This was a great surprise! We came here to go to da bead shop, we parked right in front of this restaurant before they opened, on the way back they had opened up. We each got something different my favorite was the cheesesteak ! The bread is amazing (they make their own bread and you can tell) I added their own spicy mustard and it took the sandwich to the next level, My sister has the mushroom burger and she loved it too. We also had a keki menu the chicken and rice my two year old was thrilled. We ended the meal with two cookies a rocky road and a macadamia we loved the macadamia we took one to go. read more

No matter how hard I tried, it seems that our food just disappears within 5 minutes. I LOVE their Coconut Curry. Big chunks of Ono, plump shrimp, and mouth watering curry sauce. I just cannot resist. Can't take my time, nor pace myself. It is so good, you'll want more when you cleaned your plate. Do try their desserts! Lilikoi cheesecake is a must, but also raspberry Lava Cake was heavenly. Wonderful service. Great food. Every time we eat here. read more

If you are vegetarian and you are here to have the veggie garlic pasta with fried broccoli, that's not on menu any more. Have added the latest menu. The Cajun pasta they served was tasteless, they added more of the Cajun butter, and it was quite tasty after that. They tout their lilikoi cheesecake is best in the world, and it was so tasteless that you can never guess the flavor. The service was quick relatively, their bathroom has no lock! Average interiors and vibe. No crayons for kids. read more

Found this place accidentally and we've been already been back twice during our stay! The pulled pork, the jerk chicken and the cheesesteak sandwich are all amazing! Along with the Parmesan truffle fries! The service is wonderful, and they clearly take pride in their food and whole restaurant experience! We love it!! read more

Rebel Kitchen - Jambalaya - Sandwiches Near Me - Kealakekua, Hawaii

Checked out Rebel in the Kona area after hearing about it on TV for their hot sauce. The vibe is super relaxed and definitely has that local charm. The owners were there when we stopped in and were really friendly. They mentioned it's been a little slow lately, which is a shame because they're clearly passionate about the place. I had the sangria, which was light and easy to drink. My partner went for the special beer on tap , he liked it, said it was crisp and cold, nothing fancy but hit the spot. We tried the pizza fries as an app... they were okay. Not bad, but not something I'd go out of my way to order again. All in all, it's a chill spot to grab a drink and support a local business. Would be cool to go back and try something else with their hot sauce next time. read more

5 stars for service, 1 Star for food. We got the chicken wings, and it had some rawness inside, overly caked outside, and it was the slimmest wings I've ever had. Close to $20 gets you 4, not the entire wing, but just one section of it. The place was better a couple of years ago, but now the menu is not worth a visit anymore. To note: I think the waiter might of hinted that we should something else, but it was so subtle of a hint that it didn't compel us to change the order. I hope the place gets a revamp soon. read more

I cannot find a place like this on Oahu! Anyways found Rebel Kitchen on Google Maps while vacationing at the Kona Outrigger! Street parking and glad there was no wait on a weekday at about noon. Wanted to try two different sandwiches so we halved the cheesesteak and the jerk chicken, one with fries the other with coleslaw. These two did not disappoint! It was an explosion of flavors and heat! But their ketchup, I loved - it has a hint of curry flavor in it...so good! Our choices were delicious! Service was awesome! Mahalo Rebel kitchen for an awesome lunch! read more

I can't say enough good things about Rebel! We ate there twice while we were on the island. Everything we had was so amazing!

EXCELLENT service. Wonderful place to sit and enjoy with family in a great environment. We had the Rebel burger which was wonderful & juicy. You MUST try the mustard when you come here. Must stop in Kona! read more

Two young guys running the place. Great service and the food was fresh made and tasty!! If they tell you it's spicy...believe them! Will stop in again the next time I'm on the island! read more

Rebel Kitchen is a gem. The menu is eclectic with strong Hawaiian influence, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. The drink selection is excellent too -- great beers, kombucha, and other creative options. Friendly server was very fun and helpful. warm and inviting dining area. The wonton starters were outstanding -- honestly, I could have made a meal out of those alone, but there's too much good stuff on the menu to stop there. Their spicy ketchup and mustard are next level -- so flavorful and clearly made with fresh ingredients. I ordered an extra side of fries just to keep dipping. I had the "Da Aina" veggie burger and loved it. Others in our group had the ono sandwich, Thai steak, and jerk chicken sandwich -- all big hits. Our only disappointment? We didn't have time to go back and try more. read more

Food was amazing. Had the Lomo Saltado which had so many flavors it took me a minute to figure out what was going on in my mouth. It was served over fries and they were crunchy even when I was done with my meal. Amazing. The staff is super friendly as well. There are lots of beers on tap too for those who partake. Quaint little spot with an awesome local Hawaiian vibe. A must visit if you're anywhere near Kona. Here is an overview of the meal I had- Local grass fed sliced ribeye sautéed with veggies and french fries in a SPICY tomato sauce, our twist on a traditional Peruvian specialty. Served with rice. read more

The sauces are the most memorable thing. So much so we had some shipped home. The food and service were good as well.

Was able to get a table relatively fast and the food we ordered came after 20 minutes. I got a Da Rebel burger. The bacon was nice and crisp. The burger was juicy and great. The ketchup at this establishment is lightly spiced enhancing the experience of eating fries. Overall it was a great experience and a lively restaurant. read more

Just had the BEST dinner here! The service was terrific and the food was amazing!! We had the seared ahi, Cuban rolls, poke chips and garlic pepperoni fries!! I actually can't wait to go back and have some more from the menu!! It was our first time here and I will be a regular for sure!! read more

I mean, come on...this place is even better than we remember from 2 years ago. The food is AMAZING and the service is even better. I am the kind of customer that asks for the waiter's opinion....sometimes I get a good response other times, like this, the waiter guided me to a perfect selection...the Rebel Burger. So good. That said as we saw other food being delivered, it made us wish we lived here so we could work our way through the menu. John had the corn chowder with sausage....also wonderful. Oh, if you like dark beer...the Kona Stout...yum read more

I've eaten here a few Times. I always get the same thing shrimp burger with pepperoni fries. This last time I went the shrimp was extremely salty. I'm and I have a high salt liking and it was too salty for me. I couldn't even take more than 3 bites. I tried to take the bacon out to make it less salty but I still couldn't eat it. The fires were delicious as always! read more

They bake their own bread and rolls. So yum. We ordered the shroom burger. Whoa! Huge burg and the fries were bomb! Some of the best EVER! DON'T Oder the won ton shrimp app! Gross! I thought the won ton would be thin & crispy.. but nah, & they seemed frozen first. Bummed about this item. Dark atmosphere inside & the Bathroom is pretty yucky. Service was pleasant, but didn't even ask how the won tons were since I'd only eaten 1/2 of one. read more

We got the Chicken wontons: Very yummy, tasted like it had potatoes in it too, the sauce on it was great Falafel salad: The falafel in the salad tasted very original! Ono burger: pretty simple overall but the fish was so flavorful and I really enjoyed the sauce they put on it! Very good! We also tried their sauces the ketchup, mustard and hot sauce, I really enjoyed the hot sauce it was a great spice level and flavor as well, we liked both ketchup and mustard but we preferred the flavor of the mustard overall. The ketchup had a curry flavor to it read more

Wowza! What a delicious meal. This very small eatery in Captain Cook is basically a roadside shack. A very nice shack, but no windows because you are looking through wood slats at wood tables. The service is friendly, but they cannot fill the tables because they are short staffed. The food is incredible. The Rebel Palmer (lilikoi lemonade and Tea) is refreshing and delicious. The Thai Steak Salad is the perfect mix of chopped veggies and tender local beef with a SPICY peanut dressing. Fam bam loved the cheesesteak sandwiches and the cuban rolls. The lunch was so good that we ordered one of each of the cookies. The peanut butter smore was the best followed closely by the lilikoi cookies and then the Hawaiian ginger. Personally, I would skip the chocolate chip-coconut next time. It was $90 plus tip for lunch for four without alcohol. Pricey but tasty. read more

Delicious food, with a great selection, something for everyone! And wonderful service, too. If it says SPICY on the menu, take heed. It's a flavorful spice, but it IS spicy! Good vibes all around. Thanks Rebel Kitchen! read more

We expected more. Food was fine, service was lacking. Generally a pretty meh experience

Stopped in here without knowing they'd been on Food Network's Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives! Dining area is enclosed but open air at the same time. I had the Da Aina veggie burger with a house made veggie patty, avocado sauce, plus $1 for the pepperoni garlic fries (super garlicky but delicious!); and my husband had Shrimp & Bacon sandwich with regular fries. Both sandwiches were delicious; probably the best veggie patty I've ever had! They also have fun house-made sauces to pair with your meal and to purchase: Kona Ketchup, Hawaiian Fire Sauce, and Mauka Mustard. The hot sauce was very good; the ketchup I liked but it was a little sweet. read more

The service was amazing. If youre looking for a small hole in the wall this is the place to go. The food is amazing and was out in just a short time. Highly recommend using the sauces that they make. You will spend around 20bucks per plate or burger but the food is worth it. I went at about 6pm so it wasnt too busy but during the day there may be a wait because there isnt a lot of space. Portions may be a tad smaller than some other local food places but it was enough to make me feel satisfied... read more

What great, unique food. Great service too. I had a very good and somewhat spicy soup and a decidet chocolate cupcake. Love the place

Wholesome food, large portions in a quaint restaurant with lovely staff. A nice find tucked away from the more busier spots.

There might be other places you can eat tonight but every other choice is wrong. This place is so good you will finish your meal then call your Healthcare provider to see if they'll clone you a second stomach just so you can eat more of their food. read more

So glad I spotted this place and stopped in! Soooo good! I had the steak nacho fries and they were amazing. Great place and great staff!

No. Almost $20.00 for (4) FOUR, 1.2.3.4. Wings!!!!! The chicken sandwich was dry and so small, again, another $20. Cheese steak was also small, tasteless, and go on, guess how much? Lunch for two was $100. Too bad, loved this place from way back but apparently quality isn't the focus anymore..... and the owners were there. Hate leaving this but it's a tourist trap It's A Trap!!!! read more

Rebel Kitchen - Cheesesteak sandwich with side of garlic/pepperoni fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Kealakekua, Hawaii

We've been to Rebel Kitchen a few times over the years and as soon as we saw the Cuban Rolls on the menu we knew this spot would be fun. They have bar seating, indoor seating and outdoor seating and every time we've been in the staff has been friendly. They source their ingredients locally and have house made sauces that they also sell in store and online. All their menu items are packed with flavor and the sauces go great on many items including the fries. We love the Cuban Rolls and have gone just for those and a beer or two. They're a bit pricy considering it's three rolls cut in half, but the flavor is great and it's a really unique item. We also love that they carry local beers here like Big Island Brewhaus. read more
