"Hilo's Loco Moco Invented in Hilo, the Loco Moco is a very local breakfast item with its own following. Most restaurants put their own little twist on the meal. Cafe 100 in Hilo serves theirs in more than 30 varieties, though the basic loco moco is simply rice, a hamburger patty, and Hilo-style brown gravy with an egg on top. The Loco Moco is a cheap and still substantial meal that can be eaten any time of the day."

Great quick stop for authentic Hawaiian food! Rotating specials so be aware if you are planning on wanting a specific item. Kalua cabbage was amazing had great flavor, was tender, juicy and comforting. Loco moco was good, had great char flavor and gravy was not too heavy or salty. Plenty of seating and food came out quickly. Make sure you stop for a quick lunch in Hilo!

One of the most delicious food we had in the big island! The place is small and does not provide good dinning atmosphere. But all the points go to the food. The bbq plate and lau lau were super good, and very large portion, definitely worth the price!

Self serve restaurant to try local Hawaiian cuisine - loco moco - rice topped with gravy, choice of protein and eggs. Try the cascaron - coconut mochi donut. It’s not too sweet but with a good filling of coconut mochi

Really glad I stopped by for some loco moco. They have a huge menu and the prices aren't too bad. Was surprised that the standard loco moco fits neatly inside a relatively small container, but it was great. The katsu was also really good. Was surprised that there are tables inside, but I didn't realize it's a takeout place with seating instead of a full service restaurant.

Even though prices have gone up, the food is still a pretty good price for the amount you get. Overrun by tourists during peak meal hours. However, it isn’t all hype. The loco moco is very solid and is one of the best I’ve had in the state. Also got some cream puffs for dessert and they were pretty good.

Good sized portions, flavourful and tasty. The fries could have been cooked a smidge longer so it was more crisp. Lots of rice, gravy was smooth and not too salty. Service was quick. Ample parking and outdoor seating. Portable potty available

Had to have the original Loco Moco! I got the Super Loco: hamburger, spam and sausage! Yummy! Rest of the family enjoyed different versions of burgers. Also had strawberry sherbet and sweet pastry (forgot the name), both good.

As a connoisseur of fish, I did not appreciate the Fish Sandwich that I ordered in May 2025, that had all the bloody black tail end of the fish! It was disgusting, and I had to throw it away! Why doesn't the owner just instruct the kitchen to cut that part out? Who eats that part? Cut it out, and feed it to your family, if that's the part you prefer! Golly-gee!!
