   Service was the worst. Pretty much ruined our experience. Short ribs was dry, mahi was fishy and too salty. Gave us another table’s bill. Wait to receive appetizers was 42 minutes. Didn’t take out food order until appetizers served.

   Limited menu due to staffing issues - not a traditional Roy’s full menu. Disappointed with so few options. Service was excellent however.

   A truly odd experience. Bizarre decor. Food good not great. Drinks sweet not strong. Wait staff attentive but brusque. Not horrible but not what we were expecting from Roy’s.

   Excellent service. Prompt seating slightly ahead of our reservation time and great recommendations from our server. Will go back when we return to Waikoloa.

   We loved the food and beverages, all wonderful, but there was a party of 10 near us that was extremely loud and noisy. My husband and I had a difficult time having a conversation as he has hearing issues. Next time we will be smart and ask to be moved!

    That was a long anticipated dinner at Roy’s as we really lived location on Maui and it was quite disappointing. While food was ok the rest just ruined it: I made a reservation more than a week in advance asking for outdoor seating. Nobody bothered to let me know that it is impossible. Outdoor pictures on the restaurant page imply the option exists. Next, we were greeted and seated with no enthusiasm, the floor around the table was all dirty. The waiter who served us was not much carrying, with her hair sticking all over. Not the look you expect around the food with portions price scratching $50. Fish was good. Special bake deserts were average at best. I could not wait to leave. Not sure when I will give another try to Roy’s, definitely not at this location.

    We’ve eaten some really nice restaurants this trip but this was truly our best food so far. I had dynamite crab crusted Mahi Mahi. Soooo good. Hubby had filet. Also great! Chocolate soufflé for desert. I wouldn’t have thought this would be our best meal but it was really good. Service was excellent.

    Three of our party got the dynamite crab encrusted white fish and they raved about it. I got the Tuna and the blackening was too much Chili pepper but the tuna was very good.

    The food was excellent. The waitress (Nicole) was so knowledgeable about the menu. When asked about how a few dishes were prepared, she knew all the details down to the spices and oils. Could ask for any more.

    We went to Roy’s Waikoloa to celebrate our anniversary. We go to Roy’s every time we visit the Big Island and I’ll have to admit the last few visits during the pandemic were subpar. However, last night they finally felt back to the old Roy’s! We had an attentive server, the food came out in a timely fashion and it was fantastic! Plus we got comped dessert for our anniversary!! Thank you so much for a lovely evening!

    Fish was “fishy” smelling & tasting. Filet was tough. Slow service. Goto Brown’s or CanoeHouse. This isn’t up to par with other Roy’s Restaurants. It’s gone downhill.

    Came to celebrate my ironman 70.3 finish and husband's birthday. I'm hard pressed to find any place where the service and the food are this spectacular. Our waiters recommendations were on point and the whole staff absolutely made the dining experience that much better.

    Been here several times and it is always a different experience. Fresh fish was an okay selection, but swimming in sauce. Edamame, instead of bread and butter is a nice start to dinner. Decent wine list, good craft cocktails.

    The Service was fine. The food was tasty…nothing special but also not bad. The ambiance is getting stale. We went to this Waikoloa Roy’s several years ago and it was much more lively and just a better experience all around. Today it feels like they are just holding on and getting by. Maybe it’s a post-covid thing.

    I had the macadamia nut crusted Mahi & my wife had the hibachi salmon and both were excellent, as was the molton chocolate souffle. The atmosphere is so-so, as they are still distancing tables far from each other. We didn't see much of the waiters. However, I would still recommend this place, since so many of the places in Waikoloa are just...almost average.

    We got reservations and were seated without delay. The food was delicious and the servers were clearly doing everything they could to make sure our dining experience was a great one. Considering the nationwide staff shortage, Roy’s is doing a great job getting back to “normal.”

    Waiter talked us into trying the wild boar and it was Outstanding - should have gotten a second appetizer of it! The crab cakes were a total disappointment if your from the East Coast as way too much filler and No crab in the crab cakes. The Macadamia Nut Fish was supposed to be cooked at medium but was well done but our waiter had too many tables so my husband just ate the well done fish

    We use to love coming to Roy's. After our third disappointing dinner, we've decided to forgo anymore attempts. We understand the challenges businesses face now, we own two, but the level of disarray at this establishment makes me with we had eaten anywhere else. There was simply nothing redeeming about our visit.

    Food was fantastic. Server was awkward but gave good recommendations. One of the line cooks acknowledged us when we entered…nice Aloha. Restaurant interior is tired; carpet not clean. Time for a makeover in my opinion to elevate the ambiance, I did not feel like I was in Hawaii…could have been Orange County.

    Food was amazing! Ahi poke nachos were amazing. Our fish was cooked to perfection and the homemade sauces where truly delicious! Chef was able to prepare the fish I wanted with a different preparation. I love this restaurant in Hawaii. Great kids menu choices too ! Only wish our server would have been honest that juices were not included in the kids menu choices when it said beverage was included.
