Mark MillsMay 29, 2013Impressive place and can't wait to return. Huggo's and On The Rocks sit next to each other and give guests a lovely beach view for dining while being served by a friendly staff. Try OTR Happy Hour!
Dave GoldenSeptember 6, 2011Excellent service, food is awesome, great atmosphere - we assumed it would be a ra-ra college drinking bar but it is upscale and the food is perfect. Watched the sunset with half off pupu's at 5:30.Upvoted Aug 20
andrea maukNovember 13, 2015First come first serve seating! The reservations are for Hugo formal dinning next door! Get there early, put your toes in the sand and enjoy the sunset!
eric bornemannApril 24, 2023The place for sunset. Put your name in for waterside early and take a walk, it’s worth it. Casual and fun, the furikake catch is good along with cocktails and the Mauna Kea ice cream pie is obscene.
Big Bam Mai Tai and then enjoy the live music and, of course, the ocean view. Food is tasty and reasonably priced. Yummy burgers.
Debbie ShapiroMarch 26, 2015The baby greens salad was amazing! Mango, hearts of palm, onion and avocado with creamy lime vinaigrette. Delicious! Island Johnny was our server. Nice man! :-)- Tim BryanMarch 12, 2013The sliders during happy hour have an amazing flavor profile! Get them with an IPA. (Pic is from the corner beach table)
MariLou HarvelandFebruary 12, 2018We sat at the bar because of the 1.5 hour wait. That & the incredibly slow service is our only complaint. Otherwise, the wait staff was friendly, food tasty, atmosphere festive, & the view supurb.
Robert LePageApril 9, 2018Great service, quality entertainment and you can hear yourself think and talk to people at your table. Fantastic location!
Rachael EvansJune 7, 2016Amazing guava pulled pork!!! But the seating was terrible to wait for, Lots of people enjoying the music and sitting around drinking makes for a long wait.
Margaret KearnsFebruary 2, 2012Nothing else comes close to this waterfront haunt in Kailua-Kona...check it out on Sunday when LT Smooth is playing. Great music, sunsets, cocktails and onolicious food!
Becki BoorSeptember 12, 2021Best place to see sunset. Queso with some stale nacho chips tho and 2 drinks. 2 guys playing live made things fun.
JacksonJune 27, 2013Menu is diverse, even for the picky eater. Sit at a table with your feet in the sand and enjoy dinner, a live band, and ocean views.- andrea maukNovember 13, 2015Fresh fish tacos, fried rice bowl, guava lava flow, guava margarita and local draft beer!
Hilton Grand VacationsOctober 31, 2012Amazing place to catch a sunset and fantastic live entertainment. Food is pretty good too :)
KristianDecember 7, 2016Make sure you're proper hungry before ordering any of the omelettes. I prefer the FBI. Kona espresso blend is very, very good.
DaniMarch 29, 2015Toes in the sand, lively music on weekend eves. Service can be rather slow and impersonal. Drinks and food better elsewhere, but you can't beat the location!
Gurdeep JohalJuly 14, 2011Decent food but you pay a premium price for the Oceanside view. Come stake out a table along the oceanfront area as it gets busy here fast. Live music after 8pm daily. Drink prices go up after 8.
Akshay JawharkarDecember 25, 2014Best sunset on the big island. Come early, get a seat on the sand and just kick back.- AlisonNovember 12, 2012Fantastic band on Sunday nights. Get here early to hear the whole set! They play til 9
Erin PerryMarch 1, 2014Best happy hour in town, great view, good entertainment and yummy shrimp tacos and poke.
Mirko PintarSeptember 30, 2014Atmosphere, seating next to the water, having coctails and enjoying sun set.
Haylee McWilliamsMarch 11, 2012Great spot overlooking the beach. Good live music, good drinks, great atmosphere. Definitely would stop by here!
Kay MortApril 20, 2015Open air, watch the sunset, Sit by the Ocean! Have an Ace Pineapple Hard Cider!
Damian BayonaFebruary 17, 2017Live music, ocean vibes and cold drinks. Food is decent but it's more about the ambience.
Zachary RouseJuly 3, 2010Huggos "on the rocks" is a little bar literally on the beach NEXTDOOR to Huggos.. It's a mini cafe beach version of the main restaurant. And they claim no cell phones allowed, but in using one now =)
Deivis ValentaFebruary 19, 2023If you would like to watch a sunset, then this definitely the spot, but if you would like to have a decent meal then look somewhere else.
Tyler StrattonApril 1, 2010Try the amazing $3 Happy Hour! It's on daily from 3-6PM with $3 Spicy Mahimahi Fish Tacos, Nachos & Sliders! $3 Wells, House Wines & Select Drafts! Can't beat the best place to Pau Hana in Kona! Read more
Excellent sunset location, plus a great staff and awesome bar...
Mabel L.December 16, 2011Nice relaxing spot to eat breakfast by the ocean. The bagel with smoked salmon is very good.
Absolute great time, great music, food and drinks! If you're in Kona you must hit Huggo's!
Janelle E KMarch 25, 2012Awesome live bands, fun atmosphere with dancing, and a great view for sunsets
- My favorite spot to fantasize about my Hawaiian retirement. And the coffee is pretty good, too.
