Pub in Hilo town, close to the farmer's market and overlooking Hilo Bay. Great place to sit and unwind after the day shopping or to sit and wait for others to shop! Great pub food, I've been through practically the whole menu and have not been disappointed. Great local beers on tap, always a plus.

It is a friendly place, seating is open and not too crowded. Service is prompt, but it took a while to get our food. It was worth the wait, however. Across the highway is the beach, so it feels tropical. Enjoy.

It is a college hangout, and that age group is not known for their pallets, so what did I expect. Drink first, them eat.

Great burgers, sandwiches, baby back ribs and steaks. Burgers and sandwiches are huge portions. My favorites---mushroom burger & club house sandwich. Great sports bar atmosphere. Great place for casual dining.

After a day out, we decided to eat lunch and my girlfriend said why don't we go Cronies. She got a salad which was big, to big for her to eat all at once. I got the mushroom and swiss burger and got it medium rare. The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy and awesome grilled and smoke flavor. Cronies is... More

This was a great, fun sports bar. We went around St. Patrick's Day and the NCAA tournament and it was a great atmosphere. Good burger, great margarita.

We had a nice dinner in a casual setting. Friendly staff and service. Disappointed that my iced tea wasn't refilled, however the Kalua Pig and Pineapple pizza was excellent. We'll be back again.

After a long day of hiking and sun, we needed some food. The locals recommended Cronies. The food tasted great and was fresh.

Cronies has been around for a long time in Hilo town. If you're looking for a good juicy homemade Burger.....cronies is your Burger joint! Burgers are made in house and cooked to your perfection. They do also have sandwiches, salads, steak, and pasta. I believe fish and chips as well. You'll definitely get your moneys worth here at Cronies, compared... More

Pricey for what you get. Although the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived at lunch time, we had to wait at least 10 minutes before being seated. Food and service were just okay. That restaurant does have rest room of its own - not obvious in Hawaii.
