Da Bomb Grindz Kealakekua Reviews from The Last Year
Great Local Spot
This place RULES! The food comes out super hot as it is all made fresh and the wait was only 10-15 minutes around lunch time. Keep in mind that you cannot eat inside the restaurant itself, everything is to go now, but if you go to the nearby beach park and eat you won't be disappointed. Get the garlic chicken, I'm begging you.
BIG ISLAND HAWAII 2023 VACATION #10: WHERE'S THE OXTAIL ADOBO?
The title of my review is a play on the 1984 Wendy's commercial "Where's the beef?". Five years ago in May during my 5-day vacation at the Big Island I wanted to come here to eat. I was thinking about going to eat here on a Saturday during the day before my nephew's high school graduation that evening. Since my cousin and I were staying at Waikoloa Village I didn't think I would have made the full round trip in time to attend my nephew's high school graduation. However I didn't know that this place was closed on Sundays. Five years later I came back to the Big Island. I came here on a Saturday during Memorial Day Weekend. As with five years ago I would be attending another high school graduation on a Saturday - this time my niece. During my vacation I stayed at Kailua-Kona. This eatery is about an 8-minute drive from the hotel I was staying. I arrived about 10:30 AM and was the second person to enter the eatery after it opened. When I looked at the menu on the wall I noticed for the daily plates that oxtail adobo was not part of the menu. I asked the cashier and she said this eatery doesn't carry that item anymore. I was shocked because during an episode of Broke Da Mouth Grindz on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" the oxtail adobo appeared to be the second most popular item after the garlic furikake chicken. I ended up ordering a 3-item lunch plate of garlic furikake chicken, pork fat belly adobo, and braised beef short ribs. The first item I tried was the garlic furikake chicken. The breading was crunchy with the seasoning adding a slight salty flavor. The second item I tried was the pork belly fat adobo. The meat was moist. The fat was rendered enough to be edible and reminded me of a braised pork belly Chinese dish. The sauce wasn't too oily. What was missing? This adobo wasn't the oxtail, which would have provided a different texture than the pork belly fat. The braised beef short ribs was the best item of the dish as it had a texture similar to brisket. In fact if oxtail isn't available then the beef short ribs should have been in the adobo instead of the pork belly fat. Normally I would rate this place three stars. However after five years of waiting not having the oxtail adobo menu is major disappointment. I don't know what the oxtail adobo would have tasted. From my experience at Broke Da Mouth Grindz the braised beef shortribs tasted better than the pork belly fat adobo. Without the oxtail adobo I stand by my rating as Broke Da Mouth Grindz could've have been better.
Average
Very wall in the hole location tucked away with a simple logo. In a plaza, so plenty of parking, easy. No washroom and no dine-in tables, takeout only. Kind of a sour/musty smell inside, kids didn't like it so they opted to wait in the car. Really wanted to try the ube ice cream, but they only have a "feeds 3-4" portion size, and was too big for us. Instead we just got the garlic furikake chicken, spicy garlic butter shrimp special, and kalua pork. Overall, the food was just okay. The chicken was probably the best out of the three. The shrimp was over sauced and over fried, the kalua pork lacked flavor.
Broke Da Mouth is a must stop
After riding all the way from Waikiki on a Wednesday just to find out they are closed on Wednesday we went back on Thursday. So glad we did. We had the ribs and the fried garlic chicken (our favorite). This place was so good. We had the Kona Ice Cream Coffee Cake for dessert, OMG so unbelievably good. Guys, this is worth the drive (twice), believe me!!
Must have!!
My favorite Hawaiian fried garlic chicken!! Amazing sides as well, & must get the chili pepper water & lilikoi (passionfruit) juice. Quality, authentic, & big portions. No seating indoors or out, but bring it to eat by the beach and enjoy.
Ridiculously slow service
Waited over a half hour in line with only 2 parties in front of us and never put in our order because the person working was slow and had set urgency. I took a look around the few people who had already ordered all looked frustrated so I got out of line and left. 30 minutes of vacation were spent waiting in line when we could have been on the beach. Don’t make the same mistake.
A must stop while in Kona
This is a great little hole in the wall. Out of the way but very close to town. This place was packed for the dinner crowd which I took as a very good sign. We came here not in a hurry, which will be crucial. Ordering was simple, either via tablet or at the counter. The food is definitely not cheap but it's also high quality. There is a place to sit while you wait for your order and peruse their swag section. The food was outstanding. Delicious and fresh. I got the animal burger which was huge and enough for 2 full meals. This is an absolute must stop on your trip. I've been coming to Kona for decades and wish I would have tried this place much sooner!
If you don't stop here at least once you're doing yourself a disservice!
This place is a little hole in the wall, mostly frequented by locals, and it was packed to the gills when I stopped by for lunch. That's how you know you're in the right place! I had the garlic furikake chicken plate, subbed the regular rice for the pork belly rice, and got corn for my side. There was enough food there for 2 people, easily. AND IT WAS SO GOOD. Definitely top 3 meals I had on the island in 2 weeks, and one of the cheapest too.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
