Restaurants

Are there any good economical restaurants in the area with entrees less than $20? We are not interested in pizzas and hamburgers but something with a local touch. Thanks.

It%26#39;s not local food, but Bianelli%26#39;s Pizza is great! It is not just pizza, but an Italian restaurant and very good.

I am amazed at those who want to eat pzza n hawaii....why.. it aint a local food.... and Can understand your desire 200%

We took Hawaiidan%26#39;s advice and went to the Big Island Grill. So glad we did - HUGE portions, tasty food and it was extremely cheap. It was full of local families when we went in September - I think we were the only tourists in there!

Thanks for the responses. We will be there from 1/22 - 1/29. Please keep the suggestions coming!

By the way, how about some oriental restaurants such as Japanese, Chinese and Tai?

Royal Thai and Kenichi.. and Daras.. all in Keauhou... there are tons of these.... I am pickey..... many are cheap. Sam Choys closes so did Oceanwiew

Thank you. We are pickey too. That%26#39;s why I like to hear from others, especially a local expert. Don%26#39;t want to just wander into tourist traps.

I like the Hawaiian Grill. It%26#39;s inexpensive, with a million dollar view. It%26#39;s in an older building across the waterfront street from the harbor, within a stone%26#39;s throw of the Hawaiian Royal Palace museum. You can watch the kids swimming while dining near a window, and if it is late enough, you can watch the sun set over the ocean. It%26#39;s a no frills place, but as a previous comment observes, portions are big, the majority of clientele are locals, and the food is good!

Oh...and there is no objection to your casual attire, as long as you have slippers on your feet and modest shorts on your bottom and a shirt on your back. If you like, both men and women, you can wrap a Tahitian pareu around your waist if you are in swim wear. I am sure no one will object to women wearing their swimwear bra tops. At least, whenever I%26#39;ve been there, they haven%26#39;t. Heh, heh.
