Best breakfast on the island! Huge portions, amazing value and great customer service! Felt like we were eating at someone’s house. Truly delicious. Hotcakes were MASSIVE and so fluffy. The loco moco was packed with flavor and hit the spot! Can’t wait to come back and have it again. Cash only. Tons of parking available.
What a wonderful discovery. From the service to the best teriyaki burger I've ever had. If I'm ever fortunate enough to get back to Kauai I'm coming back to Keoki's.
Keoki has been operating here since 1978! Authentic Aloha is served here!There’s no other place I’d rather eat first after landing at Lihue airport(3minutes). 10 stars for the food, 10 stars for the aloha, and 10 stars for the ‘talk story’! Dare I say.... ‘Best hole-in-the-wall place in Hawaii !
CASH ONLY! My husband and I went here twice while on vacation. Tucked away behind some buildings is this gem of a breakfast place. Good portions and good price. Be aware that this is a Cash Only Business so make sure you have cash on you. Everything we tried tasted amazing! I’m sad we found this place on our last full day but will be coming back next time we visit. Only down side is there’s no place to sit and eat so you might have to settle for taking it to the beach or sitting in your car. Very hot meals though so it would last the drive. Highly recommend this place
We visited this local restaurant last week during our vacation on the island. Don't confuse this restaurant with Keoki's Paradise restaurant from Koloa town. This little mom and pop shop in Lihue did not disappoint. We wanted to get brunch but by the time we arrived, their breakfast menu ended. However, the lady gave us a sample of the beef stew. We ended up ordering the beef stew and adobo. The portion was great and the food was amazing. I highly recommend their stew. Getting there might be tight. Also, there is no indoor sit down table. They had a little section on the side that they possibly set chairs and tables out but when we were there, there wasn't anywhere to sit so we ended up eating in the car. We saw a lot of people order and leave. Of all the nice restaurants we ate at during our vacation, this restaurant served as one of our must go places to eat and will definitely come back next time.
The best french toast I've had on island. Husband got the breakfast plate and loved the fried rice. Quick stop for breakfast right by the airport.
What a great place to grab a quick bite before (or after) boarding a flight! Breakfast sandwich was excellent (on sweet bread or French toast). Love the macaroni salad, like mom used to make. And the woman at the takeout window was so happy and pleasant. We’ll be back!
Been on this island for 3 days and this has been the best I’ve had so far. The cheese burger was a proper juicy burger with fresh veggies on it. Fries were your standard fare fries, nothing wrong with that at all, but the cheeseburger was the star of the meal. I didn’t see any places to sit and eat. This is in a very industrial area so it looks more like a “order food on your lunch break” kind of place if you work in the area. Cash only too so fyi.
