★★★★★ 5.0 David W · Jan 2026

Awesome food, nice atmosphere, great service! A local recommended this place. It is a little hidden away so not as noticeable as the bakery (across the street). They have a great selection of desserts but we didn't have room to try any. Seated immediately. Friendly and attentive staff. Inside and outside seating. The smash burger was excellent! Cooked perfectly. Great sauce and fried onion. French fried were nice and crispy. Will have to come back and try other menu options.

Once we escaped the orbit of the resorts on the west side of the island, the food became more delicious and made with love. That was the case with Hana Hou. After a long hike at the volcano and some beach time, we stopped by for lilikoi lemonades, hot sandwiches, and a loco moco. It really hit the spot. The food had soul and old-time Hawaiian charm, with portions that made you feel like ohana. I would recommend going out of your way to have a taste!

Sam was our server and she was fabulous! She was very kind and made us welcome from the moment we sat down. I got the loco moco and my partner got the sunday loser. They were both phenomenal! A bit pricey for us but definitely worth it since most everything was local. Great place to fill your belly and if we weren't leaving we would definitely Hana Hou!

This restaurant was well located right after going to the green sand beach long hike under the sun. I loved all the decors inside and the outdoor space was very cute. We had great service from our waitress and I also love that they have live music on the weekends. I definitely recommend, we had the smash burgers and they were delicious, so were their fries.

Very popular restaurant that bills itself as the southern most in the United States. The food is very good and is local sourced, a sign on the wall tells you the name of the ranch where your hamburger meat came from and another sign lists the name of the angler who caught the fish you are eating. My hamburger was a little salty for my tastes , the fries were good and plentiful, my wife's fish was very good, the coleslaw that came with it (well there are styles of coleslaw i like better.) But overall the food was excellent.
