This restaurant was a favorite of ours. We'd eat in the bar, where the full restaurant menu was served, along with a bar menu that included very tasty, well-prepared pizza. The rustic atmosphere in the bar was complemented by local (paniolo/hawaiian) music several nights each weak. Waimea Ranch House is closed. A sign out front says that a new restaurant,... more

I have eaten at the restaurant several times over the last several years. Hubby and I live in Hilo, so we do get into Kamuela fairly regularly. We were taking my folks around the island and stopped in to get a good meal. The food was, as always, exceptional. What did take us by surprise was the fact that the... more

We stumbled upon the Ranch House while looking for an alternative to Merriman's that didn't seem quite so taken with itself. The Ranch House is informal and our waitress was very friendly. I ordered the stuffed double pork chop, which was large and the sauce rich and flavorful. It was also cooked until hard and white--you know, old-school, watch-out-or-you'll-get-trichinosis--so it... more

Our favorite restaurant in the area and a great place to take visitors from neighbor islands or the mainland. Tonight we enjoyed our steaks with an excellent BR Cohen merlot and unbelieveable chocolate dessert. Not inexpensive, but well worth it for old fashioned personal service, memorable food and cosy authentic Waimea atmosphere. Mahalo to the chef-owners Steve and Kim Greenspan. more

They had Hawaiian slack key musicians in the bar area that were incredible! But when the food started to arrive oh my it was the best dinning experience we had... more

Waimea Ranch House 65-1144 Mamalahoa Highway Kamuela, HI We had an excellent dinner here. Expensive but worth every penny…with the exception of my $9 glass of wine that I had at the bar while waiting for our table – I switched to a house wine for dinner. We started with a baked mozzarella and fontina cheese with marinara sauce appetizer.... more
