Good food, great atmosphere! Fish tacos were awesome! I would come here any day! Being next to the ocean was very nice too.

This is a great choice for Kona. Budget friendly happy hour with food options being typical like sliders, tacos, nachos. The $4 mai-tai's are a steal, especially considering the oceanfront view. Every night there is live music and entertainment and the staff is very accommodating.

They always had live music and hula dancers. You are in the sand at your table and it all overlooks the ocean. Great place. We were there every night we were in Kona.

The location, right on the beach is awesome! The beer is typically over-priced like most places in Kona. When busy the service can be pretty slow - but the beach bar experience is worth it. Huggos on the Rocks is a place not to be missed when visiting the Big Island.

What a fun place for live music and drinks in an open air environment with an ocean view. Friendly staff and more. Just a tad crowded... standing room only.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a late lunch at Huggo's. He had the pork nachos and I had a mahi mahi salad. Both were delicious and good sized. Drinks were tasty and made freshly. The view was awesome, right on ocean. It's an open air restaurant and part of the floor is even sand. Angie was our server and... More

We had breakfast - fair very simple food for breakfast. We also had lunch - burgers were great and the tacos were also very good. You sat in chairs with sand under your feel right on the water, great Hawaiian feel with sand and the ocean right in front of you.
