   We were celebrating a birthday and Roy’s was the perfect choice. We started with the seared ahi appetizer and then each of us had one of the fish choices. Dinner was delicious. This is the place to go to if you are in the Waikoloa area!

   The food was good but it could have been heated up a bit warmer. I had the macademia nut crusted mahi mahi and my husband had the meatloaf. We received a free chocolate souffle ckae dessert for my husband's birthday which was delicious.

   Bar tender stalked my son’s wife, showing up four times during the dinner to ogle her. Not much was done by the manager when my son brought it up with the manager. Five hundred dollars spent and yet the restaurant’s employee spoiled the evening. We canceled the two remaining reservations we had and will not go back anytime soon.

   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.

    The ahi nachos and Brussel sprouts were awesome 5* the whole Thai fish for 2 (a father's day special)was very mildly flavored but good, but for $99 I want wow that is good not it's fine hence the 4* I was disappointed that the waiter assistant left the fish with two spoons but didn't plate the fish. At least not the first serving.

    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.

    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.

    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.
