I like this place! They provide decent dishes, their menu is large, The cook in that restaurant is a specialist, I love very much trying all their dishes. The dishes are always tasty, the service towards the guests is nice. I often go to this restaurant and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it with no hesitation.

Happy national taco day 2019!
This restaurant is a hidden gem. It is not in downtown Waynesville so it isn't overrun with tourists. This place has what most restaurants need to take their establishments to the next level, i.e. passion. The food is excellent, the prices reasonable and the restaurant...More ... read more

A great little hide-away!
If you are from out-of-town, you might miss this place as you drive down the road. But you really shouldn't miss this place! It's a "order at the counter and they bring the food out to you" kind of restaurant. We had great food and...More ... read more

This was my first trip to this restaurant. It was very busy. The locals like it a lot. I had a pulled pork sandwich. The bread was fantastic and the meat was good. I had salsa and chips for my side. That was good. My...More ... read more

I find this restaurant to be a very nice change from fast food. It serves very good and healthy food. Everything I have ordered has been wonderful, both in taste and appeal. Seats about 40 people and has limited parking. The one drawback is its hours of operation. Closes around 3 pm. The staff are great people and friendly.

Went to Kanini’s for the first time today at lunch ... what a find! I’d rate it as the best restaurant in Waynesville! The food was exquisite, the atmosphere warm and the service was great. But they’re only open until 2:30 ... :( I can’t wait to try their take-home meals one day soon!

What a gem of a cafe! Delicious daily specials to eat in the restaurant, or prepared frozen meals to take home. All freshly made on the premises. Their carrot cake is the best I've ever had anywhere!

Kanini's catered our Clergy Spouses luncheon. The food was amazing. We had healthy choices, they fixed special meals for those who have food sensitivities... We had a loaded salad, rice with pieces of veggies, grilled flavorful chicken, and desserts. It was filling and everyone was pleased.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this little restaurant! I am in town for work and was actually driving to another restaurant when I spotted Kanini's. I ate here for lunch the three days that I was in town! Every day I tried something different and I was very pleased with each meal! By the end of the week they knew me by name.

Very fresh!
Everything I have ordered has been very fresh and taste homemade. Wonderful guacamole and salsa. Some items is a little on the pricey side for lunch but cheaper choices also available.

Dinner to Go
To out dinner to go a few times, both fresh and frozen, very good values, tasty comfort food. If I could ask for one improvement it would be to have more sauce for the dishes.

What a Find!!!
I've been carrying an ad for Kanini's with me for weeks saying that "we need to try this place" when we are in Waynesville the next time--we actually live in very "foodie" Asheville! We had lunch there on Saturday (Yes, they are open on Saturday!)...More ... read more

This is a cute little stand alone lunch place off the beaten path in Waynesville. They have recently made some welcome changes to their space, adding stools in front of the plate glass window for more seating. Kanini's was recommended by a friend who lived many years in Waynesville, so she knew all the restaurants there. What a nice ... read more
