While a rare and precious commodity in almost any town, the 24-hour restaurant is almost unheard of in Hawai'i. Thank goodness then for Ken's HOP, which not only serves all night long, but is reputed to serve the very best breakfasts on the Island of Hawai'i. It has won a half-dozen people's choice awards in the past few years for service, food quality and all-around excellence. Everything from the famous pancakes to spaghetti to Kalua pig is on the extensive menu. All-you-can-eat specials are featured on Wednesday and Sunday.

Yummy!!!
I was just at Hilo this past week and had heard about Ken's HOP. They have a good variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections and I chose their macadamia nut pancakes. All I can say is OMG...so delicious! Even better with their homemade coconut syrup! Yummy!! I would definately recommend this place.
