Gill's Lanai

People woking there are nice but don't get the Baja style fish tacos. Fish tasteless- better add hot sauce and the salsa or go to the Fish Truck in .

What a roadside stand this is! Fish tacos to die for: fresh fried Onto, corn tortillas, fresh chips with salsa and plenty of shredded cabbage And salsa Verde to dress the messy goodness. Their smoothies are a treat after zip lining at Kohala Zip lines too!

Yelpers keep each other well-fed!  Thank you all for your reviews which led us to Gill's!

Good, local ingredients.  Simple, great preparation, friendly service!

Thought we would take a break from restaurant fare while staying in Hawi.  Sales clerk at Elements Gallery says she's heard Gill's is good.

VERY informal lanai arrangement, well suited to the casual food.  We wanted to beat their 5pm closing and eat later, so ordered takeout.

Husband ordered Baha style fish tacos, chunks of Ono lightly battered and deep fried.  I ordered Naked Style, so chunks were grilled.  Good amount of fish, heaps of cabbage, your choice of really good chips or black beans - lightly sauced and a little on the sweet side.

We also ordered a Kahlua Pork Quesadilla to split.  Server tells us she is out of the pork.  :(
She offers the veggie version, which is mushrooms, onions, and two cheeses.

We ate so late that the quesadilla was cold.  And it was SCRUMPTIOUS even cold!  The mushrooms and onions were super flavorful, and the cheeses were luscious.  Husband saved one quarter for breakfast tomorrow ( he loves cold pizza for breakfast, so I suppose this is the Hawaiian version?)

We will always include at least one Gill's meal in every future trip to the Big Island.
