Quinn's Almost By the Sea

¢-$, American-Casual, Kailua-Kona

User Rating: *** 2.9

Fodor's Review:

Okay, Quinn's is a bit of a dive. That said, it does have a few things going for it -- the best ono sandwiches on the island, for example. It's open until 11 PM, later than any other restaurant in Kailua-Kona (except Denny's). If time gets away from you on a drive to South Point, Quinn's is awaiting your return with a cheap beer and a basket of excellent calamari. You can also have a beer at the funky bar filled with fishermen.

It's been a long time, if ever

Posted by firechick from Foxfield, Colorado on 6/18/08

It's been a long time since I have been served food that tasted this bad at a restaurant. The locals must have a pact with the owner to spread the word to come here. It certainly isn't the food. The service was poor, also. I will never go back and will never recommend it.

Go Somewhere Else

Posted by Redskin80 from Denver on 6/16/08

This was a total waste. The food was cold coming frm the kitchen. A true dive. This place came recommended by the locals, and I cannot understand why. We had a party of 8 with reservations, the food came out two or three plates at a time and like a said was cold. The waitress knew something was wrong as she never bothered to come to the table to check. All of the food was very tasteless, like they forgot to use any seasoning or spices. I had the ONO and swore it was chicken. We left 95% of the food on our plates. Would not even feed to my dogs.

Definite must!!!

This is THE place you want to engage for a wonderful Kona experience. The patio out back is not bayview but so local feeling that it didn't matter. you know where you are are. enjoy the vacation and definitely do at least lunch...you've got the entire stretch of alii drive and the farmers markets down the road to walk it off. go for it! Well well worth it!

Ono Fish and Chips

Posted by seawallgirl from Las Vegas on 4/14/07

Love the Ono Fish and Chips. We have been know to eat there two meals a day whenever we go into Kona. Eating on the Lanai is the best, lots of Gecko friends. I have never eaten anything there that I did not love!!
