“ Best place to surround yourself with the true message and history of this beautiful island and what the native Hawaiians created from the beginning. They loved their land, they respected it, they shared their fruits of hard labor and all people came together and lived "aloha" in every fiber of their being. ”
“ Ate here in January 2021. The Bishop Museum is open, you just need to wear your Covid mask. The highway inn is the restaurant inside of the Bishop Museum. The website accurately portrays the limited menu during the Covid slow down. You can eat outside and there are places to sit. The service was reasonably fast and friendly. It was a fantastic value. I had the pig bowl which was a lot of pulled pork, rice, and tomatoes. It was enough for two people for about 11 ... delicious. Please upvote if appropriate ”
