Family friendly, the foods were great! I had Nacho Poke for a starter and shrimp and short rib mix. Delicious! Husband said it's the best meal he had during the big island. ? View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Roy's WAIKOLOA Grill:
Definitely not the Roy's that it used to be. The place looked so run down. The seats had all sorts of cracks and were peeling and so old and uncomfortable. The food has not changed much in 20 years and it wasn't really all that good. The surf and turf had chewy lobster and super bland corn. The ahi was ok but they now only give you overcooked sticky rice, used to be delicious black rice. The molten cake had no molten... View all feedback.

Very solid place for a nice dinner. Came here with a party of 6 and 2 of us tried the Prix Fixe. For apps we got the poke nachos and boar rangoons, both were beautiful and crisp and tasted super. The boar rangoons were interesting with a filling that reminded me of steactars with some fruit Chutney. For Entrees we tried some fish dishes and the fish was perfectly cooked. For Dessert we ordered the bakery basket from the Prix Fixe Macadamia Nut-Teerte and bread pudding. The tart crust was not hard like other places? and the pastry basket had a nice mix of roasted fruits: strawberries, peaches and pineapples. Service was top notch and everyone was friendly and attentive.
A wonderful experience. The fastest service I've ever experienced. About 5 minutes after our order they were before us! The food was amazing, the Macadamia nuts entrusted Mahi Mahi (picture) was beautiful and flaky. Many compliments were also given to the steak (image). They were even friendly enough to share parts in the kitchen, as some people had different temperature preferences. Our server was very friendly and we had a great window view. We also had the pineapples on the head and chocolate soufflé for dessert. Both were incredible! One thing to note is that it is a restaurant with a higher end, so that the portions become smaller and the prices are higher. However, the quality of food and service was worth for this experience.
We've been coming to Roys for many years. We haven't been able to travel for a few years, but finally back to Waikoloa. We found our latest experience was still a good, despite reading that it had gone downhill. Our server was great, the food was great and we had a great time. Our party of 4 had most fish dishes and the fish was perfectly cooked. The chocolate souffle is one of the best desserts of all time. It seemed that the souffle was smaller than before? But it was still brilliant and I don't need it to be bigger! Prices have certainly risen, but in these days everything is more expensive. Overall, I highly recommend a fine culinary experience.
We?ve been going to various Roy?s locations for the last 10 years, but this was our first time here. The food did not disappoint, as always. The ambiance was fine, although not terribly fancy considering the price tag. Overall we had a lovely dinner here with a large group of folks. Appetizers: We ordered the blackened ahi, wild boar wontons, Szechuan ribs, crab cakes, and Brussels sprouts. Of these, the crab cakes, wontons, and Brussels sprouts were the favorites. The crab cake was thick and flavorful; the wontons had a tasty juxtaposition between the savoriness of the boar and sweetness of the chutney, and the Brussels sprouts were crispy and had a nice charred flavor. The ahi was the most disappointing ? it was fine, but nothing special. Meals: The group ordered several meals, including the misoyaki butterfish (a favorite! , mekajiki, and the mixed grill. The butterfish was flavorful, tender, and utterly delicious. The mekajiki was also nice, albeit a bit heavier and less flavorful than the butterfish. The best thing about the mixed grill was the potato gratin ? otherwise the fish and meat that came with this entree were fine but nothing spectacular. Dessert: The group ordered several chocolate cakes and pineapple cakes. The chocolate cake never disappoints in delivering thick, gooey decadence with zing from the raspberry sauce. The pineapple cake was also delicious, just not my preference. Overall, this restaurant is consistent with the quality of other Roy?s locations and would be a solid place to have a nicer meal!
