    Chicken

    Pop in for your discounted gas. Full service store with ATM, cold sandwiches, hot food bar. You'll also be able to use the ice cream shake machine.

    Tsunami potato wedges and fried chicken

    I would never have thought some of the best foods would come from a gas station. It's pretty much a small convenience store to get things on the go. But what surprised me was how clean this location was and the menu. 7Eleven needs to step up their game because the food here especially on the menu looks really good. We just came for the fried chicken and potato wedges. It was so good, we came back a second time. The second time we got Hurricane potato wedges. If you like spicy, sriracha mayo with furikake, get the Hurricane. If you want something more sweet, get the Tsunami. The chicken was pretty tasty. I hear some people even take them on the plane back to Oahu. I'd still go to 7Eleven for food but Minit Stop definitely comes in second.

    When someone told me before that I needed to try the potato wedges and fried chicken from Minit Stop, I was like, "Why?!" Long story short, this time around, right before heading to the airport, we had to make one last stop to fill up gas and get some chicken and potato wedges to bring to Oahu. The workers there are friendly and nice and easy to talk to. I ended up ordering 2 - 3 piece meal which comes with 2 thighs, 1 drumstick and 3 potato wedges. You're probably thinking only 3 wedges?! These wedges are not your ordinary small wedges, they're pretty huge. All I can say is their chicken and wedges are tasty. If you're at a Minit Stop, try it out.

    Hurricane Wedges is WINNAH!!

    OH HOW I WISH YOU WOULD OPEN A MINIT STOP ON OAHU!!! My husband and I were just talking about taking a day trip to Hilo just to visit Minit Stop and get some of their awesome fried chicken, potato wedges and Hurricane wedges! The chicken is so awesome here, and always seems fresh and right out of the fryer. No matter which Minit Stop we've visited on the Big Island, each had awesome hot foods... and yummy sandwiches too like their crab salad hoagies. Sure wish they'd open a store on Oahu!

    Before driving up to see the Volcano, pick up some Chicken for a snack or picnic lunch.

    A very convenient location, right across the Puainako Shopping Center (KTA Market), on the same side of the street. There are two Minit Stop locations, within in a mile of each other in Hilo. The other location is near the airport access road, on Lelani Street, but a little smaller and a bit congested, because its the closest gas station to the airport. Whether your going up to the Volcano or headed to the airport...this Minit Stop location is the perfect place to fill gas, pick up some snacks, drinks and fried chicken. My wife & I absolutely love the Minit Stop chicken. We got hook on this Fried Chicken when visiting Maui a couple of years back...so,when we visit Maui our Omiyage to bring back to Oahu is the 6 piece thighs and 6 piece potato wedges. This was our first visit to this Hilo location and like it for its cleanliness, variety of products and of course, its convenient location. The fried chicken had the same consistency as the Maui locations, which meant, Omiyage for our Oahu family.

    3 pcs. Box special.

    Just bought gas and there are no restrooms available for customers. It was very disappointing, when had other choices!

    I love the chicken and the fact that it's close to work and home. It's just pricey but staff is friendly and food tastes fresh.

    When a store is the only game in town for goods near a tourist entry point, one would expect/accept…read morehigh prices. Instead, Keaukaha General Store (within easy walking distance of the Port of Hilo) provided a great selection of sundries, some souvenirs of Hilo, and a small menu of Hawaiian favorite dishes at prices that were the lowest I've seen in Hawaii. My wife and I came here twice: first while walking into town, when we picked up souvenirs and an unexpected loco moco plate. It was a lot less crowded then, with us being the only ones there...allowing us to have a completely different experience. When we came back as we headed back towards the ship, other cruisers from the ship had discovered this place, and were stocking up on various things. It's a large modern space inside, with things organized displayed very neatly. There was no sense I needed to check for expiration dates. There was a portable ATM machine right by the door. A decent selection of alcohol at good prices were displayed (e.g. $8.81 for a bottle of Barefoot Cab or $18.99 for a 12 pack of Budweiser). I took the opportunity to get something I've not seen elsewhere: a bag of dried clams (aka Asari) for $4.19. Ended up finishing it that night...was really good. It has an all day menu, and was able to order a Loco Moco for breakfast. The all beef patty was very thick and dense, definitely from a frozen patty...good for Salisbury steak or Loco Moco, but wouldn't be great for a burger. The brown gravy was served hot and hadn't congealed, and the 1 egg had been cooked over easy, just as requested. It was obviously freshly made. It was packed to-go, with condiments and utensils available near the registers. There wasn't much space to eat inside, but because it wasn't too busy, found a space to sit in the back. I scarfed it down (probably too fast) while my wife finished her shopping. Also in the back, there are gourmet coffee machines and a chest freeze full of hand scoopable ice cream. There is a Pepsi self serve soda machine, along with various sizes of chips. My wife initially bought a couple of t-shirts as requested souvenirs for our travel mates ($25 a piece), and bought another one as we were heading back. On the 1st trip, she also liked a perfume body mist...the tester was the last one so the attendant sold it for half price ($14). For us, she bought a Hilo waterproof sticker for $2.75. And her favorite part of the store was the small portable Pokémon card machine, that dispensed random Japanese Pokémon cards for a quarter. She kept changing out dollars for quarters and ended up getting $5.75 of them...and a couple of them were hollos that we like. They do charge a 3.25% credit card fee, so cash is preferred when possible.

    Located on the way to the Hilo beaches and in the industrial area. Here you'll find a small variety…read moreof hot foods, poke and tons of drinks and ice.
