Laverne's Big Island Alehouse & Restaurant

Another stellar visit to Laverne's. The loco moco is by far the best I have had any where in Kona. I am actively trying everyone's loco moco to find what I think is the best. This one is by far the best I have had to date. Service was good despite only one person watching the bar and tables. I will absolutely be back. January 2026. Yet another stellar visit. Different bar tender, great service. Food was served quickly and again, did not disappoint. I will be back again. Highly reccomend. April 2026. Another awesome visit. You guys are killing it.

Dylan was an absolute delight! His house special drink he created was an absolute table pleaser!! Please ask him about it, you will not regret it! Its smokey, bright, and made with lots of love :)

I enjoyed drinking a beer here and looking out over the bay. I did not order food but they definitely do serve good here.

Service was excellent! Food was very good (Mahi Mahi). Open air seating was memorable.

Haven’t been back since Humpy’s. Bunch of tables weren’t wiped down, so definitely low on staff. No live music on weekdays or at least when we got there at 8. Steamer clams were extremely over salted and my tongue still hurts from the little sauce that I did consume. I should have returned it but didn’t want to be a Karen. Wedge salad is hard to mess up. Seafood pasta was good. The beer I wanted was out. Our bartender was really nice and gave us great service, but I don’t think I will be back, not living up to the old glory days from 4 years ago and also Anchorage AK location.

The bartender wasn’t very friendly and seemed like he didn’t really want to be at work, maybe was just having a bad day. However, the wait staff was welcoming and made friendly conversation. The food was okay, though there are extra charges for almost everything, including a side and sauce which is fine. They were also out of several menu items, so I ended up ordering my third choice. Overall, it’s fine considering there aren’t many dining options in the area. The indoor and outdoor seating are both nice, and it’s pet-friendly, which is a really cool bonus. I would go back for some pupus and drinks if I were in the area.

Bro!!!! The view here... let me get the scene for you. I am sitting at the bar looking out the open windows watching dolphins jumping in the bay. The bartender is a Rockstar, the food is delicious, the drinks are cold and the game is on tv... so basically it's perfection!

Went here for lunch on a weekday. There was ample seating. The views are spectacular! It is right across the road from the ocean. Usually busy with pedestrian on the sidewalk too. There is an upper and lower floor. Both have bars. Service was excellent. Food was very good. We had a burger with bacon and fries.
