Hawaiian Food Is Delicious

Best local foodBest local foodbest local food
What is local food you say? There are a lot of different types but I'll go over the most popular.

What is referred to as a "plate lunch" consists of 2 scoops of white rice, 1 or 2 scoops of macaroni or potato salad and then Kalabi barbeque beef or Teriyaki Beef or Teriyaki Chicken just to name a few.

You can order just one or all of the different meats to go with your rice and salad.

Ok, let's get back to where you can find the best local food.

One of the best places here in Kona for good local food is The Big Island Grill located on Kuakini Hwy at Hanama Place.

Hanama Place is the 2nd traffic light south of Palani Rd. on Kuakini Hwy. Don't be in a hurry when you go here to eat, their always very busy and there is almost always a line.

If you're into Thai food, across the street is Krua and the place is always busy in the evening. Though I've never ate there, I've heard a lot of positive reviews from friends.

I used to tout Kona Mix Plate restaurant as the number 2 spot in town. No more. The place has changed hands and the food is just not the same. (Update 12-31-10)- They're pau, that mean they're out of business. Never should have messed with the menu.

Most of the other places in town that serve local food are decent. But these are my favorite places to eat the best local food in Kona. Whats your pick?

Links below are to other places to eat here on the island. Some posted by visitors and some posted by me.
