Now, let me take a moment to give Vicki some MAJAH love because sis was nothing but aloha! Super kind, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. She's one of those employees you wish you could encounter at every location, every single time. The kind of person who makes an already good stop that much better. Mahalo nui, Vicki!

However there was zero aloha spirit coming from this place. If someone is spending 50-70 bucks in your store at least try to manage a little friendliness. People work their whole lives to visit the place you call home, and you're lucky enough to live there. We never have experiences like this with native Hawaiian or true local businesses who embody Aloha and all the reasons we love Hawai'i so much. Yes I'm a visitor, but I definitely wouldn't shop here if I was a local either. If you're having a tough time that's okay, we all have our days, but don't bring it to work where people are financially supporting your business with their hard earned money. Or- go out of your way to be unpleasant. Instant mood killer.

It wasn't too busy when we first arrived since they had just opened, but it quickly picked up as a large party came in. We ordered a few things, and everything was delicious! Banh Mi: The bread was soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The filling was flavorful and delicious! Beef and Cheddar: So savory! The meat-to-cheese ratio was perfect, and the bun was soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together. Smoked Beans: Amazing! Hint of sweet, tang, and wonderfully smoky. Definitely a favorite! Lilikoi Plantation Iced Tea: Refreshing with a nice tartness. You can really taste how fresh everything is! Our food took about 15 minutes to come out, which was reasonable, although the tea took around 30 minutes. We had already finished eating by the time it arrived, but the staff were able to put it in a to-go cup for us. I also appreciated that the staff bring the food directly to your table and bus the tables when you're done. There are plenty of products throughout the shop to browse while waiting for your food, too. Overall, a great spot with fresh, flavorful food and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Heard such great things about this butcher shop on social media so had check them out…read more It's a small hole-in-the-wall store in Waimea (Kamuela) butcher shop/restaurant l. Came to buy their well-known Laulau sausage and to try their burgers. Meal prices are a tad bit high, but as they say, "you get what you pay for." We decided to try two different items on their small menu; a pastrami and hamburger. Both were so fresh you could actually taste the difference. Nothing like fresh meat! Both were well-seasoned and TENDER, the bun on the burger was a brioche which was very moist. We also got their version of Mac salad which was quite good The laulau sausage was very good, just never had laulau in a sausage before. GPS gave us the incorrect directions, but we found it. It's across the Ace Hardware store. Open parking.

The Visitor Center is more of a quick stop, but there was plenty to check out, and you get amazing views from the parking lot. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and there were samples of all their macadamia nut flavors, popcorn, and coffee. I got a bunch of souvenirs, including their Spam-flavored macadamia nuts, which are definitely unique and very tasty. There's also a small display of the machinery and history, as well as a spot where you can try cracking your own macadamia nut. Their mac nut ice cream was another great treat, especially enjoyed outside with the views. Great place to stock up on souvenirs and local snacks. Definitely worth a stop if you're on the Big Island!

Kamuela Liquor Store has been in business for over 80 years, the signage on the glass window has 78 years but I confirmed with the kind lady staff that helped me twice this past Saturday, is family owned liquor store located in Kamuela on Hawaii Belt Road, parking is next to the store which is a great thing and offers an impressive selection of wines, spirts, sake, and craft beers, they have a unique offering of cheeses, meats, olives, snacks, some groceries and dips. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable with my questions on wines and recommendations. They also have weekly wine/sake tasting on weekends. I usually stop here to grab my alcohol for the hotel stay and I saw some great deals, close out deals. I purchased 4 bottles and went back to grab a few more bottles, before we drove back to Hilo, during my most recent visit. Luckily the 6 bottles made it back to Oahu safely. It was such a great deal, a close out deal at $6.99, the only regret is not purchasing the last 6 bottles that were left. It was an Oregon wine which I always wanted to try when I was @ Portland but didn't have the chance to.

The ExtraCare system kept booting me out like I was trying to hack the Pentagon, but the staff never acted annoyed. They were patient, kind, and just as frustrated as I was. Today, one of the managers actually took the time to go full FBI forensic analyst on my account and finally fixed it. Honestly, I could go to KTA or Foodland, but I keep coming back because this place still has that small-town village vibe where people know you and genuinely care. The pharmacists have personally called me about medication interactions, helped with refill issues, and even contacted my provider for me when prescriptions got stuck in bureaucratic limbo. The cashiers have also saved me money by pointing out better deals before I checked out, which in this economy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Corporate really should invest more into this location because the staff is fantastic. Maybe start with better coolers before the beer reaches "lightly simmered" status. Good people.
