Lava Lava Beach Club on Postcard

"Putting the "Beach" in Beach Bar If searching for turtles, sticking your feet in warm afternoon sand, and sipping a mai tai are your idea of a perfect day on the Big Island of Hawaii, you'll want to loll about at Lava Lava Beach Club. A place where locals and tourists both feel comfortable to take a break, the adirondack chairs perched in the sand are a welcoming sight on the sunny shores of Waikoloa. The beach club's island atmosphere and carefully crafted cocktails, including a coconut, ginger, pineapple, lilikoi-flavored Gilligan's girl or the Okole Maluna (bartenders daily special), make this spot in the sand a special place. Patrons can also chill out with a Hawaii beer and energize from a "farm-to-beach" inspired menu that includes as many ingredients sourced from the Big Island as possible."

Great bartender! Wonderful location for watching the sunset!n Our food was served cold several times. One dish we were told was a favorite & a good choice after the first two attempts came out cold. When that item arrived sub standard we were then told that the dish was "iffy". The waitress was so bad I had to tell her to walk away from the table. The manager made things right by removing items from the bill, but we would much rather have had good food and good service. You should leave a restaurant feeling hungry. Go for the view & the drinks, not the food or service.

We went to the place for dinner as we were staying close-by and the place looked inviting with live music. Atmosphere and music is good. Our order was pineapple fried rice with chicken, Mango Tango, coconut coleslaw, sweet potato fries and lava cake. The food was disappointing and overpriced. Pineapple fried rice was nicely presented but the taste was okay. The Mango Tango nan was a glorified small sized pizza, coleslaw was good but the quantity was small. The lava cake was a commercially produced reheated frozen one with the chocolate inside still cold. I would not recommend it.

You can't beat the atmosphere of Lava Lava Beach Club! Beautiful open air restaurant right on the beach, with beach front dining. We stopped for a Saturday lunch and service was quick and delightful! It was hot and sunny so we opted to dine under the patio, by the bar. Still had amazing beach front views while under the comfort of the shade! We both ordered Kalua Pork sandwiches and were impressed! We love the generous amount of coleslaw on the sandwiches! The staff were so friendly and cool as well.

The location of the restaurant is amazing and the views are some of the best on the island. We sat in the sand and it was perfect. The food portions seemed very large for the price and unfortunately after we ordered our appetizer we were too hungry for the main course. Luckily the waitress had given us some time to enjoy the appetizer and we didn’t order a main course that we wouldn’t have eaten. We were able to see the portions of the main courses on other tables and they looked huge and the food looked great as well. The drinks were delicious and we did enjoy a couple of them! Overall a great place, the only reason for the 4 star review would be that the prices were a little high for us. If we were there with our kids or another couple the appetizer portion would have been fine. Perhaps some smaller portion lower priced appetizers would be a good option…

Go to this place for the awesome sunset views! We were blown away by the vibes (casual with live music) and the views. It’s right on the beach with outdoor seating so the kids can roam (with supervision) while waiting for food. Our server Tatiana was awesome and made my birthday dinner special. Food was alright, out of everything we ordered the coconut curry with roasted vegetables was the best.

Waited over an hour to eat here, but it’s understandable because everyone wants to eat here at sunset. If you can make a reservation do it! You can’t go wrong with view of the beach. Service and food were great.

Unfortunately got the shrimp pineapple fried rice which came out cold, they took it back to remake it. The second dish came out in 2 minutes even colder than the first dish. Was kind of sus and scary to get cold shrimp rice twice. We had amazing drinks and incredible service at the bar with one of the bartenders who was so sweet though. Would recommend this place only for drinks. Had to leave to get takeout food from big island fireart instead which came out piping hot.

A great restaurant experience. The atmosphere (especially if you get a beach table) is second to none, but the food quality continues to decline. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and each time gets worse. That said, it still earns a visit because of the location. Entrees are about $50 each
