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!
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.
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!
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.

Normally, I'm the oatmeal-with-fruit-with-sliced-almonds-no-sugar everyday type of person. But when I am on vacation - I am on VACATION! Despite the annoying alliteration in the name, Kountry Kitchen is one of my favorite Kauai spots - everything here is pretty remarkable, especially the corned beef hash. (Though the macadamia/coconut pancakes are a close second.) The staff here are really funny, as a joke our waitress plopped a taxidermined rooster on my husband's plate and dropped it off when the food came out! Prices are standard for Kauai, sometimes the wait is long, but it's well worth it. If you're in Kauai, you're on aloha time anyway, so just put your name on the list already! read more

We went here for breakfast & it was so delicious we came back the next morning for breakfast again! We had the garden Benedict, macadamia French toast, and ube French toast. All were delicious. Only downside: we ordered some "fresh" orange juice & it didn't taste fresh :( tasted like boxed orange juice.. and was double to price of their regular boxed orange juice. Restaurant does a great job of complying with covid measures, plexi glass dividers between tables that are next to each other. read more

Was of the best breakfasts in town! My wife and I ended up eating here a couple of times. The breakfast sampler with Ube French toast is my favorite! Portions are generous. You can't go wrong with the eggs Benedict either! They do get busy so I recommend calling ahead. read more

Probably the most solid brunch you'll find on the island. With the exception of the Sampler Special, we found the servings to be ginormous. I thought that the Kauai Benedict was particularly delicious. Also be sure to order an Americano here! My brother and I each had 2 because they were so good. I believe they get their coffee beans from Kauai Roastery. read more

I was psyched to try this place out because the reviews are so stellar but I was honestly puzzled after my visit. The food was pretty meh and the coffee wasn't great either. The interior was clean but kind of reminded me of a Cracker Barrel, with chicken themed decor everywhere. The waitstaff was very friendly, so that's a plus. But the food was just OK. I had the moco loco as well as the coconut French toast - they were both just alright in my book. I'd put it on par with a Coney Island or breakfast diner. The highlight for me was the cute cat sitting out front, which apparently belongs to a neighbor. People must love this place for some reason because it always seemed to be busy when I drove by afterwards but it doesn't get high marks from me. read more

I had a great experience here. Got there before 8am on the 4th of July and was seated right away. When I finished up and left, there was a line outside. The table seating was a little tight (felt like I was part of another group's table), but that's really the only negative. Service was solid and I didn't have to wait long for my food. I started with a cafe con leche cubano and it was so good that I didn't need to add anything to it. I'll probably have this again from the restaurant before I leave to go home. Had the Kauai Benedict for the meal. Large portion alert! I wasn't able to finish, but have to say the sweet bread, kahlua pork (nicely seasoned and a bit crispy) and other benedict ingredients made for a very tasty bite. Def a rich dish that left me wanting to take a nap, but it was worth it. I'd order this again...on the next trip...and probably share the goodness. read more

Honoluluans - mental note - they have a restaurant in Ewa Beach. (If I knew this, I would have not gone to the Kapa'a location) Pros: Food portions were huge. Employees very nice. Restrooms clean. The bill comes to you in an empty Spam can. So-so: A family of 5 that got seated after us and ordered after us got their order before me and hubby. Very tight on the butter they give on the pancake. Pineapple juice tasted old. read more

Overall really nice place to go for breakfast. It was easy to reserve your place in line on the app and check in once we got there. We beat the crowd so we are seated within about 5 minutes. The staff was really friendly. Great service. The food was good and came out quick and hot. Overall, I would say it's a great place to have breakfast. Parking can be a challenge, but I was able to find a parking spot across the street in the library parking but had to play chicken with the highway traffic. Lol read more

After reading the yelp reviews about the breakfast here we were sold. When we arrived we found that parking is difficult. We had to pass the restaurant and turn around. There was a local craft fair in the area, so that didn't help with finding a spot. The menu for this place is great, lots to offer. We loved the inside of the restaurant. There are roosters all over the place and the booths are comfy. Our server was super nice and friendly - she took our order on an iPad. We had a two egg breakfast with rice and spam. The spam was crispy and the rice was perfect texture. We also had the loco moco. As one prior post suggested, the patty was a true bummer. Overcooked and just not tasty. Maybe frozen beef? Opt for the hash maybe? We also ordered a choco chip pancake for the table with coconut syrup. It was amazing. HUGE and flavorful. Wise choice to share! Would we return during our stay, maybe. Might want to try a few other local spots before returning. read more
