About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Romantic
  • Great for outdoor dining
Chart a course to Huggo’s for the finest in surfside dining. Dine just inches above the waves on an open-air lanai. Experience tender beef or prime rib, or try our exquisite island-fresh seafood. And by the way, when we say fresh we mean fresh! Ahi, mahi mahi, ono and other delectable Hawaiian fish are delivered directly to our back door by local fishermen who caught them just hours earlier.

Enjoy artfully prepared selections also influenced by Pacific Rim and Mediterranean styles.

Thanks to Huggo’s on the water location, and its commitment to “aloha” service, diners at Huggo’s will savor influences from Japanese, Chinese and Southeast Asian ports of call. This family owned restaurant has become an island tradition since offering its first seafood platter 45 years ago.

Huggo’s on the Rocks, our next door neighbor, is the perfect location for oceanside cocktails and light fare.

    Huggo’s truly impressed us! The ambiance is beautiful and we sat right aside the ocean while the waves were crashing into the rocks. It has a very romantic, modern feel, with live Hawaiian music being sung. The food was one of the best meals we’ve had in Kona so far. I highly recommend!!

    Fun restaurant with good food and tropical ambiance. Glad we sat outside, away from the live music that was turned up a bit too loud.

    Steaks a little dry. Pasta a little under cooked. Fish dish needed a little more sauce. Clams were great.

    Our server Renee was outstanding, friendly and made us feel special. From start to finish she had us taken care of in the most hospitable way. The food was good, not great. Also, don’t know why a lovely delicate kefir rice was paired with cajun seasoned fish- after a few bites couldn’t tell the difference. Atmosphere is magical. Try dining at sunset. Just stunning. Cocktails meh.
