This place has a killer Pastrami on Rye and AMAZING pizza. The crust was perfect and the red sauce was so flavorful! The building has a quaint old historic vibe and they have TVs for sports viewing.

My wife and I and our adult sons and their girlfriends went here today. The service was awesome, the food was excellent, and the building was cool. If you haven’t been to Honoka’a, visit this town as it is the way Hawaii was. Back to the review-get the pastrami on rye, it was the best that I have ever had!! My wife had the chili which was a huge bowl and the pizza slices were huge! Sorry, didn’t take any photos. My son’s girlfriend was able to get a vegetarian Philly cheese steak and loved it. They also had a great selection of beer!

I was on a deadly serious mission to try this Pub’s signature pastrami sandwich. Let me preface this review by saying that I’m from New York, so I KNOW pastrami! I’m gonna cut straight to the chase, sandwich broke da mouth 100%! I’ve honestly never had a pastrami on rye that even came close to being as good. Everything about it was perfect, but it was the way the beef was seasoned and cooked that really set it apart. It had the texture of a slow cooked pot roast that was thinly sliced and piled high. It was incredibly satisfying to the mouth with every bite.
And the pub was so cute and had such a welcoming vibe! I’d never been there before and was alone, but as soon as I sat myself down at the bar, Maile greeted me and we developed an instant rapport. She was an absolute doll and we had so much fun talking story and sharing laughs. I can’t wait to return with my friends and family. I had such an amazing and memorable experience! A five star rating just isn’t high enough!

It’s amazing how one wrong thing changes your entire perspective of a place. For me it was my burnt tater tots that can be seen in my photo. The supreme pizza was delicious, as was the pastrami dog. The cheesy bread was outstanding! But burnt tater tots are what I’m going to remember most and is why Honokaa Public House won’t be my first choice for a place to eat in the future.

Great live music!
Great people to chat and socialize with.
The owner/ manager was kinda of weird, seemed really stressed/ aggressive in his body language and tone of voice for no reason. Maybe a bad night?
Thought it was silly to get carded for sitting at the bar, to drink water, and I am pretty elderly ( i was the DD). Weird he only asked me for my ID since my friend was never carded at all. Food was nothing special. Good. But not something id recommend you go out of way to try. Just standard bar food.
Nothing wrong with quality, just meh

This place was amazing to us. We hadn’t planned on stopping but our baby got upset and needed to get out of the car. They were the nicest people, sweet to our ornery kids (our toddler was also upset), brought us olives for our picky toddler, were fine with her dancing, brought us water to make a bottle, and were genuinely some of the nicest people we have met. Even the other customers were kind. If I were from the area, I would definitely be a regular. Also, the pizza was delicious, affordable, and giant.thank you for being such a wonderful surprise stop and being so welcoming to our family.

Food was so delicious! We tried Philly cheese steak sandwich and pizza.
I loved that I had an option to pick my toppings. I ordered one slice it was more like a half of a whole pizza
Again, service could have been better but for some reason the guy who was there was not very friendly!

Nice little bar and restaurant in a quaint town with lots of neat history. Friendly staff and a great Pastrami sandwich! And dragonfruit cider :-). Really good tater tots too – very crispy.

I didn’t know what I was getting into. I was just driving around with my family exploring, and we got hungry. This place is just wonderful! It reminds me of little hole in the wall places back home with food that blows the mind. I had the much mentioned pastrami on rye. It was the best sandwich I ever had. The best, hands down, 6 years on this earth living all over the United States, and this sandwich was perfect. I was lucky to eat at the Carnegie Deli (before they closed) and Katz delicatessen visiting NYC as a young man. Prior to this, they were tied for number 1, they are now number 2. This we wonderful little restaurant had meat that was so flavorful, moist, perfect seasoning, bread not overpowering, but adding to the sandwich. The sauerkraut and horseradish were also compliments adding to not overtaking or the likes. Dressing was also just enough. The combination as stated was perfect. I was planning on taking half home for later…didn’t happen! Couldn’t stop eating it all right there. Oh and not to make this secondary but the staff were friendly as could be. As a sidenote I had an Arnold Palmer and that too was wonderful. Somehow this lovely little place finds great products, add-ons, etc that others can’t. Just amazing!!

Last place open in town on a Wednesday night at 6:30 PM. So glad we found this local place. We had pizza/beer and listen to local sing karaoke. Service is great, and you can taste the mozzarella on the pizza.
