    Another terrific evening at Jackie Ray’s The food (scallops and mochiko swordfish) was delicious, and the service (shout out to Etu F) was outstanding. This is the definitely best restaurant for supper in Kailua Kona.

    We always enjoy this restaurant, we eat here every year on our annual trip to Kona. Brad was an excellent server. We had the coconut shrimp, daily chef specials and the dessert board is excellent.

    Excellent food and drinks but very small portions and pours. Luckily we had a window table or else there was not much ambience to the restaurant. Service was about average at best. Prices were very high considering the sizes, but all the food and drinks were very good. All considered, we will still come back when we return to Kona in a few months.

    Most incredible food. All three of us were extremely pleased and commended the chef and sous chef who was also our waiter! the only thing keeping it from A+ across the board was the noisy drainage grates folks drive over to enter the entrance/street as we were seated closest to it and it was absurdly noisy and the city should fix it. You jumped from the noice almost every time someone drove in.

    Here’s a review based on our experience: Jackie Rey’s in Hawaii I had the pleasure of dining at Jackie Ray’s, and it was truly an excellent experience. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, flavorful, and just the right temperature. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise. The ambiance was inviting and pleasant, although it leaned a bit on the noisy side. But honestly, I was so captivated by that beautifully prepared steak that the noise faded into the background. If you’re looking for a place that delivers a stellar meal with a relaxed vibe, Jackie Rey’s is a must-visit. Highly recommended by our concierge and we agree -1000%

    The staff was rude and didn’t care about guests. Hard to believe that they still expect tip after being unfriendly and rude the whole evening!
