Pete's Belly Bustazs — Restaurant in Hawaii

A little mom & pop store where the people are super-friendly and there's a nice variety of food to choose from: everything from burgers, fries, and sandwiches, to tacos, quesadillas, and chili, to various local and Asian foods (there's also a nice selection of breakfast choices). You'd have to be pretty seriously picky to not find something to like here. They aren't open for dinner, but are a great place for breakfast and lunch.

Update: so I moved away from Hilo for four years, moved back, and the first time I showed up again they recognized me through the mask and hat I was wearing. Felt amazing. 😄 It's a little different now physically as you stay outside to order, but the service is still the same...

I love Pete's Belly Bustazs ❣ The owners are very nice. I recently had the Hawaiian plate, which had the biggest laulau I've ever seen sold at a retail establishment. It had lots of lu'au and even fish 🐟. Also, anytime I need to fast before doing labs, I use the small Clinical Labs on the 2nd floor ( little to no wait time ). For anyone having to fast for 12 hours prior to testing, this is the best way. Food is...

$$$ Blame it on "Shrinkflation?" I believe the portion size was small for the price. $12 for one Mahi burger with cheap buns, and not a whole lot of fries... didn't have to skimp on the fries... a bit dissapointing. No coleslaw either... 😭 Mahi patties were small and thin. Maybe it was an off day... maybe other items are a better deal? I will try other plates and will see if it...
