A 24-hour Hilo institution open since 1971, Ken's House of Pancakes is legendary for massive, fluffy pancakes, hearty loco moco, and local plate lunches served at any hour of the day or night. The local regulars, the neon lights, and the around-the-clock service make this a beloved piece of Hilo culture — equal parts breakfast spot, late-night diner, and community gathering place.
Tip: The macadamia nut pancakes and the loco moco are the definitive Ken's orders. Open 24 hours — a wonderful resource after late flights into Hilo Airport. The Portuguese sausage and eggs is the local breakfast standard.
