Fresh breeze! Spectacular view of the mountains and ocean!! Perfect spot to sit down, eat some fresh food and relax after hiking.
Their produce is most affordable than anywhere else and tastes good. Let’s support local growers and families.
It was a perfect stop after hiking in the valley. I hiked four times in that Valley hike. I was super hungry by the end of it and perfect time to stop for a lunch break. I simply enjoyed it. Thank you everyone for supporting this local business.

What a place, beautiful views, delicious food and the best service. We had a work meeting so we stayed there for a couple of hours and they were wonderful. It’s a family owned and operated business, my only disappointment was that they had ran out of pineapples because we were there late in the day. Worth the drive.

Really tasty and fresh food. Prices are really affordable. We are vegetarians so we picked the only lunch option that we saw - Vegan Poke Bowl. It was great. We also ordered “Da Boss” smoothie. It was freshly made and delicious (mango, pineapple, coconut milk).

Soak in the beautiful view, with horses and mules on a hill, while you sip on a smoothie or eat a poke bowl. Perfect little stop after Pololu valley hike. I love this place!

You couldn’t ask for a better setting. This is effectively a food truck with a little more infrastructure around it. It’s right next to a historic valley hiking trail (2-3 minute drive away) - which is also worth a visit. This place itself has great views of the ocean and farm / ranch land.

Food is simple but good. I’d recommend the pork plate over the chicken plate. We didn’t try the poke - but others really seemed to enjoy it.

Staff couldn’t be friendlier. Would definitely come again!

Gorgeous setting and food and beverages to match. These are the friendliest people with the best cup of coffee on the island. It's a great spot for a break while touring the north side of BI. If you have never tried starfruit then give it a shot -- it is out of this world.

This is the perfect spot after hiking the Poloū Historic Trail. The shaved ice is decent (not the best on the island) but the price is excellent. Also there is an incredible view of the ocean, greenery all around, and horses that you can pet. Restrooms as well as there are no restrooms at the lookout trail. I didn't order any food but it looked good from seeing others order.

This place is an experience in itself. It’s a food truck that has outdoor seating overlooking the ocean, can’t get much better than that. We were there on a Sunday afternoon so it was fairly busy and they had a live music.

If you get one item definitely get the pork nachos. They were excellent. The chicken plate was also tasty, the chicken was flavorful and juicy. The basil lemonade was very refreshing.

I would also recommend giving the chocolate ice cream a try. I think it was the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

Overall I would absolutely recommend this place if you are in this area. When we come back to the Big Island this will definitely be a place we would drive out of our way for to come to again.
