Reviews Summary
Magics Beach Grill offers a fantastic beachfront ambiance with stunning ocean views, especially at sunset. Guests rave about the fresh seafood, popular appetizers like Ahi Poke Nachos and Magic's Wings, and refreshing cocktails. However, some reviews mention that the food can be inconsistent, with occasional disappointments in dishes like fish and chips or certain steak cuts, and some find it a bit pricey for the overall quality. The service is generally praised, though there are minor mentions of minor issues like staff odor.
"If I could give this place more stars I would. This was our last meal on our trip to the big island and it didn't disappoint one bit. The seafood was very tasty and fresh. The cajun pasta was not salty which tends to happen at most places. The shrimp were huge and cooked just right! Needless to say the entire table was happy with their meal. Dont hesitate coming to this place. The food, music, vibe and THE VIEW at sunset is spectacular. Id suggest making a reservation! Sorry the pictures I added are not of the view from this restaurant 😆 but yes from the big island."

We had made a reservation at just the right time to enjoy the sunset, but unfortunately, it was cloudy and we couldn’t see the sun setting over the ocean. Still, the soft light peeking through the clouds and the glow of the torches being lit created a truly beautiful and memorable atmosphere. Even though the ocean itself was blocked from our seats by a low wall, the beachside ambiance was absolutely fantastic. We sat outside and fully enjoyed the setting.🌇🌊
We ordered the Ola IPA ($10), Yuzu Ranch Water ($16), Ahi Poke Tower ($22), Magic’s Famous Ono Fish & Chips ($34), and the Cajun Shrimp Pasta ($34). The Yuzu Ranch Water didn’t really taste like yuzu and felt a bit too strong for me, so I ended up switching to a mocktail — the Keiki Tai ($9) — which was very refreshing. My husband wanted to order a second beer, but our server never came back to check in, so he didn’t get the chance. As a result, I offered him my drink instead.🍸🍺
The Ahi Poke Tower, while tasty, didn’t really live up to its name in terms of presentation — it wasn’t much of a "tower," which was a bit disappointing. The Fish & Chips were on the thin side, but nice and crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. The pasta came with several large shrimp and was satisfying, though I personally prefer spaghetti-type noodles that hold onto the sauce a bit more.
One minor distraction — and I hesitate to even mention this — we did notice a strong sweat odor from one of the staff members each time they passed by. We understand they were working hard, but it did slightly affect our comfort.
That said, the wonderful setting made up for the small inconveniences. All in all, we had a fun, memorable dinner in a truly special location.💖"

"We highly recommend Magic’s!! This is our first time to the Big Island and a friend recommended Magic’s to us. We are so thankful for that recommendation that we wanted to share it with others here 🙏
From the moment that we walked up to the hostess stand, we were greeted as if we were coming home. The true feeling of Aloha. We had just arrived midday and were slightly dragging from a long days travel. We got our walk on and headed over just to have a small bite. We ended up staying longer and working our way through the pupu menu and enjoying some refreshing cocktails. We enjoyed our conversation with our waitress Savannah, who was beyond expectations, so friendly, and so truly welcoming. We tried one pupu at a time and Savannah and the other servers were so happy that we were just sitting and relaxing, and there was no rush at all. How refreshing! We started with the Chef’s Fresh Catch Ceviche, and it was perfectly proportioned and absolutely delicious. After that experience, we decided to stay and have a little bit more so we tried the Ahi Poke Nachos … and holy moly, SO incredible! We were tempted to lick the plate afterwards, but refrained 😂 We finished off with Magic’s Wings and opted for the Sticky Shoyu Sauce. Honestly, YUM!!! we couldn’t have asked for a better first day experience. Everyone was so friendly when we were leaving and welcomed us back anytime. We overlapped with the dinner crowd and everything that was coming out looked incredible as well so we are planning on going back for dinner. Thank you to everyone at Magic’s (the host, the servers especially Savannah, the chef and kitchen staff) for such an amazingly memorable experience!!!"
