Curbside Takeout

We are temporarily pausing our dine in service and offering curbside takeout instead. 

Just because you cannot enjoy an evening in our beautiful dining room doesn't mean you can't still have our delicious food ↑

Call now to order your takeout, pick up your meal curbside, and enjoy it from the comfort of your home. 

We deeply appreciate all of your love, support, and understanding during these difficult times.

 

 

Jackie Rey's is located in the heart of Kailua-Kona.

Neighborhood Hideaway

This old Hawaiian shack was originally built in 1956 and was the first hardware store in Kona; named Sid's of Hawaii.

By the time we came along, the building was occupied by a dive bar. In this dive bar incarnation, the interior was painted entirely black with plate glass windows and 15 televisions staring at you. It was a shady place! We bought the lease off a guy from Chicago who ominously told us “I have a gun”. What were we getting into?

We spent three months tirelessly renovating the space into the colorful, warm, and family friendly vibe that our guests have come to love.

We opened our Kona doors in November of 2004 with 16 crew members. Today, Kona has a team of 35 people and every person on staff makes a difference. Business survival for a restaurant, basically located in a Hawaiian shack, takes a lot of dedication from ourselves and our crew.

Chef Jeric Genavia

Chef Jeric Genavia comes from a restaurant family. He started washing dishes at 15 years old here in Kona and has clawed his way to the culinary top. He started at Jackie Rey’s in 2014 as a salad cook and we are proud to now call him the Head Chef of Jackie Rey’s Kona. Working under the mentorship of Chef Dave in Hilo, Jeric has honed down the Jackie Rey’s classic dishes and expanded his repertoire to include beautiful seafood creations.

Jeric is a humble dedicated Chef who is respected by the entire crew at Jackie Rey’s.

We are lucky to have him.
