🌺🍍 Where to Eat on Hawaii’s Big Island 🍤🌴

One of the BEST parts of visiting the Big Island?
The FOOD. 😍

From local hole-in-the-wall spots to oceanfront dining, here are some must-try places:

🍽️ Tex Drive-In (Honokaa)
Famous for their malasadas (Portuguese donuts). Go early — they sell out!

🍣 Umekes (Kona)
Fresh poke bowls & local Hawaiian flavors. Casual and SO good.

🌊 Huggo’s (Kailua-Kona)
Oceanfront dining with sunset views — perfect for anniversary dinners.

🥩 Merriman’s (Waimea)
Farm-to-table fine dining featuring local Big Island ingredients.

🍔 Black Rock Café (Pahoa)
Local favorite — laid-back vibe with amazing comfort food.

🌮 Da Poke Shack (Kona)
Some of the best poke on the island. Simple. Authentic. Delicious.

🍍 Pro Tip: Try loco moco, shave ice, fresh poke, and Kona coffee while you’re there!
