I should have trusted the bad reviews. The place had 2 other customers inside.$12.50 for the “buffet ” cold sausage, cold pancakes, cold hard biscuits. I think it was bacon but it tasted like old pork grease and was cold and tough. The gravy was OK and they have a small amount of fresh melon and pineapple. Avoid this place. I hope I don’t get sick later today.

2023: this is one of the places you can eat if you are staying at the Kilauea military camp lodge inside Volcanos National Park Hawaii. You order from the lady at the register. They serve breakfast and dinner and are closed in between. When your meal is ready they will call your number. Drinks, ice cream, salads are included. The meal was pretty good for comfort food. I had the roast pork wish mashed potatoes, gravy and side of veggies. It is served in paper containers. This dining room is pretty run down with zero esthetics. But it was priced at a good value.

Do not waste your time with breakfast. The steep price is definitely not worth what you get. The eggs were stone cold, as well as the pancakes. Pretty sure there were no health codes being followed with the food temps. Definitely worth the drive into Hilo for a better breakfast. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

I think there was a change in staff and cooks because we would frequent this place quite often. We just went back this past Saturday and the prime rib was so so tiny compared to the previous times, a tiny scoop of instant mash and frozen vegetables. Definitely not worth the $28 dollars.

Breakfast buffet is sad. Everything except the gravy for biscuits and gravy was cold. Though if you’re calorie loading before a big day of hiking and aren’t picky about things like basic food safety, you’re gonna be satisfied with your $12.50 (at time of posting) here.

Decent food and service. They don’t have a lot of options for people with allergies and dietary issues though. This place have a school cafeteria vibe.

Restaurant had the most breathe taking view of the Kilauea crater. Long wait to be seated for breakfast and for food to be served. Friendly service.

We were so excited for prime rib! Then after paying $28, I was allowed one slice! The sides were instant mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. Meat was great, but there us NO WAY this was worth $28.
