The Katsu chicken was delicious. The portion size was very generous. The owner Gina is the chef. She does all the cooking herself. Gina makes the food herself on the spot . Her banana Bread with chocolate chips was the best I've ever had . They were very friendly . If I get back to Kaua'i definitely this will my first place to eat . It's small so seating is outside . My only regret is not going there sooner ! read more

Gina's Anykine Grinds Cafe is a true local gem in Waimea, and I'm so glad I found it. Before arriving on Kaua'i I searched Yelp for highly rated spots and this place stood out--loved by locals, conveniently located right down the street, and sporting nearly 350 glowing reviews. I had to try it, and it completely lived up to the hype. We came for breakfast on our first morning on the island. The staff were friendly and chatty, and I learned the chef has been cooking on the grill here for 19 years--she must have started young, because she doesn't look that old! When I mentioned I'd found them on Yelp because of their outstanding rating, they seemed genuinely surprised and appreciative. I ordered the Loco Moco and it was absolute perfection (and more than enough food). Two scoops of rice, two perfectly seasoned hamburger patties, two eggs, and the most delicious gravy I've had in a long time. The portions were generous and the prices were more than reasonable. I also couldn't resist grabbing some freshly baked Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and Pumpkin Crunch Cake with cream cheese frosting to take back to the cottage. Both were still warm when I got there--pure heaven. The vibe is pure local: simple tables and chairs out front, ideal for people-watching. I fully intended to return for more meals during our stay, but Hurricane Lowell had other plans and they rightfully closed ahead of the storm. Even with just one visit, this place left a lasting impression. Highly recommend Gina's for any meal, but especially breakfast. Support this wonderful local spot--you won't be disappointed! read more

They were wonderful! The owner took the time to personally bring our order out to us and even checked back to make sure everything was fresh and that we were happy. You can tell this is a place the locals love. There's a great variety, a real community atmosphere, and new items to try every day. The loco moco was excellent, the turnovers were amazing, and their daily specialties are definitely worth checking out. Great food, wonderful people, and the kind of local place you're happy you found. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Best mushroom Swiss burger ever! I eat 2 and the waffle fries are Ono and service is sweet! so grateful for this place read more

Locals eat here , so you know it's ono . Had the best teriyaki burger on the island . Simple kine - teriyaki and mayo , perfect ratio to taste all the ingredients . Try em if get chance . read more

My first Loco moko! Man it surpassed all expectations! So delicious. My wife had teri-steak sandwhick and I snuck a bite, omg both are absolutely delicious. Very good vibe and food. read more

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:) read more

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. read more

Anykine is the right adjective. Just ask! We had some delicious veggie omelets there this morning, not on their short but typical Hawai'ian heavy meat menu, but volunteered up by the chef. Perfectly done veggies and eggs. Better than our last fancy breakfast omelet in Po'ipu. Still hot when we them across the street at the park the pier. read more

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! read more

We were looking for a place to get breakfast but just missed their cutoff. We then settled on the corned beef hash moco and the roast pork moco topped with mushrooms and onions. Delicious!! We also ordered the banana bread and coconut pie, which are both a must have!! Excellent service as well! read more

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. read more

Don't miss this gem! The absolute best locomoco! Go regular to get the Kauai beef. Owner is amazing!

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 read more

We ordered loco moco, mushroom Swiss burger, and apple pie. My family thought the loco moco was the best. They really enjoyed the mushroom Swiss burger also. I also ordered apple pie and my wife and I really enjoyed it. I've had food from there in the past and the food quality remains very much the same - awesome. Keep it up Ginas. Oh we were so sad that they are closed on Sunday read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great little breakfast spot with quality food you can get relatively quickly and affordably with friendly staff to top it off

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! read more

My friend and I stopped by for lunch, and was excited to see the different types of Loco Mock's being offered. Although they all sounded good, the Roast Pork Moko caught my attention and I had to try it; the cashier also mentioned that it was her favorite dish. When I got the Roast Pork Moco, it was filled with rice, roast pork, eggs, mushroom, onions and gravy. OMG, the roast pork was super tender and the eggs were light and fluffy! Absolutely delicious! If you're in the Waimea area, I highly suggest stopping by and trying one of their delicious dishes- I will definitely be back to try the other plates. read more

No need for Loco Moco to be any betta 2 burger patties, 2 sunny side up eggs, 2 scoops of rice, grilled onions and mushrooms with brown gravy. ONO! read more

We got the loco moco and the french toast, both were delicious! We also grabbed a fresh baked (still warm) chocolate chip banana bread and it was the best we've ever had! read more

great little spot! the banana bread and sandwiches were great. Would recommend stopping here!

What a flavor bomb! Simple food cooked well. Nice char on the hamburger patty with garlic salt. Heaps of mushrooms in the gravy sets this one apart from the dozens you may have had. And the mouthfeel of the gravy and perfectly fried egg on all on that rice is the perfect start to a great day on the West side. read more

One of Kauai's hidden gems. Ginas never disappoints. The loco moco is broke da mouth ono kine grinds. It gives any other loco moco plate on Oahu a run for its money. The mushrooms and onions are the things that I wish every loco moco included. Along with Ginas' rich/tasty gravy, this plate is hard to compete with. I will definitely be back the next time I'm on Kauai. read more

While on our vacay we came to the spot but we are sooooo glad we came! I just stopped to look for coffee and saw they had Loco Moco which is one of the things I've been wanting to try. She asked if we wanted it with mushrooms and onions and we asked if people usually get it. She said Yes, it's traditional to get it like that. It was sooooo yummmms!! read more

We had breakfast here and we were very impressed with the food and service. The young lady that took our order was delightful. The French toast was next level and the small Loco Moco was outstanding. We can't wait to return. read more

Five stars all the way. This is a simple, walk-in and order at the counter kind of place where all the food is packaged to go, but you can eat it out on the sidewalk at one of the tables. The owner is super nice and we're still talking about the lava burger, fries and teriyaki beef and rice. What prompted me to write this is that on our last night in Kauai we sat around the couch and talked about what we loved most about the island and my nephew (35 years old) said the lava burger was outstanding and he wishes he could go back for another one. If you're heading up to Wailea lookout, try to stop by for lunch.... you won't regret it. read more

We had hamburgers and fries and they were great. Our order taker was very sweet. We also ordered the pumpkin crumbles chicken No place to eat inside but was not a problem read more

Food - 4 Service - 4 Value - 4 Gina's hit the spot for us after a morning in Waimea Canyon area. Hamburger had a nice char to it and the waffle fries were a nice complement. The hamburger plate lunch gad two hamburger patties smothered in gravy and mushrooms and some mac salad. Food took a little longer than we thought it should given how few customers there were. read more

Meant to get the loco moco (thought I pointed to it on the menu) but got hamburger steak (wanted loco moco with hamburger steak but I guess I didn't verbally say loco moco). Had a mini with mushrooms and onions, not much food for $10, especially without the egg. Think it's pretty much the loco moco without the egg, food was quite tasty, portions were a bit small for the price (~$10), felt like I just ate a snack and not a meal. Takeout only, have a few tables outside to eat. read more

I revisited Gina's after a few years and had a good lunch. I ordered the Lava Burger and substituted the fries for potato-mac salad. The burger was great. The cheese and beef patties were the star. The bacon and grilled onions added a nice touch, too. I think I will add mayo next time, it did come with ketchup. The venue was okay, but had outdoor seating only. For lunch, it can be quite warm and sunny, so that would be why I docked 1 star. Also, the order took 20 minutes to complete. read more

Do yourself a favor, and come here. Order the loco moco and prepare to be amazed. This hole in the wall place does not disappoint. Came here on vacation after doing some aggressive hikes at Waimea Canyon (super close FYI!). Total mom and pop joint with authentic, home made cooking. Amazing. Delicious and portions were huge (and I'm a big eater). Could easily share with another person or be prepared for leftovers. Service was slow, but worth the wait!! read more

Ginas Anykine Grinds Cafe - Lunch Loco Moco Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

This place has the best loco moco!!!! It was worth driving all the way from Princeville just to try the loco moco & visit Waimea Canyon. The owner was really nice too! I told her that I wish she would open one in California. The loco moco filled me up from morning until about 6 or 7pm! The gravy was so good that a little girl sitting next to us would just drink the gravy all by itself!! You don't know loco moco until you try gina's loco moco ;) What I meant was you haven't lived life to the fullest unless you try this place ;) Oh yeah!!! What more do you want me to say yelp? Keep my thumbsrolling? Well, it's starting to hurt but ok... Gina's Anykine FTW PEOPLE!! read more
