First time here and loved everything about it! The view, atmosphere, service and food was AMAZING! Especially loved the schooners which are those enormous goblets of your choice of brew that comes completely chilled! Definitely have their fish & chips and fresh catch when you go here!

We were given a gift certificate here, excited to try it we went for sunset to end the day perfectly.The poke nachos were a special and we got those as an appetizer. We should have stopped there. I can’t tell you who our server was but one of them recommended the fresh catch of the day. So I changed my entree order from a burger to a fresh catch sandwich. My boyfriend got the fresh catch entree basket. So we both had the same fish. Tuna.Poke nachos came out fast. We waited forever for the entrees and when they arrived it wascold. Fries looked great but were cold, fish had the slightest bit of warmth to it and was dry.Gross! I’m not one to waste food, I hate wasting food in fact. I could only manage a few bites before I called it quits. My boyfriend was in the same boat. I don’t recommend this place.

Best burgers for 4000 miles. Good service, great view! The ice cold schooners of beer are the bomb. The best value on the island. We spent 10 days in Kona and found ourselves drawn here multiple times. Tammy served our table a couple times and topped off the experience perfectly! Absolutely loved it.

The food is mostly bland, although the fish of the day was cooked on the same grill as the burgers. So I guess you can say the fish tasted like burgers which was disappointing. I get the feeling that they want to fry everything and let you dip it in ketchup for flavor. They are obviously low on staff still, so be prepared for a wait for the bill. The bathroom smells an awful lot like a bathroom. However, the staff are friendly when you can see them. On a positive note, most of the seating will allow you a nice view of the harbor, and a cool breeze.

They only serve beer and wine. If you sit at the bar, you will get served when the bar tender (Rose) feels like acknowledging you. But, the beer is cold, and the view is OK. The food is mediocre. There are better spots.
