Great service and atmosphere. It was a busy Friday night so the food and drinks took a very long time to come out, but it was worth the wait. The dirty Ulu fries are the best!

The service was excellent! We were seated outside with a great view of magic sands beach where we enjoyed watching sea turtles and fish with the waves as people snorkeled while waiting for our food. Our waitress was excellent-helpful, accommodating and friendly. Food did not take long and was nice and was nice and hot. The panko chicken stack was very good and the wings were delicious. The catch of the day meunière was delicious and my fish (Mahi mahi) was cooked perfectly. Husband had the fish and chips and a bowl of chowder which he didn’t particularly like, felt it was bland and the fish was petty dry, likely over cooked. Cocktails were unique but just okay.

Nice place to spend the afternoon and enjoy the beautiful view! The turtles were an extra bonus!!! I’m back for more today 😁

Great food, great staff and amazing view! Will 100% be going back before we leave

Quality of food very good, but priced too high for portion size. Also, menu too limited with too much emphasis on local type food offerings. More food options needed.

We've been on the Kona Coast for two weeks and eaten everywhere. Magic Grill served us the best dinner of every place we dined. Outstanding!

Setting cannot be beat! Right on the ocean, most tables outdoors, lovely. The outside looks like you are walking into to something much lower end than the reality. So, don’t drive by and think, that doesn’t look special. Make a reservation! While we were waiting for our table, at least 10 parties came in without reservations, and all were turned away because they were fully booked.

We visited in January. We decided to return because we enjoyed the food and location. Our lunch was just as good as the first time. We had amazing cocktails: Coconut Mai Tai and the Get Fresh with were fresh and delicious. Our waiter suggested the Ulu wedges. They were delicious. We had never had Ulu/breadfruit. The Ono fish and chips were so crispy and fresh. The location is beautiful. We watched all sorts of fish swimming in the surf.

You're not paying for the food, you're paying for the view. Get a table outside to make the most bang for your buck. Ask about the bartender's special non-alcoholic drink of the day!

Good service, good view, difficult manu
