Hawaiian Style Café (Hilo)
Hilo, Hilo
Hilo Breakfast Institution Famous for Big Loco Mocos
Hawaiian Style Café's Hilo location, at 681 Manono Street Suite 101, is a breakfast-and-lunch favorite that HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2025 readers ranked first on the island for loco moco and second for breakfast or brunch. Its online menu lists the Hawaiian Style Loco — white rice topped with two hamburger patties, grilled onions, two eggs, and brown gravy — and a chicken cutlet loco at $17.95 each (menu prices may have changed), plus a spam, Portuguese sausage, and link sausage version.
Hours could not be confirmed, so check the café's Toast ordering page or call before going. It is best treated as a morning-to-lunch stop.
