Shrimp Station, Waimea

Cheery, bright and inviting, this roadside shrimp stand is getting all kinds of attention from island visitors coming and going to the beautiful Waimea Canyon. The eatery is simple, situated near the turn up the hill to Kokee. It's situated in an old-style wooden building with a covered patio filled with tables and chairs where you can enjoy fresh shrimp from the take-out window. The menu is quite simple: shrimp on a paper plate done spicy, scampi or deep fried. The prices are reasonable and the parking is free. It's the perfect on-the-fly stop during a full day of fun on Kauai. - Lottie Tagupa
