    Mac Attack &  Kalua Dog
    Hannah M.

    Always a classic stop in Hilo town. Their food is reliable, and we love the variety of options, including vegetarian and multiple different meat options for your hotdog. The service is always incredible and I think it's pretty fair serving size for the price you pay is right downtown Hilo so plenty free parking and other shops to check out while you make your trip down here.

    This is my nephew's favorite place to go for lunch because the food and service are great. Takeout your lunch or relax and chill at the outdoor tables.

    Dole Whip float.  Blended with pineapple chunks. Kids loved it; I stole some.

    This place is awesome, 4.7 on Yelp usually doesn't steer you wrong. This place earns the 5 stars. Options: I have a vegetarian, two different kinds of picky kids, and I like different stuff with lots of flavor. This place checks all boxes. Food: Aife liked veggie dogs, son loved the straight up regular dog. Daughter had the Keiki size red dog and devoured it. I went with the Hawaiian red hot dog with "Aloha topping" and it was the best hot dog i've ever had. Service was great; seemed like two women working a lunchtime on a Tuesday. They were fast, polite, and exceptionally nice. Great place, no doubt 5 stars.

    Chili cheese, dog, and the Chicago dog. Delicious.

    Continues to be one of my favorite places to grab a really great hotdog. Came here with a friend and he ordered the Chicago dog and I had my usual chili cheese, dog with tomatoes and sour cream. A couple tourists walked by and saw the hotdogs and went in and ordered their own lunch because they thought they look so good. They were very happy they stopped.

    So, my wife and I happened to find this restaurant on accident while exploring Hilo town. We had just left the farmers market and saucy dogs was just a short walk away. Let me preface my review by saying, I love hot dogs. That being said, saucy dogs is on a whole other level. I got the kalua dog, and it was amazing. I subbed in a polish sausage for mine. I loved that you could customize your dog. The flavor was phenomenal. The BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy and the garlic aioli was a great undertone, mixing with the tender kalua pork. I highly recommend this spot. There were a lot of different options!

    These are the 10" dogs. The food was very good, came with chips and a drink. Very limited seating but good for a quick bite

    Housemade kalua dog

    It was so ono that we dug in before getting photos! My husband had the chili bowl --really really good homemade chili. And highly recommend the house made Kalua pork! Great locally owned and sourced housemade food!

    Delicious!! Best hot dog I've had in a long time. Lots of options too. and the dogs are loaded with goodness! Service was very nice. There's not seating inside but that didn't bother us - we took ours to go and ate outside. Definitely recommend.

    I love good hotdogs and was looking forward to trying Saucy Dogs because my son raved about them. So on a hot Saturday afternoon we were in the area so we stopped by. It is a cute little place that would be easy to miss. We love doing business with these small shops and restaurants in Hilo because it's like everyones small home town. My wife wasn't as hungry as I was so she ordered a kid's hotdog, which was of course plain with no frills except for mustard. I love Chicago dogs so that is what I ordered with my choice of a polish sausage in it. What I got was not a Chicago dog. It didn't have the bright green relish, the pickles were slices instead of a spear, the tomatoes were diced fine instead of wedges and the chili peppers were not the sport peppers usually put on Chicago dogs. The saving grace was that the bun was so soft and delicious. The hotdog was actually pretty good and I may stop by again and try another type of hotdog next time.

He was situated with a flag on the corner of Kapoho Rd (132) and Pohoiki Rd. Two hot dogs came out to $12.50. I got the Buffalo Cheesy Jalapeno Brat and the husband got the Reindeer Polish Dog. Both hot dogs were juicy and full of flavor. The hot dog man was playing cards with his buddies when we pulled up but promptly helped us and explained his menu to us to help us made a decision. He was super friendly and welcoming. He grilled the hot dogs and Hawaiian sweet buns on the grill and it was ready in about 5 minutes. He has the usual condiments like ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, relish and onion and two unique toppings( the jalapeno relish and spicy coconut jelly(?)). I LOVED the heat the jalapeno relish added to the hot dog but beware, it is quite spicy. The coconut jelly is sweet with a hint of spicy which was good as well. There's no chairs or table to sit at and eat but it's a quick, stand up meal.

Jesse imports all his elk, reindeer, and buffalo products straight from Alaska, where he used to live. I've tried them all and can't decide which is most delicious, so... have to try them all again. Warning: the elk "mini sliders" are huge... enough to share. The dogs are generously sized too. UPDATE: when I wrote the review the Hot Dog Guy was located in front of HPM hardware in Hilo, but now he is back in his regular spot at the intersection of Hwy 132 and Pohoiki Road near Pahoa. If you are driving from Pahoa towards Kapoho on a Monday-Friday between 9:30-3:30, you will see his truck on the right hand side of the road just past Lava Tree Park.

I asked if needed to buy something else and they said no. So I decided to tip more and wouldn't you know it? The pad which usually rips you off with 15%,20% and 25% had ..... nothing!

The cool thing about this place is that you can choose from a whole sausage, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese in the corn dog or do half and half. More flavor combo options! We decided to try out the Flaming Cheetah, Fried Potato, and Yam-yam corn dogs with half sausage and half mozzarella in each. Our favorite was the Fried Potato followed by the Yam-yam, and then the Flaming Cheetah. The Flaming Cheetah had a sweet sauce on it that took away from the spicy Cheetos crumb topping. More spice would've been nice. Overall, I'd say give Mr Cow corn dogs a try. They're not something I would eat all the time since they're really filling, but they make a fun treat once in a while.

    Cafe 100 - Super loco moco

    I planned for my husband and I to grab a quick bite at Cafe 100 before leaving Hilo. With more than…read more2000 reviews on Google and 30 varieties of loco moco, it was hard to ignore. Cafe 100 is a casual, local spot with window (staff) or kiosk (automated) ordering and plenty of semi-outdoor seating (i.e., you are technically inside and covered, but you can still feel the heat from outside). I will admit the menu felt a bit overwhelming at first glance because there are so many options available, but we visited on a weekday when it was not busy, so we were able to take our time deciding. Anticipating larger portions, we decided to share a mixed type loco moco plate along with a drink. That turned out to be a great call, as the portion was more than enough for the two of us, especially since we would not easily be able to take leftovers with us. This is casual, familiar comfort food done well. No complaints here, and I have already recommended Cafe 100 to a few friends :)

As a born-and-raised local, rice, gravy, and eggs will win me over every time, and I really wanted to love this place for the history alone. I'll be honest though -- the hype set the bar high, and I left a little let down. The regular loco moco was just okay. The hamburger patty tasted pre-made or frozen, though the gravy was solid (thank goodness). The beef stew also tasted pre-made and was lighter on the tomato flavor than I prefer. I ordered the steak as well (around $30), and it came out very well done. On the positive side, they offer a ton of plate lunch options, the space is extremely well kept for a local diner, and there's plenty of parking. It's covered outdoor seating only, but it's comfortable and clean. What surprised me most was the lack of visible history. I expected to see more storytelling about the loco moco origins -- photos, signage, staff sharing pride in it -- something that really leaned into that legacy. It felt a little missing. Still glad I tried it for the experience, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the legendary reputation.
