    Try everything pancakes (bananas, pineapple, macadamia nuts, and their homemade jam) delish! Less busy in the early morning, kind and attentive service and great for a breakfast on a budget :)

    This place is busy but well worth it! Ate here twice on our vacation and would highly recommend the loco moco and the oxtail soup. Now we can see why the locals rave!!

    #TipTop is a historic slice of Kauai. Elvis, the Coco Palms Resort (Blue Hawaii location) are long gone, but Tip Top lives on as the 50's/60's affordable place to sleep & eat.

    I prefer Ono Family Restaurant in Kapaa for breakfast, but if you are looking for breakfast in Lihue this is a good spot. The locals come here too.

    Great pancakes. But if you like bacon make sure you order yours crispy. Toast was soooo good too. Yes the toast. @808plate

    Tasty local fare at good prices. We split the Chinese Special and it was plenty of food for two.

    Got the grand slam - the goteburg sausage was spicy, but the outstanding part was the banana pineapple pancakes! Try them with coconut AND maple!

    Visitors: Leave this to the locals. You won't consider it to be anything special.

    Loco Moco with fried rice! Then you add in a hash brown for crunch and Tabasco for a little kick! YUM!!!

    If you have a peanut allergy, DO NOT ORDER THE OXTAIL SOUP. It has peanuts in it.

    Food is very good, the hotel is a rip-off? $100 a night for something less than a Motel 6.

    Very low prices, but they are pretty serious about stopping serving breakfast at 11am. Also, lunch is only served from 11 to 1:45. I'm serious. No exceptions! Lol

    Local atmosphere, almost hospital setting with waitress in nurse scrubs pushing around trays. But good loco moco

    No breakfast after 11:30AM. Banana mac nut pancakes are the way to go!

    Loud, uncharming + none too clean. You're much better off @ Ono Family Restaurant if local flavor's what you're after.
