Fresh breeze! Spectacular view of the mountains and ocean!! Perfect spot to sit down, eat some fresh food and relax after hiking.
Their produce is most affordable than anywhere else and tastes good. Let’s support local growers and families.
It was a perfect stop after hiking in the valley. I hiked four times in that Valley hike. I was super hungry by the end of it and perfect time to stop for a lunch break. I simply enjoyed it. Thank you everyone for supporting this local business.

You couldn’t ask for a better setting. This is effectively a food truck with a little more infrastructure around it. It’s right next to a historic valley hiking trail (2-3 minute drive away) – which is also worth a visit. This place itself has great views of the ocean and farm / ranch land.
Food is simple but good. I’d recommend the pork plate over the chicken plate. We didn’t try the poke – but others really seemed to enjoy it.
Staff couldn’t be friendlier. Would definitely come again!

What a place, beautiful views, delicious food and the best service. We had a work meeting so we stayed there for a couple of hours and they were wonderful. It’s a family owned and operated business, my only disappointment was that they had ran out of pineapples because we were there late in the day. Worth the drive.

This place is an experience in itself. It’s a food truck that has outdoor seating overlooking the ocean, can’t get much better than that. We were there on a Sunday afternoon so it was fairly busy and they had a live music.
If you get one item definitely get the pork nachos. They were excellent. The chicken plate was also tasty, the chicken was flavorful and juicy. The basil lemonade was very refreshing.
I would also recommend giving the chocolate ice cream a try. I think it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
Overall I would absolutely recommend this place if you are in this area. When we come back to the Big Island this will definitely be a place we would drive out of our way for to come to again.

Really tasty and fresh food. Prices are really affordable. We are vegetarians so we picked the only lunch option that we saw – Vegan Poke Bowl. It was great. We also ordered “Da Boss” smoothie. It was freshly made and delicious (mango, pineapple, coconut milk).

The food is so fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is spectacular. This is also the nearest opportunity to get food/drinks and use the restroom (port-a-potty) to the Polulu Trail. I can highly recommend the vegetarian poke nachos & a juice/hibiscus tea blend, and sitting to enjoy the natural beauty of the place.

This is the perfect spot after hiking the Poloū Historic Trail. The shaved ice is decent (not the best on the island) but the price is excellent. Also there is an incredible view of the ocean, greenery all around, and horses that you can pet. Restrooms as well as there are no restrooms at the lookout trail. I didn’t order any food but it looked good from seeing others order.

STOP HERE! A beautiful fruit stand/food truck with gorgeous fruit trees just a stones throw away that you can see on the property. The tangerines are sour and sweet and delicious (only 4 for$1). Perfect slice of soft and moist banana bread. The ahi poke nachos were fresh and delicious (compliments chef!). I ordered a limeade… just right and not too sweet. There is plenty of seating, so you can take in the views and see their animals (donkeys,cows and caught a glimpse of a wild pig across the road). So glad a good friend recommended it to me.

Soak in the beautiful view, with horses and mules on a hill, while you sip on a smoothie or eat a poke bowl. Perfect little stop after Pololu valley hike. I love this place!
