This was such a fun place. We loved the live music in the evening and the staff was friendly and helpful well recommendations. Portions on the fish and chips were a bit small for the price but it was so tasty. They were single staffed so it took a bit of time but we didn't mind because of the view and music.

Oh my this was such a great place to come to have a drink and watch the sunset. This restaurant is located at the Kona Coast Resort where we stayed. It was really nice to be able to walk over to it from our condo. They do not have a special "Happy Hour" but we really enjoyed having a drink here. They have a full bar and offer drinks, wine, beer and hard seltzer. We so enjoyed the waitress and bartender and received great service. In the evenings, most nights, they had live music which made the whole experience top notch. In addition to coming here in the evenings, we had breakfast here one morning. They have a limited menu, but very tasty. The food was served hot and was good. The real magic here was the amazing sunset view, the nice music and the great drinks and service that we received. Thanks for making our time so nice when we came here.

The food was wonderful, super good hamburgers, I don't know how two slices of cheese made it extra cheesy, but they did it super well! The service was wonderful, and the ambience of the singer in front of the pool was amazing! 10 out of 10!

We got there near when they stop serving but still 15 minutes. For some reason the waitress ignored us and took 2 tables that came in after us. We finally flagged her down and she said kitchen was closed. I pointed out she took orders from 2 tables that came later, she went back and said she got them to let her take the order. I'm addition tables had not been cleared and we had to Push dishes to the side and wipe the table. We split a pork sandwich with fries that was pretty good but after the problem getting served and dirty tables don't expect to Go back

Papaya filled with yogurt and granola

This restaurant is located on the Kona Coast Resort property. They have upgraded it quite a bit since our last visit. However, each time we dined there, they only had one server and they doubled as the bartender sometimes. The food was fresh and served hot/cold. They had a smaller selection than the last time, but it was quality fare. We had the Ono fish and chips, the mushroom Swiss burger, the chicken cordon blue sandwich, chicken wings, papaya with yogurt and granola, stuffed French toast, fruit plate, bacon & eggs while we were there. The view from the place overlooks the ocean and they do have live music several nights a week, which was new. Loved their virgin lava flow and Pina colada drinks while sitting poolside. Papaya

Ham and Eggs with yummy potatoes.

The food wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't special either. If you ask me what the best thing about this place is I would have to say that if you are staying at the Kona Coast Resort is that it is convenient. The food is not remarkable, and the menu has shrunk. But it will fill you up, and the view from the patio is nice. So it you are going to be walking around shopping in town for several hours it's a good way to start the day. If you're looking for a spectacular meal you will have to search elsewhere.

POS of a person in general

Leaving a 1 star for the earful service by the waitress who refused to give us her name. But I got a photo, not the best quality. The food was good here but the service from her and the bar tender was unacceptable to any standard. It doesn't take much to be a decent human being but this lady was ignoring us, talking about us to the bar tender to where we could hear her and practically throwing our drinks at us as she brought them over. She was helping everyone around us that got there after us and when we put our order we waited and hour and a half and still nothing. We ended up leaving when we asked her if it was almost ready and her response rude and walked away to the bar tender and started pointing and laughing. So sad that this lady has no class or was ever taught how to treat people.

WORST waitress EVER!!

Laverne's is one of many good bars and restaurants along the water in Kona. It used to be Humpy's…read moreand still has the same vibe. They have a downstairs bar and tables, plus another larger bar upstairs that connects with their dance floor and bar, plus goes on to connect with the neighboring bar and music venue. There are restrooms both downstairs and upstairs. I've been here many times, and am always appreciative of their draft beer selection. They have a great collection of old tap handles around the ceiling, many beers and breweries that no longer exist. On our recent visit, we had a great bartender/server who was attentive and quick with orders. Beer glasses were clean, beer cold and fresh. They have a large menu of foods, including brunch earlier in the day.

Stumbled upon Laverne's Sports Bar on a rainy day while looking for somewhere close to our hotel,…read moreand I'm glad we did! The place was pretty empty -- probably due to the downpour outside -- which honestly gave it a really chill, laid-back vibe that we ended up loving. Heads up if you're parking in the back: we scanned the QR code and it came out to $50, which felt steep. Not totally sure if that's standard or if we did something wrong, so just be aware before you scan! Inside, there was only one waitress working, but she was accomodating and even let us split our bill, which is always appreciated. The food also came out fairly fast, which was great since we were starving. I went with the chicken sandwich and fries -- the sandwich was perfectly moist and juicy, not dry at all, which is exactly what you want. Hit the spot on a cold, rainy day. Might possibly stop by again next time we're in the area - minus parking in the back lot. Great little spot if you want something low-key and satisfying.

Went for dinner and drinks with the family. Run runner was super good. The new manager is SO NICE…read moreand was busting his buns all through the crazy night. He SAVED the night on more than one occasion. This is one of our favorite stops as it's super close to our house. The views are undeniably some of the best in Kona. They have amazing outdoor patio areas with fire pits. Perfect for gathering.

On our last full day in Hawaii, we decided to finally try this place near our condo for lunch (no…read morereservation - place wasn't very busy). The restaurant is in an unbeatable location with sweeping views from every table, plenty of parking, and open-air seating with good amounts of shade. Service was a little slow to start, but we weren't in a hurry. Once things got rolling, we got our drinks and food pretty quickly. The draft beer selection is limited, but they have a huge cocktail menu and full bar. I ordered the fish and wedges (beer-battered ono with seasoned potato wedges). It came with coleslaw. Fish was 5/5 stars. Wedges were 5/5, too. The coleslaw was 3/5 just because it was underseasoned and not that special. Serving size was generous and I only ate two of the three pieces of perfectly cooked fish. My husband had the kalua pork tacos and he raved about them. The only disappointment was that they were out of the potato mac salad, which he was looking forward to. The sub of seasoned potato wedges worked well, though.
