Quinn's Almost by the Sea 75-5655 Palani Road, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"I had so much hope that this restaurant would be good, but unfortunately we found it a little disappointing. Because it's set back from the ocean, which lacks direct views of the ocean, we thought the food would be the star here, but it didn't quite work out that way. Our grilled Ono was dry and not seasoned very well, and the service seemed somewhat slow as well. The Cobb salad with grilled chicken was okay, but the piece of chicken on the salad was lacking flavor as well. Eating out can be fun, or it can be a chore with your money not well spent, so when it's disappointing, it's a real let down. Maybe this was just a night they weren't hitting on all cylinders, so it's possible other people's experience might be much better. Based on our experience, I'm not sure I would go back."

"Loved this place! Yummy food and great environment. Affordable prices. Long waits and staff doesn’t really acknowledge you because they’re so busy. But everyone was nice and good is good. Highly recommend making reservations so you can skip the wait."

"Nice place with good food at reasonable prices and good service. The Hawaiian Teri burger is pretty tasty, but it’s one of those burgers that just won’t stay together; the components all slide apart into kind of a mess. I ate it with a knife and fork, and it was good. The Cobb Salad was also good. There isn’t much close parking, so be prepared to walk a bit. Not an issue for me, but it may matter to some."

"Quirky sports bar with good prices and large portions. The chicken strips are huge and the mini fish dinner with the sides was plenty. Try the Hawaiian Ice drink, potent & refreshing. No view to speak of, but still enjoyed ourselves."

"What a festive atmosphere for the upcoming Christmas season Quinn's has. They were the only place we could find open on a Monday night after 9 p.m. Cristian was our attentive waiter. I went with the Ono fish N chips. Their Onion Rings are the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this fine restaurant"
