My wife and I come to the Olympic whenever we are on Kauai. They have a large selection on their menu. Something for everyone. Their portions are huge. Great breakfasts with coffees and teas. Huge lunches and drink items. The salad selection is good. Need more dressing, just ask. Can't beat the dinner selections. We love their fish & chips and ribs. Super meaty and great BBQ sauce for the ribs. OK, now I'm hungry again. I'm heading up to the Olympic for another great dinner.
The waiters are really friendly and helpful. Great food too, and the price ain't high for the amount of food in the dish. Definitely recommend this place if you are in Kauai island:)
Probably one of my favourite places in all of Hawaii. The food was amazing, staff were friendly and the atmosphere and location were awesome.
Food was good but not great. Husband had the Hawaiian pork I had fish & chips. Pork was good. Place would be so much better if they used fresh cut potatoes instead of frozen waffle fries. Great location
This cafe is awesome! Great waitresses, yummy mimosas and the kalua pig breakfast burrito is sooo good and enough for 2! We would highly reccomend this for breakfast!
The food was great and the service was very friendly. I'm very pleased with the price and the amount of food given. Great place and I would highly recommend

Good food and drinks. My husband and I had mai tais here along with happy hour coconut shrimp (a great deal at $5 a plate and you got 8 of them). On another day I got a salad that was okay - not bad but not excellent. My husband got a fish sandwhich with fries and that was very tasty. Overall I would reccommend.
We just went there for drinks but it has food too!! Royal margarita was really good and at a good price! It's a second store bar which makes this place cool!
Big menu, fun location, good food and great service. One of our best meals on the island.
Great open air bar for a drink. The food portions are enormous (from what we saw because we only drank) and the drinks are good.
Yummy scrabbles for breakfast. He had chorizo & i had spinach. Spinach had- 3eggs, artichokes, peppers,and onions! Get to choose a side, rice, melon or potatoes! Very filling
Great food! We've been on Kauai 10 days and this place was the best. Finally some good food!
If you're looking for a delicious, healthy and hearty meal to fill you up, order the Chicken Curry Wrap or Thai Chicken Wrap with papaya on the side. Best bang for your buck. Enjoyed them both. Very complex and satisfying flavors came together in both wraps. Texture and level of sweetness in papaya was perfect.

Good for Appetizers and Drinks. Their coconut shrimp and wings appetizer were very good and $5 for happy hour. They had a couple decent craft beers on tap for 3.75 on happy hour. We weren't pleased with either of our meals. We heard others say they were. My wife had chicken stir fry and it didn't have much flavor and the chicken was a little tough. I had Ribeye and Shrimp with garlic mashed potatos. The shrimp and Steak both were extremely heavily seasoned with garlic. The shrimp were cooked right and great. The steak seemed to be cooked medium rare but it was tough. I only ate half of it. The garlic was so strong on the steak and shrimp, I couldn't even taste the garlic in mashed potatos but my wife could (she hadn't eaten steak or shrimp). We returned here again for beers and appetizers and was again pleased. The sauce on their coconut shrimp was more of a cajun flavored tarter like sauce, rather than the sweeter red sauce we were accustomed to, but it was very good. Their wings were not overcooked and juicy. The service was pretty good as well. I gave this a like it, but not for dinner. For drinks and a snack it was great.
Huge variety on menu. Cheapest beer im town.
Went here twice while on vacation. First night we just had beer and the free taco bar. It was great and cheap, but we wanted to come back again to try a menu item. All of us ordered the fish and chips and they were amazing! Would love to come back if we visit again
The place to return to.... Second time to Olympic cafe & as always the food is YUMMY! Great variety, great price, usually great service (although our waitress last time could have been replaced by the OTHER waitress who seemed to have more time for us; sorry I can't remember the names!), & of course an easy location to find. Recommend the Ono Beer Batter Fish & Chips & the Grilled Spinach Sandwich. Mmmm... Onolicious :)
LOVED Breakfast. We were so impressed with breakfast that we ate there twice. It has a great patio overlooking the town. I highly recommend the Acapulco omelet. They also have mimosas, if you like them, and really large coffees so they aren't constantly filling them up. Thumbs up!
Great Local restaurant. Took the family of 20 people (to include 3 year old triplets) and had great service for lunch. Most ordered the Mahi Tacos and Fish Burritos. All was great. If you don't like spicy fish and are more of a fan of mango salsa type fish tacos then this is a great place.
One of our Favorites. Nice atmosphere with dinning tables overlooking the highway. Good sandwiches with large portions
Really good experience. We had never heard of Kapaa or Olympic Cafe before, so we went in based on the open views from the second floor dining area-it looked cool. I had a HUGE Cobb salad, with avocado, tons of bacon and egg and an excellent cilantro lime dressing. YUM but way too big to finish. My husband had a spicy Thai wrap that was also big and very good. The service was good, the views were fun. I would definitely go back.
Great portions, great service, great 2nd floor location. This is going to be one of our "have to visit places" in Kauai. Very laid back, unpretensious and relaxing.
One of my Favorites on KAUAI. I love the Olympic
The staff is always pleasant and the food and drinks are very good
huge portions and great prices
Love their Sizzling chicken fajitas
Awesome !!
Great Salads! Prices are fair,Service is OK. We love the Tropical Salad with chicken. Plenty to eat and if you aren't that hungry get the dressing on the side and safe half for the next day. Also their thin spaghetti with pine nuts and tomatoes is really good I get extra marinara sauce on the side and safe a portion for lunch the next day. Alcoholic drinks are average at best mai tai's we had were way to juicey not enough dark rum too much pineapple juice...Stick to the beer can 't go wrong
Awsome. We had the Ono with a Macadamia nut/Papaya reduction. As good as or better than anything we've had on the Islands. Yum! And very large portions (too large really). Did I mention our salad was organic?
Casual dinning, good prices. I had the largest burrito I have ever seen. Busy place, fun to watch the town go by on 2nd lever dinning.
2nd floor outside dining. Good foor, breakfast, lunch, dinner, nothing fancy but good. Great view 360 all around, fun spot.
I agree with the reviews that say they have HUGE portions! Upstairs offers great views is Kapaa and is very open.
Warning the burritos are monsters!!! Very good!
Have to agree about big portions. California omlette had 1/2 of a HUGE avocado on it! Service was friendly and attentive, and the location is great, upstairs in central Kapa'a across from the ABC store. Friday AM breakfast was very empty, customer-wise.

Huge portions! Excellent service. Great location.
Great variety of food. They have everything from burritos to ribs to salmon. The burgers are great, as is the tropical salad and waffle fries. Kitchen was a little slow but our waitress apologized and gave us two free drinks. All in all a very good experience. Good food, good service and good views.
Best on the East side of the island by far. Huge menu... Which is rare in Kauai. Good size portions. Good price. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will be pleased
Decent food, nice joint. Food was pretty good, excellent bloody mary, open and airy, with a nice view with good service. It would have been a very good experience except two of us had dirty silverware with old schmutz on it. Yuck.
If you're looking for a breakfast spot on Kauai, I definitely recommend this spot. You can expect great views, attentive service, good food, and very large portions. The french toast was especially delicious! We look forward to trying it again for lunch.
Had lunch here and the ahi furikake was amazing. Wife had the pork platter. Pork was solid as to be expected. Wait staff Courtney was super attentive and the open air dining over the shopping area was very breezy and nice. Beware the mixed drink prices is only caution I would give as depending on well vs primo they can stack up quick.
Beautiful views; open air restaurant. Price is moderate on this island with great food quality and quantity. Very friendly staff; my wife and I ate here twice in our 1-week stay. Good parking around back, which is an island rarity. Upstairs, no elevator. (Ask for the downstairs “restroom code”.)
Came here twice for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! Got the pig omelet and banana and macadamia nut pancakes the first time and the pig breakfast burrito and kimchi fried rice the second. Such fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Huge portions so come hungry. And the service was fast. The pig was best I’ve ever had. So moist and flavorful. 10 out of 10! So good!
Really enjoyable lunch stop on our drive thru Kapaa.
Food served quickly, and very tasty... especially the fish n chips. They were extremely good, as described by our UK friends who were with us
Took a bit of time to get the cheque... but hey we were on vacation, so chill a bit, right ?
We stopped in for lunch after walking around and it was a nice surprise. The restaurant is on the second floor with pretty cool views. We had the fish tacos which were excellent. Amelia our server was helpful with our questions about the menu and our food came pretty quickly.
Food was good, but fairly average. It’s on the second floor, so you get a good view of the town.
It’s not Greece, so don’t expect the hummus to be good. But we only got that because they didn’t have any guacamole at noon?
The loco moco there was pretty good, only gripe was that it was more undercooked than usual.
Drinks were okay. Would have got a beer but they were in the middle of switching out the kegs the whole time were were there.
Overall quality of the food is great. The portions were generous and satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the kalua pig - it was delicious! However, the Mexican-style dishes, such as the burritos and chips and salsa were seriously lacking.
READ WARNING: they’re named Olympic for their giant portions. If you want to eat for an entire day or feed a family of 8 with one order of the burrito then this is the place. Honestly…. So mad I got no warning of how large this thing is. A great reflection of the sleeping giant mountain you can see from your table as you try to devour its equivalent. You’ll sit in shame as you eat your fill and there is barely a dent made in the monstrous plate. Do not take on this challenge unless you’re ready to accept defeat in the gladiator ring.
We had breakfast at this place and it was delicious! You could see the ocean from our table and on the other side of the restaurant you can sit on high tables and view the town below
OMG !!! The food here is way better than expected for such a busy tourist area, and the open air balcony was an unexpected, unique treat, giving diners a wonderful unencumbered view of the man on the mountain. The portions were very generous and the entrees are uniquely flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. You have to try the Hawaiian French toast, with the Coconut Syrup… it’s amazing.
7 years ago we visited Kauai and my son remembered this restaurant because it made such a great grilled cheese sandwich, just the way he loved it.
Unfortunately they no longer have it on the menu, but the waitress knew what I was talking about and the kitchen made it special the way they used to make it, and my son was happy.
They have an awesome bloody Mary with all the fixings you could imagine, and more. I really enjoyed it.
My daughter also remembered the Kalua Pork from this place, apparently it made an impression so many years ago.
We came back again for breakfast on the day we were heading for our flight home, they have a very good breakfast menu with Hawaiian bread french toast or macadamia nut pancakes, plus plenty of other breakfast choices.
The waitress was very friendly and happy to meet our special requests. I definitely recommend this place when visiting kawaii.
Fun local place for good bar food. It's a second story open air bar and grill, so good people watching of the shopping area at street level. The pig sandwich was very good, although the bun is not up to the task. None of the mandatory tip garbage here,
This a solid breakfast spot. Big portions, and very flavorful food.
Hands down best Bloody Mary's we found on the island! The Bloody Mary is a meal in itself. It is garnished with the standard celery stick and green olives but what makes this Mary outstanding is the sice of carrot, roasted garlic, cheddar cheese chunk, red onion, two shrimp and hard boiled egg pickled in a balsamic vinegar brine. Food was good too.
Absolutely delicious every time! Huge portions and everything is so fresh. The staff is great!
