I love finding good, local sandwich spots on my travels and place did not disappoint. The Pop, Lock, and Drop It sounded pretty unique so I thought I’d give it a try. It was SO good!!! The flavor was incredible and the sandwich was loaded. I especially loved the pickled garlic on there – incredible! My only suggestion would be to eat it fairly quickly as the type of bread it’s on gets a little soggy. 10/10! I’ll be dreaming of this sandwich!

This is an awesome little sandwich shop located to the back of the shopping center. The bread is all from a local baker and super good. I had the Rueben with amazing pastrami. I also got some spicy Italian sausage to make for dinner – they have a lot of butcher shop options available. See their website for more details. I will be coming back here soon!

Great place to have a sandwich. I’ve eaten here 3 times now and have had nothing short of a super experience. Easy talking owners, laid back and friendly. Don’t sell yourself short and go to the safe sub shop . Get out and experience something different while you’re in Kona. Not the cheapest but well worth the cost! And they carry all sorts of meat.

This isn’t just a deli! There is a chef who knows how to make high quality great CLEAN food! I’m gluten free and they made me the most delicious salad topped with their chicken salad and pesto! It was to LIVE for! My husband said his sandwich was the
best he’s ever had!
RUN don’t walk to have a high quality delicious, healthy lunch!
Also their cheese cakes are comparable to none!
Thank you RC Kona for hold a high food standard here in Kona! It’s rare here!

A Hidden Gem for Deli Lovers!
Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and has that perfect neighborhood deli charm.
The sandwiches are made with incredibly fresh ingredients — you can really taste the difference. The deli meats are top quality, the bread is perfectly soft with just the right crust, and the toppings are always crisp and flavorful. You can tell they care about what they serve.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a go-to spot for fresh, delicious deli sandwiches in a great setting. I’ll definitely be back!

This review is long overdue–we’ve been loyal customers for years! RC Kona is, without question, home to the best sandwiches on the Big Island. It’s our go-to stop whenever we’re in town, whether we’re craving a killer sandwich or stocking up on top-quality meats for the grill.
The owners are absolutely wonderful–warm, welcoming, and always ready with spot-on recommendations tailored to your taste. Everything here is made in-house and locally-sourced, from their sausages and burgers to the flavorful marinades, and the quality shines through in every bite.
If you prefer to keep it classic, do not miss the bone-in ribeyes–they’re consistently outstanding. And if you’re lucky enough to spot the L’ingegnera special sandwich on the menu before it sells out, do yourself a favor and order it. It’s life-changing.

The best deli sandwich on the Big Island!
Absolutely delicious and huge! This spot is my must-stop before heading to the beach. The service is always great, and while you’ll pay way more than a Subway sandwich, there’s truly no comparison, the quality and flavor are on another level. In the photo: the Pastrami on rye with the works, Roquefort cheese, and candied jalapeños (a must-add!). We tried several sandwiches, but I only remembered to snap a picture when I had the massive Turkey Havarti, also incredible!

Super recommended for anyone craving a real, satisfying sandwich.

Awesome little sandwich and butcher’s shop. Very friendly owners who were super great and accommodating! My daughter had a fantastic sandwich here for a vegetarian and my wife grabbed an Italian to go sandwich! Great way to support a small business. We will definitely be back!

They make ‘em sandwiches thicc!

Long time fan, first time visitor. The R3PO hoagie combination was superb. Always love a shop that dares to put blue cheese in a sandwich. Goes great with roast beef and roast peppers.

I don’t eat meat often but when I do, it’s got to be prepared well. RC Kona absolutely met my expectations.
