22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lihue

“Rainbeau Jo’s is truly a must-visit! From the incredible food to the amazing energy, this place is something special.

Beau was absolutely incredible. He remembered us, welcomed us with so much kindness, and has one of the most genuine, generous souls. You can tell he truly cares about the people who walk through the door, and that kind of hospitality is rare.

The food was delicious, and my husband said it was the best bagel he had on the island, which is a pretty big statement! But what makes Rainbeau Jo’s stand out even more is the people. The staff brings a level of excitement, love, and positivity that I have honestly never experienced anywhere else. The hype is real, and it is completely deserved.

If you’re on Kauai, do yourself a favor and stop here. You’ll leave with a full belly and a full heart. 🌈“

“Hard to believe you can get such great sushi from a food truck. I’m partial to sashimi and it is always fresh, perfectly cut, and beautifully presented.“

“Amazing food. Priced affordable for a big group. HUGE portions.“

“The best poke bowl we had in Kauai by far. Along with that, they have so many changing options of hot food, and grab and go food, it's a whole different experience every day. The garlic fried chicken was our children's favorite. It wasn't great tasting food that kept bringing us back, it's also that the food was reasonably priced compared to other similar businesses we visited. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.“

“AMAZING! The best waffle I have ever had!“

“Blue Bird Café is truly a gem!

From the moment you walk in, you’re met with warmth, hospitality, and a genuine sense of community. The atmosphere is inviting and thoughtfully curated–perfect whether you’re stopping in for coffee or gathering with friends. The owners and staff go above and beyond to make people feel welcomed, seen, and cared for.

The coffee and food are consistently excellent & crafted with intention and quality. You can tell everything is done with heart. What sets Blue Bird Café apart is they don’t just run a business; they steward a space that brings people together.

Grateful for places like this that serve both great coffee and the community. Highly recommend Blue Bird Café, you’ll leave better than you came.

“Shaka Burgers makes me smile! They’re so good! Best burgers on Kauai! And their shaka fries are incredible! All served with a smile out of their red food truck across from the Costco gas station.“

“Delicious acai bowls! This was our first stop after arriving in Kauai. We ordered the Kauaiian bowl, Kailea bowl, and the Green Giant. The fruit was deliciously fresh, especially the mango in the Kailea bowl! However, I was very disappointed with the Green Giant. The first ingredient listed was matcha, so I assumed this was a matcha latte with some sort of sweetener. Apparently dalgona is coffee, so the drink was half matcha half coffee. I don't drink coffee, so I ended up tossing half my drink. They have some chairs and picnic bench seating for you to enjoy your food or drink, including a covered area.“

“Wired Monkey smoothie was great. Glad they are still in business.“

“The food is amazing! The staff is wonderful!“

“Visited this coffee place and fell in love with their coffees! They serve definitely one of the best coffees in Hawaii!
Apart from Americano and cappuccino, we also ate Blueberry muffin, butter croissant and chocolate scone. All of them were delicious.
We loved it so much that we ended up buying a bag of beans for our home when we were leaving from Kauai.
All in all, Highly recommend visiting this cafe when in Kauai.“

“Ordered take-out on both Friday and Tuesday and had awesome food on both days. I got the bbq mixed plate, garlic mahi-mahi and Taro boba drink on Friday then had a Hawaiian plate, bbq mixed plate, dumplings and Lychee Boba drink this Tuesday all of which were excellent with very nice people operating this food truck. There are so many food trucks in this island but these guys are the best in my limited experience all for very little money.“

“12/2025
I happened upon this quaint, friendly and fast place by accident. Located next to Inkspot, people drive by for a really quick and onolicious pickup. They offer 3 simple bentos that offer a quick but wide variety of food. Drop by to get your quick fix to start your day. They open at 6am. D, one of the owners was really informative and helpful. And the food offerings is what attracts your eye at their prices. Not overly huge but very reasonable and economical portions in these trying times. A nice niche option just minutes from anywhere in town and the airport. Onolicious! 😉🤙✌️“

“Im so grateful for Aloha Aina Juice Cafe! I enjoy an acai bowl daily from you guys and it's always amazing! Thank you for the delicious, nutritious foods and the positive vibes every day. 🙏🏼☀️🌺“

“New owner has turned this spot into the best drinks, menu and service on the Island. Ask Alyssa to mix you Bloody Mary! Awesome!“

“Amazing food Great drinks“

“Awesome atmosphere. Great Service and the best we have ever had on any of the cruises“

“Cute little shop, kinda off in the cut. Great pizza! Homemade and fresh. I saw the guy get herbs from his backyard to add to ours, you can't get any fresher! The goat cheese and honey was 10/10. Will definitely be back, and that was just the pizza, don't get me started on the pineapple smoothie. They also have items for sale, the homemade soap and lotion smile great. You gotta go if you're in Kauai“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches here! I like all the options for your order and the food was great. So good, in fact, that we're looking to go back for another lunch! It was pretty busy when we went, so the food took a while to come out. Definitely plan ahead if you're going during the lunch hour.“

“Salad bar and music ambience is amazing and breathtaking.“

“Great experience and views“

“Maile enjoying her very first Puppiccino. She loved it it! Thank you Starbucks!“
