Their macadamia pancakes and broasted chicken still hit. It's such a family-friendly restaurant. The servers were all very kind, especially with our toddler in tow. Their breakfast plates are so comforting. If I could, I'd eat here all the time. There's plenty of parking. Daddy O's is not too far from the airport, and it's pretty easy to get to if you're in the Lihue area.

I had the shrimp Benedict's, my mom ordered the oxtail soup and everyone else ordered pancakes and bacon. The only reason I'm removing a star is due to service. Henry or Daddy O wasn't as friendly as the rest of the staff. There's only a few people working at this small establishment and when they get busy you can expect not so great service from the waitress and Daddy O. But if you get passed service, the food is delicious.

There is a large parking lot leading to two buildings, the right is the restrooms and proshop and the left is the restaurant with covered outdoor seating in the back. The order counter has a nice video menu display where you can review selections. There were many locals coming in for the food, not necessarily golfing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our food was fresh and tasted great. I had the early breakfast which is an egg anyway, a meat (corned beef hash) and a bread (English muffin). My wife had the everything bagel Lox with salmon. Both plates were brought to the table with utensils by staff. Presentation was nice with orange garnish. We were checked on regularly with our coffee. Corned beef was mostly potato, but still tasty. Quiet today, with average conversation noise. Clean, restrooms needed a little assistance. If you want a nice off the beaten path location, that is quiet in the early morning and a reasonably priced, then this is a nice local stop.

I had the pineapple chicken which came with two scoops rice and scoop of macaroni salad. I couldn't finish the last half scoop of rice but crushed the rest. The pineapple chicken wasn't overly sweet and chicken was tender. I'd eat here once a week if we had a spot like this in San Diego. My family had chicken katsu plate, chicken teriyaki plate and a grilled cheese. This is a totally family and kid friendly spot. Staff feels family run and very high quality service. When we visit Kauai again - this spot will be on the list.

The food was consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home each time we visited. If you're looking for great quality food, generous portions, and excellent service, Kauai Diner is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're on Kauai. Highly recommended!

Immediately entering the store we were greeted by the cashier (which I'm presuming is the owner) welcoming us in. The overall feel and vibe of the shop was clean and accommodating for people to sit and relax. I ordered the caramel haze with oat milk which totalled around $9. The tasted really sweet and the texture was perfect. Generally with oat milk drinks it can be sometimes powdery but I believe the ice cream helped make drink overall creamy. If you're visiting Kauai and have a few minutes for some coffee after arriving, this is a perfect first coffee place to check out!

When we sat down though the hostess was not quite the nicest, but still did her job (even if it took a while). When bringing out the food, almost the whole tables were warm, even if it was a $90 steak. I ordered the Duke's Cheeseburger and it was enjoyable. The manager was super nice, and after talking about this with him, he decided to help us out! The ambiance of the place was amazing, and loved the statues and mood the entire time.

There's 2 sections to the restaurant: upstairs is more prime rib and lobster and downstairs is more tacos and burgers (we opted for the latter). We shared the calamari- the shape was unexpected, but it had a great flavor and texture. I ordered the Mac nut fish, which was swordfish at the time, and the sauce it came with was so good. My husband ordered the kalbi ribs and chicken, which he enjoyed.

The staff is still incredibly kind and friendly. They were just as welcoming as we remembered, and that alone makes me want to support this place. This time, though, the açaí bowl wasn't quite the same. The base tasted much more like banana than açaí, and there wasn't as much fruit as our first visit. It just didn't feel as balanced or as fresh as the bowl we had before. I still think it's worth checking out because the people working here are genuinely wonderful. I'm hoping this was just an off day since our first experience was so much better!

The covered outdoor tables were a huge plus when the typical Kauai showers came through. It's such a cute, relaxing spot and definitely worth stopping at if you're in Lihue.
