One of our FAVORITE places to eat on the island. We NEVER miss a chance to stop by and chat and bust our diets! Big Jake’s is located at Mile Marker 106 in Honaunau on the Big Island of Hawai’i. When you visit the Big Island stop by andtry the award winning beef brisket, the smoked chicken sandwich, smoked pork plate, brisket plate, or try a rack of baby back ribs. They are all fantastic and come with sides of potato salad or coleslaw. Big Jake’s has been a local favorite for years—see what all the fuss is about!

Boasting 42 miles of trails, you can lose yourself literally in this special place. Make sure you take some water and check the local maps to see which trails suits you best. There are short trails that circle the village or you can opt for a longer one that will take you winding in the hills up about the town. There are checkpoints along the trails so you know just how far you have come and how much further you have to go. If you prefer to keep it simple you can always walk around the town. Start on the famed Main St. and make your way North until you cross 1st Street. You’ll pick up the walking paths there that zig zags through the local area. Make sure to stop in at Bill’s Ice Cream for a scoop of the local favorite.
