Great menu, mediocre food and service

We ate at Herbivores twice during our visit to Kona. Their menu is excellent for vegans who are also gluten free, with many options to choose from. Our first visit, we tried the nachos with vegan chicken, taro burger, tofu poke bowl and jackfruit sandwich. The taro burger was underwhelming at best. The poke was just ok. The nachos were ok, but the chicken was extremely bland. The jackfruit sandwich was the best item of the bunch. The side of purple potatoes was depressing (boiled, sliced potatoes with no seasoning). The next visit, we ordered breakfast food which was better (although easier to make a decent bagel with vegan cream cheese and tomatoes!) - and three cheers for gluten free bagels! However, we ordered and waited right by the window for over 30 minutes and the food never came out! We peered inside and tried to figure out what was going on. Finally we went back to the counter to find out where our food was, and they told us it was just sitting there, but no one bothered to tell us the food was ready. Im glad Herbivores exists, but wish they would up their game on flavors and service.

Pros: Menu variety, Gluten free friendly

Cons: Flavor on many items is bland, Service is not that good

Amazing experience

Don’t have enough nice things to say about this place. Not only was the food amazing, but on each table they had reading material about the benefits of veganism. Highly recommend the Caesar Salad & the rice paper BLT.

MUST TRY.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Vegan activism, Use fresh herbs from garden at restaurant

Cute and delicious!

We went for lunch and it was so good. It’s a cute little shack with outdoor seating but it IS literally in a parking lot so not really scenic. We got the chili dog and the bbq jackfruit and dragon fruit smoothies. Everything was incredibly delicious and the portions were good sizes. We will certainly be back!

Pros: All vegan options, Fairly affordable for Hawaii, Good portion sizes

Cons: It’s in a parking lot

The Jackfruit Nachos are Soo Good!

Food cart with outdoor seating area. There are three different menus depending on the time of day you eat there. Definitely try the jackfruit nachos. They are truly amazing.

Quality Vegan Pizza

I ate here again... and the pizza is pretty damn good. The toppings were absolutely delicious, but the undercarriage was undercooked. When I inevitably return, I’ll ask for the pizza “well done”.

Pros: Plants, plants, and more plants, I’m happy when I eat here , You didn’t murder any animals eating here

Cons: Dough was undercooked

Solid

Overall I usually have a good experience here. Lots of options to pick from. I could have enjoyed some more flavor in a bowl and sandwich that I got. Besides that everything was good.

Pros: All vegan, Lots of options

Cons: Lacking some flavor

Been here twice

Came twice for lunch and had the jackfruit nachos both times because they are that good (and I really love nachos). The Poke Bowl is simple and healthy, The Chili Dog is heavy and decadent, Taro Burger has a soft and comforting texture, and the Walnut Tacos were downright delicious but extremely messy to eat as "tacos."

I can't wait to go back for dinner because the menu is different enough to make repeat trips.

Fantastic!

Delivering via the foodsohawaii.com, this place is fantastic. I had 2 meals from here. The pulled jackfruit BBQ sandwich, and the Hawaiian pizza. The pizza is my new favorite thing.

Pros: Vegan and local, Delivery available , Reasonable prices

Cons: Delivery is expensive

Great find for vegan food in Kona!

We had the Jackfruit Nachos, BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich, and a beautiful rainbow salad. Everything was tasty and lovely. Free parking in the lot and outside seating.

Simply: wow!

I am just starting to eat more vegan food, this place will definitely show you how good it is to be vegan!
I had the jackfruit burger with coconut cheese and I didn't miss the real cheese. Nothing but vegan options, but you'll not miss anything!
Same pricing as normal restaurants in Hawaii.

Pros: All vegan

Not missing meat anymore!!

This cute little spot has some killer nachos!! Even the meat eaters would love them. Lasagna was great too. I'm obsessed with the caesar salad too!

Pros: Vegan food with tons of flavor

Great food, great people, great vibes

We went here for lunch and got the jackfruit nachos (the bomb) and a strawberry cheesecake (yum!) and some kombucha to wash it down. Everyone here is so nice and there is plenty of shaded seating with umbrellas and canopies. Highly recommend. We are trying out some pizza and salad for dinner tonight!

Pros: Cool atmosphere , Nice people

Must try in Kona!

An overwhelming amount of vegan choices to choose from! Their breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are all great, as well as lots of smoothies and sweets to choose from! New location is convenient and there is a drive through option! Staff are so lovely too! Highly recommend!

Very strange location with very good food

Herbivores is basically a shack in a parking lot, which is strange, but the food and comfort of eating somewhere fully vegan is worth it. They had no problem serving my food in my own containers, which is great. I only wish I'd had much chances to go to Herbivores to try more of the menu!

Delicious food

We went twice for dinner and once for breakfast. The Greek pizza was delicious - excellent cheesy toppings. For breakfast we had warm cinnamon rolls which were excellent. Though the seating is in a parking lot it’s a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Pros: Great menu selection, High quality food, Nice atmosphere

Cons: My latte was a bit lukewarm!

I love this place!

All vegan restaurant with only outdoor seating in a parking lot. It's really cute, especially at night with their lighting.

The food is delicious! We ordered a pizza (enough food for 2-3 people), a chick sandwich, the rainbow salad, and the kids cheeseburger meal. Loved everything! Hope to go back for the nachos!

Pros: All vegan, Vegan pamphlets to read at the table, Cute outdoor seating

Cons: None

Try at least once

You have to try it at least once while in Kona. It’s good food but kind of pricy. The nachos are really really good! As well as desserts!

Pros: All vegan , Good food

Cons: Expensive , Outside seating no Ac

Tasty vegan food

We went their at 8am for breakfast, I had one of their breakfast burritos and my girlfriend had their vegan Macmuffin with a dragon fruit smoothie, every item was super tasty, we left with a glazed doughnut and a cinnamon bun, we were that impressed we went back for more in the evening and again that didn’t disappoint.

Perfect!

Got the Southwest burrito and macvegan sandwich. We were really impressed! Everything was spiced really well, and the texture of the tofu is on point, don’t miss the egg at all.

Great vegan food on the big island

On vacation last month my husband and I had a great lunch here. Yes, seating is in a parking lot but it is comfortable and nicely setup. I really didn’t mind it. The nachos were delicious as well as the dragon fruit smoothie. If we were staying longer I would have gone again for another meal. Delicious 😋

Pros: Delicious food , Educational reading available , Friendly staff

Cons: Outdoor seating only

So cool & tasty

What a wonderful surprise to discover this place! I had a hot dog and my non-vegan husband has a burger, both so good and well served. We also had a wonderful home made limonade for only 3$ !

Pros: All is vegan and so good
