Tex Drive-In

Located on the Big Island, Tex Drive-In has been serving local Hawaiian delicacies since 1969. The restaurant has been featured in Sunset, Bon Appétit, and other publications. Once you’re there you may find it hard to decide no just what to eat, but also what you watch. Will it be the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean from the restaurant’s open-air patio? Or the tireless bakers churning out batch after batch of their famed malasadas via the bakery viewing window? You’ll just have to visit to find out. texdrivein-hawaii.com
