WikiFRESH

Tasty mouthwatering food with fast friendly service. Try the infused water too. With lots of parking and an ample dining area, you're sure to find a seat for yourself, a couple or even a group. Highly recommended!

Fast, healthy and delicious. I wish the serving sizes were consistent, it can vary from employee to employee. From a half full bowl, to an awesome overflowing one.

This was my first time at WikiFresh and definitely won't be my last. The food is fresh and so ono. I had the small bowl with the Caribbean turkey, mixed greens, steamed vegies, black beans, pineapple salsa with the pesto dressing😋🍽

Food was good and fresh (as the name would suggest). The salsas were great, definitely the most flavorful component of the meal. Portion sizes weren't generous, but certainly reasonable. Not my newest favorite spot, but I will likely be back to try their daily happy hour!

Many different options available...bowls, wraps, soft tacos, nachos... Lots of different toppings to choose from. Food is awesome, always fresh. Grilled chicken is consistently flavored well. Pesto sauce is delish. Download the Five-star app to get awesome deals. Workers are awesome. Downside, sometimes there are super long lines, long wait...they do have an online ordering option on their website, however pick up time is at least 15 min after ordering.

Yes, this place is the bomb; three tacos loaded to the hilt. Fresh, quick, clean and friendly. The bowls are big enough to share for a cheap date or to fill you up. If you're looking for a healthy meal on the go this is a good place to stop.

The food is good but the portion is inconsistent. I do not really mind if it is a little expensive but please change your gloves often for the customer safety. Do not use the same gloves to open the door, and touch other things, especially touching your hair or face, then serve food to all customers. The gloves mean to provide clean food, not just for protecting your hands. I would come here often if the service is cleaner. It really turns us away if we have to worry about getting Hep A.

Always love this place their homemade salsa are amazing! Kinda reminds me of Chipotle... But better! Fresh ingredients and great service. The facility is clean and has a very open feel to it. Highly recommend for a tasty healthier alternative.

Excellent food and drink combinations and I'll be back to enjoy more of the other menu options

We stopped by Ola Brew for a quick visit and decided to try their OG Beer Flight and a Porter Float. The beers were fantastic--each one had a distinct flavor profile, and it was a great way to experience their craftsmanship. The Porter Float was an interesting idea, but unfortunately, their freezer had a hiccup, and the ice cream had melted. It happens, and the staff handled it with grace and humor! Speaking of the staff--they were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The vibe was laid-back and enjoyable, and it wasn't too busy during our visit, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. Although we didn't try the food this time, we're looking forward to coming back to explore the menu further. If you're a fan of local brews and great service, Ola Brew is worth a stop!

I had been to the one in Kona but only for the brews. Here we tried a couple of appetizers and split the steak entree with a flight and then some more brews. The bao pork belly bun was delicious. Steak was awesome with chimichurri sauce. I wish our server had pointed out the available various sauces to get on the side Totally missed that. OK service and fun vibe. Sit at bar or wait for a table.

We stopped here as we came into Hilo for a day in the water. We grabbed some cans and a growler, then on the way home we'd stop by again for a refill. They moved from ciders to juices since my last visit to the island and we all approve. I love their donation offering to the local community.

Realized not all my pics posted for my review! Everything in my initial post remains the same. Bummed they didn't attach!

Visited Ola on a rainy day following my hike to the summit of Mauna Kea. Needless to say, I was absolutely starving, and Ola solved all my hunger problems right away. Their burger was perfectly cooked, the beer was refreshing, the fries were the right level of crispiness, and service was attentive. It's got the typical brewery+restaurant vibe, so if that's your thing you'll be right at home.

We went for quick drink before dinner-tasters of flights for beers and Seltzers kids got cheese quesadillas - plenty of seating inside. They were covering college football on multiple stations so great for a gathering. Service was fast and easy for the family. Parking on the side

Good beer and super yummy burger! Totally hit the spot after some snorkeling! Mahalo!

We arrived at lunch service and there was lots of room for seating available. A small parking lot is available in back. The food was fantastic, we opted for burgers and a fried chicken leg. Dark Cacao Altbier and Pineapple Juicy (hard juice). The burgers were juicy and delicious, the fries were great. The chicken leg was juicy and had a tempura style batter (subbed fries for mashed potatoes). We also had a pork belly bao bun and the bun was so fluffy and the pork belly was fantastic. The servers were friendly and attentive. The dining room was open, but not much of a view. Would def recommend giving this a try. The menu seems to rotate a bit as what we found online was not exactly what was available.

We ended here after our tour of OK farms. The food was delicious, the serve staff was wonderful and friendly and flights of drinks refreshing. I had the Caesar salad hit the spot, and the pork bao bun tangy, spiced and filling. It seems to be a local hot spot for great food and microbrew.

I come here literally for the staff. They are all so incredible!!!! I love that they are close to the airport so if you have a little of time before your flight, definitely swing by. The beer selection is really fun. They offer unique seltzers (which isn't really my thing but I always try a flight of the new local flavors). The smash burgers are incredibly filling! The gnocchi is actually fire, hot! And their Bao Buns are great if you need to eat something after a few beers but are too full for a full burger. Their menu has changes a little due to what's in season/available on island but that keeps things interesting and we get to try different things. On your way out, you can also purchase a 6 pack of whatever is in. They once had an IPL which was so unique I had to go back and buy more. I'm a big IPA fan, and the IPLager was a unique twist!

Easy to get seating, prompt service and okay food. Food Menu isn't as robust as other local breweries, but beers were good. Burgers were good, Brussels sprouts and fries were nice and salty. The Baos were okay.

Great service, delicious food and tasty beer! I really enjoyed the Bao buns filled with shrimp.

Friendly service. Waited about five minutes to order. We like the vibe and decor. Keiki liked his burger. Wasn't impressed with his fries. Husband was disappointed they didn't have bbq sauce or ranch for a burger. Which is pretty standard at a brewery. He also said the burger tasted kinda fishy. lemonade was tart and bubbly. Not expected. Kid says very weird. Bloody Mary was a 3. Breakfast burrito was good. Salad with it we didn't care for the dressing.

One of our most favorite places to visit on the Big Island. The beer is always spectacular, and a food is just as good. We started with the guacamole and chips and ended the evening with the fish tacos, which were so good! We're here for only a week but we will be making repeat visits.

Amazing atmosphere. Went for a late lunch. Wasn't packed. The Bao Buns were delish. If you want to try both the pork belly and she shrimp, eat the pork belly first. The pork belly was good, until I tried the shrimp and it was amazing. Unfortunately we ate them before I was able to snap a pic lol. However we also got the Caesar salad, which in my opinion was not a Caesar salad. The dressing was very light but did not taste like Caesar at all. I give it a 5 out of 10. The Ribeye was very well seasoned. Very flavorful. I would definitely recommend. Staff was very friendly. So welcoming.

This is a great spot to grab lunch while in Hilo! My co-worker recommended it when we were in town for work. We came on a rainy afternoon and were seated right away. Their menu is a bit limited but has some interesting looking dishes and a few staples you'd find in a bar. We both opted for water (work trip, remember?!), but their beer and drink selection looked really good. The non-alcoholic drinks sounded good too, but the glass they came in looked small for the price so I didn't order one. We both ordered the smash cheeseburger and fries with a side of herb aioli. I couldn't believe how fast our order came out...maybe 5 minutes? In any case, the burger was outstanding and totally delicious, and the fries were hot and crispy. The aioli was good and I had to enjoy the fries with some ketchup, too, of course. Service was prompt and they kept coming around to check on us multiple times, offering more water, etc. I really appreciated it. This would be a great place to have pupus and beers with friends!

food was amazing ; great service. We had the carbs after visiting the near by volcanoes. The burger was amazing along with regular fries.

We went on a Sunday so it is only the Sunday Brunch option. It is still varied enough. Since our daughter was with us we have to be vegetarian aware and they do not cross contaminate foods (very important for daughter and food allergies). She and I each had the flight of spike juices. YUM! My husband had the burger and said by far one of the best on Island he has had. I had the vegetarian gnocchi yup!! Must try! Daughter had the vegetarian breakfast burrito. She said it was super good. Our servers were so friendly and nice and really knew how to steer us with food choices. It is laid back environment which is always nice when choosing a place to eat. We have seen a lot of the Ola Brew's out and about and think we are so cool since we ate there

This is our four day in a row, we love the service, environment, food is amazing and so quick. The best burger I ever had. Everything is so clean and organized. We are definitely coming back.

We always get takeout here even we're in hilo. The appetizer is always a go to as well as the burger. Tried the gnocchi this time and was very yummy sauce. We called and the pickup was so quick and convenient! The parking was easy and would love to eat in when we have time next trip and get drinks. I've seen online that they host events inside. Also love the string light wall inside !

Stopped in for lunch and got some small plates. Had the curry fries and the cauliflower which were both great! I also got a flight of beer (and one hard juice) and was very satisfied with their offerings. They offer a few different flavors of hard juice which seems to be their split focus on brewing. The restaurant was very spacious but the oddity was that while there were plenty of windows, non of them opened so there wasn't much airflow in the space. The air definitely felt stale after being there over the course of an hour. It's a small complaint, but hey it felt worth mentioning.

We stopped in for lunch around 1p. The place was busy but had a lot of seating. There are open seating tables in the back where you sit with other people or you can wait for a high top or sit at the bar. They have merchandise when you first walk in - Pilsner glasses, hats, hydro flasks, bottle openers etc. After being seated, we waited about 20min before a server came by to take our order. I had the mahi burger special - a MUST have. The mahi was perfectly fried with a crispy panko outside and juicy center. The side salad had a deliciously light ginger dressing. I paired it with the Lilikoi lime milkshake IPA (more lime than Lilikoi). It was smooth and crisp. The service was pretty slow but remember that this is Hawaii and everything is a little slower than in the mainland. Be patient and kind. The food came out really quickly after we placed our order.

Fat & juicy! Get your heads out of the gutter, I meant the burger‍ super fresh tasting, homemade burgers! Tjey are doble-patty and very filling. The place has a cool open-air vibe, and good service. It was not to far from everything, and a locals feeling.

Second time I've visited this location. I was hungry when I got off the plane from Oahu, so I forgot food pictures! Had a smash burger with a side salad, and my guy had a burger and fries. I knew I could eat some of his fries . Food came out fast and hot. The fries were crispy, and the salad dressing was AMAZING! The burger fell apart pretty fast, so I ended up eating it with a knife and fork. Tasty burger with a great sauce. Ola beers, hard teas, hard seltzers, and hard juices are something I buy often. I always like to visit the brewery for those tap only offerings. Solid choices in any category. Overall, one of my favorite Hawai'i breweries. Had to grab a 6-pk of the Pineapple hard juice to go as they are donating 25% of profits from the sales to various Maui organizations for wellness and mental health support for fire victims INDEFINITELY!

ola brewing food: tofu burger: pickles and aoli bring this together well. the tofu is a nice size and crispy. 4.5/5 wanted a little more flavor from the tofu itself. shrimp bao bun: the star of the show 10/10 recommend. sweet glaze and crunchy shrimp with the neutral bun. Drinks: dark chocolate orange hard cider : slightly bitter with subtle orange notes pairs well with the shrimp. portion size: well sized portions service: staff was nice and attentive. Ambiance: great for any group. Parking: parking lot on site Payment: apple pay and card are both options. not sure about cash

Great experience. Brittany took good care of my husband and me. We enjoyed the shrimp and pork bao buns, and the smash burger. Delicious! Would highly recommend.

Listen, I enjoy beer, so of course I'm going to stop in here. We were here just for drinks, not food, so maybe next time. Pros: great beer. Good clientele. They clearly have their fans in town, and it shows (and they invest in the local community!). We also ran into another couple from Ohio, who dropped tips about where to go to spot some sea turtles in the wild! The bartenders we talked to were knowledgeable of the drinks in house, of the food nearby (we mentioned going to Kamana Indian and the bartender was a) jealous and b) insistent we get the garlic-cheese naan, and was spot on). The con: At sunset, the sun shines DIRECTLY into the bar, and they don't seem to have shades in place at the moment. So bring some of your own to avoid being blinded for a bit. But that's like the worse thing I can say about it. Oh, and we walked around the corner, not realizing the ramp lead to their entrance, so a giant arrow saying "enter this way, dumb tourists" would help )

excellent food! excellent service! You will not be disappointed! The lilil guava cider was awesome!

Always a good choice. I had the Ola burger with the hazy ipa. Service was great and the ambiance was good. Not too noisy. Busy time for Merrie Monarch.

Funny enough, when I saw a few months ago that Southwest was running significantly-discounted flights from California to Hawaii we had to take advantage of, visiting Ola was one of the main reasons I originally suggested to my wife that we visit the big island rather than just spending a week in Honolulu - I'd been wanting to try their locally-sourced hard juices and hard teas (which they don't distribute to the mainland) since they opened a few years back. I was *really* hoping their new 'okolehao spirit ready to try, sadly it's still in production (I'm sure it'll be ready soon, now that I'm not going to be back in Hawaii for years, probably. You can see their ti farm from the road, on the way to Akaka falls, though!). Anyway, we just got back from that trip - though food-wise, writing this review is *slightly* bittersweet, in that, while I was, fundamentally, here for the hard juices/teas, I was also very excited to try their bao, especially the mushroom and the confit duck bao. When I saw they also had a separate Sunday brunch menu featuring confit duck and waffles, I made sure to put that on the list, as well as trying them for dinner the following day. So we get there for brunch, me and my wife split an order of pork belly egg benedict and an order of confit duck and waffles, both of which were truly excellent (great quick service, too). Then I arrive back the following evening, only to learn, by some freak coincidence, the previous day, we were there for the *literal* last day either the mushroom bao or the duck confit were on the menu (I've checked - it's not on the brunch menu anymore, either). So while I can say that the duck confit was some of the best I'd had, possibly *the* best I'd had... that doesn't help anyone very much. The pork belly, which they are still serving as an eggs benedict for Sunday brunch and in a bao the rest of the time, was also quite good, though I wouldn't necessarily say it was the best I'd ever had. Same with the shrimp bao - though they're not particularly large, for $6.50 each. My wife had the burger, which was a solid burger but also nothing exceptional - other than the optional upgrade to a side of curry fries, which I *would* strongly recommend. So at this point, I would certainly come back to Ola if I were back on the big island to see what new beers, juices and/or teas they'd come out with, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get food while I was here - unless they brought back the duck! I was also somewhat sad to discover, when we got there first Sunday for lunch, then Monday for dinner, that they apparently only restock their beer once a week (sounds like it's all brewed at their other taproom in Kona), and that restock day, currently, is Wednesday, so they didn't have everything on their printed menu available. That said, I did indeed get to try several hard juices and teas (a couple were out of stock that day, though I was also happy to discover they're also available from nearby grocery stores, albeit only in 6-packs, vs draft and single cans available at the tasting room. Better prices per can at the grocery store though!) The hard juices tasted exactly like I expected - ie like juicy juices that happened to also be alcoholic. The tulsi berry hard tea tasted like a great tropical herbal tea, the lemongrass mint hard tea tasted like fresh-brewed lemon mint black tea... they also had a solid lilikoi-lime milkshake IPA, and a pretty solid porter (made with local kiawe mesquite!), though I get the impression some of these rotate pretty often. I do love how so many of their liquid offerings use local Hawaiian ingredients! Just wish they could figure out a profitable way to distribute them to California - I had high expectations for the hard teas and juices, and they *did* live up to those expectations. So, I stocked up, but I only had so much luggage space.

This is a nice brewpub which we discovered on our recent stay in Hilo. The beer range is fairly limited but they had several beers on tap and the ones we had, a brown ale and pale lager, were both very good. However, much of the menu was made up of hard seltzers rather than actual beer. The food we had, the roasted pork belly dish with watercress, etc., was excellent. The pork belly had an excellent crispy texture while the dressing and other condiments made an excellent combination of flavours and textures. The place is a bit brightly lighted and stark inside, yet somehow manages still to feel pretty comfortable and pleasant. Service was friendly and excellent.

We stopped here as part of a tour. The beer was solid and they have flights available. If you talk to the locals, the food here to get is the burger. I got the dan dan gnocchi to do something different. It was alright, but the burger was better. The beer uses a lot of fruit that they get from nearby OK Farms. Good way to sample some local food and beer.

My fam and I were supper hungry after hiking for hours at Nat'l Volcano. Fortunately, Ola Brew was one of the few places that were still open on the way back to Hilo on a Saturday night. Service was excellent! They were very attentive and super quick. We got the smash burgers and the brussels sprouts, and both were tasty and just hit the spot! My husband also had a flight of beer. Besides the food, the ambiance was awesome! A guitarist was playing in the corner with good acoustics! As the night went on, more people came- mostly locals. It seems that this is one of the happening places on the island. Would go back, again!! FYI: If you're a tourist like us and find yourself slightly wet ( it drizzled on our way back to our car from our hike) from one of your adventures, change or bring a light sweater if you have extra clothes... They keep their A.C pretty low. I was shivering the whole time.

Stopped here for lunch and was excited to eat at a brewery on the island. The food here was very different and I was not a fan of most things we ordered. They have one burger choice and a couple others, but not a whole lot. A lot of options are vegan which is probably why it tasted off to me. The Brussel sprouts were really good, but I was not a fan of the pork baos or the Caesar salad. We left here hungry and didn't finish our food. Cool ambiance and location though. Prices were pretty typical, $18 for a burger, $6 per pork bao, $24 for the Caesar salad.

We were visiting Hilo and my husband really wanted to check this place out. We had a large party and called ahead that there was a long wait, so my sister and brother-in-law, went ahead for about 30 minutes to try to get a table. We were warned about the long wait and there were 11 of us, so I didn't think that was unreasonable. They could also enjoy a couple beers while they waited. Our host was really nice and initially took us to a high top. She saw that we had a couple babies with us, and changed us to a lower table, which was so nice. We had 2 high chairs so a high top would have been challenging. The beer was great! The food is also really interesting, but surprisingly good. I tried all 3 bao's, and everyone said their burgers and the pasta were good. Our server was really fast and noticed his mistake of bringing out a tofu burger instead of a regular burger right away. The bao dessert was also really interesting, but we had to try it! It tasted like churros. I didn't love that there was only a changing table in the women's bathroom and not the men's. The bathroom was also not in great shape, there was garbage around and it wasn't super clean. But other than the bathroom situation, the experience was good and I'm glad we went.

Very nice here. When you walk in you're greeted by staff and they're so kind. I sat at the bar. I think it needs some deep cleaning because there's many flies. I didn't care. I got the hard seltzer fries and house salad to balance out to be healthy lol they're all good. House salad is basic...nothing special but the ginger miso dressing was refreshing. It was nice. The curry fries have a little kick of Thai curry flavor which I adore. I tried the lemongrass seltzer and it is spot on with the lemongrass flavor which I kindly declined and went for the hibiscus lavender. You could also do a flight! Good music and nice and cool break from the outdoor's humidity. Definitely recommend.

We stopped by while trying to kill time before our flight at nearby Hilo airport. The brewery is big and spacious with cool vibes. My dad and I had a beer flight and a hard seltzer/juice flight which we enjoyed but the real star of Ola Brewery was the dessert we had! We had just had lunch at a nearby restaurant and nearly too full to think about eating anymore but the ice cream bao immediately caught my attention and I knew I needed to try it. It's bao buns fried to perfection, covered with cinnamon sugar with a side of ice cream and delicious caramel. It tasted like churros and it was to die for! Come for the beer but also for the ice cream bao!!

Oh, how I wish they delivered beer outside of Hawaii. The food here is wonderful. The beer is even better. Have you had a chance to try all their flights? I wish I had a stronger tolerance to do more tastings. I love the ambiance of this location. Highly recommend Ola for those who enjoy tasting various beers and even those who like sweeter options. Great place for a girls' night!

This place was one of few open late when we arrived. I made the sad mistake of ordering a tofu burger. It was literally a brick of tofu, grilled and seasoned, on a hamburger bun. It was quite disappointing. My kiddo had a standard keiki cheese burger and it was pretty ok. The curry fries were good, but honestly could have been better. Service was great and the hostess and wait staff were very friendly. There was a live band or something happening the evening we were there and the hostess was kind enough to let us sit further away from the speakers. The restaurant itself definitely throws off brewery/bar vibes but seems kid friendly enough.

The Tofu Sandwich was ONOLICIOUS! I had it with curry fry's this time Soursop cider was a great new addition.

I first visited this place in 2021 and was blown away; the food was amazing. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to the flavors of Ola Brew. I don't know why they changed their recipes, but it was definitely a mistake. This place no longer holds any appeal. The customer service remains excellent-- their staff is the best. However, the food is another story. They set the bar very high in 2021, but now it is well below what I've come to expect from Ola Brew. I kept coming back, hoping they'd revert to what they were, like trying to save a marriage when you know it's over, hoping this time things will be different, only to end up disappointed and unsatisfied again. I've asked my friends, and they all feel the same way. The food is not the same; it's not as good as it used to be. Therefore, I will no longer return to Ola Brew, nor will I recommend it to others. I really miss the lechon and gnocchi of 2021 !

Great place to grab some drinks or catch a game with friends. I ordered a flight and enjoyed the dragonfruit lemonade the best. I wanted to buy a pack for the road but unfortunately they did not have any. The art on the walls were welcoming and nice. I couldn't find parking in the lot but was able to snag a spot across the street. No issues with service or having to wait for a table. Overall, I had a positive experience here!

Super good. Nice draft selection and also cider selections. Nap Bun appetizer was excellent. We shared the pork belly and a shrimp. Both excellent! Staff is super attentive and even more friendly. Beers are excellent and will meet any palate. Very clean establishment. Ask for the husband and wife team; they are great folks.

We had such a great time we Went back today again. Brew selection is great. Foods are awesome. Service is prompt. Very casual ambience. Will be back.

We had some beer and snacks. They were excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was typical brewery restaurant style and perfectly okay for us.

Perhaps I shouldn't be shocked that a Hawaiian brewhouse served me the best drinks and food (other than fresh fruit I scored from farmer's markets) out of everything I tried during my 9 day stay on the big island. The lady and I were looking at several of the top-Yelp-ranked places in Hilo for our final dinner in town and Ola Brew seemed to have the chillest vibe. Indeed, the vibe was chill, but the eats and drinks were even better. I had a beer flight, she had a hard seltzer and hard juice flight - and then, she liked the hard juice enough to get a second flight (to try the rest of the flavors!) and I went for another beer pour by the end of the eve. The waiter was very accommodating of my girlfriend's dietary needs (no onion or garlic - pretty hard to do with Hawaiian food!) as well as her drink tastes (dry, not too sweet). The pork bao was shockingly good - I did not expect to enjoy it THAT much. The meat was loaded with flavor and the kimchi was exceptional. Brussels sprouts were good too (seems like they used an entire head of garlic for it) and I also enjoyed the tofu burger, very well balanced between the condiments and deep-fried tofu. Girlfriend had the steak and fries and loved it. Seems like this spot is also popular with locals. Thank you, Ola Brew, for such a great experience.

Great beer, great food and great service! Thank y'all for a wonderful experience. Fries were to die for and we loved all the beer selections. The waitstaff made some great recommendations and the bao buns were so good... we literally tried them all and then ordered seconds! (TIP skip the pasta -- it was the only thing we did NOT enjoy) otherwise highly recommend. Great location in Hilo by the farmers market and just good vibes all around. Mahalo!

Loved Ola brew! We actually visited both the Kona location (where you can see the brewing) and this one in Hilo. Even though Kona is the original, this one is SO much nicer! It is big, bright and open. They have a larger menu and wait staff. Parking is available too. Lots of big TVs and room to move! We went on a Sunday and they did have a last call for food in the mid afternoon, so they must have a portion of the day that they reset, but you can still get beer. I had their Ola burger, which is a double with their Ola sauce (which is the one thing that I wasn't that jazzed with). Loved their beers and their merch, although they seemed out of every single t-shirt I wanted! Service was good and loved the vibe. I would recommend!
