You seat yourself. Welcoming staff and the food was flavorful. We ordered the cheese steak and the chicken club. Yummy

This place was such a fun vibe on a Monday night! We came here and it was open mic night. Locals were singing and doing stand up comedy. It was such a blast. The food was amazing! We had the nachos, lava burger , burrito and lemon pepper chicken wings. My husband said the LAVA BURGER was the best burger he ever had. Sooo good! Even though it was busy, the service was very good too!

Great chill vibe. Food was tremendous. Staff was helpful and real and kind. Try the loaded tots and the hangover burger you won’t regret either.

Finally checked out this popular downtown Hilo tavern and man the food was fantastic! We tried the pickle trio and the fish and chips. The burgers coming out of the back looked amazing. Good service, cool atmosphere, pool tables, outdoor patio, and live music was just beginning. Loved it

After spending some time at Lyman Museum, we desired lunch and a Yelp search led us to Hilo Town Tavern. Walking through the entrance we were greeted by a server who also doubled as a bartender. We proceeded to order the following: Mai Tai’s, Jamaican Jerk seasoned chicken tenders (wife) and the Lava burger (me)…both orders with the hand cut tavern fries. Since the restaurant was fairly empty, our orders came out fairly quickly. Both of our orders arrived hot and were very flavorful. As we enjoyed our meals and sipped our deliciously strong Mai Tai’s, we enjoyed people watching and eavesdropping on the conversations held by locals. Throughout our visit, the server did a great job of checking in on us. If you’re in Hilo and have a yearning for some delicious food and strong drinks, I recommend checking out Hilo Town Tavern. My only regret is that we did not visit during a karaoke night!

The karaoke on the Wednesday night I was there was a lot of fun. Everybody was having a blast. I was just the quiet guy grabbing a bit of some chicken tenders at the bar, but I was happy that the atmosphere was very cheerful and jubilant. Put me in a good mood seeing people sing. The food was good, and the bathroom was good, too.
