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!
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.
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.
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.
Service was fast since they place orders on their ipads. Everyone works as a team to take orders, bring food and drink, replenish coffee, hand out to go boxes and clear the table. Very efficient to help with the line outside. Ube toast was my main meal with a coconut latte. What a treat! Nothing left for later. The restaurant has a lot of seating without overcrowding. Will return for my next visit
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
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.
LOL.. We came back for the excellent food. I got the Kauai Benedict and hubby got another omelet. I love Hawiian sweet bread, so I deconstructed my Bene and ate the bread alone with a little syrup (yum!). Kaula pork was perfectly fork tender and paired well with my poached egg, yummy hollandaise sauce and crispy hash browns. I took half back with me for lunch :) We got here at 730 am and didn't have to wait. The traffic to get to the restaurant was the longest wait :) Service and Ambiance were great.
Kountry Kitchen is a popular spot and is very convenient when you need a hearty meal! The restaurant parking area can be difficult due to the fact that there's not much street parking, but there is a lot across the street you can park in. It's a very spacious restaurant and has a gift shop inside with a lot of cute items to browse if you need to wait for your table. We had a large group of 8 but were seated quickly and our server was very nice. I had the Loco Moco which is my favorite meal to eat while in Hawaii. It was ok but to be honest, I've had better at other restaurants. I found the patty and gravy lacking in flavor. The menu was very extensive for breakfast and lunch and I'd have no trouble coming back to try other items, but I'll find my Loco Moco elsewhere!
I was really excited to grab breakfast here, but personally I felt like my meal was just okay. My friend and I stopped by for breakfast on our first full day in Kauai. We were able to get seated as soon as we arrived Friday morning around 8 am. There's some limited parking right in front of the restaurant and a much larger dirt lot right across the street where most people were parking. The menu is huge and has all the breakfast/brunch staples you can think of. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted, since everything looked so good, and ultimately went with the corned beef hash loco moco with a side of cornbread for $24. I've never seen this combo before, but as someone who loves corned beef and loco mocos, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunately it fell flat. I didn't feel like there was a lot of corned beef, there was way too much rice (despite all my efforts I had a lot of rice left at the end), and I was NOT a fan of the gravy at all. It tasted pretty weird to me. Also, I got freshly squeezed watermelon juice, which was a special, and didn't realize it would be $9. All the other juices on the menu were only $6, so this came as a surprise to me when I saw the final bill. At least my friend enjoyed his garden omelette ($21), which he got with hash browns and wheat toast. Note: you get 2% off if you pay with cash
It's a place that has to be on your list for breakfast (don't delay get there early as a line is very typical) The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is top notch friendly. Plus visit their little gift shop inside (support local) my personal favorite is the coconut French toast with the coconut syrup I mean nothing screams tropical more than that, those Moco loco is absolutely amazing as well. Ensure this is on your list while in Kauai.
Every time I visit Kauai, I have to stop at Kountry Kitchen -- and I've yet to be disappointed. The service is always friendly, the coffee's solid, and the food is consistently great. The place has that cute, homey diner atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you sit down. I had the special -- a sausage eggs benedict served on cornbread -- while my partner stuck with his usual, the pork loco moco. The special was really good, though I think I still prefer their classic eggs benedict. The cornbread and sausage were a nice twist, though, and definitely worth trying. Kountry Kitchen remains one of my favorite breakfast spots on Kauai -- simple, friendly, and always satisfying.
Kountry Kitchen has an extensive menu filled with classic breakfast items you'd expect to find in Hawaii, such as loco mocos and mac nut pancakes. The place was pretty full the whole time we were there so I'd make a reservation to be safe. Parking is mostly street but I noticed a parking lot by the Public Library that seemed free and open. Once seated, we were greeted by one of the friendliest servers ever! She was so nice and accommodating even though we were a huge group. We loved the recommendations she gave and she even cracked some jokes at our friends' expense. She had a lot of tables to take care of but it never felt like we were forgotten. Fresh Juice: Not sure if it's available every day, but our choices were watermelon, cantaloup, and honeydew. I've never had the last two as fresh juices so we had to order and try it. It looks very artificial but trust me, it's so good. I also liked that none of them were pulpy. They weren't that cold but if they had put some ice cubes in it, it probably would have diluted the flavor. Macadamia Nut French Toast: Their french toasts are made with sweetbread so it's already kind of sweet without the powdered sugar and syrup. I'm not sure if they also bake the bread with mac nuts but they give a lot on top so every bite has a bit of that mac nut flavor. The french toast is also fluffy and moist, pretty good! Traditional Loco Moco: There's multiple things to customize but I ordered it as is, with the traditional beef patty and regular white rice. You can order the eggs any style but I recommend getting them over easy so the yolk can mix in with the gravy and rice. The patty was a little dry but tasted fine with the gravy, which you can ask for more. Also comes with cornbread so make sure to ask for butter and honey! Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and the food. I'd love to come back and try their other savory dishes too! Side note, if you pay with cash, they'll give a 2% discount.

Amazing food lovely staff, but HATE that they replaced the best seating with a useless gift shop- so dumb. Do what you do best-breakfast! Also join the wait online instead of waiting to get there. read more

Excellent place for a great and filling breakfast in Kauai. Excellent Loco Moco and the Sweet Bread French toast is amazing. Service is good. Recommend getting on the waitlist and then head over. Se added our names before leaving Princeville, 30 minutes later...we arrived and still #4 on the waitlist. Eclectic little place, unassuming on the side of the road. Can't miss the bright orange lettering...lol. Worth the wait. More food than you can shake a stick at. read more

The ORIGINAL Kountry Kitchen. Highlight is the ability to get on the waitlist via Yelp, be SURE ALL MEMBERS ARE PRESENT TO BE SEATED. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The menu is the same as the Ewa Beach location. The food is onolicious, I recommend the Ube French toast or the loco moco. There's also merch for sale, gorgeous hand painted hats. read more

I saw this restaurant was highly rated and had to come check it out! It did NOT disappoint! Definitely worth the wait! My husband and I came here for breakfast and we liked it so much we came back a second time! I'm an ube lover and had to get their French toast. REALLY good, not slathered in sauce, perfect amount of balance with ube sauce and it was even topped with coconut flakes! My husband ordered a coconut latte and it was so good we ordered it the second time we came back. Hashbrowns were CRISPY and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. This is the best breakfast place you'll find on Kauai. read more

It was a bit of a wait to get in, but we were a party of 8, so understandable. Our server was fantastic - she had a great sense of humour and said we were a fun group to serve. For context, we were one of her last tables of the day - they close at 1pm and it was well past noon when we were seated. Food was excellent all around and we had a great time. One of our best restaurant experiences on Kaua'i! read more

Service, food, location, vibes all amazing. We ate there twice in two days. Go with someone you can share food with so you can try more. We ordered the caramelized pineapple French toast and the macnut French toast and had a slice of each one plus split a side of bacon... the perfect meal. The macnut iced latte is delicious and the locomoco with fried rice Yum. read more
Good service, food comes out quick. Can accommodate big parties. Highly recommend reservations as this place is popular. All the dishes had generous portion size. Can easily share with 2 people and still be full. The lavender coffee is delicious. read more

Nestled just across the street from the beach, Kountry Kitchen is the kind of spot you can't overlook because of its bright orange building. This cozy restaurant has built a loyal following for good reason, and it doesn't take long to see why. We joined the waitlist ahead of time, which turned out to be a smart move--it's a popular place, especially during peak hours. Fortunately, our wait was short, and we were soon seated in the warm, inviting dining area that feels more like a family living room than a restaurant. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly service that makes you feel like you've been coming here for years. The food is the star of the show: hearty, home-cooked meals that taste like they came straight from someone's grandmother's kitchen. From perfectly cooked pancakes to fluffy French toast, everything we ordered was comforting and full of flavor. Portions are generous, and prices are more than fair for the quality. Kountry Kitchen is the kind of place where memories are made over good food and good company. Whether you're just coming off the beach or looking for a laid-back spot to enjoy a true Hawaiian-style meal, this local favorite delivers every time. Rating: 4.5/5 - Worth the visit, and worth the wait. read more

Really nice decor, good upkeep and great service! Highly recommend the pineapple french toast with their in-house syrup; absolutely delicious. Also fair warning, when they say it's a side of bacon, they are not messing around, it's a healthy portion! Definitely worth the visit if you're on the island. They also have a little gift shop so it's a nice touch. read more
Wholly pancake! Come hungry. What a fun atmosphere and it was nice seeing locals eating there as well. The food was yummy. We waited until the last day of our trip to go and I'm glad we did. It was a nice way to finish our visit Service was great. Juice was a little spendy but it is fresh read more

If you're looking for traditional American breakfast you'll love this place. I'd highly recommend getting on the wait-list via the yelp app as this spot tends to be packed in the mornings. However, if you're not in the virtual que, service is fast and friendly so you won't have to wait too long. The food it's self was good but it was nothing out of this world but maybe it will be for you. read more
WOW, when I was told that this was a must visit place to eat I didn't realize how DELICIOUS it would be! It was definitely worth the 45 min wait, if you plan to visit, I recommend adding yourself to the wait list about 10 mins before arriving. The staff were all so wonderful. I am just amazed at everything about this place. I'll most definitely be back next time I'm in Kauai! read more

We had been to this place 2 years ago and it was the best experience for a Hawaiian breakfast we ever had. It was expensive but the food was well worth the price. My pineapple French toast with coconut syrup was simply amazing. The caramelized pineapple slices burrowed into the rich Hawaiian bread slices made my mouth water. Truly a reason to recommend to everyone who would come to visit Kauai. Fast-forward to today: Service was very muted. Every little request was either not allowed or priced excessively high (like $2 for a small container for syrup). Food was not even close to our original visit. The same pineapple French toast was simply 2 slices of Hawaiian bread with some warm pineapple slices on the side. The rest of our meal was just ok. Nothing like last time. My daughter had the best item: the special Ube pancakes with sweet potato drizzle and coconut syrup was delicious. But the price was much higher than anticipated and all other food items were too high for the quality to compare with last visit. Ambiance was nice as last time and had a very familiar aesthetic. Wish we could recommend but not this time. Hope to have a better experience next time as we visit often. read more
