Daddy O's Restaurant — Restaurant in Kauai

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 and served water and drinks. No big deal sometimes this happens, but this is where they failed. They returned with the 4 drinks for them 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 in this restaurant. We waited so long being ignored that I had to go ask if we could have service. Upon asking, we had a gentleman come over immediately and took our food and beverage order.

After taking our order we were forgot about again, ended up waiting so 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, they brought the meals out separately so we could eat at different times, because that’s why you go to a restaurant is to watch your friends/partner eat. Everything is throw away and cheap, paper plate, plastic thrifty fork and knife. So thrifty that the plastic knife broke on the second cut into the loco moco and splattered hot sauce/ketchup all over my partners white shirt, that he just bought in New York two weeks ago.

The food was ok but nothing I’d rave about. Barely warm and the taste was nothing special. More fruit than bread with the French toast. No “blueberry cream cheese” (at least I didn’t taste it at all) just cream cheese, and the powder sugar was two small clumps on one piece of the bread. The service was non existent and the atmosphere was just blah, they have a kitchen cooler by the entrance and a shelf lining the restaurant wall with kitchen ingredients. How is that not a Health Code violation? Please straighten out the single hanging picture you have because it do like that /

Not worth going out of your way for. Over rated, over priced and under performing in almost every aspect. There are better places to have a meal that is better value.

Also don’t forget you get charge almost 4% for paying with a card…. Perhaps call Point Of Sale (POS) and get that merchant...

Horrible experience. We got there and they stated it would be a 30 minute wait. After an hour of waiting I asked where we were in line and they finally sat us. That's after they sat 5 groups that showed up after we did. They seat us and ask if we would like like some coffee. We said yes then sat there for 25 minutes before we saw a lady coming with 2 cups of coffee. She asked the hostess if they were for table 8 and he replied no. (We were table 9) I spoke up and said I think those are ours. She ignored me and dumped the cups of coffee back into the pot. So she eventually comes over to take our order. I asked where our coffee was and she said they were running behind on coffee. That's odd I just watched her dump 2 cups of coffee back in the pot. There was also plenty of coffee we could obviously see. Maybe they are short on cups? Who knows. By the time we got our food we had been there for nearly two hours. The food was ok but certainly not anything to write home about. I have never in my life seen such poor customer service. No apology for the extremely long wait or the poor service. I will certainly never return to this restaurant. Absolutely...

We ordered the stuffed shrimp benedict with a side of broasted chicken, stuffed French toast and a breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious. If I was rating this place on food alone, it'd be 5*, unfortunately I gotta ding Daddy O's on a couple of things.

One, we felt very rushed to put in our order. They'd come and ask us every 2-3 minutes. I'm a very indecisive person. Give me 5 minutes to look your menu over, especially when you have so many goodies on it.

Second, once our order was in, we then felt a little forgotten about. Our waters were never refilled, while the tables around us did get refills. To exacerbate this problem, the breakfast burrito my wife ordered was on the spicy side, and she needed water to calm the heat.

Lastly, the restaurant feels hectic, we were seated closest to the kitchen and there were servers and ladies just sprinting in and out, and around us the whole time we were there. I started to get anxiety while eating because so much was happening next to our table.

I'd definitely eat here again because the food was bomb. But I'd want to sit further away from the crazy-ness of the kitchen and hope I'm checked on a little...
