    Kauai Benedict + Extra crispy hashbrowns
    Luis M.

    Girlfriend and I were trying to grab breakfast before we had to depart for the day, and she found Kountry Kitchen, and goddamn am I glad she did. I gotta say, I generally don't like grabbing food for take-out, it just doesn't taste as good, nor is it as fresh, but this place was worth it. My girlfriend called ahead and found they had a pretty long wait time. Sucked for us, but it's a good sign when there's a line out the door of people waiting to be seated. I was only inside a brief moment to pick up the food, but staff was very friendly, and the hustle and buzzle of the place gave this brunch spot that air of "you will clean your plate, you will eat too much, and you will like it." We decided on the Kauai Benedict and it was phenomenal. Egg's were on point in flavor and texture, the sweet roll worked as the perfect vessel for the flavors, and the kahlua pork was fantastic, cooked well, and seasoned flawlessly. To top it all off, they honored our request for extra crispy hash browns. It really does make one wonder, how much better would things have been if we didn't have to order for take out and we had the chance to dine in? 5/5 experience.

    You know the saying .... "Never judge a book by its cover." I've passed up Kountry Kitchen on previous visits, but this time ... I'm glad I didn't!! It may not look like much from the outside, but step inside and it has warm, welcoming vibes! Kountry Kitchen is inviting when you step in. It's clean and the servers are very friendly! They have a good selection of breakfast and lunch items. My sister and I both ordered a traditional Benedict-she got hash browns & I got rice with mine. Fruit was the other option. The Benedict was tasty and filling. Large farm fresh eggs and a fairly thick slice of smoky ham. Hollandaise sauce was good. I definitely look forward to trying their Belgian waffles on my next visit. If you plan to dine here, I strongly recommend joining their waitlist on Yelp. Honestly, this is what impressed me most. My sister & I were driving from Princeville. And halfway to Kountry Kitchen, I joined the waitlist. I was 13th "in line." I checked in on their iPad upon our arrival and no less than 5 minutes later, we were taken back. I was worried that we'd be late because the highway was down to one lane at one point and traffic was crawling. By the time we got moving, we were 5th in line. We couldn't have timed it better!

    Kauai still hasn't recovered from the pandemic. On a Saturday morning, not that early, it was tough to find anything that was open. The timing was such that they turned on the "open" sign as we were passing by. It's on Kuhio Highway, so there's free parking in front and a pay lot on the side. Note: The pay lot isn't paved and is very bumpy and rocky. There's a small cafe side and a larger restaurant side, with the kitchen in the middle. We were getting takeout do we opted for the cafe. There are a few tables and chairs. Prices were predictably high, but the portions were generous, and the food was good. I had the breakfast sandwich with eggs (not green) and ham. It was quite large, compared to any other breakfast sandwich I've had. The three others in my party enjoyed their food and drink, too. It would be nice to come back for lunch.

    There was a long wait but the food was amazing we got the the coconut French toast which were very light not very sweet even with syrup which was good because I don't like a crazy sweet breakfast and coconut is my favorite. My husband got the pulled pork Benedict which very good.

    Eggs Benedict - yummy!

    Excellent breakfast locale on the East side, you can get reservations on major holidays. For other days get their early. They have wonderful specials and fun artwork available. It's a hopping local spot.

    Delicious home style grinds! I checked in as a party of 1 around 10 AM and was quoted a 50 min wait, but I actually ended up getting seated within 10-20 min. I got seated in a small corner, which was fine. I got the loco moco, which came with a big patty and drenched in gravy. The waitress was very nice, and actually checked in on me looking concerned because I ate my food so fast haha. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area!

    Ube Mochi pancakes - the special of the day

    We stumbled upon Kountry Kitchen while looking for breakfast. It was fairly empty when we arrived but quickly filled up which, to me, indicates a good breakfast reputation. The hashbrowns were crispy, the omelets were plentiful and the pancakes were huge. Portion size was reflected in the prices which, honestly, are pretty standard Hawaii prices (it just hurts this Texan to pay $20+ for a simple ingredient meal). The restroom was extremely clean and spacious. Kudos to the staff! Heads up: being cash if you want to save 2% or else be prepare for a 3% up charge for credit card purchases.

    Fresh papaya juice!

    Kountry Kitchen is our traditional First breakfast every time we vacation in Kauai. It's got an old school Hawaii vibe with traditional pictures and decor. They have the classic Hawaiian Fair like loco moco and macadamia nut pancakes with juices they make fresh every morning. Our server Carrie is SO friendly and delivers the ALOHA!

    Portuguese Sausage

    I visited Kountry Kitchen in Kapaʻa, Kauaʻi, Hawaii [4-1485 Kuhio Hwy] on Thursday, 01/22/26, around 10:30 AM. Giving two stars for a restaurant is rare from my end. Unfortunately, this restaurant provided a gigantic lackluster, and underwhelming experience. Here were the main issues: * The service was quite slow. It took a long while to be greeted initially at the table, and even longer to receive the bill at the end. * There were a few flies around during the entire meal, which made it super difficult to enjoy my food in peace. My comfort in eating was stripped away. * Parking was difficult to find in the immediate area. I had to park my vehicle up the street. * The price points for breakfast food were teetering more on the slightly expensive side. On the positive side, the food tasted decent. I ordered the Kalua Pork & Egg with a side of white toast and Portuguese Sausage. The wait time for seating was minimal, and the restaurant's interior was nice, especially with the gift shop filled with a lot of rooster-related products. Overall, I was not pleased with this visit, as it was a huge disappointment and letdown. Please take all things noted into consideration when coming to Kountry Kitchen.

    Emma M.

    Great breakfast spot! We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Hostess and server were friendly and attentive. Ordered the macadamia French toast, Nutella waffle with bacon and eggs . All of it was delicious! Easy to understand why this place is so popular.

    Ube French Toast - Regular
    Lenel B.

    Checked out this breakfast place based on other reviews raving about the coconut syrup and pancakes. I pictured the inside differently, but it was clean and they had plenty of seating and high chairs for little ones. The Ube French toast, was delicious and probably the best "Ube sweet breakfast" I enjoyed while vacationing on the islands, but other than that I wouldn't return. It was on the pricier side, but the service was good overall. The loco moco was probably our least favorite on the island. They do have a gift shop in the front of the restaurant you can purchase from and they'll even ship it out for you for a fee. The coffee was good, but they'll charge you $2 for a to-go cup. If you pay in cash there is a small discount.

    Hello Fellow Yelpers First time visitor here and was told that we had to try Kountry Kitchen. Heads up, this place is very popular and always has a wait. I was not disappointed with the food and wonderful service. We already on our second visit. Cute little gift store Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful Happy Yelping and please follow me for more awesome reviews

    Bacon Avocado Benedict - Regular
    Chloe W.

    This was the perfect spot for brunch on our first day in the Kapa'a area! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the menu was great. we ordered Kalua Pork Grilled Cheese, the Corned Beef Hash, the Bacon Avocado Grilled Cheese, and of course, a side of spam. Everything we tried was delicious, but the Kalua Pork was a standout! Make sure you go ahead and join the waitlist on Yelp - when we arrived there was a 25 minute wait and once we were seated it was another 30 minute wait for our order.

Not the bartenders specifically but the management is clearly not helping the bartenders have enough time to take care of the peeps at the bar. They are carrying the whole place it seems like... I mean to say they are busy busy busy and the glasses are empty because they can't keep up! More bar tenders would help a TON or relieve the pressure from the restaurant drinks. Food is good... location is off the hook, terrific ambiance... but you could have an AA meeting at the bar, make sense? I'll be back, but... If this bar was anywhere but where it is... it would be my second choice to hang... hope it make sense Side note, I love live music, they had it! ++++ but hard to hear because the bar acoustics are awful

    If you're visiting Kauai and looking for a local lunch spot, Pono Market is a must…read more We stopped in for lunch and ordered a little bit of everything: pork lau lau (which was a hit with my toddler, no less!), a couple of different poke options, and a plate with karaage and poke. I can't remember exactly which poke varieties we got, but I believe one was their shoyu poke and the other was a spicy ahi. Regardless, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. This is exactly the kind of mom-and-pop spot I love finding while traveling. No frills, just friendly people serving great food at reasonable prices. The poke was fresh, the karaage was flavorful, and the lau lau was tender and comforting. The staff was welcoming, the portions were generous, and the prices were fair, especially considering the quality of the food. There are plenty of places to eat on Kauai, but spots like this are what make a trip memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're on the island.

    FISH MARKET, full of regulars who know how to order, not tourist heavy. (serves hot food, too)…read more But, if you're like us, and wanted POKE the internet told you was great, then just order 1 POKE BOWL (only 1 fish type offered, no frills, no pretty toppings, sorry Insta dorks) - and maybe add A SIDE of another poke. And take it, somewhere else, to eat. No tables or seats, in this market. We ate ours, in the car, before heading to the airport. It was delicious, really fresh. Opens at 6am, so has that "We just caught this" feel. And not as "Pricey" as some Yelp Reviewers claimed it to be.
