Banjy's Paradise Bar & Grill

Came here for a free dinner after staying at Paniola Greens.

Parking is available by the clubhouse in a nice big lot out there.

There is a bar area, as well as a nice big patio where you can watch golfers do their thing.  The interior is a little bit dated, but it goes with the laid-back character of this state.  The night we went, there was a local Japanese guy singing classic Western songs such as Beatles.

Potato skins - decent but quite greasy.

Clam chowder - average taste.  Nice chunks of potatoes inside.

Prime rib - oh wow this was good.  Served with gravy and horseradish, and a baked potato. Special mention for those who enjoy eating cows.

Lava cake - not sure if this is an American thing, but this thing is waaaaaay too sweet.  There were 3 of us sharing one and we couldn't finish it.  Served with ice cream on the side.  The entire thing is drenched in raspberry syrup.  I would not recommend this dish.

Overall it's a decent place to chill if you're in the area.

Not your typical country club, which could be a good or bad thing depending. I was just happy I was allowed in wearing cutoff jean shorts.

Friendly service and good cocktails. Not great ambiance, but they do have outdoor seating overlooking the driving range. Super-friendly service. The best happy hour place I found around Waikoloa.

They were closed when we came here due to a small fire.  We called for the next 3 days to see if they had reopened & they never did while we were here.  Guess it wasn't such a small fire.  Will try to  go there next time in the area .
