We stopped at K’s Drive-In while passing through Hilo. It’s got that old-school local vibe, nothing fancy, just a big menu, good prices, and a steady flow of locals coming through.
I had the kalua pork burger, and it was solid. Smoky, flavorful, and way better than I expected for something that came out of a little walk-up diner. The portions were generous, and the prices felt fair for what you get.
The twist cone after lunch hit the spot, definitely worth trying if you stop by.
Staff was friendly and helpful, even with my kids asking a bunch of questions about the menu. It’s not super quick, but they take care with the orders.

Some of my friends know me as "B-U-T-A", which means in Japanese as "PIG". Yeah, I LOVE to eat, as the saying goes, You eat to live. But I live to eat. Always have been. And K's is the kind of place I've always "HANG OUT". I LOVE the old mustard/mayonnaise yellow sauce on the hamburgers, lunchrooms, okazuyas, saimin stands and of course Drive-Inns. And as MANY people know, there has been MANY drive inns in the past, and most of them have since closed. I am ecstatic that we still have places like K's. It's nothing fancy, just good old "solid" grinds. Portions have always been good, taste has always been good, prices have always been good, and selection has always been good. Hard to beat...
