Came here on our last night on the Big Island. Wait was 30 minutes+. This is relaxing, fun place to eat and have a beer or two. Would come back for the beer; unfortunately the food is average.

Got To Go! Here that is if you visit Kona. There are three things to visit: 1. Beer 2. Food 3. Tours Now for the details: 1. The beer is among the best you can find anywhere. Their Koko Brown and Pipeline Porter are excellent examples of how added flavors (coconut and coffee resp.) can enhance beer. You will find... More

As a traveler with food allergies I appreciated the Kona Brewing Company menu and wait staff. I found the people were so attentive to detail, yet this is a casual dining place. The food was served hot, the house wine was good (my husband liked the beer sampler), and the dessert -- woozer! The brownie ice cream with chocolate sauce... More

Made it to the brewery 3 times this last trip to Kona, as always the beer and food was great. The atmosphere and the staff are very upbeat, prices are reasonable. Will go back next time we're on the island

We loved that the menu here offers beer flights so you can try out small portions of several beers. My recommendations would be the Koko Brown (brown ale with coconut) and the Pipeline Porter brewed with Kona coffee - both exceptional. The food was good, with generous portions and prepared to a good standard. The atmosphere is relaxed and the... More

As a life long lover of all things beer related, I can tell you that the brews at Kona are first rate. I can also tell you that the food is some of the best I found on the Big Island. It's a pizza joint first and foremost, but their menu includes a great deal more than just pizza. Try... More

My husband and I visited this restaurant and brewery for the free tour before going souvenir shopping on our last day in Kona. We were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it! We went on a tour of the brewery (they have them in the morning and at 3pm - we went in the afternoon) The tour itself was... More

Went here to grab and pint and a bite to eat, and was glad I did. Great indoor and outdoor seating. The food was really good, and the two beers I sampled were tasty too! The employees were really friendly and service was great!

The Kona Brewing Company was worth a visit. We arrived for an early dinner and really liked the pizza, beer and outside seating. Prices were sensible and the service was suburb. The indoor seating was more like a sports bar, somewhat dark and noisy. We were pleased with the Growler take home service at $10 after deposit.

We really enjoyed our visit to Kona Brewing Company - my boyfriend tried the sampler which consisted of four beers which he really enjoyed. The food was tasty and arrived in good time despite it being very busy. The outdoor seating area is a really great atmosphere, you could quite easily sit there all evening chatting with friends. The place... More
