 Hearty, local-style meals |
2982 Kress Street Kauai, HI 96766 United States +1 808 245 2921 |
Bored with breakfast? Try something different: teriyaki fish, miso soup, egg and rice. It sounds bizarre if you have never tried it, but it can be surprisingly satisfying in the morning. At noon, standard plate lunches are a favorite, but a selection of home-cooked American favorites is also available. Hearty dinner entrees include meat loaf, roast beef and stuffed mahi mahi. This simple and informal restaurant has been around for more than 60 years. During that time, it has managed to accumulate a devoted clientèle. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sandwiches, salads and pupus (Hawaiian term for appetizers) with a gourmet twist are served here. A signature item is the Maryland Blue Crabmeat Quesadilla. Of course, most of the people lucky enough to lounge poolside at Princeville aren't thinking about food. All they need is a fruity cocktail, complete with a pineapple slice and an umbrella, to complete the tropical island fantasy. This establishment has fruity drinks a-plenty. Go for a Lava Flow or a Mai Tai, the standard Hawaiian foo-foo drinks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gotta-love-it burger joint |
4-1421 Kuhio Highway Kauai, HI 96746 United States +1 808 823 0069 http://www.bubbaburger.com/ |
While waiting for your meal at this burger joint, you can amuse yourself by reading about the management's latest wrangle with snobby San Francisco lawyers, tossing your spare coins at the cook's feet (try to win a T-shirt!), or plugging your ears in an effort to get away from the pounding honky-tonk. Once the food comes, you'll be happily occupied for a while. Char-grilled burgers, baskets of "frings" (fries and rings—perfect for the indecisive) and even corn dogs are on the menu. The fare is simple, cheap and tasty. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A rustic dining experience |
2-2431 Kaumualii Highway Kauai, HI 96741 United States +1 808 332 9755 |
The sugar industry was once the dominating force of the Hawaiian Islands. People from a number of foreign countries came to work on the plantations, and were housed in wooden structures known as "camp houses." This is one of a few still standing. Its history is best explained through the photographs that adorn the walls. The menu consists of solid, down-home favorites served in sizable portions. Breakfasts are about as hearty as they come. Try the corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, home fries and eggs. Lunch and dinner entrees are based around meat dishes: barbecued chicken, ribs and burgers. Review © 2007, Wcities |
