Papa Kona Restaurant & Bar - Restaurant in Kailua-Kona - The Waterfront Row, 75-5770 Ali‘i Dr 1st Floor, USA

Another top notch restaurant right on the water overlooking the ocean and sunsets. Kate was a very new waitress, but did quite well trying to answer all our questions. I went with the pork chop with gravy, mushrooms and a side of white rice. It was scrumptious. I highly recommend. The five of us all enjoyed our experience.

Food is excellent. Drinks are made well. Service was fantastic, thank you bartender Tomi, our experience was awesome because you are awesome! Beautiful views everywhere you look, it's either the ocean or the wood and glass design of the restaurant. Upstairs is another area that can be reserved for events, meetings, and private parties. The patios are large spacious and overlook the ocean. Happy hour is available at the bar only. Regular menu prices are moderate, many dishes are under $20. Sometimes they have live music too. I highly recommend checking it out.

You need a reservation if you want a decent table to see the ocean. Food is solid, but pricey. The fish tacos were $28 (14 per taco) and let me tell ya, they weren’t worth $14 a pop. I’d stick with the pork tacos. Drinks were solid and tasty. The service was a little lacking - it took us almost 20 minutes to get seen by a server. They don’t validate the parking below them.

Stopped in to have breakfast the morning after Ironman and was amazed at how fast our food arrived. Good thing as we were hungry! Also cannot beat the absolutely gorgeous views of the ocean. Great food and definitely recommend stopping in.

We (wife and I) really enjoyed everything about this place. The service was terrific offering both menus as they were just about to switch from brunch to dinner. I had the guava BBQ burger which was outstanding! The sweet tangy sauce was awesome. Pancakes also 👍. We were able to sit at the railing overlooking the ocean. Prices were comparable to anywhere else.$15-20 for a burger. Would definitely go back

The drink in a Pineapple is what initially made me want to go here! This was our first Brunch spot during our trip & I have to say it was fantastic. We arrived for when they opened, I did book a reservation but we didn’t even need it! The staff were great, food & drinks were amazing, and the view on the deck was GREAT! This is a great Brunch spot for your visit in Kona

Look at the pic and the view I had for breakfast it’s amazing. Incredibly enough the service rivaled the view. The food was great French toast is amazing. Price for Hawaii was also very reasonable. Great breakfast spot by the ocean with awesome people.

Sitting out on the back deck is clearly the best experience at this restaurant. The view is magical. Our entire group of 10 loved the Fried Avocado. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the hamburgers were a hit. Everyone who got fish agreed that it was a little well done.
