One of the worst restaurants I’ve been too at any airport. The guy taking orders had an attitude, no eye contact, mumbled answers and told us we don’t have that item for the first three choices. Then we settled on something they had and we waited, and waited, and waited. The place was not crowded and we saw at least 8 staff members, most of which were just standing around. We finally got our order, a simple breakfast but they left the coffee out. Got another attitude over that. The breakfast was ok but the coffee not so much. It’s clear this place is poorly managed and staffed by some people that don’t want to be there. Not that there are any other choices though. Just be prepared

Kauai fried rice was good, not really any other food. The cashier was great! Seems like a morning person. The dining area is air conditioned, which is nice. I like the ceiling art.

Plate lunch was a GREAT deal (~$16-19 for 1 scoop rice, 1 scoop mac salad, and protein of choice - pictured: chicken teriyaki) and tasty too. They also sell burgers and fries, soda, etc.
Ambiance is fine, it is at an airport and feels a bit like a food court even though it has its own area/restaurant space.

Oddly, I see mostly bad reviews. Must vary greatly as to who cooks. For our visit on June 13th around 910pm, the grilled shrimp was VERY good (as in better than any shrimp we had on Kauai). The loco moco was also on point. Prices were 25% higher than most of the local places, but considering how many places we ate at that were 2/5, I'm glad we had our last hot meal at the HMS Post. Hopefully consistency can increase so others can enjoy what we did.

Was desperate and tried the “Teriyaki Beef”. Was not Teriyaki. Was not Beef. Don’t do it. You will regret it. ?Also the guy was very rude when I asked for coffee at 2pm (in an airport) and said they don’t do coffee after the morning. ?

1st time in almost 10 years and still a nice place to wait for your flight.

Ok, I'll just share with you what I sent to my friends from the airport:"Just had the worst ramen of my life.Figured I should tell you.Lihue airport.They put like deli sliced ham into it.And the broth just tasted like foot water.And noodles like flavorless rubber."and then the following morning:"Oh man. That ramen sent me. Incredible stomach crampsShould have known. This ramen was setting me up. It was a setup."Reasons to not just leave one star?Well - service was great, alcohol is cheap enough and you can just buy it in a can, no need for bartenders, plenty of available tables, and really, the only non crowded non packed place at the airport.
They were out of one of the items from the classic breakfast but they were still happy to sell it to us at full price. The portions were well sized and the food was generally good for “airport food”. Stand close to the counter to hear your order called out or it will sit on the counter.

The food was good and the portions big but very pricey for a burger and fries! Not many other options at the airport

Got the chicken katsu. See the pic. It was frozen chicken fingers sliced, served with brown gravy & rice. Seriously.I guess the tourists wouldn’t know the difference but this was terrible. Oh, and it was $15.99.

Pros:Bar is 21 and over. Food came out fast.Cons:Prices are crazy. Paid $16.99 (before tax) for a chicken sandwich that tasted like something my mom made from a frozen patty. Nachos had most tomato sauce tasting salsa ontop of frozen kalua pork.Not much better than any bad airport restaurant.Service: Lacking but not worst.
