All I can say is wow to the Chili Pepper Chicken! After talking to our hotel clerk and took several recommendations from him, this was the place I was looking forward to the most. The restaurant is in the gas station on the corner. There is no seating so plan on eating in your car or taking it to a park or the beach. The service was just ok. Nothing special. But that chicken tho!!! Holy chick! Breaded and perfectly fried tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. This was served with a Hawaiian style Mac salad and a generous portion of steamed Calrose rice yummmmm! I bought a bottle of locally made chili pepper water (Hawaiian style hot sauce) to douse my lunch. Glad I took this recommendation and I will definitely be back and ordering the same thing every time I visit Kauai! read more

Ate one Buddha bbq burger and one vege burger. Tasty. Bruddah burger is a big sloppy mess. The beef tastes high quality. The veggie is black bean based. The store is a gas station mini-mart Hawaiian style. Learned yesterday (September 2024) that the owners have lost the lease. Property acquired by the Foodland supermarket. Unknown changes coming. read more

Don't let the "gas station" deter you from this place. From the outside you'll ask yourself if this is really a restaurant. Once you go inside they have a nice selection of burgers and local food. We had the sriracha chicken sandwich with a side of fries and loco moco. The chicken sandwich was huge made with real chicken and very flavorful. The Loco Moco was the star. 2 huge hamburger Pattie's covered with two perfect eggs with rice, signature Mac salad and brown gravy. Don't miss out on this special place the next time your on the North Shore! read more

Was surprised at the lack of Hawaiian plate lunches in the area (I LOVE plate lunches when I visit the islands). Through some digging, I found some decent reviews for this place. Super happy we gave it a shot! Enjoyed the katsu and loco moco. Decadent and great. The Mac salad kind of gave potato salad vibes. Wasn't bad, but didn't quite scratch that itch for me. Prices were great. Kind of an odd setup, cramped in the little general store, but worth the wait. Would for sure go back again. read more

I keep hearing about their chili pepper chicken and that has been on my list to try. Though their hamburger steak caught my eye so that's what I got. Who can say no to sauteed onions and mushrooms smothered in gravy? It comes with a yummy mac/potato salad too. Will have to get that chili pepper chicken next time. read more

If you're in the Princeville area and you want to eat like a local, you have to check this place out! Large servings of onolicious food, Hawaiian style, at very reasonable, if not cheap, prices! The bill for these 3 items were about what a hamburger was at a place we looked at before. No tables inside but there are tables and a counter outside. One of my favorite things to do in Hawaii is to interact with the locals, which doesn't happen often in resort areas. The cashier here fit the bill with her playful banter and adding to my name (Don Ho!) A fun experience with good food! read more

Winnah winnah chicken dinnah. This plate by far has one of the best chili peppa chicken I ever had and for a general store at a gas station this place blew what I thought right out the window. I 100% would come back again just for that plate. It was very filling and not to mention the service from the wahines inside was so welcoming and willing to help. They knew what they were known for and made it aware to me so I jumped the gun and boy was that a great decision. Mahalo nui to the staff and cooks. Big was ono. read more

If Mac salad made with spaghetti noodles is appealing then you better get yourself to the north side to dine on some plate lunch. Located in a gas station, the general store is serving up some of HI's best comfort food. Ordered a few items from the menu including the hamburger steak, salad, chicken fingers, and at the recommendation of staff a serving of garlic bread. If you came to Princeville with the hopes of losing weight than this might not be the place for you. Chicken fingers were Panko coated and fried, mushroom gravy thick and flavorful, garlic bread was garlicky and delicious, and hamburger steak was just as it sounds coated in gravy accompanied by spaghetti salad and rice. Appears to be more of a locals place so come early or be prepared to wait. read more

Chill Pepper Chicken is Unbelievably Good!

North Shore General Store is a run down gas station. I never would have stop here but a person on a tour I was on said it was good. We stopped here yesterday and shared a chicken katsu. They do have specials. Yesterday was Friday, I assume that's why the specials were fish. I heard they had prime rib earlier in the week. I can't wait to see what they have today. The chicken katsu was great. Very fresh, hot and not over cooked. It comes with 2 scoops of rice and potato mac salad. read more

THAT CHILI PEPPER CHICKEN THOUGH!!! You have to come here just for that chili pepper chicken. While it was my first time trying this dish, my boyfriend and his family were/are all locals and they all raved this was the best they've had. His grandma complimented it twice during the meal and couldn't get over how it stays so crispy! After my weeklong trip, this is the dish I crave the most (would've been poke but I managed to fit poke in 4 times haha), but on my next trip back, I'll have to come back again. We also got the chicken katsu, which was not great - the breading was more similar to chicken nugget breading instead of traditional katsu breading, so we'd pass on that next time. DOUBLE CHILI PEPPER CHICKEN NEXT TIME! Thank you to my boyfriend's uncle for recommending that dish here! As for the location - it's in a shopping plaza right by/part of? a gas station. You might be a little confused but JUST GO RIGHT IN FOR THE BEST CHICKEN EVER!!! Also one thing worth mentioning - you might think one plate lunch is good enough for two people, BUT, I can guarantee you will fight over the chicken, so do yourselves a favor and just order two :) read more

One thing about princeville is that there aren't enough restaurants! There are way too many tourists for the hand full of food options that are available. We decided to order the loco moco from the general store because of the food reviews, and we are really happy with it. The outdoor seating was shaded and it was great to people watch overlooking the plaza. There was plenty of parking. read more

This place was amazing and great pizza!! Also the best pricing and friendly staff! Would recommend

The food here is really good. We had the ono fish and chips and it was honestly one of the best fish and chips I've ever had anywhere. The pieces of fish were pretty big. The batter was not too thick, it had a nice light crunch. The fries were really good as well. They honestly have some excellent pizzas as well. We had a few pizzas and they were all really good. The stand out for us was the pesto pizza. The only thing was they got our order wrong and it ended up taking almost half an hour to get all of our food. The lady up front was really helpful to resolve the problem. I'd still come back though. The food was that good! read more

A local favorite grill that doesn't really cater to tourists but the menu is extensive and the prices are the cheapest in Princeville.

One of our regular spots and my family has eaten more food from here than any other restaurant on Kauai. This General Store along the Kuhio Highway is the most affordable and convenient option we've found in the Princeville area. With a nice selection of burgers, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast items, it offers something to satisfy our wide variety of eaters. They also sell beer, wine, snacks, and surprisingly cute souvenirs, so we usually end up grabbing more than just a meal. There is limited seating outside facing the gas station and Princeville shopping center, so we've always taken our food to go. Not the healthiest food on the island, but with so few options in the immediate area, it is great to have a place where you can get a meal for under $10. We've also gotten food for our teenagers here and then gone on date night at a nearby restaurant. Enjoy the "Real Brick Oven" pizza, especially the Prosciutto Fig and Paniolo Chicken (yes, it has pineapple). We typically order in advance and then pick up our food. I'm always surprised at the early closing time, which is around 7:30p, so not the place to satisfy late night cravings. read more

Wow who would expect that awesome food would be found inside a gas station? Well apparently that's pretty common place here in Hawaii, gas stations and food trucks rule here! We popped in here for breakfast it was right after they opened so they only had their breakfast burritos available but we ordered the deluxe burrito which was killer it came with some really fresh spicy salsa And we bought an orange passion fruit drink to go along with it. There are tables outside to sit and people watch the general comings and going's of the north shore market area right by Princeville. I'd be excited to come back here and try more of their items at some point in the future but overall a great place to grab a quick breakfast 999 for the burrito was a killer deal. read more

Onolicious!!! Onolicious!!! Onolicious!!! The Chicken Fried Hamburger Steak was cooked to perfection!!! The gravy and the onions and the mushrooms provided a blanket of warm comfort for the very tasty and juicy hamburger steak. Definitely the BEST hamburger steak I've ever had in my life!!! No doubt I'll be dreaming of this for many days!!! (And the service is also outstanding and friendly and helpful!!!) read more

Best loco Moco I've ever had. Even after some good ones this is still the best. Best part is flavor, they season the meat and have a flavorful gravy. The mac salad made with spaghetti noodles is a unique twist, but still great. Awesome pizza- best on the North Shore. The Katsu Chicken is the bomb. Pretty much equal to Da Kitchen on Maui as my favorites. Eaten other things here too, all amazing. Favorite plate lunch place on the North Shore, and tied with Mark's place in Lihue as my favorite on the island. So good! read more

Came here after looking at several reviews. We ordered the chili chicken and the chicken cutlet moco plates. Let me tell you, these dishes are HEAVY! As in you get a decent amount of food for a decent price. The flavors were great, and we left feeling stuffed. Time to pass out on a beach! Of note, there are seats around the left and right side of the gas station to eat. read more

Okay!! This sounds soooooo weird to say, but THIS GAS STATION IS LIFE! We stopped by twice :P It's located in the shopping plaza and you can't miss it, just make sure you go inside!! Xena (Sorry I butchered your name) took our order and was the biggest sweetheart! She did everything in her power to make me happy! I JUST ABSOLUTELY ADORE HER!!! We tried: Chili Pepper Chicken- IDK why this is so popular. IMO it was too sweet and had lots of fried chicken skins. So if you like that, be my guest. Bradah BBQ Burger- The boy's fav!!!! It had BBQ sauce and fried onion rings. He said it was the best burger on the island!! Kimchi Burger- My fav!! We took this out on the beach and prob should have planned ahead. It was sooo juicy and got all over me lol Make sure you stop here!!! MAHALO LOVES!! read more

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior of North Shore General Store; it's a must-visit for Hawaiian food enthusiasts! While it may look like a tiny gas station, the food here is simply amazing. When you're in Kauai, forget about the usual burgers and pizzas--indulge in authentic Hawaiian dishes, and you'll fall in love. During my seven-day trip, I couldn't resist returning here four times. Grab a drink and chips from the fridge, and don't miss the pepper chicken--it's a flavor explosion. Their macaroni salad is better than most on the island. The friendly staff adds to the experience. Don't let appearances deceive you; North Shore General Store is a true hidden culinary gem in Hawaii! read more

Ok, one of these days my luck is gonna run out with buying food at gas stations. At first, it was a deep fried twinkie in a 76. Next it was Krispy Krunchy chicken at several gas stations throughout the Bay Area. Today, it's the chili pepper chicken at this janky gas station. Lots of locals picking up dinner, tourists looking for cheap eats, this place did not disappoint. Don't be dissuaded by the cardboard looking dry pizza sitting in the glass case for what seemed like since the Reagan years. Ignore that and order you some of that chicken. Well stocked fridge with liquor and various sundries, it's a place worth checking out if you're willing to wait in a line---food came out hot and freshly made. read more

BEST PIZZA EVER!! Came here to try something on the menu after reading the reviews and was blown away by instant hospitality from the workers. I ordered a small cheese pizza with beef and the taste is so flavorful. The food is made fresh to order so I waited twenty minutes. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!! Very pleased with my pizza and will definitely be back when I'm in the area highly recommend giving this place a try. There is seating outside the store on the right hand side. read more

Highly touted as the "Best Fish & Chips on the Island," Maybe, but not today. Ordered with the kid. He stated "15 minutes..." 45 minutes later and watching, observed our order sitting, bagged and "chilling on the back counter" after other orders moved out. Yes, they were very busy. But to "loose" track is unacceptable. Deep fried fish & fries got soggy and cold. 5 minute drive to home, had to microwave some to re-heat. Fries don't re-heat well. Fish portion seemed light for the advertised 8 oz. (I was warned by a "local" to eat these ASAP. He was right.) Pizza looked REALLY GREAT! (Should have had it instead). Lesson learned but willing to go back due to extensive meal options...Just eat the fish & fries FAST! read more

The girl at the counter is beyond rude. Asked her if the burger came with any sides and she said, No, but you grab a bag of chips and pay for it. Then immediately yelled, Next! To call the next person in line. Mind you the bag of chips is 5 feet away. When she rang me up she asked if I'd be paying cash or card I said card. She gave my total and then I placed the cash on the counter. This is when it got bazaar. She began to open and close her hand. Did it 5-6 times until I caught her drift. I picked up the cash and placed it in her hand as she, I guess, wanted me to. I will NEVER patronize this place again and I've been coming here way longer than she's been alive. What a disgrace to Kauai and the Princeville community. She's about 5' 3" and boy does she need to change careers. Maybe put her in the back. She should never work with customers face to face. read more

I didn't realize we were going to a kitchen in a gas station convenience store. I felt bad for all the gas station patrons. Line was out the door do we figured it would be great. It was OK. My teriyaki hamburger was tasty and cooked right, the fries could have stood to cook a bit longer, the onion rings were practically all oil, the pizzas were properly done and very good. They have 3 outdoor tables and lots of chickens to occupy you as you wait. Obviously we got there at a vety busy time, it was closer to 30 minutes than 15. Most people were taking to go. In fact in our 45-60 minutes we were the only ones actually eating there. read more
