A hole-in-the wall diner with indoor-outdoor dining with views of the ocean and a sea breeze off the highway. Plenty of parking, the Cafe is the bottom portion of the building that also houses Lanterns Tavern upstairs, which has a big sign (Countryside Cafe does not have signage). So, if you see Lanterns Tavern, you are in the right place. During my visit, outdoors was full, but inside was basic but quaint and gave off those country vibes one doesn't get that often. The menu has a full range, from eggs, pancakes, loco moco to poke, pork chops and seemingly everything in between. I went the breakfast route and the food was really good - at least that Kalua benedict. It consisted of this perfectly salty Kalua pork, spinach, tomato and perfectly poached eggs on an English muffin, topped with a mild hollandaise. And it was reasonably priced for Hawaii (read less than $20), if I recollect, it was closer to that $15 price point. It came with a heaping side of potatoes (or rice). Service was kind and quick. The bathroom while clean was very basic, just a heads up for those that look for a bit more bougie of bathrooms. Overall, a perfect brunch to fill your belly for a day of adventuring. read more

Located a few minutes before the Waianae mall, this cafe overlooks the beach and is a quaint breakfast spot. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful view, however, there were numerous flies and cats hanging around the seating area. Tip: Don't sit at the outdoor table near the door as you will be constantly hearing the bell ring each time someone uses the door. Food was pretty good. The Kim chee fried rice was tasty but the spice level was pretty mild. Service was fine. No major issues though we did feel a bit rushed. Overall, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but it's fine if I was in the area. Much rather go to Liliha bakery for the ambiance and service. read more

This is a quaint "country" establishment, very homey. Lots of parking, beautiful view of the Waianae shoreline, absolutely beautiful. Friendly wait staff who are so helpful with food recommendations. And the food, OMG, such large portions and Ono too!!! Highly recommended. Make it a day adventure, visit the Westside and support their local businesses. read more

Well well well. When you are at a resort and tired of clean, immaculate and air conditioned restaurant, you venture out to to where locals and likely minded tourist hang out together. Feel bad for the restaurant for all the homeless camps across the street destroying local businesses and reputations. As we walked in, one appears to be homeless but wore clean shirt so decided to ignore him till... he got up and started to spit on his food. What the heck.... and started to pace himself back and forth. I somehow ended up ordering the same dish. Overall, food was average, price was ok ansld ambience? Not bad for being local. Am I coming back? Questionable. Service was good. Friendly people. Plenty of parking and you can seat inside or outside. read more

Saw YouTuber eat here and thought to check it out.Waited 45 minutes for our table, which was understandable, but also waited almost if not another hour for our food and it wasn't even that busy!Server was an older lady, pleasant but never checked on us or refilled our waters and we had to ask another server to refill our coffees. Didn't apologize about the wait until food was coming out. Food was okay. Mac nut pancakes came when we were all done eating. We love to support local businesses but would not ever go back! read more

That is a cute and laid back breakfast/lunch spot you should definitely try if you're in the west side. There is inside and outside seating and the seating can accommodate med/larger sized groups. *Something important to note* do not expect a speedy service when coming to this location. They do make it know by a sign inside that this is not a fast food establishment. Be patient and relaxed and just enjoy your environment. Water is complementary and brought out when you're sat, we ordered coffee and they come in cool metal thermal mugs. I had the banana fosters French toast and a side of biscuits and gravy. My husband had the meat lovers scrambler. The banana French toast is super sweet and could have used more bananas and less sauce, but it was still very good. I LOVED their biscuits and gravy. The biscuits had a good texture and great fluffy taste. Their gravy was well seasoned and ideal consistency. read more

This place was so amazing I have been craving it after the last time!!! So we had to go back!!! Your food if is worth the wait it takes, as they make it to order!!! Love the aloha attitude and home feel ambience is so welcoming. I will keep coming back as it is just that good!!! If you are on the west shore GO!!! And even if you are not GO!!! So worth the drive. read more

Great food. Area seemed a little sketchy. Homeless man was sitting in patio area. Inside the dining area is small but they will take your number and give you a call when a table is ready. We waited maybe 10 mins. The food was outstanding... maybe a little pricey for the atmosphere but great service. read more

Walk Through the Country 1000/10 Banana foster French toast had the perfect amount of syrup, taste and the texture was good. Lilikoi buttermilk pancakes were my absolutely favorite! These alone were delicious, they didn't need syrup! They were fluffy and all around goodness. Strawberry waffles had a funnel cake texture/taste. They were crunchy! I loved that! Corned beef hash local moke-o was fresh and not from a can. The shredded corn beef was perfectly mixed into the fried rice. Adobo eggs Benedict were out of this world. The adobo alone was cooked to perfection! I highly recommend Countryside Cafe! We all enjoyed ourselves. There's a good amount of tables inside/outside. Service was good! Everyone was friendly and nice. Do not expect to be in out and quickly though. They have a sign posted inside that says, "we are not a fast food restaurant, every order is made fresh daily, please be patient" If you're on a time restriction, I'd suggest giving yourself roughly 2hrs. We went around 10:45, it wasn't extremely busy, just large groups and they make sure everyone at the table has their plates at the same time. read more

Went here with friends after watching YouTuber Hawaiian Traveler video. He was spot on! Food was generous in portion. Service friendly. Ambience casual. Indoor or outdoor seating available. Adobo eggs benedict tasty! Had it with potatoes. Flavorful like kalua pig with adobo flavor. Bananas foster french toast. 4 pieces and sweet! Teriyaki (hamburger), but was actually teri beef sandwich. Lots of meet and crispy on buttered brioche bun. Onion rings crunchy! Fair is fair come check this place out and support the local resteraunt. read more

Countryside Cafe - On the menu, it's called Walk Around the Country. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

Good food and amazing stuff. The breakfast is very good.the the workers are very friendly and amazing.

It's not often I drive to Waianae but it is a very scenic drive there on clear days. We were fortunate it was a clear day when we journeyed there to finally try Countryside Cafe. When we arrived, the place was pretty busy but we were able to be seated right away. They have a private parking lot and offer indoor or outdoor seating options. Due to how the restaurant is situated, you can't really see the ocean while dining but it's located across the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean. We opted to sit inside as it was cooler with the AC. Menus came first and the staff member asked if we wanted anything aside from water to drink. We ordered coffee and it took a few minutes but we got a hot cup of coffee. The coffee was watered down which was a huge disappointment. When our server finally came to take our order, we ordered the Countryside Steak and Walk through the Country. I had my Countryside Steak with potatoes and eggs over easy. It took the kitchen about 20 or so minutes to get our order out. Kinda long considering all the tables had their food orders already. Despite all that, the food was quite good! It came out as ordered. Definitely worth the journey for a nice breakfast and scenic drive. Portions were just right and the country fried steak hit a craving I've had for months. After eating, we sat there for a while waiting for the check but I suppose you walk up to the register to pay. Customer service was almost nonexistent and we had to ask for a coffee refill. The larger parties around us received more attention so that was a little disappointing. It was still nice to finally cross off this bookmark on my list. read more

Well give it 3 stars today. They had outdoor/indoor seating, the seating was comfortable. you could hear the waves crashing at the beach across the street as you enjoy your breakfast brunch lunch. It was pretty crowded. Definitely a popular restaurant. The service was poor aside from one waitress who was kind enough to check on our to go plate. I didn't get her name. We waited so long for our food that my water was warm by the time my meal came. And out of our 5 cups of water on the table I drank mine and my sons, and was never offered a refill, I watched numerous people who came in after our party get served their meals first. Nonetheless the food was full of flavor. The lack of service was my biggest gripe and The kitchen could be a little quicker. I have gone to the location in keaau, Hawaii island and the service there was exceptional. I was not expecting what I got today at this location. read more

We went on a Friday morning and got there around 7:20am. It seemed like we were the first customers to be seated. We noticed a couple people doing pick up orders. The two girls who helped serve us were very nice and checked in with us a few times. My husband and I ordered the country fried steak and the macadamian nut banana pancakes. The food tasted good but wasn't a wow factor. My favorite part was probably the lilikoi biscuits and the banana macadamian nut pankcakes were good too. Parking is available in front with a handful of spaces. I could see it being difficult to find parking if it's a busy morning for them. read more

Countryside Cafe - Nutella Toast Walk Through The Country Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waianae, Hawaii

Today was an interesting experience. We came here a couple years ago and it was great. Today wasn't as great. The food wasn't bad. I didn't quite liked what I got but that wasn't because the food was bad. My husband and sister did not have a problem with their meals. Their service is what got me the most. It was very slow to non existent. I had to go in and get from the hostess what I needed which was said but not the worst things that could have happened. The ambiance of course is amazing because you have the view of the beach from there!! We are going to try it again to see if we like something else on the menu more than what we ordered. We went for breakfast. read more

Ahmazing! Came here after spending some time in Makaha with some friends. We were starving and my friend who's a local recommended this place. Be aware that this place closes pretty early at 2pm and can get pretty busy. When we came in they were about a 1/2 hour from closing but more than happy to be of help to answer and questions and recommend items. I had their Kalbi with noodles and salad. Highly recommended. Also got to try their pancakes which was also really good and decent in size. Another item I recommend is the meat lovers scramble. I was super surprised that everything we tried was really good and I would definitely drive all the way out to eat here again. read more
