Merriman’s in Waimea is our all time fav!
We loved the restaurant at Magic Sands - was especially beautiful at sunset!! Amazing
Great video guys!
Love your videos!
We are here on the Big Island! THANK YOU for all your videos I've watched over the last few months. Currently we are at The Coffee Shack. I'm going to get a piece of that cheesecake you recommended. You two are the best! Thank you!!
Sam Choy’s is another one!
Thanks for this vid....very informative!
Don't forget about Manta at the Mauna Kea Hotel. It's a little pricey, but it too has spectacular views of the bay, amazing sunsets, and delicious food!
Julieeeee
Amazing informative videos
Been following you guys for a while and now I moved to the Big Island
Thanks for the tips
Looking forward to seeing you someday
Great video!!! Added all these to my list for next week!!! 🏝🏝🏝
Looks Delicious well have to check it out!
Very cool footage! A few places we haven’t tried... they will be Next on the List! Mahalo!!
I am so excited!! I am heading there next week for 6 days and we are staying in Waikoloa. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I feel like I am so excited! Thank you for your videos (:
Hello. Any recommendations for Waikoloa area. Going in 4 days. Anything great within 20 minute drive.
We loved Splashers 😩, Lava Lava is a must! We have enjoyed our 15th and 25th anniversary dinners at Huggo’s. We plan to try Magics Beach Grill on our next visit. Mahalo
Just watched your video on the best restaurant on the big island with a view .We would like to recommend The Fish Hopper, and the Kona Canoe Club and also the Kona Inn.
🎉 Denny's has a great view
amazing video! I had a few places in mind for my honeymoon and you guys just about hit every key place I wanted to go to
Dynamite! Can't wait to go in January. Bookmarking all these spots.
Huggo's on the Rocks is my fave. My husband really misses TJ Ribs at Ali'i market place. Let's hope us Aussies get the chance to return soon
Tj's has closed. Was my favorite.
In 2018 I ate at a BBQ place near Captain Cook i think. The name was Big Jake's I believe. The food was so good that it didn't matter that there was no view. On the Roocks is a must.
We enjoy Lava Java's nice view and good food!
We're making a list of places to go to when we get there! You guys have so much fun in these videos! See you soon!
Kona Inn has nice views with lawn, palm trees and sunset but think it is still closed. Kona Joe’s is a nice coffee farm with coffee bar and stunning views. Not sure it is open either. Hoping all is open when we come back in July
Fish Hopper? And Don’s Mai Tai… especially for breakfast or pau hana to watch the dolphins play. Love the videos! Come Hilo side and hit Seaside or Ponds!
We just got back & really enjoyed all the food & views. Sam Choy’s has a great view & food. We didn’t make it to the coffee shack so I will have to go back to the island.
Nice video. You missed Brown's Beach House at the Fairmont Orchid and Manta at Māuna Kea. I think Brown's Beach House is, arguably, the best restaurant on the island.
Brown's Beach House was definitely on my list and Manta has a fantastic view..we couldn't hit them all in one day, but those two will definitely be on "View restaurants version 2"!
Browns Beach House is our very favorite! We eat there each and EVERY time we visit the Big Island. The views, entertainment and food = wonderful memories of Hawaii! Keep the good videos coming! Hoping your daughter is still around next year for more photos :0)
One other place with an absolutely spectacular view is the Kamuela Provision Company at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. Highly recommended! 🤙🏻
Seafood Bar & Grill (def7not the best view) has good food. Really enjoyed their catch sandwich.
Huggo's is our favorite place to eat and view the sunset on our last night each time we are on the island. We have eaten at Papa Kona's. We also love Annie's Burgers in Captain Cook. They have a nice view of the ocean as well. Looking forward to trying your recommendations on our next visit.
Has Annie's Burgers reopened yet?
@@kelliristine9375 I was last there in January 2020. I sure hope they reopen before I arrive in July!!
Magics Beach Grill is delicious and the view cannot be beat!
Not on the water, but the Holuakoa Cafe is pretty awesome. Nice view in a magical "old Hawaii" setting.
Im hoping the news I have heard is not true - that it is now closed :-(
Oh no... that’s terrible to hear. I hope not too. I have very fond memories from that wonderful restaurant... including my wedding reception.
@@stephaniez6279 Yes, it closed, but someone bought it...someone with a relationship to the Holualoa Inn, I hear.
@@Cicely667 It has closed. It's next chapter is being written.
5:07 best Julie frolick yet!
LOL! I wonder sometimes if Eric is going to keep that stuff in the final video! He DID cut off my final spin and bow at the end!
Great content as always, hopefully Hawaii gets more open, they got rid of the quarantine is that correct. Do they still do testing at the airport or do you need to get tested before arrive.
Aloha! No quarantine! And yes, they still have testing at the airport and are looking to allow those who have been vaccinated a chance to bypass testing in the coming months. All businesses still require that you wear a mask and if you are in public spaces like walking downtown. Our case count is low and our efforts have been rewarded with most of our restaurants, charters, farmers markets and businesses open!
@@365Hawaii thanks for the response, as long as there is no quarantine the testing at the airport is pretty acceptable
Wow we just had age at burger at lava lava beach club
Fosters has great food and videos
Yes it does!
I kind of like the Kona Inn for dinner ...and we always seem to get to Sam Choys.
We are planning a trip to Kona for May. Any suggestion on what part of the Kona to rent a place. I'm looking for Airbnbs close to downtown, I'm assuming that is the place to be, but if there our better options please let me know. We are in our 50's so we don't need to be in nightclub central, we are mainly looking to have a balance of things that are easily accessible and a walk able area, if that make sense.
Kona is kind of noisy at night. Look for something up the hill from Kona with distant ocean views. Cooler at night too.
Rebel Kitchen 79-7399 Hawaii Belt Rd, Kealakekua was a new find for us last week. It's on the road to Volcano so no view but excellent food, great beer selection. They make their own Fire Sauce which honestly is not that hot, they make their own ketchup and their own mustard. The waitress made excellent cupcakes as well. Give it a try.
Great info BUT it would be a lot better if you showed the name of the place and on a map where it is. Non locals will have a hard time knowing what you said. Thanks
Yes, Looking In to that for the future, thanks for the thought.
FOSTER’S KITCHEN!!!!!
Do you find a difference between Browns and Canoe House? View, food, or service?
Any idea when the Kona Canoe club is reopening? Best happy hour Mai Tai
Nope. I think they are tied to Kona Inn and the owners have not set a date for opening that restaurant either.
Talking with an employee, the buzz is ‘June 2021’.
Steak eggs and hash browns you can't go wrong Denny's
Hilo side
I tried to get a reservation for the Canoe House and they only allow guests to make reservations..bummer!
I have heard that. There are just so many people on the island right now, that they were getting flak from their guests when there was no room at either of the restaurants. Give it a few months.
Writing from my daughters account..lol
@@caylin.j That's totally fair, they were very nice when I called. That just means we have to plan another trip lol darn!
I love the Mauna Kea as a resort, but Manta is absolutely terrible. Great view and ambiance but food is beyond disappointing (overcooked seafood, poorly seasoned plates, and egregious prices). I think Merrimans and Canoe House are the way to go near Kohala.
Disappointing that you show only the views and none of the food.
All those restaurants hv good view but I don’t agree with their menu it’s not up to standard in quality consistency and flavors .I wouldn’t not recommend any of those to anyone .I’m a local chef born here on island work at various locations of rest and hotels .Frm Kona kohala coast as well as kamuela.There’s no foods which I enjoy eating .There all shitty to my flavors .I hv my own business as a chef /owner everyone say we hv the best menu for a food concession trailer .Know one cn touch our menu flavors .Ohanafoodtrailer ..Aloha
