    Great place to eat on the island. You get huge portions and the breakfast is outstanding. This is the closest I could come to Texas sized burritos. Outdoor atmosphere with views of old town Kapaa.

    Olympic definitely has the best breakfasts on the island. Great omelette, scrambles, and fresh cooked home fried potatoes. Excellent. quality and extensive menu. Oh and did I mention ocean views

    Love every dish I've tried here... portions are huge and prices are good. Love sitting on the roadside for lunch and people watching and the macadamia papaya fish (ono) is amazing for dinner.

    California style cuisine with lots of local favorites. All the portions are very big. My favorite spot for breakfast and the home fried potatoes are the real deal. Great wraps for lunch.

    Sit on the street side in the morning or the beach side at night. The Kalua pig is excellent. Get the papaya with breakfast instead of the potatoes.

    Hate this place! Got a grilled cheese and it was completely burnt and super greasy. Our waitress didn't offer to refill our drinks and didn't tell us the dessert menu when we asked. Bad experience!
