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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

We had to eat at the most popular breakfast spot on Kauai this restaurant was packed with locals and tourists from everywhere. The ambience is Rooster Country with a Kauai outdoor cabin feel. The menu and variety of food was great. The service was and hospitality was very pleasant. read more

if i had to direct anyone to only one place for breakfast on kaua'i, id send them here, no doubt in my mind. the food is just phenomenal and so fresh. i got a side of papaya that was heavenly. i got the kalua pork loco moco with homemade corn bread. it changed the game, it was soooo good. join the waitlist before you arrive if you can, chances are you'll still have a small wait when you get to the restaurant. but trust me, it is worth it. i miss the food here already. read more

Since you're here on Yelp and you're interested in dining here... GET ON THE WAITLIST ahead of time which can be accessed via the Yelp app We made that mistake and just showed up at 11:15am. I had to enter my name on the list and saw I was 18th in line and it would take about an hour and 15 minutes to be seated. It really did take an hour before I got a text saying our table would be ready soon. The staff was welcoming, full of smiles, and happy to answer questions. Of course our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but here's what we ordered: Macnut Latte w/ Oat Milk Americano Spam & Cheddar Omelette Keiki Pancakes with a side of Nutella Porker Ube French Toast Everything was tasty, rich and heavy... we did not finish everything. One of those food coma type of places and the dishes are worth sharing, if that's your thing. All of this was just under $100 after tip. It was our first meal on the island so we wanted to try it, despite the wait but if I would've done it differently, I probably would've went to a lunch plate spot next to the airport. read more

We joined the waitlist with several people ahead of us but the wait wasn't too long; you can also join the list at the restaurant info page. The lady came quickly to get our order: I had to have the Loco Moco because it's a fave of mine and tastes so much better when someone else prepares it :) Freshly squeezed lemonade is deliciously tart, depending on what's available on the day; there are other fruit juices available but I like lemons.... The ambience is all Hawaiian with many paintings of the ocean and the notorious Kauai chickens rattan chairs and 'marble' tables where we were seated. The main dining area also has tables in the booth fashion, where you sit on wood seats. It's very very busy today, being a holiday, but I think it's always full because of the line outside waiting. The lady taking our order was super nice, helpful and friendly! TIL to learned to say "a hui hou kakou" : until we meet again :) Everyone there was enjoying their food, and I'm sure we'll be back again. Mahalo 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

Always a delicious meal with amazing waitstaff who are friendly and hardworking. Carrie and Este are da best ! I love my usual breakfast, bacon avocado eggs Benedict. I usually don't stray far from that unless they have the crab Benedict ! :) Husband is adventurous. He gets something new every week. Often the "special". Yesterday's Pigs in a Blanket were to die for. He also loved the Fiesta Omelette and the Benedict made with cornbread and fresh spinach and homemade sausage patty. He does say they make a mighty good burger too if you're not in a breakfast mood. Thanks for always treating us with warm Aloha Kountry Kitchen! 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

Definitely go on a weekday if you want to avoid the lines! Very comfortable restaurant, friendly staff, and a few healthy options on the menu since I'm trying to manage my weight and eat healthier. The veggie omelette was delicious and kept me full for hours. They even have a cute little gift shop for souvenirs. 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

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

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

We were seated in the aluminum container in the back which had no windows and the lights were really bright and there was no music in there like the rest of the restaurant. It was a half booth half chair situation where you sit very far across from the person you're with and you feel like you can't have a private conversation and the booth was much higher than the chair and had no cushion. My back was to the open doorway where everyone was coming and going and I felt like I was in the way. Our food took a very long time to come out and people who had arrived way after us were already eating. We considered paying for our drinks and leaving because we felt neglected. We ordered the loco moco dish which had no flavor and we kept adding salt and soy sauce which wasn't helping at all. The meat tasted like someone had boiled it and not seasoned it. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant unless you hate flavor and love long waits and an uncomfortable atmosphere. 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
