We stopped into Tropics Restaurant in Kona for an early dinner and it was fantastic! I had their special — a 6 oz ribeye with veggies (I swapped mine for fries) — and everything was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was generous, and the staff was prompt and friendly. I think we may have ordered off the lunch menu since we came in early, but it didn’t matter — everything was great. We’ll definitely be back! Hubby had the fish and chips!

I cannot say enough good things about this place, the service, and the food! My fiancé and I have came to this place every night since we found it.. drinks are 11/10, the service is amazing— special shoutout to Aaron! Someone give that man a raise! The food is incredible. Our family and us will forever be repeating customers!

Burgers, fries, bulgogi beef and kalua pork were very good. Drinks were good but not great. Come as you are, friendly sports bar. Easy parking.

Tropics Restaurant & Taphouse is a great spot for a quick, satisfying bite. They have some of the best poke nachos around and really solid hamburgers. The beer selection is another win, with quite a few options on tap.
It’s super convenient—close to the condo—so it’s an easy choice when you want something good without going far. As a sports bar, they usually have a good game on, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere.
Perfect place to stop for food, drinks, and catching a game.

Happy hour 2pm-5pm! Great menu with steak options. Didn’t grab a photo of the volcanic fries they were too bomb to not devour right away. Service was very aloha. Beautiful ocean view or you can watch 1 of the many tvs that offer the sports games. Kid friendly with mocktail options. I’m surprised that there are so many reviews that state the food is flavorless! The food was very satisfying, totally recommend. Just a walk away from the Kona coast resort

Great burgers and kind staff. The only thing I didn’t like was that when we asked if we could switch out french fries to instead have caesar’s salad, we weren’t told that doing the switch would have an extra $5 charge for each (and also didn’t mention an extra charge for extra dressing – which I’ve never seen at any restaurant). So the total bill of $85 for 2 burgers was a lot.

We waited several minutes to be greeted. Menus came in waves. Water took forever. Food arrived before utensils and when utensils did arrive we were left one set short. We were done eating long before anyone came to check on us and we never received refills on beverages.
If you want to try the food, I suggest ordering to go.

Delicious house salad with chicken added.
1/12/26: still good, and Hawaii residents can get a Kama’aina discount if they ask.

I went for happy hour for drinks and tapas. Great service and friendly staff, but ok food and drinks. Skip the cocktails and go for beer or wine instead since there is no taste of liquor in the mixed drinks. The Margarita and Mai Tai didn’t have any liquor taste in them. The Tapas menu was a nice variety with good presentation.
