Ohelo Restaurant in Volcano Closed

[Durian Fiend]

There is so much to consider when hypothesizing about a restaurant that went out of business - - with no definitive information about their circumstances!  Going back to 2019 was a stretch, but squeezing in WWII, the big one was certainly unexpected.

Down the road from Volcano Village, in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is Volcano House.  Uncle George’s serves a pretty good pizza, and if you arrive at the right time ask for a window seat overlooking the crater.  They have a decent selection of beers, the Pilsner is excellent. 
Tip: if the window seats are taken, and it’s lunch time, check the main restaurant.  You can often get a window seat in there, order from Uncle George’s lunch menu - - same price.

Indeed.  Thanks to MyManao for offering up plausible speculation.  Covid restrictions?  Ridiculous!

And thanks to you for the tip.

only 1 maga kine reetard would try 4 connect old covid chit with a closed restaurant in Volcano Village today...

FACT IS:. zero restaurants do good up there, low local $$ = not much interest locally. .
...every single eating place down the hwy to Hilo suffers...
even in Keaau.
and tourists often eat inside the park via tour vans/buses bring catered food in w/them made especially for them at Hilo Coffee, etc.

stand in mid Volcano Village and count the cars too.... not many at all on the side road, not many on the hwy fronting village too..
IMO Kona side tourist kooks eating in Punaluu or Kona before or after...

commonsense101:
the HVNP entrance is on the Kona side of Volcano Village =
Kona side = high % of tourists on island
you have to drive rental car past the park to see any Volcano Village signage =
out of the way for anyone coming from Kona side
and they may not even know it exists...
