It is amazing to me that you can have wonderful homemade bread, great homemade soup, salad, an entree(we both had fish-mahimahi and salmon), your tea or coffee and homemade pie(coconut cream for me and macadamia nut cream for the DH) for $49(before tip) for the two of us. Lots of locals frequent this place, but once you go there as... more

I was so excited to eat here after reading such favorable reviews. The location was fine, the decor, ok; but the food......bad.

We had read about the B/I in the AAA-guidebook for Kauai, and it was everything as advertised. Don't let the location and decor mislead you; locals... more

My husband and I, on our last day in Kauai, stopped some locals and asked them to suggest a good place to eat. They suggested this place and we were skeptical at first.

One of the greatest deals on Kauai. You can eat like a local and you get treated like one too. The service is great and the food is plentiful and at a great price. more
