“ Stopped by after visiting Volcanoes National Park and it was the perfect spot to rest and eat. Portions of the food were great, I got a mini plate which was perfect for 1 serving and my husband got a kalua pig plate which tasted awesome. Nice seating areas and next to the gas station and 7-11. Highly recommend! ”
“ We absolutely love this place we order all the time, staff is friendly and nice, and the food is great We normally get the loco moco and the katsu loco. 100% recommended ”
“ Decent cafe by a gas station offering breakfast and lunch meals. Lunch is available all day. I had the seafood mix which includes fried shrimp, fried fish, grilled beef, rice and mac salad. It was very filling and pretty good. No bathroom though but there is a porta potty in the back. ”
“ We stopped here after visiting the volcanoes for much of the day. I had the mini BBQ chicken and hubby had the loco moco. Even with the mini, it was SO MUCH FOOD!! Hubby's regular loco moco had 2 full burgers! Lots of food for the money, and it was great too! Felt like a local place, and that's what we look for on vacation. Friendly staff. ”
“ Solid diner food for a quick bite or take-away. The healthy helping of the breakfast sandwich is very much appreciated. Take it to go as you explore or plan to spend the day at the Volcano. Prices are also reasonable and it's quick. Service is great. The ambience is ok. On the other hand, the air conditioning is heaven sent on a hot day. ”
“ Food (5/5) We got a Grilled Ono plate lunch and Seafood Mix plate lunch. The Grilled Ono is definitely a healthier option lol and the fish is probably better fried rather than grilled since it was dry. The Seafood Mix plate lunch was delicious!! The BBQ beef was juicy and flavorful, and the fried seafood was perfectly fried too. The portion size was also huge. Price (4/5) It's definitely on the pricier side, as a meal will run you around $15 and up. However you get good bang for your buck. Wait Time (4/5) It did take a while for our food to come out, but it's probably due to "island time" and there being several orders ahead of us. You can tell they are freshly frying or grilling your order in the back :) Ambiance (4/5) It's a small grab and go place with five tables for seating - this is a no frills place. It's right by 7-11 which is convenient. I found it cute and interesting that they had some used books, mainly 80-90s romance novels haha. Service (5/5) Everyone was friendly and welcoming. No concerns. Parking/Access (5/5) Not a busy parking lot, plenty of spots available. Honestly I would be back if I was in the area! It's a great grab and go place. You could also eat here but it's not my ambiance. For the price, convenience, and taste, it's definitely worth a stop. Highly recommend getting the Seafood Mix plate or another combo plate lunch. ”
“ We came at night and there was no wait. Ordered the garlic chicken. It did take about 10-15 minutes, but it came out super fresh and delicious. ”
“ This is a nice little lunch stop traveling between Hilo and Volcano National Park. The menu is extensive so you're sure to find something you like. I had the teri beef burger that was loaded with meat, mostly tender with just a few tough parts. My wife really enjoyed their garlic ahi special, and my daughter devoured their cheeseburger and fries. My dad had the mini plate of garlic chicken, but it was honestly a huge portion that he barely was able to finish. There's a good number of tables to sit at, and it seemed most people took out and ate in the cars. ”
“ Went to the Kīlauea Summit and Volcano. By the time we finished a few lookout points, it was 2pm. We wanted something close and found Kurtistown Cafe on Yelp. It is right next to a gas station and a 7/11 with plenty of parking. The staff recommended the roast pork and boy are we glad we listened. Because it was late lunch, there were only two roast pork meals left. 1. Roast Pork- HUGE portions and choice of macaroni or toss salad. Plenty of gravy over everything. It really is their signature best. 2. Grilled Ono- very good flavor 3. Garlic Ahi- if you're a garlic lover then it's perfect otherwise it's a little too much. 4. Loco moco- same delicious gravy and huge portion. 5. Shaved Ice- to be honest, it's really a snow cone NOT shaved ice. Both cherry and pina colada were good. Very limited flavors though. ”
