Merriman's Big Island

“Stylish haunt with an inventive menu that merges global flavors, plus a beer garden & live music. Cute atmosphere with good food!”

“This cafe has good food and coffee and is a wonderful gathering place for the community. Feel free to ask people for recommendations for places to go or for general info. It can get crowded, so not great if in a hurry. But if you are on Island Time and want to linger and absorb a bit of Waimea (Kamuela), this is a good place for it! Open for breakfast & lunch (till 3) every day, closes at 5:30 pm most days (closes 3 pm on Sunday).”

“Sushi and more! Every day from 5:30pm to 6:30pm they have 25% off their menu. Must call for a reservation. Outside of their front door on Friday evenings free local Hula show.”

“Always love to go here and have some great tasting snacks with a locally brewed micro-brew. It has a great outside lanai and also the inside has a very cool charm. I think I had probably one of my favorite burgers here ... I would combine a visit here on a Saturday when I visit the numerous farmers markets in Waimea.”

“Great seafood, burgers (especially the Poke burger!), pupu's and cocktails in a funky old Hawaii style restaurant/bar setting. They're one of the few places that serve food late in this area. Great staff!”
