It was nice to check the place out again – it’s been at least 20 years since I’ve last been – and to introduce it to Mrs. Island Miler. Sadly, I feel like the quality has diminished a little here, though the cuisine is far better than the stuff we had at our hotel. However, there are more exciting options in Hilo nowadays, so I wouldn’t automatically return here.

Main Menu

In contrast to the omelet, the fried noodles were a complete disappointment. While the noodles retained a nice al dente texture, they were quite wet/oily. Worse, though, is that the entire dish was incredibly salty.

Menus

The employees were taken aback by the sudden change of administration, but all were offered the chance to maintain their current positions at Ken’s. With new bosses came fresh modifications to an already booming industry. The Chings decided to convert the Tapa Room to incorporate more seating for diners.

Late-night food,

The HUGE slices of Spam scattered throughout didn’t help with this. In fact, the primary flavor profiles here were salt and black pepper. Back in those days, I had the extreme privilege of being able to go to Maui or the Big Island at least once a year with my family. When I was a kid, I LOVED going to Ken’s House of Pancakes with my family whenever we visited Hilo. Learning that Mrs. Island Miler has never been, I made it a point to get here during our last trip to the area.

Kids menu,

We walked into Ken’s House of Pancakes and instantly felt the small-town diner experience wash over us like the waves in Hilo Bay. Classic coffee cups with Ken’s logo splashed on the side, massive stacks of pancakes, and plates of the loco moco sat on tables full of people enjoying their morning. The large restaurant serves up local food and local culture. With daily specials and warm waitresses, you will feel exactly like you are in a Hawaiian country town.

It can be pretty jarring if you’ve never been in a place like this. However, what caught me off-guard (I guess I never noticed as a kid) is that the restaurant is open-air – there’s no a/c here. I suppose this wasn’t as big an issue 30 years ago when our weather was cooler, but it gets pretty hot nowadays, as was the case during our visit. Nowadays, Ken’s House of Pancakes is still owned by the Ching Family.

The menu for Ken's House of Pancakes may have changed since the last user update. Sirved does not guarantee prices or the availability of menu items. Ken’s House of Pancakes opened its doors in 1971 under the joint ownership of Ken Pruitt and Bonnie Twitchell. It became the first, and only 24-hour business on the East-side of the Big Island. Success soon followed the opening, with the appeal of being able to sit down and eat at any time of day or night!

Also aiding in the success of the restaurant was the attached Tapa Room Cocktail Lounge, allowing adults to unwind with a tasty cocktail before, during, and after dinner. My other complaints with the fried noodles were more personal, with the largest complaint here being the use of green bell peppers. Who the hell puts green pepper in fried noodles?! I also wasn’t a fan of the celery or carrots in here. In my opinion, fried noodles can have onion, cabbage, and maybe bean sprouts. All other vegetables in local-style fried noodles are an abomination.

Both are $20 today, and all omelets come with your choice of rice or hashbrowns PLUS pancakes or toast. You can also get cottage cheese, tomatoes, or pineapple in place of the pancakes/toast. Overall, I’m glad we paid Ken’s House of Pancakes a visit.

I wanted to branch out and try something different, opting for the fried noodles. As far as service goes, we went during the after-lunch lull. There weren’t that many employees around, so it took a while for us to get seated and whatnot despite the restaurant being empty.

They also put a new roof on the building and increased the menu dramatically. Eventually, the Ken’s logo, and the roof and road signs also got a modernized update. If you’re staying in Hilo, it’s pretty hard to miss Ken’s House of Pancakes. They’re at the intersection of Mamaloha Highway/Hawai’i Belt Road, Kamehameha Ave, and Banyan Drive. Efforts are focused on improving quality of life for residents by contributing to a healthy social and economic culture.

It is still managed by Debra and Ric, and is still pumping out delicious meals including pancakes, burgers, fries, omelets, milkshakes, and other local favorites. It’s the good food, great staff and awesome community that keeps this place going. Ken’s is, was, and will continue to be a mainstay not just in Hilo, but throughout the entire Big Island. During our conversations leading up to our trip, I learned that, despite being there several times as a kid, Mrs. Island Miler had never been to Ken’s House of Pancakes. It was also the only restaurant in Hilo (at least, in the before times) that was open 24/7 and known throughout the islands for its pancakes and omelets.

Alas, things weren’t quite what I remember them to be. We have currently discontinued our Big Island Museum Discount Pass! Please check the various museums directly to determine if they are open. Those that are open have special new prices and most of them require reservations.

My other complaints with the fried noodles were more personal, with the largest complaint here being the use of green bell peppers. Who the hell puts green pepper in fried noodles?!

Learning that Mrs. Island Miler has never been, I made it a point to get here during our last trip to the area.

Destination Hilo’s flagship “Hawaiian Greetings Program” provides music, entertainment, and networking services to thousands of visitors arriving at Hilo Pier and in Downtown Hilo. In 1990, there were discussions of the possibility of putting the well-known eatery up for sale. It was on a golf course in Honolulu where Lindberg Ching discovered this information. It just so happened that one of his golfing buddies was also Bonnie Twitchell’s realtor. Realizing that this was an opportunity that he could not pass up, he and his wife, Frances Ching, made the decision to purchase the iconic restaurant. He then enlisted his daughter, Debra Ching-Maiava and Ric Maiava, to move to Hilo and manage the budding business.

It wasn’t quite as good as I remember, but that could be due to my now different taste and the rose-tinted glasses effect. There are still chunks of snow crab leg meat in there, along with smaller strands of meat, and I like that the omelet, while fully cooked, wasn’t overdone. The green onions provide a nice, light touch of freshness to what is otherwise a decadent omelet. Ken’s House of Pancakes is a dying breed of restaurant – a true old-school diner that hasn’t changed much over the years.

I wanted to branch out and try something different, opting for the fried noodles. As far as service goes, we went during the after-lunch lull. There weren’t that many employees around, so it took a while for us to get seated and whatnot despite the restaurant being empty.

I’d probably stick with the omelets and pancakes if I do come back, though. This is the place everyone goes when the bars close, when they get kicked out of a closing store, or if they’re doing late night studying sessions. It’s right on the corner of two main roads so it gets a ton of traffic and is pretty much always busy. If you’re craving a lot of diner food and it’s going to be a late night, this is where tourists or locals alike find themselves.

Trips to Hilo often included one or more visits to Ken’s House of Pancakes for brunch, with their tasty omelets, fluffy pancakes, and decadent coconut syrup. It was the perfect start to a day, which would usually include a visit to a black sand beach or adventures in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. During Mrs. Island Miler’s inaugural visit to Ken’s House of Pancakes, she went with the Really Real Snow Crab Omelette with rice and pancakes.

This measurement provides a fundamental basis for cost estimation and is the starting point for determining costs. However, achieving a more precise and detailed estimate also involves considering the specific siding material and how many stories your home is. As with a home’s exterior, various factors will affect how much you pay for an indoor home paint job. The square footage of the home, ceiling height, and the condition of the walls and other surfaces should also be taken into consideration. The best way to estimate exterior painting costs is to first measure the total square footage of the surface you are painting. You can use a tape measurer or a laser measuring tool to determine the length and width of a surface.

Questions to ask exterior painters

Engineered wood takes fewer coats than hardwood, making it less expensive, writes Shoreline Painting. Hardwood siding has to be sanded and primed before painting which increases the costs. You know the people in your neighborhood whose house has patches of peeling paint and a missing shutter from a hurricane 10 years ago? Maybe they've just put off painting their house because they don't know what it will cost or what kind of paint to choose. One of the best ways to give your whole house a fresh, updated look is by painting the exterior.

Cost to Paint House Exterior by Number of Stories

Round up, as it's always better to have too much paint than not enough. You may also need at least one coat of primer, depending on the type of paint and the condition of your exterior. Exterior paint costs around $20 to $80 per gallon, while interior paint costs around $20 to $30 per gallon. Outside paints tend to be pricier because they need to withstand the elements, such as abrasion, moisture, and color corrosion from the sun. In addition, painting the outside of a home is more costly at around $3,060, while painting a home interior costs around $1,920.

The Government Is Paying People to Upgrade Their Home Comfort, Here’s Why

The table below shows the average total cost to paint a home based on how many stories the house is. While painting a home's exterior can be a costly project, there are a number of steps you can take to save money when hiring a pro for this job. Especially for homes with wood sidings, pests like termites and carpenter ants are a real concern. House painting is the perfect opportunity to inspect every inch of the home for potential damage before it’s too advanced. Applying paint will shield the home from insects, and some types of paints are even formulated to be insect-resistant. Depending on the climate in a given area, there are a number of weather conditions that can take a toll on a home’s exterior.

7 Questions to Ask a House Painter.

If you’re painting a multi-story house or walls with high ceilings, you’ll need to be comfortable with heights and ladders. When you hire a professional painter, they should be insured and know the proper safety protocol. Decreasing the square footage, labor, and supplies required to paint can lower costs. For example, the amount of trim, number of doors and windows may drive prices up or down. The more detailed your home's features, the more it could cost to paint.

FAQ About Exterior House Painting Costs

Additionally, if there are any problems with the job or you’re unhappy with the results, you may spend more money to fix mistakes or redo parts of the job. The price may increase if the house needs a lot of preparation or special paint. Remember, these are just rough estimates for painting the outside of a house.

The style and size of each house affect the cost of painting and your budget. You must first use a primer to cover a dark color with a lighter color. The primer stops the dark paint color from showing through and gives you the right color. You will also need ladders, scaffolding, brushes, and rollers, which will cost between $300 and $1000. Before painting your house, consider renting a pressure washer from Home Depot.

7 Paint Colors Realtors Say Increase Your Home's Value.

Posted: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 08:00:00 GMT [source]

A home exterior that is in excellent condition will require less paint than an exterior that is damaged. If the exterior of the home is in disrepair, it will need to be improved before priming and painting can even begin. The typical cost to paint a house ranges from $1,811 to $4,435, with the national average around $3,087, or from $0.50 to $4 per square foot. This average can vary depending on the geographic location of the house. Being aware of the different factors typically helps homeowners to select the paint and materials suitable for their homes. The cost of labor is a huge portion of your total exterior house painting cost.

What exterior colors increase home value?

If your home is covered in vinyl or wood siding, you’ll pay less than if your home is covered in concrete (which will need to be prepped and treated before painting). Expect to pay somewhere around $0.34 to $0.43 per square foot, depending on how your painters apply the new color. If sanding or scraping old paint is involved, your costs will go up.

When budgeting for the cost to paint a house, there are additional price factors and considerations for homeowners to take into account. Some additional costs are paint stripping, equipment and travel fees, and landscaping. The brand of paint being used is another important factor in how much it costs to paint a house. Anyone who has calculated the cost to paint a room in their house knows that choosing a paint brand can feel daunting because of the wide variety of options available. Below are average cost ranges for some of the most popular paint brands.

Professional painters typically charge between $6,250 and $16,250 to paint two-story homes. The average cost, including labor and materials, is around $8,925. You must add 10-50% more square footage for complex designs, like a second story, many corners, or a home with a sloped roof and dormers. These areas take more time and effort to paint, so you’ll need more money in your budget. The same goes for any place with peeling or failing paint – you’ll need to do extra work before you can start painting.
