Huggo's
A family-run seaside restaurant founded in 1969, with a deck built over the rocks. A classic spot for sunset in Kona.
A family restaurant that has operated on the Kona coast since 1969. Its deck sits almost directly above the lava rocks, with views over all of Kailua Bay. Gayot names it one of the best places in Kona to catch the green flash at sunset, and live music is often featured in the evenings. The signature dish is teriyaki steak. Macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi, pan-seared ahi tuna, the fresh catch of the day, and poke stacks are also popular, and the mud pie is the recommended dessert. Prices are high for Kona, and food and service can be slow during busy periods. Next door is the more casual sister restaurant, Huggo's On The Rocks, about a 10-minute walk from the old town pier.
