Kohala Burger & Taco

We stopped by this spot after a beach day. The special looked good but we were too early so I got the western bacon burger. The wife got the fish burger and kiddo got a regular burger. The fries were pretty good. My only negative to mention is the automatic tip added to the bill. The rest was good. Staff were amazing and friendly. Our meals hit the spot. It had a hole in the wall vibe but good use of the decor they chose. The prices were higher than we were used to but not a deal breaker. I’d say it’s worth the stop. They also have a neat extra, Comic books and trading cards.

Quirky spot with exceptional food! At first, we didn't know what to make of this place. First impression looks like a curiosity shop, but keep going and there is a diner with a harbor view in the back. Tammy welcomed us in and provided great service. We ordered the fish tacos and were surprised and delighted from the first bite. Fresh made taco shells, fresh fish -seemingly right off the boat - homemade picante sauce. Every bite was bursting with homemade deliciousness!! This place also offers refreshing Dole Whip floats. My husband had a coconut option and I tried the passion fruit. So good! A must stop for any west side Big Island visit.

Little stuffy inside; small restaurant. Food was goods. They add an automatic 15% service charge when you have to wait in line to order your food and then a runner brings it out & you have to fill your own drink! As a business wonder - 15% for what?? What exactly did yo I do for the 15% you charged! Nothing you should be paying your staff appreciate wage and adjusting your prices accordingly

Brioche buns are very yummy! 15% service charge on all orders, so price tag stacks pretty fast. Onion rings were that nice, thick breading (the best kind). Overall, great quality and workers treated us like family. Dole whip was scrumptious, but a little smaller than I was hoping for…. Doesn’t seat very many people, but had a great ocean diner vibe

Yummy ahi and chips in a homemade beer batter with homemade Mac salad. Overall it was a nice quick stop and great for a bite to eat. Friendly staff with quirky decor.
