Tasty! - Edit
The poké and burritos were tasty, and the smoothie was delicious. The patio was fine for the location (in a parking lot by a busy-ish road), but it’s probably a better idea to use the drive through window and take it somewhere more scenic.

Inventive food truck - Edit
Found this pop-up restaurant while driving around Kona. So glad found it as we went for dinner and then breakfast the next day. Good food, what you see is what you get. Wish there was something to add to the breakfast sandwich.

Pretty tasty! - Edit
We got the breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese which was pretty good but I would have liked some veggies on it! Salad was very big and delicious! Donuts were off the hook. Would definitely come back to this place. #Veganuary

Yummy but imperfect - Edit
The food here is pretty good! I tried the chili dog and chicken burrito and they definitely satisfied me. They just weren’t the most flavorful and well put-together vegan options I’ve ever had. Definitely worth a stop if you’re vegan and want to have a full menu available, but not the best food I had during the trip
Read morePros: All-vegan menu, Outdoor, covered seating
Cons: Meh flavors

Local vegan place here in Kona, great comfort food, great atmosphere. - Edit
My son and I had the hotdog and the Pono burger. Fresh veggies with it, no culinary exploration, but just tasty comfort food. That is exactly what we wanted. Happy customers.

Good but not great - Edit
Had the animal lover pizza and a slice of cheese cake.
Read moreThe pizza toppings are decent, but the base is too dense and burnt.
Cheese cake is too sugary and out of shape, it melts like an ice cream.

Loved it and will be back! - Edit
So great to find an all vegan place in Kailua. We had the Jackfruit nacho and the Love the Sea Chickpea ("tuna") salad. Very tasty. Portions are large , but we soldiered through!
Read moreI saw some negative reviews in the last week, and I have to wonder if they were at the same place? If so, maybe someone was having an off day. Of course any restaurant can have an off day, and so can a reviewer.
If there's a downside, it's that the vibe is "parking lot". But you knew that when you walked up! It's really convenient for their drive up carry out trade and the outdoor seating is solid and well protected. Little traffic while we were here. So I, for one, forgot that we were in a parking lot at all! Wait? Is that a downside?
Pros: All vegan all the time

i have mixed feelings about this. - Edit
i’d love to rate higher but don’t feel this was a 4-star meal.
Read morei had the chick’n caesar salad. the chick’n was delicious as was the dressing. the salad was of only one kind and therefore a little bland. there was nothing that added a little crunch (e.g. seeds or flax)
i asked if i could swap the vegan parmesan for anything else (as i don’t like cheese) but could only order it without. i then asked if they could put the parmesan on my husband’s burger and the guy taking my order said yes but i was asked to pay for it, which confused me a lot.
all in all it was nice to find a vegan place on Big Island that wasn’t super expensive but the experience won’t make me come back.
Pros: all vegan!, healthy options
Cons: salad a little boring, burger not the best, weird customer experience

If You Love Gardein... - Edit
(I'm forced by HappyCow to give Herbivores two stars for being vegan, They deserve between one and zero.)
Read moreIt's not often that a place serves food so bad it makes me angry, but here we are. My wife and I live in Pahoa but were in Kona to hit Costco (of course). After reading all the glowing reviews for this place, we were excited to add it to our agenda for the day.
We ordered the Pono Burger, because it looked like their signature burger, and the Chick'n Sandwich, along with a lemonade and slice of apple pie. Including parking, we dropped over $60. The patties in both sandwiches were both clearly defrosted Gardein-type garbage, complete with visible freezer burn. The buns appeared to be from a supermarket. Each had a squirt of mayo and ketchup. (Ketchup on a chicken sandwich?) There were scraps of lettuce, onion, and tomato, all of which were flavorless. The chips were plain Kettle Chips. The pie was actually tasty, so clearly they bought it from somewhere else.
Here's the thing: If they'd at least tried to craft homemade versions but failed, I'd respect them for putting some effort into it. But they didn't. This is the laziest food I've ever eaten from a restaurant. It's what a mean, alcoholic mom would make her kid before she rushes to the casino for the night. I don't understand why someone who cares so little about making food, let alone good food, would open a restaurant, other than as a cynical cash-grab from an underserved vegan community.
What if this were an omnivore's first time eating vegan food? Why would they ever try it again? A place this bad turns people away from veganism and ultimately hurts animals. I'm mystified by all the positive reviews. Vegan restaurants don't deserve praise simply for being vegan. They deserve praise for giving a damn, which Herbivores obviously does not.
Pros: Good apple pie, Had sriracha, which I haven't seen in months
Cons: Awful, expensive food, $8 parking, Terrible music blasting at top volume

Great! - Edit
We went to this place twice.
Read moreHad the lodes nachos a couple of times which were really wonderfully smokey and spicy and tasty.
Taro ba urged was good, but we had hoped that chips meant fries here (as did some of the North Americans waiting in the queue- but it doesn’t! They’re just crisps which was a bit of a disappointment.
Also enjoyed the smoothies - which are priced quite highly - but are good and would recommend the strawberry one in particular
Pros: Very tasty. Taco dish is exceptional, Decent value (4 food element. Drinks higher end), Friendly staff
Cons: In the middle of a car park/ing lot.

Special was good - Edit
The chik’n burrito was very good. Got it to go and it was nicely sliced in half so I can have half later on my way home to the East side.

Great and convenient food! - Edit
Walked up to Herbivores after a long day of flying. Ended up going with one of their daily specials and it was delicious! Price was reasonable, and the staff were really friendly. They even filled up my water bottle with ice water for me while I waited. Planning on going back again today!

Amazing! - Edit
We ordered the margarita and Hawaiian pizza, jackfruit nachos and the Caesar salad with taro (chik’n was sold out). Pizzas were solid, very very good. Nachos were super flavorful. The salad was good but the taro gave thanksgiving stuffing vibes. This place does was great!

Oasis in the middle of a parking lot - Edit
Stopped here for lunch. It’s literally in the middle of a parking lot but has shaded seats outdoors as well as a drive thru. We had the jackfruit BBQ nachos and two tofu poke bowls. The staff were so nice. The jackfruit nachos were fantastic and, even though I’m not a fan of jackfruit, they’ve really done a good job of it. While my carnivorous husband thought the tofu poke was a little on the salty side I thought it was really good and flavorful. I could go back here again and again.

Easy stop for vegan food - Edit
This was very convenient to drive through or stop at and the staff was really friendly. I had the poke one time and the jackfruit nachos the next time. I wished the poke was a little larger portion and the Jack fruit nachos were a little too sweet for me. But over all, lots of options and would come try more dishes next time.
Read morePros: All vegan, Pretty quick, Like that they had no oil no sugar options

Our favorite food in Kona. - Edit
We ate here several times throughout the week we were there. So good. I loved the southwestern breakfast burrito. My family loved the nachos. The chocolate chip cookies were so good. The only bummer is they were out of chik'n the whole week we were there, so there were several menu items we wanted to try but couldn't.

Great Vegan Food near Kona Airport - Edit
We ordered the nachos, chili dog and chocolate cake. The jackfruit nachos were smoky and delicious. The chili on the chili dog was very tasty. The chocolate cake was a huge, rich treat! We’re coming back for more!
