Lava Rock is easy to find, we got immediate seating, and had fine, friendly service. We went there for lunch, and the portions were big. Our waitress took a to go order and produced it in timely fashion. We always have fun here. Full bar!

Not many food options in this community, but this is worth it. We ate 2 meals there. The first, for dinner, we ordered chef salads. We agreed they were the best chef salads we'd eaten anywhere in the U.S. Because they use fresh ingredients, it makes all the difference. We also enjoyed breakfast their and it was very good too....

We had hamburger and it was ok.... Not too costly considering not much options in the Volcano area. We had good service. The set up Is more like a garage affair than a restaurant

The grass fed 1/2 lb hamburger platter was very flavorful. Came with rice, gravy, and a side. I had the side salad with passion fruit vinegarette. Large meal for $10.50. After a day hiking thru craters in the Hawaiian Volcano Natl Park it was a welcomeing hot meal. Excellent friendly service. Decor was ok, nice enough. Would go back. Several... More

We hate eating at fancy restaurants with high prices so we tried Lava Rock Cafe. It has a very local feel to it, not fancy by any means! I had the mahi mahi plate lunch and it was good with a nice grilled taste to it. I even went back a second day and had the same thing. The service... More
