The Best Plate Lunch
on Kauaʻi

Two scoops rice, macaroni salad, and your protein — the definitive Hawaiʻi meal.

Kauaʻi is a small island with an outsized plate lunch tradition — Kapaa, Lihue, and the Westside each have stalwarts that locals have been eating at for decades. The portions match the island's generous pace.
