This place is honestly awesome. Great for the whole family. My three year old loved it & the kiddie bumpers & bowling assisting rack were great for her! The staff is cordial & friendly & the food is great! Large, yummy, fresh portions at very reasonable prices. If in Kona & looking for a fun indoors alternative with kiddos, check them out. Real fun for everyone! There's also a bar & karaoke.

Kona Bowl is a Great fun place for bowling, having a few drinks and good food!
Located behind Sack-n-Save Kona Bowl has everything for everyone, Arcade area, lots of flat screen TV's, Full bar, Restaurant,Karaoke Room and a room in back for small parties.
After a night of drinking and bowling we tried out the oxtail soup from the restaurant(Chubby's Diner). I really don't know how they fit so much meat in one bowl! It's was really good drunk food! Check out their LauLau plate on weekends, Massive!
Great spot for family and friends to get together and have a fun time! Check it out!
This place is super awesome. Came here on a Sunday night to bowl, and then again during the afternoon for the arcade and some food. Expect to pay ~10 for a meal. From what I saw, portions are very decent. I only got fries, but they were really good! By the time we left the diner (Chubby's Diner) it was PACKED, always a good sign.
The staff is really nice and helpful. Our first night there, the attendant was so great helping us get set up to bowl.
After 9pm there is a deal, $10 per person for unlimited bowling, plus $3 for shoes. Our group of 5 bowled for nearly 3 hours, it was so much fun, even when we gutter balled! Even my 3-year-old niece was really into it.
The bowling and bar area are super cool. Laser lights on the walls, very modern design.
Near the bar there is a TV and lounge area with an Xbox (I assume one can play), as well as the standard bar and stools. The drink prices are okay, I wish they were stronger for the price. They do have cheap domestic beers, though.
The arcade is what you would expect, with all the standard games. Nothing special, but not bad, either.
KBXtreme is on my list of must-stops when in the Kona area.
Talk about a big nice bowling alley! Â It's very different from the ones on Oahu.
It was weird that on a Sunday night it seemed empty.
I would say there 7-10 lanes being used out of the 20+ lanes in the bowling alley.
Off to the corner there is a restaurant called Chubby's
There also was a cool looking bar.
Overall the place looked modern with the fancy lights and there were fun factory style games for young kids and giant tvs playing sports. Â Music with a lot of bass was playing. Â The whole time there I was just wondering, where is all the people?
This has got to be the most modern bowling alley I've seen. There's a $10 special Sunday to Thursday night from 9 to midnight. It includes shoes and unlimited bowling. They also have kids zone with games that spit out tickets. The lanes also have ticket spitting machines. Whenever you bowl a strike, you get 8 tickets. A spare, 4 tickets. So I had extra reason to do my best. Haha. After a game, you also get tickets. I racked up 300 tickets in about 2 hours of just bowling. Then I went to redeem it for prizes. All for $10 a person.

Great place for both kids and adults. Â Just get the kids out by a certain time, because this one time I went with family, they had some sort of bikini contest of some sort for the adults. Â I'm pretty sure it wasn't a regularly scheduled event.

Nothing to write home about.

Friendly local staff

This review is for the restaurant in Kona bowl, not for the bowling alley.
So unfortunately there is a restaurant in this bowling alley called Chubby's. It's a small cafe in the Kona bowl. From yelp it says its located in Hilo but it is actually in kailua. The phone number is correct on the yelp business page but the location is totally off. And if you are not from around here it is a little hard to find because its behind some buildings and there is no huge sign to let you know its there.
I'd have to say the food is good to be at a bowling alley. I got the chili and rice and it filled me up nice. ..that rhymed... It comes in a bowl with the rice on the side. Also it comes with a side and i got the macaroni salad. They at tuna to the mac salad and that made it pretty good.
