Big Island Restaurant Best in the USA

Da Poke Shack in Kona was determined by Yelp to be the best restaurant in the whole country by Yelp.

My favorite part:"It’s safe to say that even Da Poke Shack is surprised to find itself atop a national best-restaurants list. When I called the restaurant to ask if they’d heard that they had garnered Yelp.com’s top overall rating, the on-duty manager replied, “Oh, cool. You mean best on our island, right?” No, I said. Best in the country. The line went silent for a few moments. “Oh,” he said again. “Wow.”"

Aloha,

Da Poke Shack is THE BEST.
Their poke bowls are so good. Thanks for the reminder, it's been a few years.
I can't wait to eat there again when we are back this summer.

Da Poke Shack is great. The ambience is definitely not haute cuisine, more like hole in the wall ambience (ok, it's a bit bigger than that), but it has awesome Poke with excellent variety. You can see whole fish coming in from the back, and you can see it being cut up. You can tell it's fresh both from what you can see and how it tastes.
