Great place! This was our first time and they were so patient and helpful. Food was absolutely incredible! I had the deluxe box lunch and every item was so tasty! Will definitely return on future visits.

First time for us, and i would definitely come back. Box lunch for $11.95, even though small portions, it hit the spot. The food was good. Next time, we will try the deluxe box for $13.95. Took it to the airport and grinded it. I recommend this place.

Onolicious old school box lunch bentos or simple kine plate lunch specials (verbalized at order window). ? Great place to grab food to take to the beach or for a picnic.
Great find. Not a ton of options on the menu but they do their one thing well.

KUDOs. (1) Simple menu: two box lunches with assorted items, Regular or Deluxe, plus 4-5 daily specials featuring one item. The Deluxe box lunch is stuffed in a pie box, not the smaller bento box. (2) Nice assortment of local favorites flavored just-right (many other places use a lot of salt). (3) Low price for lots of food. Similar on Oahu would easily be $20+. (4) Boiled peanuts: tasty and crunchy; we regretted buying only 1 serving. (5) Delightful customer service: friendly, patient, willing to share information about places to visit, routes, traffic.CHALLENGEs. (1) Easy to miss location; it's in a row of houses. Look for the school sign across the street, "Kauai Campus. McKinley Community School for Adults." (2) Your meal is cooked when you order so it is served hot and fresh. This is definitely not a instant in-and-out place but it is well worth the wait (and the wait isn't long).We had planned to order and eat in the car while driving. Instead, we ate there and enjoyed 20 minutes of hospitality; this was one of the highlights of our trip. Paradise Grinds is very highly recommended!

They only have one long table for outdoor seating, but this place seems like the locals' favorite. I see many orders multi box lunches. You have to go to the back of the store for the breathtaking view (hopefully we didn't intrude on private properties). The deluxe box lunch is the best deal for less than $14, lots of food, so I can see why the locals love this place.

Food was undercooked. I witnessed prejudice behavior by workers and they seemed to be proud of it. Would not

A local joint that you can't miss! The deluxe box is sooo delicious and has great value. We actually walked ~30 minutes from our hotel to here. It was absolutely worth the trek and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great taste and value! Really wanted a box lunch but if you come 15 minutes before closing, only get what get.Very happy with the chili pepper chicken we got. So much we were able to share a plate between 2 of us.There’s a picnic bench that we were able to sit down and use.HIGHLY RECOMMENDEdit: went back 3 days later to get my box lunch. Went early too.
Simple food with big flavor. Everything we had was super delicious and each flavor was well thought out. Service was excellent, everyone was very friendly. The place is a little hidden, definitely a locals joint. This hidden gem is worth the trip, the food is great and the portions are sizable. BTW we had the chili chicken bento box w/ tempura shrimp and the teri chicken.
