    Went for breakfast Sunday morning but the wait ended up making it more of a brunch. Glad we waited though! Got the fried rice omelette with hash browns and oh my god. So good. I was full for most of the day after that but it was worth it.

    This place is one of the better restaurants on the island! The pancakes are huge and very delicious!! I recommend the coconut syrup it's to die for!! It can get crowded very fast! Worth a stop for a great breakfast.

    Restuarant was clean and wait staff were very friendly. They have an expansive breakfast menu. Which included most expected breakfast items. We both had breakfast sandwiches which cost around $10. The portions were large enough without being ridiculous. We had a very solid meal here. Not exotic, but good food and good service. No complaints at all.

    This was absolutely fabulous. Cute little restaurant with great service. We had the banana mac pancakes and the daily special, tamale skillet. Just heavenly. Definitely worth a visit but go early as it gets crowded.

    Well worth the money. Good food. No complaints other than the hard seats/benches... The macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup are off the charts good! Also had the Mediterranean omelet, which was also great. Great value for Kauai!...

    I'm trying to adequately explain this place. It's looks cool inside. The people seemed nice. It was mostly tourists inside which kind of tells you something. All the reviews boasted of huge pancakes so we wanted to try those for sure. I was a little shocked to see that one pancake was $7. I know it's the island but still; we all know what goes into a pancake and that's just silly. By the way, add "flavor" to a pancake, that's an extra $1.25. In the end I had the breakfast sampler which was 2 eggs, bacon, half a papaya, and two pancakes or three slices of french toast (About $14 because I made one pancake a banana pancake). The papaya was very good. The bacon was excellent. The eggs were really over done. I've never had scrambled eggs that were so over cooked. The banana pancake was pretty good. It was very different than the plain pancake which had a very different texture and consistency. It was tough and dense which I didn't care for. My wife had the cheesy eggs (+9). It was like an eggs benedict (english muffin, bacon, poached egg, and nacho cheese) and came with either hash browns, rice, or fresh fruit. She go the fruit which was a quarter of a papaya. I was very skeptical of this dish but it was tasty. I didn't want a lot of cheese on my bite because it's such an over powering flavor and lets face it, not really cheese. She got a half order and ate the whole thing but didn't really feel it was worth the money. I love breakfast and I know it's difficult to screw up so I'm always very disappointed to get a bad breakfast. this was not a bad breakfast but it certainly wasn't great. We won't go back because we want to try other things. We may however go back to Tip Top Motel because it was a good breakfast and very reasonable prices (check out that review next). Mahalo. (^ I'm being ironic. I'm a haole.)

    Lunch here at Kountry Kitchen was a waste of time and money. If you're looking for breakfast foods (omelets, pancakes, bacon) or a sandwich/burger, this is your place. There's nothing special on the menu that you can't get back home, even though the prices say otherwise. My chef salad was served warm with very wilted greens and Kraft brand-tasting ranch dressing. Even the day's special, eggs benedict with crab cakes and hollandaise, left much to be desired. I feel like the business depends immensely on the one-time only business of tourists.

  • Brett P.

    Waited 5 mins to have someone take our order and she didn't even say hello! When we did get service and she offered us coffee, there was lipstick on our cup, yuck! We should left and went down the street to another breakfast place, but we had already invested so much time waiting for the table we just wanted food. The saving grace for our visit was the food. My wife ordered the banana and chocolate chip pancake which was the size of a serving platter! It was HUGE, so bring your appetite. I ordered the kalua pork omelet which was stuffed full of pork and cheese. The egg was thin like another review mentioned, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. I would come back here if the breakfast place down the road wasn't open or there wasn't a long line out front. The food was great but the service just needed a little more attention.

    In one word, DELICIOUS! probably the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. In the ten days we stayed on Kauai, James and I ate breakfast here three times. We probably would have eaten here every morning had the restaurant not been 45 minutes from where we were staying. Each time we ordered something different and each breakfast was better than the last. I ordered the macadamia nut pancakes and ate them with their scrumptious coconut syrup. I was in heaven. I also ordered a side of hash browns and they were so good! The next time I visited I ate the coconut french toast. Hands down the best french toast I have ever had. I could have eaten two orders! On my third visit I had the Mexican Omelet and I scarfed it down. Everything was so tasty and delicious. Servers were on their game, and people funneled in and out of the restaurant quickly. It was packed every time we went there and had to wait 10-20 minutes to be seated. That is a testament to the greatness of Kountry Kitchen. I would definitely recommend a breakfast stop here if passing through Kapaa!

    My wife and I stopped in here for a late breakfast after reading the recommendation in our travel book. The prices were the first big block for me. Seven dollars for a pancake and extra for flavors? That's nuts. Very tourist trap prices all over the menu. Very over-rated restaurant. I ended up ordered a regular egg and meat breakfast because we were hungry and didn't want to search more. It was expensive and I could have made it better myself. My wife ordered a cob salad which involved some lunch meat and other poor ingredients. She didn't eat half of it. Service was totally adequate.

    This eatery is located along Kuhio highway in south Kauai. The eatery is a bright orange building therefore, making it hard to miss. The parking for this eatery is not designated directly in front the eatery, but rather down the block from the eatery with signs pointing customers into the parking lot area. The parking lot is a dirt lot. Upon entering the eatery, we were greeted with a smile by a host employee. The employee seated us and handed us menus right away after being seated then asked for our drink orders. While I examined their menu options, I was disappointed. Disappointed in how lacking the menu had in regular plates such as pancakes with eggs and hash browns in a single plate rather than having to order each item separately. Second, their pancake orders were also single therefore, if one desired three pancakes that would be about $12 for three since the selling price for a single pancake was $4 each. Moreover, I ordered some sort of combination plate which included pancakes and eggs, but costs about $15. The quality of the food was average. The service during our visit was average. At one given moment a male employee came to my table and offered to take my plate while I clearly was still eating from the plate...awkward. Overall, menu options are limited, but good size food portions. I would consider this eatery average.

    I saw all the hype on yelp and decided to give it a try! Waited for about 20 minutes to be seated so I assumed it's great since it's so busy. However, a server came and I asked her between the eggs Benedict or the cheesy egg, which one was better? She said "I don't know, I'll ask another server." She never came back! Waited another 10 minutes to finally get another server. Asked her the same question. She said "the cheese came out of a can and the hollandaise sauce is well you know the sauce". Service is terrible! Worst than Denny's! I'm just hoping the food is as good as everyone says. Cause no one mentioned how terrible the servers would be! This is the first time I've been disappointed with yelp reviews.

    Good breakfast with unfriendly service. Omelet had plenty of fillings and was cooked nicely. Hash browns were ok but undercooked. Girlfriend says her pancakes were flavorful, but not fluffy - too heavy.

    (3)

  • Mark V.

    Great breakfast, friendly staff. Homemade tamales (wtf?) in Kauai? Yup, and they're good. Parking is a little tough, park across the street and bring cash in case their credit card machine is down.

  • Jodi N.

    Had the Special of the Day breakfast. Eggs Benedict on Taro bread with Kalua Pork, also topped with Lomi lomi salmon. It was delicious. We ordered s combination of pancakes; chocolate chips, banana and macadamia nut. You have your choice of maple or coconut syrup. The chocolate chip pancakes are by far the best. Coconut syrup was good but too thin. We now have breakfast for the rest of the week.

  • Jerry M.

    A good variety on menu. Portions are very big. Order just 1 pancake. Seemed a little on high side. Quality average.

  • Rae M.

    Favorite meal on Kauai. and one of my top five favorite breakfasts EVER. As other people have said, there is usually a wait, but in my experience the food service and table cleanup is so quick that the 30-minute wait for a table for two that they gave me at the counter turned out to be more like 15 minutes. The staff is very prompt and efficient. And I must echo the opinions that the macadamia nut pancakes, coconut french toast, and luau omelet are amazing. Sooo delicious. It actually might be a good thing that I don't live nearby, because I would just want to eat here all the time.

  • Christine D.

    My friend and I decided to try Kountry Kitchen after reading decent reviews on YELP and let me tell you this place has the best macadamia nut and coconut pancakes on the island!! The pancakes were gianormous, fluffy, tasty and had a handful of coconut & macadamia nuts. What made it more amazing was the coconut syrup! We also tried the loco moco which was definitely satisfying. Since there were 3 pancake flavors macadamia nut, coconut, & chocolate we thought that we could customize our order and get chocolate macadamia nut pancakes but our server gave us a confused look so we just gave up on that order. Besides that little bit of confusion the servers were all very kind.

  • James B.

    Great breakfast spot. Prompt service. Great food. I had the Polynesian omelette and my wife had eggs Benny and both were excellent. The flavored French toast was a little sweet so be ready for that. All in all it was a nice last meal on the island .

    (5)

  • Sarah B.

    We ate here for breakfast after reading reviews and we're not disappointed. I had the kalua pork omelette and it was big enough for 2! It was really good. Service was decent, not the best ever, but the turn around was quick and the atmosphere was pleasant enough. I like that it opens early as most places on the island seem to open later. Coming from the mainland, we're awake early do it was nice that they were open!

    It's everything everyone says it is. Stop thinking. Eat here for breakfast.

    Mmmmm! I can still dream about my recent experience with the Breakfast Sampler. Flavored strawberry and toasted coconut pancakes accompanied with over easy eggs, bacon, and sweet papaya. I don't even really like papaya and because of this perfect papaya, probably the best one I've had in my life, I am now considering eating papaya more now! The sampler usually comes with buttermilk pancakes, but it's work the upgrade to the flavored pancakes, because it's sooo- good! As if the bacon was enough, I didn't want to be a brat and substitute yet another thing in the sampler, so I just ordered an extra side of the portuguese sausage. That was extra yummy and would do it again! Bryan ordered the Kalua pork and rice covered in gravy. I think it's called the Loco Moco... or was it moto...? Well, whatever loco it was, he loved it. It definitely took care of the the "plate lunch" cravings he had. Our group of 4 came around 9:30am on a Thursday and they sat us right away. It didn't take even 10 minutes after being seated before the place really filled up and there was a 20+ minute wait. We really lucked out that time! Definitely stop here in Kapaa if you want a filling and yummy breakfast!

    Great diner! Came for breakfast, ordered the loco moco and corned beef hash and eggs. Both were awesome and very filling.

  • Erin V.

    Great breakfasts/brunch. I had the pancake (yes, it's only 1 but it's huge) w/ macadamia nuts and bananas with coconut syrup. My husband ordered the special- 2 corn tamales w/ pork and a salsa and my son ordered french toast. I read the reviews and it said that 1/2 of the regular FT order was sufficient. I don't agree. He's 14 with a small appetite and it wasn't enough. I'm sure the whole would have been fine. P.S. The "gps" on YELP is wrong. Kountry Kitchen is about 1 block further than it appears on YELP.

  • Lynn B.

    Great place for a nice big filling breakfast. The corn bread is fantastic. It gets pretty crowded, but the service and turnover is fast, so it's worth the wait. Lots of variety on the menu, good prices!

  • Maren B.

    Great atmosphere, friendly and efficient waitstaff...and the food was really good too! The only reason I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is because the spinach and mushrooms on my garden benedict were cold, which makes sense since we waited longer than normal to get our breakfast. Still an overall positive experience, and I would recommend it to anyone in Kapa'a.

  • Ben S.

    Very tasty food. Much of the food is just standard diner fare, but some of it is excellent. I had the mixed platter, with bacon, eggs, and French toast, which was perfectly fine but not mind-blowing. But then I ate some of my wife's tamale and egg special, which was a-frickin'-mazing. It was spicy but not too spicy, with egg, sour cream, and polenta perfectly balanced. A word to the wise: the portions are huge; don't try to finish them. With my wife, my in-laws, and me working on my wife's dish alone, we just finished, and we were all stuffed to capacity. Do yourself a favor and just take your leftovers home.

    If you have a day when you want to carb up, then skip lunch, this is the place. My omelet seemed to get bigger as I ate it! Good solid American style breakfast.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast this morning. Moco loco with a twist Macadamian pancakes and half a papaya I have never tasted a papaya so sweet and so yummy. The moco loco was delicious and the pancakes were enormous and so yummy! Best breakfast in Kauai

    (5)

  • Margie S.

    The wait was long, but totally worth it. We had the garden benedict and the eggs Marge. The eggs were perfectly poached, the tomatoes and mushrooms were fresh and delicious, and the hash browns perfectly crispy. Service was prompt and efficient. I would make it a point to come back on a future trip.

  • Brent V.

    A great country breakfast... I drive from Carmel just to eat here :-)

  • Mona N.

    The portions are huge here and you definitely get your money's worth. There was two of us and we ordered an omelette and pancake to share and we had leftovers for another meal! The pancake is the size of of a 12" plate. The hash brown that came with the omlette was delish! The omlette was a bit greasy, but still good. The omlette dish also comes with a huge piece of cornbread. Did I forget to mention that you get you get your bang for your buck here?!

    (4)

  • Ian S.

    This is a great place, with a nice mix of locals and tourists. The family running the restaurant was super friendly, and I can't complain at all about the service. The servings were both enormous and delicious. Expect all the standard hearty breakfast fare, except perhaps with a slight tropical twist. I had the kalua pig omlette, and it was delicious!

    (5)

  • R W.

    From the macademia nut pancake with coconut syrup to the ono breakfast, everything here is satisfying. We have been here several times and have always walked away full and satisfied. We have tried most of the menu by now and have not found a hole in it yet. The hash browns are crispy and full of flavor (a pet peeve of mine is unseasoned potatoes, so no problem here). And the corn bread, nice! My only comment is get there early and you will not have to wait (but the wait is worth it).

    (5)

  • Arunima C.

    We stopped by here on the way to North Shore from Poipu. There seem to be a bunch of breakfast places in Kappa but we picked this place based on reviews in a guidebook. Plus points - decent eggs (Mediterranean was full of fresh veggies, polynesian had interesting flavor combination of kimchi and portuguese sausages) - corn bread was soft, warm and tasty. - chocolate chip pancakes were good. The portion sizes were huge. We were overwhelmed by the sight of massive plates of food, the pancake was as big as the plate it was served in. I suppose we should have checked the reviews more thoroughly before ordering here. Service was decent and even though the place was packed, we were seated within 5 minutes. Like most places in Kauai, this is an average place with average food.

    (3)

  • Robin A.

    Pricey, but you get what you pay for. My husband and I were satisfied with everything we ordered, and we really liked the juice of the day, which was freshly made pineapple juice with ginger. We didn't know the juice of the day cost extra, though, and that it wasn't included with the meal (which gives you the option of choosing juice or coffee).

    (4)

  • David H.

    Good basic breakfast - generous portions. Very friendly waitstaff. Mix of locals and tourists - felt very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely return.

  • Cameron C.

    always good stuff. only 4 stars cause the kitchen doesn't like to accommodate any changes. but you should try this place for breakfast. you will leave stuffed.

    (4)

  • Chris E.

    The food was excellent. Great location near beach. Only slight downside is its expensive. $40 for 2 adults and 2 children. Worth it for good food. I'll be back!

    (4)

  • Chelsea T.

    We went here 3 times while we were staying in Kauai for a week. Tried something different each time, although the bacon, avacado, sour cream omellete was the best. The first time we were in a hurry and they boxed up our breakfast and got it out to us in a hurry. It was nice to have a place we could keep coming back to. Delicious!

    (5)

  • Isabel D.

    Country feel definitely. Grilled pork hops were very good and well seasoned! :) we had one stack of the macadamia but chocolate chip pancake and it was heaven!! Order one pancake only as this comes as big as a regular size plate! Unless you're a pancake monster :)

  • Holly R.

    Wow the best banana Mac pancake, French toast ever! Perfectly cooked! To die for coconut syrup!! I could drink it!

    Best mushroom omelette I've ever had to this day. love this spot. Macadamia but pancakes strong two spot for me

  • Gina K.

    All the great reviews about this place was right on! :) We have 2 little boys (about to turn 2, and 3 years old) and this was just the right place for a 7:30 am breakfast out with them. Not only was the food affordable, it was so good! The keiki menu item we ordered was well more than enough for 2 hungry boys. It included 1 BIG pancake (as big as someone's head, if not bigger), 2 strips of bacon and milk. My husband ordered the kim chee, cheese, sausage omelette and it was one of the best I've ever had! Who knew kim chee and cheese would work well together??! We're going back for more this morning with our extended family in tow to check it out. The restaurant is small, so coming in with a small group of 2 or 4 is easy for seating...anything larger, you'll probably have problems or will be separated in seating. I highly recommended it.

    (4)

  • Philip N.

    Plain and simple, if you're looking for breakfast in Kapaa, you've got to go to Kountry Kitchen. The place gets packed after 9 AM, so get there early. I saw tons of patrons eating the loco moco, so it seems like that's a real popular dish. I've had that before though, so I wanted something I could really find back on the mainland. So I opted for the kalua pork omelette which was great, and my wife's macademia nut coconut pancakes were about as good as pancakes get. Their coffee blend was the real winner however, which is far and above anything I've ever had at any breakfast diner. My wife tried to ask what beans they used, but were hilariously rejected. Seriously, it's a secret.

    (4)

  • Amber N.

    I'm not sure what the hype about this place is. We came here for breakfast because of the rave reviews . Very long wait (40 min). The banana pancake was ok, just average. The side order of bacons was burned black about 50%. We had to ask them for a different bacon. The replaced bacon had this raw lard taste to it that we had to immediately spit it out. We just gave up after that. Would not coming back to this kitchen again, totally not worth the wait or the money.

    (2)

  • Dan M.

    Very good and freshly made comfort food. We had breakfast and the portions were HUGE! They may be able to lower their prices some if the portions were smaller. The food is great and the service was awesome! A special shout-out to our waitress, Esty. She is so cute and perky and she provided great service.

    (4)

  • Judy T.

    Good portions of good food. If you're getting ready for a hike, this is the place to get some carbs and power up. Pancakes were delicious, and the kalua pork omelette was to die for. The service was good, and our drinks were refilled multiple times. However, it got a little strange at the end. Our waitress was leaving for the day and another waitress took over for her but figured that since she'd taken our payment, we didn't need service anymore.

    (3)

  • Reed A.

    Koconut pancake was amazing. The host was eccentric, amazing and entertaining. The decor, mostly the roosters, make the whole dining experience delightful. But seriously...this place amazing, stop looking and go eat.

    (5)

  • Shar E.

    Waited around 15mins to be seated and ordered the mac nut and banana pancake and the coconut french toast with a side of bacon once the waitress finally came to our table! Overall the food wasn't worth the wait but we left satisfied and ready to tackle time on the beach.

    (3)

  • R C.

    A hole in the wall breakfast joint. Coffee, eggs, and the like. Couldn't eat the pancakes but the papaya was a nice treat. They have a parking lot next to the building which is hard to see from the road/if you're not familiar.

    (2)

  • David C.

    We followed Yelp reviews and ordered the moco loco and the banana and coconut pancakes. I don't understand what all the fuss is about -- the food is heavy, expensive, and mediocre. Nothing stood out at ALL about this place, except for the cutesy kitschy decor.

    (2)

  • Jacob P.

    The dude that runs the front is really cool and relaxed. Come here ready to relax and eat a large delicious breakfast. This is not a place to have breakfast if you are in a hurry but its worth the wait. Good breakfast and good deals. Staff are friendly and fast. Portions are very large with lots of flavor. Good parking across the street too. Lots of aloha at this place.

    (5)

  • Shanell P.

    We had to wait for about 15 mins or so..and encountered a rude ass guest who skipped the line to get her name on the waitlist sign up sheet. (I hate rude people!) Everyone else was polite and the staff very friendly. But we waited much too long for our food. And once it finally came, the waitress was told that she gave one of the wrong omelette and she proceeded to slice through my husbands omelette to check! We stayed calm and my hubby gave me a wtf look. Smh. Needless to say the order wasnt wrong. Minus 1 star for that. I ordered the garden omelet with a side of bacon. Delicious! Hubby ordered the chefs omelet which came with sour cream and bacon and tomato. And a side of Mahi Mahi (12oz) He loved it. Our bill came up to $50ish. Good place to eat outside the resorts.

  • Sophie L.

    We finally got to try it at 6 am in the morning on our way to the airport. It's a really cute place with local charms. It seems like there's a lot of locals. I give it 4 stars for the food. We had macadamia nuts pancakes and loco moco. The pancakes are huge and it's very flavorful. You can taste whole nuts in the pancake. We liked the loco moco, the gravy is not too salty or heavy but the patty was a little dry without much flavor. The eggs are cooked perfectly on top. We might come back.

    (3)

  • Bren B.

    Warning: huge portions.. And good food. The mac nut pancakes my boyfriend had looked and smelled amazing (about the size of a large dinner plate) and I had the luau omelet which was good too. The staff was friendly and quick. I would come back here on my next visit.

    (4)

  • Ryan O.

    They're fast, I'll give them that. They are also overpriced even for Hawaii. I think both our server and the gal that rung us up were robots. Food is okay. If your in a rush go here. If not, go elsewhere.

    (3)

  • Brian K.

    Good food, fast service. Pancakes are huge! Coffee is hot. Great place for breakfast, prices are a bit steep, but overall great!

  • Debbie N.

    We headed north toward Kapaa in search of pancakes. I was tempted to avoid Kountry Kitchen since it was a paid ad but that would have been a mistake. The special, Portuguese stuffed French toast was incredibly good. The stuffing was mango and pineapple with cream cheese - add the coconut syrup and it was a sugar dream! I had loco moco which was good except an over cooked meat patty which the tons if brown gravy took care of. We'd definitely give it a try again.

    Love this place! Went there twice when I was on my trip. Very yummy food and good portions. They also have a very good selection. Only open for breakfast and lunch.

  • Jonathan W.

    THE best breakfast on Kauai. I had the big ass Kountry Kowboy breakfast (I actually have no recollection of what it was called. It was 2 eggs, 2 portions of hash browns, bacon, 2 - 4oz. filets of fresh mahi mahi, corn bread, and a custom mixed juice blend for something like $15. Sarah W. had the macadamia nut pancakes (best on the island) and we shared everything. I probably ate 2000 calories, but it lasted me till dinner. Great food, friendly service - THE best Kauai breakfast, period.

  • T C.

    Solid down home cooking. The menu offers an array of great eats. The pork chops and rice was good; thick, juicy, and the portions were fair (~$13). The Hungry Man breakfast was large and filling (~$13). The coffee is always fresh and good. Other important info: located near Coconut Marketplace area and Kauai Police Dept and Mermaids Cafe and Chicken In A Barrel, limited street parking in front, limited parking in lot just past the restaurant, service is hit or miss depending on who is serving you, chicken knick knacks and art everywhere, and opens early.

  • Jim H.

    Ok, so we tried it once more to be sure .BAM!! This is the best omelet I've had. Ordered the Laua again (Kalua pork, spinach, onions, and cheddar cheese). This time with a side of Spam. Why search for any place else? You may have to wait for a table but there's a reason! Slow down you're in Kauai! Take it easy brah! I will attempt this at home with my wife's outta bounds carnitas pork. We'll see. Just too expensive to fly back to Kauai for breakfast! Mahalo nui loa Kountry Kitchen.

    This place is great for breakfast! I ordered the fried rice omelette which was not found on the menu, and I must say it was everything I was looking for! They certainly know how to take an Asian dish and make a fusion with an American classic.

    Great breakfast sandwich with hash browns. Small place. They prefer cash but take card. Skip the coffee.

  • Annabelle D.

    I had high hopes for this place because it got good reviews but my experience was not great. I was craving a banana-mac pancake ever since I arrived on the island so thought this would be the place to get it. The service was quick and friendly but the pancake was undercooked. It was as big as the plate and there were parts of it that were uncooked batter. I ate around it as much as I could. It's too bad because I'm sure other items on the menu were good, maybe I just got the wrong thing or they were just too much in a rush to get me out the door since they were busy.

    (3)

  • Erin M.

    This was one of our favorite meals on Kauai. I ordered the corned beef hash, which was pretty good, but I tried my mom's coconut french toast, and that was amazing. We came with a large group so had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated (we expected this). The service was fast enough and our server was friendly. Next time I am on Kauai I will definitely return.

    Great local food. Nice people. Service, like most places in HI can be a little slow. There can be a wait, but they get you in and out quickly if you want that. We had the fresh mahi mahi and French toast. Both were good. Another day we had the pork tamale special. Also good. Three stars for the fact that some of the food is reheated in a microwave. It's a diner, if you want comfort breakfast food, Hawaii style, you are in the right place.

    Amazing!!! I ordered the macadamia nut pancake and used the coconut syrup provided on the table. It was fantastic! I was worried that one wouldn't be enough to sustain me for a busy day of diving, but it was plenty (it could feed two or more, easily). The waitress said it was plate size - she didn't specify what size plate. It was roughly 12" in diameter. My husband ordered the two egg breakfast - ham and cornbread were his choices for the sides. The cornbread was fabulous. It tasted homemade. The ham...I generally don't like eating ham from restaurants. This was tender and had a good flavor - not like the hockey pucks generally served at restaurants. Sooooo good!

    Best breakfast place on this side on the island! Try the French toast and anything with the gravy. You won't be disappointed.

  • Howard C.

    Kind of like a Hawaiian Dennys. Nothing special, though the mac nut pancakes were nice and fluffy and they were generous with the mac nuts. The mahi was fresh as well. With a 30minute wait at 9:30AM and 15 minute wait for food, I wouldn't come back.

    I don't know about you, but sometimes I just want some comfort food served in ridiculously large portions. Kountry Kitchen satisfied this craving. I went with the special of tamale and eggs. Not sure if they always have this, but it was insanely good. First, we're talking a sweet corn tamale stuffed with shredded pork that is the size of a brick. Then they slap on a fried egg because it just makes sense. Finally, everything is smothered in a rich poblano cream sauce. Fresh made flour tortillas on the side to mop up all the excess flavor bits. I needed a long hike to walk this bad boy off but it was so worth it. Highly recommend!

    Had to wait about1/2 hour but it was worth the wait. I had the Loco Moco with Kalua pork and fried rice. It had massive gravy and it was one of the best I've had. Service was good. We also had the Mac pancakes with Coconut syrup and it had lots of Mac nuts and it was a very large portion. We will most definatley go again.

  • Matt F.

    Second and third visit here on my second trip to Kaua'i. The loco moco is always good, stepped out a bit and had the Polynesian omelet. Different but wonderful. Pancakes are HUGE. You can't go wrong with macadamia nuts in he pancakes with coconut syrup. Expect to wait for a seat, but it doesn't take long, and is worth the wait.

    I had breakfast at Kountry Kitchen this morning and was not overwhelmed. I had a mushroom and cheese omelet that was good. The hash browns were overcooked and not very good. I thought the meal was average but the prices were very high. I am used to high prices living in California and this even seemed a little excessive. The omelet was $11, an extra .50 for sourdough toast and $4.25 for a side of bacon! So pre-tax and tip the meal was $15.75. I personally think that is a lot even for Kauai standards and will not be returning. I was also turned off by a typed part of the menu stating they prefer cash but will take credit cards. Really, who says that?

  • Alex B.

    This is a omelette and pancake place mostly. If you're in the mood for a hearty typical American breakfast with a Hawaiian twist, this is your place. I would give it 3 stars if it were just me, but the service and how happy it made the wife and two boys earns it another. I had the kalua pork omelette and found the eggs overcooked and the pork dry and not as flavorful as other local versions. Hashbrowns were good and the portions were really too big. The kids couldn't have been happier with their banana pancakes. The bacon that came with was meh. My wife also loved her Mediterranean omelette, but the eggs were overcooked there too. Service was wonderful and my coffee and ice water were constantly filled. If you want a big diner style breakfast that will appeal to the whole family, and/or are nursing a hangover, this is your place. If you want something refined, look elsewhere.

    I will be dreaming about the breakfast I had here until the next time I go back. Went later in the morning and surprisingly the wait wasn't as bad as we had been told. The woman who seated us was super friendly, and the servers were great. I ordered coconut and macadamia nut pancakes, and chose the options to have half a papaya with bacon and eggs. You had the options of warm coconut syrup an maple (try the coconut!!) on the table. SOOOO delicious!! Mmmmmmmmmmm. Best pancakes, and most succulent papaya, bacon cooked perfectly! This is a small and cozy restaurant. Large tables are shared between parties, but it is fun, welcoming, casual, and provides a nice sense of community dining (don't get me wrong you still have your space). This is a definite if you visit Kauai. Yum yum!

  • David R.

    Had the Loco Moco, which was probably my least favorite during my visit to the Hawaiian Islands. Not that it was bad, but it just wasn't all that great. Seemed a little pricey, too. The service was great and speedy, and the food came out quickly. The guy at the counter, who seemed to be the owner, was kind of grumpy. Don't know why, he is running a gold mine. Place is packed and always seemed to have a wait, even on a Tuesday morning.

  • Heather W.

    This is why I love yelp. You go in expecting what you read, and that's what you get. The hubby and I waited about ten minutes for our table, got our coffee right away, and the food took a bit long, in my opinion. They appeared to be a bit short staffed, but everyone was nice, so you forgive it. We shared the hungry man breakfast with mahi, and one each of the macadamia and coconut pancakes. I love them both, but the hubby preferred the coconut. Everyone is right about the coconut syrup. It's great and not at all super sweet and fake coconut flavored like I expected. The mahi was a bit overcooked, but tasty and we got a huge slice of it. I would definitely go back.

  • Shellie W.

    This place is the better place to have breakfast on this island. We made it right before the rush so we got lucky and were seating right away. Hostess and the waitress were friendly and our meal was served quickly. This IS A POPULAR PLACE so expect to wait accordingly or get there early. I had a pancake (yes, it is just one because it is the size of the plate - couldn't even finish half of it) with mac nuts and bananas and it rocked. Delicious, delicious! My husband had the Loco Moco and the gravy was excellent the dish overall was as good as other places he has had it, good. Would go again!

  • Dustin T.

    Long wait in the mornings. Go early. We went around 10am and waited nearly 50 minutes. It then took another 30 minutes to get our order in and another 20 to get our food. The food isn't spectacular, just another breakfast joint. Expensive too.

  • Susanna W.

    Not a huge fan of this place. AMBIANCE: Kitschy interior. I liked the fierce animal print roosters on the wall. The space is rather small, but at least it didn't feel claustrophobic (but we were there at 7am, and I can imagine how uncomfortable it would be if more people were there). SERVICE: Spotty. The place wasn't super busy but we still had to wait a while for someone to take our order and refill our water. FOOD: Everything came out quickly/ - Fresh pineapple: satisfied a craving, but pretty pricey for a small bowl ($3.25) - Peanut butter banana pancakes: a special that day. $6.25 for one pancake. Uber peanut buttery, but no banana taste at all. The pancake it self was mushy-- I wish it had a crispier skin and was fluffier. The coconut syrup was good, but couldn't save the dish. I wouldn't order it again. - Polynesian omelette: For $12 I was expecting fluffy eggs and delicious filling. Instead we got a very thin egg shell filled with overly salty and greasy Portuguese sausage, onions and a gross cheese. No thanks. OVERALL: Nope. Not coming back. I'd take a breakfast musubi from Pono Market over Kountry Kitchen ANYDAY.

    Really great customer service. it's small with cute chicken decor. Luckily, we arrived early (or luckily) enough to have a seat quickly. They prefer cash, but do take plastic, fyi. My husband ordered a macadamia nut and a pineapple pancake. They were good, but we didnt think it was the BEST EVER, but good. I had a simple breakfast - eggs & hashbrown and meat (lol i cant remember what kind, sorry). All was good and i have no complaints.

  • Tim S.

    The food here is no joke. The loco moco served here is the Hawaiian version of top notch southern biscuits and gravy. Hearty, savory and amazingly good. Order it with Kalua Pork for a more authentic Hawaiian flavor. My wife & I shared the Macadamia Nut pancakes. They were super fluffy and the texture of the MacNuts with the pancakes made them SOOO good. Pair these with the provided coconut syrup on the table and you have a winner. The serving sizes are large, so make sure to go with one or two other people so you can split up your meal family style. BTW, when I say coconut syrup, we're NOT talking about some coconut-flavored maple syrup. It's really coconut syrup -- an opaque white syrup made from coconuts. When poured on top of the pancakes, the syrup adds a rich and pleasantly sweet flavor. All the flavors are dialed in to perfection. The perfect Hawaiian breakfast. Don't forget your hand truck at home so they can wheel you out of the restaurant after you're through.

  • Theresa K.

    Why do we go back? I don't know...maybe because it's easy. Eggs come two ways...scorched or raw, pick your poison. Ask for a cheddar omelet , you'll get American processed cheese food 2 out of 3 times. Coffee? Tastes like dirty laundry water. Holy cow, I have never had coffee that tasted that bad. The service is so- so. Overall I would find another place. Don't waste your money.

  • Josh S.

    Gigantic Pancakes. I didn't know. So I ordered 3. All for myself. The server laughed at me as she delivered to me. She even smiled as she delivered knowing that I would drop my jaw after seeing these monster circles. They were awesome by the way. If you ever come here. Go for the macadamia nuts. They are speechless. Only if someone told me about their size, I wouldn't have wasted $2.49 for extra two pancakes I ordered. They were alright too but couldn't match up against mac nut.

  • Lynn P.

    My favorite meal is breakfast. I was excited to try check this place out. The cornbread was decent, not dry. We ordered the Coconut french toast that was recommended but it dry. It was very very lightly coated with batter so it was just like eating plain bread. I ordered a side of pork sausages that were very thin slices of over cooked meat. I ordered the eggs benedict with the hollandaise sauce on the side. My plate came out with the food smothered in sauce. However, I thought the luau omelet was tasty. We asked for water and didn't get it until 10 mins later after we asked again. We had both cups of coffee on the outter side of the table but they only refilled one cup and skipped my cup twice and I had to ask for coffee. The bill was over $50 for breakfast. Not worth it.

  • Richard R.

    First trip to the island and I was debating between Ono Family Restaurant and Kountry Kitchen for a nice hearty breakfast. Kountry Kitchen was recommended to me by a few locals and they were right. Friendly service and great food. Went with a large family and no one was disappointed. The gravy on the loco moco is delicious, and even the toast, which is usually an afterthought, was great. A mix-up or two on our orders but they were pleasant and glad to accommodate. Good enough that I went a second time on our trip and I would go again next time I'm in Kauai!

  • Carol L.

    My friend and I came here on my friend Rose's recommendation, making it the first stop on our trip straight from the airport. Nothing I love better than breakfast. Breakfast for breakfast. Breakfast for lunch. Breakfast for dinner. I had the grilled mahi mahi with over easy eggs. It's served with hash browns or rice, cornbread or toast. You can pick one or two 6 oz. fillets. It's a lot of food. The fish was simple and tasty. The hash browns were good, but I would ask for them crispy. My eggs were too buttery/greasy. The corn bread was amazing. The regular coffee was nice and strong. Overall, a pretty good meal.

  • Tonia S.

    Pancakes bigger than a dinner plate & amazing omelets. this place is a must enjoy for breakfast while on the island!! If you're staying on another part of the island- it's worth the 20 minute drive. Everything that we ordered in our group was amazing. There weren't any bad choices. It's american breakfast/food. Cute little restaurant dishing out some of the best breakfast plates! worthy of being featured on a triple D episode on FoodNetwork.

  • Craig J.

    Great little spot that offers lots of options. Girlfriend an I went on a reco from some friends that "ate here every morning". We had the cornbread, which was moist, warm, and flavorful. Went on to Mediterranean omelette, which didn't sport much Mediterranean fare but was great nonetheless. She had 1 chocolate chip and 1 strawberry pancake... WARNING! Although delicious, they are HUGE (the size of an entire plate) and easily shared. It comes with a half of a papaya, which she loved! Needless to say, we will find the time to revisit.

    Whatever kool-aid some of the other reviewers had while visiting this establishment, I didn't get to have any. While this place does serve breakfast food, I didn't see anything remarkable about it. Furthermore the service was somewhat laissez faire. There's a gentleman in there who seats tables and serves, who is dressed so casually that I got the impression I was being bothered by some ruffian rather than being seated at a restaurant. The others I was with insisted on returning here, so I had ample opportunity to make sure that it wasn't an isolated incident. I ordered some macadamia pancakes, and got these dry, rubbery discs which held little resemblance to the fluffy and moist texture expected of pancakes. The eggs Benedict was passable, but I had an empty coffee cup for longer than I might've liked. The menu selection is a little limited, in that if you're uninterested in omelettes, there went almost half the menu. Aaaand another nail in the coffin is that this is a Visa/MasterCard only establishment. No acceptance of American Express or Discover. Lastly, there's this art all over the restaurant. These anthropomorphized chickens are on the vacations that most of their customers are probably on. I imagine that it's supposed to be piquant or rustic, but comes off as annoying.

    You know when you go to a restaurant, and you pick out the thing that sounds so awesome to you that you doubt it could possibly meet your expectations, and then it's even better than you thought it could be, and then you wind up having to get that the next time you go there even though it's highly likely that other things on the menu could, in fact, be equally as wonderful and special and coconut-related? Yeah, coconut sweet bread french toast, I'm talking to you. Other things on the menu are probably awesome. I have no idea. Coconut sweet bread french toast. Also, coconut syrup. At the same time. It's like a double rainbow of magic inside my mouth, people! Let me also mention at this point, fellow tourists, that 20 minutes on a beautiful Sunday morning during Kauai's crazy high season is NOT a huge-ass wait for awesome breakfast foods of this caliber. Have you been to New York City? I have waited in the freezing cold for over an hour for pancakes that didn't deserve to sit in the same food pyramid as this french toast. So stop being such babies. Also, if this is the rudest service you've encountered, you've never been to Hamura Saimin and you might never want to go to a DMV or Post Office ever. We actually built a day around a repeat trip to Kountry Kitchen. I'm just saying. Food is good.

  • Claytonian C.

    Yup, go here for breakfast. We had pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast. They have Coke products if you are a coke vs. pepsi fan. Everyone is super friendly and they keep that coffee mug filled. Good stop for breakfast on the way from the north shore to the south, or to Lihue airport.

  • James K.

    Waitress has lack of enthusiasm and doesn't give a good environment to order food. The host just throws the menus on the table and walks away. What seemed like a popular place according to yelp, resulted in a horrible eating experience at the end of the day. Food was mediocre at best. I've had better at many places on the island. If anything, the bad service ruined my food experience.

  • Amy M.

    We went for breakfast this morning. The wait was only about ten minutes. I'm not sure if it was the owner who sat us but she must have been having a bad day because she looked miserable. The portions are huge. I ordered a macadamia nut pancake with coconut syrup - to die for. I thought the coffee was pretty good so I asked the waitress what kind it was. She said that it was the restaurants mixed blend. My husband asked if it was Hawaiian and she said "no".. After looking at the Kirkland (Costco) condiments on the table, I am to assume that I can roll up to the warehouse to get some. Shane since Kauai has some great local coffee. Again, my breakfast was great but service needs some work....

  • Daniel T.

    Loved the pancakes... macadamia nuts in every chew, not bite and their syrup was amazing. There really are a lot of macadamia nuts in them. They were fresh, soft, and moist. They're huge so we had to take them back to the hotel. Just a tip though, if you're taking them to go, they're really dry after microwaved so drench it with syrup before leaving. The coffee was strong, which is how I prefer it. They refill when you're low. I would definitely come back.

    Stopped by for breakfast on the way up to Princeville. Parking is a few stalls in front and an unpaved parking lot accross the road. Wait wasn't too bad for Sunday brunch time. Had the corned beef & hash browns, parents had the pancake & eggs benedict. Food was delivered hot and in a timely manner. Portions were huge for a reasonable price. Taste was okay, I don't think too much of our items were scratch-made. Good place for a vacation breakfast!

  • Michelle B.

    After a big disappointing breakfast in Poipu - I couldn't help but be excited for Kountry Kitchen. I had high expectations and KK delivered! Hubby ordered the banana macadamia nut pancakes (with a healthy helping of coconut syrup) and a side of..mahi mahi - He figured if he ordered a side of fish the caloric intake might be forgiving. I shared corned beef hash with rice with kid#2. Kids' #1 and #3 shared the buttermilk pancakes. My friend ordered the sweet bread french toast with a fruit salad. Fortunately my swift fork stabbing action had gone under the radar before anyone can refuse to share - MAN! The french toast were melt-in-your-mouth buttery goodness AND the banana mac nut pancakes, well, it was so good you can hear angels sing, AAAAAAAAAH! The coffee was mediocre - the wait wasn't too bad (20 mins.) on a week day..Good luck getting a table on the weekend! Kountry Kitchen is our go-to breakfast place in Kauai!

    The last time I had this generic of a breakfast was when I was on a plane. I have no idea why people are lined up outside to get in here. Would be cheaper, better and quicker to buy the boxed stuff at the supermarket and cook 'em at home. Sorry.

  • Jen M.

    Was there at around 9:30am on a Monday. Banana pancake with coconut syrup. YUMMY!!!! But, no joke, only order one. It's as big as a frisbee and very fluffy and yummy. Hubby got the kalua pig omelette which was super good, and the hash browns were cooked as hash browns should be. I would definitely go back!

  • Alan B.

    Used to eat here regularly, but a series of bad experiences turned me off. Their food is usually ok, but the wait for a table can be brutal. The service is at best apathetic, at worst appallingly rude. God help you if you have a complaint with your food. They really don't care.

  • Harold P.

    The coconut syrup is the best I've had on the island and makes their plain pancakes a little more extraordinary. The pancakes were fluffy but ironically I had to use a knife and fork to cut through them. The luau omelet was enormous looking and had a generous helping of pork (though slightly salty), good amount of fresh spinach and cheese, and the onions were cooked through. The hashbrowns are nothing special but they are fried crisp and the top layer provided a nice texture when eaten with the omelet. I'm not sure why the cornbread gets such great reviews - it's on the dry side and a bit salty when eaten alone. Service is spotty but ok if you're not in a hurry...or too thirsty.

  • Stephanie G.

    My husband and I went here for breakfast while on vacation a few weeks ago. SO GOOD. Many locals recommend it, and in fact, many locals also eat here. Our waitress from the previous night was here with her family. It's gotta be legit. The decor is cute and kitchy - roosters everywhere (possibly to mirror the wild rooster/hen population ravaging the island?) Whatever - I didn't mind. I thought it was fitting. It has a very typical breakfast diner feel. The service is good, quick, and attentive. I ordered the sweetbread coconut french toast. GOOD. I would order it again in a heartbeat. Very flavorful, and just mouthwatering (seriously - my mouth is watering right now). My husband had an omelette with kim chi and portuguese sausage - again, so good! He got cornbread as a side, and that was also delish. I definitely understand why so many people recommend this spot.

  • Ambrosia K.

    I was born and raised on the island and I have been going here for years, so here are the best things on the menu, IMHO: -Coconut Sweetbread French Toast: made with sweet bread and fried with coconut in the batter and topped with macadamia nuts, I order this nearly every time we go (we go about once a month). Best french toast I've ever had, and its even better with the coconut syrup. -Garden Benedict: If I'm going to order something else, it would be this. It is a vegetarian version of eggs benedict with tomatoes, spinach, portobello mushrooms all on a toasted english muffin. I get it with extra hollandaise and hash browns. -Chef's Sour Cream Omelette: At least one of my parents orders this when we go. It's a big omelette with (I think) tomatoes, potatoes, bacon, sour cream and green onions. Delish and huge. Also, the cornbread is amazing here and serve in massive chunks. The prices are low and the portions are very good. You definitely have to arrive early for this one since it gets very full around 8:30/9 ish, especially on weekends. It is a local favorite and it definitely deserves its reputation.

  • J. M.

    First of all, I've never been compelled to write a restaurant review until now. My husband and I scoured books and websites to find the best local fare, particularly breakfast. Just before we got seated, a couple came up to pay and said it was such a bad meal. Greasy. Overlooked. And the place had come highly recommended to them by the Hyatt. The hostess didn't bat an eye and gave them their meal free. I was happy my husband didn't hear this exchange, as we had just driven 20 miles based on many positive recommendations. My hash browns must have been deep fried they were so crunchy. Nothing resembling a potatoe left. My omelet had more Swiss cheese than eggs. My son got the French toast special. One piece of French toast about two inches thick for $12.75. It was more like heated bread than French toast. Way overpriced besides for one slice. My husbands pancakes were huge, but the Tip Top Cafe in Lihue made much better pancakes. Perfect ones really. An ok place, but nothing special for sure. Not worth the drive or the money. A better breakfast find this week was the Kalapaki Beach Hut on Rice St. In Lihue. They know how to do a good breakfast at a great price!!

    Best...pancake...experience...ever! My wife and I just had 2 pancakes each- Mac nut & Choc chip for me, very berry and mac nut for her. Cakes are monstrosities- bigger than your head. Let's face it- the star of the show here is the coconut syrup- outrageously good- we drained the whole container of syrup on our way to a delightful 2,000 calorie breakfast with no meat whatsoever and water to drink. No comments on (or really any recollection of) service or anything else- pancakes were my opiate for the morning, and that's all I paid attention to. Highly recommended!

    COCONUT COAST BREAKFAST SPOT Atmosphere: The rooster theme is unique from the wallpaper to the life size stuffed roosters near the soda fountain. Lots of retro collectibles too. Limited seating so it does get full, about 30-40 people. Since KK is right on the main road you get a view of the traffic and passersby with the Pacific in the background. It makes you feel like everyone going by knows that you're in there having a good breakfast. Service: The owner, Steve, who by the way is from Hayward, CA might be the one greeting you at the front and taking your party name and count. He's a laid back dude who pretty much does everything from seating to getting you the extras you might need and even taking your dirty dishes. The servers are very nice and are helpful with the menu for the new people. They get the coffee and drinks going right away which is essential to any good breakfast joint. Just leave the lid to the cream open and they'll replace it right away, every time w/o asking. They got our orders right on both days we went. They're very good about responding to your needs for extra utensils, or a plate, etc. Food/The Goods: The selections are slightly different from a typical breakfast joint but this is Kauai, what did you expect? For example, you can get pineapple sweet bread french toast. Or macadamia nut pancakes. How about a side of extra crispy spam with your over-medium egg and rice? The first day I had the KSK garden omelette with a side of hash and a piece of cornbread. The omelette was loaded with mushrooms and bell peppers and onions that were all just the right size for my fork to get at. The hash was crispy on the outside and hot in the middle. The cornbread came out steaming, as if it was pulled right from the oven. A little butter and honey and I was in heaven. The second day I ordered the pineapple sweet bread french toast and it was amazing. Large slices of fluffy toast with a doughy pineapple flavor covered in powdered sugar. I was mopping up my plate with the last pieces just to get more syrup. This dish was even better with the coffee. Sugary sweet bites chased by warm hearty coffee. Overall: Look . . . if you're going to Kauai and plan on staying on the coconut coast (the east side) and you want a place that serves a delicious breakfast that will get you a lot for your dollar, KK is the spot. You can get some awesome food with friendly and prompt service, but you might have to wait if you show up when everyone else does. But who cares when you're on vacation in Kauai? You'll leave absolutely satisfied and stuffed (like the roosters) and you can probably skip lunch. Just watch out for the non-booth tables in the middle, they tend to wobble. Mahalo!

    Banana pancakes, macadamia nut french toast, fresh papaya, and kalua pork. Now that's a breakfast. Get here early, because it fills up fast, even on a Tuesday morning. Honestly, any one of the pancake options is a good choice because the coconut syrup makes everything awesome. But the banana pancakes in particular were terrific. And the kalua pork was a really great side because it balanced the sweetness of everything else we ordered. I wish I'd ordered two servings. The staff are friendly and efficient. They made us feel welcome, but kept everything moving.

    Ate breakfast there today. Had to wait a couple of minutes for two tables for a party of six at 8:45am on a Monday, not bad. Service was excellent as the lady who sat us kept checking our water and coffee and our waitress constantly came by our table to ask how we like things or if we needed anything. I ate the Polynesian omlette and I first ordered it without the Kim Chee, but our waitress said "aaawwwww", so I asked if the Kim Chee was spicy and she said no so I ordered it with the Kim Chee. My wife had the Mac Nut Pancake and my daughter had the keiki pancake with bacon. The pancakes were a hit with all, but the Keiki portion is waaayyy to much for a six year old who barely ate 1/3. Bacon was nice and crispy. My omlette was very good and a little bit spicy which was fine with me (included Kim Chee, Portuguese sausage, and onions). The hash browns that came with my breakfast were okay. Outer edges were just a little too crispy (making it hard to cut with a fork, and the middle was a little to soft for my taste. Portions are huge and I could not finish. Our hotel does not have a microwave, so we did not take home the left overs. I highly recommend Kountry Kitchen to locals and visitors.

    Went for breakfast (so my rating is only based on the one meal). We had to wait maybe 10 minutes for a table. Love the rooster decor. Husband said the coffee was good. We got the Idaho omelet, filled with bacon (crispy!), hash browns, onions, sour cream, and topped with tomatoes. I would go back again for this anytime i get to be back in Kauai!! The macadamia pancakes are HUGE and were tasty. Only order three if you are hungry (or want some leftovers...). Highly recommend for breakfast!!

    They are known for their pancakes which are one of the best pancakes I've ever had. Try the coconut syrup with it-super yummy! It's a reasonably priced place compared to the prices anywhere else in Kauai! The papaya was really good, they put lemon or something on it to give it a kick.

    I was looking through my bookmarks for a spot to have my birthday dinner and was surprised I didn't write a review for Kountry Kitchen when we were here. This place is the best for breakfast. We came here three days in a row. I got the sampler twice: two eggs your way, pancakes or french toast, bacon and papaya. Big plate and a lot of food. The pancakes were fluffy and when you add the coconut syrup, it's heaven. The papaya was sweet and the best way to round off your breakfast. The other day I got the eggs benedict. It was tasty but I could have used more hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were ok but I was full from my benedict that I didn't eat too much of them anyway. The service was great and the place does get packed. Come here for breakfast. They do have lunch entrees but breakfast is king here. They are open 7 days a week but only to 2pm. So plan your time wisely people.

    My husband decided to give me his take first: "Kountry kitchen, a homely southern style hop with an ocean view and a farm house decor... Waited 10 mins @ 9:30 for a table on a sat morn, very popular place with seating for about 40. Menu is extensive but do not allow substitutions or additions. Corn bread is good but a little dry - 4 out of 5. Mahi mahi was cooked well. Lacked general seasoning but still tasty. Portions were supple. Far from gourmet, its a home run of hole in the wall, greasy spoon eateries. Prices comparable to an ihop. I'd eat here again. 4 out of 5 stars for a hearty breakfast." As for me, I wasn't incredibly impressed. I ordered a Spanish Omlette (would have liked to add spinach, but it was against the rules). My "upgrade" from toast to English muffin cost an extra dollar, and the sour cream was inside the omlette, but only at one end. So I barely ate any of the sour cream since I didn't want only a huge mouthful at the end. Now, I have to admit that I am a bit of a picky eater since I am used to such establishments as Granzella's in Williams and Betty's in Lahaina. But the Kitchen did the job, and we left satisfied.

    Best breakfast we had on Kauai. Luau omelette and KK omelette were both delicious. We had the banana - mac nut pancakes, which were huge and had generous amount of nuts. Good service. Recommended.

  • Bob C.

    THIS is *THE* place for breakfast on the "North Shore", it's worth the drive south if you're staying north in a resort/condo, etc. The pancakes are HUGE, I ordered two and left 1/3 of them behind. Next time I'll order 3 and split them with at least one other person. One pancake was Banana the other was Mac nut. The coconut syrup is the BOMB to go with these, the other syrup tasted like some HFC based cheap syrup. Big lineup but it went quickly, very popular for breakfast. Coffee was not so great either. (I don't understand, Hawaii has excellent coffee but no restaurant that I've found yet serves it...) Cons: VISA & MC only.

  • Burrito M.

    Fantastic! The food is really good and grubby...We ordered the portuguese sausage, eggs, and hash browns, mac nut pancakes, garden benedict, and kalua pork lunch plate. Everything was really good - including the service. Minus 1 star because the english muffins under the benedict and the portuguese sausage were very burned.

    BEST. BREAKFAST. RESTAURANT. EVER. We had the Coconut French Toast and the Polynesian Omelette... nothing can compare. The Coconut Syrup is addicting. Service is great. There's always a line.. but it's fairly quick and worth the wait. Cute chicken decor. I included pictures just because I love this place so much.

  • Alicia V.

    I have no idea why this place is rated so highly. Perhaps it's the pankakes which we didn't partake in. I got the Garden Benedict and my companion got the Cheesy Eggs. Both were pretty nasty. The hollandaise sauce was the worst I've ever had. We both got hash browns and those were burnt, like seriously black and tasted as such. Go to Tutus Soup Hale instead, get the French Toast (or anything on the menu), and thank me later.

  • Holly H.

    We went there two years ago and I still have these vivid memories of how good their food is. Their pancakes are wonderful as everyone describes in other reviews, but what is also terrific is the grilled mahi mahi for breakfast. Great service, great food! And we are going back to Kauai this fall - and this is already on our list of MUST DO. We also have Java Kai Coffee on our list too Their iced coffee drinks are out of this world!

  • DodiRose Z.

    Crappy service. Our party was not seated together and it took forever to get service. I thought they were ignoring our friends. Food was ok for American breakfast. The hungry man breakfast left my husband hungry. My veggie omelet was very greasy and I found meat in it. On the up side the cornbread was good especially with the coconut syrup. All in all a decent meal if you just need food but don't expect too much.

  • Max C.

    We came here for the Macadamia nut pancakes and they did not disappoint. Especially with the coconut syrup, definitely worth giving a try if you are visiting Kauai and have never tried Mac Nut Pancakes.

  • Lola Z.

    Food - polynesian omlet (portuguese sausage and kimchee) --- I had such high expectations but was flatly disappointed. Flavor was ok, but it was super heavy on the sausage and therefore, the whole thing was a grease wad. It needed a bowl of rice to soak up the lard. Unfortunately, we ordered hashbrowns to accompany it which didn't help the greasefactor. Lipitor, anyone? Don't get me wrong. I love my grease in measured quantity. The saving grace was the macadamia nut pancakes. Great texture and the nuts IN the pancakes rather than ground into the syrup was marvelous. Service - knocked down a few stars due to the sassy attitude that came from the woman (middle aged woman with big bleached blond hair with roots) who took our money. We used a coupon provided by the hotel for 10%. Yah, I know it sounds ghetto, but we're in a recession people! She looked so put off. Well, if you don't like taking coupons, don't distribute them. Guy in back of us, poor thing, had a coupon too.

    MAC NUT Pancakes! This is the place on the island to get your breakfast fare. Sure it's not a very clean place but it really gives off a sense of what's its like if you were a resident of the island. We came here for breakfast, and the MAC NUT Pancakes did me in, I was in heaven. Topped off with some coconut syrup and it'll have you craving for more. Lots of locals in here, so you know it's going to be a good place!

  • Scott V.

    I went there the next day and had their KK's Garden Omelette with rice and toast. Again, it was about 50% larger than I was expecting, but much more appropriate in size when compared to the gargantuan yet delicious macadamia nut pancakes. This time I was able to eat the whole meal, and it was very tasty, with a slight island twist in flavor over an omelette you might get elsewhere. I will definitely eat here again if I ever return to the island.

Smashed up 2 orders of Loco Moco for breakfast (yeah brah, I said it) and I still maintain a 6-pack F. I was there 4 out of 7 days, feasting (remember, I eat at Manhattan Brunch spots year-round so that is a clue on this goldmine) I will hit it like a wrecking ball.

    Checked Yelp to look for a good breakfast place. So glad we came here!! We actually came here twice for breakfast, and both times were great. We visited around 11:00am both times, and didn't have to wait long at all for a table. Service wasn't lagging at all. The food was absolutely delicious. First time here I had two eggs, hash browns, wheat toast, and spam. Hubby had the eggs benedict (and my spam), and an order of pineapple. We also added a banana pancake. It would be a little thing to most other people, but there are a lot of breakfast places that simply overcook the eggs in my taste. This place got it perfectly, and I was so pleased. Everything on my plate was yummy. Hubby said his eggs benedict and the spam were great too. The pancakes are the size of the plate. Our banana pancake was so delicious with the coconut syrup, although the pieces of banana in the pancake made it a little soggy. Second time around we ordered the same things, minus the giant pancake. Hash browns were a little greasy, but not inedible. Everything else was just as good. It's a small place, but it feels cozy. The staff was very nice. BUT half a star down for feeling like I got tricked into buying a cup of coffee. A waitress comes around to each table offering coffee. "Start you off with some coffee?" she asks. But I guess it was my fault for assuming it was complimentary like it can be at some other places. Another half star down because parking was a little difficult to figure out. Overall, still a great place and would definitely go again next time we want breakfast in that area.

    The best pancakes ever. Very friendly and warm greeting at the door. fast service. I ordered one coconut pancake. Huge. Taste great with the coconut syrup. Their batter is different and thats what makes the pancake so great. Wish we had one in Los Angeles.

  • Phx A.

    Pros: Chocolate chip pancakes were very good. Each pancake was the size of a dinner plate (each cost $3). Denver omelet had plenty of fresh veggies ($9 with hashbrowns). Cons: Iced tea tasted like it was a week old, and was too unbearable to drink even when majorly sugared down, didn't see our waitress very much, staff not all that friendly.

  • Erica R.

    My friend who has visited the island many times told me one thing--"You gotta have the Loco Moco at Kountry Kitchen!!" Well, my travel pals weren't too excited about the rice with a burger patty, fried egg and gravy on top. So, I ended up calling in and getting it to-go for the drive. Because of that, I didn't get to "experience" the diner setting and relax with a cup of coffee, so that might have downgraded the meal. First, I'm not a big white rice fan. Second, my meat patty was really dry. You can't mess up an over-easy egg, so that was good. Their gravy was a thick brown one, pretty tasty...made me wish for mashed potatoes. The showstopper was the bread! They offered toast or cornbread and oh boy...one of the best cornbreads I've had! If I ever return to the island, I will definitely make a proper visit to K. K.

  • Ryan D.

    Best breakfast I had on the island. The pancakes are huge! I am in love with the coconut syrup...I wish I could have some right now. They give you huge portions for fair prices. There service was outstanding and I wish I could go back right now. Def give the pancakes a try, they were the best. My wife got a tasty omelette as well. We have had breakfast at many different places in Kauai now, and this is by far the best. I would say its better than Eggberts, and you get more food!

  • Leigh G.

    This was one of 5 breakfasts we had on Kauai. After reading "best breakfast on the island," we headed up to Kapaa from Poipu. Encountering construction and slow traffic, and fearing that we wouldn't make it by the 1:30 cutoff time, we bailed at the Kilohana Plantation where the newly inaugurated Gaylord's served an elaborate brunch buffet (see separate review.).... 2 days later in the rain, we made it to Kapaa. K.K. really is a down-home, unfancy formica-tabled diner. We got a booth and I ordered the "Sampler Special" - eggs, bacon, half a papaya and two giant pancakes, one macadamia and one banana. The pancakes alone would have made this breakfast. The banana one was gooey with bananas, and the macadamia one was loaded with nuts, unlike the one I had had the day before at Joe's on the Green (separate review, too.) Hubby's plate was a spectacular Fiesta blue, festooned with 2 sunny-side-ups, a pork chop, and hash browns that were like a giant latke! (ditto Kalaheo Coffee Co. - another review.) His also came with a side of fruit salad, that I would've liked cradled inside my papaya. Overall the food was colorful, reasonably priced, tasty, and BIG. Good service, too.

    You see the reviews, and the game fact that they only for few hrs every morning and you are sold of course! This place serves massive portions, a lot of food and fabulous taste! The ambiance and service is a 3 star, but when you are in Hawaii on vacation you care the most about the overall experience and that's pretty awesome here!

  • Ben D.

    Kids favorite pancake ever. Kountry has become kinda pricey for what you get, but having not been in there in 2 years to have our server remember us? Too sweet, hard to out a price in that. Keiki Special is a huge pancake, two strips bacon, POG or guava for $5.95. Pretty good for Kauai. Everything on the menu is good. Always a line but they move people through and you've got the great sandal place and a beach across the street to spend your time if the line is long.

    I arrived on a Sunday at 6:20 (11:20 Central time so do not be impressed) & was the first & only customer till after 7. The $12 moco loco ingredients were all good & the combo was surprisingly tasty. I am glad I tried it. However... eggs, gravy, rice & hamburger patty says under $9 to me. Oh well, I was on vacation & had an experience.

    My husband and I ate here this morning before going kayaking. We showed up promptly at 6AM while they were opening the doors, along with a few other patrons. The restaurant has a very homey feel to it and the service was great. We both ordered omelets and they were stuffed with tons of bacon and sausage. Reasonable prices. We would definitely come back!

    (5)

  • Madisyn S.

    Wow! My fiancée and I arrived on Kauai at 6 am and we were starving, We looked up breakfast places on Yelp and Kountry Kitchen seemed pretty well rated. So, after picking up our rental we headed out for some much needed sustenance. We got to the restaurant, virtually no parking up front (we were there early and got a spot) but there were signs for additional parking. We were seated quickly and given a choice of where we wanted to sit. Coffee came quickly and so did our food. I ordered eggs benedict and my fiancée ordered the Denver omelet. The food was out of this world!! I have lived in Hawaii on Oahu for 2 years and haven't been able to find a decent eggs benny. Love love love! Thick cut breakfast ham, unlike some places I have been that haves used deli sandwich meat, and the English muffin was toasted so that it didn't get soggy under the hollandaise sauce. I am not a big egg person but my fiancée loved his omelet, in fact he had one the next day at a different place and was disappointed, he said we should have just gone back here. I was also really impressed with their tea selection. Too many diners focus on the coffee and tea is such an after thought that all they offer is bland lipton black tea and generic green tea, blegh. Kountry Kitchen has a nice selection of Tazo teas. The English Breakfast tea put my meal over the top. The only star I took away was for service. It wasn't bad so to speak. There were a lot of servers milling about and there weren't too many customers so I would have expected more attentive service. We were seated and offered coffee. When I said no to coffee they poured some for my fiancée and disappeared. Not asking if I'd like anything else to drink or even offered water. We were not introduced to any server and weren't waited on by any one in particular. It seemed sort of like if you're not a regular then they don't really want to waste any time talking to you or making your experience anything special. However, in my book if the service isn't terrible then the food is what's really important. So I would definitely go back!

    After several days of eating upscale hotel food my friends and I were looking for a badass place to go for breakfast today. We choose the Kountry Kitchen based upon several recommendations. We weren't disappointed! Great comfort food at an affordable price ... will be back for sure when visiting Kauai!

  • Orchid T.

    There are no substitutions allowed to the menu items - no exceptions, which for a family owned establishment seemed unfriendly. A single pancake on the side is $6.50, which seemed a bit steep to me. That aside, the breakfast I ended up getting (with no substitutions and no side of pancakes) was generous in proportions at a decent price. Next time, I'll probably go somewhere with fewer rules and where the vibe is a little more "family".

  • Angela X.

    Do they serve portions bigger than these anywhere else in America? Oh dear God, I wish they had sized them down a bit so I could have tried more of the menu. My boyfriend and I ate breakfast here twice during our week-long vacation and basically skipped lunch both days. Picture the scene: pancakes the size of hubcaps and speckled with macadamia nuts, sagging under liberal douses of coconut syrup. Fresh corn bread crumbling apart at the merest provocation, wafting forth fragrant puffs of steam as I cover it with guava jam. Across the table, my boyfriend surveys a savory landscape of Kalua pork, hash browns, and Portuguese sausage--a view that inspires the same kind of awe as the Na'Pali Coast. This is the kind of thing that will linger with you after your Kauai trip, right up there with your memories of snorkeling with sea turtles and hiking to remote waterfalls. P.S. The chicken art they have on the walls is adorable! I wish I could decorate my kitchen like theirs.

  • Chelsea K.

    Went here for breakfast it took about 15 min to get a table for 6 which we were told would be 45 min. Everyone at the table loved their food. I had mahi mahi and eggs; never had fish for breakfast and I must say it was amazing! Super fresh! Staff was very nice. The wait for food once we got our food was a little long but I would say if you are in the area and have some time to give it a try

  • Ann S.

    This is like the local version of Denny's. So if you go in expecting that kind of fare and taste, you'll be good to go. I had their pancakes (1 banana and 1 chocolate chip) and they were awesome. Hubby had the burger and said it was average, not bad but not the best he's had. There were a LOT of flies in there and everything felt a little sticky. It's one of those places you might not want to look too close at your surroundings but we were so hungry at the time we didn't care.

    Excellent breakfast and coffee :) their corn bread is yumm with honey. Also the fish was so fresh I could smell the ocean on it. So glad we picked this place instead of Gaylords on the plantation.

    It's so good that we ended up eating here twice in our four day stay on the island. There are lots of options to choose from: omelets, pancakes, etc. The best part, and what set's Kountry Kitchen apart is that there's loads of vegetarian friendly options. The veggie omelet and mediterranean omelets were excellent and filling. Is it the best breakfast on the island: YES.

    (4)

  • Christina P.

    We had such a great breakfast here! We have eaten here a couple other times throughout the years as well. My husband and I both had the eggs with Portuguese sausage and hash browns. One of the great things about the islands is the availability of Portuguese sausages. Kountry Kitchen uses Redondo brand which we found at a local store and packed some to take home with us. They are delicious! This is a great breakfast with lots of delicious choices.

  • Eddie R.

    ...got here just as it opened. Coffee was fine...service and food was good. Got the "Denver Omelette" with hash browns+toast with a side of bacon and coffee....price was the same compared to the rest of the island. Get over it...everything is a little more expensive here... I would come back for breakfast again.

  • Lisa A.

    We went here for our last breakfast in Kauai, before heading to the airport. We went at about 7am so it wasn't crowded, but as we were eating the restaurant started filling up fast. The place is pretty small and the decor is kind of shabby but the service was good and our food was delicious! I had the Luau omelet which had kalua pork that was sooo delicious! It was a pretty big omelet and also had spinach, onions, and cheddar cheese which was a great combination. The hash browns were nice and crunchy and I had to have my boyfriend help me finish eating all of it. My boyfriend had the coconut sweet bread french toast which he said was a little too sweet but I think he liked it judging by the fact that he devoured it in about 2 minutes. Definitely would recommend this place for a good Hawaiian breakfast if you're close to Kapaa.

  • Nali M.

    honestly, i really don't care to eat out for breakfast; it's pretty easy to make and i'm really picky with my eggs & portuguese sausage. kountry kitchen makes my eggs exactly the way i like them. i really like the breakfast here. so much, that i'll even drive from kalaheo on the west side of kauai just to go eat there! my husbands favorite is the eggs benedict and loco moco. if you're going on a sunday, especially after church, be prepared to wait!!

    If you are heading to Kountry Kitchen in Kauai you HAVE to try the Macadamia Nut & Banana Pancakes. They were seriously one of the best pancakes I've ever had. One pancake is definitely enough for one person, they are literally the size of a large plate. We also got the Sweet Bread French Toast with Coconut. It was good, but the first one that came out was cold. They fixed it though and brought out a new one when we let our waitress know. Corned Beef Hash w/ Hash Browns was okay. I liked the Hash Browns more than anything else. Overall it's a nice little place to get breakfast on Kauai.

  • Emi I.

    We went to Kountry Kitchen twice and were more than satisfied both times. Friendly service and we even got fist bumps from the owner on the way out the second time :) Reviews about the corn bread are for real-- order it and slather it with butter and the honey on the table. Also, the crazy chicken decor is fun eye-candy as you wait for your food to come. While we didn't order the pancakes because they are bigger than your head, they looked pretty amazing; perhaps just eat them after going to the beach...

    We ordered the Macadamia Nut pancake and it was HUGE, fluffy, delicious and FULL of nut chunks - ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! Served with coconut syrup and we ordered Portuguese sausages too. Wow - that was a lot, as the pancake has its own plate - HUGE!!! We also ordered the LocoMoco, but I asked for scrambled egg, LIGHT gravy and cornbread. The order was not as asked, but the waitress made it right and it was wonderful!! The cornbread is tasty - and such a nice addition to the LocoMoco! Both were so tasty and we will be glad to go back!

    Fantastic breakfast spot. But stick with their specialty - pancakes! They're as big as your face. Seriously. I ordered 2 coconut and had enough left over for another 1.5 meals. Yummy! Service was nothing to rave about, but the food came out pretty fast and our waitress made sure to keep our coffee and water glasses full. No one was particularity friendly, but in their defense, we went at a very early hour. Love the eclectic mix of decorations - it made the space feel very homey.

    Thank you, Yelpers! We found this with the reviews and decided to try this place out. My husband and I really like our breakfast and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the fried rice omelette (picture posted) and it was very tasty. If you like fried rice, you should try this. However, this is only offered on a certain day.

  • Leigh N.

    Before a day of exploring the island we stopped at the Kountry Ktichen for a delicious and filling brekkie. Crowded but not too crowded at 9am on a Sunday, we added our name to the list and waited only about 10 minutes for a table. Coffee was strong and hot with refills aplenty. Lots of choices on the menu...we went with one chocolate chip pancake topped with strawberries and whipped cream and the Idaho omlette. Pancake was literally the size of a manhole cover! Fluffy, delicious and filled with chocolate chips...the only thing that could have made it better was if they used fresh strawberries instead of frozen. The Idaho omlette--filled with potatoes, bacon and sour cream was perfection. Possibly the best, most craveable omlette I've ever had. Staff was friendly and service was good. Just one small hiccup, despite asking twice, our server forgot to bring us the cornbread that was supposed to come with our omlette. When she finally remembered, we were getting ready to leave but she was thoughtful enough to pack it to go so we could take it with us for a snack during our adventures. Awesome :)

  • Ken L.

    Kountry Kitchen (KK) is guilty of applying their EIEIO principles to the customer. EIEIO is not what Old McDonald had in mind when he was tending to his farm, it stands for Evil Implementation of Extra Inflation due to Overhead. Case in point: If you ask for a substitution of rice instead of hash browns or if you like extra onions they will gouge you secretly on your check. I got my bill and they added on $4 dollars for a rice substitution and $3 for a small quantity of extra onions. WTF?! No problems though as I got them corrected (twice I might add on two separate visits). To avoid EIEIO, KK needs to either: 1) Disclose the additional costs of the substitution of said items on their menu or, 2) Announce the extra costs when the items are requested during the order taking process. Back to the breakfast review. Large breakfast portions that satisfies the belly. Eggs cooked exactly how I like them and also delicious fried rice side item that you can get with the eggs (extra costs per EIEIO). Overall, I recommend for a breakfast spot to start the day with a nice, hardy meal at a reasonable price. Just be careful if you do a change to their standard combos. Buyer beware.

    I heard about this place on Yelp, when looking for great beakfast spots. After hearing they have macadamia pancakes with coconut syrup, I was determined to try some breakfast here! I ordered the egg sampler of scrambled eggs, (good as eggs go) hash browns (very crispy) portuguese sausage (good, but maybe a bit too sweet) bacon, (mmm...) some pineapple juice (tiny glass went a long way) and shared one macadamia nut pancake. That pancake is HUGE! And not just in size, but thickness. Large trails of nuts line the pancake. It would be hard to eat the whole thing. I also tried the cornbread, which was pretty good. I also tasted my date's Kalua pig omelette, which was cheesy and delicious. The breakfast was large, hearty, and very tasty. The service was ok... not super friendly, but not rude either. The seating is very.... country, hence the name. Hard wood booths, and rooster decorations all over the walls. Kitchy, I suppose. A great place to get some tradional american breakfast fare with a hawaiian twist. Give it a try! *NOTE* When I went there was a handwritten sign that they were accepting cash only, so be prepared with cash just in case they are not accepting credit cards that day.

    On the way up to the North Shore, we decided to stop in Kapaa for breakfast. Thanks to Yelp, we found the Kountry Kitchen. There was a 15 minute wait, but we took that as a good sign and patiently waited our turn. I ordered the Kalua pork omelet. It was outstanding! My wife ordered the coconut french toast, which was also delicious. The coffee was also good and bottomless (some reviews said otherwise). Overall, a great breakfast spot on Kauai!

    I read on Yelp that this is the breakfast spot. Thus, it went on my must-eat list. This place is easy to spot. It's along the highway and you'll see signs directing you to parking. We went inside and saw a nearly full house. Thanks goodness we came early. We had the: LOCO MOCO ($8) - 4 stars 2 scoops of rice, eggs any style, burger patty and gravy with a choice of wheat, white toast or corn bread. Eggs were over easy and corn bread was chosen. It looks like a big messy blob, but it was good. The gooey egg added extra richness to the burger patty and the gravy added flavor and saltiness, while the rice balanced everything. 1 MACADAMIA NUT PANCAKE ($4.75) - 4.5 stars Yes, I ordered just one. The pancakes are huge! About 9 inch in diameter. I also add strawberries to my order. The pancake was fluffy inside and toasty outside, not too denser or light. Service was good and prompt. The locals and vacationers were friendly and would strike up a conversation with others. This place is not tourist filled and is a good bang for your buck. Yeay! For this Yelp rec.

    This place is really cute! The pancakes are out of this world and the coconut syrup is delicious. Very friendly and attentive waitstaff. Don't leave the area without having breakfast here at least once!

    Great place. Eat here every year with the family. Loco Mocos and Kiluha pig are always perfect.

    This place was packed when we arrived around 9AM so get there early if you are hungry! French toast was really tasty (definitely try to coconut syrup) and the corn muffins were on the huge side. It had a diner feel to it.

    Slooow service get's them a 4 instead of a 5. 15 min wait with 4 tables open/cleared/cleaned. Person at register waiting tables and taking payments - need to one or the other, but not both! Food is great (hard to mess up breakfast too bad), pancakes are ~10 inches. Banana pancakes with coconut syrup - yummy.

  • Jimmy N.

    Pancakes as big as your face! Seriously! These are the BEST mac nut pancakes I have EVER had, ANYWHERE, by far. The amount of mac nuts in these is just ridiculous. They cook them into the pancakes, which are the size of their enormous plates, then they sprinkle more crushed mac nuts on top of them. If you have a mac nut allergy or have some aversion to mac nuts, do not order this, as you will most certainly perish. You will LOVE this if you're a mac nut fan like me. The coconut syrup is definitely the way to go, it was the perfect match for these pancakes, and i'm not even normally a fan of coconut. Not ridiculously over-the-top sweet, just enough to compliment the pancakes. My wife had the kalua pork omelette. It was like having a roast pork (lechon) omelette. Crispy pork, cheese, and spinach wrapped in a massive omelette. It was super onolicious. The only regret my wife had was that she should've ordered rice instead of the hash browns, as rice would've probably been a better match for the savory pork. Service was friendly, coffee refills were promptly given, and we were seated pretty quickly considering that the place was packed, although there were only 2 of us. We will most definitely return the next time we return to Kapaa!

  • Jaime A.

    Pancakes are huge! Nice crisp edges, the Mac nut banana with coconut syrup makes me happy! Other items on the menu have also been really good, great place for breakfast, only tips are to get here and expect to wait its small and parking is limited. Be careful crossing the street! Try a bonbon expresso from the coffee shop next door while you wait!

  • Sarah L.

    Went here twice on our trip to Kauai. My fiance and I each shared our dish, so we both ended up trying four dishes in all: serving sizes were large, food was filling, all plates were tasty. The service here was great and the waitstaff appeared to really care about the customers. Best of all was their fresh fruit juice - I think I could've had it for every meal.

  • Claire J.

    Don't follow Yelp directions or you'll miss this place. I wanted to go to this place because I love banana macadamia pancake with coconut syrup. So we got here, there was a wait. They don't really have a sign-in sheet that you can write yourself in. The person in charge infront was also the cashier and server, but we didn't wait that long to put our name on her list. After about a 10-minute wait, we got seated. I got the sampler and of course got a macadamia pancake with bananas for an extra charge. Hubby got the pork chop. The pancake was huge, but not as big as the plate when ordering it by itself. It was yummy with the coconut syrup. I even took it home to enjoy it more. Papaya was yummmm. As for hubby's pork chop, it was mediocre. It actually tasted bland. Hashbrowns were good though, crunchy on the outside, soft in the inside. Place is pretty small. Bathroom is clean. Service was quick, not warm, but not rude. Ahhh I love breakfast.

    Best breakfast all week. They have island favorites and mainland food too.

  • Vivian J.

    MACADAMIA NUT PANCAKES!!! They were HUGE and the size of my plate!! They were super fluffy, with tons of macadamia nuts and when you add the coconut syrup it has now become a dessert! So heavenly good! I could only eat half of them and it nearly did me in. The bacon was also super good that we got as well. The menu is huge with tons of options and they serve breakfast until 1:00 PM every day. They also had banana pancakes as well. Prices were very reasonable and they had tons of locals eating there. Parking can be on the street or past the place on the right. Great service and who knows we may have to come back before we leave.

  • Ross W.

    Mediterranean Omelet which came with toast and papaya was good. Hubby had Chili Omelet with hash brown and corn bread. Food was good, and the décor was very quaint, but I wouldn't make a point of coming back here.

  • Toan aka T.

    Great breakfast food! We will probably be back again before we leave Kauai. AMBIANCE: Has a Kountry feel to it. Small but lovely booth seating restaurant. SERVICE: People are great. The wait isn't too long. Everyone is super nice. PRICE: Average for a breakfast location. Reasonable. FOOD ITEMS: - Kalua Pork is off the chain. It has a crispy finish to it which goes perfectly with the hash browns. - We liked the banana pancakes over the Macadamia Nut Pancakes because it wasn't as filling. We chose the 3 pancake sampler to try two different ones but should have gone with just 2 pancakes. The pancakes are HUGE. About a foot in diameter. Definitely try the white coconut pancake syrup. It's not too sweet and goes well with their pancakes. - The coffee was very good and refills were consistent and great. Highly recommended...

  • Scott D.

    Disappointing meal. It is almost as if we didn't eat at the same place as these other reviews. Pork chop was dry. Hamburger steak was tiny. Banana pancake was good. Cashier (may have been owner) was not happy we used a credit card. Overpriced for low quality meal.

  • John H.

    Went here with the wife for some breakfast on a busy Sunday morning. Waitresses were running all over the place (there were only two) and orders kept on getting mixed up. Seriously, get some more staff. I had the Sampler with french toast, got to my table luke warm. The wife had an omelet which she said was delicious. So, if you go, get an omelet. I bet this place could have been better, but when I went it was not so great, hence the low rating.

    (2)

  • Sarah S.

    I'd go back in a heartbeat! Good, large, reasonably priced breakfast in a really cute restaurant with genuinely nice servers and host -- what's not to love! We had a five-minute wait and then enjoyed some massive farmer's breakfast platter (can't remember the exact name). We each got a half of a papaya which was delicious (and this is coming from someone who dislikes papayas!). We also got a couple scrambled eggs and bacon. The bacon could have cooked a little longer but eggs were good. I opted for the french toast which was good with the coconut syrup. My husband got the plain pancake which was also good and, as everyone else wrote, very big.

    (4)

  • Spunky H.

    Delicious and friendly with plenty of choices. The pancakes are huge - about 10 inches across so one pancake was plenty. The macadamia pancakes have lots of chopped nuts in every bite. We ate breakfast here 3 times this week and everything was yummy! I highly recommend Kountry Kitchen!

    (5)

  • Megan T.

    By far the best breakfast on the island. My husband and I just got back from Kauai and after finding Kountry Kitchen we came back for breakfast three more mornings. I ordered the Cheesy eggs (english muffin open faced with a poached egg, couple slices of bacon on top then smothered with zesty cheese) OMG!! so delicious. I also could not keep my hands off of my husbands macadamia nut pancake. They are huge so only order one! I was not a fan of the coconut syrup, butmy husabdn loved it and he even bought some to bring home. Bottom line... if you are on Kauai eat here!

    Bad diner food. Period. Have all these Yelpers grown up on even crappier diner food, or what?

    (1)

  • Melaina E.

    Meh. I got the Loco Moco, which was pretty good and a very large quantity of food. My fiance got the steak and eggs. That was okay, too, but pretty average. His toast came with guava jam, but my cornbread (which was a bit undercooked) just came with concord grape jam you'd get in any diner in continental America. I put their coconut syrup on the cornbread instead, but their syrup was super thick and way too sweet for my tastes. The next day, we went back to Ono Family Restaurant for their banana pancakes with coconut syrup, which was totally the bomb!

  • Kari S.

    Okay...so they seriously nickel and dime you here! I had the sampler - eggs, bacon, pineapple and pancakes. My DH had the banana pancakes and omlette with bacon and sausage. The coconut pancakes had so much coconut that there was hardly any pancake batter, and the banana ones had some bad bananas in them. The omlette bar does have a lot of options, but very expensive to make your own. Not enough egg - so much meat that it you are eating spoonfuls of meat but not much egg. The hashbrowns were meh. The cornbread was decent. Yes, you do get a lot of food, but getting a lot of food doesn't make up for quality. We really liked Eggbert's a lot better!

  • Dan A.

    Good food and the service was super quick. It was a big amount of food for a great value. If you come here bring your appetite, and if you come at sunrise, just across the street there is a beautiful view!!

  • Whitney S.

    The waiter here was so rude and ALONE - we waited for 30 minutes for a table and I guess that's why. The hostess was very nice to us, but I noticed that she was super rude to some other more touristy looking folks. The food is mediocre, expensive and OMG I was sick ALL DAY. I ordered the luau omelette - it tasted great...going down! The pancakes were great, I wish I had steered clear of that kalua pig omelette! Also I think we spent over $60 on breakfast. Oh well, at least the bathroom was clean!!

  • Jeff S.

    Outstanding breakfast! The pancakes are huge and delicious. We ordered eggs with hash browns and toast (excellent) and a side order of two banana-mac pancakes - too much food but delicious.

  • Bonnie F.

    I hesitate to even write a review as it will make the wait longer the next time I go there. I adore breakfast. I have high standards for breakfast. I don't take breakfast lightly. Kountry Kitchen is the standard that all other breakfasts will now be judged on. Simply put the best pancakes you will ever eat. The coffee is so good you can drink it black. The service is friendly and efficient. The prices are more than fair. I've tried many things on the menu. I can highly recommend the Luau omelet (it is rich though), anything with Portuguese sausage, and any pancakes although banana chocolate chip are my favorites. I usually get the cornbread instead of toast and share with the rest of my family. My kids adore this place and are willing to wait 30 minutes with no complaints. In fact, they will insist on it.

  • Lori O.

    We went here and my daughter ordered soup...and she saw them pour a can of Campbell's in a pot to serve. Totally disappointed in this place and the waitresses seemed really bored. We read all of the reviews so we drove across the island to get here, but it was really just a weird restaurant we could have skipped.

    (2)

  • Marisa P.

    I don't really understand what the big deal is about this place. Yes, the plates are huge. But the food is just mediocre: my fish was overcooked, and everyone who had the loco moco ended up with stomach problems afterwards. It's fine, but I wouldn't wait in line.

    (2)

  • Jason S.

    I really like breakfast and just had to eat here based on the rave reviews while staying nearby. The wife had a single Mac nut pancake with coconut syrup (she doesn't like Mac nuts or coconut), and we both thought it was amazing! I had the Kalua Moco Loco with my eggs poached. It was also good, but I thought the way they pan fry the pork made it a bit too hard and dry....I think it would be better if they skipped this, but it was still good. The corn bread was also a good choice over the toast. As many others commented the service was blah...we didn't get to Ono's down the street so I can't compare. Overall it was good food and I would likely go again if staying on the coconut coast.

  • Bob W.

    Pretty damned fine breakfast. We didn't make it here until 11:30 am but needed breakfast and not lunch. My bride ordered an mushroom and Cheddar cheese omelet. I had the sampler. 2 pancakes,bacon,2 eggs,and 1/2 a papaya. The only bad thing I can say is the eggs were cooked medium hard, not over medium as ordered. The flavor was fantastic, and very yummy. The portuguese sausage is really worth a try, so don't miss it! Large servings, and arrived fast. I like a place that has corned beef hash, and Spam on the side orders! Parking was easy, honestly friendly service, and we saw our waitress when shopping next door after breakfast, and she stopped and talked to us like an old friend would do. I felt right at home, not like a tourist

  • Bruce A.

    Went to Kountry Kitchen for breakfast this past weekend. The place was really busy, but we only had a 30 minute wait. The waitresses were very nice. The special that day was fried rice omelette. The fried rice was pretty good, although I would have had slightly bigger pieces of meat as their competition has. The pancakes were huge so if you order more than 2, be prepared. My girlfriend and her 2 year old liked the food so it rates well with me.

    (4)

  • RC B.

    Good food but a big wait....The local favorite Portuguese sausage, kimchee and onion omelette was done well, coffee was just okay and the service was friendly but not very attentive. Finding decent local eateries in Kapaa can be a bit of a challenge so check with a local. Also ate at Ono and I would put both on a par, with a shorter wait at Ono.

  • Brittany F.

    Mmmmmmm! Last day on the island and this was the spot for breakfast. I had the garden omelette with portugese sasuage! It was sooooo good and sooo much food! Totally worth the price. A definite must do!

    Another awesome breakfast! I feasted on macadamia pancakes, cornbread, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, half a papaya and I ate it all!!! Luckily cuz I almost died hiking the napali coast :) What a perfect breakfast before a hike or take a siesta cuz the portions are huge! And Most Importantly Delicious! Doesn't matter how much you get if it's not good.

  • Lori G.

    We were seated quickly and the service was great. The food was excellent. I had the Idaho omelet with hash browns then ordered a macadamia nut pancake to share with my husband. The omelet was perfect and so big, I couldn't finish it. The pancake was good but had way too many nuts. My husband had the Loco Moco and loved it!

    Visiting Kauai with the family and found this breakfast place after seeing lots of good reviews on Yelp. Definitely did not dissappoint. Omelets and pancakes were all really amazing, I'd recommend the Idaho omelet or the luau omelet with kalua pig. Super good! Really big portions as well. Service was great and it had really laid back atmosphere, great for a late breakfast. Love that breakfast is served all day too! My only complaint is that its a little on the expensive side for breakfast. Overall, a great local style restaurant with very tasty food. Will be back on my next visit to Kauai!

  • Diana H.

    The theme for our trip seems to be chickens. There are chickens freakin' everywhere! Kountry Kitchen fits right in. Chicken theme all over inside. They have good food, too. It's a combination of standard white food and island fare. One person can get loco moco, someone else can get eggs benedict. Small, friendly. They mixed up POG for my kids when they asked for it. There's some of that coconut syrup on the table that's probably 200% fat (wait, we're on vacation so it doesn't count, right?).

    I ate here 3 x while on vacation in Kauai and I was staying in Kapa'a. Had their "flavored" pan cakes. I finished one banana pancake (bananas mixed into the pancake mix) and barely could eat the strawberry one (more of a dessert). This is some serious pancakes - good and huge! The french toast (sweet bread) was also good. Now their loco moco- is mouth watering good! Customer service is cool and parking is very easy. Prices are low, u can feed 2 people under 20 bucks here (breakfast/lunch or dinner). On the decor - they do honor the wild chickens...to the extreme, kinda cute though. FYI, weekend mornings are pretty busy!!!

  • Ben F.

    You know i haven't been here in years, and i mean YEARS, and yet whenever i think about breakfast one of the restaurants that pops up in my head is kountry kitchen and that just goes to show you just how meaningful this place is. It's not a big restaurant but what it lacks in square feet it makes up for with great food. If you're in Kapaa, or on Kauai for that matter, there's no place like Kountry Kitchen to enjoy a hardy meal. Just remember to go in early!

  • Frances C.

    This is a great place for Breakfast/Brunch in Kauai. Located on Kuhio Hwy 56 north of Lihue in Kapaa, it's situated near the town shopping center. Expect to spend about $8-$10 per person. We had the french toast and pancakes. The pancakes were wonderful and huge, the size of a large plate! and you get to choose a variety of flavors per pancake, from chocolate chip, macadamia nut, and banana. I got the mac nut and chocolate chip pancakes (note that these pancakes are really big and if you order more than one you may have to share or you won't finish) and drizzled coconut syrup on there...delicious! This place was so good we went back there for breakfast on two separate days in the same week!

    Breakfast was fine but not spectacular. Service was a bit slow. They have a large selection of omelets. I had the Local Boy omelet. The place is clearly a local hangout; there appeared to be a lot of locals here.

  • Erin K.

    This was a good and pretty inexpensive breakfast spot. The restaurant isn't very big and by the time we left there was a decent sized group waiting for tables. (we got there around 8:15) We tried the Loco Moco for the first time and it was delicious! Also tried the sweet bread french toast, macadamia nut pancakes, and the luau omelet which was my favorite. Overall great little breakfast spot and we were in and out of there pretty fast. Definitely would recommend.

    (3)

  • Mitchell P.

    Eh. The Service was great, nice people, and the food was hearty, but the food was nothing great. I thought the pancakes we're dry, even after all the butter and syrup. The chili omelete sounded good, but I don't dig canned chili at all. I don't care for canned corned beef hash either or hard hash browns. Maybe it was just a bad first experience, but I didn't see what all the hype was about. So two stars for me. One for the service and One for the portion size and price.

    (2)

  • Ly Y.

    The place is the bomb! You have to love a place that only has to open for breakfast and lunch. The portions are large the wait is long! The Kountry pancakes were light and fluffy the way I love my pancakes. Skip the toast and go for the cornbread! I will definitely be back again!

    (4)

  • Kathy T.

    Ono-licious! Huge portions! My daughter and I ate there twice it was so good. We had the bacon-avocado omelette and the macadamia nut pancakes. She says the omelette was the best thing she ate on Kauai. Hash browns are great too. The pancake was so huge we couldn't finish it. It was good, although we liked the tropical pancakes at Ono's Family Restaurant better (lighter and fluffier). But Kountry Kitchen was our culinary highlight on Kauai!

    (5)

  • Michael S.

    The Luau Omelette was delicious, as was the cornbread. But the hashbrowns were way too salty; would stick with the rice next time. Also, as far as kids' breakfasts go, I was worried the one pancake wouldn't be enough for my little girl when we ordered, but the pancake was bigger than her head! She barely ate half of it.

    (3)

  • Ahonui B.

    Ugh! I'm not sure WHAT people are thinking about this place. It's one of those places, I think, that locals are supposed to like, so everyone does. I've gotten to the point where I don't think I can even stomach my way through another meal here, even if someone else pays. I got the benedict, or a few different ones, the first few times. I always specify that I want my eggs RUNNY, and they are always cooked through like hard-boiled and rubbery. The plate is also too hot to touch and the hollandaise sauce looks like it's been nuked. In other words, it's definitely been sitting on a plate warmer for at least 5 minutes. And they try to make up different combos that just don't work. One benedict has spinach and tomatoes & olives...sounds good but the flavors definitely don't work. I voiced my complaints to people who rave about the place and they insisted that it's the pancakes that are to die for. That's the reason to go there. Ok. Um...if the only good thing you have on your menu are the pancakes, why not just serve pancakes? I did go back and try the pancakes. I know how to work Bisquick. I can make pancakes just like theirs. Without the wait. Or the expense.

    I guess i should have had the mac nut pancakes! We had quite an assortment of breakfast dishes and they we just fine. I had a side of kalua pork, I thought it wasnt bad, but I've had really great Kpig so i cant drool over this one. My husband got the kalua pork plate which was mixed with onions and spinach he said it was good enough to go back for. Someone got a grilled cheese ( go figure) and it was just ok. Pork chop was simple and ok, i was told by someone there the eggs were ok but they had been hoping, since it was a breakfast place the eggs would have been really super. Service was good,fast paced, place was clean especially considering how packed it was on a monday late morning. The folks working the place seemed happy and capable and appreciative of the business. We would go back.

    The Kountry Kitchen is AWESOME!! My husband and I went to Kauai for our honeymoon, and we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. In the course of a week, we had breakfast here 3 times, making the 30 minute drive down from Princeville. In our three meals there, we tried the pork-fried rice omelet, Polynesian omelet (with Portuguese sausage and kim-chee), chili omelet, cheesey eggs (the best eggs benedict you can imagine) and sweetbread french toast (with coconut syrup, yum!). ALL were amazing and we could not get enough! If you're going to be in Kauai anytime soon, you MUST check out the Kountry Kitchen, it won't disappoint!

    GO HERE FOR BREAKFAST! So tasty. French toast was BOMB. Everything we had was awesome. Will definitely come back for sure. There was a 15 minute wait or so but totally worth it. I think we got there around 9..or 9:30 am.

  • Amber F.

    My husband and I went to Kauai for our delayed honeymoon, and we bought the book "Kauai Uncovered" or something like that. It listed restaurants by sides of the island. We were staying in Princeville, on the East side. This restaurant was listed in the book under breakfast. I'm a breakfast fan, I will eat hash browns and pancakes every day for the rest of my life, I love them so. We decided to try Kountry Kitchen as it was on our way into town anyway. This place is so good, we ended up coming back three times. Every time I got pancakes but the mister got everything from loco moco to the various egg dishes. All of them with many kinds of meats. The first pancakes I tried here was a triple stack of chocolate chip, banana and regular pancakes. The banana one was to die for, as were the other two. Still, my heart craved bananas, and I got them every time we visited. The food was hot, fresh and arrived to our table fast. Maybe it depends on when you come, because we had no issues getting our food on time. We did have to wait for a table in the crazy humidity (we went in July) for about ten minutes, but in that time we strolled around to look at the stores nearby. I have since referred many different friends here and everyone talks about how much they love the food!

  • Jackie O.

    Nothing special really but good, filling breakfast at a reasonable price. The pancake is good but gigantic so share it with someone. If you're not into eating sweet things for breakfast, have someone else order it so you can try a few bites. The breakfast sandwich was exactly what I needed: standard home cooked food.

  • Rocky R.

    visit: Sunday 9/26/10 ~9am Good selection of American style breakfast. Pancakes seemed to be very popular but I couldn't resist trying the coconut sweetbread french toast with a side of bacon-- I wasn't disappointed. I took one star because: -they only stopped to refill my coffee once -they left the check when they brought the food and ignored us afterward

  • Crystal K.

    First breakfast on Kauai, and it was amazing! My husband and I shared 2 pancakes: macadamia nut and a banana. We doused them in coconut syrup, and washed them down with guava juice...we had to be rolled out. Oh my gosh, delicious. Only downside, we waited for an hour to get in. But seriously, worth the wait.

    My wife and I came here twice on our week in Kauai. Both times, we were blown away. I recommend the loco moco with kalua pig. Guys- this is eggs, pork, and gravy. You can't beat it. My wife loved the macadamia nut pancakes (which she could barely finish) and gushed over the eggs Benedict. Also, the coffee is strong and they never let your cup sit empty. Best breakfast I had on the islands. If you're in Kauai, go there. It's amazing. Get there early, as it packs up and it's a small place.

    Food is excellent. But you get "stink-eye" from the folks working there if you don't get up and out as soon as you take your last bite. I love living on Kauai!

    Kountry Kitchen is the BEST food that we ate on the island. My husband and two friends only vacationed in Kauai for four days. We ate here on day 3 and wish we had come here earlier! We first had breakfast here and they serve BIG portions! You can share breakfast with at least one other person, maybe even two. I had the Luau omelet (Kalua pig with onions and spinach). It was SO delicious, my mouth is salivating as I'm thinking about it. The Kalua pig was the MOISTEST, JUICIEST, Kalua pig I've ever had. I think I ate half a pig, but I couldn't stop from eating it. The way they prepare it is just....awesome. They take a handful (okay, like 4 handfuls or 1 giant hand) of the stuff and make it nice and crispy on the outside, I guess like a hashbrown would be. Crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. Okay enough dreaming about my Luau omelet. Other orders around the table were the sweet bread french toast, coconut sweet bread french toast (which just added fresh shredded coconut on top of the regular sweet bread french toast), and an Idaho omelet. Both french toasts with coconut syrup were delicious. The Idaho omelet was bigger than my Luau omelet and our male friend couldn't even finish it. We also ate lunch here on the last day of of our trip. Orders included the Kalua pig plate, chicken sandwich, and the BBQ pork sandwich. Everything was EXCELLENT. My friend who got the chicken said it was one of the most juiciest chicken she's ever eaten (how could it not be? The chicken in Kauai has to be so fresh). Come here prepared to eat and be satisfied. Oh yeah, parking is on the side, next to Coconut Coast gift shop. When you park there, go to Kountry Kitchen right away. DON'T park there and even pop into another shop for 5 minutes while waiting. Whoever runs the coconut shop watches the parking lot like a hawk and if you're not visiting the gift shop or Kountry Kitchen, they will make you move your vehicle or have it towed, even if you are going to Kountry Kitchen in like 5 minutes. Yeah...we had a very rude encounter with the shop keepers of the coconut gift shop. (Fine print: We did not eat at any expensive restaurants)

    We came here looking for a breakfast that wasn't as expensive as the resort we were staying at... And you definitely get what you pay for. I wasn't impressed. If you want a traditional heavy and greasy island breakfast this would be a good place to go, but I don't care for that so I had the traditional eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce definitely wasn't home made and the ham was so salty. I wasn't expecting the best eggs Benedict of my life but I wasn't expecting something that I would get from IHOP or Denny's. My boyfriend had the hungry man breakfast which he thought would be a lot of food since it was $17. The pork chops were small and nothing fancy, and everything else was greasy. The service didn't impress me either, I think our waitress came by our table twice... Once to take our order and the second to drop off the bill. Next time we are on the island we will probably pay the extra $3 and eat at the resort.

  • Layna F.

    This place is an ok breakfast place in my opinion. The kitchen forgot to put the spinach in my Luau omlete and the kalua pig inside was average, however they did crisp it up so that was a nice touch. My boyfriend had the eggs benedict. The hollindaise sauce on top strangely tasted slightly like cheese (not in a good way). We also got and order of mac nut banana pancake which was the size of a hubcap but again just ok. This place has pretty steep prices for breakfast. I knew this when ordering, but for over $40 dollar (including tip) for 2 people I was expecting better food. All in all not a bad place for breakfast but if the wait is longer than 30 minutes I'd go somewhere else.

    We went in late April around 11 am and it was hoppin'! Indoor seating with booths and lots and lots of chicken decor! My husband and I were entertained the entire time looking at their knick knacks and paintings on the walls. Our servers were polite and friendly, all of them doing circuits throughout the restaurant to top off folks' coffee cups. The food was delicious as well. When we get back to Kauai we'll likely look up this place again. :)

    My wife and 6 year old son loved this place. I ordered my first Loco Moco here, it was awesome. Another time I had an omelet that was good. Good, fast service, parking can be a little difficult with the restaurant being on the highway.

    Kountry Kitchen is a small breakfast place in Kapaa right on Kuhio Hwy. there is some street parking and a weird front area where you can park also. there is probably about 15 wooden booths. there is tons of country type trinkets on the walls along with a bunch of rooster stuff. its pretty cool and makes you feel like you're in the country side. we ordered the Banana Macadamia Nut Pancake and the Polynesian Omelet. the pancakes had actual slices of banana in it and chunks of mac nuts which gave it a nice texture change. the omelet had portuguese sausage and kimchee. you can also get toast or cornbread. the cornbread was really good and tasted better with some honey. overall everything was pretty greasy though and dark like it was cooked in a lot of oil. it was good but too greasy for me. i got a stomach ache after wards :( breakfast at Ono Restaurant down the street was a better overall experience for me.

    It was morning and I was headed from Princeville to Wiamea Canyon and wanted to stop along the way for breakfast so I used my trusty yelp app and found Kountry Kitchen. I know it has mixed reviews on yelp but if you read why most complain...well...they just plain forget they are in Hawaii...silly yelpers. Here is the abbreviated version of Hawaii 101 1st Everything moves more slowly....Ever heard of Hawaiian Time? It's not the numbers on the clock but actually how things move more slowly. So you city folks...chill a little...you are here to relax...drive the speed limit (hard to do but if you listen to a local radio station it's much easier) and be patient in restaurants. BTW it usually takes me 2-3 days to finally relax and enjoy myself. 2nd Although there are a few places on the island most REAL Hawaiian food well...isn't exactly the most healthy so don't judge the food because it's large portions of sausages, spam and fried foods. THAT SAID: I came here at about 10am yesterday morning. First thing I noticed was on the door was a "They Love Us On Yelp" sticker. They were full except for one or two tables so we were sat immediately. I was given coffee almost immediately as we looked through the menu. I don't eat meat so I ordered the 2 eggs, hashbrowns and wheat toast sans meat which is $2 less. My husband ordered the Sweet Bread (not Mexican sweet bread but Hawaiian bread ;) French Toast. At the table they have maple syrup and coconut syrup which my hubby immediately noticed that it was real coconut syrup because he liked it as a kid. I never tried it because I always imagined it to be super coconutty and super sweet [spoiler: It's really good not that sweet at all, just a nice light coconut flavor...yum] It took about 15 minutes for our food and I had to tell my SO to chill as he looked around wondering where his food was...remember Hawaii time..this isn't a fast food joint. Our food came. I took one bit into my eggs and noticed...mmmmm yum...farm fresh eggs....nothing better than farm fresh eggs...the yolks are amazing. I looked at my SO's French Toast and decided to try them...very tasty and yep the coconut syrup was perfect with them (I would probably order them next time because I rarely eat pancakes or french toast because the syrup is too sweet for me but this was perfect). Our server was great and she did refill my coffee a couple times and it's good coffee...and I know good coffee because I drink my coffee black. As I left I spoke to (who I believe was) the owner to confirm the farm fresh eggs. He was pleasant too. Oh and I left them a "You've Been Yelped" card. Off to Wiamea I was with a happy tummy.

    The portion here are big, so it's best get a few items and share. The coconut pancake is so freaking good and can easily feed 2 people. The kalua pig omelette was really good too. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Prices are very reasonable as well and very friendly service. Seems like a lot of locals which is always a good sign.

  • Glenn P.

    I'm huge fan of the type of food they serve at this restaurant. However, I am no fan of the food at Kountry Kitchen. To begin with, the The hot tea from two separate pots tasted soapy. Preferences during the order were ignored. If you're a fan of quantity over quality this place is for you. You won't find quality here. When I told the waitress that the food was terrible she said thank you very much then walked away. I saw many large people happily sucking down the large portions so................

    This is just an average diner with average omelets, watered-down coffee, burnt hash browns and blasting A/C. Nice decor, though.

    This place has great comfort food! We only have eaten there for breakfast. Love the mac' nut pancakes and the loco moco. It's a small, old place and the waitresses have probably been there forever. Makes you feel like a local.

  • Adam P.

    When you come from NY to Kauai, this is the one and only place to get a 'feels like home' breakfast. It was so good, we went there 2 days in a row and would have gone again if our trip wasn't ending. The pancakes are ridiculous - huge and delicious! Omelets, fruit, cornbread also delicious. The service was great, our coffee was always full and the prices are very reasonable. Don't miss this one (but do expect a short wait for a table - totally worth it).

    (5)

  • Guy C.

    Great little breakfast nook, and let me tell you: They make a mighty damn fine Eggs Benedict. So much so that I made a point to tell the manager how good they were. It's a cozy atmosphere with lots of chicken pictures on the wall (and matching wallpaper), good prices, decent portions, and pleasant service. I'd definitely go back for those Eggs Benedict. Hash browns are nothing to sneeze at, either.

    Locals eat here and it's great. Huge menu and great staff. Located right off the major highway in town, try to park on the street since parking in their shared lot is probably impossible to find. We enjoyed the banana pancakes, eggs/bacon, and steak and eggs. The coffee was good, just not up to the standard we had at our hotel. Recommended for a quick bite on the way to the north or south shore.

    BEST PANCAKES EVER!! We ordered the Coconut, Macadaemia, and Strawberry pancakes with the coconut syrup.... all we can say is... BROKE DA MOUT, DA BEST, GOIN' BACK FO SURE!! Pancakes were enormously extra thick and fluffy... really good!!

    We ate cereal and bagels in our condo for six of the seven days we spent in Kauai so on the seventh day, we rested. No wait, that was God. On the seventh day, on the way to the airport, we stopped at the Kountry Kitchen on the advice of our concierge. After a short wait (the place was packed), we sat down and before our butts hit the bench the coffee was being poured. How's that for service. We ordered the kids their pancakes - we have to order their food first cuz they eat slow and get grumpy when not fed in an appropriate amount of time - and then began to peruse the menu. I really wanted to order the loco moco, but it was my last Kauaian meal and was too much of a wimp to take a chance, so I got the cheesy eggs - basically eggs benedict but with nacho cheese sauce instead of hollandaise. Wifey had the laua omelette. The kids pancakes were bigger than they were! more than enough food for my little guys. My dish was tasty although they smothered the crap out of my eggs with the cheese sauce, plus a side of hash browns left me loosening my belt buckle at the end of the meal. The omlette was huge too and was bursting with Kountry fresh flavor.. For all of the expensive food we paid for in Kauai, the Kountry Kitchen left us feeling the most that we got what we paid for.

    The food was excellent. Service was mediocre. I feel the owner is a grouchy guy whose just there to make sure the books are good. But definitely worth a stop, especially after an early morning surf session or long hike.

    i ate at kountry style kitchen a year ago and the memory of eating here burned into my memory. i came back for the traditional style loco moco, coconut macadamian nut banana pancakes and cornbread. everything was delicious! on the second visit we also ordered the polenesian omelette, which had portguese sausage, cheddar cheese, and kim chee, and THAT was insane! very flavorful, greasy goodness. next time i go to kauai, i will have this eatery on my to-do list.

  • Am C.

    This place is great! We opted to eat here each morning of our stay in Kapaa. The menu is really big, so you're bound to find something for everyone. I came early both mornings, but did notice there was a rush around mid-morning of both tourists and kamaaina alike. There never seemed to be an extremely long line out the door, but I would advise you to come early or later in the morning if you want to avoid a wait at all. I think the breakfast I enjoyed the most was the Sampler with the French Toast. There is street parking (best bet is across the street), there are a couple of stalls in front of the place, and there are most stalls just after the store next door. There's a sign so you should be able to find it fairly easily. Oh! Coffee is charged per cup (not free). Otherwise, prices are fair considering the size of the portions.

  • Angela L.

    Stopped here for breakfast on our way exploring the North Shore. Overall it was average. We needed a place to eat breakfast and it delivered. Food: 3 stars. It was average. Hubby ordered the strawberry pancake which he felt was a little dry and not very enjoyable. I ordered the typical scrambled eggs, hash brown & Portuguese sausage. The hash browns were cooked in too much butter so I wouldn't recommend it. It filled us up for the morning. Service: 5 stars. The restaurant was packed but we didn't have to wait very long. The minute we were seated, the friendly waitress immediately asked if we'd like some coffee as "it's the best on the island". We were sold - it wasn't bad. Throughout our meal, the waitress consistently checked-in on us, asked if we'd like refills and how we were doing. Friendly island service.

    Wow. What a uniquely Hawaiian experience. So, my friend orders the Moco Loco with Kalua pork. When the little tiny asian woman brings out this HUGE mound of food and serves it to him, she beams saying "This is _my_ favorite!" The food was delish!

    The Country Kitchen was a big step above a greasy spoon place. I had their special poached egg sandwich with avocado, bacon, etc and it was a large portion and very tasty. Had best breakfast plaques for a reason. Coffee won't blow you away but very few restaurants do. Highly recommend.

  • Robert G.

    A great hardy breakfast! Come here ready to eat. The owners are very friendly and stop by each table to talk. We had the banana pancakes and macadamia nut pancakes which arrived filling the entire huge plate they came on. They have coconut or regular syrup. The owner suggests trying something you can't get on the mainland. The omelette is big and served with rice.

    (5)

  • Michelle T.

    Looks like a greasy spoon, and it kind of is, but there are some lighter and veggie options. I got the veggie omelette with egg beaters, and it was actually pretty good--lots of veggies in relation to egg (usually it's the other way around, which I hate). Also, the egg wasn't runny or buttery (or maybe it was such a thin layer of egg that I wouldn't be able to notice if it was cooked in butter, which sometimes leads to really buttery eggs which I also hate). The cornbread was pretty good. The Italian ordered grilled mahi mahi, and that was good too. Just plain, grilled fish. Interesting artwork on the walls. Lots of funny rooster art! Service was fine. Street parking. I think breakfast is served all day, but I think they close at 2 pm. They also have a lunch menu.

    (3)

  • Michael D.

    As with all restaurants on Kaua'i, where the average trip is 5-7 days, winning repeat business is not a priority. Added my name to the wait list and waited 20 minutes. Literally sat IN AWE as the host sat parties coming in off the street ahead of me, right in front of me--because, I suspect, I was a single diner. If I wanted to be treated like a second class citizen I'd get a time machine and move to apartheid South Africa. WILL NOT BE BACK.

    This is "must go" for locals and vacationers. They have the best banana pancakes we have EVER had. The service is quick and attentive. There is no way you wil be dissappointed.

    This was a pretty good place for breakfast. One word of caution, come hungry. The portions are huge and 1 plate is enough to share. When we came we had the loco moco and the luau omelet. The loco moco was just ok, but the luau omelet was awesome. It had a lot of great flavors and the Kalua pork wasn't dried out. Overall this is a pretty good breakfast spot. The prices were pretty decent and the service was pretty good, considering you're on the islands.

  • Jack N.

    If only their Kalua pig was served in Luau... This place has chickens everywhere! Decorations anyway, but there is a small chicken farm outside. My wife often misspoke and calls this place "Kountry Chicken". I almost made the same mistake myself. But with chicken everywhere, one thing I don't remember seeing is chicken being on the menu. We came around 9 something in the morning and didn't quite know where to park as there's no parking lots for this place. So we ended up parking about 2 blocks away and then had to wait another 30 minutes to get seats. This place is very popular. And the food is the reason why... French Toast, eggs, hash - this is pretty good. I probably should have gotten pancakes but I guess I had pancakes 3 days in a row so I needed something else. This didn't disappoint. Papaya - So sweet and delicious. Can't get much better than this Kalua pig - BOOM! This was insanely delicious. Think of all the flavors of pull pork, the juiciness of the meat from the slow cook process, and then placed that on a griddle to get it crispy! Wow, you are crazy not to get this. The Kalua pig alone was reason for a 5 star rating, but then I remember their service is at best mediocre. They forgot to get my pineapple juice until after multiple attempts to flag down one of their waitress. Would I come back? In a heart beat, but if only their service was a little better...

    We went here and are are going back before we leave! Parking on the side which was nice and convenient. The portions are HUGE! I had the Luau Omelette with hash browns and wheat toast with mixed berry jelly, and it was insanely delicious! We also shared the pancakes, which are ridiculously gigantic. We got the Mac Nut and Banana pancakes, but honestly couldn't finish it! Try the Mac Nut pancakes with the Coconut syrup and you won't be sorry! Great service and very inexpensive makes this our favorite breakfast place on the island!

    Great place for breakfast! I was looking around at what everyone else was having. I couldn't decide because all the dishes looked so good. Settled on the special Tamale and Eggs...did not disappoint. Huge portion of pork and tamale! I highly recommend it! Great service....great food...good prices (for Kauai), I saw one Yelper's minority poor comment "The last time I had this generic of a breakfast was when I was on a plane." I want to know what airline she flew on because I'd fly it all the time!

  • Ray K.

    If you're lucky enough to be able to visit Kauai and find yourself in Kapa'a for the day (hopefully longer), make the effort to have at least one breakfast at the Kountry Kitchen. You won't be disappointed with the food, staff or pricing. During a two week stay up in Hanalei Bay, we actually drove down to Kapa'a just to have breakfast here. Sound crazy? Just try this place and you'll see why. Recommendations include: The omelet with Kailua pork (add a side of hollandaise sauce for the heck of it), the eggs Margo (eggs benedict made with turkey and spinach), the fruit bowl, any of the pancakes, and their breakfast sandwiches.

    (4)

  • Melissa T.

    Best Breakfast on Kauai!!! Loco Moco w/ Kalua Pork is my favorite, but daily specials like the fried rice omelet will sometimes get me to stray. Pancakes are large, fluffy and delicious. Bring an appetite! Much better now that there is parking available just steps from the restraunt.

    (5)

  • Amanda G.

    We read such great reviews of the place, so we were really excited to have our first breakfast in Kauai here. Unfortunately, this place epitomizes a 3 star restaurant. Everything was pretty mediocre. I had the sweet bread french toast, and seriously, it was so bland! It needed more vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, something! I've had this dish other places, and really enjoyed it. Although, at Kountry Kitchen it had no flavor. It was also a little greasier here than at other places. Service was pleasant, and out food came FAST! Which we appreciated, since we were excited to explore Kapa'a. I can't give them less than 3 stars, since they were nice, and food wasn't horrible, (just not very good.) We never went back, and probably never would.

    Why am i reviewing this place again? Probably because it is my favorite breakfast place on the planet. Listen to me! Go in there, order the sampler with two banana pancakes, bacon and papaya. ALSO! Make sure you get an order of cornbread or two or three. And a glass of OJ. That right their is my go to meal and one of the best meals I've ever had. Oh and DO NOT forget to put coconut syrup over everything. Pancakes, bacon, cornbread, napkin. Whatever you want, have fun with it. You'll thank me later.

    Must try to Loco Moco and Mac Nut Pancakes with the white coconut syrup.! The food was awesome. Can't add anymore than what everyone already said... However I'd give their service. Crappy #2. Not Thee worst service I've ever had, but having spent the past 5 days in beautiful Kauai with stellar service elsewhere, country kitchen puts Kauai's hospitality to shame.

    Love! We stopped at Kountry Kitchen twice during our weeklong honeymoon because it was so good the first time! We had the sampler plate and the macademia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. It was to die for! The pancakes were huge and we took leftovers to our hotel, which were just as delicious the second time. The coffee was also very good. Loved the local atmosphere. I would suggest arriving early or be prepared to wait. We arrived at 7:45-8:00 A.M. and had to wait about 10 minutes: not bad at all. But around 8:30-9 there was a good wait.

    Wow! This place was amazing. I hate finding great places to eat that can be thousands of miles away from home. We had the fried rice omelette which we both thought was best omelette ever. Even though it was all about the fried rice, the flavor was amazing. The pancake was also delicious. If your look for a great breakfast spot, this is the place!

  • Inthira M.

    I don't like to admit when I'm acting like a tourist in Hawaii, but I'm from Oahu not Kauai so when I first visited Kauai I did what any tourist would.... read those free magazines that are at every hotel on what to do, where to eat, etc. and that's how I learned about this place. So, on the last day of our trip we came here for breakfast (They open at 6am so if you're an early bird, so are they). I don't remember the name but I ordered an omlette that had kalua pig, spinach, and onions. The omelettes come with your choice of rice or hash browns and white or wheat toast (upgrade to rye or sourdough for 50 cents more). When the omlette came out it was gigantic. I honestly didn't know how I was going to finish it and I was right... less than half way done I was ready to throw in the towel, raise the white flag, and get rolled out of there. The flavors were spot on and complemented each other so well. When I visited here again over the holiday (Kamehameha day) I also made it a point to come here, it is after all, voted best breakfast on Kauai. I think the secret is getting out too b/c now there's a long line of people waiting to get in. This time I had the Kountry omlette which had bell peppers, cheese, onions, and my choice of either tuna or ground beef (I went with tuna). Again with the big sizes!! I'm not complaining, but once again, not even half way through, I had to throw in the towel, raise the white flag, and get rolled out of there (haha!! you get the picture). Again, the combination of flavors were spot on and, like the last time I was here, there was a party in my mouth. To add to it, I love that their whole motif is chickens and roosters, paying omage to them since they're EVERYWHERE on the island. Whenever I'm on Kauai I will definitely come back to this place.

  • Sheryl M.

    Hubby and I were staying at a hotel across the street, so we walked in for breakfast based on the great Yelp reviews. Well, Yelpers don't lie... we had a great breakfast! Hubby had coconut French toast which was just right. Not too much or too little coconut, battered nicely (some places just fry egg on bread and think that's French toast - NOT!), and was a good full size portion for someone who was hungry and didn't want to get hungry again for several hours. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on English muffin with egg, cheddar cheese, onion, and kalua pork (built my own) with a side of hash browns. WOW. We wound up splitting both entrees so we had a savory dish followed by French toast "dessert." Service was good, cute decor, fair prices, and excellent breakfast food. I didn't like the coffee at all but hubby enjoyed it, so to each his own in that department, I guess. I nicked off a star because the service, while adequate, wasn't exceptionally friendly or anything. Also, the tabletop needed a wipe when we sat down and when my hubby accidentally dropped a utensil, it took us quite a while to flag someone to replace it.

  • Michael M.

    Looking for a late breakfast in Kapa'a is an easy thing to do, particularly when the palette isn't too discerning. This little place definitely delivers a quick meal that fills you up, but don't expect anything more than that. The coffee was not bad, but not worth the 2.50 it costs, either. The omelets are nicely sized and the eggs benedict is available in a half-portion for the ladies, though they only shave a few dollars off the price for that option. The waitress didn't smile once, and the host was more interested in checking scores on his phone than greeting his customers or asking how they enjoyed their meal when completing the transaction. Basically, if you just want a late breakfast without the niceties of service, you won't leave hungry.

    I would give it 5 stars, but I've only eaten two items here (over and over and over).. the Macadamia nut pancakes and the luaha pork omelet (with cheese and spinach). Ate there 3 years ago, and must have dined there at least 3 times. Just went back a week ago, and the pancakes and omelet were still just as good. The coffee is great to!

    A great find from Yelp during our stay on Kauai. I ordered the macadamia nut and banana pancake which is huge and really really good! The hubby had Portuguese Sausage, eggs, and rice which are all very yummy too! Price is pretty average for Kauai, with coffee it's about a little over $10 but definitely worth it! If you are staying around Kapaa area definitely try it out, the yelp direction to the place is wrong try using google map directly. It's across the street from a park not in the Kapaa shopping center as per Yelp.

    My wife and I visited Kauai for our 10th anniversary, and we asked where there was a good breakfast place. We were directed to Kountry Kitchen and were told that it's routinely voted "best breakfast place" or whatever every year. So, off we go to get breakfast. We park across the street and then put our name on the waiting list. We were there around 8:30am and had to put our names on a waiting list, and then waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. I don't remember what I ordered, but knowing me, it was along the lines of steak and eggs, or bacon and eggs and hash browns. The fact that I couldn't really tell you what I ate should speak to the unmemorableness of it, if that's a word. Here was my general impression of the place - it was decent. I don't think it was any better than Denny's or any other decent breakfast place. Reading the reviews others have left, you'd think this was some great destination that you didn't want to miss while in Kauai. Well, when we go back, we may just stop back and eat at this place if we happen to be in the area and are hungry, but we're certainly not going to go out of our way to go there. It's decent, and it's better than a McDonald's breakfast, but I wouldn't say it's particularly special. I've had better. I might just go there again just to see if I missed anything. Maybe we hit them on an off day or something. Oh, one other thing - there's not a ton of room in there, so if you're thinking that you and your party of 10 are going to be able to be seated in a reasonable amount of time, you might be disappointed unless you're okay with sitting apart. That's not to say they couldn't accommodate you, but rather that there are only a couple of places where they could push a few tables together to make that happen, so you might want to call ahead first.

    I'm eating here right now and boy is it delicious. I just couldn't wait till I got home. The food was good, price is reasonable if you order the right things, the wait was short, and the staff was attentitive and friendly. I recommend getting the macadamia nut pancakes or coconut pancakes and share with some who gets an omlette. Plenty of food for two at a great price. Be sure to put on some of that coconut syrup. Yummmmm. Five stares easily. I loooove crispy bacon. Pancakes were the size of dinner plates and super soft and fluffy. This is the place to come.

  • S L.

    Me and my boyfriend LOVES this place. It is "our" breakfast place on the weekends. Great friendly speedy service. The coffee is great and so is the food. I recommend the banana pancakes and omelet. There is usually a long line but the staff is so on it that they really keep things going. Our average wait is about 10 min. The service is always consistent. This place is great!

    This was the best breakfast we had in Kauai! Okay, well, it was the only breakfast we ate out while we were in Kauai, but it really was excellent. I had their special of the day, a stuffed sweet bread french toast served with mac nut honey. YUM! Big portions, good quality. Only issue was the wait, so be warned you might wait an hour.

  • Linda M.

    Returned to Kountry Kitchen after visiting here 5 years ago. Huge portions as before and very good food. They ran out of macadamia nuts (by 7:00 in the morning), so I had strawberry pancakes instead. The strawberry syrup was way too sweet. It would have been better with fresh berries. Everyone else in my family enjoyed their breakfast and no one could finish the huge portions. Very good coffee too.

  • Harald L.

    My wife and I went there this morning for breakfast. I had an omlette and their huge macadamia nut pancakes which I couldn't finish. Great place for a good price. Waiters are attentive and your coffee cup is never empty. Definetly a place to return to.

    Greatest coconut french toast you can ever eat! Wonderful omlets too! Very reasonable and friendly service. Unfortunately we discovered the Kountry Kitchen on the last day of our vacation or we would have eaten there many more times. Definitely a place you want to visit while in Kapaa.

    Been here many times over the years and cant believe I haven't rated it until now. Great food, efficient service (which says alot on this island) HUGE pancakes and good for kids. It's locally owned and operated and they have a good mix of traditional food along with more local offerings (LocoMoco anyone?). Last visit we ordered several types of pancakes, tropical french toast, spam, poached egg, kiddie breakfast. Everything was tasty, coffee and juice were good and service was friendly. We'll continue to come here year after year :-)

  • Heather N.

    Cute little restaurant, very busy. All the tourists stops here for breakfast even the locals eat here. Things to try hawaiian bread french toast, macadamia nut pancakes, loco moco, and their omelets. Not to mention the coconut syrup as known as LIQUID CRACK... omg this stuff is so GOOD! I hope I can find it here in the markets.

    Are you kidding me - the pancakes here are enormous! And talk about delicious! This place is just incredible! If you don't go here you are missing out on one of the best little secrets on the island - but that's okay by me - more of the awesome pancakes for me!!!

  • G L.

    This was a perfect place to bring our big appetite. I had the sample plate with two strawberry pan cakes eggs, bacon, and hash browns. With friendly service and great food I could stay in there all day. They also had great local artwork for sale on the walls. Very chill vibe. We walked out of there ready to take on the rest of our day.

    we ordered a $3 fruit plate and got enough food to feed all of us. plus we all ordered omelettes, pancakies, etc.. we only went here for breakfast so i can only speak for that, but i ghily recommend it. their service, not so much. but if you can get past that (which i always can) the food is worth it. they cooked their omelettes in a way which was greasy but not overly greasy. so good...

  • Jen C.

    We kept driving past this place and heard it was good, and over the weekend, we saw some folks waiting outside, so that was a definite sign that it must be good, right? We were seated right away, it was a cute place with lots of wooden booths. The place was cute with rooster/chicken decor (influenced by the roosters and chicken all over the island). It had a couple tourists, and also some locals. I ordered the sampler with two fluffy pancakes (a banana and macademia), and three pieces of bacon, and eggs over hard. It was yummy! I gave it four stars just because my BF ordered an omlette and it looked a bit greasy, so I'd recommend ordering the pancakes.

  • Kim C.

    Every time I visit Kauai, I always make sure to stop here for at least one breakfast. The portions are enormous and the food absolutely delicious. The other day my mom and I went in, since it was about 10am, the wait wasn't as long as during breakfast rush - expect up to a 45 minute wait. Mom got the breakfast sampler - 2 eggs any style, 3 strips of bacon, 2 enormous pancakes (1-coconut and 1-macadamia nut) and half a papaya. The pancakes were delicious, especially when you combined the coconut and maple syrups to make a dynamite syrup combo! I'm not even a big coconut fan (I will always refuse a pina colada for this reason) and I was eating up the bit of coconut pancake I had. Unlike my mom, I went with the kalua pig omelet with rice. This was my idea of an omelet! There was ample kalua pig, some onions and spinach - the omelet was STUFFED! The egg was a nice thin blanket that rested on top of the filling with some cheese. If I could have grown a second stomach, I would have eaten it entirely. Needless to say, I had to admit defeat after devouring half the omelet.

  • Kristi H.

    Possibly the best breakfast we've had in a long long long while. My husband had the banana pancakes and they were unbelievably delicious. I had a Denver omlette and it too was fantastic. Not the "cutest" of eateries, but the taste of the food makes up for it.

  • Planet of the Mape s.

    This place was ok. We were expecting a great breakfast after seeing all of the great reviews but it was just average. The people are nice and it's a cute little place with nice artwork to look at. The food...just mediocre. I ordered the cheesy eggs, and the hubby ordered the loco moco. I wanted an omelet but if you don't want one of their specialty omelets, you have to build your own and they charge (quite a bit) for each item in the omelet. My omelet would've ended up costing $15!

    Customer service was a little lacking. & I didn't get all the food I paid for. Only reason we went here was bc my hubby works with the owners cousin. Food was good otherwise!

    Had the chocolate chip and macadamia nut pancake. Mac nuts give a nice crunch. A little heavy on the chocolate chip. The hash brown was cooked to perfection. Nice and crispy. Overall very tasty. Would definitely come back to try an omelet!!

    My wife and I ate here for breakfast one morning. The place was pretty busy with about a five minute wait. When we got seated it was like a church pew type seating so if you have a bad back or something along those lines might want to avoid or bring a cushion haha. I got the Idaho omelette which had hash browns, bacon and cream cheese in it. Topped with tomatoes. I liked the idea of this omelette but I'm not sure if the business of the cafe caused the cook to use to high of heat on the skillet because my omelette tastes like burnt vegetable oil. My wife got the ham and eggs. Which she thought was azmazing. So I'm not sure what was the deal. But the business should tell you that people like it, so I must of had a bad experience.

  • Sheryl H.

    i am not quite sure why this place has so many high reviews. it was pretty expensive for something very basic i could have easily made in my own kitchen. my husband has a side of fruit with his meal and all it was was just cut up bannanas, not even a tropical fruit like a pineapple or mango. the service was fast though and the French toast was pretty good.

  • DeShawn T.

    There are so many menu options for breakfast that it's hard to choose. We came 2 days in a row and shared dishes to make sure we sampled as much of the menu as possible! The pancakes are delicious and huge. They infuse them with fresh fruit, macadamian nuts, or shaved coconut. We shared one and still could not eat it all. I had the garden benedict (half portion) on day one and the kalua pig omelette on day two. Both lived up to my expectations. Food portions are large. Definitely worth what you pay for this meal. Bring your appetite! This restaurant will be my regular breakfast spot when I am in Kauai.

  • Kimmie A.

    Awesome luau omelette, and sweet bread French toast!! The coconut syrup is amazing! We also liked the Mac nut banana pancake. The pulled pork in the omelette was tender and tasty. The onions are larger chunks and the spinach I wasn't sure I'd like, but I did! This was my favorite dish.

  • Sarah J.

    Best breakfast I've ever had on Kauai and I've been coming here my whole life. Hubby had a macadamia nut pancake (huge, fluffy, delicious) and I had the English muffin breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, cheddar and grilled onions. Both were so tasty and satisfying! The coconut syrup on the table was amazing and not too sweet, and it compliments a macadamia pancake perfectly. My sandwich was sinfully cheesy and I was super full after. Our server was so sweet and attentive, and other servers seemed to work as an efficient team. The atmosphere is cute and clean, and it packs out (not surprisingly). Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kauai!

  • Lauren T.

    Got here at 7am; plenty of parking and no wait! This place is super tiny! Had the half order of french toast (3 pieces) with coconut and used the coconut syrup provided at the table. It was hot, sweet, and perfect! I also had a side order of Portuguese sausage which consisted of 5 pieces for $3.50; a little steep when you think that's $0.70 each. Would definitely recommend!

  • Charm B.

    Luau Omelette (Kalua pig, cheese, spinach, onion) YUMMMMM! This place is so much better than ONO Family Restaurant (where we ate yesterday.....).. Other family members ate chocolate banana pancake (big thumbs up) and the pulled pork sandwich plate, and the sampler breakfast (bacon, pancakes, papaya, eggs - not mixed up just all on one big plate) and we all thought it was great!!!! Good service. Very friendly. Much better than the ONO FAMILY - who is higher rated (not sure why).....

  • Benjamin G.

    This is a small local place, that has really, really good breakfast! Yes, it's a small place and usually has a long wait, but the food is well worth it. You can have breakfast at Kountry Kitchen and be full all day long... great food energy if you plan on going hiking or any other island adventures. The portions are really huge for the price and the servers are pretty on point for making sure you're taken care of. Word to the wise... it's better and faster getting out after your meal if you pay cash!

    Our new favorite restaurant for breakfast in Kapa'a, the Kountry Kitchen will delight a serious menu reader and eater. Lots of options, many of them local. Fresh food and outstanding service! Warning: long lines on the weekends, and everyone in your party must be present to be seated.

  • Gopher I.

    I ALWAYS come here when I'm on Kauai...I don't know what happened this time around, but NEVER AGAIN. I dined by myself; waited a good 12 minutes for a table (which didn't bother me since there was a big party waiting that ended up getting split into two tables not even close to each other). After I sat down I asked for water - came in less than 30 seconds - great! However, it then took another 12 minutes for someone to ask me if I ordered yet, and then another two minutes and couple of "stink" eyes for someone to come over and ask if I was ready to order. When the woman finally came to take my order, she wasn't pleasant, and made me feel like she was doing me such a big favor by taking my order. Ugh. She was soooooo pleasant to the table next to me, so what's the problem? Don't like being told to take my order? Then you should've done your job sooner and without being told. Three other tables of people were seated after me, and completed their ordering well before I was even asked if someone took my order. If the girl hadn't asked, five more minutes and I would've just walked out. Anyway - the food came out quick (ten minutes or so), and thankfully it was HOT! But that was about the only thing to get excited about. I ordered the Polynesian omelette (I should've read the reviews - I totally agree): thin egg shell, hardly any cheese, and super oily. Thankfully I ordered it with rice, which helped with the oiliness. Should've ordered the pancakes...but oh well; should've walked out...but oh well. Positive things about this morning's dining session? 1. The girl who came to ask if my order was taken took action to resolve it quickly and made sure it was taken care of - she came by after and apologized for the wait; I thanked her for even noticing since she was the only one out of four women and a guy on the floor who cared. 2. The food came out quick and was hot when it arrived. 3. They were super good about refilling the water. So close, but so far. No longer on my Kauai have-to's.

    I love to go out to breakfast. Ordered the macadamia nut pancake and it was HUGE! Literally the size of my entire plate! It had so many pieces of nuts if it as well. They were very generous in the portion size and the quantity of nuts. The coffee was delicious as well. They also had pineapple ginger juice the morning we went and it was very good. My husband had the sweet bread French toast and he enjoyed it as well. Would highly recommend and would go back again.

  • Jane V.

    After reading reviews and tourist recommendation we had breakfast at Kountry Kitchen. The service was friendly and we never ran out coffee because of that customer service. Our eggs benedict arrived very quickly and was a very generous portion smothered in holiandais for $13. I give Kountry Kitchen just 3 stars only because my English muffins and hashbrowns where close to bunt but my poached eggs were raw. That I mean. .......so were whites. My husband said he doesn't have to go back. I would give Kountry Kitchen another try.....things sometime go wrong, but being in the food industry for over 18 years, I would of not served that dish and started over.

    This place is delicious!! The food a great and the service is warm. Everyone works together as a team to make sure every customers needs are met. There can be a wait but it's definitely worth it! The pancakes are light and fluffy and the corn bread is awesome.

  • Kathy L.

    Soooooo good! R and I shared the Kimchee Portuguese sausage omelette which was amazing. Probably one of the best things we had in Hawaii. We also had the Macadamia pancakes with the Coconut sauce. R was not as impressed with the pancakes but I thought it was light and fluffy. We'll definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Kauai!

  • Yvonne H.

    Get here early because there is a line , however it goes pretty quickly . The food is great and priced right , compared to other places here in Kauai . Try the Moco Loco. Rice , eggs , pulled pork covered in gravy , get the corn bread with it. Come hungry

    (5)

  • Vanessa E.

    The wait for this homey restaurant on the weekends shows that this is a popular local spot for a home cooked breakfast or lunch. Was happy to see they had corned beef hash (my favorite), and they cooked my hash browns well done and eggs medium as I asked. Husband loved his coconut sweet bread French toast as well, even though I'm sure he may have needed some insulin later that day from a sugar OD haha. Water glasses and coffee were always full and service was attentive. Great mom and pop establishment. I'd come here again while vacationing.

    During our 8 day stay in Kauai, we visited Kountry Kitchen not once, but twice. On our first trip, we arrived a little after 7am and scored one of the last 2 tables. By 8am, the place was practically empty. On our second trip, we waited for the breakfast crowd to disburse before arriving. What we ordered day 1: Me- corned beef hash, 2 eggs, hash browns, and toast SC- macadamia nut pancake What we ordered day 2: Me- Loco Moco (2 scoops of rice, 2 eggs, burger patty, gravy, and toast) SC- macadamia nut pancake... again Portions are ginormous. Too much food to take in. Ridiculously good.

  • Veronica N.

    I usually don't like cornbread, but I LOVED theirs! We tried their kalua pork loco moco, crab benedict, macadamia nut pancake and kalua pork omelet. We loved everything. The restaurant is cozy, try to grab a seat by the window. Come early, this place gets busy. We arrived before 7am and there was no wait :)

    French toast is crazy good! Rest of the meals ordered were just a little above average (omelets, eggs, etc). Coffee was not really good at all maybe we had a bad pot. Coconut syrup and French toast is the thing to get.

    Ate here a few times while in Kauai. Best part was Rosie and Esty, such friendly hawaiian spirit...love those girls! Of course had the banana macadamia nut pancake as big as the plate and hubby had coconut french toast YUMMY! Also tried spam and eggs and Portuguese sausage also good. Lots of omelettes too. Reasonable prices..you won't be disappointed.

  • Adriana T.

    My husband and I enjoyed our breakfast here. The guava juice is amazing! We shared a banana pancake which was delicious and huge! I tried the traditional loco moco.. Interesting but good, not something I want to eat again but glad I tried it. It's hamburger party and eggs on rice smothered in gravy. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and that was very delicious. They take a little bit to take your order but the service is pretty fast after that. I do recommend eating at kountry kitchen. I want to return and try something different.

  • Chris M.

    This place was fantastic! I ordered the made to order omelette with Portuguese sausage, bacon, and cheddar cheese. It was fantastic! I'm a big critic on breakfast food, and can get easily disappointed, but this place was fantastic! From the select few complaints I've seen I think you just need to know what you're ordering. If you order an omelette with American cheese, of course you will just get a slice of American cheese on top. I was given a very big and freshly cooked omelette stuffed with TONS of bacon and sausage, a fresh banana, and toast. Plus I had their freshly made juice it was amazing as well. Can't remember what it was made of.

  • David C.

    This was the best breakfast I've had on Kaua'i so far! As a football player I've never met a meal I couldn't tackle, but the pancakes were so Ono, and you definitely only need to order one! Huge & delicious!! Well worth the wait if there is one.

  • Kristina S.

    We were hopeful for good breakfast of pancakes and French toast, but were let down by mediocre food (nothing pie some of our favorite places back home.). We found our pancake rubbery and cold, and let our server know -- but neither she nor the woman who took our bill offered or considered taking it off though they saw we barely ate any of it. The French toast lacked much substance -- eggs and potatoes fine. We did get frequent refills on coffee and water. Overall we would not go back and were disappointed given the previous reviews.

  • Mo T.

    I appreciate their effort. But to be honest, Denny's is way better. Very overpriced and just not up to par. My wife was anticipating coming here for a couple of days. She had the loco moco. Tip, your better off going to marks place for that or some local place. The omelettes were sub par at best. Nothing made me want to come back. I wished we would of saved the $65 for two adults and two kids and go to mcdonalds.

    Maybe we went in on a bad day but we ordered regular breakfast- pancakes, eggs, toast, etc. and all of it was either soggy, bland, or both. Not impressed, unfortunately. Even the juice is not fresh. :/

    Perfect island breakfast! Don't miss the fried rice omelette (yes - fried rice in an omelette, yum!), or banana macadamia nut pancakes! The staff is friendly and, although the line was long, the wait was minimal. Couldn't ask for a better breakfast spot.

  • Jennifer H.

    Okay, the coconut syrup is amazing but other than that the experience was meh. First, our waitress was nice but the service was awful, we probably asked for coffee five times before getting it. Then, I ordered a bacon, tomato, cheese omelet ... It's almost what I received except they added sour cream which I admit was a good addition. However, not good enough to outweigh the fact that the bacon was burnt and the omelet overall was a little burnt. One tip: add just a splash of the coconut syrup to your coffee ... Delicious!

    Such a great breakfast joint in Kapaa! Right off the main road and easy to find. Waitresses were super nice and got our meal fast. Food was great and totally hit the spot. Pancakes, French Toast and Port Sausage. Yum. I remember their orange juice was really good too. Prices are pretty average. Actually, not too bad for the size of pancakes you get. A definite stop when you are in Kauai.

    This place was just alright to me. I heard such great things about this place, so I had high expectations. We got there early, so we were seated right away. The prices for breakfast are outrageously high! I couldn't believe we were actually sitting down for breakfast with prices that were clearly unreasonable. I got something simple, Portuguese sausage with two eggs papaya and corn bread. The corn bread was very delicious. I was very disappointed with the papaya though. I didn't get a half papaya, I got a quarter! It was so disappointing and cheap in my eyes. My boyfriend ordered steak and eggs which were absolutely horrible!! The steak was so over cooked with no seasoning whatsoever. The worst steak I ever had! On top of that, the waitress only refilled our water glasses once! When we asked for water, the waitress gave us attitude. I probably would not eat here again! I don't understand the big hype about this place.

  • Monica J.

    I was really looking forward to eating here. The reviews were great but the negative reviews were unfortunately true about this establishment. First, they forgot to call our name and then argued they did and we were not there. Umm.... We were sitting there waiting the whole time with 2 small boys burning up outside! Anywho, we were seated immediately. But the food was ok. Our scrambled eggs were browned and the hash browns were greasy and it tasted like old grease for that matter. The French toast was surprisingly delicious. Coffee refills were abundant but the coffee was mediocre. Come to this place at your own risk. :/

    This restaurant makes a mean breakfast and has fantastic service even though they are pretty busy. Parking was slim, but we did find a spot next to the gift shop - and we noticed that a lot of people parked in the gravel lot across the street and walked across the highway to the restaurant. The coffee we had was great - strong and dark, which is how I prefer it. My husband ordered the corn beef hash with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and white toast. Unfortunately, the corned beef was out of a can...very disappointing. He said everything was decent though. My Mom and I both had the tropical fruit cup, it was amazing - very fresh. It was loaded with papayas, bananas, pineapples and oranges...loved it. We both had the coconut French toast as well...so good, and a very unique dish. We both got half orders, which meant 3 large pieces of French toast...more than enough. It was covered in dried coconut and had a generous dollop of butter. They have both coconut and regular syrup available....I tried the coconut and it was great. This is definitely an awesome place for breakfast..we got there around 8 and while the restaurant was almost full, we were glad we got there before 9 when a line out the door started to form. -1 star for the canned corn beef, otherwise, totally try this place out!

    Great spot for breakfast. It's a diner but in Hawaii basically. The coffee is decent. They have 100% guava juice but it's not fresh though still very tasty. The mahi mahi with hash browns and eggs were delicious and a great deal. 12 oz is enough if you're hungry or want to split between 2. Highly recommend trying this for breakfast.

    BEST BREAKFAST on the island!! It's not and healthy organic type of breakfast. It's real good, real grease, real flavor!!

  • Jimmy A.

    I would eat there again. The pancake was huge. Like enough for two people. I thought 9 bucks for one pancake was a rip off until I saw the pancake. A good breakfast spot. Not worth waiting more than 5-10 minutes if there is a line, but a lot better than other spots.

    Tiny diner but packs a powerful punch! We went for a late breakfast and after seeing the size of the portions, my husband and I split an omelette. We had the Luau, with Kahlua pork, fresh spinach and onions. Such fluffy, grilled goodness. The hashbrowns had a perfect crunch on the top too! Don't be put off at the $8 for one pancake..... It almost hangs off of the plate! I've heard tell the macadamia nut pancake is the best. We might try it out tomorrow. We will definitely be back!

    Came here for their Cuban night - first saturday of each month (to coincide with the Kapaa art walk). Loved the food, a bit, ok, a lot on the pricey side, especially $20 for chicken and rice, but the flavors are good and the service is great, and besides, how often can you find Cuban food on Kauai? The pork was incredible. Just melt in your mouth delicious. Oh, and that mojo sauce? The green stuff? I asked for extra and poured it over everything. I could have drank it if there was more haha.

    Kountry Kitchen is not "closed until July 9th"! They are alive and well, and still on their game. Food is rib-sticking good. Coconut French toast with cinnamon topping for me, and Loco Moco for hubby. Both outstanding. We decided that the person who posted the "closed until July 9th" review was probably Kountry Kitchen's competition. Nice try. They have none.

    Ok. The mac nut pancakes are really good and huge.. but other than that just an average breakfast location.. Don't know why there is such a hype about this place..

  • Greg J.

    I had the macadamia nut pancake. It is huge and pretty thick. I think two could share it. Unfortunately I started off with the maple syrup. Just way too sweet. I did try the coconut syrup and realized that was the ticket. It wasn't as sweet as I thought and set off the nuts perfectly. The place was pretty crowded the whole time we were there. I think it must be pretty popular.

  • Hector M.

    Do yourself a favor and get the following: Macadamia Nut Pancakes, side of Portuguese Sausage, a side of hash browns, and a side of sunny side up eggs. This will be more than enough food for 2 people to fight over and play real life Hungry Hungry Hippos. The pancakes are MASSIVE, I could eat Portuguese sausage at every breakfast, and their hash browns are unreal. Be sure to use coconut syrup on your pancakes (I always forget to bring some back home with me). Their parking lot is located at the first alley on the right (passed the store).

    Thanks to the 2-hr time difference, we were hungry at 6am. We decided to give Kountry Kitchen a try, and good thing we got there early - there was a line out the door by the time we left. (Get there early!) We loved the food here. My plate of egg and cheese muffin plus hash browns was consumed rapidly by my toddler and me. My husband had an omlette that was also delicious. We unfortunately didn't get to taste the pancakes...but I saw some other customers eating them and looking fully satisfied. Our server was fun and friendly. We also loved the decor - the walls are covered with roosters! Street parking only. SUM: We will surely go back here (and eat those pancakes!) next time we make it to Kauai.

    It was okay. I had the mahi mahi sandwich. Mike has the pulled pork platter. The BBQ sauce was extra! No French fries, just potato chips. Service was good. Just wouldn't go back for lunch. Too many better places to choose.

  • Chris J.

    Read a lot of reviews before my trip and was pretty excited to try this spot. Unfortunately mywife and I were not impressed. Had to wait outside due to the line, understandable, no prob. Got seated after about 20 min, and recieved our menus. Decided on the loco moco, wife got the banana macadamia nut pancake. First off, pancake was huge and taste/quality was pretty good. If I was to return, I would get the pancakes. Alas, I will not be returning. My loco moco was so over cooked as to be tough and tasteless. Asked for the eggs over easy, came out over done. No yolk liquid at all. Pretty sad day for me. The gravy was the highlight, and for that I give a thumbs up. Like I said before, will not be returning. I take my meals seriously (I basically plan vacations by what I will be able to eat). There are only so many meals I can cram into a vacation and life is too short to be eating overcooked hamburger.

    Yum! We have breakfast here every time we stay at the Outrigger Wapouli Beach Resort. Today we had Hawaiian sweetbread frenchtoast sprinkled with fresh coconut with coconut syrup. To drink, fresh blended ginger pineapple juice. Great breakfast for kids too!

  • Max S.

    Best breakfast on the island. Reasonable prices and don't be turned away by the line. It goes quickly and you have your friend within 10 minutes of your order. No extra price for egg white substitution which is always a plus. Really delicious spot.

  • Dennis B.

    I was here in 1990 and back again just today. Nothing but the prices have changed (and the prices are fine for the amount of food and wonderful service). I had the Polynesian Omelet-Portuguese sausage, kimchee grilled onions-my girl friend had the Luau Omelet-Kailua pig and spinach. They both were amazing! The service couldn't have been better. Thank you Kountry Kitchen. It is nice to see some of old Kapaa still remains

  • Jeff M.

    Great food, Mac-nut pancake with coconut syrup, wanted to try Moco Loco like a native. Got it with hamburger and a side of kahlua pork. Skip the burger, have the pork. Best meal so far in kauai. Only thing stopping from 5 stars, was our waitress ( check designated her as "c"). Kept coughing and wiping her nose. She also snacked from the kitchen while serving. Everyone else was so nice and friendly. Except for "Patient Zero" it was perfect.

  • Kris B.

    Not my cup of choice. This is a greasy spoon with very high prices. It is busy and the service was great. I thought it was way over priced and disappointing.

  • James D.

    Amazing place! Make sure to get the mac nut pancakes and get that coconut syrup on it! The mac nut pancake is plenty to share, especially if you're getting something else. I had the Portuguese sausage skillet, which was phenomenal! Make sure to stop by here!

  • Joe M.

    BEST Denver omelette I have ever had! So awesome with rice and the toast was yum! I wanted to try a pancake but they were as big as a frisbee and I was already stuffed! Next time! The hostess was super pleasant and made the wait go quick. Definitely worth going and waiting!

    stopped in for lunch, good service and food. had the ono plate, wife ordered the kahula pork. Both were good the fresh ono was very good! best review I can give is I would eat here again.

    Our absolute favorite place for breakfast and brunch. I cannot get around the macadamia nut pancakes with loads of coconut syrup.

  • Appa M.

    you can't never goes wrong with a gigantes pancakes in the morning. i can see why some yelpers give them one or two stars but this is a small diner kind of place so be prepare to wait. the foods were yummy in my tummy and not because the portion is giant but it really is tasty. Since Kauai is a trekking type of an island you need a big breakfast and this place it is. if i were to come back to the island again i would definitely come here again.

  • Erich D.

    Worth the 25 minute wait out in the sweltering heat as we were looking to get a substantial and hearty meal before undertaking a treacherous (kinda, not really) but beautiful 8+ mile hike on the North Shore of Kauai that left us pretty sore the next day in places that we didn't know we even had muscles. Two thirds of the items we ordered probably weren't really good fuel for the body but were extremely tasty and very sizable. We ordered the massive banana pancake, sweet bread french toast, and luau omelet. The pancake and sweet bread french toast got an obligatory drenching in some sweet and delicious coconut syrup. The banana pancake was unequivocally one of my most favorite banana pancakes I had ever devoured. Basically, everything we ordered was very good and extremely filling. Probably could have used a wheelbarrow to help cart us out however. Don't know why this place doesn't own any to assist patrons out the door as everyone is pretty much patting or rubbing their protruding belly or new-found food baby slowly in concentric circles with contentment and a slight bit of pain from the feeling of over-indulgence as they leave here.

  • Alex G.

    Friendly service and nice place. Coffee was good but a bit watery. We were a large group and received good service. The omelette was a generous portion and looked really good. Unfortunately I didn't try the cornbread. My girl got the pancake with macadamia nuts & banana. You get only 1 pancake but it's huge and covers the whole plate. It was light and extremely tasty. A damn good pancake. I had the sampler which really wasn't so much a sampler as a pancake/French toast combo. It came with 2 scrambled eggs that were well done which I actually like and a side of bacon. I got the French toast which were ok but nothing special. Definitely go with the pancakes!! Everyone's bacon came well done whether you requested that or not. LOL. My breakfast also game with half of a papaya which I ended up really liking. Very good. No substitutions by the way. Next time I'll have to try the luau or Polynesian omelette, a more local dish.

    (4)

  • Brittany C.

    I bet the food is good but the prices do not interest me. And the service is iffy. The ladies seem to immediately forget who gets what within a matter of minutes. It's hot and I don't think it's worth the wait.

    (3)

  • Rupa A.

    I'm an eggs and hash browns type of girl and usually never get pancakes but wow, this place completely blew me away! I still dream of their sweet delicious pancakes smothered with their amazing coconut syrup! GET IN MY BELLY! Get their specials!

    (5)

  • Matt G.

    Food was really quite good. I had the eggs Benedict, shared the mac French toast with my wife and son had the banana pancake which has banana IN the pancake vs. just on top. The coconut syrup was really good, quite sweet as one would expect but not overly sickening sweet. They have a large diverse menu for breakfast and loved the option for half orders which really fit out budget and appetite well. Lots of side and option choices to really make the perfect breakfast you would want (wife ordered eggs on the side for a reasonable price). Prices were quite reasonable for island standards as well. Staff was nice, friendly and service was acceptable if not fast but we got there before 8 am when business seemed to be picking up. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is that I'm a tough sell, the ambiance was like a truck stop, seats uncomfortable and small, there's no view and it's still hard for me to get over these island prices. We picked this over the Ono family restaurant due to some of the reviews there saying the service was poor and kountry had posted their menu on here. Otherwise they seem very similar. It's our last day on the island but if we were here longer I'd go here again before Ono.

  • Meredith K.

    We thought this was our best breakfast on the island. We got there at a good time and didn't have to wait for a table. It was busy for a weekday morning! They have more American breakfast options w/ some Hawaiian and Mexican too. I ordered the 1/2 order of the Eggs Benedict (one of my faves) It was perfect because we were able to share 1 Mac Nut pancake - it's a must try w/ the coconut syrup. The pancake was my favorite because it was nice & fluffy! So good! He ordered the Special Teri Burger - he said it was kind of dry, I didn't try it. I would recommend this place at least once.

  • Kell B.

    We ate here two years ago, and I'm still dreaming about coming back.... thankfully, I'll be back next month! This is the best breakfast we ate near Kapaa.

    (5)

  • Alter K.

    The food here is so good! They don't over complicate great breakfast entrees - everything we had was perfectly done and the portions were huge. We were warned ahead of time of the large portion sizes, so shared a special that came with eggs, choice of breakfast meat, two huge pancakes (we got one coconut and one macadamia nut) and half a papaya. Just in case though, we got another order of eggs, toast (I think it's freshly baked bread) and hashbrowns (so yum, slightly crispy and salty). Everything came fully buttered and flavorful - so not the healthiest of starts but one you'll be back for. If you just arrive from the mainland and find yourself up early in the morning - get here before 8am to avoid the wait!

    (5)

  • Julie P.

    Love this place! Excellent breakfast with hearty portions and very friendly service. Pricey but then again most things are in Hawaii. The hashbrowns were awesome, very crispy with a hint of onion. Hubby and I loved our omelettes and the kids enjoyed a huge pancake and tasty french toast. We highly recommend for a filling and fun breakfast in kapaa.

    Had a fantastic breakfast at Kountry Kitchen. It was well worth the short wait and there are cute shops nearby to browse in to pass the time. Had a delicious breakfast sandwich with a side of very fresh pineapple.

  • Tina P.

    Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Food was fresh, delicious and served quickly. Endless refills on coffee and water. Service was very efficient ( and friendly)without being rushed. We arrived at 9:15 on weekday morning and were told about 20 min wait. We were seated in less than that. My husband and I both had the sampler which is the best deal. 2 eggs, bacon, choice of French toast or pancakes and 1/2 fresh papaya. It is a small restaurant but very comfortable and clean(bathrooms too).

  • Kevin N.

    Non existent service. Dryest french toast i have ever had. Every other meal i had on kauai was incredible. This was the worst meal I've had in months. Im sure the positive reviews are generally correct but my experience was bottom of the barrel.

  • Sarah W.

    As an unashamed carboholic - Kountry Kitchen was probably my favorite breakfast spot while in Kauai for our honeymoon! Corn bread with breakfast?! I was beyond excited when I saw the large golden yellow bread sitting upright on a plate. Perfectly moist, with just enough sweetness. Spread it with butter and BAM you are off to a great start! Next, for me - macadamia nut pancakes. HUGE. Two pancakes the size of a large plate, full of delicious macadamia nut morsels. I never wanted it to end. We had left overs and you better believe we ate those later that night ;) My husband had a mahi mahi dish for breakfast with eggs, hash browns etc...again delicious. More than likely, see Jonathan W.'s review for a full description. Overall, the price and the food was perfect at Kountry Kitchen. The waitstaff was super friendly. Our waitress made a personal juice concoction for my hubby. It is a bit of a drive out there if you are staying south, but trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. See pictures of the deliciousness to get a full grasp of what I am saying here!

  • Trent B.

    My wife and I ate breakfast here twice in one week during out vacation to Kauai. On my first visit, my wife had an omlet and I had a mac nut pancake. Both were excellent. On my second visit I had a 12 oz piece of Mahi Mahi. Also excellent. The service was great. Those flavoured pancakes are a great value. They are huge and only cost around $7. When I first ordered, I asked for two not realizing they were the size of a large plate. The waitress said, "we don't do that, we only serve one at a time because they are big." I was glad for the warning. I also ate at Ono's down the street and while Ono's was good, I prefer Kountry Kitchen.

    (5)

  • Karen M.

    There are excellent vegetarian options here, from pancakes to make-your-own omelets. Kids meals are great too, basic and filling. For the carnivore, you are super-satisfied. This is genuine diner food, you can smell the grease a block away. Sides are shredded has browns or white rice, and corn bread or toast, carb overload. These meals will keep you filled up long past lunch, and are very reasonably priced for Kauai. Pancakes are about 12", so order wisely. The steak and eggs is a bit tough, but just trim off the gristle on the steak and you'll be fine. Make your own omelet was good, even if a bit burned one time, It was sent back and remade without incident and lots of apologies. Kids meal is quite adequate, comes with the juice, great value. Service was prompt and courteous. Good table turnover, wait is reasonable, but you never feel hurried while dining. We ate here twice in 11 days.

  • S R.

    This is supposed to be nice place for which we waited 20minutes to be seated, but during our ordering process their "best" waitress had a problem to give me eggs on a separate plate (away from the rest of our hash browns etc). We requested that since our son has an egg allergy, and just in case if he tries something from my plate I did not want it the non eggs items contaminated. The "best" waitress kept arguing with me that your son ordered his own food, well duh, I know that, but that does not mean he cannot try the non egg food from my plate. When I showed my concern that it was just in case etc, she smirked and sarcastically smiled at another employee. When the manager arrived our complaint went to deaf ears. Our party of 7 left without eating. This joint is definitely relying on just one time tourist ordering from their Menu where it specifically states "no substitution."

  • Jenny T.

    You really can't go wrong with the banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. It's been 3 months since I was in Kauai and I'm still dreaming of these pancakes. I've bought bags of banana nut pancake mix to recreate the experience, but I can't replicate the original. Would love to go back for more someday.

    (4)

  • Michael S.

    This place is worth the wait! Best has browns, eggs, pancakes and Benedict we've had so far on the island. Yummy!

    (5)

  • Leolani K.

    As far as I'm concerned, breakfast doesn't get any better than this place. HUGE portions and the food is delicious! Banana pancakes, loco moco (gravy on the side), french toast and corned beef hash with eggs are all highly recommended. I go here for breakfast each visit home! If you go later (after 10am) there will be a wait. Park across the highway at the library for easy parking.

    (5)

  • Liz M.

    Wow this is the best breakfast place on the island of kauai! We had to wait 30 minutes, but it was totally worth the wait!! I ordered the chili omelette with has browns and my boyfriend ordered the luau omelette with papaya. It was perfect! The service was excellent too:) I would definitely recommend this place!!

  • Kip A.

    Great breakfast! About 25 mins from the Marriott Beach Resort. Standard breakfast fare. Great service. Had eggs and awesome pancakes. Definitely take time to visit this place.

    (5)

  • Daniel K.

    Yup, this place hits the spot! Easily the best breakfast we had in Kauai. The staff was super friendly and we got in just before the rush 8:45 - 9am rush. If you're a hungry lad like myself, the loco moco will fulfill that early morning void. I got pork with mine and it was a great change up from the standard beef patty. The gravy is super rich and savory. My girlfriend and our friends all had great dishes from here, I think it's safe to say that anything on the menu will be amazing. I noticed a few other tables that got omelets, and all I can say is that they were massive and looked amazing. I'm looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Kauai.

    On my last trip I decided to take my mom here for breakfast on my last day. Since I'm normally not a breakfast person but my mommy is so what better place to take her then here which is also 5 minutes away from our house. Knowing that it would be busy because that day being Labor day I knew we had to wait but I was surprised the wait was only about 20 minutes..way shorter than those other times I've been here. Parking is good since they had additional parking a few steps away from the restaurant if you can't find parking in front of the restaurant. Once we sat down we where seated in the same spot we always sit on which is kinda weird. The waitress there always so cheery and nice and so is the buser, but the host needs to at least smile once in awhile. And I wish the wooden seats would be a lot more comfy and closer to the table so I don't always have to slouch when I'm sitting. That morning I wasn't to hungry so decided to just get the mushroom omelet with rice and my mom got 1 piece of pancake (sounds little huh?) but NO there pancake is HUGER than the plate it's on! That morning we opted for what toast instead of the cornbread, they give you guava jam for the toast which is super delich! Since everything they serve there is all big portions me and my mom split my omelet and we still had enough food to take home. Everything came out to be only $13 which is cheap considering the amount of food we had. If you are ever on Kauai and on Kapa'a side looking for a good breakfast this is it just be sure to wait but it's well worth it.

  • Rebecca E.

    Excellent local restaurant. Had chocolate chip/ macadamia nut pancakes and the veggie omelette shared with my mom and it was too much food for both of us to finish. Service is fast and food is served hot and delicious. If you are in Kaapa before 2pm stop by.

    (5)

  • P L.

    I think the pancakes are the highlight here. I got eggs with hash and the fruit bowl. The eggs were leaking oil and so oily I could barely eat them. The fruit bowl was basically bananas and 2 pieces of pineapple. My husband ordered the burger which was a big mistake. The patty was dry and tasted like rubber. The redeeming part was the potato hash.

    (3)

  • Alex K.

    Me and the boy argued time after time about whether or not this was the best Loco Moco. I say nay, he says yay. I thought the gravy tasted like powdered package gravy. But the meat was tasty. And I guess as a whole it wasn't terrible. Its really the perfect carb overload before any day of beach activity. The real gem here was the macadamia nut pancakes. SMOTHERED in coconut syrup. They are bigger than any other pancake I've ever seen and taste like a fluffy tropical heaven cloud of deliciousness. Avoid on Sunday mornings... we waited almost 45 mins to get a table for 4. It's definitely pricey for diner food but its Kauai so, ya'll better get used to it1

    Our favorite breakfast place in Kauai! The corn bread is the best I've ever had! Try the special fried rice with any meal! Coconut syrup with their fluffy pancakes is oh so delicious!! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our kids love their food too!! The beach is right across the street for a photo op as well.

    My husband and I stopped in for breakfast while vacationing in Kapaa. Just the look of the place looked great for good food. The food was really good, generous portions but the best thing is the woman who greeted us. I am assuming she was the owner (has a brother in Bakersfield, CA). She was absolutely the nicest person we met while on our vacation. She genuinely was interested in everyone who came in the door. Would go back for sure! Thanks for good food and great conversation!

  • Jennifer B.

    I must start with the fact that we didn't eat here, but there is a good reason for that. We arrived and there was a short wait of about 15-20 minutes, which was no big deal. I made my way to the bathroom in the back of the restaurant. While I was waiting I noticed one of the servers was handling some food from the window. I saw her use her hand to brush something off of a pancake and blow on it. I gave her an unapproved look, but I'm sure she didn't notice. After I went to the restroom I met my wife outside and we continued to wait for our name to be called. About 5 minutes later we started talking about the menu and what we might order. To be honest we weren't impressed with anything and the prices seemed way to high for what we were noticing people were getting. I started getting a sunken feeling in my stomach and just felt that this wasn't the place for us so we decided to leave. Overpriced, smallish plates, witnessing a server wipe and blow on a plate, combined with a bad feeling equals find somewhere else to eat, which is exactly what we did.

    69 chickens perched on the Kountry walls welcoming you to start the day. Arrived at opening and within the hour the tables were filled. Rooster morning service chirpy and friendly with smiles. The Kitchen have their mainstream macadamia chocolate chip pancakes, although very generous with the mac nuts. All you can drip coconut syrup is ono-sweet over Coconut HI sweet bread French Toast

  • Ashley W.

    Moco Loco....do it The benedict was pretty darn good too. We walked in and got seated right away, the place was busy but the servers were attentive. They had lilykoi juice which was delish as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast. It is also located next to some cute little gift shops.

  • Steve B.

    We came around 10:30AM and there was a line out the door. The host told us it will be 10-15 minute wait. It was more like a 5-minute wait before we were sat. I ordered the two egg breakfast which was good! My wife ordered the banana pancake and fruit bowl. The banana pancake was amazing by itself but it was even better with a little coconut syrup. The portions are hearty and the taste is great so you will not leave hungry or disappointed. As an icing on the cake, our server was wonderful. She was friendly and attentive to our needs and wants. Great local place. Definitely a MUST visit if you're in Kauai!

  • Erin V.

    If I can have breakfast all day, everyday, I'd be one happy lady 24/7. Every trip, we mandate eating in at least one breakfast & brunch restaurant. We love staying in Kapaa since it's so close to the so many little restaurants/eateries and we definitely made it a point to come back to this place when we returned. Promise fulfilled! We came here twice. My husband really loves their Luau Omelette (filled with kahlua pork). I, on the other hand, opted for the corned beef hash because I lived off that stuff growing up and it reminds me of my childhood. A special comfort food, if you will. This place definitely delivers, but then again, corned beef hash is not that hard to F up either. Entrees are on the expensive side ($13-$16 for breakfast), but expected on an island solely thriving on tourism. We also had the banana pancake. It comes with one giant pancake that's the same size of the giant plate it's served on. When our waitress plopped it down on the table, I was scared. This thing was so big. Definitely split this with someone, or even two other people. Try it with the coconut syrup. Soooooo good! Service wasn't bad, but can't ding them for that either since everything is a little more relaxed on the islands.

  • Jeremiah C.

    Mac nut pancakes really are that good. Get them. Everything else, and our group of ten got a lot of food, was pretty solid. Hash browns were ok, but somewhat burnt. Price was a little higher than expected, but within Kauai standards. The place was full from the time we got there until we left this Sunday morning so expect to wait a bit. Only one single restroom for men and women. Overall, worth visiting for the $8 large single mac nut pancake or if you're hungry for a hearty brunch/breakfast and happen to be in the area.

  • Justin C.

    This place is pretty good in getting your order and food out in a very quick amount of time! Parking is available in many different places.. There is a lot to the side of the building, in front of the restaurant or on the street. Inside is very clean and can fit a ton of tables for any sized party you can think of. The sweetbread french toast is pretty good, its very fluffy and pretty.. They only have the regular syrup flavor though. . The hash browns are crisp on the outside and has a nice potato flavor to compliment the omelet. If you like artichoke hearts, then you have to get the garden omelet. They have real grilled artichoke hearts. There is nothing more amazing about this breakfast then popping that grilled goodness into your mouth. The coffee is okay.. It is a little bold, slightly bitter and burnt..

    Sunday morning brunch, no line... But I guess we did go at 8:00am. Coffee was strong, not burnt, and service was quick to refill. Can not ask better than that. Fresh chilled papaya - AMAZING. A must have. Loco Moco with fried rice - Well executed. The beef patty had some spice to it, so it was a flavorful hamburger. Gravy was thick and you could tell was made from a savory base. Classic fried rice, hard to complain when you can cover it all with some gravy. The egg was the only down fall, with a over-easy egg that had a cooked yolk. This dish could have had it all. Portuguese sausage omelet - Classically assembled omelet with the Portuguese sausage and kimchee folded in. The sausage was both sweet and salty, and importantly plentiful. Kimchee added a nice texture to the dish, but didn't have the Korean zing I was looking for. Hash browns were crispy. I'd come back.

    It's ok and expensive. About 3 x more expensive than Dennys. Average price of a omelet is $12 Got a patty melt $10.25...nothing special. It's a been there done that type of place. No locals...All tourists.

    Located in the heart of downtown Kapaa with affordable prices. We came here for breakfast on a Monday and it was still pretty busy! We got seated, and served quickly. I ordered the loco moco that was piled with ground beef patties, covered in gravy, atop some amazing white rice. Do not go for this if you have any heart condition, but I'm healthy and active and it was incredible! I was definitely slower for the rest of the day, but my stomach was happy. My friend thought the Polynesian omelette was the BEST omelette they've ever had in their life. What makes this omelette special? KIMCHI. They put KIMCHI in their omelette. Definitely check this great Hawaiian "diner" out if your visiting!

    Good solid breakfast! We eat here every time we come to Kauai but I've never written a review on the Kountry Kitchen before, probably because I'm being selfish. It's so good people don't mind waiting. The service is good and they move people in and out quickly! Try the Macadamia Pancake and Portuguese Sausage or the Loco Moco, you won't be sorry!

    Service was so dismal...took 20 minutes for them to give us water and to order and then took another 30 minutes to get food. Food was fantastic but man the service blew..

    They have a great hearty breakfast ! Definitely try their homemade pancakes. They are very unique and come with different flavors (macadamia nut, chocolate chips,etc). Overall , great place for a breakfast that is much more fresher than Denny's .

    Gosh, it seems as though it was yesterday I was here enjoying some Coconut Pancake, a large one may I add! I love coconut but I never had it in pancake and was somewhat hesitant ordering this plate. That hesitant feeling quickly put aside. I was surprised that it was a perfect coconut pancake for me. There wasn't a abundance of coconut in the pancake, which left it the right amount of coconut in each bite. It didn't seem like the coconut was sweetened, which was fine. It would have been too much sweetness after you added the syrup. This pancake was huge, but I managed to finish every bite along with my side of bacon. The place is quaint, and the day we came (a Tuesday in the month of May) was packed. We were able to be seated immediately after walking in, but it was a different story 20 minutes later. People were waiting at the door. It was a bit warm inside, keep that in mind. I don't know if the AC was kept low or if it was the sun beaming inside through the large windows in the front of the restaurant that made it warm. The service was good, and the food came quickly even though it was busy. I would love to come back again. P.S. Restroom is tiny!

    We love this place. They served me the same delicious macadamia nut banana pancake I had remembered from prior visits. Also the kalua pig is delicious. Go hungry 'cause you gonna eat alot or take home food. The folks are super nice and work hard to get you in and fed as sometimes there's a line. I have no idea how they lost their "Ono" but I would give it back.

  • Desiree M.

    All I can say is WOW.. Totally worth the wait. They open at 6am but we didn't get there till 8. They were already busy and I can see why. We didn't wait to long, maybe about 10 mins. After sitting down we had time to look at the menu. But the time the sever came by we knew what we wanted. I ordered the chocolate chip pancake and added strawberries. My husband ordered the Denver omelette. They both were wonderful! The service was excellent as well. Always walking around refill coffee/water. There was always someone around if you needed something. We leave in two days but we are hoping to make it back before we lead back home! P.s be prepared for a food coma!!

    Friendly, local, inviting and clean restaurant offers amazing local cuisine us vacationers desire. 20-30 minute wait is well worth it, especially when the hostess checks up on you. Food was flavorful with and island twist. We're coming back in two days for sunday brunch. A must visit while in Kauai

  • Mido U.

    Maybe we just ordered the wrong things but it was a disappointing experience and won't be going back. Ordered the eggs Benedict. Hollandaise sauce was orange and posted a pic. Likely from a packet. Tasted funny like it looked. My gf ordered the loco moco. "Upgraded" and paid 2 bucks more for the corned beef hash patty. Straight from the can. Odd that you paid more for that rather than getting a hamburger patty which likely costs more. Two Ice teas, six bucks, straight from the fountain. And to top it off, wait staff really phones it in.

    Yummy! Had the special of the day. Taro bread, topped with Kalua pig, poached eggs, hollandis sauce and this ahi poki salsa. Super good.

  • Christine T.

    One of the rare occasions that we actually sat down to eat was here for brunch! I debated about going back to the buffet brunch at the St. Regis, but quickly dismissed it for tasting new places. I ordered the loco moco special, which was with fried rice (usually with white rice). It is the ultimate comfort food, a burger patty topped with eggs with gravy all over. He got the steak and eggs. The portions was large here, too. I left fully stuffed. Oh yeah, my meal came with cornbread. So winning.

    Horrible service/ No Air conditioning.... Food good. Grew up on this island and Kountry Kitchen has been a restaurant I have gone to for years. Fast forward to August 2015- the restaurant has the same staff, same great food, but is under horrible management/ ownership. Needless to say we went 2x times hoping the first time was a fluke experience; sadly it wasn't. So here was our problems: 1. Took forever to seat 2. Hot / sauna like atmosphere = no AC (AC is there, but it's like a mirage because it doesn't work) 3. Food took forever 4. Had to ask our horribly busy waitresses for refills 5. Couldn't leave our table until our waitress had time to pay our bill. 6. Hand held credit card machine (we had to figure it our ourselves) 7. There for probably over 1/2 hour longer than we should have been. We were able to speak w the new owners and tried to give them feedback on the service we had. Needless to say these are owners who literally don't care. She gave us a run down of her expenses and tried to explain to us why she did what and why. We were her customers, not her friends. Needless to say it was quite an interesting experience listening to an owner bit@# the way she did about how much everything costs her. Seriously crazy experience that I wish I could take back.

    It's been forty years since we've eaten here and one of the reasons we returned to Kaui. We both had a Portuguese Omelet back then (it's called the Polynesian Omelet now). We both chose to build our own; how we remembered it. They came with crispy hash browns and thick sliced whole wheat toast. We were not disappointed and savored every bite. The omelettes were stuffed full of Portuguese sausage, onions, mushrooms and cheese. There is always a wait, however worth it. Tomorrow we are going back for a Macadamia Pancake. Also found out that they are going to expand.

    Sadly I have experienced better, and "that" experience has been here actually. Been here quite a few times over the last 10 years. Recently, in fact, back in March this year. That visit was just like the others in the past, service with Aloha and really good food. Unfortunately they have made some changes since then and it seems to have even effected the moral of the staff. The hostess and servers seem just as miserable to be in the new "open air" dining room concept. Of course that's a common concept and one that I usually appreciate in Hawaii but, this place isn't getting any air flow through it. They desperately need to close it back up, as it was before, and turn on the A/C. Again, as much for the staff as the customers. Two of the servers I recognized from past visits and they just seem like different people. No smiles, no conversing with the guests and no Aloha. The food was the same as always, really good! It was quite a long wait for it though. I understand the next part of the remodel is expanding the kitchen. Hopefully they can finish the new kitchen, add some A/C units and get things back to the way they were before.

    Tends to be busy but well worth it. Staff is very friendly, portions are large and food is great. My dad is a big Moco Loco fan. I always go for the pancakes, which are massive. We've never been disappointed.

  • Jennifer N.

    Amazing breakfast! Busy place but goes quick. Our food came out quickly and service was excellent. Husband and I shared coconut French toast and the Polynesian omelettes. Omg both were amazing! French toast with coconut flakes: rub butter all over and don't forget to add coconut syrup and honey! Polynesian omelettes: sausages, tomatoes, and kim chi. Interesting flavor! Add Tabasco with if you dare. Too bad we discovered this place right before departure to our next island. ;(

    I was in Kauai for 5 days and my family and I ate here 3 times. The food here is just so good, I wish they had this back home. Portions are HUGE! You don't need to order any sides (unless you get the pancake and need something salty to eat with it), otherwise you will explode from all the food they give you. Banana macadamia nut panacke- HOLY MOLY the BEST banana macadamia nut pancake I have ever tasted with my mouth. Better than Hula Grill and Eggs n Things in Honolulu! Just thinking about this makes me drool. It is huge and takes up the whole plate. Super fluffy and they have the bananas inside the pancake (better flavor!). Top it with some coconut syrup and you're set. Trust me you only need one of these to fill you up and more. Also tried the luau omelette, Mediterranean omelette, and chili omelette and all were really yummy. Also their side of wheat toast is very good and comes with the omelettes. Cornbread is also very delicious! Service was good. It can get crowded during the weekend and you may have to wait 20 minutes to get seated.

    Their LUAU omelette is to die for!!! It's so good you won't want to share & make sure you get their banana macadamia nut French toast.

  • Brian A.

    This place was pretty solid! I got the Loco Moco and the Macadamia Nut Banana Pancakes and didn't finish both of them. Not because they weren't delicious but because the massive amount of food they gave us! The Loco Moco was a little salty but the sweet pancake evened out the flavors! Very tasty food!

    (4)

  • Woody B.

    HUGE portions here for the pancakes! We ordered the pancakes with Mac nuts, chocolate chip, and coconut (yes, I know more than 1 ingredient costs extra- it was worth it!). The pancake was so fluffy and flavorful and also massive. Between the 2 of us we couldn't even finish it. We also got the crispy delicious hash browns which were some of the best I have ever had. Get them extra crispy if you can for an even more delightful experience. Also I would try to come here earlier in the morning since this place does not have A/C and it can get quite crowded and hot in the restaurant.

    I wouldn't mind the subpar service/no AC if the food was worth it, but the food was just...meh. I was super hungry (which would make most foods taste good!) but I wasn't impressed at all. Chalk this up as one of the yelp-hyped restaurants. I got the loco moco and a side of pancakes. My fiance got some bfast dish that tasted like it belonged to ihop. If I visit Kauai again, I won't be stopping in here...too many precious meals to be wasting on this one! You shouldn't either! (Drive to Mark's Place!)

    (2)

  • Misha T.

    All the portions here are huge. You don't need extra sides, unless, perhaps, you are a horse. In which case you don't need sides because you should be eating oats. My luau omlette came with some tasty kalua pork and some particularly good hashbrowns and cornbread. Seriously great cornbread. I also tried some of my friend's banana/mac nut pancake which was fantastic. Btw the pancake takes up the entirety of the large plate, you def don't need more than one.

    (4)

  • Jenny B.

    Call me a snob, but the food here was just not good. Not even for a diner. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce tasted like it came out of a can. The home fries came out of a bag that was most certainly frozen. And typically with bad food comes bad service. The only reason I gave it two stars: 1) I was hungry. 2) there are people in this world who have nothing to eat.

    (2)

  • Christina L.

    The breakfast / brunch here was decent and since there isn't a whole ton of selection on the island, I would say this is one of the better places to eat breakfast. I would come back here again, but it's not something that I would be craving and itching to go back to. (I know, I'm spoiled by good brunches in SF) For a party of 2, we waited for about 20 min, which wasn't too bad. We split a pancake and an omelette, and it was definitely enough food for the both of us. Macadamia Nut Banana Pancake - The pancake was enormous, bigger than my head, and as big as a large plate. Definitely split the pancake with someone else as you may have a sugar or carb overload if you ate it all by yourself. The nuts didn't seem as fresh as they could have been; they weren't super crunchy. They weren't stingy with the nuts or banana though, and the pancake taste was good. They had a coconut syrup on the table that went well, although it was fairly sweet / artificial tasting. The pancake was good, but nothing out of this world; I've had better mac-nut pancakes on Maui. Kalua Pork Omelette - This was a fairly substantial dish with kalua pork, spinach, onions and cheese. The fillings were generous, and the pork was well seasoned and not salty. It was tasty but a bit on the heavy side. The hashbrowns that came with it were crunchy and good. I also got half of a papaya which was tasty and fresh. All in all, a good place to come to brunch with 2-4 people without spending an arm and a leg. Expect to wait for a little bit, but not super long as they turn over the tables pretty quickly and have fast service. Definitely share plates of food so you can try a bunch of dishes since the portions are large.

    This place is amazing!! Great service, great food. Don't even think twice about stopping when driving through town. The loco moco with pork is soo good! Just enough but not overwhelming. The pancakes are the size of your face! Try the juice special you won't be sorry.

  • Asha S.

    We really like kountry kitchen when we visited Kauai 5 years ago so we were excited to have it again. However, we were disappointed by the food this time. It was mediocre...nothing special this time around. We ordered the kountry pancake which wasn't fluffy at all, and the mahi mahi breakfast plate. The mahi mahi and eggs were both overlooked. It's too bad as his place was really quite a gem.

    I went here today because of the yelp reviews. I have to say that yelp got it wrong. I went in wanting one thing, loco moco. I ordered it and when I got it I knew something was wrong. The gravy looked thick and a dark shade of brown. But I decided to give it a try. It was not the worst I've had but by no means that best. The heavy tasted like it came straight out of a can and the hamburger was way over cooked. The only thing I liked about the dish was the toast it came with. My mother ordered a hamburger and it was nothing to brag about. Yelp usually doesn't fail me but this was not a 4 star restaurant.

    (2)

  • Robert A.

    Kountry Kitchen is nestled in a row between other businesses and shops so keep a close eye out for it. The parking is across the street in a grass lot and along the street. If you see people lined up outside you shouldn't let that deter you they are very fast and friendly. The seating arrangent is very tight so if you have any inabilities that require more than a cane you may not find this to be a place that is very accommodating. Although our food order was very mainland we still had our choices of island delights. The papaya that came with our order was very fresh. I would normally give a place like this 5 stars however I do measure Disability accommodations due to the fact that I myself am Disabled. However very much recommended.

    We came here for breakfast at around 11am and wait was approximately 20mins for a group of 4. Ambiance: small restaurant, nice country styled interior decor; Hostess extremely friendly and attentive. Lots of benches outside for people as they are waiting so we didn't have to stare at other people eating Food: A+++ #I had the breakfast sampler: 2 eggs, fruit, french toast and bacon. It was superb. It had everything I was looking for: sweet and savory. Guava fresh and ripe (which is key). I wolfed this down very quickly. My friend got the same thing with pancakes and they were HUGE. #Coffee: ok Would definately come back if I am ever in Kauai again. Only thing was this was 17miles from Poipu so a little bit of a drive and with a wait don't come here if you are very hungry.

  • Chase A.

    Breakfast stop on our honeymoon. Busy place with longer wait times, likely due to a lack of comparable competitors. Friendly staff were attentive and prompt, however insects in the syrup dispenser were a turn off and kept us from coming back. The Good: the food was great and the service was friendly. The Bad: the menu was sticky, which is generally an indicator of the overall cleanliness. The table was not clean when we were seated and there was some sort of crawling bugs in and on the syrup dispenser. Gross! 30 minute wait time on a Thursday seemed too long. No non-dairy creamer for my lactose intolerant compatriots. Our Order: Cheesy eggs and the kalua pork omelet. Both were really great! Two coffees but tasted old and/or burnt.

    Just as there's the saying "don't judge a book by its cover," I shouldn't have pre-judged Kountry Kitchen based on the spelling of its name. Having spent many years living in Texas, I associate any restaurant that spells country with a "K" to be a greasy spoon kind of place not worth my time. Oh how wrong I was on this one! Kountry Kitchen is far from the Waffle House-greasy spoon of my imagination. Once I walked through the front door and saw the cute tropical decor, I knew I had been mistaken. Kountry Kitchen is, in fact, the perfect epitome of island big breakfast dining. The coconut french toast I ordered came out with three coconut and powder sugar-coated slices of thick Hawaiian sweet bread made even better with a light dousing of coconut syrup. The real surprise, though, was the size of the macademia nut pancake my father ordered. I still can't believe he finished it (okay, I did help him out a bit -- too good to resist!). WARNING: If you order a pancake here, you only need ONE! These are by far the largest pancakes I have ever seen. One pancake = dinner plate in size.

    This was an okay, warm, little breakfast joint with some good and some bad. The service left a lot to be desired, and so did their coffee. I had the loco moco, the hamburger was tasty and the gravy had the right amount of salt. Someone else posted that the coffee was terrible, so I didn't get it. I also didn't mention anything when my girfriend ordered it (I needed a second data point). She said it was sour and only drank a few sips. It took the waitress about 10-15 minutes to come ask our drink order and another 15 to return with sour coffee. It was okay though, during the wait I watched the constant march of small ants from the wall, down the vase, and all over the coconut syrup on our table. It helped with my order as I heard myself say "I'll have the loco moco", but I really wanted a pancake with coconut syrup, hold the ants.

  • Kelly K.

    My husband and I arrived here during busy brunch time and wait time wasn't so bad (~10-15 mins). My husband ordered the loco moco and I ordered the Polynesian omelette. I'm from NY and my husband is from Oahu, and for a guy from Hawaii to say this loco moco is the BEST he has had...that says a lot! My omelette hit the spot--KIM CHEE was a great add on for texture and acidity. And the coffee--strong and full of flavor! Highly recommended!

  • Monica C.

    We came across this place while looking for somewhere to have breakfast and we made the right choice! They were quite busy and we had to wait for a table, but it was worth it. I had the banana pancakes, which were very tasty, and the hash browns were some of the best I've had anywhere. I told our waitress that and she said she's heard that from other customers. If you're looking for a great place to have breakfast in Kapaa, look no further than Kountry Kitchen.

  • Cora B.

    The food was amazing. Timely, hot and very tasty. We were told we couldn't have a both as they were only for 4 people. As I looked around, I saw 5 of the booths with only 2 people. So, I asked the owner a second time for a booth and she hesitated and said they are reserved for parties of 4. I replied, well, I see 5 Botha right in front of me with only 2 and there were 2 booths available. Reluctantly she did agree to give us a booth. To boot, a large party came in and she would have had to move us had we actually sat at the table she wanted to sit us at. All worked out I. The end but, it was a bit off-putting. I would go back. I do understand that she needs to seat as many customers as she can with such a short schedule but, there was seating available. And, the food was delicious!!

    We have eaten here twice and it is awesome! Service is great and the people are friendly. We couldn't think of a place for breakfast so we just came right back here and its well worth it.

    My gf and I got in to Kauai at 6:00 in the morning, and went to find something to eat. There wasn't much to say, it was a good breakfast, but nothing that blew us away. It's a nice little place to eat, and a very chill atmosphere. The service was good, and the people were friendly.

  • Bren H.

    I had the egg sandwich on English muffin with tomato, Cheddar cheese and Portuguese sausage. Delicious! It was a little greasy but there was cheese and sausage!! I got hash browns. They were good (I should have gotten fresh fruit but I was in the mood for hash browns). I had a bite of macadamia nut pancake and coconut French toast. They were pretty good (the friends who ordered them said they were delicious). Our waitress was great and friendly. Prices were a little expensive but not too far out of line for other places in the area. Service was pretty quick, even though the place seemed pretty busy. Parking is across a kinda busy street (cars were good about letting peds cross).

  • Russ W.

    We had our fill hear. The food was really good but a bit pricey, as is the whole island. My wife enjoyed the macadamia nut and coconut pancakes that came with bacon, eggs and papaya. Kids had french toast and pancakes. Coconut syrup was delish. Coffee was good; however it must have been strong as we couldnt sleep that night. Only reason it isnt a five start is cause my wife, two kids and I was $59.

    The Reviews were spot on with this one...I was so stoked to be seated and see that syrup bottle filled with coconut goodness. Perfect taste (not excessively sweet) when poured over the mac nut and banana pancakes. Our son had the kalua pork omelette that included grilled onions, spinach and cheese....delicious! We spent a great day snorkeling with Captain Andy's and Bryan our boat skipper told us this was the best breakfast on the island...he was right!

    One of our favorite places to have breakfast on Kauai. Huge selection, huge servings, friendly staff. The pancakes are the size of a pizza. There might be a line on the weekends between 9-11am, but worth the wait.

  • Trisha T.

    Came here for breakfast the other day (before the rush!) and enjoyed it. I'd say it was good but not amazing. The luau omelette (Kalua pork, cheese, spinach, etc) was pretty bland. The loco moco's eggs were over cooked so I didn't get that nice runny consistency you always look for in a loco moco. Otherwise the gravy was good, and that's what's important! Lots of chicken art on the walls. Just so you know. :-)

  • Maranda S.

    Worst breakfast I have had in my 4 weeks in Hawaii. Omelet was extremely greasy and Mac nut pancakes had no flavor, the 2nd star is to give them credit for being generous with the Mac nuts. We were only in Kauai two days of our trip, but I can tell you it is the worst island to find a good meal..

    Such an adorable restaurant. We sat down and shortly after the original cook from when the restaurant opened in the 70s sits near us. Such a cute little old Filipino lady. The place is fairly big for a breakfast spot and the service is great.

    This is a nice little place for breakfast and lunch in Kapa'a. We had breakfast here after a run along the beach so we were pretty hungry. It was busy with a line out the door, but we only had to wait 10 minutes before getting a nice table at the window. I ordered the Hungryman Special breakfast with Mahi Mahi and my wife ordered a mushroom omelet. Both were delicious. The Hungryman is HUGE and even at $17, a good deal especially when ordered with the 12oz fresh grilled Mahi Mahi! I was a hungry man that morning, but I still had to concede half my Mahi Mahi and half my hash browns to my wife. It also comes with juice and coffee gratis. The mushroom omelet is for mushroom-lovers only! - it's absolutely packed to the hilt with mushrooms - there must have been a full half-pound on there. The coffee is fresh, hot and free-flowing. Overall a yummy breakfast with friendly service and reasonable prices. We'll be back next time we're in Kapa'a. Maybe we'll try lunch next time.

    BF and I just landed here in Kauai and hopped on a bus at 7:30am after flying in from Oahu. The bus dropped us off magically in front of this gem!! Such Ono grindz. The friendly sweet hostess showed us to our table and immediately asked if we wanted coffee. That's two thumbs up in my opinion. No wasting time, get to the point and get your guests started on coffee that's brilliant!!!!!! I ordered a Swiss omelet, hash browns and cornbread! BF got eggs and bacon and cornbread too!!! Love the fact that they serve cornbread for breakfast! This southern gal loves that!!! I wish they had more than one bathroom but other than that, awesome service, friendly staff and great food!!!!

    Cute spot just 20 minutes away from Lihue! We had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table but it is well worth the quick wait. I ordered a banana chocolate chip pancake which was the size of an entire plate! It could easily feed 6 people and it was AMAZING! My husband had a ham and cheese omelet with hashbrowns and cornbread. All good but I definitely recommend getting a pancake for the table!

  • Erica L.

    It's not much to look at on the outside but the food is great! My son got the Elvis pancake (a 14" pancake with crunchy peanut butter, bananas, macadamia nuts and whipped cream) I got the sampler with French toast. Papaya is the seasonal fruit. Scoop out the papaya, put a little butter, papaya and coconut syrup on the French toast and it's amazing! Germaphobes beware though. The restaurant and items within aren't especially clean, there was someone else's lipstick on the coffee cup, but the food and atmosphere is so good I'd go back any time!

    First of all, I love that it's not super-touristy, just some really good eats. The hubs and I shared the coconut french toast based on other reviews, and it was as good as folks said. We also shared the pulled pork sandwich. Oh man. This is what pulled pork should be like all the time. Delicious! I'm so sad that during our trip, we only stopped here once. If (when!) I'm ever in Kauai again, I will be going back here.

    Seriously, this was one of the highlights of my week-long trip to Kauai, lol. My friend and I looked forward to eating here and we ate here around 5 times in total. I fell in love with the macadamia pancakes and the coconut syrup, I can't even describe how good they are- FULL of macadamia nuts. My friend was obsessed with their chocolate chip pancakes. We both got the breakfast samplers with our eggs overhard with some papaya or pineapple on the side, yummmmmm. We also tried an omelette (was it called the denver? i don't remember, but it had potatoes, sour cream, and HUGE slices of crispy bacon inside)- they make omelets the RIGHT way, this ain't no Denny's omelet, people.

    Yummy! Maybe the best stuffed French toast I've ever had. My husband had an omelette with Kalua pig and he was overly impressed with how much meat was actually in the omelette. We only waited to be seated about 15 minutes and food came out fast. Only cons was how hot it was inside. It's a very hot and humid weekend so not really their fault. Prices seemed a little hight but manageable. I'd still come back next time I'm in town.

    My first time ever to the island of Kauai, let alone driving from Lihue to the North Shore. Since my friend with me has a little experience on the island she recommended that we stop and eat along the way. She busted out her handy Yelp app and started searching. This place was our first choice, mainly for the breakfast food. I ordered the french toast with strawberry and some bacon (mmm bacon!) and my friend ordered an omelet. Boy was the french toast delicious! The strawberry puree-ish sauce that came with it was a perfect combo and complemented the bacon so well! If I'm ever on Kauai again this would be top on the list to stop by and show off to other friends! I also really loved the decor, very homey and country. True to the vibe of the entire island.

    Best breakfast in Kauai, hands down. The inside is not very large, in fact it probably fits around 40 people total, and when we arrived we were about 7 groups back from being seated. Imagine our surprise at getting a table within 25 minutes! It was immediately apparent that they value service, price, and speed as our orders were taken right away and we received our food within a very reasonable amount of time after ordering. I had the Loco Moco with with Kahlua Pork, and barely was able to finish it. I didn't try the pancakes, but our neighbors ordered a double stack and they were huge! We will definitely get them when we come back. Two breakfast plates and coffee was around $30, with substitutions on some of our items. Very highly recommended.

    Kountry Kitchen is a house-like structure with large opened windows. The breeze, car noises and the chickens remind me so much of my childhood in the Philippines. Kountry Kitchen wasn't part of the itinerary but we were drawn in by the long line. T'was a Tuesday morning and we needed our first fix of Hawaiian goodness before driving up to Princeville. We ordered the loco moco with a side of steak. For drinks, we had local Hawaiian coffee (Mmm) and generic green tea from Costco. The loco moco came with fresh to-die-for corn bread. Soooo yummy! The steak was a little bland but we fixed it with a dash of salt and pepper. After reading all these reviews, I definitely wish we had more time to try the pancakes and french toast.

    Delicious breakfast fare with a Hawaiian twist! The mac nut pancake was amazing! Not to mention, bigger than my head! Yes, you get just one pancake because that's all you need. Loved the soft, tender, and fluffy texture of the pancake. And, what's not to love about anything with mac nuts? The coconut syrup is great, but all you need is just a drizzle. My husband's omelette was really good as well. Can't remember the exact one he got, but I remember it had kahlua pork, and it was oh so tasty! Service and prices were average. Definitely worth a stop for a excellent and filling breakfast.

    Kountry Kitchen was our first stop when we landed in Kauai for breakfast. We came on a Sunday morning and the area Kapaa is so cute to walk around while you wait for your seat to be ready. I ordered the loco moco with the kauai pig and friend rice! So great! Their coffee is really good and we also got their chocolate chip macadamia nut pancakes! This place makes some really great food and I would recommend stopping in for breakfast while you're in Kauai! It's a very mom and pop place and I would recommend it for visitors! The staff here were nice and attentive even when they were busy and it feels very homely.

  • Tony R.

    Spectacularly tasty ( and expensive) breakfasts. The ambiance can best be described( imho) as "a bit on the claustrophobic side". Service is always spot on, and the lone fry cook dishing all of this out: I still wonder how they keep all the orders straight, but they do a terrific job of it! Parking is rather limited: very little street parking, some parking at the beach park across the street, and even less parking on the left side of the restaurant. And, expect to TRY WAIT! There is always people waiting to get in. If you want to eat and run...try somewhere else...like Mickey D's or ABC Store, cause there ain't a restaurant on Kauai where you can do that! Eating together is part of the culture on the garden isle. We do not do it quickly, but we love to do a LOT of it! If you're visiting, and Breakfast is your thing, check it out.

    Rocking breakfast during our road trip up-island. Sat right down and scoped the menu. We had the French toast (macadamia) and the hash, both were fresh and tasty as was everything that came with. Cool vibe and very attentive staff. Felt very local.

    The food was so so. The waiter staff was nice, but seemed extremely rushed. The restaurant was busy, but still should be no excuse for poor service. We weren't impressed with the food. My wife and I both ordered variations of the French toast. There is nothing worse than French toast where the inside isn't cooked and it's still gooey. The pieces that were cooked were very good. The flavor was great. They also forgot my wife's hash browns. They weren't brought out until we were all done and the check had been placed on the table. And they still charged us for the hash browns. We definitely will not be back. There are plenty of other great breakfast spots on the island.

    This place is overrated. We chose to dine here because Art Café Hemingway (next door) was closed. The best thing that this place has going is the spam, eggs, juice, and fresh papaya. With all that said, we ordered the sweet bread strawberry French toast, the mahi mahi & eggs, side of spam, fresh papaya, fresh pineapple, pineapple guava mango juice, and coffee. The French toast was average, we both give it three stars. It was bland, moist, but bland. Thank goodness for syrup. Another reviewer mentioned that the coconut syrup was okay and we agree, so we went with regular syrup. The mahi mahi, although relatively cheap in comparison to stateside versions, was very much worth the price. We had the 16 oz. which came as two thick slices, with two scoops of white rice, burnt toast, and soft scrambled eggs. The mahi was as bland as it gets, and even lemon couldn't save the dish. It was moist though, so properly prepared, but no flavor at all. The toast was burnt, but the couple of not burnt bites were tasty. Maybe that too was sweet bread??? The eggs were prepared as ordered, and they did a good job with that. The rice was nothing special. The spam was unique in that each flat side was half burnt and half undercooked--like half of each slice was on a burner line and half wasn't. The fresh papaya was deliciously sweet and worth every penny. The pineapple could've been prepared with more care and cleaned with more effort. If you're looking for something like the aforementioned then dine here, otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this place for anything other than burnt spam and rice. Service was decent but nothing too aloha. $50

    We stopped here for breakfast before heading to the airport. We had the Portuguese sausage & eggs...delish! We also ordered their cinnamon sugar French toast...devine! Their coconut syrup was awesome, it wasn't too sweet or coconutty as other places. We'll definitely go there again if we find ourselves in Kauai gain. Prices were cheap too.

  • Sheila M.

    Decidedly mediocre breakfast. Service was amiable enough, but nothing personal. Luckily I asked for half and half, because it turned out the only creamer on the table was non-dairy creamer! They didn't have half and half, but the waitperson brought us some whole milk. We wanted relatively healthy, so stuck with omelets and hash browns. Came with a tasty piece of cornbread. But without even finishing either the omelet or hash browns, I found myself still trying to digest it several hours later. Meh.

  • Steph R.

    One of my favorite places to eat breakfast with friends! The food is amazing. My favorites include the macadamia nut pancake (which is the size of a dinner plate & delicious with the coconut syrup!), the garden benedict (excellent choice for vegetarians or you can add ham/turkey), fresh mushroom omelette, & the strawberry sweetbread french toast. I don't eat red meat, so I'm so happy that the variety on the menu is plentiful. The service is excellent, as always. Everyone who works there is super friendly. The items on the menu are reasonably priced. Consider yourself warned, the portions are HUGE. However, you can always get a box to fill in your leftovers! I 100% recommend this restaurant!

    If you're a local, then you already know about KK and if you're a visitor with a cell phone and a Yelp app , then you're on the way. This place gets busy for breakfast and with good reason. It's got a wide ranging breakfast menu that hits all the favorites, it's easy to get to from just about anywhere, the ambience is classic Hawaiian kitsch, and the wait staff is like family (the ones you like, not crazy Uncle Harold). Prices are commensurate with the island economy, but portions are generous and the tastes are great. I'm partial to corned beef hash and KK's version of this classic is almost unbelievable. Too, don't miss the crispy has browns or the light, sweet cornbread. I double dog date you not to overheat and walk out happy you did. Don't miss it!

    Excellent food- the luau omelette was spectacular. They have thicker (almost Texas style) toast, and served with guava jam. The fresh fruit today was papaya, and it was perfect. The luau omelette had a substantial amount of kalua pork, and was seasoned perfectly. Location is pretty good, although on the mauka side of the road.

    Living on Oahu and having enjoyed visits to the island of Kauai and "Kountry Kitchen" for more than thirty years, I am sad to find a newly renovated "un"cozy establishment that has lost all of it's 'old Hawaii' kind of charm. I disagree that the food is just as good. We were VERY disappointed when visiting this summer. I do agree that MOST of the staff is great, but the young boss has a young "pet server," whom my husband & I were most unhappy to have been served by* (*so to speak). Had we not been sitting in the only cool spot in the non-AC'd restaurant on a sweltering HOT & HUMID morning, we would have asked to be moved. I accidently spilled a glass of water and our server looked over as she sauntered by, but did & said absolutely NOTHING. All other servers were VERY sweet & quick to help as needed. Sadly, with our non-attentive server, it was needed more than we would have liked. Those at tables around us were complaining as well, and we noticed two tables/guests had disappointing food items removed from their bill. Also, the restaurant now is just an open box, devoid of any of it's former comfort & charm. It definitely now would benefit from new (far more experienced) management ... and, ideally, by bringing back the old, great cooks out of retirement. ;-) They definitely need to ditch the cornbread recipe now being used. My family & I plan to stick to nearby Eggberts' great food & service in the future, along with the yummy $2.50 mimosas served there daily. The restaurant at "The Marriott Courtyard - Coconut Beach" also offers a nice alternative. Breakfast ends there at 10 a.m., but makes up for it by offering a "kamaaina rate" to residents of Hawaii. A-L-O-H-A!

  • Niru L.

    Very sorry to do this but this was such a disappointment. We went there on Sunday the 22rd. Food was sub par. The brown gravy tasted like nothing but salty brownness. The Kalua pork on the loco moco was also not good (go to Pono market for their Kalua pork). But the worst situation was the service. We waited easily 40-50 min for our food. And it was not because the servers were not working hard..well all except one, the young man who I couldn't even tell if he was working there. He was such a sham. All the ladies were busting their behinds and this guy was taking double the time they were to clean a table or get someone water (I think that was all he was supposed to do). I felt bad for the ladies. He would take breaks after cleaning a table and go outside and look around and this was Sunday so people were coming in every five minutes. I felt like one of those TV shows needs to come to this joint and help reorganize them a bit and vitalizations their menu because it looks like they have a history of being really good and I wonder if people just go there because of that and because they want to keep supporting them but someone's gotta tell it to them like it is so they can clean up their act. The hostess was really really good as were the women who served and my stars are for them and them alone.

    Kountry Kitchen is a great place to get a quick bite to eat in the morning if you are getting an early start! The food was ok! It's breakfast food so you get what you get! It was cooked good but not something you can't get anywhere else! The service was tremendous though. Very polite, very attentive, and very fast service.

    My search for a decent omelette in HawIi continues. I had high hopes based in the reviews here but was very disappointed. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette, very safe. What I got was diced ham covered with a the layer of egg with a slice of American cheese on top. Yuk. I needed something to improve this mass so I asked for some salsa. The salsa was good, but more on that later. Oh, I am not eating carbs at the moment so I got fresh fruit instead of had Browns or rice. I'm in Hawaii so fresh fruit is usually something pretty good. Instead I was served a single pealed banana. Pathetic. At least the coffee was good and the service was prompt (although it was early and almost empty). The bill came to $18.75. They charged me $1.50 for the salsa. Salsa should be a condiment. All in all I can't recommend although the pancakes looked big and tasty.

  • Levana L.

    I highly recommend Kountry Kitchen for breakfast. The food is good and the service is friendly and fast. The Loco Mojo with pork was one of the most delicious and satisfying breakfasts that I have ever had. It's definitely for meat lovers and the portion size was significant. They also had excellent looking sweet breakfast options though if you don't eat meat. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that my husband's spam omlette was meh. But it was as advertised. He just chose poorly. Pro tip: We got there rather early and got a table right away at 7:00 am, but when we passed by an hour later, there was a line out the door.

  • Paige S.

    Tips: Come after the morning rush and wait was less than 15 minutes even though the restaurant was packed and the line kept growing Location: North part of Kapaa, across from a cute little beach. If you're heading north, its on the left hand side. Parking: As we were driving north to the restaurant there were signs on the left side of the road for small parking areas before and after the restaurant for parking. Ambiance: Island Country Chic with lots and lots of Kauai's favorite animal - the chicken-- all over the restaurant Service: We arrived at the restaurant around 10 on a Monday, as expected the line outside was long but seemed to be moving. The server who took our name and check us out was friendly and efficient. Our personal server did not seem like she was having a good day, did not care to explain the menu and failed to mention that they were charging us per cup of coffee (which is usually complimentary at other locations...maybe just not in Kauai?) We asked her several questions about the menu and she flat out told us "it tells you on the menu right here" and point to the menu....----thanks lady, we got that. Other than her, everyone else was friendly, and polite. What we ordered: I ordered the sampler platter which came with 2 kountry cakes (Kountry cake is just a regular buttermilk pancake-- which i added banana and macadamia nuts to) 3 eggs scrambled, 3 pieces of bacon and half a papaya. This was a decent platter and id order it again, the eggs were good, bacon was crispy and the papaya was awesome. Their crown jewel at this breakfast stop is most definitely their pancakes! They are large, fluffy, light and PACKED with flavor. I'd love to know their secret because these were sooo good! They had giant chunks of banana and lots of clusters of mac nut. Eaten with coconut syrup and you have a perfect combo! Must order! My husband ordered the "hungry man" which gives you several choices and he chose 3 scrambled eggs, half a papaya, 8oz steak and corn bread. If you've been reading my reviews, you know how much I stress just how much food it takes to feed my husband, he is by no means a small man. We asked the sever several times if the hungry man was big and she said it was big and that we should read the menu, it says how big it is. --- well. Its not big, Maybe its the combo of what we ordered but I think they should add a side of pancakes or french toast and it would def. make this a real hungry man meal. My husband was barely satisfied eating his meal. He says the eggs were decent, the steak was nothing special and the corn bread was okay. We thought it would have been nice if they served the corn bread with kauai or at least hawaiian jam/jelly. He suggests ordering something different if you're really hungry. What you should order: Their pancakes! banana mac nut kountry cake with coconut syrup! !!! do it! They are awesome and we both were highly impressed. We cannot recommend anything else on the menu and we hope that you get a sweet server to help you choose something good :) banana mac nut kountry cake with coconut syrup! !!! do it!

    This place is AMAZING!!! Great local spot just on the edge of historic Kapaa. Service is fast but the place does get crowded on the weekends, so be prepared to wait (it's well worth it). The first time I went I had the kahlua pig omelette. The second time I had the banana mac-nut pancakes with the coconut syrup, and the third time I had the loco moco. Everything was amazing! I typically don't come back to a place twice on vacation, let alone 3 times! The restaurant is clean and has a fast turnaround, overall I highly recommend it.

    Had to get breakfast here at least once while on Kauai. Got my favorite here - Loco Moco. Today my husband opted for the same. I got mine with Kalua pig and he got the traditional then we split it. Both were so good. Comes with toast or corn bread. We got cornbread and I topped mine with coconut syrup instead of honey. Perfection!

    Amazing!!!! My wife and I went for breakfast and this place was packed. Short wait, seated quickly, prompt service. I ordered the special which was tamale, topped with pork, topped with egg, topped with verde, and smothered in cream sauce. My wife got the sampler with coconut French toast, papaya, eggs and bacon, hashbrowns on the side (6 months pregnant). Everything was above and beyond our expectations!!! This place knows how to do breakfast.

    When we go on vacation, we're always on the lookout for something new. Kountry Kitchen isn't where you're going to find it. It's really a shame as all the elements are there for this place to be incredible. If you're in Kauai and you really want that dependable place to have a meal just like you can have back home (assuming you're here from anywhere in the U.S.) then this is your place. Standard omeletts, eggs and meat, patty melts, etc can all be had here. It's good, but it's nothing that you can't have somewhere else. When we come to Hawaii we look at all the spectacular ingredients that chefs have access to. Exotic fruits, meats and fish, veggies, etc. why not incorporate them into some of the dishes to put a Hawaiian spin on old classics. My one big thing that I always look for is a signature dish. What is the meal that a chef wants to make. It doesn't have to be a Michelin restaurant to have a signature dish. Every chef, IMHO, should want to make a statement. This chef is good at comfort food, so why not go nuts with it?

  • Sayddie T.

    If it wasn't for the good service of the other waiters and waitresses I wouldn't give 2 stars, our waitress was rude, making jokes that were insulting. My omelette was over cooked, my dad's pork chop was dry and over cooked, my grad uncles steak was dry and over cooked, and my moms pancake was burnt. My sisters salad was a piece of lettuce and a tomato kinda like it was meant to put on a burger, the cornbread was too dry as well, usually I'm not one to waste food, but it was seriously that bad. And the total for our bill was $85 for poor cooking. We won't be coming back.

  • Nina S.

    This place was good! We came here for breakfast and since it's a tiny place it was absolutely packed. We waited outside in a covered area for about 20 minutes. Once we ordered, it felt like our food too a long time but it was delicious. It was expensive compared to what the same meal would have cost back home but that's expected.

    The waitress runs away forgetting half the order for four people...comes back to inform they are out of the fried rice for the Special of the morning's Kaulua Pig Loco Moco, no whipped cream for the Macadamia Nut pancakes...They were very Sorry when we left...we were too for wasting our last Breakfast in Kauai on them

  • Jessica G.

    The macadamia nut pancakes are the best. Anyone with a sweet tooth will enjoy them. They're big and the pancakes are filled with macadamias in every bite. Paired with the coconut syrup... Ahhhhhhhhh. I don't have much of a big appetite when I'm on vacation and don't normally eat breakfast because of the difference of 3 hours between home and Hawaii but when I got started on their macadamia nut pancake, I finished half. It's up there in my top 5 things I'll miss from Kauai.

  • Katie F.

    We heard that we had to come here for breakfast while visiting Kauai and we were impressed! The service was fast and very friendly. The Loco moco was good (not the best I've ever had) but it was good! My husband had eggs Benedict and said that they were great. Portions were huge! Great place, definitely go when you are in town.

  • A T.

    Three words....COCONUT FRENCH TOAST. OK, make that six if you add WITH COCONUT SYRUP. It was incredible. I was cherishing every single bite! The corned beef hash, apparently new to their menu, was also done quite well. It was a cute place but note that the location star on the Yelp map is off by a block and a half. We did a few paces up and down the street before finding it. Addresses are hard to locate on the buildings in that area, so look for a large fenced in grass area and its across from that. :-)

  • Alexis R.

    Great mac nut pancakes as big as your face and really fluffy! Top with rich, creamy, delicious coconut syrup, and you've got a great breakfast, after which I was full and ready to hike all day. The eggs and bacon with the sampler platter were standard but good. It's really the pancakes that I came for and they definitely didn't disappoint! Chalked full of lots of nuts. We got here right when they opened and of course there was no wait. We were actually the first customers of the day because we wanted to get a jump start on a long day of hiking. It was starting to fill out when we were leaving, and I think there is typically a line later in the day and during high season. The interior was very welcoming - it feels like where locals come and catch-up over coffee. Wooden booths and country decor finish out the place. We actually ended up taking a pancake home because we way over-ordered (portions are very generous), but it was still good heated up for breakfast the next day.

    Went here yesterday with a friend. First time ive been the five years ive lived here, and hands down the worst breakfast ive had (loco moco). Frozen pattie, instant or just plain terrible gravy and the waitress had no attention to detail on a small, simple order. I will not return here unless bribed. Food cost extremely low for what they charge. Why did we not go to eggberts? At least they're cheap, friendly, and serve $2.50 cocktails. Disappointed and bummed on the entirety of the experience.

    A great little local restaurant with a theme of chickens with a small number of tables and cozy booths and friendly efficient service. We arrived about 845 and were seated right away in a long booth that sat 8. We were 4 and there were 3 friendly locals on the other side who asked where we were from and made us feel welcome. Two in our group had the delicious egg sandwiches (you choose type of egg, a meat, type of cheese and a vegetable) which is also served with crispy hash browns or rice -get the hash browns. The other two had pancakes. There are several options for pancakes and I had macadamia nut with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Each order of pancakes is just a single pancake and it is thick and covers an entire plate. I wasn't able to finish it. Be sure also to try their mixed juice-very Hawaiian and good. We are already planning another visit before we head back to Minnesota-it's cold there so we can use the extra padding! We went there a second time during our visit and it was just as good. I tried the french toast this time which was good, but you really need to get the macadamia nut pancakes or egg sandwiches. One of the highlights of our dining on Kauai.

  • Amy C.

    One of the must do things on my HI list besides laulau, Lomilomi massage and poke is Macnut pancakes with Portuguese sausage! So happy that we made it here since we missed the breakfast menu because we woke up too late at another restaurant. My hubby had the loco moco it was yummy with gravy and tender rice, comes w a side of cornbread. I got the Macnut banana pancake w side of sausage. Delicious! I think it's better to get bananas on the side because it effects how well it cooks through the pancake, some under done parts. My pancake came out late and they comp me the pancake! Plus one star! What awesome customer service!

    This is probably the best place on Kauai for breakfast. the portions are huge!!! Their Loco Moco, fried rice, and pancakes are the best. And a real surprise is the corn bread with honey, or better yet, coconut syrup. Always a wait, but either go early or be prepared to wait!!!

We went at about 10am and the wait was about 20min. Not bad at all. We got seated and there are paintings on the wall that are sooo awesome! Awesome enough that one of my girlfriends bought a painting! The food was super tasty and came in huge portions! So so good!! I would definitely come back here again! The service was also VERY friendly!

    Great breakfast spot. Kinda small so expect some wait on weekends or when busy. Moves quick though. Menu is mostly american breakfast options and sanwiches, burgers, and pork chop or steak dinner options. Some HI additions like kalua pork, portugese sausage (very good), and mac nut pancakes. Got the sampler. Everything was great although I wish the french toast was not so soaked in syrup (got the extra strawberry option). Wife got the omelette with kalua pork, that was good. Came with rice and cornbread too. Wish the sampler came with rice, it could have been bigger. Still a great stop in the morning.

    Always friendly service even though the place was packed every time we came here. The sampler platter came with two large pancakes (we tried banana and macadamia nut) that tasted fantastic. The omelets are also very good too. Don't plan on being hungry by lunchtime the day you have breakfast here. You cannot go wrong here for breakfast, It's very busy at breakfast, so expect a wait on weekends.

    We stopped here on one of our last days in Hawaii. The ladies running it were really friendly and the pancakes (what they are famous for) were really good. I should have known better than to order Mahi Mahi at a breakfast place, it was OK. The loco moco and Elvis pancake was amazing though!

    The locals and tourists flock this place, along with a few other breakfast joins on Kauai like Tip Top, Ono's, Dani's etc. From all the hype and rave, you'd think it's food that will dazzle your tastebuds and be like none other. Well, it's not. And I totally didn't think that. It's good old, greasy comfort food. Omelets, hash browns, huge pancakes, coffee etc. From reading reviews and looking at pictures, I knew exactly what to expect walking in and it was just that. The host was really cheerful and nice. Our server, not so much. But she wasn't rude either. Fine by me. The food came out relatively fast. Ordered english muffin, coconut sweet bread french toast, garden omelette with hash browns, some coffee and tea. Yeah, there was way too much shaved coconut on the french toast, the hash browns tasted a little like oil, and the veggies in the omelette didn't have a vibrant color. But hey, this is a small hole-in-the-wall place on Kauai. It's as country as it gets, with no pomp and circumstance. I'd come back for sure. But not before trying the other breakfast places too to compare.

    Best Mac nut pancake I have ever had. I ate waaaay more than I should have. Also had a pineapple ginger juice that was amazing, had 3 of them! Coffee was also very good. Staff was nice, service was quick.

    Delicious EVERYTHING & super friendly service! Incredible INCREDIBLE macadamia nut pancakes! Worth the drive from princeville. Try the loco moco w/the Kailua pulled pork...YUM!!! Do not leave Kauai without eating here.

    Breakfast. Local. A short wait. Popular with locals and touristas alike. Luau omelette for me. Mahi Mahi and eggs for herself. Island casual. Kitchen chickens!

    Loco moco was ok, my burger was dry and well-done so not too flavorful. The gravy was good and made up for some of that but couldn't overcome the toughness of the burger, it was also kind of cold when it got to my table. The rice was perfectly cooked. Hash browns were quite good, crispy outside and fully cooked inside. Cornbread was also above-average. Our service was somewhat sloppy. Not bad but sloppy. Soda arriving after the main course was served, cornbread served after I'd finished my main, asked to get a topping on-the-side but it came on top, then when the 2nd attempt came out it had the wrong side dish. They were very nice about it and it didn't detract too much but it was a small hassle. Side note: the place was very cold. Like 65 degrees cold when the AC hit you. Outside was 75 and raining.

    A good popular place for breakfast. Expect a wait. The Loco Moco with Kalua pork is very very good.

  • Danielle H.

    The portions here are enormous, you should split! Sometimes my eyes are bigger than my belly and I over order, like today, but seriously I don't think we could of finished the Loco Moco if we just split it. HUGE! And my bf is a hungryyy man and he didn't finish. If there are two of you order the Loco Moco and 1/2 order of French toast and you will be good. Loco Momo - very interesting combo. One of those plates that looks gross but tastes heavenly... smothered in gravy delicious biscuits yum. Very heavy meal Coconut French Toast - the 1/2 order is even big and it's freaking out of this world. I usually want something savory for brunch but took advice from other reviews and so glad I did! Order this Do NOT order this: Cheesey eggs. It's like nacho cheese you get at movie theaters smothered on top and it tastes like chemicals. I didn't eat any of it. Luckily the Loco Moco and 1/2 order of French toast was more than enough to fill us up.

    We went for breakfast and had the crab oscar, worth every penny. The service was great and the food delicious. Very casual, just like being in your momma'a kitchen. It was very busy, but we were seated in less than ten minutes.

  • Angela A.

    This place was good but not 5 stars good. I had the Mac nut pancake which was...good but not amazing. I've had better on Oahu. My boyfriend had the loco moco. Gravy was good but the hamburger patty was tough and hard to cut into, as if they over cooked it. Service was good and only had to wait 15-20 minutes.

    This humble roadside diner in Kapaa is tiny, but packs a simple but filling breakfast punch and couples that with friendly service. The front of house is run by an army of breakfast wielding woman who move efficiently through the small space with armfuls of food. I ordered a country eggs plate, which came with fresh baked cornbread (served with butter and honey on the table) spicy (and salty) Portuguese sausage, and ripe papaya, which hit the spot for $9. My husband chose a generous, guy-sized omelette. The kids menu here included a perfect order: a giant pancake (chocolate chips or macadamia nuts, are optional), two strips of bacon and an orange juice. The kids combo that got big smiles. A fairly small interior, and a greasy spoon diner, but in a friendly way. An unassuming spot with simple food, literally on the side of the freeway (so not somewhere to drive to, out of your way) however if you are heading North or South on Route 50 and pass Kapaa anywhere in the vicinity of breakfast time, here's a solid option to start your day.

    As a tourist from San Francisco, I sort of have high expectations for brunch, and well my goodness do I love this place!! I came here on a Sunday morning for the second time since last year, and naturally there was a long wait, but the wait is so worth it. Finally seated with my large party of seven, I take a look at the menu and decide I want loco moco, however our server came over and told us about the fried rice omelette special they had going on. FRIED RICE OMELETTE?? WHAT. I could not at all decide and had to order last, I told my server, whom was extremely enthusiastic and a wonderful lady, and she suggested I get the loco moco WITH the fried rice. Needless to say my taste buds exploded and I was more than satisfied with my meal. On top of all the gravy goodness, I also ordered a macadamia nut pancake which (with their coconut syrup) was amazing amazing AAAAMAZING! Overall, I love this place and I will come back and visit this place everytime I come to kauai.

    A yummy and fulfilling brunch, especially if you love pancakes and bacon. The coconut syrup makes for a delicious topping. It's popular so expect a wait but it's worth it.

  • Sam S.

    We ate here twice while on vacation. We were seated promptly with a genuine smile. We were upsold the pancake, but it was well worth it. Our second visit we got smart and shared the special and had the plate size pancake. $20 for two of us and no leftovers. Again, they were efficient and friendly. Januart 2015

  • Laura M.

    This was a perfect "American" style breakfast with an island twist. We were seated immediately and had prompt and friendly service. After reading the reviews here, I ordered the macadamia nut pancake (adding coconut syrup!) and my husband had the Idaho omelette (bacon, hash browns, sour cream, etc.). As noted, the portions are large and could easily be shared for those with more meager appetites. The crunchy, salty sweet pancake of mine was complemented by sharing the savory omelette. Normally, I wouldn't have been able to eat more than half of the pancake but being that I'm eating for three (6 months pregnant with twin boys), somehow I managed. Our total bill before tip was $22.40, including tea for myself. Well worth the visit and we will definitely come back during our stay here!

    Bf and I had a breakfast feast here! We ordered corned beef hash breakfast and an Idaho omelette. Holy moly - so much food (which is not a bad thing if you are incredibly hungry or if you always eat your leftovers like me, hehe)! We chose cornbread to accompany our dishes and we each got a huge slice of warm cornbread with butter and jelly on the side. I'm pretty picky about my cornbread because I like it to be moist like cake with just enough grittiness from the cornmeal. Kountry Kitchen has good cornbread and I devoured it. Huge servings for such reasonable prices! The corned beef hash was FRESH corned beef chopped and fried up with hash browns and onions. Broke da mouth. Idaho omelette tasted like a loaded baked potato! It was very big and I only ate half in the restaurant, but it was great. Our waitress, Esty, was the sweetest lady! Talk story little bit each time she came to check on us. I enjoyed breakfast here a lot, and I also appreciated the homey feel of the restaurant. :)

  • Elizabeth C.

    AWESOME breakfasts await! I will admit that the evening before, we enjoyed one too many frosty beverages of the alcoholic variety, and so the next morning, we were in need of a good breakfast and plenty of coffee. We got both a Kountry Kitchen. There was about a 20 minute wait when we got there, but we sat outside with a menu, and the time went by very quickly. Once seated, the restaurant itself is on the smaller side, maybe 15 tables, but it's clean, bright, and the staff are friendly. We ordered a veggie omelette with hash browns, and a half order of the coconut french toast, and WOW it was good. I would definitely eat here again!

    Good restaurant out in Kauai. It was a bit heavy but the food satisfies. Would head out there for a meal prior to a major hike, if you know what I mean. It was one of the first restaurants I hit up after my first hike up the Sleeping Giant trail.

  • Layla L.

    Awesome place to eat. Pleasant service, friendly. You will have to wait....but its well worth it. Eggs Benedict, Cheesy eggs, One HUGE pancake, just to name a few are DELISH! A MUST ON YOUR VACATION ON KAUAI!

  • Alanni K.

    Eggberts is much better !!! The French toast is terrible ... My steak was cold ... I understand that's there super busy but they shouldn't put the food on the back burner per say ... Corn bread is good ... Coffee is great ... My one star is for coffee and corn bread

    (1)

  • Michelle P.

    Tiny little place! Get there early or you will be waiting! Had corned beef hash which was good and loco moco which is traditional and what you would expect. Cornbread was a little dry but good. Overall, pretty decent breakfast but not the best on the island.

    Super fantastic service, unique and delicious food in large portions, quaint quaint quaint atmosphere! I love this place and will be back to try more items. Damn good coffee! Polynesian Omelette was delicious - perfectly balanced with the kimchi and sausage. French toast was incredible. Hash was excellent too.

  • B R.

    Just finished breakfast here and luckily we got there at a good time and was seated immediately. We were seated by a more older-pertorican women, she was very nice and took our order within 5 mins. Breakfast was good but I'll have to say the orange juice I ordered was sour, like really sour, even the last time I came it was sour. Also the butter that came with the french toast I ordered was basically slattered on, it was nicely scooped on the side last time; laziness? They don't polish their silver-ware (they really should), the knive and fork they have as the setting was covered in water-spots (gross!) plus the spoon I had, had some brown thing stuck to the back side of it, I had to ask for a new one and all the waiteress did was grab one from the other table; more laziness? Well we finally finished our mediocre breakfast; waiting for the check for a good 30 minutes. I asked one of the other waitress (Esdee) for our check and she ignored me and said "No". We were forced to walk up to the front counter and explain to the so called "manager" Laura that we wanted our check. I told her that I asked for the check and was refused it, Laura just said "she's not your waitress". I don't know what kind of waitresses they have here but if our waitress is lagging to serve us and there are 5 other waitresses just standing around they should see if we need help and assist us instead of giving us attitude and ignoring us. Plus while we were waiting this couple walked in and Laura was waiving them down and showing them her 2 fingers instead of going up to them and asking "how many", No, she made them grab their own menus and was gesturing to them of the open tables. I've been eating here for over 2 months when I was introduced to this place when Deep Kauai was next door; service then seemed perfect then, guess since the renovation the workers are over worked, lazy, and just plain rude! I have to say that I definitly won't be back here and will not recommend this place to no one.

    I ordered the loco moco. I'm not sure how it would rate strictly by Hawaiian standards, but by Alaskan tourist standards, they nailed it. The burger was well seasoned and hand shaped. It tasted like it was cooked on a grill and had the right amount of char... The gravy seemed home made to me and had a great flavor to it as well. The eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The waitress was very friendly and on time with everything. I've had loco moco a few times on other islands, and this one is easily the best I can remember. I may come back to Kauai on this meal alone.

    Food was great. Service was fast. Portions were huge. I had the Idaho omelette which was awesome. Bacon, hash browns, sour cream, tomatoes. Great. My wife had the ham and cheese omelette which was very good also. Although I didn't order I saw the "pancake" which was huge and people next to me said it was excellent.

  • Ziyan C.

    Cute local spot with incredibly fast turnaround, but I was let down by the food. Love all the funny rooster art - definitely a befitting theme for the island: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… We arrived at 8:40am on a Sunday. There was a crowd at the door so we thought there'd be a long wait. They said it would be 15-20 minutes (which I found hard to believe), and we were sat within 10 minutes! Also, our food came out FAST - suspiciously fast, almost. But we ordered popular items - maybe they're just constantly being turned out by the kitchen. Might also explain the short wait. Our server could definitely work on her table side manner - she was just down to business, got straight to what we were ordering, I tried asking her how she was doing, and she all but brushed aside my question. Cost: $30 including tax/tip for 2 brunch items. Breakfast menu: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… * Luau Omelette (Kalua pig, spinach, cheddar cheese, onions. W/ hash & corn bread. $14) - 2 stars pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… cross-section: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… corn bread: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… I'm not sure why everyone raves about this, and their omelettes in general. Maybe it's that I'm from SF and am pretty spoiled by high quality egg dishes and brunch spots. But we both found this omelette to be overly heavy and oily, the pork to be dry, and the cheddar cheese to be completely wrong (too heavy & thickly coated on, completely wrong flavor). Plus the corn bread was terrible - dry and crumbly - and the hash browns, though had a nice crisp, were completely drenched in oil otherwise. * Flavored Pancake (I chose coconut & macadamia. $10.25) - 3.5 stars pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/koun… This is HUGE! Fills up a giant plate, plus is pretty dang thick. That and the unique flavor options, plus the coconut syrup at every table, make this at the very least worth trying. That being said, the quality of the pancake isn't too much to speak of - the macadamia was not distributed evenly at all, and the batter was somewhat dry, though fluffy (nothing a crapload of syrup can't fix, though!).

    KILLER!!!! The pulled pork omelet is amazing, the fried rice is wonderful and the pancakes were awesome. The wait can be a little long so go hungry, go early and enjoy this place... you won't be disappointed.

  • Lily L.

    This was a nice stop for breakfast on our way to the airport. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. I ordered the garden omelet with a side of salsa and a banana and toast. The veggies were nicely sautéed and it had good flavor. My husband ordered the coconut French toast, which was delicious! You can't go wrong with either of those items.

    Exceptional comfort food. Great coffee. Fried rice is like my wife's mother made, and cornbread is like my grandma made. We celebrate their memories every time we come here. The staff is great, efficient, and friendly. Love asking fellow dinners where they've been, and finding new places to explore.

  • TJ H.

    First off, a 40$ breakfast for 2 people and K.K. still cant afford Air Condition. Suggestion, invest in portable ac units, or screens on windows to keep bugs out. 20 mins after we order, they run out of rice. White, Brown and Fried rice. What local breakfast joint in Hawaii, runs out of RICE? Does Mcdonalds ever run out of fries... The alternative to rice was toast or hash browns and I chose hash browns with my "local Moco." The corn bread came out burnt, black and very dry. Even after using all butter and jelly and a few ounces of honey still dry! 5$ for dry cornbread = lose money. 35 mins after ordering, our food comes out and the hash browns were burnt black on-top and underneath. My plate was semi warm and meat was covered in salty brown gravy. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP HASH BROWNS? After delivering the two cold plates, the waitress must have clocked out cuz she never came back!! Also, after walking our bill to the register due to our houdini waitress I over heard another waitress complaining to customers about hating her hours and couldn't wait to get off. To sum it up, K.K. might run out of rice, burn corn bread, burn hash browns and consists of vanishing waitresses all while sweating in your seat while sharing your breakfast with the local Bugs. RIght on K.K. Mahalo Nui.

  • Lacey G.

    I don't know why the reviews are so positive. We get there, ask for a booth (since there were plenty) and the hostess said no, they are for reserved for 6 or more and parties of 4. We were a party of 2 and were not good enough for the empty booths. Sat at a table were my chair kept getting hit and watched another couple of 2 get a booth upon request 2 minutes later. Ordered 2 eggs, bacon and hash browns with cheese on my eggs. Well, I got charged $1.50 extra for cheese that was barely on half of my two scrabbled eggs. Used a spoon to eat it since my fork wasn't clean and had food on it. Was extremely optimistic for the cornbread because it looked great. Mine was! However, my fiancé's must have been cooked a different day because not only did it look different than mine, it was stale! Not sure how that happens. Not worth the $23 bucks, oh- and if you haven't realized it by now, the service isn't that great. I was very happy to get up and leave knowing we will not be coming back. Gave 2 stars because they are good at refilling waters and the eggs were good- you can't really screw up scrabbled eggs though.

  • Jeff B.

    Nothing but great things to say about the place. The food was fresh, the service attentive and the prices were amazing. I live in San Francisco and can't find a breakfast this cheap or satisfying. I didn't have the pancakes, but they looked great. My lone piece of advice, skip the toast, order a side of rice and throw on some of the homemade coconut syrup you'll find on every table. You'll be back I promise.

  • Montrew N.

    Can't say enough about this place. We are here every day but 2 of our 7 day trip. 1 day we had early boat ride. 1 day we tried onos just to try something different.....and went right back to Kountry Kitchen next day. Fast friendly. The macadamia but pancakes were bigger than your head. So good. We tried the omelette with kahlua pork spinach cheese and onions. Amazing. The pork is so tasty. The loco moco with pork was great too. So big. Fresh squeezed juices. Big servings. The last day the special was Kauai eggs Benedict. Oh my. Taro roll. Kahului pork eggs hollandaise. Oh my. Then this local lomi lomi or something like that...almost like a salsa with tomato onion and salmon on the top. Wow. Don't miss it.

  • Stephanie G.

    I really really wish I could give Kountry Kitchen more stars however the food nor the service did it for us. We waited approximately 45 minutes for a table for two. By this point we were starving. We shared an omelet of some sort and I feel like I should have saved our hard earned money and just did store bought bagels for breakfast. The omelet was super greasy and we both had tummy aches the rest of the day after eating. Flavor wasn't there, just slippery lips and hands. Good thing we have both vowed we wont' return to Kauai for many other reasons including this experience.

    Great breakfast spot! We stayed right down the road on our visit to Kauai and saw that this is a popular breakfast spot. We arrived around 9 am on a Sunday and were told it was a 30 minute wait. Not a problem as there were some cute shops next door. 25 minutes later we got seated. They have fresh squeezed juices and the pineapple juice was so good. Our meals consisted of the Idaho Omelette and the Banana Choc Chip Pancakes. They were awesome. The server was quick and attentive and we were out and on our way within 30 minutes.

    Yummy pancakes!!! :) The hubby and I came here on way to Princeville. The restaurant itself is located on the side of the road.. and inside, is very charming! Hanging on the walls are tons of clever paintings of chickens and roosters..(as so many of them are on the island).. chickens playing poker kinda paintings, and shelves filled with tchotchkes.. Great Hawaiian vibe! I had the chocolate chip mac nut pancakes!! Enormous portions!!! These pancakes are seriously bigger than your face! Also very generous on the chocolate-- making for ooey gooey delicious pancakes!! Great pancakes and totally satisfied my chocolate cravings!! The hubby opted to order off menu, make sure to check out the black board specials as you come in!! The patrons are a great mix of locals and tourists, but all in all, this I am DEFINITELY a fan!!!

    The Kountry Kitchen is a cosy home-style breakfast restaurant that makes you feel like mom is making you breakfast. Service is fast and sweet and best of all the food is pretty good. Their menu is pretty extensive so there is something for everyone's taste. Don't miss the Kountry Kitchen when you're on Kauai.

  • Tina H.

    There is a bit of a wait for your table and food but so worth it. I had the loco moco and it was delicious. The serving was huge and I probably could have shared with someone else. If you are sensitive to salt, the gravies and kalua pork are heavily salted. This place comes highly recommended from all the locals and I'm glad we found time to try it out.

    (4)

  • S Y.

    We were kind of ignored when we got here, but that was the worst of it. Once we were acknowledged - friendly staff, good portions and filling food. Standard breakfast staples, some with a touch of Aloha flavor; Kalua Pork omelets, HUGE mac nut/coconut pancakes with coconut syrup, spam and Portuguese sausage meat options.

    (3)

  • S E.

    Delicious breakfast. Good prices. We did not even have to wait for a table. I had a pancake flavored with shredded coconut with coconut syrup - scrumptious. My husband had a vege eggs benedict type meal with 2 scoops of rice. Huge portions. I took half my pancake home and had it the next morning, sadly without coconut syrup, but I had fresh pineapple. Do not miss the fresh squeezed juice. It was Lilikoi when we went and it was yummy. There were more things on the menu I would like to try. I will have to go again.

    (5)

  • Missus L.

    Love coming here every time we visit Kauai. What I love.... the fresh papayas mac nut pancakes - they are HUGE coconut syrup loco moco kalua pig omelette. Service is awesome too. Expect a long wait during the weekends.

  • Tawny H.

    Amazing! Fast and good service. I built my own omelet with Kalua pig, green bell peppers, onions, cheddar cheese.. So awesome! Then I added fresh pineapple on top. It was a party in my mouth fur sur! Hash browns were fine. Standard diner hash browns nothing that will blow your socks off. The kountry pancakes are BIG. I don't think you can go wrong with anything off the menu.

    If you're planning on bringing a toddler requiring a high chair, expect the wait to be a little longer than usual as there are only a limited amount of tables that can seat high chairs, due to fire codes etc. I understand there are certain rules to be followed for everyone's safety, but really, it took 40-45 minutes to wait for a table. They ended up seating customers who had arrived way after we arrived, BEFORE us. After a 45 min wait, we finally sit down at our table and we aren't given any menus. Okay, The workers look like they have worked there a long time, wouldn't you think it'd be in their nature to give us menus. Also, our waitress was not very welcoming either. She asked if we were ready to order, but before we even got to get a word out she walked away. Really?! Granted, we didn't look ready because we had our TODDLERS to tend to, but she could have at least waited for an answer before going to another table. We waited another 10 minutes for her to come back to take our order. Again, people who got seated after we did were able to put in their order before us. The food was good as usual, but their service was awful. That's why I'm giving them 2 stars.

  • Holly A.

    When we arrived it was super packed. About 10 parties before us. We thought the wait would be a lifetime but they were really quick and efficient cleaning tables and getting people in and out. The hostess was nice, not extremely friendly but she's a busy lady. She actually owns the restaurant. You can tell she puts a lot of time and work into her business. The food was great. We ordered eggs benedict with hashbrowns and bacon, and strawberry french toast. We will definitely return for breakfast again.

  • David E.

    I only know this for breakfast but everyone enjoyed it very much. The service was very good and very pleasant. I had to try the Loco Moco and was not disappointed. The Mac Pancake was also very good. We were lucky and had a short wait for a party of six. I will make a point of coming back anytime I am here.

    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!

  • Arun M.

    Kountry kitchen is where the locals eat!! I agree because there were so many locals there at 6 AM before sunrise. The ambiance is definitely nice for a breakfast place. They have a very nice view. Waiters are very good and attentive. They know what they have on the menu and very accommodative of customer's needs. We had ordered pancakes and eggs and it was just like they promised (country style). Food sustained me throughout the day while snorkeling and swimming in the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a very good breakfast before going on a day long hike, swimming or just for enjoying the beautiful day without worrying about food all day. This place is a little pricey and they definitely prefer cash.

    My husband and I had breakfast here twice during our 10 day honeymoon- amazing hashbrowns, the mac nut and banana pancakes with coconut syrup were to die for, but DO NOT GET THE EGGS BENEDICT unless you like fake hollandaise from a packet. I worked in a french restaraunt for 6 years - Kountry Kitchen knows coconut syrup, NOT hollandaise.

    Great place. Home cooked breakfast, fresh pineapple and payaya. Amazing cocunut syrup for homemade pancakes. Really good breakfast to start a busy day of sightseeing.

    The coffee was great as well as the service. I got the sampler special. It came with 2 eggs, French toast, and bacon. The food was very good. My husband got the loco moco with Kalua pork and it was fabulous!

    Solid Breakfast/Lunch/Brunch option is Kapaa. Many many things you can eat here but went with the authentic Hawaiian breakfast and the dish President Obama made famous, the Loco Moco. Besides being a lot of food, the Loco Moco here is 2 scoops of rice, 2 eggs, burger patty, gravy, and toast. Great dish but waaaaay too heavy for breakfast or any meal. However, worth a try, you are on vacation right? Also, had some of my GFs Macadamian Nut Pancakes.....verdict=amazing fluffy rich goodness. The coffee was also good and did the job of getting me up.

    Visited a handful of times just to give it a fair shot before posting my review. Waitresses are friendly. Atmosphere is great. But the food was nothing to yelp about. I tried 3 different types of omelets & the mahimahi platter on different occasions. The mahi was my first visit & was way over-cooked & rock solid. Normally I wouldn't return after a disappointing first, but because of all the rave reviews & great atmosphere, I decided to try it again. Each time I went it was the same thing. Overcooked meals. The worst thing I Tried was the Idaho omelette . Never again. It was pretty much an omelette stuffed with over-cooked hashbrowns :(. Really really wanted to love this place. Sad that it didn't work out.

    Make sure you get there before 9 if you don't want to wait in line. Had the Lau Omelet which comes with Kalua pork, it's really good! Had their loco moco too, not so great.

  • Vincent K.

    We were warmly greeted and seated by Laura. Wait staff were also friendly and helpful. Had to try the Polynesian omelet, what would be the point of being in Hawaii and order a Denver? Was a little apprehensive that the kim chee would be overwhelming, but to my surprise it was Amazing. Great place for breakfast!!

    Great food, good prices! Busy place but always had a short wait with the 3 times we went while on the island. Stop here at least once for breakfast.

    If you go to Kauai, and do not go to the Kountry Kitchen, then you should have stayed home! It would be an epic fail to not enjoy the TRULY AMAZING food here. We ate here every morning of our vacation and cleaned our (hugely portioned) plates each time. Staff is warm, funny, and friendly. Cheesy Eggs are the best thing I've ever tasted, hands down.

    This is a local Hawaiian diner but everyone wants to eat here including tourists like myself. The decor reflects the Kauai spirit, honoring the wild chickens and roosters. There's all types of chicken paintings on the walls for sale and many chicken figurines all over the restaurant. Service was great, as most places in the islands. Now for the food....2 words LARGE PORTIONS! I ordered the luau pork omelet which came with hash browns and corn bread. The bf ordered grilled mahi mahi with eggs, hash browns and toast. We also decided to try the macadamia nut pancake. Everything was very tastey, but this is not something you can eat every day for bfast unless you want to be a sumo wrestler. I highly recommend the mac nut pancake. Every single bite had nuts in it and the warm coconut syrup was amazing! Needless to say, we left with a doggie bag and had breakfast for the next day. Our total bill was $35.

    I don't understand why this place get 4 stars. It's only crowded due to good reviews on yelp I guess. There's ONO on the same street if you don't want to wait. Came here around 9+ and it was packed packed. It's my thing to order breakfast to go in Hawaii so I didn't mind the line too much. But if you plan on eating here, be prepare to wait! We then proceeded to ask the host if we could order it to go. Usually at most restaurants, they'll do it for you but not this host. He said the wait will be just as long. Wth? What's the point of ordering it to go then?!? Waited and waited and waited. We decided to ask the waitress ourselves instead because he would not take our to go order. Only ordered their luau omelet for 2 to share since I can never finish my own dish. This plate is big enough for 2 anyways. The pulled pork was not bad but there wasn't enough veggies! It came with hash brown and bread. HORRIBLE SERVICE. NOT WORTH THE WAIT.

    Don't confuse this place with the Country Kitchens on the mainland. This place was tremendous. A couple could easily share an omelet and a pancake and probably still have food left over. We plan on going back again very soon!

    A hearty place for a good breakfast. This place is packed everyday and you can obviously see why. If you're a visiting tourist like myself, pick up one of those coupon books to get 10% off Mon-Fri like we did. I got the Kalua pork and spinach omelet, something you can't get on the mainland and the husband ordered the pork chop and eggs. The omelet was yummy, the pork had a nice smokey flavor to it and the corn bread was soft and sweet. The husband wasn't wowed with the pork chops though, he said it was good but he said it was something that you can get and make anywhere. But the pancakes were AMAZING! Get the pancake sampler if you're here, chocolate chip, banana, and macadamia nut pancakes! I love love love the banana pancake Mmmmmm!

    Very good! The pancakes are about the size of a truck tire. Reasonably priced, very good breakfast in my opinion.

    This is a great place to stop for breakfast! Omelettes are really good and so are their giant pancakes. Great friendly service. Be sure to get the 10% off coupon from one of those guidebooks.

    Def. a must stop every time i fly home to kauai. The food here always makes me feel like im at home. Sometimes there a long wait but its worth the wait in my opinion. One of my fav breakfast spots there on kauai. Service is always good and friendly with very country styled art giving it a ceartin vibe that i do enjoy coming home to. Take a mandatory stop in if your ever in kapaa on the island of kauai.

  • J C.

    Would definitely come back here if I stay on the east side of Kauai! HUGE pancakes (plate size), attentive wait staff who regularly refill your coffee (too bad I don't drink it), family owned. Would definitely recommend for breakfast.

    A definite must visit if you are in Kauai. I ordered the Macadamia nut pancakes with some coconut syrup. I still have dreams about it!

  • Elle N.

    Although we went there on a Saturday morning at about 8:30am, we only waited at most about 10-15 minutes to get seated. Huge portions. The banana pancake I had was awesome. It was perfectly fluffy and tasty with chunks of banana INSIDE the pancake. (Awesome! I hate when restaurants call regular pancakes with slices of bananas scattered on top "banana pancakes". Sorry, that's just regular pancakes with bananas scattered on top.) With butter slathered all over my banana pancake and the coconut syrup drizzled over it, it put it right over the top. Just one pancake was enough to fill me up, it was just that huge! Ordered also a side of Portuguese sausage. It was very tasty but I wish there was more than just the five small medallion sized pieces that were included as a side order. Overall, a filling and very tasty breakfast.

    Staff looks annoyed. Quiet, unwilling to repeat their questions, uninterested in customers. Portions and food were good, just hard to get past the staff.

  • Naz D.

    Everyone raved about this place, so we went, and were not impressed. The food made up in volume what it lacked in taste and creativity (unless you just want to stuff your face). The service left much to be desired. They couldn't figure out who had ordered what, and I got served someone else's order. It's not a huge space...it shouldn't be that complicated!

    (2)

  • Nancy K.

    These pancakes are huge. They need to practice a little portion control. These are rediculous. We ate a quarter of what we ordered. Thirty dollars later we sorry we went there. The pancakes are the size of dinner plate. I just wish they would have mentioned how big they were. But yeah we could have asked too.

  • Evan K.

    It seemed like a typical ma and pop style resturant. The Kalua Omelette was delicious, and I think I would've ate my wifes pancakes if I could've, except the portions were HUGE! Good food!

    Great food, great prices, excellent service. Gets crowded, but it's worth the wait. One of my favorite places to eat for breakfast. It's a local favorite! The owners have a thing with chickens, the decor will explain it all...it's funny being that our island's bird seems to be the chicken :)

    The coffee was very good. The breakfast was not bad but it does leave you with the feeling if you have it one more time you will have significant heart damage. I didn't particularly like their pancakes.

    Found Kountry Kitchen thanks to yelp and it was so good we went there several times for breakfast during our stay. Everything we ordered had very generous.portions.and the service was good. My tip is to go very early and expect a wait, the food is worth the wait!

    (4)

  • Shaun L.

    Breakfast at Kountry Kitchen was among the better meals I experienced while visiting Kauai. The omelettes were delicious, as were the pancakes with macadamia nut sauce. They serve up some great coffee too. The service is fast and friendly and the price is totally reasonable for the portion you receive. I definitely recommend visiting here.

    (4)

  • Mary W.

    TERRIBLE!!! If I could give zero rating I would. To be fair the Kauai coffee is good but that is all we had. Three tables that arrived AFTER us were served because they knew the one and only waitress. We waited around 15-20 minutes and then tried to ask another busperson for help and she just grunted, glared, and gave us a dismissive wave. We left after that.

  • David V.

    came here for breakfast on a Sunday. arrived around 8 and was able to beat the long wait. ordered a banana and a mac-nut pancake. they were huge! and delicious. you could taste the freshness of the bananas used. my girlfriend had the sweet coconut french toast which she said were good but nothing amazing.

  • Ann A.

    Yelp let me down on this one--This place was a disappointment. If there is a wait here, I recommend going two doors down to the blue building--Hemingway Cafe. We stopped in at this place on a Friday morning; hostess said the wait would be about 20 minutes. Thirty minutes later, I peek in and notice there are three empty booths...5 minutes later, the hostess seats us in one of the still empty booths. Mind you there is still a line of people waiting. Once we're seated, No one acknowledges us for awhile, and then a harried-looking server stops by our table and says, "You know what you want?" No smile, no hello. She looks surprised when the SO asks her how she is doing today. I ordered the coconut sweet bread French toast--it was okay. Papaya was not very sweet. The coconut syrup was watery, flavorless; Eggberts at the Coconut Market Place definitely has better coco syrup. The bacon was on the verge of being burnt--even for me, as I tend to like my bacon crisp. It was difficult flagging someone down for a water refill. Sigh. I'm sad I waited to get into such a mediocre restaurant. This was also the most expensive breakfast we had on the island--so not worth it.

    My hubby and I had our first breakfast in Kauai here. We ate here today after waking up early to see the sunset at the viewpoint nearby. Corn Bread: Each table has a side of coconut syrup (white liquid in a syrup bottle). The bread comes out piping fresh and hot and it tastes so awesome with this coconut syrup! Polynesian Omelet: Omelet with KIMCHEE, Portuguese sausage, onions and cheese. Comes with the corn bread (or toast) and hash browns (or rice). I'm Korean, so this was a MUST TRY for me. Who would have thought to put KIMCHEE in their omelet? But it was GENIUS idea! It's not the fresh kimchee you get out of the jar, but tastes like the ones where you've been grilling for a while next your Korean BBQ or have been frying on the pan for your kimchee fry rice, so the taste is not overwhelming for breakfast. Loco-Moco: Also came with corn bread (or toast). This was good, but I think all loco-mocos taste pretty similar to one another. There was another option to substitute the burger for Kahlua pig for addt'l $4 - maybe we'll try this next to make it taste different, but it was my hubby's first time trying a loco moco so we had to get the traditional kind. Overall our meal came to $24 (including tip) and although I think it's a bit much for breakfast, I think it'll fill us up from 7am till 3pm so we're saving $ on lunch! =) Overall, thumbs up!

  • Tina L.

    Best food I had on Kauai (besides Duke's). We split a veggie omelette, hash browns, and corn bread. Everything was great. We stopped by around 6:30am. It was empty when we arrived, but started filling up with locals shortly afterward. I would like to have tried more of the items on the menu, but It was yet another place we didn't try until the way to the airport.

    KK is as good as a breakfast place can possibly be, and...here's the key...consistently so. I've never ever been disappointed, even when they're slammed. They don't have on days and off days, they are just always killing it. This morning I had eggs, bacon, papaya, and coconut sweet bread french toast...everything was perfect. Location is super convenient too. Just a solid, solid breakfast spot.

  • Jackie Z.

    WOW! Were you guys right! Husband got the Sampler special, with scrambled eggs, bacon, 2 pancakes and papaya with lemon. I had the pancakes because I had read so much about them. We both got the macadamia one and a banana one. They were awesome together. I've never had papaya with lemon before and it really brought out the flavor. The reason for the 4 stars is because when we received our bill they charged us $5.00 for 2 coffee's.

    better go before the RUSH. i tell you i love this place. located right on the side of the Road in kapaa town, you can't miss them. looks bigger from the outside from what it really is.menu is vast and service is welcoming! the staff there all worked there for years and all have heart at what they do. food- steak and eggs, omelette's make scade, and my favorite- their vegetarian Benedict! half or full. side fruits. toast. and anything you can think of having for breakfast they have it. a lot of options to make you back for more. hope you're not on a diet- be prepared to indulge!

  • Tiffany R.

    Mmmm... they had a char sui fried rice omelet. It definitely hit the breakfast spot for me. It was big and very flavorful. A little on the greasier side than I normally like it, but hey.. I'm on vacation! My husband had pancakes. He ordered 2 chocolate chip and one mac nut before he saw how huge it was. Seriously, each pancake is the size of a normal dinner plate. The coconut syrup was tasty, but we still preferred the maple. We went on our first morning so we haven't changed our internal clocks and were able to wake up early enough to get there when it opened. Try to get there early. By the time we finished breakfast all the tables were full and a wait was starting to form. Definitely will come back again if I come back to Kauai.

  • Phil B.

    Go here if you are in the area. I went in for breakfast and was thoroughly pleased. The service was prompt, the restaurant clean and laid back, and the food was very good. The coffee wasn't bad either. Parking kind of sucks (its limited) but that's the only complaint I had. The Macadamia Nut Pancakes were great.

  • Dorcee S.

    Kountry Kitchen - at the far north end of Kapaa on the mauka side of the hwy. Cute, small and kitchy with tons of stuff on the walls and shelves. It did not feel "Hawaiian" at all, but I guess from the name, it's not supposed to. Parking in front can be a real pain so park across the street. We were there on a Thursday morning about 10:30 and we were lucky to get a table before the rush (folks were piled up outside waiting). Good service great waitresses. It did take a longgggg time for the food to arrive, but we're familiar with "Island Time". Hubby had the eggs with Portugese sausage and hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were hashblacks on one side. I thought he would say something, but didn't want to since they were so busy - he picked the edible parts off. I had 2 mac nut pancakes - BIG mistake - should of ordered only one since they cover the plate and are heavy - way too heavy. Syrup choices are coconut or maple cold on the table. Coconut is real thin. $28.00 with 2 coffees and 1 apple juice. 3 stars photos: picasaweb.google.com/3Ch… picasaweb.google.com/3Ch…

  • Cody S.

    Quick Hit: good coffee (try it with the coconut syrup... seriously), good, food, big portions Not a very good first impression with the "host" flopping down 2 menus on the end of a table and walked off w/o a word... but at least they had no where to go but up. And they certainly did! My wife (on our honeymoon) and I ordered the "loco moco" and 2 pancakes (1 strawberry and 1 coconut). It was a MASSIVE amount of food. I can eat and there was no way we were finishing it all. The loco moco looked like 10,000 calories of smothered gravy and was darn good! The strawberry pancake was just a regular pancake with strawberries and whipped cream on top (also tasty). My favorite was the coconut pancake. Tons of coconut cooked in with the batter. Other "yelpers" got it right when they recommended putting the coconut syrup on everything. Good on both pancakes, corn bread and even in the coffee!

  • Max P.

    This was the 2nd breakfast restaurant we ate at while we were here for the week. It was good, but not as good as the first place we went to. Unfortunately, I had high standards after eating at the first breakfast spot. This was a good size restaurant, but we went during the wrong time. We had to wait awhile, and I was starving! I ended up ordering the Loco Moco for breakfast, it was good..but not great. It was huge though, but I'm not sure if i would go back for breakfast.

    Your standard greasy spoon faire. The macadamia nut pancake are the thing to get as everyone point, but they are a bit dense and not as light and fluffy as I like. Definitely use the coconut syrup on these.

  • Amy H.

    Excellent Garden Eggs Benedict. Well seasoned hollandaise sauce with generous portioned, crispy hash brown. Pancakes are as large as the plates. If you are a breakfast buff and are very hungry, this is your best visit on the island.

  • Gordon S.

    Had the macadamia and banana with the coconut syrup which was great. The banana add a nice moisture while the mac nuts add a wonderful texture. The coconut syrup was just the icing on the cake. What really stole the show for me was the Polynesian Omelette! An omelette with Portuguese sausage and kimchee? i am in heaven! I was worried that the kimchee would have been too overpowering but it wasn't. I am not sure if it was washed before added to the omelette but it had just the right amount of kimchee flavor for me. Awesome. Even my brother who doesn't like kimchee loved the omelette!

  • Jason A.

    This was the best place I ate while I was visit Kauai with my wife. We liked it so much, that we ate their three times in our one week trip. I recommend any of the pancakes with the delicious coconut syrup. I also really enjoyed the Idaho Omelette, it comes with tomatoes, bacon, sour cream, hashbrowns and onions all packed inside. They have to use atleast 4-6 pieces of bacon, there's so much of. Highly recommend this place if you happen to be anywhere near Kapaa for breakfast. Or just figure out a good reason to be in Kapaa around breakfast time.

  • Cheryl M.

    Overall pretty good cafe/diner type place. After asking to be seated near the window the hostess seemed a bit peeved so she reached over to throw our menus past the waitress and over the booth chair (they don't take well to mainlanders uppity requests)-minus one star. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette. It was huge and a little greasier than I'd like although stuffed with bacon and cheese. My Mom ordered macadamia nut pancakes. Fluffy yummy and filled with bits of macadamia nut. They paired well with the coconut syrup which seems watery but tastes great. My Dad's meal was filling and well made. My nephew (5) enjoyed his meal and had enough room in the booth to lay down when he was over it. Beware of the angry hostess if you make any requests!! In the end this restaurant lives up to Denny's with a bit of an Island twist. Add some local Hawaiians, a macadamia flavor here, a coconut flavor there and you got yourself a Hawaiian Denny's without the Logo. The meal was heavy enough to hold us over till later in the day and it was conveniently located on the main highway (most things are around here!). This is my third time to the island and my second time here. It's mediocre with a twist so I will be there again on my next visit while out and about.

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day...and let me tell you it's not just that - it's wikked yummie here too! Don't fret because there is a wait - it's well worth it. Service is prompt, the menu is diverse and even the coffee is good (not Dunkin Donuts good but good nonetheless) The view of ocean from the windows is worth it as well. Several hometown shops are nearby so you can do a little shopping after you eat (helps it digest)

    I heard a lot about this place from others about how great it was. I thought it was just ok. Yes, the coconut pancakes are good and the coconut syrup is probably the best thing at that place (not sweet at all) but eggs, bacon, omelette and other preparations were not good at all.

  • christina l.

    After reading the previous review by Heather, my husband and I went there for breakfast. The prices and portion are both good and the service was prompt. It's got your typical diner food here, but also some twist of the local flavors (such as loco moco, kalua pig omelette) I ordered the omelette that had kimchee, sausage, onion and cheese. I had a choice of hashbrown/rice, and I picked rice. Also had a choice of corn bread or toast and I chose cornbread. The cornbread came steamy hot! Just a lovely thing in the morning! My husband ordered a standard 2egg breakfast w/meat and also another side order of one pancake. My omelette was very tasty, and they gave me two scoops of rice. Oh yes, the cover of the menu shows a copy of a page from the Kauai Island Daily War Post (not totally sure if I remember the name of the post correctly but it's close) from December 22, 1942. It's a good read. Interesting stuff going on then. We didn't order coffee and my husband had an orange juice. The whole tab came to about $25.00. Not bad at all. I'd recommend checking this place out. Oh yeah, this place gets busy. We had to wait, but not that long, like 10 minutes. I think it's worth it.

  • Grant S.

    This place is off of the main highway, but unless you know what you are looking for, kinda easy to miss. The inside is VERY 1990's "Country Styled." The food was VERY VERY VERY (should I dare say EXTREMELY) GREASY! I love a "greasy spoon," don't get me wrong, but when that is all you can taste... I am not too happy. If this Kountry Kitchen is anything like my Aunt's Kitchen (where the family is 300lbs+) then I don't want to go here..... Once was fine, but not again.

  • Jessica D.

    So we visited here strictly based on Yelp reviews because I wanted to try the coconut syrup so badly. And I was not disappointed! I have the Coconut Sweetbread French Toast and it was so tasty. Freshly shaved coconut on top of the spongiest, sweetest bread, and all topped off with their coconut syrup. It's a coconut lovers dream! My boyfriend had their banana pancake which was so huge it could double as a spare tire, and he loved it as well. They serve cornbread with some of their breakfasts and it's really fresh. The wait was a little over 10 minutes, but well worth it.

  • Joy H.

    For some reason, I expected a tiny, dark hole in the wall after I read some Yelp Reviews. But when we finally tried Kountry Kitchen out, I found that it had a clean, homey feel to it. The patrons were a nice mixture of tourists and locals alike. It's smack dab in the center of the town of Kapaa, which is on the east side of the island. Both times we went for breakfast, we didn't get a seat immediately, but only had to wait no more than fifteen minutes. The servings were exceptionally generous and the prices fair. My daughter ordered a cheese omelet that spilled over the sides of her plate. They served some typical Hawaiian fare, such as spam, rice, and eggs, but they also had regular breaksfast items such as pancakes, toast and eggs. It was wonderful breakfast food; you can't expect too much from it. Each table had a container of a thick, pale substance; it turned out to be heaven in a (coconut) syrup. The syrup was not too sweet and melted smoothly into the buttered pancakes. The combination was harmonious to the taste buds. So much so that I ran to Food Land and bought two teeny tiny containers of the exact coconut syrup for a whopping $14.00 to bring home! On the way to Hanalei Bay, be sure to make a stop at Kountry Kitchen. It's definitely worth it!

    Macadamia nut pancakes were mind-blowing, but rich, so watch out. The coconut pancakes were very good too. The Kalua pig (side order) was amazing- crispy, with a great flavor. The atmosphere was nice. Came here twice in 2 days!

    One of the better breakfasts we had during our stay in Kauai. Clean restaurant, good food, but pricey (however pricey is a common theme in my Hawaii posts & it's to be expected, so eh). The pancakes were excellent, and we also had one of the daily specials, which was a bowl scrambler which had hash browns, eggs, chorizo, cheese, peppers, etc.

    We went to the Kountry Kitchen on our last day on the island for breakfast. It is so not what it looks like on the outside of the restaurant. It is very cute and charming inside. The food was good, nothing fantastic. My wife had the coconut sweet bread french toast which took her to "coconut paradise" after she added the coconut syrup. I had the macadamia nut pancakes which were very heavy and filling. I couldn't even finish half of them. OVerall, Kountry Kitchen is tasty for breakfast! Cheers!

    We went here a couple of times...all the Omelets we tried were delicious. Huge too. You could easily share a plate. I also love that there is a store next to it, so while you wait you can go souvenir shopping :)

    My wife and I were talking about this place the other night. It is hands down our FAVORITE place on Kauai for breakfast. The pancakes are incredible and the service is always nice. We've been to Kauai 3 times and eat here almost every morning for breakfast. I asked if she really liked the breakfast and her response was, "they could serve garbage and I'd still love it because we'd be in Kauai."

    Second time in Kapaa and second time eating here. This place is nothing special, but unfortunately it's the best out of all the places that serve breakfast. There has been approx. a ten minute wait each time I've come. The service is subpar in the sense that no one seems to have a personality there. It essentially is a place to sit, eat, and leave and you probably see you're waitress MAYBE a handful of times. The GF didn't receive her drink until after she got her breakfast. We tried to stop the waitress, but she COMPLETELY ignored us without saying a word. I know she heard us because about two minutes later she came by and asked what we wanted. It gets a three because the food doesn't deserve a two, but the service is probably a one.

    While visiting Kauai with friends, we had breakfast here two mornings. The wait for a table was short and the staff was always friendly and helpful. The portions were big and tasty. The first time I had the Kalua Pork omlette. The second time I had the mac nut pancakes. Both entrees were great and very inexpensive. Worth the trip no matter where you are staying on the island.

    Dammit! Coconut French Toast WITH coconut syrup? Ridiculous. Throw in the Polynesian omelette with Kim Chee and Sausage and you have sheer brilliance!

    Read closely: Cream cheese-stuffed French Toast with Pineapple Mango Jam. I have photos to prove it. Droooool....

    popular breakfast place. On recommendation from another "Yelper" I had the Mac Nut Pancake & a Banana pancake. Both were good...especially with the coconut syrup. I ordered the sampler with poached eggs,which ended coming out fried - Nevertheless, pretty good breakfast. My husband had the special for that day - char siu fried rice omelette...pretty good and char siu was not too fat. I would recommend this restaurant. Parking is a few doors down. (GPS gives wrong directions)

    Fantastic food! Make this a stop on your trip to Kapa'a! Stopped here twice while on vacation in Kauai. It was great both times. If you are a cocnut fan, get the coconut sweet bread French Toast! AMAZING! Try the coconut syrup too it is is delicious!

    Great breakfasts . . . However, be prepared for a long wait to get a table . . . and service is slow (even by Hawaiian standards).

    So good. I got kinda lost finding this place but we finally found it after asking a local, when we asked the local her response was "Can I go?" I had the sweet bread french toast with coconut syrup and it was the best french toast i've ever had, it was like eating a coconut glaze donut or something. The omelets were also good according to my family. The waitress was very nice and attentive and the location is great, ill probably go back for breakfast before i leave my trip

    Well, we were regulars at Kountry Kitchen and the food/service is usually good although the wait to be seated can be quite long. This morning was a major disappointment however. Our server forgot to bring a major portion of our order and side order, we tried for 10 minutes to no avail to flag another server down to inquire about our missing food. Our server only made one followup check (at the end of my partial meal) and we had to tell her about the forgotten order. It would have been better if she apologized and corrected the situation but she seemed baffle and said "you never get the other stuff? " instead of opps, I forgot, please forgive I'll get it right away. She was our only server, who else is supposed to handle it? Sorry, poor service and this wasn't the first time with this particular server. Really don't know why she's still there, I urged my wife Not to leave a tip but she did anyway out of guilt and FEAR that the next time she might mess with our food. Might not be a next time however. I was really, really bummed at the substandard service from an otherwise decent eatery. The food was so-so, but thats another story.

    Not sure what's up with the hateration from the recent reviews - we came, we ate 2 omelettes, we loved 'em! The Luau Omelette has kalua pig, spinach and cheese and was suckling-pig good. The Polynesian Omelette has Portuguese sausage, kimchee and cheese, and this odd blend was a wonderful medley to the palate. The place is a bit run down and homey, but that's part of the charm. Ok I know, maybe it's the 3 'K's in the name and locale that has people hating, but look past the initials, this place is good!

    In my opinion this is the place to come for breakfast! Came here twice and were seated promptly. I got the same thing both times we came and I am telling you not to pass up those pancakes:) I got the sampler which came with 2 eggs your way 2 pieces of bacon and 2 pancakes. You can pick the flavor of pancakes your choices are banana, coconut, macadamia nut and I think one other flavor that I cannot remember right now. I got the macadamia nut pancakes... they were awesome!! The service was fast and friendly and it was not over priced. Definitely give this place a shot!

    My husband and I came to visit Kountry Kitchen based on a recommendation from the concierge. The place was packed and there was a small wait which was a good sign. When we finally sat down, I took one look at the menu and got excited. I was torn between their kimchee omelet or loco moco. In the end, I went with a hamburger topped with an egg over a plate of rice and covered with brown gravy. It hit the spot in a million places. I don't even know what my husband ordered, i was so busy wolfing up my breakfast. Some kind of pancakes with fruit and he liked his equally as much.

    Okay...Great Breakfast....Pancakes as big as your head! French Toast was really good and they have Coconut Syrup. Good Large portions and reasonably priced. Look for coupons in Aston Aloha book and save 10%. Good Food and the Owner is really a nice guy. (I really want to see them flip one of those monster pancakes!!!)

    This is our favorite local go-to breakfast during our vacation trip in Kaua'i. Friendly staff, awesome food, especially their special, Fried Rice Omelette! This happen to be the special on our last day of our trip. I would've never thought of such combination had we not eaten here. And I was never a corn bread person, but this place has got to be the best place to eat corn bread! Corn bread + butter + honey + coconut syrup = OMG! It's freakin' heaven!!! We will surely come back here for our next visit to Kauai!

    Not a bad place for breakfast in Kapaa. An unlikely country style diner, a cross between island and Southern Living; it works. There are plenty of booths and the place keeps busy. The service is polite and prompt, but without any pretension. I had the cheesey eggs (see my photo) and my husband had the moco loco. What possessed me to get cheesey eggs??? I doubted my choice when I saw the bright, radioactive-like, orange, processed glow in front of me. Honestly, I could've skipped the cheese, it was too weird. But the poached eggs on top of an english muffing were just fine. The moco loco was drowned in a watery brown gravy and was average. You want a moco loco? Go to Mark's Place. All in all, the ambiance and food were fine, but nothing to write home about. PS. The restrooms are small but very clean and nicely decorated.

    Sweet coconut French toast with coconut syrup side of bacon and delicious pineapple. Yummy

    We took a chance and tried this place for breakfast based on most of the positive reviews we had read. I ordered the Loco Moco w/kahlua pig and my hubby had the Mac and Banana pancakes. The Loco Moco looked liked slop and the taste was not appealing to me one bit, I don't understand the rave reviews about this dish. Now the pancakes were definitely a different story, they were devine! We especially liked the Macadamia nut pancakes!

    I'm not a big breakfast person, but I enjoy Kountry Kitchen. The pancakes are HUGE. I never finish a full pancake. I love the french toast here and drizzle it with coconut syrup for an extra special touch. The last time I went the special was Pumpkin pie pancake topped with a caramel drizzle and whipped cream, that was different but yummy. If you come on the weekend for breakfast be prepared to wait outside in the hot sun, since the restaurant has no waiting area.

    This place is really popular and for good reason--this was probably the best breakfast I had in Kauai. The pancakes are amazing, and everything else was prepared really well. Be prepared for a wait.

    Great Breakfast spot! You get value for your money and the food is great. Came in twice to have breakfast and both times it did not disappoint. Best breakfast spot in Kauai by far!!

    Excellent macadamia nut pancake, large enough that I had to bring some home. Friendly service, reasonably priced. It was the perfect vacation breakfast spot.

    Best casual breakfast spot we visited on the island. But be sure to have a strenuous hike planned afterward to work off the tons of calories you will consume while licking your plate clean. We had french toast, the luau omelet, and corn bread. Everything was DELICIOUS. We were staying in Poipu so we only had the opportunity to stop here once during our stay the day we decided to spend sometime at the North Shore beaches. But if we had stayed in the area we probably would have had breakfast here everyday. Lots of good food at reasonable prices.

    I love good dive restaurants like this, where the portions are huge, the prices are good and you want to be hung over when you walk in because you know the food will make you feel like a million dollars. Get the pancakes, the french toast or the pig omelet. Can't go wrong.

  • Stacy A.

    If you are looking for a great breakfast this is by far the best place on the island. The portions are huge so order a half order.

    We had a nice breakfast at the Kountry Kitchen. The restaurant was very busy, but we had a short wait. I had the macadamia nut pancakes, and they were huge, along with an egg over easy and bacon. My hubby had eggs with Portuguese sausage and rice. Our food was delicious.

  • Evan B.

    Super yummy! Be warned: their pancakes are MASSIVE. I ordered two and only needed one. Their service is slow, they pretty much come and get your order, bring the food and forget about you. That said, their macadamia nut pancakes were incredibly fluffy and the texture was incredible. I would eat these pancakes again and again. There is a long wait in the morning, so be prepared or show up early. Also a little expensive. It's hard to do breakfast much better than this place does.

  • P D.

    Really big portions for the price and tastes good too. Exactly what we had in mind for breakfast on our first day of the trip. Well worth the drive from Nawiliwili. The pancakes are huge and the price is right. Average coffee.

    We didn't go go out to eat much while in Kauai, but we had breakfast here the first day of our trip & it was GREAT! We got there early (maybe 7:30 or 8) so seating the 6 of us was no problem at all. We didn't even have to wait! The staff was extremely pleasant (specifically the hostess) & the food was phenomenal. Should I ever get back to Kauai, I'll absolutely head to Kountry Kitchen to start out the trip again.

    My GPS couldn't find this place. Found it the old-fashioned way--using the addresses marked on the outside businesses along the road. Decor: Country themed and a little run-down looking. The food, the pros: The coconut pancakes were huge and fluffy and tasty. The coconut syrup was insane. The eggs (over-easy) seemed so fresh and flavorful that I wondered if they were straight from a Kauai chicken that morning. The food, the cons: Country Crock instead of real butter. Orange juice undoubtedly from a machine. Don't order the cornbread. I will definitely be back the next time I want to O.D. on sugary, coconutty pancake deliciousness. Or even if I just want an egg.

    Great food and great view! Had the luau pig omlet and the wife had the strawberry French toast! It was amazing and the portion are huge!! A must eat in kapa'a!!

    If you visit Kauai, this is definitely a family restaraunt I would recommend. The food is excellent portions (the pancakes are HUGE) and the taste is great. They have typical Americana fair with an island twist. I found I'm not a big fan of Portugese sausage.. but a moco loco can hit the spot juuuuuuuuust right. Parking is kind of sucky because it's right by several other businesses and it mostly appears to be a small parking strip and then street. Definitely worthwhile.. and inexpensive. Another thing that became much sought after after a while :).
