Tropics Tap House

Good service. Good food. Story time... My wife had a bad time because she cannot get water out of her ear for the whole morning after snorkeling. After she finally got the water out we went to this place to have lunch. She had a burger and I had a chicken sandwich. She started crying after the first bite. I thought well the burger must be real good then. 5 star and will come again. Or maybe it is just the onion 🧅🧅?

Tropics Restaurant & Taphouse is a great spot for a quick, satisfying bite. They have some of the best poke nachos around and really solid hamburgers. The beer selection is another win, with quite a few options on tap. It’s super convenient—close to the condo—so it’s an easy choice when you want something good without going far. As a sports bar, they usually have a good game on, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere. Perfect place to stop for food, drinks, and catching a game.

Great burgers and kind staff. The only thing I didn't like was that when we asked if we could switch out french fries to instead have caesar's salad, we weren't told that doing the switch would have an extra $5 charge for each (and also didn't mention an extra charge for extra dressing - which I've never seen at any restaurant). So the total bill of $85 for 2 burgers was a lot.

Burgers, fries, bulgogi beef and kalua pork were very good. Drinks were good but not great. Come as you are, friendly sports bar. Easy parking.

I cannot say enough good things about this place, the service, and the food! My fiancé and I have came to this place every night since we found it.. drinks are 11/10, the service is amazing— special shoutout to Aaron! Someone give that man a raise! The food is incredible. Our family and us will forever be repeating customers!

We stopped into Tropics Restaurant in Kona for an early dinner and it was fantastic! I had their special — a 6 oz ribeye with veggies (I swapped mine for fries) — and everything was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was generous, and the staff was prompt and friendly. I think we may have ordered off the lunch menu since we came in early, but it didn’t matter — everything was great. We’ll definitely be back! Hubby had the fish and chips!

The view was great Service was phenomenal Kona beer was really good The family had burgers which were huge and terrific I had the pork chop and it was amazing. Great work Team Tropics

The food was absolutely terrible except for the burger. The Buffalo wings had no flavor at all. The smoked meat had no flavor and tasted bad. That artichoke was just a complete dissapointment. They even burnt the bread. I never like giving bad food reviews but this was the blandest and worst food I've had at a restaurant that was supposed to be fine dining.

I went for happy hour for drinks and tapas. Great service and friendly staff, but ok food and drinks. Skip the cocktails and go for beer or wine instead since there is no taste of liquor in the mixed drinks. The Margarita and Mai Tai didn’t have any liquor taste in them. The Tapas menu was a nice variety with good presentation.

Happy hour 2pm-5pm! Great menu with steak options. Didn’t grab a photo of the volcanic fries they were too bomb to not devour right away. Service was very aloha. Beautiful ocean view or you can watch 1 of the many tvs that offer the sports games. Kid friendly with mocktail options. I’m surprised that there are so many reviews that state the food is flavorless! The food was very satisfying, totally recommend. Just a walk away from the Kona coast resort 😉
