About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Our first visit to Huggo’s, could not have been a better experience. Oceanfront table for 4 and our server Michelle was fabulous. Cajun seared Ahi appetizer, Ono with MacNut crust, Swordfish, and two NY Steaks were all wonderful. Cocktails to start were excellent with a local twist on classic recipes. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Huggos was wonderful- the drinks were good and creative, the food was amazing from appetizers to the catch of the day!! Our waitress was up there for the best part of the night - friendly & so helpful with advice on what to eat. The view was gorgeous made the night even more amazing. Would go there all the time if I lived in Hawaii!!!!! Can’t say enough

    This was one of the best dining experiences I have had anywhere in a long time! Our table was right on the edge of the ocean and we enjoyed a great sunset. The Mai Tia was the best on the island, the food was outstanding and our waitperson was the best! We capped it off in the bar, listening to our favorite Hawaiian song!

    Great experience from start to finish. View is fantastic and enjoyed the live music. Our server Michelle was so knowledgeable and accommodating regarding a food allergy in our group. Poke stack and crudo were enjoyed by all and the fresh catch of opah was a delight that we were lucky to have on the menu. Would recommend to anyone staying in Kona or if you can make it a stop on the way.

    The hostess seated us very promptly as we were early for a reservation. The server knowledgeable in both drink and food suggested items that we did select and we’re delicious especially from the drink menu. The ambience was wonderful seaside table for two have been there before and met the manager, Heidi, who came over to our table and spoke with us. She definitely knows what she’s doing and putting together a wonderful crew, I would recommend this place to anyone.
