21 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lihue

“Stopped by Rainbeau Jo's in Lihue and it was the perfect start to our Kauai morning — bright, cheerful, and full of island vibes.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that happy food-truck energy that instantly puts you in a good mood.
The Jimmy Pesto bagel with housemade pesto cream cheese was fresh and so flavorful.
The Brahvocado — smashed avocado, local tomato, sprouts, and cracked pepper on a toasty croissant — was a vegetarian standout.
We also loved the chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll from their Orly's Patisserie partnership — flaky and delicious.
The Kauai Sunrise smoothie tasted like the island in a cup, and the coffee was excellent.
Service was warm and full of aloha; Beau and Jo clearly love what they do, and it shows in every detail.
Great food quality, fair prices, and such a joyful little spot — five stars, highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“Visiting from Oahu for work and when we asked one of our coworkers where to get lunch, he mentioned this place twice so we knew we had to go, and it did not disappoint!! Got in about 20 minutes before they closed for the day, so the poke choices were a bit limited, so I recommend getting here earlier if you're picky/wanting something specific. That being said, they still had a fair amount to choose from so I was happy. I ordered the spicy ahi with rice, topped with unagi sauce and tempura bits and it was genuinely one of the best bowls of poke I've had. Great flavor and a good portion for the price. One of the employees brought out fresh fried chicken while. I was paying and it smelled divine lol. Lovely staff, provided great service. Definitely will be looking to come back and try more of their menu when I'm on island again!“

“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.“

“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.

“The best coffee spot on the island! All made to order- we got pour overs brewed from freshly roasted beans. The baked goods were heavenly, Kouign Amann (croissant meets macadamia nut and honey) is a MUST!! Next fav choice personally was the cinnamon scone. Opens relatively early for your early adventures when most “breakfast” options are closed“

“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.“

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

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

“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. 🙏🏼☀️🌺“

“Amazing food Great drinks“

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

“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“

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

“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!“
