This is one of our favorite lunch/dinner spots. They have a great menu and you can sit at the tables or at the bar. https://www.kaleoshawaii.com/

Nice lunch and/or dinner menus. It's in our top 5. My boys like their pizza. I usually get fresh catch salads with wine. When guests come into town and we want to take them to dinner, it's our go-to spot in downtown Hilo.

Great place if you want/need organic natural food. Our family shops there quite a bit. They also have smoothies, morning coffee, sushi to go, sandwiches to go. It's a bit more epicurean than the other supermarkets around Hilo.https://www.islandnaturals.com/

Suisan has arguably the best poke on the island. Fisherman bring their fresh catch daily to Suisan.  It is definitely our family's favorite place for poke. They open at 9am and you can buy poke or plate lunch or just filets of fresh catches. 

KTA opens at 530am and is a supermarket where you can get all your food and drink needs. 

Located at 50 East Puainako St in Hilo although there are a few around town.  Their poke is slightly less costly than Suisan and very good. Good selection of wines and beers too.
