    Excellent food and desserts. Great place on the water with a nice view. Really appreciate the Kama’aina menu and the free appetizer and dessert for military … that’s very generous. I still went with the Land and Sea Burger tho. Nico was the best waiter we’ve had anywhere around the world in YEARS. We will definitely visit Fish Hopper once more before leaving the Big Island. Highly recommend.

    As always, the food and service are excellent at the fish hopper! My husband and I always come here when we come to the big island. Our piña coladas are perfect! I had the poke plate and he had fish and chips. We usually go a little more exotic, but we went for something simple this time. We don’t leave for five more days, and we will definitely be back for one more outstanding evening before heading back to the mainland. Exceptional service as well!

    From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm island hospitality and a host who made us feel right at home! The birthday presentation was not only beautiful, but also added such a special touch to the entire experience. And the food? Truly next level—fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best we had on the island. If you’re looking for a memorable spot that blends great vibes with delicious eats, this is a must-visit on your Big Island adventure! 🌺🍽✨

    Nicholas our server was outstanding! Everyone was welcoming, greeted us with smiles and knowledgeable. Chicken breast teriyaki and ono were great. The mango lime cheesecake was to die for. The view of the ocean was romantic and beautiful.
