Bowling Alley Classics Meet Mountain Comfort

Tucked away near the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, 10-Pin Grill brings a lively, unpretentious energy to the small town of Volcano. It is the kind of place where the sound of crashing pins echoes in the background while you wait for a plate of hearty, island-style comfort food. The atmosphere is authentically low-key—think retro bowling alley aesthetic paired with the friendly, laid-back vibe typical of Big Island residents.

The menu is straightforward, prioritizing substance over flash. Visitors often flock here after a long day of hiking through craters and fern forests, craving their famous local-style burgers and crispy fries. The scent of hot oil and grilled patties greets you the moment you walk through the doors, promising a quick, filling meal. It is an ideal stop for families or groups who aren’t looking for white tablecloths, but rather a spot where they can let their guard down and refuel.

While the service is prompt, do keep in mind that this is a local hangout; during peak weekend hours, the space can get quite busy and loud with the clatter of games. Grab a beer, find a booth, and enjoy a slice of local life that feels a world away from the manicured tourist hubs on the coast. Whether you are aiming for a strike or just a satisfying lunch, 10-Pin Grill delivers exactly what it promises: good fuel for your next adventure in the rainforest.

Had a lot of fun last time we were out. Great location. Good place to kill sometime if your waiting for the naval flows.

We ordered vegetarian pizza and grilled cheeze sandwich. Both were under prepared. Veggies/mushrooms on pizza looked uncooked/raw.

We stopped here for lunch before heading out to hike the volcano. It was perfect for what we needed with young kids. Great burgers and friendly staff. It is an actual bowling alley.

If you are at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and visiting at the temporary Visitor Center at KMC - Kilauea Military Camp. Stop by 10 Pin Grill to get a bite to eat some local food. Pomai was our cook and cashier. He is so acommodating. He listened to my allergy concerns and went all out to finding out if I can eat it. I ended up getting Chicken Katsu and it was the most delicious Katsu I ever tasted. It was juicy, no egg batter, since I got egg allergy. It tasted so ono...I do not need to go anywhere for great food and it is close to home here in Volcano. These guys have gotten a bad rap, but they work really hard despite the rush they have. Sometimes only working alone. Mahalo Pomai for your great customer service, he needs a raise . 10 Pin Grill is a must , especially when Pomai is there.

Food 3/5 - Ordered a loco moco and fish & chips. Loco moco was fine, the hamburger patty was a little thin and could use more salt, but for the price it’s fine. Fish and chips are fried-to-order so it’s nice and hot. Condiments are next to the pick up window and you can grab as much as you please. Service 3/5 - Service is normal for a fast-food style restaurant. Atmosphere 3/5 - Interior is fine, we visited around Christmas time so the interior was decorated with holiday festivities. Tables are kept clean and open. Overall - With limited options inside Volcanoes National Park, this is a quick and cheaper grub-and-go restaurant to continue your adventures inside the park, which is probably the main reason why you’re visiting. I had a pleasant experience and would visit again.

The plate lunch menu is deceptive. $11.00 for single Loco Moco plate lunch comes with not but the Loco. The Loco was $7.00 less than a year ago. $5.00 for four (4) onion rings is wild. I'm seriously disappointed in how much they have increased the prices in less than a year. They lost my business and support.

I love this place ! The food is mostly plate lunches tasty sandwiches/burgers, and fried stuff, but the quality is good and the prices are very reasonable. Bowling is fun but I’d recommend reserving lanes before going as they can get full fast. Also there’s a video game and billiards area. You don’t have to be Military to go here to enjoy either. My only dissatisfaction is that they are sometimes very understaffed to the point the workers look worn out and get temperamental from basic requests. But I do love this place and will continue to take my chances 😅

The bowling part is super fun. They have the little ramp thing for kids to even play. If it was all based on the bowling part 5 stars. However the guy working there is why 3 stars. The guy comes off rude. But im sure its the stress of running the whole place single handedly. I kind of fault the owner for not hiring at least 1 more staff. They guy takes orders, then goes back to cook. So if hes cooking long time your standing there for 20 plus minutes waiting for service again. Not efficient at all.

A bowling alley on a live volcano? What more could one ask for? Know that you have to make reservations for a bowling lane, and you'll want to pay the $15 per person per bowling game when your service to your reservation because who knows? She might go anytime! The loco moco was alright, typical fast food. The egg was cooked superbly and the gravy was nice, if the quality of the hamburger was a bit like rubber ;) the great things about the alley is the space age lighting and the easy-to-use bowling shoes. The food prices could be a bit more affordable.

Came to camp near the volcano and went here for some food and to bowl. Didn't get to bowl as it's reserved on Saturdays, but we sat and played some board games and had some food. It was great, food was cheap and better than expected.. grilled chicken burger was my favorite
