The food was delicious and served quickly! The wait staff was wonderful and friendly. Has a bit of a dive restaurant feel but it was delicious, fresh and really good food!! The value for what you got was the best we have found on the island!! High recommend if you are looking for good eats a reasonable price! It was delicious! read more

We came for brunch yesterday and found out why this place is so popular with locals. The breakfast plates are made with lots of aloha. The pancakes and plates were delicious. They had local dishes like loco moco and spam with rice. We tried their new featured dishes called a special Japanese pork tonkatsu. Wow! It's Best tonkatsu we ever had with juicy premium pork imported from Japan and cooked to perfection. They plan to offer it later in the afternoons and possibly evenings soon. The service was super friendly and helpful. The local restaurant is cozy and welcoming. They also have AC if it gets too warm. We love this island favorite. read more

The food was standard diner food. The mini stack was dollar size pancakes. Light and fluffy. The eggs were cooked perfectly as were hash browns, nice crispy bacon. Portuguese sausage is sliced thin and tastes kinda like polish sausage. Service is prompt and food comes as an item is ready so toast proceeded the rest by a long shot. True local diner feel in a strip mall but friendly and reasonable prices. read more

This is a very casual, local diner. It is located in a shopping mall area. The food, however, is excellent. So are the prices. They have early morning specials for breakfast. The food is cooked to order and is very delicious. The staff is kind and friendly. It is definitely located within the local, residential area. Nothing extravagant about it. Just a down to earth, local diner. The quality of the food, and prices are excellent. Don't go here for the ambience or the fanfare. Just a really good meal. read more

Food tastes how it looks. The service is pay for what you get, took about 45min for a breakfast burrito and some French toast. Staff isn't cognizant about when you're finished with your meal and ready to pay. read more

Had a very confusing experience here ordering through the Yelp app. I ordered as we were driving to the restaurant, but the order status stayed at "pending confirmation from the restaurant" and never updated to "pick up ready". I had no idea what to expect when I arrived to pick up my order, but luckily my order was ready. It sounds like at least for Yelp, they get incoming orders but don't have the ability to send updates back. I wouldn't recommend ordering via the Yelp app as you don't get order updates and prices are more inflated than ordering directly from the restaurant. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the wait didn't seem that bad and we were starving, so we asked if we could get a table and eat our takeout order there. After waiting ~10 minutes, we got a table and I finally opened the food. I'm really glad I decided to eat here, because they actually packed the wrong dish for me. I ordered the stuffed shrimp plate, but they misread that as the stuffed shrimp benedict. I told them about their mistake and they quickly remade my dish. I didn't realize they drizzle hollandaise sauce over the shrimp plate and would've asked them to remove it had I known, since I'm not a fan of the stuff. But after scraping off most of the sauce, I found myself really enjoying the stuffed shrimp. I'm not sure what goes into the stuffing, but there was definitely a lot of mushroom and other tasty thing. The stuffed shrimp paired with some rice really hit the spot after biking in the morning. Portion for this was on the smaller side though. My friend got the broasted chicken breakfast and thought it was just okay. We both felt it was dry. Since we were dining in, my friend ordered a coffee and we shared a mini order of their popular macadamia nut pancakes ($8.75) to try as well. Very happy they offer various sizes of their pancakes for folks like me who just want to try a few bites. I usually prefer savory dishes at brunch but the coconut sauce on top was bomb! Would recommend. read more

Daddy O’s - Ono loco moco w extra gravy - New American Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Daddy O's in Lihue is a simple but classic restaurant serving up Hawaiian/Asia pacific style faire. I went for breakfast with my family. I ordered the local breakfast with bacon. I thought it was really great for what it was. It's affordable and filling and it's a fair price. The service was great. We even got to speak to the owner Daddy O and we learned he was in business at this location for about 10 years and he was a former commander of a gunship at 20 in Vietnam the Vietnam War. WOW. When he is not serving up yummy food in his restaurant he is giving aerial tours and teaching flight lessons for planes and helicopters. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the street, but it is definitely a place you will want to go during your time in Kauai. read more

Food was great and the portions were even better. I think our food came out in literally ten minutes it was so fast. The service was actually amazing and they make you feel like family! Highly recommend! read more

We were looking for a local breakfast spot and found Daddy Os. What a cute experience! It's definitely a local gem as walking in around 9:30 on a Tuesday morning they were pretty full- we got one of the last tables. Service was very kind, local- what you would expect from a family run establishment. They all pitch in with every role, and happy to help! Service and food came out QUICK! They have their routine down in terms of greeting, seated, taking your order and brining out the beverages and food. The menu is local plates, but we came for breakfast so had their breakfast plate and waffles! The waffles were aromatic and delicious! As was the breakfast plate (eggs, sausage, hasbrowns). The servings are larger than average but delicious! This place is in no means "fancy" but I will always love supporting a well run family business that just do the basics PERFECTLY. read more

Tried Daddy O's for breakfast with my family and was pleasantly surprised. We got seated right away and our food came out fast. Our server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Ono Omelet which was really tasty. I had anticipated that it would be pretty oily because of the spam and Portuguese sausage inside, but it wasn't oily at all. The spot is tucked away in the back of a plaza, so it's easy to miss, but definitely worth finding. read more

Go here!! You will not regret it. The food was epic. The loco mock had the classic taste and was cooked to perfection. Wow! The Mac salad was the best I've ever had, I highly recommend it. The service was excellent. The older gentleman asked about us personally and made us feel so welcome. He offered us local specials too. It's a local diner and it lives up to the billing. The physical space is spread out well and perfect for what you are looking for on Kauai. read more

Daddy O’s - Katsu Pork w/ special sauce!!! Highly recommended - New American Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Just the perfect mom and pop restaurant we needed during our stay in Kauai! We came here twice and really enjoyed the food. Breakfast and lunch served all day. We met the owner Henry and he was super welcoming. Remembered us on our second visit. We didn't know what to order so he started us off with Chinese sui mai and steamed pork bun. Good app to start off with! Speciality of the day was the prime rib sandwich, we went with his recommendation and it did not disappoint. My wife enjoyed the sandwich. What really made us come back the second time was the macadamia pancakes. I don't really order pancakes but I wanted to try something more local especially with macadamia. I'll have to say this is the best pancakes I've ever been served. Super fluffy, warm, and the best part was the coconut cream. That literally sold it for me. Henry was right when he told us we'd come back after our first visit. We also tried the breakfast burrito also. Just the right size and everything you can ask for inside a Hawaiian breakfast burrito. Great spot, will recommend anyone to come try! read more

On our way down from Princeville back to the Lihue airport we had three action items. #1 on the list was to have breakfast. I did a Yelp and this caught my eye. Daddy O. So retro sounding. Read the mostly positive reviews. We entered around 8:20am. Got a table with no wait time. Each table is numbered. We were handed a two sided laminated menu. Ordered - * hubby got the big Daddy O breakfast platter - three eggs, three meats, hash browns and two scoops of rice * daughter got the loco moco - two eggs with two hamburger patties two scoops of rice over gravy. * I got the french toast sweet bread with two eggs and Portuguese sausage. Constant coffee refills offered. Constant flow of customers. Located in an unassuming strip mall where the anchor is the bowling alley. Our server turned out to be the owner Harry. We warmed up to him 1/2 way through our breakfast. Then he asked if we liked cha siu baos. And siu mai. Next door is the wiki wiki store where you can grab a quick lunch. Action items #2 was taken care of - we got cha siu baos and siu mais to go. Snacks for our flight home later. I'd return if I'm ever back to Kauai. read more

Off gate, the service was grade A. I was welcomed and seated promptly. My waiter was friendly and helpful. Even threw in a suggestion. The coffee was great and my cup was consistently being refilled. I ordered the Kanaka. I was a wonderful dish. My only grip was that my bacon was hummm either over cooked or old. Minus that, everything was good. read more

Decent place for brunch. We stopped by here for an early lunch before our flight home. It's located in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. For food we ordered the stuffed shrimp Benedict and a mini loco moco with mushrooms added. Food was pretty good. I really enjoyed the stuffed shrimp Benedict. Loco moco was good but nothing crazy. Prices are kind of high for the portion. I wish the Benedict came with a side of fruit or something. read more

We stumbled across this family owned hot spot. They've been opened since 2016, our first time after many years visiting Kauai. Located in a hole-in-the-wall strip mall, Daddy-O's offers breakfast and brunch. This morning we ordered a tasty plate of loco-moco. The gravy is silky smooth and burger patty very flavorful! We also enjoyed a plate with French toast, Portuguese sausage and eggs. The servers working together as a team to make sure you're well taken care of. We would come back to try other menu items. read more
