Most of the food here is cooked on the restaurant’s Hawaiian Keawe Wood Pit Grill. Hawaiian barbecue is grilled over an open fire rather than smoked. That’s what makes it unique and so great. You can taste the mesquite charcoal in every bite.

There are so many options at Kona. You can choose from barbecue, teriyaki, or volcano chicken, smoky salty Kalua pig, barbecue St. Louis-style ribs, or teriyaki tri-tip beef.

The St. Louis-style ribs served here are marinated for 48 hours in Kona’s homemade Huli sauce and are then cooked for hours over loose Keawe wood. They practically fall right off the bone.
