We came here on a normal Saturday wanting a nice lunch in the village. The ambiance was nice enough; flowers, lush greenery, a good outdoor seating patio and limited indoor space. The lady at the reception was lovely and got us seated comfortably, but the service after that was abysmal. We waited what must have been 15 minutes for water, and after ordering, our food took 55 minutes to arrive. We had to get up several times and request that it come a bit faster because our young child was getting agitated. We ordered chicken tenders and fries off of the kids menu, the Poke bowl, Furikake chicken bowl, and fish tacos. The kids meal was decent, the Poke bowl was on the smaller end but tasted good, and the fish tacos were tasty but definitely not worth the $28 price tag. Our main issue was with the Furikake chicken. How do I describe this? It can best be described as fried chicken skin with very little meat, all of this skin being drenched in this awful sweet sauce. I do not know if this is how the dish is traditionally prepared, but taste-wise it was inedible. The wait time combined with the value you really don’t get for your money made this place nothing special.

Great spot in Waikoloa! The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and very welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place to come back to when visiting Hawaii.

Breakfast was absolutely top-tier and among the best I’ve ever had.
Probably the only complaint was the automatic gratuity for 6 adults and a child. Allow me to tip on my own… otherwise on point!

Stopped by A-Bay’s for breakfast and it was a solid meal. Honestly a great value compared to what you’d pay for something similar at the nearby hotels. Nothing overly fancy, just good breakfast food that hit the spot. Service was a little slow, but it looked like they only had one server working the patio. She was super friendly though and clearly trying to keep up with multiple tables. Overall a good casual breakfast spot and definitely worth it if you want a decent meal without paying resort prices.

Big tvs in the restaurant..there is bar seating and tables as well as outside seating. Large bay windows that open. Burger was tasty. Fries were a little over cooked. But Brian my waiter was awesome

Amazing food and rad servers!
We came for lunch on a Friday at noon, and there were already a good number of people enjoying lunch in their patio. We grabbed a patio table and ordered their pineapple wheat beer and Belgian ale. Both are made on-island and paired perfectly with the hot day and delicious fish tacos we ordered.
Their fish tacos and ahi poke bowl with salad were well-portioned and fresh. You can tell extra care is put into making the tacos, even their tortillas are house made! We also ordered a side of fries, because everything is better with fries.
Our server was friendly, kept our water filled and gave me taster pours of two different beers to help me decide which to enjoy. Would definitely recommend eating here after shopping at the kings marketplace!

We had dinner at A-Bay Island Grill, a restaurant located inside Kings’ Shops at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. We ordered #7 Longboard ($5), #13 Overboard IPA ($5), #17 Kua Bay ($3), A-Bay’s Mai Tai ($10), Caesar Salad ($14), Korean Mix Plate ($32), and Loco Moco ($22+ extra gravy $2).
The location is popular with tourists and had a decent atmosphere. Despite the crowd, the outdoor seating area had plenty of space between tables, allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling cramped. The Caesar salad was tasty, but the Korean meat on the mixed plate lacked depth in flavor. The Loco Moco was just okay — not bad, but nothing to rave about either.
While the menu wasn’t particularly extensive, we happened to be there right at the transition between lunch and dinner, during happy hour, so we had a good range of options. One downside was that our outdoor table was near a walkway where someone passed by smoking, and the smell occasionally drifted over.
Although nothing about the food or ambiance stood out as exceptional, A-Bay Island Grill still provided a laid-back setting for a pleasant evening meal. ✨

This is one of the popular spots in the area because it’s one of the only restaurants in the area. The poke was absolutely delicious but I felt that it needs two more wonton chips! The chips were perfect with the poke but just not enough. The shrimp egg rolls were crazy good!! Highly recommend those! The mustard sauce could be removed from the plate and I wouldn’t be mad though. Didn’t pair well with the rolls in my opinion but to each their own.
The Korean bbq mixed plate was decent. The fried Korean chicken it came with was TERRIBLE!!!! It was fried skin basically but was supposedly chicken thigh. There was no thigh to be found. It was just a sodium packed fried piece of skin. The beef alongside it was good though.
The desserts were both super rich and mouth watering leaving me wanting more!! The cheesecake had a nice thick crumbly crust and the sauce was paired very well with it. Lots of flavor! The lava cake and ice cream were similar to any lava cake at most restaurants but good nonetheless.

Had a pretty disappointing experience at Abays. We came here based on a recommendation, but it turned out to be a bad decision. We ordered two plates of pancakes, and this is how they arrived. The menu clearly states they come with caramelized banana and macadamia nut toppings, but ours had none of that.
On top of that, the staff were neither friendly nor helpful. Overall, nothing about our visit made us want to return. I would not recommend this place.

Was looking for a quality breakfast where loco Moco was served and we found a great spot with A-Bays Island Grill. There aren’t many restaurants serving breakfast in this area so we were glad to find this restaurant.
