...but like previous reviewer said, that is just because the other restaurants in the area score even worse. We went there twice during our weekly stay at the marriott. Very pravtical because it is just across the road from the hotel. The food is fresh, the menu interesting the taste is quite ok but nothing really excellent. As a Europian... More

Ate here twice during our stay in waikoloa. The staff were over-friendly (it's hard for a European to be asked so many times - by so many different people eg multiple waiters, hostess and manager - if everything is okay) and efficient. Food tasted fresh, ambitious (tagine in Hawaii? This was very good!) and certainly better than the other restaurants... More

We were going to try Three Fat Pigs across from Merriman's because Ippy from the Next Food Network Star owns it. We decided against Ippy's restaurant because there were no customers eating there and it looked like a box with no warmth or friendliness to it. We had a wonderful lunch at Merriman's! We sat outside and it was very... More

This is part of the Merriman's chain, which also has a more upscale version in Waimea. Merriman's Market Cafe at Kings Shop area is more casual but with a diverse menu so you can eat anything from a small pizza to fish dinner. They have a wonderful outdoor patio. The service was excellent and food was affordable and delicious. It... More

The best part was the service we received. Lunch was very good - my wife liked her fish tacos a great deal. Happy hour selections were just OK. Outdoor seating is nice but the "view" is a shopping plaza.

Mai Tais, Beer and various menu items available at Happy Hour. Just enough to hold you over until dinner. Personal margarita pizza is about 9". Menu items can also be ordered during happy hour.

This may be our favorite place to dine in this part of the island. Service is friendly and prompt. We enjoyed dining outside on the terrace. Our previous server [from over a year ago] even came by to chat with us. The food here is always well-prepared and the menu is varied enough to suit any palate. This Merriman’s is... More

My husband and I ate here during our stay at the Fairmont Orchid. We were very happy with the food and service. The mahi mahi fish tacos were delicious!

We recently came here for dinner. It was a refreshing alternative to the hotel restaurants we had been eating at. My husband and I both had the fish tacos. Very tasty. The staff was beyond helpful. The waitress Cara was so sweet- she even held our baby to give us a chance to eat! They have a nice large patio... More

Perfect place for lunch while shopping. They serve an excellent Chicken Cobb Salad - the nicest I have ever had. Good service and fair prices as well.
