    Perfect place to grab breakfast to fill up before going up the Waimea canyon. Got the mini loco moco and the mini roast pork moco. Even the mini's are dense and filling. Taste was good, but gravy maybe a bit too strong for me. Banana bread was so moist and delicious. Quite dense so need to share this thing. Good food, good price, friendly place. Took our food across the street to the pier to eat. Not much to see there and sketchy folk with dog that came around the table. Maybe best to just eat piping hot at Gina's Anykine outside small tables:)

    The crunchy, crinkle fries.

    You know that when you walk into an establishment and it's filled with locals that you are at the right place. All of them were friendly and welcoming. Always a good sign. Holy cow!! These are the best burgers in the universe. We all ordered various burgers with cheese, bacon, etc. My husband ordered a teriyaki steak sandwich. The meat was juicy and tender on all of our sandwiches. The sandwiches came with lettuce, tomatoes, onion etc. The layers didn't slide around as we took bites from our sandwiches. Truly exceptional. Everyone in our party was beyond the moon over this food. I'm not one to order beef usually but I'm so glad I did. But you can also get chicken if you're not into beef. We shared two bags of the crinkle or waffle fries. The potatoes were fresh and crisp. They had the perfect crunch. I could have eaten those continuously all day. We enjoyed our own beverages out front. We also ordered the pumpkin crunch bread/cake and the banana chocolate chip bread (I think that's what it's called) We will enjoy them for dessert later. The most important thing to point out is the value. You will not eat anything this delicious at these prices ever. Anyway, we are definitely coming back. Just one more great reason to hang out in Waimea.

    The loco moco was fantastic and I would get it again. The chicken was pretty good but a little dry, not the best we had on the island. The Mac salad is pretty good too. The service was fantastic and the staff was very friendly. The portions were very large too. There was no inside seating really so we did have to do takeout and eat outside but it was beautiful!

    We were on our way to Waimea Canyon and decided to grab a small bite. Stopped in to get a mini teri beef. Sooooo delicious!!! Friendly staff and seemed like a local favorite for their loco moco. They use grass fed beef. Take place, maybe seating outside. We arrived about 30 min before they close.

    Stopped here after driving up to Waimea Canyon. It's a small shop along the main road with a few tables outside. Hubby was in search of another loco moco so he got the chicken katsu loco with mushrooms. I had a Teri cheeseburger with waffle fries. I enjoyed it. Staff was very nice

    Stopped by here on the way up to Waimea, and it was such a great place for breakfast! We originally wanted to go for their breakfast burrito but they were out that day, so we got their special of biscuits and gravy and their staple French toast, and of course, the pumpkin crunch. The B&G was yummy, on the peppery side, and I could tell the biscuits were homemade. Super fluffy. The French toast is honestly the best I've ever had, it came out fresh and crispy, but also chewy, and the pumpkin crunch was life changing. Service was great and very kind, and the outdoor seating is nice. Gotta try the breakfast burrito next time

    My dog also enjoyed it haha

    Winnahs! We drove all the way from Kapaa for this goodness and it was worth every minute and mile of driving! I was looking for good local kine loco moco with old school brown gravy, onions, and hamburger patty with egg. Nothing fancy, no small portions either and let me tell you, this fit the bill! So flavorful, the plate was super heavy! Onions and mushrooms were plentiful and the onions were nice and caramelized. Rice was nice texture not too mushy and not too hard- just right! Egg was runny as it should be! Hamburger patty was nicely cooked, not dry. We got side order of fries and corned beef hash because we were on vacay so why not and I highly recommend those additions- no regerts haha. Super small shop no more inside dining but get small area of tables outside. Perfect takeout spot! Workers are nice and friendly too per husband who picked up the goodness. Definitely come check this place out!

    Banana bread is awesome.

    The chocolate chip banana bread is fantastic! The owners are great. Perfect place for a quick lunch.

    Located on Kaumualii Hwy in Waimea on the way to Waimea Canyon. Great place for a bite either before or after a hike. Great little Cafe with amazing tasty food. I ordered the bacon cheese burger with the local beef patty and fries and I was blown away. The burger was simply delicious. I also couldn't pass on the pumpkin crunch, super delicious. They have a few tables outside and by the movie theater to sit and enjoy your food. It's also a great place to people watch. Service was absolutely superb! I am definitely coming back to Gina's Anykine Grinds.

    Small shop with a limited menu on certain days. Staff was very friendly and gave us each a small piece of fresh banana bread. Delicious. I wanted a breakfast burrito, but apparently they didn't make them for the day we were there. They prepare them ahead of time and it's a grab/go situation. I decided to have an omelette instead and it was fresh/tastly. My wife had the small Loco Moco and it was filling. We all liked our meals and sat outside to eat. Good coffee too.

    Chicken Katsu and crispy fries

    Gina's is not Open everyday and it closes early, so we always check ahead of time because we don't want to miss out! The food is fantastic! We had Loco Moco and Chicken Katsu plus a side of her super crispy fries. If you're near Waimea, come to Gina's. You can't miss! Oh so good!

They have signs on the ground floor telling you to look up. Too funny since i parked on the street and was looking for the place when a worker said it was upstairs. The best place to park is along Koloa Road and take the stairs up and to the left. When I entered the place I liked it right away. The restaurant was so clean and crisp looking. Something about it , was really neat looking. It was Asian ruined. I liked the music they were playing too. A little techno but that soon changed to country ugh. heheh. We were greeted right away and also seated the same. There were only a few tables taken up at this time since it was only half an hour since they had opened. The staff was really friendly and explained the specials and the favorite menu items. There was so much i wanted to try but there were only the wife and I. The wife got the pigs in a blanket. She said the eggs were cooked perfectly, nice and soft. Liked it I started with the special banana bread bites which were yummy. Then I got the pork hash and fried rice. It looked wonderful and tasted great. Loved it. I knew this was the place to go for a fantastic breakfast. We loved it so much we came here , I think 3 or 4 times during our stay. If we lived here they would call us by name. Next time we got the All about the Bennys. The wife got it with pork belly and it didn't disappoint. so good. I had to try the pancakes so I got one Lilikoi It was so yummy and flaky the wife didn't care for the roasted macadamia nuts but I liked them roasted. Had to get the Loco Moco your way. So I got the shaved prime rib. Wow so perfect. Loved the flavor and it sure hit the spot. Next day the wife got the two eggs with bacon and a crispy shredded potatoes which were amazing. Loved the crunchy potatoes. It was her favorite. I got the crispy pulled pork sandwich and it was just ok , it was kind of dry and I had to ask for bbq sauce to get it down. Won't get that again. And of course another Lilikoi pancake. Last trip the wife got the two eggs and bacon with the crispy potatoes. I got the Loco Moco with the beef patty this time. Of course another Lilikoi pancake. Till the next time we are back in Kauai. We will be back. Funny now the staff welcomed us back because we went there so many times. Love the food. A most stop at place.

    I really wanted to like this place. It's right on the grounds of the Waimea Plantation Cottages…read morewhere we were staying, the online reviews were solid, and everyone seemed to rave about the chicken. I figured it would be a convenient, can't-miss spot during our Kaua'i vacation. Unfortunately, it wasn't. We stopped by early on a Friday evening in early September. The place was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night (maybe the off-season after the summer crowds left), which should have been a good sign for service. I ordered the Loaded Fries with Chicken and my mom got the cheeseburger. The fries themselves were the highlight--crispy and fine on their own. Everything else went downhill from there. The chicken arrived cold and had an odd fishy taste (odd, since I don't believe fish is even on the menu). The pico de gallo tasted old. My mom's burger was nearly raw despite being ordered well done, and the tomato was so underripe she pulled it off and set it aside--pretty telling, since she loves tomatoes. Our server never returned to check on us, so we had no chance to mention any of this. Later that night some family and friends who'd been there before asked how it went. When we said the food was bad, they admitted they'd only ever gone for drinks. So the next evening we gave the bar a try. I ordered a Red Dirt Mai Tai and my mom had the Kalalau Skies (white rum, lime, pineapple, coconut cream). Both drinks were weak, poorly mixed, and overpriced. Watching a kid who looked barely of age prepare them didn't inspire confidence. We left disappointed again and headed back to the cottage so I could make a proper old fashioned myself. Hurricane Lowell cut the rest of the trip short, so we never got a third chance. I hope the restaurant weathered the storm and comes back stronger. Based on two visits, though--one for food, one for drinks--I can't recommend it. Convenient location, but the quality just wasn't there.

The Kekkahot chicken was just as impressive. If you've had Zippy's Korean Chicken, imagine that but better. The chicken was incredibly moist, the breading stayed crunchy, and the savory sauce coated everything without making it soggy. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star visit was the mac salad. It was a little bland for my taste, not bad by any means, just average compared to how good everything else was. That being said, I'd definitely come back especially for that mahi katsu.

I would stop by here again if I were in the area. The staff was friendly here.
