Good food, Great Views! The views at sunset are so amazing from this restaurant. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was good, seafood is their specialty. Never made it to dessert but it looked amazing.

Best seafood chowder! Both of our meals on Christmas Day were exceptional. Best seafood chowder with Dungeness crab, that I’ve ever had.

A great place to eat and drink We went there a number of times during our stay in Kona. We had breakfast, a late lunch and dinner. There service is great but if you go in the evening, make sure you have a reservation. I want to also point out that the bartenders were great, we had a custom drink order and they took care of us. They also have a small parking lot up behind the restaurant and are close to the public lot. - 1 week ago

Lively night out. Great view of the bay, not directly looking west toward the sunset. Large restaurant, family friendly and great service. Specialty drinks were fantastic as was the fish we ate. - 1 week ago

Fantastic gf options. Fantastic! Plentiful gf options. Open air venue with a gorgeous view of the water. My husband had the ribs that fell off the bone and I had broiled chicken. Very flavorful and tender. The vegetable medley was delicious as was the accompanying rice. We would definitely visit again. Highly recommend. - 1 week ago

Our favorite in Kona The Fish Hopper is our favorite restaurant in downtown Kona. We have at least one dinner there (sometimes two) during our time on the Big Island. It’s not just the food that is excellent, it’s also the ambience and the always friendly waitstaff. On this visit, we chose to try the seafood platter for two. Two lobster tails, Dungeness crab, scallops, shrimp, Hawaiian mochiko, ahi tuna - all grilled to perfection. Wonderfully fresh veggies and rice. It was tremendous! Not inexpensive, but worth it (request market price - it varies). I never make it to dessert here. But maybe on my next visit! - 2 weeks ago

Sure, it is a tourist spot... Still pretty good. OK, it is a tourist bar, catering to the mobs of tourists on Ali'i Drive, but the food is good and not overpriced. I had an appointment in town and just decided to play tourist afterwards, walking along Ali'i and the bay, just seeing what was happening. I needed a late breakfast/early lunch and on a whim stopped in Fish Hopper. Was pleasantly surprised by good food and menu prices that seemed quite reasonable. A breakfast burrito and a cocktail from the bar seemed like a good choice, and it was. A solid portion that filled a big guy like me. Yes, I could do Fish Hopper again, maybe try something else on the menu. - 2 weeks ago

A busy spot. Even with a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. Prompt service at the table. Our server was cheerful and answered all our questions relative to the menu. The appetizers and entrees were plated in a way to create a strong visual appeal and they were delicious. Liked it so much that we made a reservation for lunch tomorrow . - 2 years ago

A nice open air location looking out at the beach. The food and menu were great. If you are super hungry try one of their ship platters...but bring your wallet. The drink menu was impressive. - 2 years ago

Was walking by and needed a place to eat. So glad we stopped in. The service was great and fast. Wasn't sure what to have so the waiter suggested the Ono fish and chips. It was a good meal, very tasty and filling. The fish was cooked perfectly and it had a lovely light batter. I want more. - 2 years ago

Although we didn’t get anything other than breakfast, I highly recommend Fish Hopper! It’s one of the more reasonably priced places that still taste quality. Service was great every time we went! I recommend the French toast or crab omelette. Love this place! - 3 years ago

Sat at the bar on Christmas Eve, had a cocktail and tried their Poke Nachos, Crispy Calamari and the beef and shrimp skewers. Everything was promptly delivered and it was delicious. The bartender Katie was awesome to watch her practice her craft. Our server, not sure if her name, she was on top of our needs, never missed a beat.
You must try their Bloody Mary, they are a essentially a breakfast entree.
Great food, great service!
Merry Christmas! - 3 years ago

So yummy!! Ate here on a Friday night, it was super busy but we had a reservation. We had a party of 8 and our server was great. Got our food and drinks quickly. They bring around a dessert tray to show you the desserts (and make it impossible to pass up). I had the macadamia mahi mahi. It was delicious. - 3 months ago

Best place we've eaten so far! My husband and I shared the salad special which was incredible. He got the shrimp trio and I got the fish tacos. Everything was great. The coconut shrimp in the shrimp trio was my favorite aside from the salad. The service was also wonderful and you can't beat the scenery. Would highly recommend. In fact, we may visit again before our trip is over. - 4 months ago

The restaurant has very nice view of the ocean. You and sit and have a POG mimosa (highly recommended) while watching people swim/train. The loco moco is very good. Their brown gravy is delicious. The service was excellent the first day we went but on the second time it was just okay. Nothing terrible but the first day was much better. Also the fruit plate was not good, all the fruit was bland. Also the Kona fried rice was salty. It looked delicious and it was overly salty where I couldn't eat but more than my liking.
Final verdict: I would eat here again and have a POG mimosa and loco moco for breakfast. - 4 months ago

One of our favorite places on the big island. The view of the bay is fantastic. Get there off peak times and sit on the rail to people watch. High tide with onshore winds are amusing to observe. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about.
Good food, the Sand Dabs and veggies are good. Awesome deserts. - 4 months ago

My first time going to this restaurant. It was our last dinner before leaving the Big Island! I ordered salad, salmon with vegetables and rice and had bread pudding for dessert. Every part of the meal was delicious! We made reservations ahead of time and were seated at a table with a view of the ocean! It was a great experience for our last day. I will come back the next time we visit Kona - 4 months ago

Stopped here during cruise ship vacation. Very happening place in Kona, Hi. Takes longer to get your food but it is good food. Happy hour margarita and blood Mary was watery. Kids grilled cheese was amazing. Grilled chicken sandwich was fresh and good. Expensive for lunch but worth it. Good for groups. - 4 months ago
