| Brick Oven Pizza: "Brok' the mouf" ~ "Delicious" | | |
| | ||
 |  on April 27, 2004 |
"The best pizza you will ever put in your mouth!" Not only the best on the island, but the best I have ever tasted anywhere! We get their pizza for lunch at least two times for every visit we go to Kauai. You can choose from a white or a whole wheat crust that is brushed with garlic butter. Their sauce, dough, and sausage are all house made. Absolutely yummy! The owners are wonderful and the service exceptional! This is a family run restaurant and is very comfy to dine in. You will find license plates from all over adorning the rafters of the restaurant. These are from customers that mail them, or bring them to the owners to proudly hang! We have 3 their ourselves from 3 states we have lived in! Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana! We always get a hawaiian style pizza with the whole wheat crust. Pinapple, ham, and sweet onion! Makes me want to go there for a pizza just thinking about it! |

| Tidepools: Great restaurant | | |

 |  on September 6, 2002 |
This is a series of large open thatched huts sitting out over the salt water lagoon. There were many koi in the lagoon. We had a great dinner. I started off with an outstanding coconut lobster soup with a "Tahitian vanilla cream" floating on top. God, it was great!!! Bill had a salad that was okay. He had ahi and I had macadamia coated mahi mahi. With that we had some fresh Kauai corn on the cob that was so great it rivaled Indiana corn!! It was a lovely dinner. outstanding coconut lobster soup |

| Wishing Well: Best Shave Ice | | |
| | ||
 |  on February 27, 2008 |
Yet another truck on the side of the road carrying a wonderful delicacy. We heard of shave ice before we got there, but I was convinced it was nothing more than a Sno Cone. Boy was i wrong -- it was 100 times better than a snow cone! The shave ice is topped with exotic fruit flavors and then served over macadamia nut ice cream. Delish! There are lots of places around the island for it, but we liked Wishing Well the best. Beware, if you park in her lot and aren't there for shave ice, she will have words for you! |

The restaurant is small, clean and decent. I actually did not eat here but my boyfriend did. He said the burger is good. Friendly people at the counter. |

| Gaylord's at Kilohana: Hawaiian breakfast buffet - plantation-style | | |
| | ||
| on October 3, 2006 |
This is a wonderful place off of Highway 50 just west of Lihue on the north side of the road. It is a plantation-style restaurant in an old restored home that was built in 1935. It was transformed into a restaurant in 1986. They have scrumptious breakfast buffets that won't bust your wallet & great lunches and dinners. There's usually a woman who sings traditional Hawaiian folk songs and plays her ukelele during the breakfast buffet. Everything |

| Kukui Restuarant: Great Breakfast Buffet | | |
| | ||
| on July 5, 2007 |
We started our day right (every single day we were on the island) with the delicious breakfast buffet they offer a scrumptious selection of breakfast favorites (omelettes, fresh fruits/juices, cereals, waffles, fish, rice, sausages, bacon, etc.. Great service. Just beware of the birds! You cannot leave your plate for even just a few seconds. |

| Ono Char Burgers: Best burgers ever!! | | |
| | ||
 |  on December 9, 2006 |
A local institution, this road side burger stand has been in business for generations and is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. It is a simple stand with a few tables with chickens clucking at your feet - but the burgers are just stunning! We were on the island for two weeks and ate here five times. Large all beef burgers in a variety of ways (mushroom, cheese, fried onions, etc.). Berry shakes are very good as well. Servings are so large we would eat lunch there and not need/want dinner! It is just north of Anahola off all by itself on the seaward side of the road. Keep an eye out for celebrities - we saw David Crosby one day. Cheddar burger, fries and a marion berry shake. |

| Oki Diner: Good local food | | |
| | ||
 |  on December 20, 2007 |
A local recommended this place. He said the food was good and the prices we cheap. They also openned early. based on the reviews in one book I read, I probably wouldnt have come here. They said the food wasnt so good. I have to disagree. This place was filled with locals and the food, at least what I got, was very good. I had the kalbi beef and rice. Excellent. Rob had the Loco moco like always. It was soso. Koa had the pocho with rice and eggs. Very good. Service was good and fast. The prices were good compared to everywhere else on the island. |

| Pono Market: Hawaiian lunch - takeout at its best | | |
| | ||
 |  on April 15, 2006 |
Not a restaurant, takeway and only open at daytime, Pono Market is the place all locals refered to when I asked for the best Laulau and poke. I picked up the habit of enjoying late breakfasts or early lunches with takeaway from Pono Market on one of the beaches in the Kapa'a area. Serving Hawaiian and local food, separate selections and as platelunches. Laulau, lomi salmon, soyu ahi and limu poke, mac/saimin salad and ocean salad. |
