Reviews for Daddy O's Restaurant in Lihue, HI
This was our first stop in Kauai for breakfast. The place seems to be family run and has a very homely atmosphere. We ordered... Vegetarian Omelette, Veggie Benedict and Ube Pancakes. They were out of fish, so we had to settle for the veggie options. Theitems we decent and they have discounts for cash payments. The restroom is outside the building and is common for the entirecomplex. Read more
Went here Wednesday morning at 10:20 AM and there was a wait!! No big deal, about 10 minutes and we were in. Sat promptly and... then the service?. We sat down and asked for a moment to look over the menu. Another party of 4 (we a party of 2) was sat andserved water and drinks. No big deal sometimes this happens, but this is where they failed. They returned with the 4 drinks forthem and then again to take their order, all the while we were just being ignored in the corner. Table 7 must be a black hole inthis restaurant. We waited so long being ignored that I had to go ask if we could have service. Upon asking, we had a gentlemancome over immediately and took our food and beverage order. After taking our order we were forgot about again, ended up waitingso long for the food that the 4 seated after us had been served and ate their meals before one of our meals showed up. Yes, theybrought the meals out separately so we could eat at different times, because that?s why you go to a restaurant is to watch yourfriends/partner eat. Everything is throw away and cheap, paper plate, plastic thrifty fork and knife. So thrifty that theplastic knife broke on the second cut into the loco moco and splattered hot sauce/ketchup all over my partners white shirt, thathe just bought in New York two weeks ago. The food was ok but nothing I?d rave about. Barely warm and the taste was nothingspecial. More fruit than bread with the French toast. No ?blueberry cream cheese? (at least I didn?t taste it at all) just creamcheese, and the powder sugar was two small clumps on one piece of the bread. The service was non existent and the atmosphere wasjust blah, they have a kitchen cooler by the entrance and a shelf lining the restaurant wall with kitchen ingredients. How isthat not a Health Code violation? Please straighten out the single hanging picture you have because it do like that / Not worthgoing out of your way for. Over rated, over priced and under performing in almost every Read more
Hard to spot this place out, but a really nice local find. Diner-like experience with really good breakfast/lunch/dinner... options. I had the Daddy-O Kanaka Breakfast - really filling. Really nice service too, owners and waiters are really nice,wanting to learn more about their patrons and where they're from. Overall would come here again to try their other foods -they've got so many options to try. Read more
The place was clean and organized. The food was ok. Good prices and good service. We had to wait a little bit outside because... the place was full. I had shrimps ???? and the taste was good. We went for brunch but they also had many options for breakfastthat looked great. Read more
The cafe is small and there will likely be a wait but do not be discouraged. I appreciate that this restaurant respects veterans... by offering them a free beverage!! The macadamia coconut pancakes are spongy, and the creme is delicious. I promise you haveNEVER had pancakes as good as these. I had the stuffed shrimp eggs benedict which were delicious. My only wish was that theywould have been served with a side of country potatoes. Honestly, this is one of a very few restaurants I would return to. Read more
So good. Slower kitchen and staff so plan time accordingly. Coconut macadamia pancakes were fluffy and the syrup was very thick... and taste more homemade than other syrups I've tried. Stuffed french toast is really good, and I normally don't like fresh toastbecause of the soggy bread eggy taste. But this is totally different, using island sweet bread and stuffed with berry creamcheese cream! Read more
Wow! Wow! From ?the best stuffed French toast ever? to the unbelievably delicious stuffed shrimp eggs Benedict, ?fantastic?... french toast plate and some of the fastest, friendly, and efficient service: Daddy Os delivers and then some. Located in a stripmall, Daddy Os has food and service second to none, with outstanding prices (for Kauai). I?d love to say I discovered them, butI can?t. Parking is easy, and located close to the airport so we can come back even if we have to get something to go; we?realready making plans to come back tonight! Read more
First time here and we were quite impressed. Busy little spot on a Saturday morning but we only waited about 20 mins for a... two-top. We split the Veggie Eggs Benedict and a short stack of pancakes. Both were very good and the service was quick andfriendly. Left feeling full and satisfied, and reasonably priced as well. Will definitely be back. Thank you! Read more
