    Kalua Benedict
    Stephanie Y.

    A hole-in-the wall diner with indoor-outdoor dining with views of the ocean and a sea breeze off the highway. Plenty of parking, the Cafe is the bottom portion of the building that also houses Lanterns Tavern upstairs, which has a big sign (Countryside Cafe does not have signage). So, if you see Lanterns Tavern, you are in the right place. During my visit, outdoors was full, but inside was basic but quaint and gave off those country vibes one doesn't get that often. The menu has a full range, from eggs, pancakes, loco moco to poke, pork chops and seemingly everything in between. I went the breakfast route and the food was really good - at least that Kalua benedict. It consisted of this perfectly salty Kalua pork, spinach, tomato and perfectly poached eggs on an English muffin, topped with a mild hollandaise. And it was reasonably priced for Hawaii (read less than $20), if I recollect, it was closer to that $15 price point. It came with a heaping side of potatoes (or rice). Service was kind and quick. The bathroom while clean was very basic, just a heads up for those that look for a bit more bougie of bathrooms. Overall, a perfect brunch to fill your belly for a day of adventuring.

    It was our "Adventure Day". We decided to drove from town to try this place. OMG, haven't been to that side of the island in years. SO worth the drive. This is a quaint "country" establishment, very homey. Lots of parking, beautiful view of the Waianae shoreline, absolutely beautiful. Friendly wait staff who are so helpful with food recommendations. And the food, OMG, such large portions and Ono too!!! Highly recommended. Make it a day adventure, visit the Westside and support their local businesses.

    Well well well. When you are at a resort and tired of clean, immaculate and air conditioned restaurant, you venture out to to where locals and likely minded tourist hang out together. Feel bad for the restaurant for all the homeless camps across the street destroying local businesses and reputations. As we walked in, one appears to be homeless but wore clean shirt so decided to ignore him till... he got up and started to spit on his food. What the heck.... and started to pace himself back and forth. I somehow ended up ordering the same dish. Overall, food was average, price was ok ansld ambience? Not bad for being local. Am I coming back? Questionable. Service was good. Friendly people. Plenty of parking and you can seat inside or outside.

    Great place for a delicious breakfast! Delicious comfort food-Homemade corn beef hash with fried rice, loco moco, waffles, pancakes, and French toast! Huge portions and staff are all efficient and friendly! That's what like! A welcoming environment, nice staff and delicious food! I will definitely be back!

Love the aloha attitude and home feel ambience is so welcoming. I will keep coming back as it is just that good!!! If you are on the west shore GO!!! And even if you are not GO!!! So worth the drive.

    Walk Through the Country 1000/10 Banana foster French toast had the perfect amount of syrup, taste and the texture was good. Lilikoi buttermilk pancakes were my absolutely favorite! These alone were delicious, they didn't need syrup! They were fluffy and all around goodness. Strawberry waffles had a funnel cake texture/taste. They were crunchy! I loved that! Corned beef hash local moke-o was fresh and not from a can. The shredded corn beef was perfectly mixed into the fried rice. Adobo eggs Benedict were out of this world. The adobo alone was cooked to perfection! I highly recommend Countryside Cafe! We all enjoyed ourselves. There's a good amount of tables inside/outside. Service was good! Everyone was friendly and nice. Do not expect to be in out and quickly though. They have a sign posted inside that says, "we are not a fast food restaurant, every order is made fresh daily, please be patient" If you're on a time restriction, I'd suggest giving yourself roughly 2hrs. We went around 10:45, it wasn't extremely busy, just large groups and they make sure everyone at the table has their plates at the same time.

    Went here with friends after watching YouTuber Hawaiian Traveler video. He was spot on! Food was generous in portion. Service friendly. Ambience casual. Indoor or outdoor seating available. Adobo eggs benedict tasty! Had it with potatoes. Flavorful like kalua pig with adobo flavor. Bananas foster french toast. 4 pieces and sweet! Teriyaki (hamburger), but was actually teri beef sandwich. Lots of meet and crispy on buttered brioche bun. Onion rings crunchy! Fair is fair come check this place out and support the local resteraunt.

    Ordered the garlic shrimp omlette with fried rice. Nice quaint atmosphere and clean inside. The garlic shrimp omlette is tasty and really garlicky.

    On the menu, it's called Walk Around the Country.

    Had breakfast here on a Saturday and Sunday morning while staying in one of the cabins at Pililaau Recreation Center. Service was excellent, as was the food. Easily one of the best breakfast places in Waianae. Highly recommended.

    Countryside Steak (bottom) and Walk through the Country (top)
    Daniel C.

    It's not often I drive to Waianae but it is a very scenic drive there on clear days. We were fortunate it was a clear day when we journeyed there to finally try Countryside Cafe. When we arrived, the place was pretty busy but we were able to be seated right away. They have a private parking lot and offer indoor or outdoor seating options. Due to how the restaurant is situated, you can't really see the ocean while dining but it's located across the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean. We opted to sit inside as it was cooler with the AC. Menus came first and the staff member asked if we wanted anything aside from water to drink. We ordered coffee and it took a few minutes but we got a hot cup of coffee. The coffee was watered down which was a huge disappointment. When our server finally came to take our order, we ordered the Countryside Steak and Walk through the Country. I had my Countryside Steak with potatoes and eggs over easy. It took the kitchen about 20 or so minutes to get our order out. Kinda long considering all the tables had their food orders already. Despite all that, the food was quite good! It came out as ordered. Definitely worth the journey for a nice breakfast and scenic drive. Portions were just right and the country fried steak hit a craving I've had for months. After eating, we sat there for a while waiting for the check but I suppose you walk up to the register to pay. Customer service was almost nonexistent and we had to ask for a coffee refill. The larger parties around us received more attention so that was a little disappointing. It was still nice to finally cross off this bookmark on my list.

The ambiance at Kaʻahaʻaina Café sets it apart from your average neighborhood café. The atmosphere is laid-back and focused on community, embodying a local vibe that truly represents the West Side instead of mimicking a trendy Honolulu idea. The overall experience at Kaʻahaʻaina Café was truly something I valued the most. The vibe was relaxed and inviting, allowing for a seamless transition into enjoying the meal. The service was not only friendly but also efficient, with the staff contributing to a warm atmosphere that perfectly complemented the café's local vibe. That level of reliability is crucial, particularly in a venue where it appears that numerous patrons are familiar faces. From a wider travel viewpoint, I often observe when a café truly embodies the spirit of its local community. Having explored numerous dining spots around the globe, I often find myself recalling those that truly embody their local essence, and Kaʻahaʻaina Café certainly captures that vibe. It's not just about the show. It's all about the cozy vibe, the sense of belonging, and an atmosphere that resonates with the essence of Waiʻanae. Kaʻahaʻaina Café is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the Waiʻanae Coast and are in the mood for a laid-back meal in an authentically local atmosphere. Kaʻahaʻaina Café exudes a sense of community that adds a unique charm, setting it apart from typical café experiences.

This is one of the spots where you won't find a single tourist, because not many venture out to this area. Definitely a local casual spot, but they serve up some delicious food. There was one guy, Angel, working the front and there are plenty of tables inside. We ordered the fried noodles and hurricane chicken for about $20 and shared among 3 of us. I am still dreaming about this dish. The saimin noodles were soo flavorful and had the perfect chew. The hurricane chicken was fried to perfection, juicy, and packed with flavor. SO GOOD.

Inside, there is a farmhouse vibe and about eight comfy booths. A case of baked goods draws your attention at the front counter. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere. The table service is friendly and attentive. Our server told us about the popular garlic chicken or fish fishes. The menu offers breakfast and lunch options. The portion of Garlic Chicken was huge (shareable). The coating was crispy but the sauce was overly sweet for me. Mac salad was good. I substituted the rice for green salad, which was fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Two Egg Breakfast came with four large pieces of bacon. She substituted rice for green salad. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Her breakfast was perfect. They do not have a kid's menu, so we shared our meals with my granddaughter, which was fine as we had a lot of food. Our server brought an extra plate for her. They serve ice cream and have a selection of beautiful desserts but we were full so will return to try out. There is a small private parking lot. The restaurant is walkable from the park/beach.

I ordered our food through the mobile. Got there early so waited in the car until I was notified that my order was ready. When I walked in there was two people ahead of me, but I did not have to wait in line since I ordered ahead. However, when asked my name I noticed that they had only started on one sandwich and it wasn't even done. There were 3 staff, but I practiced patience and they may have been busy with walk in customers before I showed up. I waited patiently and watched as the workers looked new and a little confused as to prioritizing my order versus the people in line. I ordered 4 footlong sandwiches, a bag of chips and six pack of cookies. As Iwatched I noticed that the person making my sandwiches had gloves on but her exposed arm would touch with the bread or other areas as she reached for things or moved. At that point everyone was getting impatient and eyes were rolling so I did not want to cause a commotion, so I ignored it, I knew it was not on purpose and she was not intentionally trying to make contact. When my order was complete the same employee just looked at me and said your order and handed me the bag by the handles. I grabbed it and it ripped luckily the other customer ordering was able to catch the bottom, or my entire order would have bee on the floor. The one positive from my experience, the dining area was clean. Not sure if we will be back, may opt for Nanakuli or another subway before we head home.
