We were recently in Hawi to go ziplining (Kohala Ziplining -- Also magnificant!). We wanted to grab some lunch before our zipling adventure, and just randomly picked this place. SO GLAD we did! It's a small place, but very clean. We chose to eat outside since it was such a beautiful day. My husband and I split a Rueben. It... More

We initially had plans to eat at a different lunch spot down the street, but were told we have to try the Lighthouse Delicatessen. We were not disappointed. We had three items: built my own sandwich, caprese salad sandwich and the brown sugar pretzel. My wife swears the tomatoes were the best she has ever had and the pretzel with... More

Husband and I live in Kona and we always make it a point to hit the Lighthouse Deli when we are up in the Hawi area. We discovered it about a year ago and can't stop ourselves from returning. Though they no longer serve their house made hummus (which we LOVED), we usually will share the caprese salad, a sandwich,... More

If you want an incredible sandwich please visit the Lighthouse Cafe and try one The Cuban is unreal. Also, they make the best twist pretzels ever. Not like the cardboard ones from a mall, but wheat-based homemade with a honey mustard dipping sauce. You must wait a few minutes becasue the pretzel when served is too hot to eat. When... More

The food was great and the homemade pretzels were melt in your mouth delicious. The sandwichs were huge with homemade bread. One of the best meals on the island. More

Food was amazing. My husband got a reuben and I made my own ham/cheese. My husband said it was the best Reuben he's ever had. The place isn't fancy, but the food is amazing and the service was friendly. 100% recommended. More

We were sent here from our guide at Kohala zipline (another A++ place) He told us that the meatball hero was his favorite - he did not disappoint! The sandwich was AMAZING! My boyfriend and I both had one and my son had a pretzel (also delicious!) The food was so good, we ordered another sandwich to go! The service... More

Tried the meatballs, pretzels and pizza. All good! The draughts beers are very cold. The Ginger non alcoholic beer is also delicious. Many gourmet deli foods for takeout. Good prices on olive oil in bulk. More
