Pineapples, American restaurant in downtown Hilo, United States
Pineapples is an open-air restaurant on Keawe Street offering dishes made with ingredients from local Hawaiian farms and markets. The seating spreads across an outdoor space that feels casual and connected to the street life of downtown.
The restaurant was the first open-air dining venue to open in downtown Hilo, turning an old commercial building into a place to eat. This change helped shape how people in the neighborhood approach dining out.
The menu draws from traditional Hawaiian ingredients to create modern American dishes, showing how island tastes shape the local food culture. Diners experience this blend of local heritage and contemporary cooking as they eat.
The restaurant is open daily, with dinner service extending until 10:00 PM on Friday and Saturday evenings. The open-air setup means weather plays a role, and rainy days may affect the dining experience.
Local musicians perform Thursday through Sunday starting at 5:30 PM while guests eat under the open sky. This live music turns a meal into a more social and lively experience than eating indoors.
