Food Scene
Cheapest, but somehow still the greatest place to eat in Volcano. Call ahead if you're in a hurry as they can get busy. The pumpkin curry helped build this house!
(11-6 everyday but Sunday. Call them if you need to know for sure as they sometimes take other days off.)

I can't recommend anything besides the Denver omelette cuz that's what I get every single time!
(Open 7am or earlier-6pm everyday, but the kitchen closes around 2 so don't miss that!)
Here you can find bags or blocks of ice for the cooler.

Featuring a great fireplace to sit around, they have a lot of different culinary options from around the world along with some great locally-inspired menu items and cocktails.
I'd go with the German sausage plate with house-made sauerkraut.
