    Now this is a Hawaiian McDonald's with spam, Portuguese sausage and rice. Service was under five minutes with a smile! I wish all McDonald's would have this kind of food and staff!

    Food was as expected with a few island treats. Love their pies are still fried! Service was drive thru only at 7am and it does not state that anywhere. We were planning to sit inside but wound up eating in our car so I can't rate ambiance.

    McDonald's is bad for you but unfortunately it makes up lots of my happy childhood memories. I remember Sunday mornings, right after church service, heading to Lihue McD's. Oh the memories! Spending the afternoon jumping and playing in the McPlayground. All us kids would slide down the slide then grabbing a bite of our cheeseburger or McNuggets before running to the McBall pit. Wipe off the soft serve on our pants, wipe our mouth with our sleeves. Stinky socks jammed back into shoes in McCubbies. Wiping off our play sweat with McNapkins. On the ride home in the church van we'd play with our McToys and make houses with our Happy McMeal boxes, good ole McMemories. And so the other weekend, my mom requested a McOrder of everything not really McHealthy. She hardly eats fast food. Don't tell me these memories are false memories made up of dreams and stories other kids told me during recess! This can't be happening! Then I remembered, McDonald's day was always my Dad who took us out! How I still love McDonald's!

    I am in awe of Karen, our cashier. She was zipping around like an Energizer bunny, filling orders for curbside and drive through while taking orders at the counter. She was pleasant and efficient. I saw someone at drive through, and another in the back and this trio was working at lightning speed between 8-8:30 this morning (3/9/23). Even though the Spam breakfast tempted us, we ordered our Egg McMuffins and they were hot and good.

    Service was slow and this is a drive through only. The person. Taking the order acted like he didn't wanna be there. If that isn't a job for you then find something else. Customer service is not your forte. They don't even have any taro or haupia pies available EVER!! the fried apple pie was crunchy but barely any filling. The guava and cream pie was alright. Needs more guava flavor and it was not warm at all.

    Got two large fries.. asked of they could fill them to the top they said that is there standard.... Literally the only mcdondals I have ever seen do this and this is with no fries eaten and they do this EVERYTIME!

    I just ordered a mcgriddle and mc muffin and i got the mc muffin but son got a biscut through the drive through and thats not so fun because i ordered less than 10 minutes ago my son is unhappy and this is why you should order inside people

    Taro bits oozing outta this freshly baked taro pie...yum!

    Fairly not busy location. Waited 10min for that freshly baked taro pie and boy was it worth the wait! It had a crispy shell and the inside is just e right amount of taro sweetness. Yummmmm..They don't have the saimin as I had seen in another McDonald location and everything else on the menu is pretty much the standard ones. They also offer mobile order and pickup. Staff here are nice and place is big enough for family sit downs.

    Fried apple pie

    Am I giving McDonalds fried apple pie at 5 star? You bet your bottom I am!! Delicious! Hot and fresh with a nice crunch. Brings me back to my childhood. I had two while on vacation in Kauai. It's always a go to when on the island. Why oh why can't McDonald's bring this back on the mainland. If somebody is seeking out an apple pie, it's not to be healthy. Might as well get rid of the baked crap and put it in a fryer.

    Wow lobster roll at McD's in Kauai.

    It's clean the food is standard for the chain staff very friendly and it's way more than 2.5 compared to lots of overpriced places in island

    Very slow, locked bathroom so you need to wait in line to get key which is long, liked old Mcdonalds better.

    After going ourselves, we can see why Java Kai is such a staple. Located right in the heart of…read moreKapa'a, this is the island-cafe aesthetic you're looking for. Bright colors, outdoor seating, and tropical inspiration added to the menu. Their coffee was SO GOOD. And the dishes we tried were delicious as well. The ambiance really makes this place great and this staff is well trained and great at their jobs. There was a line when we got there and a line when we left, so I would assume that's pretty typical. Expect a rush but enjoy the wait because it's worth it.

    First day in Kauai, and I'd been looking forward to a decent pour-over. I passed on Positive to…read morecome here. Mistake number one. No xbloom pour-overs being served, so I settled for pre-made drip. The barista was friendly enough but couldn't tell me anything about the coffees on her own menu -- origin, roast, process, nothing. She recommended a mac nut latte for my partner, which felt less like a recommendation and more like the only thing she was sure of. The drip came out fast and hot. That's the last nice thing I have to say. The latte comes from a second window, where a different employee was actively hostile. Busy morning, so I asked if the drink was mine. She snapped that my name was written on the cup. It was -- facing her. I was apparently supposed to read it through the cup. Here's the real problem: someone clearly put thought into the roasting side of this business, and then handed the entire customer-facing operation to people who received no training whatsoever. Not in the coffee, not in basic hospitality. You can teach someone to smile. You can teach them to answer a question without contempt. Nobody bothered. Average coffee, worse service, priced for people who won't be back anyway -- and given the volume of visitors, that model probably works fine for them. It won't work for me. Kauai has cafés run by people who are genuinely obsessed with what they're doing. Go find one of those. Serious coffee drinkers should walk right past this place.
