With a limited number of restaurants on Molokai, both locals and visitors tend to make the most of Kualapu'u Cookhouse, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As well as some hefty breakfast options, diners can choose Corned Beef Hash, Scrambled Egg or Pancakes, among other fare, to kick-start their day. Some of the dinner menu offerings include Loco Moco, Country Fried Chicken, Mushroom Swiss Burger served with fries and, usually, one or more daily specials. Although the food presentation is good, many dishes are quite calorific and possibly not for the figure-conscious or those on a diet.

The interior furnishing is unfussy while the outdoor dining space is comprised of a number of picnic tables where diners can enjoy their repast in the open air.
