Impressive 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!

Excellent 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.

First 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!

The 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.

The baby greens salad was amazing! Mango, hearts of palm, onion and avocado with creamy lime vinaigrette. Delicious! Island Johnny was our server. Nice man! :-)

The sliders during happy hour have an amazing flavor profile! Get them with an IPA. (Pic is from the corner beach table)

Sunset mai tai and great grilled fish. The hamakua mushrooms are amazing!
MariLou HarvelandFebruary 12, 2018
We 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.

Great service, quality entertainment and you can hear yourself think and talk to people at your table. Fantastic location!

Amazing 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.

Nothing 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, 2021
Best place to see sunset. Queso with some stale nacho chips tho and 2 drinks. 2 guys playing live made things fun.
JacksonJune 27, 2013
Menu 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, 2015
Fresh fish tacos, fried rice bowl, guava lava flow, guava margarita and local draft beer!

Amazing place to catch a sunset and fantastic live entertainment. Food is pretty good too :)
KristianDecember 7, 2016
Make sure you're proper hungry before ordering any of the omelettes. I prefer the FBI. Kona espresso blend is very, very good.
DaniMarch 29, 2015
Toes 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, 2011
Decent 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, 2014
Best sunset on the big island. Come early, get a seat on the sand and just kick back.
AlisonNovember 12, 2012
Fantastic band on Sunday nights. Get here early to hear the whole set! They play til 9

Fun spot with live tunes right on the water. Grab a table down on the sand!

Great view! Special with local fish was awesome
K darDecember 31, 2015
The bartenders make great mixed drinks. All fish options are great
Damian BayonaFebruary 17, 2017
Live music, ocean vibes and cold drinks. Food is decent but it's more about the ambience.
Zachary RouseJuly 3, 2010
Huggos "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 =)
Brian DuncanFebruary 8, 2015
Feet in sand while you eat? Yes. Food is ok but view is top notch.
Deivis ValentaFebruary 19, 2023
If 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.
Thomas MasottaMay 1, 2015
Live music on the water at night, get a seat at a table in the sand
Tyler StrattonApril 1, 2010

The ambience is wonderful. Scenic view and a live band.
Justin YoungDecember 29, 2014
Great spot. Great food. But the live "music" is a real deterrent.
