Annie's Island Fresh Burgers BURGERS $
MAP
( www.anniesislandfreshburgers ; 79-7460 Hwy 11, Mango Court; burgers $9-14; 11am-8pm;
) Sometimes you just need a burger. And not just any burger. You need the sort of
burger that makes you sigh and smile and go 'Damn' and feel slightly uncomfortably full
afterwards. Enter Annie's, which uses local veggies and grass-fed Big Island beef to
make some of the Big Island's best burgers.
Vegetarian? No worries - dig into a portobello mushroom stuffed with parmesan
cheese and bulgur while enjoying the views from the back lanai.
Rebel Kitchen AMERICAN $
MAP
( 322-0616; www.rebelkitchen.com ; 79-7399 Mamalahoa Hwy; sandwiches $7-9, mains $13-18;
11am-3pm & 5-8pm Mon-Fri; ) Rebel Kitchen is well titled. There's a sense of playful
anarchy when you walk in here, from the young counter staff to the punk and reggae
coming out of the kitchen. You know what else comes out of the kitchen? Amazing sand-
wiches. We'll fight you for the blackened ono with cajun mayo, although you could paci-
fy us with the jerk chicken sandwich served on a rosemary roll.
At night, the dinner menu is hearty and eschews calorie-counting for comfort food of
the steak and barbeque pork-chops variety. A few vegetarian options like an eggplant
sandwich or chickpea salad help balance all that meat.
Donkey Balls SWEETS
MAP
( 322-1475; www.alohahawaiianstore.com ; 79-7411 Mamalahoa Hwy; 8am-6pm) When it
comes to sweets, we love Donkey Balls, and we promise it's not just for the saucy name.
It's the excellent quality and diverse varities of these beefy chocolates. Sure, the pure
version is amazing enough, but check the Jitter Balls, coated in 100% Kona coffee, or the
Hot Board Balls, rolled in Cayenne pepper, or the Blue Balls, which come in a layer of
blue-colored white chocolate… OK, maybe we're a little enamored of the saucy names.
The factory store in Kainaliu also contains a pretty excellent cafe if you need some es-
presso to go with your hoard of punny chocolates.
