There was a table for 2 immediately available. Server was friendly and accommodating. Portions were hearty. They sell rooster art and some items. The Kaua'i Benedict was tasty with the kalua pork and sweet bread. The coconut latte was a bit sweet but still good. Great local coffee. There's a 2% cash discount and 3% credit card processing fee.
Kountry Kitchen is a must while on the island! Great food with generous portions and friendly service. It's been nearly 11 years since we've been here and it's still a place to rave about. I love the homey feel, the rooster theme and cozy seating. Like our last visit, I enjoyed the kountry pancakes- Mac nut and add the coconut syrup! Sooo good! Note- it is a generous portion. You can probably share this with 2 others. Overall, love it here and will absolutely be back!
We actually have a Kountry Kitchen back home on O'ahu just 5 minutes from us in Ewa Beach, but we really wanted to try this Kauaʻi location before catching our flight back! Fun fact: it's run by a brother-and-sister duo, and I can honestly say this Kauaʻi spot takes the win for me. The Food & Drink: Kauaʻi Benedict (Hubs' pick): Kalua pork with lomi tomato/onion on Hawaiian bread. The hollandaise sauce was insanely buttery, and the eggs were poached to perfection. SO good! Ube Mochi Pancakes (Special): I was originally set on the ube French toast, but our amazing server Carrie convinced me to get these instead. Oh my word, zero regrets! It's a 3-stack smothered in rich ube sauce, coconut flakes, and coconut cream. They bring coconut syrup on the side, but as a total coconut lover, I didn't even need it; the coconut cream on top provided plenty of flavor! Coffee: Super solid cup brewed with local Waimea beans. PRO TIP: Get on the Yelp waitlist early! It gets super packed with both locals and tourists. I checked in on Yelp while we were still packed up at our Airbnb in Princeville. I was 17th in line. By the time we got there, I was 3rd in line and only had to wait 5 minutes before the host took us in. Also make sure to double-check their hours online since they have limited daytime hours. The ultimate final brunch stop on Kauaʻi before heading home! Mahalo! Huge shoutout to Carrie for being so fun, warm, and attentive!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh, generous portions, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere.

As perfect of a Hawaiian breakfast spot as you can get with delicious dishes that aren't overly salted or sweetened, yummy coffee drinks, super friendly and fast service and a local diner vibe. Don't skip the Ube French Toast as it isn't super sweet and is great with the shaved coconut. 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

Must try their Ube French toast! I'm normally a savory breakfast kind of person and always get egg Benedict's, but I'd say I like tbejr Ube French toast more than anything I've tried here (and I came here event a big group so there were lots of sampling lol) Their coconut Mac nut French toast was OK, wasn't as good as the Ube. Tbejr kalua pork Benny was decent but it's nothing to write home about. Their service was amazing. Fast, attentive and very accommodating given that they're so busy and never short of customers. It's good to book a table if you have a large group. I'd totally come back for their Ube toast! read more

The food was amazing! I had a coconut Latte, papaya juice, coconut French toast, and eggs Benedict. All of it was so yummy and worth every bite the staff are attentive and some of the friendliest people. They asked about my allergies and made sure we changed my order to avoid shellfish I didn't know what present. I went around 7:30 AM and there was no wait. A laid back, delicious eatery with a cozy atmosphere. read more

I LOVE this place! We always go when visiting Kauai. Everything is delicious. This time we got pancakes and the Kauai Benedict (eggs benedict with Kahlua pork and lomi lomi salmon). The pancakes were HUGE and golden and buttery. The benedict was intense in flavors and quite dense, but shared we all got to enjoy the delicious pork and the acidity of the salmon. The combo was so so good. I also got a cappuccino and our waitress recommended coconut milk, which was game changing! Highly recommend. read more

A decent breakfast/ brunch spot with standard offerings. The ambiance is casual in a diner like setting. They have some native Hawaiian breakfast offerings as well as the usual eggs, pancakes, French toast. We got the Kountry sampler which was served with 2 eggs of your choice, 3 strips of bacon, a choice of French toast or pancakes served with coconut syrup, and fresh fruit. Food was what one would expect from a breakfast spot. Service was a "relaxed" island style, so avoid coming here if you're in a hurry. There's a 2% discount if you're paying cash. read more

Best breakfast in Hawaii. I got the pork chops and eggs with hash browns and fresh watermelon juice. Everything was delicious. Pork chops cooked to perfection and the best hash browns I have had in a long time. Our server, Carrie, was so friendly and helpful. Our food was out in a very timely manner. Wish we were staying longer so we could come back read more

First place we ate at. ** Get on the waitlist before you arrive. You can do it from their website. The amount of people that stood in front of The door (it says don't block doorway) and didn't read the sign (that says to check in on iPad) was astounding to me. Pay attention This place is insanely busy. Great food. Great service. Thanks again, can't wait to return. read more
Kountry Kitchen in Kapa'a, Kauai is definitely a must eat at place for brunch. We had the 1) Hawaiian Belgian Waffle 2) Ube French Toast 3) Loco Moco with Mushrooms and Onions 4) ChocChip Banana Pancakes 5) Lomilomi with Rice Can't complain about any of these, they were absolutely delicious! Service was fairly fast and the staff were friendly, even on a busy day. You can then walk a couple blocks down the street to explore Old Town Kapa'a for shopping and MORE EATING!!! read more
