Eagles Lighthouse Cafe

In the middle of small town of Volcano, they serve simply prepared foods for reasonable price. We stopped here for breakfast and I was craving rice and eggs. I poured some soy sauce over the white rice and dug into the layers of hams, bacons, eggs over hot rice. Yum! After eating lots of sandwiches and burgers, this simple plate really hit the spot. Store shelves and refrigerated showcases are neatly organized but this place is very cozy so be mindful not to overcrowd inside.

One of a few places to pick up small bites or pastries fr breakfast and coffee for the ride from Vilcano back to Hilo.

The hot cocoa tasted like hot water added to a packaged mix. The two others said their pastries were just okay.

Unfortunately my cinnamon roll was dense and heavy like a scone. The white frosting was too sweet for me so that means sugar overload.

This is a great local place. Family run and operated, they HUSTLE to get the food out fast. I had the fish burger and it was absolutely delicious. They are friendly, and there's about 7 tables if you want to dine in (all tables are outside). Great place!

This place is located close to the national park. 'Y husband got a sandwich, while I got vegetarian chili (contains tofu) in a sourdough bread bowl

Pros: decent menu, reasonable prices, vegetarian options

Cons: vegetarian chili and sourdough bread are very okay and neither tasted that fresh (the sourdough wasn't sour and tasted like white bread), a little too much religious signs (I've never seen any other place like this. There are 9 signs outside alone), menu outside does not have prices, there is no bathroom

Vegetarians, better to get a sandwich than the vegetarian chili

We stumbled upon this gem while searching for places that opened early (hello East coast time difference) and let me tell you...it was so good, we went back that afternoon! We had the sun dried tomato quiche with bacon and egg croissants and we couldn't take a picture because it went straight to our mouths! Then we went back for some dessert and had their pies.
Y'all don't sleep on that quiche though! Going back in the morning! Loved to support local and Christ followers! Thank you for being true to who you AND serving delicious food!

Popular road side eatery on the way to/from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Offering homey, comfort food, such as soups and sandwiches and daily plate lunch specials. We had the portuguese bean soup, heartwarming chili, fried rice with egg, and breakfast sandwich. No complaints from the family.

Good food.

Reasonable prices for Big Island/Volcano area.

Pleasant service.

Lots of parking.

Lots of outdoor seating.

Since there aren't a lot of food options in the Volcano area, service can be kind of slow if you come when there's a number of other customers in line. If you're not in a hurry, no problem. Sit back and enjoy people watching while you wait for your food.

Not many choices to eat at the volcano but the eagle has landed on this spot. This is the most affordable place in the area besides cooking your own food. We double dipped and ate here for breakfast and lunch so this is a double review.

Pro Tips:
- Call in your order. So much faster than standing in line.
- Always order a lunch sandwich for breakfast and lunch. They are cheaper than the breakfast sandwich ($4.25) if you like veggies like me. They charge $1.25 for EACH veggie item (lettuce, tomato etc) which is why our breakfast sandwich ended up costing us $10 each. Stick to a lunch sandwich for breakfast at $7 and it comes with all the veggies.
- If you decide to grab a dessert, stick with the carrot cake. The guava was ok, but didn't have much flavor. Desserts run around $3.50 each.
- Service is hit or miss. Cashier was a bit hard to understand and mumbled in the morning. Maybe it was the mask? But when we called in our order for lunch the lady answering the phone was great and was very pleasant.

Yes the Jesus posters were there. No Christian music like someone else commented on Yelp. Plenty of seating and parking.

This is a good place for folks looking for budget eats on your trip to the volcano.

There is no ambiance. I had a turkey & provolone sandwich with oatmeal white bread. The bread was great! The rest of the sandwich was average. My husband had chili - distinctively average. The staff were not rude. They also were not friendly. However in Volcano your options are very limited.

Food is good and quick and very reasonably priced. I would definitely give it a try if you are near.

Good price, great food, good service that is fast!
Good outdoor seating, but nothing offered inside.
