Best Places To Eat On Big Island Hawaii
Original blog by Kelly Chen:
Jackie Rey’s Hilo is inside a former bank with high ceilings, making it bright and modern. It’s a great spot to satisfy your cravings after a day of adventuring and chasing waterfalls in Hilo!
There were multiple Pupus I wanted to try, so I was delighted to see a pupu platter on the menu. It was a sampler of edamame, ahi poke, pork spring rolls, and crispy ribs — everything was delicious and flavorful. It’s a great way to try some of everything and share among the table.
For entrees, we all tried different dishes. I ordered the seared duck breast, which was thinly sliced and tender. Brett got the guava BBQ glazed baby back ribs that came with french fries and island slaw with pineapple relish; my mom had the seafood trio consisting of a grilled fresh catch, crab cake, and shrimp kabob accompanied by Molokai sweet potatoes; and my stepdad tried the homemade lobster ravioli with seared Hawaiian prawns.
They serve generous portions, and while we were happily stuffed, we couldn’t turn down trying some desserts. We ended up all sharing the lilikoi cheesecake and triple fudge brownie roll. If you’re in the area, check out this popular local favorite!
