Broke Da Mouth Grindz- KONA

Found this spot on Yelp and Google and had to try it while visiting Kona for some Hawaiian food. Located in a shopping center, it gets pretty busy, no cash card only and no ac inside. The line can get long but it goes with the flow of getting the food and tables opening up to eat. The pies looked good and huge for like $26 but definitely shareable. We got the 3 combo plate with the most popular - braised beef, garlic shrimp, and furikake chicken and just with white rice. Then my dad wanted the pork belly belly fat plate with white rice and I got him a mini. They each come with a side and I asked what the most popular were and they were the egg macaroni salad and sweet potato salad with bacon and eggs. Served cold and really good. They have water and sodas for sale too. I really liked their

So Delicious!! We arrived a couple of minutes before opening time and there were already 2 other groups waiting to get in and the line kept filling up the entire time we were there. So arrive early if you can. This was the first place I saved from IG and I’m happy to say it lived up to the hype! My husband and I shared a 2 meat platter. Ordered the spicy garlic furikake chicken (favorite!!), pork belly fat adobo, spicy kimchi fried rice and a side of sweet potato with bacon. Servings are very generous, so you can easily share a platter or save some for later

Coming to Hawaii, I didn’t realize that I would have some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to the South. If you want island style food with generous portions, go to Broke Da Mouth Grindz. We got the Garlic Furikake Chicken with the pork adobo fried rice with a side of mashed purple sweet potato. The chicken was like any other chicken I’ve ever tasted. Juicy, crispy, flavorful. The rice was out of this world. And the mashed sweet potato was a perfect mix of salty and sweet. They had seating available to eat and a really cool local vibe. If we had a car we would have eaten here many more times. The staff were very kind.

Went there before open hour and there were already 2 groups waiting before us. Great food, abundant flavour, and they ain’t joking about the desert size when they say it feeds 3-4 ppl, it’s a huge slice of ice cream. We tried the kona coffee flavour and it was great. We were among the early groups so we got our food quick and we were able to seat inside, if you arrive late, expect 20 min wait and no place for dine-in. Highly recommended!

Food was good. Fairly typical taste and flavors. Atmosphere is below average. Prices are average. Portions are generous. Music was odd mix. Parking was easy and free.
