Any updates on the best local food or any great food there or nearby? Thanks.

Hilo Lunch Stop looked good too and if I had more time I would have tried it. Kuhio Grill has tasty Hawaiian food...the laulau has beef which I thought was a bit odd, but it was very tasty.

I can't imagine going to Hilo without stopping there. Wed Aug 05 06:44:36 -0700 2009 4914781 75881 vorpal 3 4944107 The food highlight of our stay on the Big Island. Ken's is a hoot, and the food is quite good.

That's about as local as it gets. Loco moco the big thing but I like the combo plates. There use to be the lau lau place, Kaupena Ono Food but I think they closed a while ago.
