Great, little local place. Still pretty worried about Covid stuff (March 2023) so lots of people waiting outside to be seated or to pickup to-go food.

I’ve been eating at Don’s Grill since it opened and it’s one of my personal favorites in Hilo for local style comfort food. The restaurant itself can get a little cramped during busy times but the food has been consistently good for so many years, it doesn’t matter once you’re served your meal. They also have great desserts, especially their pies. The regular menu items are still as good as they were back in the day and the specials (like the ahi katsu special in my photo) have always been great.

A family friendly homestyle diner with classics and local items on the menu. Plenty of variety to choose from. Good service and straightforward pricing.

The middest of mid food. If you are looking for an average experience, I highly recommend this place. I had the teriyaki beef and it’s a thin sirloin with a lot of fat and teriyaki sauce on top. The rice is decent and the hawaiian roles are good. I’ve heard the ribs are a lot better. Service is just okay. And where we sat they didn’t turn on the AC machine.

This is a great Diner style of eating. Very clean and wonderfully fresh food. You wait outside the door to be seated and sanitizer is provided to sanitize your hands upon entry. The waiter/waitress are all friendly and efficient. The food came out quickly and the drinks were constantly refilled. The side salad was not permanent and wrapped, they put it together when it was ordered. All fresh ingredients. The price is one of the best in the area and you get a plateful of food. I would be a regular to this place.

Don’s reminded me of where all the locals go to. Like a diner, they had a good menu that covered all types of meals. They are definitely still skeptical social distancing, as they only allow groups to wait outside. Our waitress was super sweet and service was speedy. I went with the loco moco, a Hawaiian classic, and it was delicious! Only $8.50 too!

We were in Volcano on a Sunday night but the dining choices are extremely limited. So we decided to drive into Hilo for dinner. Don’s Grill is really a diner experience. It has basic, solid food with a Hawaiian flair I ordered the mixed plate (grilled mahi mahi, chicken teriyaki, and a fried pork cutlet with brown gravy), my husband ordered the clubhouse sandwich, and my daughter ordered the chop chicken Hawaiian. Entrees come with a choice of soup or salad along with a dinner roll.

Excellent main items okay sides. Friendly staff. This is a place worth returning to. The Teri Chicken was great. Lasagna was delicious. Mixed veggies and mashed potatoes on the side nothing special. There are many more things that we want to try on the menu. Look at the menu and photos and you can probably figure out what will be good for you.
