Kanaka Kava

Went here and tried Kava for the first time.

Gotta say, the taste is pretty bad, but it is also a bit relaxing. Definitely 1 coconut cup makes you feel the effects.

We also got a pulled pork dish, which I actually thought tasted great (which came with a side of purple sweet potatoes, which were also great).

On the Rocks

Went to this outside bar for the food primarily, and then for the food.

For food, got the spicy poke on nachos. The nachos was a wonton based chip, and I thought it was a really good combo. However, the chips are a bit greasy, so didn’t finish the whole things. For drinks, got a mai tai, which I thought was good too.

Update: on 11/27/2020, went to this place again for lunch (as most places are closed for the Thanksgiving). Ordered the mai tai and lava flow. Both great drinks that got me really buzzed after drinking both. I also ordered the pulled pork nachos, which I would say are ok, but not the best.

Island Lava Java

This place is right in the heart of town in Holualoa, with a really great view.

I got the Mai Tai for a drink (which is pretty good after you stir the drink since it is layered).

For the main course, I had a very Hawaiian omelet, which was a pulled pork omelet with sausage and potatoes. It was really good (I finished most of it).

Tank House

We ended up going to this place for dinner on our way to Reno (for burning man).

Gotta day, this place was pretty terrible. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was extremely salty. Also, the old fashion was meh.

So, not going back here again.
