Great food with fresh ingredients and super friendly service! We had the chili with rice and the green vegetable curry, both were delicious and generous portions.

We visited the restaurant only. They were a bit discombobulated, came out to ask if we were waiting for food and what we had ordered, so it took some time to get our food. The fish sandwich was spectacular, but the ceviche was nothing special and not a lot of food for $18. Coconut pie was DELICIOUS. It's the only game in town for food up here and is a cozy place, worth stopping if you are hungry and don't want to wait to come down out of the park. Most expensive firewood in the country in their store!

Great spot to chill. Good chocolate macadamia nut pie! Service was ok, a smile would have been nice.

This lunch stop was a wonderful surprise. It’s in a big open area with a huge field, chickens galore, a small nature walk, a museum/gift shop, and the restaurant. We enjoyed all of it. Best part was the food though! Highly recommend.

Best meal we had on the island. According to my 12 year old son, the Pancakes with bananas foster and macadamia nuts was the most wonderful thing he has ever eaten.

That Chai was amazing! I would have settled for just good but that was impressive. We're going to spend some more time here next time we visit. Maybe try out the food. I'm liking the way these reviews look.

Visited Lodge for brunch only. We have ordered macadamia pancakes which served with cream, nuts, jam and butter. One serving has two reach pancakes and can be easily shared for two people.

Only tried the restaurant. I got the chili with a side of white rice, my friend got veggie curry, and we split the cornbread. Everything was great; the chili had a lot of meat and was very flavorful. There was a guitarist playing when we stopped in as well, that was cool.
Would recommend even if it wasn't the only place to eat on the mountain.

The staff here were horrible. The man who took our food order was short in his answers, making it feel as though he just wanted us to hurry and pay then get out of the way (no one was in line behind us to order). He was not helpful at all. The women working in the restaurant area were even worse! Extremely rude, they even rolled their eyes at my parents which infuriated me. I wanted to say something to them, but they clearly did not care about the customers and had no respect for us. I will NEVER go back, and would suggest avoiding this place completely. So disappointing.
Update 10/9 The general manager reached out and apologized for the poor experience. I greatly appreciate him connecting with me and trying to correct the situation. I can tell he values his customers and business. Thanks for trying to make it right.
Food and drinks: The coffee was not good. They made need to clean the pots. Food was mediocre, nothing special. Not impressed by the food and drinks whatsoever. Also way over priced!!!

Super place with a very good atmosphere! Local products. It is a little more expensive than the rest but, given the location, you are happy to pay.
We just went here to eat after our hike and it was incredibly good. There was a huge selection of coffees etc and the food was incredibly tasty and plenty for vegetarians too. The atmosphere invited you to linger, which has rarely happened on Kauai and the USA in general.

A little pricey, but a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat after hiking. Came two days in a row after completing the Awaʻawapuhi / Nu'alolo Loop, and then the Waimea Canyon River Trail. Loved the board games available to customers.

This is a restaurant closer to the canyon view, selling drinks, coffee and meals. After visiting the canyon, this place is a good resting spot, and you can also use the public restroom there!
Food and drinks: Hot food and coffee provided

This is the ONLY restaurant in Waimea. Eat here or starve…lol. Their burgers are pretty good..but expensive $20 each.
