Now this is a really great restaurant to feel at home in and the food is really great and it's not all that expensive. I have gone there many times and the Crab cakes are to die for, the fish and chips are fantastic and their hamburgers are also delicious. The atmosphere is of the sports bar and "all" the... more

We stopped here for lunch and don't plan on going back. The place wasn't very busy as it was around 2 in the afternoon. We ordered the fish and chips and thankfully we thought to split the one order. The fish and chips were really greasy. The fryer must not have been warm enough as everything was soggy with grease.... more

This place is a fooler. Looks like (and is) an old drug store turned into a bar and restaurant. Wide open, clean, not fancy. Typical pub menu with a surprisingly good selection of draft beer. The food we had, including a steak, were all very good, tasty, and well prepared. Not expensive. Top flight service. This part of the downtown... more

Locally we have 3 Cronies near our home and was surprised to see one in Hawaii so naturally we went to check it out. It's a typical sports bar with big screen tvs and sports memorabiiia. Food is typical bar fare, burgers, sandwiches, hot wings, etc. Prices are reasonable and service was excellent. Onion rings were pretty greasy and the... more

First, our waitress came back with a drink we didn't order, honest mistake. She was pleasant and returned with an absolutely tasteless margarita, no apparent alcohol. $8. No prices on the menu. Our other drink was weak, so so, $8. The reason I give them "Okay" rating is that our burgers were pretty good, the environment was calm and friendly.... more

My wife and I and two friends recently stayed in Hilo for 3 nights. As we stayed on the northern end of town, this was basically the first place we came to when walking into town. What a great little pub/cafe. The staff worked very hard and they always made you feel welcome. The place is very roomy with tall... more

While my wife and I didn't have any problems here, and weren't expecting all that much to begin with, the food was pretty unimpressive. We stuck with simple bar and grill fare - she had the teriyaki burger and I had the fish sandwich. The fries seemed like they came straight out of the Costco frozen foods section, and the... more
