Guidebook for Kailua-Kona
Food Scene
Good Hawaiian fast food. This location is the best L&L on the island. We've taken trips to the island where we ate at L&L every day. You can order any plate with a green salad and brown rice (instead of macaroni salad and white rice) if you want to be healthy. The regular plates will leave you with leftovers. Breakfast is good, too.
