salad. Although it was plated fine, the taste was just not good... at all. It was completely lacking flavor and seasoning. The fish tasted like literally nothing. I was highly dissatisfied especially since it was pretty pricy. The Mac salad was average but also lacking flavor and needed salt. I had high hopes because I heard decent things about this place. But after trying their food, and other people at the table feeling the same way about their food, I don't think I'd be back. read more

We stopped by Kona Brewing hoping to watch a football game and relax. There were very few tvs available to watch, except for at the bar. Despite that, the view outside was beautiful and very peaceful. While we did not get any food, we got a Mai Tai that was not the best. When comparing to other Mai Tais tried on the island, this one does not compare. Even without comparison, the Mai Tai itself was still not good. From there, we decided to leave as we weren't able to watch any tv and likely werent going to enjoy the food either if we ordered it. I wouldn't recommend checking out Kona Brewing, especially with lots of other options for drinks and other breweries available that one can try and relax at. read more

One of my friends loved this brewing company, so I figure I had to stop by while in Hawaii. I also wanted to simply drown in beer as I just hiked Koko Head Trail (IYKYK). Their flight option is $15 where you can pick 4 different beers, which they give you in 5 ounce glasses each. Instead of serving it to you on a paddle, they have this placemat of all the beers that they brew with descriptions of each underneath. They place the glass on top of the respective beers that you order, which I found unique and cool. They had one porter, which they were sold out of, bummer. So I got their Gold Cliff IPA (hint of pineapple), Hanalei Island IPA (passionfruit, mango, and guava), Koko Brown (toasted coconut), and Kua Bay IPA. Koko Brown was my favorite of the four. We also got an order of the Uncle's Ahi Poke ($24) with rice (+$2), which is one of their best sellers, to snack on. Pretty refreshing and did it's job to fill us up a bit, but not ruin our appetite. Service is pretty good. They have a nice marina view right on the water, which we were not expecting, so make sure to request a seat there if you're into that stuff. Pigeon do invite themselves inside and scavenge. There's a souvenir shop, but overpriced. read more

After another amazing hike on this beautiful island we stopped by for a late lunch. We were still slightly muddy, so we may have received a few stares. It was after two at the place, medium busy but no wait to be seated. At first we were going to sit outside however it was windy and a little on cool side. So we Requested to move inside. Not sure which pizza friend order, it was ono delish, very spicey sauce with small chucks of chicken, black bean, cheese, corn , like a Southwest pizza. We also all ordered black coffee, which included refills. It was pretty decent for a brewery. The the harbor view is pleasant and the restaurants windows are set up to allow dinners to enjoy it. Our server was very efficient taking order, refilling drinks, etc. but on the serious side. We left satisfied and ready for the drive home on the traffic jam called the H1. read more

We loke to go here for the fresh air dining and selection of beers. Their food is also always good. Their tacos, hamburger, the pizza rolls, etc. The staff always pleasant and courteous. It must be nice to be a regular there if you live out in Hawaii Kai, for us it is a treat to drive out there on a stop holoholo around the island, or after a hiking golfing or sailing day. Hawaii Kai can be WIndy so we don't mind facing the marina instead of makai. It's in the shade another plus for out there. read more

An island favorite, it's been a while I visited the restaurant in Hawaii Kai as the beer is found everywhere (on the mainland). We were in the area during lunch time and it was a great opportunity to visit. It's a restaurant with beer as opposed to a brewery with food - the variety and selection of food is awesome, highlighting and taking advantage of the island's fusion of cultures. To pair the food appropriately, a beer recommendation is made (similar to those restaurants making wine selections). Plus: * Great selection of food + and of course, beer * SWAG - a great selection of Kona Brewing t-shirts are available Minus: * Parking can get a bit challenging at times as it is located in a busy shopping mall * Wind/cold - seating by the water has its disadvantages at times as it could be a bit windy and cold; dress appropriately and you will be fine Located in Koko Marina Center (Shopping Center), Kona Brewing Company's signature restaurant/brewery is a great place to relax, dine, and imbibe on the eastern part of the island. Check it out - a great stop coming back from visiting Hanauma Bay, Sea Life Park, or just driving around the island. read more

Been years since I went there...and was with friends from out of town. Not sure who selected this time for a bday dinner, but a welcome change since it is nice little spot. Open air, so was pretty windy...sometimes not but it is what it is. Workers were awesome...super helpful...super nice but not in an icky way. It was semi-busy...maybe halfsies full. We had a party of 13 + baby. They said oven slow, so pizzas/wings would take a while...so hubs ordered his pizza when we sat and I got a quesadilla and fruit keiki meal for baby. Kohala Pizza - actually came out pretty fast but wasn't cooked all the way. Portuguese sausage is like out of the casing and ground up. Hubs was less thank thrilled about that. I prefer it that way, but didn't taste like portuguese sausage...maybe cuz so little could hardly tell. I haaaate when there is 2 inches of crust around the pizza if crust isn't anything special. This one was not special plus still doughy...little more toppings would be nice. Baby ate her fruits first...not very much of it. 2 orange wedges, pineapple wedge and about 4 grapes. She ripped apart the quesadilla but otherwise was not a huge fan...so she ate from my salad and the pizza. Cobb Salad - Wow, choke stuff. This was pretty good and makes you forget it was a salad. Hubs had some, baby had tomatoes, egg, avo, chicken...I ate some, and took the rest home for next day lunch. Impressive, but it is $20. Nephew had the tri-tip. He pounded the whole thing, except for some mashed that he shared with baby...she loooooved it. Niece pounded her fresh catch. Nice slab of don't know what. One couple shared the Captain...this looked like there was more toppings and less visible crust. Saw some burgers on the other end of the table, but otherwise not sure what was going on. Beer is always good. Food could use some improvement, but otherwise it's a nice place. read more

My friend and I came here for trivia night and had a lot of fun! Their happy hour had some good deals and the hummus appetizer came with some warm seasoned pita and veggies!
