With episode #40 looming we were looking to ring in the New Year on the rim of the volcano. We made reservations for January 1st and dressed up to celebrate.
The only time available was 8 pm a bit late for us but we took it totally geeked to eat on the rim of an active volcano. We arrived early and waited almost an hour to be seated. We were seated at a window table which is awesome but the inside lighting was so bright all you could see was your own reflection. They were out of several of the menu items like the fresh catch of the day and the tiramisu. We ordered drinks and an appetizer then our entrees. The restaurant cleared out and we felt forgotten. Once we finished our entrees it felt like forever before we were approached about dessert. The chocolate cake was really good but took a long time to get. I had night vision on my iPhone and I was able to capture the smoldering volcano.This was probably our least favorite meal of our trip.

Imagine having dinner on top of a volcano. Amazing.
The food, I guess for the price I expected much more. It wasnt bad by any means but.. it definitely wasnt spectacular. Chicken was relatively bland considering…i enjoyed the bed of potatoes quite a bit but id not order this again. Wife had the steak salad and enjoyed it. I tried the steak and was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps I jist got the wrong dish but for the price, there ought not be a wrong dish.
The dessert on the other hand… phenomenal.
The bathrooms however need some serious attention. They’re pretty filthy…and smell.

Shoutout to the parking lot worker who had just 2 available parking spaces left who let us park there last night!
For future reference when you walk inside the Volcano House do not stand at the first line upon entering if you have reservations for The Rim. You have to turn left, pass the gift shop turn left again and go through the doors. The hostest will be to the right. You can also call and reserve ahead of time.
Shoutout to Rihannon the hostest. When I finally found the right place to check in. ♀️She was able to setup our table for 5 very quickly! While we waited we went outside and took pictures of the volcano and with it! Once our table was ready I got a text and headed back to Rihannon who sat us directly in front of the volcano! Thank you, Rihanna for your kindness, quick service, and friendliest. You made my family’s night and this was my family’s favorite part of the trip so far. Thank you
Once you go through the doors and turn left you will see a door outside. This is where you can go to take absolutely incredible pictures ans videos of the volcano.
Soup of the day was filling and had a delicious coconut curry sauce with meat.The bone marrow appetizer was good, but cooled quickly. My daughter’s loved their Volcano House Pesto Pasta and Truffle Infused Mushroom Mac. Husband enjoyed his Seared Kona Kampachi. The chef’s fresh catch of the day was scrumptious. The fish was cooked perfectly with a slight cruch on the outside and flaky inside. The bok choy was ok, but the coconut sauce on the bottom and side of rice really made it that much better. The coconut sauce was savory with a coconut aftertaste that gave it just a slight sweetness. The white chocolate guava cheesecake tartlets were the perfect way to end the meal. They weren’t too sweet and the perfect size. Guava flow was also perfect to sip with the view of the volcano.
Thank you, Landon. You were a fantastic, energetic, and funny server. My family really enjoyed you!

Incredible experience all around. My wife and I came here on our fifth anniversary the night before Kīlauea’s 41st eruption. Staff gave us a table with a great view of the volcano. We could see it simmering all dinner. I got the penne pasta with medium rare steak, to die for. My wife got the New York Strip and said it was incredible. The mule was a great drink, and my wife loved the wine selection. They brought us out a free desert that they had decorated with a strawberry sauce to wish us a happy 5th. All around incredible experience. I would have easily paid twice as much for this place.

We visited the restaurant after watching the lava eruption in Episode 34 and trekking the Iki Trail! It was a perfect day with lava, delicious food, and friendly service. The staff’s Aloha spirit touched us, and they even took some wonderful family photos. We’ll definitely be back again next time we visit the Big Island!

The food was delicious, the staff were lovely, and the view was great. Unfortunately, it was raining the day I went so I couldn’t see much of the volcano. The steak I ordered was cooked well, and I really liked it. Everything I ordered was delicious.

The night of the 42nd volcano eruption, we enjoyed a front window seat to the massive lava fountains! Created a great backdrop to a great meal. The restaurant is inside the very old classic Volcano Lodge; complete with wood fireplace. Staying in the lodge made it simple to have meals; we ate at the Rim two nights, one night at the more casual Lodge restaurant Uncle Georges Lounge. All meals were prepared very well.
For the first meal, we ordered a couple of Mai Tais that were nicely flavorful. For appetizers, I can recommend the Furikake Seared Ahi; gently seared with very flavorful colorful condiments. Plus, the portion was relatively generous as well.
The chef’s entree special was an amazing local fish prepared attractively and tasting marvelous.
For our second night, the volcano was no longer erupting and the crowds of watchers had left so the meal was far less hectic. Did a less extravagant meal of Big Island Stuffed Chicken (great stuffing of Feta cheese and greens!) and it was a great choice. Straying from fish my partner went with the perfectly grilled 12 oz Hawaiian beef ribeye. Finished up with a fun crème brûlée with lots of burnt sugar!.
Not a restaurant to drive 1-2 hours to, but if you find yourself on the mountain, well-worth stopping for a great meal here. but try to get there when the volcano isn’t erupting or you’ll be trampled, pushed, and find nowhere to park.

This restaurant was incredible. It overlooked the crater and had such a great atmosphere. The servers were attentive and nice and the food was absolutely incredible. The price was fair and it was overall great experience. Afterwards we went for a 2-mile hike on the path around the rim which was also very neat.

We didn’t have high expectations for the food or service (based on some reviews we read) and had planned to come mostly for a view! We lucked out and the volcano was erupting that day and we had seats right by the window. I made a reservation about a week out. Our server was quite good and was attentive. We were seated at our reservation time
The view and atmosphere was amazing. The food was alright (chicken was a bit too salty, nothing “wowed” us for the price point, the edamame was my favourite part of the meal and very good). The view was the highlight! Getting to sit and relax, watch the sunset and the lava was an amazing experience.
