Where to Eat, Drink Near Hawai'i Bowl 2017

In town for the Hawai'i Bowl between Fresno State and Houston? Here's where to eat and drink nearby the stadium.

The Hawai'i Bowl between Fresno State and Houston is at 8:30 p.m. EST on Christmas Eve. It ranked No. 22 on Eric Single's Entertainment Bowl Rankings. He wrote: “Ed Oliver’s disruptive dominance in the middle of the line is the gift that keeps on giving for those who have stuck with Houston games even after Tom Herman jumped to Texas. After playing Washington and Alabama in back-to-back weeks in December, Jeff Tedford’s Fresno State team has earned itself a Christmas Eve in Hawaii.​"

Sample review (from Kathy Y.): "What's better than a hot messy burger with bacon and avocado! soooo yummy. Got luck with parking right in front we were promptly greeted when we arrived, too may choices to choose from. Burgers are great but can get pricey! Cooked to order we waited about 10 minutes to get them to deliver it to our table, nice location but it can get noisy in there. [If you have an ID Card you can get a discount]"
