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

Greatest breakfast/brunch in Kauai! The food & service are tremendous. The wait staff are friendly, courteous and professional.

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. read more

Kountry Kitchen - Kauai Benedict + Extra crispy hashbrowns - American Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

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. read more

Came here twice and unfortunately won't be back. The food is decent, but the service and overall experience felt very unwelcoming. On my first visit, I was told (rudely) I couldn't have an outside drink. Today, I brought my team for breakfast and a short meeting. After we were served, a team member asked for a small container for leftover syrup. The staff brought one, but then our waitress came back, took our bill, and added a charge for the syrup. That felt unnecessary and petty. To top it off, after about an hour and 20 minutes total (with a reservation), we were asked to leave because they had another party waiting. I understand running a business, but this felt overly profit-driven and lacking the basic sense of aloha you expect here. Disappointing experience overall. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Kountry Kitchen - Bacon Avocado Benedict and Banana Macadamia Nut Pancake - American Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Paid by card (3% fee for card, but 2% discount if you pay cash). Kountry Kitchen is located on the street and offers limited parking in front of the restaurant and some street parking. I went on a Thursday morning for breakfast and was easily able to add myself to the Yelp waitlist ahead of time ( waited about 20 minutes.) The staff was very friendly and there is a cute store inside to look at while you wait. I ordered the Polynesian omelet with hash browns and Chai Latte. Both were really good so 4 stars for the taste of the food, good service, and really clean bathrooms. Minus 1 star since it took about 45 minutes to get the food. Worth the wait though... Overall a great, sit-down place for breakfast and I would recommend it. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I am genuinely surprised by the average high rating that this restaurant has. While the staff was friendly and the food came out quickly, I would not say it was worth the wait. It is seemingly one of the only breakfast-y restaurants in Kapaa, and it offers a pretty basic greasy spoon menu with an island twist! I ordered the Avocado, Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich and I convinced my husband to order the Traditional Loco Moco from the Kountry Favorites section of the menu. I also ordered a side of rice just for something a little extra to eat with my sandwich. The biggest takeaway I can say for what we had is that flavor and seasoning was missing entirely across the board. You can see it in the photo of my breakfast sandwich, but there was no seasoning to be found - not even pepper. It was quite bland and really could have been elevated by the addition of a simple sauce. I was also disappointed for my husband because I hyped up how popular of a dish the Loco Moco is and he ended up experiencing the same lack of flavor. I am very understanding that food on the island will usually be more expensive, but I do find the prices hard to justify for how simple and underwhelming the meal was. Aside from the meal, I do have some comments regarding the dining area. The tables felt packed pretty closely to one another - we had five of us dining in our group and they threw a chair at the end of a four top table for us. The space in the walkway really did not allow comfortably for that. Additionally, there was one working bathroom in the entire restaurant as the men's restroom was closed. This clogged up the space in the dining area as well as there were many people waiting for the entirety of the time we spent here. I'm hoping that this experience really was a one-off atypical dining experience that one might have at Kountry Kitchen. From looking at some of the other reviews on here, I'm thinking that maybe the downfall of the meal can be summed up to bad ordering as some other menu items look much better than what we received. I will look forward to the opportunity to try something else here one day! read more

A cute and cozy spot serving American breakfast with more of a Hawaiian emphasis. They have a wide variety of menu options as well as specials that aren't listed. I generally always get benedicts with brunch, so I ordered the Kauai Benedict. The pork was juicy and tender and the eggs were perfectly cooked! I only wish they had different options for the fruit side but since they only offered papaya, I went with the hash browns instead. Pretty big serving size and I was stuffed by the end. Their freshly squeezed juices are super refreshing. They even had cantaloupe and honeydew juices available when we went! The staff were all super friendly and did a great job with our huge group. Overall, a great spot to stop by if you've eaten way too much fish and need to get some carbs in! read more

OMG, I've never seen a pancake so big!!! We decided to try Kountry Kitchen based on the reviews of the banana macadamia pancake and it was AMAZING!!!! Especially with the coconut syrup!

Our family went here for breakfast while on vacation. It had good reviews and the food looked pretty decent. We arrived and the parking was pretty limited. They had an IPad that we were able to use to add ourselves to the waitlist. The wait was less than 5 minutes which was great. The restaurant was very noisy however. My daughter ordered the pancake with the coconut syrup and that was probably the best thing we got. My husband tried the loco moco and it was bland and the meat was dry..pretty disappointing. I ordered the Kauai Benedict and the pork was delicious and the portion was huge. Service was pretty decent which was nice. Over all it was OK. 3.5* over all. read more

It was decent. Doubt I'd go back. Service was great and attentive. The omelet was cheesy, but very watery, which is assume was from the kimchi. Hash browns were crispy. The real offense was the loco moco. We had to ask for green onions, which may be preference thing but most, if not all, loco mocos we've had include green onions. And those onions were necessary because neither the beef patty nor the gravy had any flavor. We had to put so much salt and pepper on it... so disappointing. Atmosphere was rustic with a lot of merch. A lot of rooster merch. read more

Honestly, we were looking forward to trying this place after reading all the positive reviews on yelp. Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing, namely the service. We were trying to look for parking, which ended in us showing up 2 min after our name was called. The hostess was visibly annoyed when we showed up, which is valid for us being a little late, no problem there. Luckily, she put us back on the list and told us to look out for a text. We waited outside, waited for a text, no text came, and the hostess came back out and rudely said "I texted you did you check your phone!?". THAT was uncalled for (I never received a text btw). After we got seated and placed our orders, it took about 40 minutes for the food to come out. No one came by to check on us in the meantime. The portions of food were pretty large. Loco moco was probably the blandest I've ever had. Mac nut pancake with the coconut cream and the lattes that we had were pretty good, which is the only reason for 2 stars. Pass on this place. read more

Wait was short and we were greeted with a warm welcome. Perused the gift shop - full of local artists work at reasonable prices. Coffee good and hot! Lots of families here - clear that the locals appreciate it. Prices moderate- wide range of choices for all diet interests and appetites. Waiter approached to get drinks within a few minutes of seating, and took our order as we were ready to go. Cool atmosphere- check out the art on the walls! My partner ordered the traditional eggs Benedict with Hashbrowns and I went for the luau omelette sans the dairy with fruit. Food was fresh and well prepared.

Cute place with good food and super friendly service. Taste could have been a little better for our dishes, but it was all above average. A solid four stars. Our first breakfast on the island, and we gave this a try. No wait at 8:30 am. Nice clean place (a little dark for a breakfast place!) with fun decor. Our server was outstanding. Friendly and on the ball. Coffee was great as advertised. Pretty strong. We had a Porker Sandwich, an Avocado Egg and Cheese Sandwich, and a Kountry pancake. All solid. I wish there had been a bit more flavor to the Porker. The pancake was also a little overdone, so it was a bit chewy. Nothing the coconut syrup (delicious) couldn't take care of. Solid breakfast. read more
