About Shipwreck Subs Salads and Desserts
# Shipwreck Subs Salads and Desserts
Tucked into Kiahuna Plantation in Poipu, this spot serves quality sandwiches on Kauai's south shore. What sets Shipwreck apart? They're using premium Boar's Head meats and partnering with Orly's Patisserie for desserts.
The menu offers serious range beyond subs. The Chopped Italian salad is loaded with Italian meats and cheeses, roasted peppers, and red wine vinaigrette for $14.95. If you're craving something different, try the Peanut Noodles with whole wheat pasta, snow peas, and creamy peanut dressing (add chicken for $4). The Going Full Ham sandwich with Gruyere and pickled onion delivers solid flavor.
The vibe here channels beachside energy – casual, laid-back, and welcoming. It's a cafe-style spot where you order at the counter and the crew walks you through options.
You'll find it works well for families looking to avoid resort prices, beach-goers grabbing lunch before hitting Poipu, or anyone wanting fresh, quality food without the fuss. They've got simple PB&J and ham & cheese options for keiki too.
**Insider tip:** Sandwiches run around $17 but they're substantial – you can split one or save half for later.
**What to know:** This is the kind of neighborhood spot locals frequent. Nothing fancy, just really good food made fresh. When that sandwich takes a few extra minutes, it's because they're actually making it right.
