Great 2nd floor breezy spot overlooking the town. Make your own Bloody Mary bar, HUGE salads and amazing pulled pork. Weird bathroom location but a fun vacation spot. read more

Worst meal of the island, we decided to give them one more shot as the remodeling was over, but the place looks the same and smell the same. The quality of the meal was deplorable, the burger was extremely dark with no seasoning and rotten smell. I strongly recommend not to try or give second chance to Olympic Cafe. read more

Olympic Cafe will not disappoint. It has an open concept layout with great service and amazing breakfast choices. Dinner is also wonderful. They feed you like it is your last meal. If you are in Kapaa, you should definitely stop by Olympic Cafe. read more

Great upstairs open air seating. Ocean breeze blowing though makes it very comfortable even on a warm day. We came for lunch and I had the avocado and brie grilled sandwich. Delicious. read more

This was the only place my husband and I ate at twice while we were on Kauai. We ate here our first night and shared an order of fish and chips with a side order of macaroni salad. Our waitress was super nice, we loved the big portion size and it all tasted great! Our second time we ordered the seafood platter and some drinks. Once again food was great and our waiter was super nice. The only complaint I have is drinks were very expensive and happy hour was only about $1 off. read more

Food is good. Service excellent. I accidentally left my purse behind and as we were leaving in our vehicle the bus boy came running down into the parking lot with my purse. Luckily he caught us before we drove away. I was very impressed with this young man. This is now my favorite place. read more

This place has a decent menu and great atmosphere. Typical bar food, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, but it is all good and made with fresh, mostly organic ingredients. From the side tables, you feel like you can see everything that is going on in Kapa'a, streetlife and sunsets. The salads are huge-- enough to feed four people and the specialty cocktails are tasty. Our service was great. The waitress was even kind enough to bring me some Band-Aids for my blistered feet. read more

I would recommend this place based upon it's value. You get large portions rarely seen on Kauai. My full plate sized pancakes were stacked three high. I could barely finish. read more

My wife, daughter, and I had an amazing time on Kauai. We stayed at the Hyatt in Poipu, which was way beyond our expecations. On our way back from Hanalei Bay one day we stopped at the Olympic Cafe in Kapaa for a quick snack. My seven year old daughter had a small shave ice with her. The hostess told us we could choose a table so we sat at a table with a nice view of the city. After a few minutes our waitress came over and without saying anything else she took our menus from us and told us we had to leave due to the fact that my daughter had brought in a shave ice. She was almost done with it and we would have been happy to have thrown it away. She had not made a mess at all. We were shocked. The waitress was very rude and we did not know what to say. We walked out of the restaurant feeling as though we had done something terribly wrong. We got the feeling that it was really our waitress, not the restaurant, but the feeling was beyond description. We walked across the street to Big Wave Dave's and were treated like royalty. We asked if our daughter could bring in her shave ice and the friendly host said "of course." For the rest of our vacation we went to different beaches around the island and then went to a restaurant for an afternoon snack and drink. Each time we got our daughter a shave ice and brought it into the restaurants; however, we made sure to ask if it was okay for her to bring it in. Every time the restaurant staff laughed and stated "of course it's okay." I strongly recommend every restaurant on Kauai except the Olympic Cafe. If staff from the Olympic Cafe read this review they should realize how confusing that experience was for our daughter. Please also realize that just about everyone loves to visit Hawaii, but not everyone wants to live there--so please do not worry about everyone suddenly moving there, which may have been the cause of the rude and horrible attitude of our waitress at the Olympic Cafe. read more

This morning we had a awesome breakfast at Olympic Cafe! We ordered the macadamia/banana pancakes and bacon avocado cheddar omelette, both were huge portions of course....great value, as I should have taken the rest of my uneaten pancakes home,they would be great right now! Lots of nuts/bananas also served coconut syrup...the best ever!!! read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. Decent location. We ordered a burger and the kalua pork burrito. They asked how we wanted the burger cooked. Told the waitress medium. Took one bite of the burger and it was burned. Since our waitress was no where in site for at least 5 minutes, and I was hungry, I took down as much of it as I could. AFTER the meal was finally over the waitiress stopped over. We told her the burger was burned. Her response was well you ate half of it there's nothing I can do now. Not even an apology from her. We weren't looking to get the meal taken off the check, merely an apology would have been nice. The burrito was just okay. For the $14 price tag that comes with it I would save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Huge menu with some healthy and vegetarian options with decent prices. Locals and tourists are both comfortable there. Happy hour drink specials every night and free taco buffet on Fridays. We like a seat next to the open air window to see what's happening on the street below. Food is better than just bar food. Fish tacos are worth trying. read more

Okay, so we ate here two times yesterday! Best restaurant meal yet! For lunch we had the blackened Ono sandwich and waffle fries. Delicious! Portions were large and did I say delicious?!! So we decided to try them for dinner as well. We ordered the seafood sampler and shared it. There was plenty for 2 people. Service was great both times...friendly waiters and waitresses! Make sure you give them a try while in Ka'paa! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. My family and I arrived around lunch time (my mom, husband and three little kids) and it took a while to be seated. The waitress was not friendly at all. She looked mad the entire time and didn't smile once. I ordered the "fresh fish tacos" and they were absolutely disgusting. They tasted like they had frost bite. The flavor was horrible. Not only that but it was just cubed fish in a tortilla...no yummy white sauce and lettuce/tomatoes that usually accompany fish in a fish taco. It came with rice and black bean on the side and the beans were horrible! I had fish tacos at Duke's in Lihue and they were amazing!! My mom had a burrito and she couldn't even eat it because the flavor was horrible. The kids got basic kid foods although they "don't have a kids menu" so you are forced to purchase an adult sized meal. My four year olds chicken tender plate was insane. He seriously got about 8 strips and a huge portion of waffle fries. The waitress rarely checked on us, never smiled and didn't ask us how our food was when we were done. Had she asked we would have told her most of it was in edible. Save your time and money and eat somewhere good. This place was very expensive, the service was horrible and the food disgusting....For a good meal I highly recommend Duke's in Lihue, Scotty's BBQ in Kapaa and Joes on the Green in Poipu. read more

The food here was great and the views were also great! I love the town of Kapaa and you can overlook the town at some tables! The waiters were super friendly and very polite! They have a big menu and lots to choose from! The first time I went I ordered a fish taco and it was amazing! The second time we ordered a salad and quesadilla to share, and they were both delicious! The servings sizes are HUGE, so I suggest splitting a meal with someone unless you're starving! I definitely recommend this if you're in Kapaa. read more

It was my birthday and I went there for the kauai mud pie, one of my favorite things and they said sorry were closed. It was 10:02 and they closed at 10:00. Thats all I was looking foward to for the whole day. The overall appearance of the place is really dirty. The stairs and tables are just super sticky. The food isn't that great. All I like is their mud pie. It is my favorite thing! I would go there more often if it wasn't so dirty. Also the outfits that the waitors and waitress have to wear are really bad. I feel so badly for them. read more

This place is great! The open air 2nd story view was great. The beer was cold the mai tais were good too The food was great and reasonably priced for Kauai where everything is more expensive. They had a great happy hour of basically fried bar food. We liked it! read more

This was a good place to stop for dinner on the way home from a long day on the beach. We were tired and needed a quick meal and drink, and it was very pleasant. We had fish and chips and a burger, and the staff was generally friendly. Get a booth or table by the road, and you'll feel the vibe of the town from outside. The atmosphere at that table outdid the food. read more

CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!!! I have eaten at this cafe a few times, the food is plenty and fair in taste. However the people that work at this restaurant are RUDE! I live on the Island for over 30 years and I have never been so insulted as a customer! We had to wait at least 15 minutes before we were acknowledged! (" This always happens each time I have gone"). Then she rushed us in our decision on our order!! It seemed like we were a bother! Apparently she (our waitress) was also the bartender. I could understand this behavior if it was busy, but only had a handful of people! As we were ending our lunch, I needed to go use the restroom...... which is outside of the restaurant and downstairs, so there was a employee behind the bar, I told the young lady that I was going to the restroom, ( there is a code) so I got the code from the hostess! Went downstairs, use the restroom, had a smoke, then took a peek inside the shop which is located directly under the Olympic Cafe. Next thing I knew our waitress came storming into the shop and started scolding me like a child! I just stood there in shock, she stormed out of the shop and I followed her upstairs. Tried to explain to her that I told the girl behind the bar that I was going downstairs, she (waitress/bartender) told me "NO YOU DIDN'T"! I have been looking for you for the last 20 minutes!!?? I have never, ever been treated like this, accused of lying and trying to walk out on the bill!!!! Really..... I would never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone! In all my years of living on Kauai I have never been treated so poorly as a paying customer! And I left a tip!!! My friend that was with me called and spoke to the manager on duty and she basically sugarcoated the whole situation and really did not hear what we were trying to get across! No wonder her employee's act up! I believe the should fire them all and start anew! read more

Great food. Great ambiance! Truly exquisite flavors!! A must do when local! read more

Food was good, huge portions. Staff was ok service seemed very distracted by coworkers. I got the chicken stir fry it was spicy, I wasn't expecting that. The atmosphere was a little grunge but I would go again. read more

Nice seating and atmosphere, we tried some of their specials.. I'd say food is OK. We'll go for the burger next time :-)

Cross your heart Catholic style when you mention the name of this place. My wife and I eat here often, in the two weeks we stay on Kauai. Great fish tacos. She loves the cobb salad. The beer is cold, the wine liberal, the clientel a mix of island visitors and local folks. Can't beat the location (for Kapa'a), overlooking the street, across from the ABC store, we prefer to sit street side. But the ocean-side tables are nice, too. And plenty of breezes. Now sing it with me, "holy, holy, holy..." read more

Came here after riding the bike trail to both ends and back, was recumended by the gal at coconut coaster. Food was good large portions. beer was cold. Great lunch great staff read more

Olympic Cafe - Seafood Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Ive been there twice and its been great both times. From burrito to burger to the thai pasta (really good actually) it was right on target! Not too expensive. Got seated quickly and waited on properly. It's kind of "sports bar meets ma and pa kitchen" but the TV's are NOT IN YOUR FACE like sports bars usually are. Good drinks too. It's cool, casual, tasty and well cared for - go check it out! read more

My wife and I spent the day on Kauai - this was our early evening spot for a couple drinks and awesome appetizers. This place is cool - it's open air on the 2nd floor with a nice overlook of Kapaa town and some peek-a-boo views of the ocean. Knowing, how local competition works in small towns, I can tell you those overly negative reviews are from competitors who probably don't stack up. We really liked Olympic Cafe and we'll be back next time we decide to spend a day on our neighbor island. read more

Excellent meal. Very large portions. The teriyaki burger and tomato basil chicken wrap were very good. Excellent waffle fries and dipping sauces. Fun location to watch the street activity below read more

Love This place!!! You get what you pay for & some!!! Went here for breakfast and got the chocolate pancakes comes with 3 huge pancakes bigger then your head!!! Also for lunch has the burgers and they are huge!!! Couldn't finishes everything but my bf loved it. read more

Fajitas were awesome a little spicy but okay. Normal flour tortillas. The teriyaki chicken was good but nothing you can't get on the mainland. Do not get the burgers. They are charbroiled on the grill and you can only taste the grill and not the meat. Unless you like that b read more

Olympics was on the second floor and is average when it comes to food. Ordered a island burger, was a generic burger with a pineapple and bbq sauce. Nothing too special. My wife ordered Linguine Alfredo which was nothing more than basic. This isn't a must go to if in the area but it's decent. read more

Can't beat this place. It has tons of menu items and they all good. Service is very good .

A solid 5! I wish someone had told us that the breakfast burritos could EASILY feed two! My wife and I each got the Kalua Pig Burrito and between us we only finished one and we had been hungry! For the price, sharing a burrito might be the best quality, lowest price food on the island for a couple. read more

Great food. Sit close to the bar and fans though. Unless you love flys scaring your wife. Lol. Great food strong drinks!!!!!

Great mid price pick. Lots of good choices. The Mai Tais today were particularly lethal. My husband and I ordered the seared Ahi appetizer to start and it was so good we ordered a second one, a huge treat and a highly recommend. Hula pie or Kauai pie, whatever it is. Share with at least 3 other people, it's huge and very sweet with the quart of ice cream each slice seems to contain. Burgers were good. Everything is fairly priced and the portions are all large. One more thing. At the height of the busy Christmas/New Year vacation their staff were so good. Maybe it's because they can look out the east windows from time to time and see the ocean, whatever it was, great staff. Nice, fast and accommodating! read more

We went there two times and got a burger with waffle fries (absolutely amazing) and a full rack of ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and the BBQ sauce was perfectly spicy. The second time we went, we got the shrimp salad and kalua pork wrap. Both great! The salad had too much dressing, but otherwise worth the trip! read more

We came for breakfast after hearing about this place from a friend. We had the breakfast burrito and the banana mac-nut pancakes. They were delicious but could feed many people so definitely consider sharing. The atmosphere is also awesome, ask for a table by the street, great views. read more

I Have Been Going To The Olympic Cafe For Years To Have Dinner After A Round Of Golf What A Way To Finish Off The Night With Great Food And Drinks They Have Something For Everyone Thank You See You Next May. read more

Hubby and I ate breakfast here this morning. Cute location with nice views. He ordered the breakfast burrito and I ordered the kalua pig burrito and we shared a stack of pancakes. Everything was delicious and very well seasoned. The burritos were huge, we both were only able to eat half of our burritos. The staff was friendly and attentive and overall we had a great experience. We will definitely be eating here again before the end of our vacation. read more

Cool atmosphere. Had the grilled chicken breast avocado club sandwich and waffle fries. Pretty good. My friend had the blackened ahi and said it was very tasty. Service was quick and very friendly, from the hostess to the waitress. Would go again. read more

Ordered the ono sandwich for dinner and didn't expect such a giant piece of fresh grilled fish. I thoroughly enjoyed it because I had expected a thin fried patty. Arrived around 8PM on a September evening. Lots of seating, no wait time. Really enjoyed sitting next to the balcony ledge, overlooking the main street with a slight breeze. read more
