Eagle's Lighthouse Cafe — Restaurant in Hawaii

Prices almost doubled on the sandwiches, but besides that… This place isn't fancy but it is definitely cozy with very inspirational quotes all over their walls. The staff is always kind. Sometimes there is a line to wait to order, but you're never waiting too long, but it's worth the wait if you do! 🤗 Eagle's Lighthouse has some of the best grinds! 🤤 I go there for my lunch breaks when I'm in the area almost every time, and I usually get a sandwich, along with their famous brownie. Well, I consider it famous anyway, because they make my day much better! AMAZING! 🤗 If you dont see them, ask for them! Big enough to share. Their sandwiches are excellent, packed with a good amount of protein, cheese and veggies. Will not dissappoint! Their prices did go up a little but not like other places where they inflate their prices a lot and shrink their portion sizes... all n all it's a good price for what you get. Let's fight inflation! ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK! Anywho, like I said, will not disappoint. There's no inside seating for eating but they have plenty of tables outside. And I usually tip a buck or two if I have the cash. They appreciate it very much! Looking forward to my next visit! Mmmmm! I'm getting hungry just...

We were a little surprised after seeing the strong set of good reviews to walk into this joint.

We stopped for a quick coffee and breakfast on our way to the park. Coffee options were that from a gas station-style dispenser and most breakfast options (maybe minus the fried rice?) seemed to be prepackaged from Costco or the like. My husband’s breakfast sandwich felt like some Jimmy Dean. Overall, it was kinda a bummer. We were hoping for more.

The facility was also kinda cramped. The order station is a 6’x6’ area between cases with a really nice guy trying manage folks coming and going. Once outside, it was okay. There’s patio tables and benches, thankfully all covered from the rain.

So we really wanted to like this place. It just wasn’t our best visit in Volcano and its village. We may try again a different...

UP FRONT, this is a TINY place, with out door seating, where you order your food from a tiny cafeteria-style counter inside. If you are looking for a sit-down restaurant with 5-star waiters and white table cloths, this is NOT your place.

HOWEVER, for a lunch counter this place is EXCELLENT. All of the food I've had has been great. The sandwiches are large and fully stuffed with fresh meats, cheeses and fixings, the desserts are delicious, as are the soups. Their breadfruit salad (a bit like potato or macaroni salad) is also good. My personal favorite is a sandwich with cranberry mac-nut bread. The staff (all two of them) are quiet, but friendly and efficient.

Any time I'm in that area, that's where I...
