Super busy, very local hangout.Eat and leave, they're so busy you don't sit and converse over coffee afterwards.Very local style plates:Kalua pork omelettes, oxtail soup, fried rice omelettes.

Service was good but the food was not unfortunately. The loco moco had 4-5 hairs in it. The Kalua pig and Lomi salmon didn’t taste right. I ended up being sick for the rest of the day stomach was aching and I was nauseous after eating the food. Hopefully they can ensure these things are fixed going forward not a great experience to be sick on vacation from food.

This little local restaurant was recommended to us by a local at the Texaco gas station. I had a Mango Pancake. It's new to their menu and was excellent. Light, fluffy with pieces of mango in it John had the Loco Moco, also very good.. quick, friendly service

We stopped for breakfast on a recommendation of someone at the airport. This for sure is a local place and isn't really anything fancy but I don't care about that as long as the food is good. I tried to loco moco with bacon on top and wasn't really sure what to expect. I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed it. The bacon just added another flavor and a nice texture to the loco moco. It was also nice that they gave a good amount of gravy since some places don't give you nearly enough to even cover the rice. Always glad to support local places!

Simple no-frills restaurant with great breakfast items to choose from. Check out the banana pancakes I munched on. You must try this little place out. I know I'll be back!

Well it's still in COVID mode here in the dining room. I had the tripe/beef stew with poi. Went hit da spot at 7am in the morning.

I don't believe you go here for the service, which is adequate. The food was okay. My husband had the moco loco & I had the pancakes. The same food was much better at the Olympic Cafe in Kapaa.

We stopped here for breakfast on the way to the airport. Convenient location and seated quickly. No frills basic interior. Breakfast food was good and served quickly at a reasonable price.

Aloha! Great local food. Stopped here after it was recommended by the staff at Kauai Harley Davidson.. Dani's is great local foods..Remember to shop small, spend your dollars where it counts with the local shops. Keep your dollars local, help the locals not the big corporation tourism machine..

Exactly what we expected and needed in a locals diner My wife and two kids were very satisfied with the meal and the portions. Service was quick and prompt. For the price it's right on the mark.

Seeing that my hotel's restaurant did not open until 7, I decided to venture out and find a local spot. Oh My Goodness. This is where the locals eat. The staff is very friendly and food very good (for breakfast)

Good, authentic food. Fast service. We came a little after 8am and we're seated immediately, but a wait was forming a little after us, so come early if you don't want to wait! We both got banana hotcakes with chocolate chips added- delicious! My friend also ordered an omelette with hash browns and they were really good. The hash browns were a little mushy on the inside, but still had good flavor! Overall, good breakfast!

We wanted to try local restaurants when possible. This restaurant was busy so we weren't surprised that we would have to wait for a table (just two in our party.) However, the attitude of of those overseeing seating was not particularly friendly to put it charitably. We were finally seated but the service remained the same. The food was unremarkable and we both felt we wouldn't return.
