    This restaurant was good - great menu, nice sized portions, great staff, easy seating and parking, relaxed vibes. I needed something on the healthier side after all the Hawaiian fare we'd been indulging in, and this hit the spot. I wish we would have found this place earlier in our stay.

    Onion rings
    Teresa D.

    I know when we came here before the service wasn't the best. Thought we'd give it another try...Hubby ordered the ahi & katsu plate and I got the Gouda Burger. Food is always good, but...our server brought my burger with fries instead of the up charge of onion rings. She had me transfer my burger to a small plate so she could take the fries back. When the onion rings took longer than expected, she brought me a small plate of fries to compensate. Never checked to see how we were doing, didn't refill our drinks. She could've notified us that her shift was ending and checked to see if we needed anything...instead, she spent her time talking to people at the bar and texting. Food 4/5, service could be better. The server who took over was nice and attentive.

    Banana mac pancakes
    Charlene B.

    Food was very good but the service was extremely lacking. We were seated immediately, it was moderately busy at 1130 and there were PLENTY of workers. It took at least 5-10 to get a drink order and another 10 to get our drinks. We had 3 children under 3 so being quick with ordering is pretty important. Our orders were taken 20 min after being seated. The food came out relatively fast except for oatmeal.... That came out when most of the party had finished. There was no apology for slow service--so I figure it was probably normal. There was another party that was waiting to pay as they had an excursion to make, so we were not the only ones. Everyone was friendly enough just not efficient at all. If you have tons of time, the breakfast Banana Mac Nut Pancakes, Kimchi friend rice, scramble, and breakfast burrito were solid.

    It was OK. We had a number of things: An omelette, scramble, pancakes, and combination breakfast. The food was pretty solid. Service was fine. Coffee left some things to be desired. Great open-air seating, though with that came a cleanliness issue. The whole place could have used a power wash. The tables were sticky. It's hard to find a good breakfast in Kauai; this was decent.

    We came here for drinks and dinner. We had a Mai Tai, dinner and dessert. Great view from above and service was quick and friendly. We forgot to take photos of our meal but everything was delicious. We recommend coming here.

    Fish taco plate
    Stephanie M.

    One of my family's favorite stops! Cute cafe with a causal feel. The service was great. I had the fish taco plate and it was so good and fresh! And the grilled plantain on top was delicious! My family was there for a week and we came back three times on our visit.

    Fried calamari
    Katelin D.

    The menu was overwhelmingly large! My husband and I stopped here after a long and muddy hike on Sleeping Giant close by. Ambiance was a standard American bar feel but with a vamped up menu. Fair pricing. We ordered fried calamari, a wrap and a salad topped with tuna salad. Portions were large for the main dish. My wrap (pictures) reminded me of a sushi burrito essentially. Service was quick. We arrived at 2:30 after checking hours that they closed at 4:00. I noticed they started turning patrons away at 3:00 and turning chairs upside down on tables as if to signify they were closing soon. Not sure if this is the norm or not. It was a slow day for business and incredibly rainy. We were back through there a few days later, nicer weather and they looked packed. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch spot with lots of options for everyone!

    Tuna Salad Wrap
    煒恩

    Food: Tuna Salad Wrap (Specials) with with melon - Onion can be too strong for some Chicken Avocado Club with fries - A bit on the dry side - Not much condiments Overall the food is fresh, and the portion is pretty big, that is enough for those who aren't as hungry or don't eat much to share. Coffee and guava juice is good. Brittnay the server was great, and the food came out pretty prompt. Great place for casual bite and dining, overlooking the main road. The booth seating cushion can use some update as it's pretty torn.

    I ate breakfast here 3x. Each time the veggie omelette was loaded with a mix of fresh perfectly cooked green veggies like broccoli, onions garlic and was perfect to share. Country potatoes were well seasoned and the side of papaya was a great plenty. If you are a larger eater enjoy it for yourself. 2 mornings they were playing a nice mix of 70s tunes and the window seats had a lovely breeze. All of the servers we met were kind, upbeat and in general seemed to like their job which says a lot. Looking for a more healthy breakfast that's a good value come here.

    We had a great visit, our server Brittney working in a walking boot was amazing our party of 16 was treated very!!!! As we celebrated my Moms 81st birthday today this was a perfect start to day!!! To food was delicious

    The food is delicious here. Had the Loco Moco and the gravy made here is awesome. The staff was very friendly here and had a very aloha vibe. It is located on the 2nd story; with great views of Kapaa. My wish would be the eggs to be cooked better. Ordered over easy eggs and were cooked all the way through. I was really hungry and so I didn't say anything but the over all food is good. Just hoped my eggs were the way I wanted.

    A large menu to choose from and they boast they have the best breakfast on Kauai and I don't think I agree. I do say it was a nice breakfast but it has a lot of things like "absolutely" no changes or add ons. Not overly friendly. But the people were efficient. The place reeked of the. Leaning solution they used which made me nauseous. I wasn't able to finish my meal. I had an egg scramble and hubby had a Denver omelette. Both were served with chunky style potatoes and all was under seasoned. Coffee was strong and it's a fun Hawaiian themed place. Try it;)

    What fish is used in the fish tacos?

    I believe they use fresh fish, so it changes from day to day.

There are no blinking lights or frills, just a blue menu taped to the truck and an open window. There was no line when I arrived. The gentleman who helped me was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips, an extra tartar sauce, a can of passion orange juice and a side of the homemade habanero sauce. By the time I was done ordering and paying, an impressive line of tourists had formed behind me. I made use of the hand sanitizer and went to sit and wait. There are picnic benches across from the truck with ample seating. The area is kept clean. The sun was shining bright and a the breeze from the ocean was extremely relaxing. My food took about 10 minutes, he walked the food out personally instead of screaming from the window which I appreciated. I took the food and drink back to my car so I could listen to my book while I ate my lunch. The plate contained 5 battered and fried pieces of fish (mahi?) Andy who they were seasoned, crispy and golden brown, served over a large portion of crisp French fries. 2 tartar sauces, a ketchup and the anticipated habanero hot sauce. The fish was moist and flaky on the inside and tasted fresh. Absolutely delicious. The hot sauce.... The homemade habanero sauce should be bottled and sold. It starts off mild to allow your food to shine on its own then creeps in with the perfect amount of heat. Paired with the tartar sauce or ketchup (I alternated every bite) changed the profile in a way that no hot sauce I've ever eaten has allowed. There was no cloying aftertaste, no overpowering vinegar scent, the heat was not intense, but it was there in the background complimenting everything it touched. I am in Kauai several times a month and will definitely keep Tony's Catch in the rotation.

Plenty of tables with umbrellas are available. The food truck is right next to the beach. There are other food trucks nearby, but this was the one that was the most popular. The service was great - friendly and fast!

    Lava Lava Beach Club - Kauai…read more New American, Seafood, Breakfast & Brunch Kapaa, HI What a charming, fun restaurant right on the beach with such great ambiance!! The service was outstanding from the hostess, bar tenders, chefs and our wonderful server, Kapua!! She was so friendly and always checked on us without being intrusive. We have been on the island for 6 nights. Each evening we have tried Mai Tai's. Lava Lava's are by far the best!!! They are not too sweet and a good pour! We got there early as the other reviews said it gets crowded and they do not take reservations. We arrived at 5 pm on a Wednesday and were seated right away closest to the beach. For our starter we had edamame which was a large portion and so good. My husband ordered the Chicken Pineapple Rice Bowl and substituted the chicken for the coconut shrimp. The rice was AMAZING as well as the shrimp, but our only complaint was the portion was very small and was served with only 3 shrimp. The picture looks like you get a lot, but it came in a carved out SMALL pineapple. The presentation was beautiful though. I had the Ceasar salad and added chicken. It was so good!!! The lettuce was so crisp! Nothing worse than a Ceasar salad with wilty romaine lettuce. I've had plenty of those in my day. This was one of the best I've ever had! Everything arrived in a timely manner. We had a great night. Side note...they offer free valet parking which is at the very top of the parking lot. I have nothing but high praises for Lava Lava's beach club!! You must check it out for yourself. You will be so happy you did!

The entrees were the highlight of the meal. I had the mahi mahi, my husband had the filet mignon, and we split the arugula salad--each of those dishes was excellent. Our friends shared the pasta and really enjoyed it as well. Unfortunately, the appetizers and dessert were disappointing. I wouldn't recommend the firecracker shrimp; it was soggy and there was no "fire" or kick at all. We also tried the oysters, which we were told were fresh from Washington State, but they didn't smell or taste fresh to us, and they were so large we couldn't eat them. Dessert was another miss--the chocolate torte was dry and tasted like cardboard. One other issue: the wind was whipping through the restaurant the entire time, making it uncomfortably cold. We ended up wearing our raincoats throughout dinner, which really took away from the experience. Overall, great service and strong entrees, but the temperature/wind problem and the uneven appetizer/dessert quality would make us think twice about returning.
