Happy birthday to me! Jimmy is treating us to a Hilo Hawaiian Sunday Brunch Buffet, located on scenic Banyan Drive in Hilo. They are famous for their local flare and large variety of entrees, sides, salads, soups, and seafood. Plus, they always set up a major dessert station

filled to the brim which includes a frozen yogurt bar!

We have been coming to Queen's Court Restaurant since we first arrived on the Big Island on January 1, 1983.

Choke items to chose from and at a reasonable price! Includes wine, draft beer and

Bloody Marys! Wow!

First stop: Omelette bar. Shrimp, basil, and mushrooms, please.

Local cuisine: Eggs Benedict made with Kalua Pork instead of Canadian bacon. Yummy.

I popped a couple of these puppies in my mouth on the way back to the table!

Prepared salads.

Fresh salad mixings with pickled cucumbers and Kim Chee.

More prepared salads to serve every pallet.

All you can eat shrimp and crab legs. Crab salad on the side, thank you.

My husband is a serious crab leg consumer. This is where he starts and then he progresses towards the omelette station and salad bar.

Fresh and healthy!

Our view from our table. Gorgeous day in paradise.

Round two... be sure to make room for dessert!

With live Hawaiian music playing a brunch always feels more special.

Okay, we are seriously taking our time with this meal.

Watching the kids have fun while jump off the tower on Coconut Island provided good entertainment.

Okay, I've headed over to the dessert bar. Everything chocolate for me!

Light and fluffy Lilikoi Napoleon.

Chocolate Mousse cake looks pretty decadent.

Pumpkin Crunch pie squares and Chocolate Parfaits.

Tiramisu Squares, Haupia Cheesecake with purple potato, and Chocolate Brownies, oh my!

Doesn't look like anyone has been tempted yet to take a fruit skewer from the dessert bar.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

After about 2 hours dining we needed to do some serious moving around. We headed over to the bay and watched the sail boats go by as we walked off some of the bloat we were feeling from that awesome, but very filling, brunch.

I will leave you with a great photo of the shoreline. A black sandy beach and soft gentle waves complete the morning's outing with peace and Love.
