South Kona Eats
Posted on: Tuesday, January 17, 2012
In addition to wonderful Mi’s, there are several other excellent eateries in South Kona to look forward to during your stay. Here are a couple of our other favorites. Prepare to eat well here!
Just up the hill on the highway heading south (again about a ten-minute drive from the Inn) there’s an excellent pizzeria called Patz Pies that offers high-quality pizza with a home-made hand-tossed crust (which clearly has some whole wheat in it because it has an excellent chew), pasta dishes, and delicious salads. Bring it home to enjoy with local beer on the lanai at sunset, or pay a little extra to have it delivered (a novelty in South Kona). Our favorite pizza is "Da Works" with pepperoni, sausage, olives, spinach, onions, and peppers, which comes with a lovely salad of fresh local greens, onion, pepper, feta and homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
Next to Patz Pies is the new Up Country Cafe which specializes in chewy delicious bagels, and also offers espresso drinks, smoothies, juices, and other baked treats.
About a fifteen minute drive north from the Inn on highway 11 is Annie’s Burgers and Brew, a wonderful newer restaurant featuring gorgeous local burgers made with delicious local beef. Annie’s is one of those rare places that is open from lunch through dinner, so it’s an excellent choice for a late lunch or early dinner. The burgers are delicious and the portions generous, and there are even fish and vegetarian options. Our favorite burger features local mushrooms, local arugula, and blue cheese. The dining room is airy, open, cool and relaxing, and the service friendly. Make sure to save room for their homemade chocolate pudding for dessert – it’s cold, smooth, and very rich - a dark-chocolate lover’s heaven. http://www.anniesislandfreshburgers.com/index.html
