“Earth Aloha Eats serves great solid vegan food from the vibin truck right next to the airport.

“I was looking forward to this food for over a week after finding it on google maps. Did. Not. Disappoint. Everything we sampled was amazing and the food we ordered was simply the best Thai food we’d ever had. I would come back to this island for this food alone.”

“The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with authentic Hawaiian cuisine served by a lovely family. The food was incredibly delicious! Highly recommended! Go try it!”
“Tight Tacos are amazing! The staff is friendly, and their tacos are possibly the best I have ever had. We tried them all, and all are great! There was a place in San Felipe, MX that might have been better, but the owners retired years ago.Parking: Very small parking lot.Street parking available.Kid-friendliness: The kids loved it here! They loved the quesadillas, and the informal atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: The dining room and order window are very wheelchair accessible. The only non-accessible area is the salsa bar. That area is too narrow to navigate by wheelchair. The staff is friendly, and happy to get whatever you want from the salsa bar.”

“This is a must when I visit my family in Maui. In November they were closed but I was able to get my fill on Friday. Cash Only, Be prepared to take cash. Prices went up but still a reasonable cost. 3 scoops for about $3.50. Family owned business and the service is always so nice. Be prepared to stand in line by family outside. Which is good for a small business.”

“Loved our meals! We tried the fish and chips and the gyros from here and my picky kids loved it every bite. Flavors were amazing and has a definite Greek flare to it. Yum! The man serving us at the Costco food truck location was a true gentleman and very sweet. Thanks so much, what a treat!”

“This place can be difficult to find but it's located in an empty lot with other various food trucks near Costco. Tried the Kihei Kicker was strong and flavorful. I will be coming back here again.”
“We foolishly came at the weekday lunch rush but it was still worthwhile. The daily special bento was a great bargain. More a place for locals, and a few smart people who seek out such places.Kid-friendliness: Great! As long as you avoid the lunch rush because who wants to wait for a table when you got kids”

“USE BOTH DRIVE THRU LINES!!! Felt like a jerk using the open lane when there was a line on the other side. But I ended up waiting over twenty mins while about 5 cars got their order in the other lane. Dirty Chai was good.”

“After just arriving to Maui from a 7 hour flight, the food trucks were a welcoming site! It was great to have various choices. There were some that were not open but still plenty of options. We enjoyed dinner from the shrimp truck! Lots of various shrimp dishes with very good flavors!Wheelchair accessibility: The property is located on ground level close to parking. There is a lot of loose gravel used to keep the area groomed. There are picnic tables with attached seats, no wheelchair access. Lots of little curbs or to each food truck there is typically is a step or two onto a platform.”
“Visiting the island, picked a random food wagon on the map and it turns out this one's in the Ferguson plumbing parking lot. Large croissant bacon egg cheese. Was very tasty.”

“Brigitte and Bernard's provide great German food, ample portions, at a reasonable price for the Hawaiian islands. The waitress / bartender was very accommodating when the restaurant did not have the hard seltzer I had requested from their menu by mixing for me a delicious Mia Tia. This was our third time at the restaurant, when visiting the island, and, once again it did not disappoint.”
“It was a very clean place and a very good food ! I did think my food could’ve used a bit more seasoning but I’m used to Thai food from NY so I don’t have much of Maui to compare this to. I would recommend this place for sure !The staff was very nice and the decor is great as well. I’d say the downside was that the food was definitely more on the expensive side. If you carry cash you can avoid a 3.5% extra credit card charge so make sure to carry some cash!Parking: Parked right infront of the place!”
“Standout performance by the culinary whiz-kids at UH-Maui. We had the French meunu which started out just so-so, Both the amuse bouch (a custard with a crisped prosciutto in an egg shell) and the fish quenelles were far too rich for our taste. However, the entrees (scrumptious lamb chops and surprising salmon} were real standouts. The caramel mouse was a perfect ending. The service was very attentive, friendly and very efficient. Only let-down was the overly slow production times which could be helped by slowing the starter courses.”
“Go there for Filipino food. The dishes taste like home away from home. I thought no one could touch my Uncle's Arroz Caldo, but Kelly's, it's up there.”
“We had the best dining experience from start to finish. Mahalos to Michael, Riley, Betty and Chef Johnny Bacay for the best dining experience we could've asked for! The entire staff was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food and service was AMAZING! We will be back!!!”
“Nathaniel is amazing. Got great Mac salad best on the island three times will I was on island. He went above and beyond to custom make a travel lunch fo me for my flight home. Looking forward to eating his great fish and Mac salad my next island stay. ”

“The staff is always friendly, and it's clean in there. The pre-order screens have never worked for me. Cheeseburger and fries were good, but I'm not a fan of their fountain drinks. The Diet Coke from the fountain never tastes like Diet Coke from the can. The mix is never right.”
“Jack in the Box is still one of my favorite places to eat. Even though I am trying to lose a bit of weight in recent days, Jack In the Box still serves unsweetened ice tea and other treats. And that's awesome!I often come to this particular Jack in the Box location here in Kahului, Maui. It's very close to the airport so it's a nice place to pick up something coming into or leaving Maui. With that said, most of my trips here to this Jack in the Box involves the mobile app, where I would literally order it on the Jack app while waiting for my ride from the airport and then come here to pick it up. It is quite ideal, but you'd have to wait about 10 minutes after putting it in for it to be ready. We usually do the drive thru option, so once we pulled into the drive thru, we simply say "mobile order pick up" and that was it. It was astonishing how amazing that is. The service here was good and fast, especially with the drive thru. As long as you don't order anything in error, you should be getting your order fast and correct. For the most part though, the experience here at this particular Jack in the Box was good and fresh. I normally fly into Maui in the morning, so you don't get a crazy long line. It was like this on my most recent visit and back in January 2023. The entire experience took about 1 minute on the app, 10 minutes of waiting, and 3 minutes of going thru the drive thru to pick up the order. It was quite nice to be able to use technology this way to enhance the fast food experience!The overall experience here at this Jack in the Box location in Kahului Maui was quite good and fast. I liked how they have 3 locations in the Kahului and Wailuku area of Maui, but only this one on E Kamehameha Ave is basically the nearest to the Kahului airport. The staff here is friendly and fast. Maybe I came here early enough to where it was more pleasant and it wasn't raining that morning anyway. It was my birthday weekend, so I was happier than normal. Best bet would be to have the mobile app to have and order this way if you are on the go. If not, their dining room is usually open now since it's 2023 and the fear of COVID is largely gone, but we still need to be cautious anyway. During my most recent visit, I decided to pick up a breakfast jack combo, with french fries, and a large coffee. I gave the large coffee to my friend who was driving me. And I also ordered those fried jalepenos, which are my absolute favorite treat! I usually get the 7 pack along with a large ice tea with extra ice. I can tolerate the heat, I just like the extra ice for other things. lol. The prices here are a little higher than normal fast food restaurants, I agree, but Jack in the Box is in a league of their own. Plus, I love how they brew their ice tea here, versus McDonalds. If you are ever in the area and love Jack in the Box, consider stopping by whether you're arriving or leaving Maui for a quick meal solution.This Jack in the Box restaurant is located at 150 E Kamehameha Avenue in Kahului, Maui. It's basically across the street from the Maui Mall. Queen Kaahumanu Center is nearby. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. You can place mobile orders on the Jack in the Box app, which requires a credit card anyway. As far as parking goes, they have a limited, but generous amount of parking here in a private parking lot. If you are like me, The Maui Bus comes thru the area I think. Either the Kahului Loop or reverse loop bus, I think. Or probably the one that services the Kahului airport. Either way works, although you may need to walk a little bit after being dropped off at the nearest stop closest to the restaurant. While I haven't been inside the restaurant for a dine in experience, I aim to hopefully on my next trip to Maui one of these days, but obviously, the mobile app is so ordeal and convenient! Although I would eat in moderation, I used to have the Jumbo Jack and their tacos for 99 cents. It's quite good and budget friendly, while grossly unhealthy. But it is wh”

“What a great way to immerse yourself in Maui's food scene by grabbing lunch at the food trucks located across from the Costco. Very happy that Sushi Kochi was my first meal here. Hoping to eat here again!”

“John the owner answered on first ring, I needed to order some pies for an event I was hosting, not only was he accommodating, he delivered and made the party! The pies were amazing, and everyone loved them. I ordered the Chocolate and the Liliuokoi (spelling?) We will be ordering again and again and will try all the varieties. There was none left to take home as they were gone in a flash. I was able to cut smaller slices and got about 15-20 slices out of each pie. I added whipped cream and chocolate drizzle to the chocolate pie and just whipped cream to the other. Thanks John! Amazing find”
“My family tried this truck before our flight out of OGG. Everyone was blown away - the sandwiches were enormous and delicious, and packaged up beautifully. And the Frosty Pogg was wonderful. Fantastic work all around - really wishing that this truck weren't 3,000+ miles from home.”
“best casual meal on maui this year’s maui trip (i visit family every year). we got the keyakiya chicken — great texture (not dry), umami, sweet, and very lightly breaded (i don’t like thicc breading). i can’t wait until next year’s maui trip ?check their IG. sometimes they don’t come if the weather is bad. @keyakiyamauiParking: park along kahului beach for free”
“This place can be difficult to find but it's located in an empty lot with other various food trucks near Costco. Tried the Kihei Kicker was strong and flavorful. I will be coming back here again.”
“Truly one of my favorite places - the food is so fresh, the owners are incredibly kind. The salad is delicious, the homemade focaccia is to die for, generous portions, can’t go wrong! The chocolate chip cookie is also unbelievable! Super quick too!! Can’t say enough!”

“After reading reviews, I decided to check it out. Staff is super nice! Service was quick, prices are great and Food is amazing !! I ordered Lu Pulymasima (spelling?) which is brisket wrapped in some sort of steamed leaf, with coconut milk inside. I got the side of sweet potato, topped with coconut milk. Everything was fresh and delicious! I'll be back!”
“If you want authentic Mexican food,this is the place.i moved here to Maui from the bay area and believe me this is the real deal.food seasoned to perfection;not too salty nor too bland, just perfect.a must have is the horchata; literally the best horchata I’ve had in Maui.this spot tops Fernando’s and amigos by miles.they also have a location in Kihei with more food options. 10/10”
“If you want relatively inexpensive local comfort food, this spot allows you to do that. Everyone in your party can also pick out a variety of options as well. Some vendors only take cash, some take cash and card.There's another food truck spot a few driveways down, that one looked to have several options including dessert options too (shaved ice, etc.) will have to check it out next trip - we just drove by it.Oh, there is plenty of parking (free parking!) and a nice covered area to sit and enjoy your food! The one down the street didn't look to have as much shaded seating, but I did see some. It's very close to the airport, so you can grab your last bites of aloha before leaving Maui!”
“I had two orders of their 3 tacos for $5. One beef and one carnitas. Both delicious for the money. Carnitas were the favorite in my group. A little strange for lettuce to be in my street tacos but the tacos were so good and fresh. I'll be back!”
“Visiting the island, picked a random food wagon on the map and it turns out this one's in the Ferguson plumbing parking lot. Large croissant bacon egg cheese. Was very tasty.”
“Great vegetarian sandwich with a choice of 1 side, I chose the pasta salad. Service was excellent.Vegetarian options: I had stir fried veggies with melted cheese sandwich - open face on top of 2 pieces of wheat toast, side of pasta salad.”
“Don't let this unassuming strip mall coffee shop fool you - it's worth the stop. I wanted a quick breakfast before heading to the airport and I'm so glad Google guided me here! My latte was strong (I can't stand those watered down ones) and my salmon eggs benedict had THE BEST hollandaise I've ever had. I didn't take a picture because I ate so fast! 5/5 hands down.”
“Some of the best shrimp I’ve had. I got the three flavors. Hot n spicy, pineapple scampi and garlic butter. All flavors were great but the pineapple scampi was by far the best. Location was great and had plenty of parking and seats. Great to enjoy the beautiful weather. Also their side of crab macaroni was amazing ! The cashier at the window was helpful in explaining the menu. Definitely recommend this spot.Follow @cerogrubs on instagram, tiktok and YouTube for more delicious eats !”
“I’ll start off with… the beer battered deep fried Prawns were so delicious. Not fancy or expensive and their seafood is amazing ??The tables are covered with a piece of paper, and your waitress will provide you ample napkins and a wipe for your hand and face when your done. Did I mention fresh Hawaiian Prawns are friggin amazing. I’m from Alaska and previously believed there was no better seafood than there. I was wrong. They are huge. Four filled me up. LolAnyway, an outdoor style, look and atmosphere indoors in a mall setting.Prawns were 15$. ??????Parking: Huge parking lot in mall. Walking distance from beach.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely ??Wheelchair accessibility: Yes totally. Parking, entry and room to maneuver. ??”
“My favorite places to buy sandwiches and chicken wings. French Dip and the Reuben are my go to. Aunties working are always nice and the food is always pretty quick. The truffle waffle fries and the onion fries are also pretty good too.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The manager was excellent here as she attended to her customers. I'm not sure what her name is but I heard her mention that she had recently relocated there from California.”
“I always love coming here to get my souvenirs or gift cards when it comes to the holidays! The inside is very spacious and the signs are easy to read. If you need somewhere to do some productive work or a place to read this place offers that. Michelle is always rocking her fabulous hairstyles each time I visit this store and she knows how to lead with style.”
“Good food service is ok. It is a typical fast food place, so the atmosphere isn't necessarily great. But a good option for Maui.Vegetarian options: They have a decent variety of options.”
“This is one of the friendliest fast food restaurants you could go to.The staff is always a delight and kind They’ve never got my order wrong. They’re always pleasant.”
“I always enjoy coming to this store in and out of island! I have been coming to this location for the past 3 years. The manager sure knows what they are doing to keep operations going smoothly. This location is always on it when it comes to cleanliness & making the moment right. I always wonder why David is never an assistant manager because his customer service skills are always ON it. It's a cool spot to wind down and do some productive work. The employees are always so friendly. :) This is personally my favorite location as it is conveniently located across Target and other business areas. I miss my favorite baristas that used to work here, s/o to my bestie Rose & Jericho!! Lol”
“We don't have a Jollibee where we live so when we heard there was one while on our vacation to Maui we had to make a stop. It was thirty minutes to closing and we had a thirty minute drive back to our airbnb so by time we got back and realized a part of our order was missing it was too late to call; we had a fairly large order too so easily missed and understandable. We returned the next day because we couldn't get enough of the ube pies and spaghetti. When we mentioned the missed item the team was so nice and quick to rectify. Needless to say, they made our Jollibee experience a 10/10 recommend. Great customer service and wonderful, respectful team there! And of course the food was amazing!!!”
“Possibly the best Panda Express on all of Maui, and I’ve been to them all. They must have a Michelin star chef in the back bc woooof my orange chic was phenomenal. The service made me feel like a prince. The woman who helped me was friendly, helpful, and an active listener. Make this a destination on your Maui trip. 10000 gold stars”
“Recently visited Taco Bell and had a really enjoyable experience. The food was delicious, exceeding my expectations for fast food. I tried lots of food, and it was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was quick and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable dining atmosphere. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and service at this Taco Bell location and would definitely recommend it to anyone craving tasty and affordable fast food.. fyi.. no bathrooms there”
“Fun fact, you can use the McDonald's app within Walmart. I was a shopping assistant that day & needed a pick me up. I had enough points for a free mocha frappe. So was nice being able to use it within Walmart. Since stores within stores are sometimes ran different. Plus I was craving some hot salty fries.There was only one person in front of me when I arrived. So the wait wasn't bad & the cashier was nice too.The restaurant is tiny, but there are a handful of tables with chairs if you need to make a pit stop from shopping.”
“We come here once in awhile when we get a craving for fried chicken. It is comfort food, although can be a bit pricey.Today we tried the chicken nugget box. It can easily feed a family of four and includes a good variety of items: Biscuits, 4 pieces of chicken, fries, and nuggets. We ordered a couple of sides to add to our meal.”
“Worst service in Lahaina. Employees very rude asked for a couple extra napkins. Since all the tables were not wiped off she told me to take towels she had instead of giving me napkins! Food was very cold restaurants. Not up to covid standards!!? ”
“All the food here is prepared by the students of the culinary arts program. They're very proud of the meals they prepared. Every week it's a different cuisine and the food is great, and the prices are very affordable. Love to support this program!!”
“My wife and I were looking for a local place to grab lunch. This came up on Google Maps and it was a short walk from our cruise ship, so we gave it a try. If we were local, we’d eat here once a week, at least. The food, Shrimp Sari Sari and the Ox Tail soup. Both were outstanding and came with delicious sweet (purple) potato salad. And to top it all off, the staff were friendly and informative. Great experience!!”
“The manager was excellent here as she attended to her customers. I'm not sure what her name is but I heard her mention that she had recently relocated there from California.”

“The managers and staff of Hang Loose lounge are just fantastic people. They are island friendly and go out of their way to help you. Rod even drove us personally from the lounge when we could not get a taxi to swing by. You can see why the locals frequent and hugs flow. Check it out. Maui is wide open for business folks. The fires certainly affected certain specific locals but 90% of the island was fine.”
“The best cookies I’ve ever had!!! I could eat a whole bag and still want more, these are the perfect cookies! And for such a great price! My favorites are the coconut or the pineapple macadamia nut cookies. I’ve been to Maui twice and this is a must stop, every time! The best part is I can order them online too :) They’re a great gift for my friends back home, everyone loves these cookies, and for good reason! The staff is so friendly, I’ll be a lifetime customer :)”
“This Costco food court does require a review. It was an unique seating experience. The food court is out of the Costco club. There are some hens and chicken roaming free. You do need the membership ship card while you order on the counter.Vegetarian options: Just a cheese pizza”
“TL;DR - Amazing new "mainland style" Chinese restaurant here in Maui! Don't get me wrong - I do love the foods of Hawai'i, but I also appreciate different flavors too. Fried rice is one of my all-time favorite dishes. When I moved to Maui years ago, I ordered fried rice and was shocked by the smoky, meaty flavor of the local style. I love it but I also couldn't find the fried rice of my childhood. Today I found it at Maui Lemongrass and I am so excited! Everything we had was excellent - Chicken Chow Mein, Veggie Spring Rolls, fried rice, and Egg Foo Young. We also noticed the family in the booth next to us say "this is like New York Chinese food!" so it wasn't just us who had the feeling of familiarity. I also really appreciated that you could taste the freshness of the cooking and the ingredients. "Mainland style" Chinese might evoke a range of quality from legit restaurants to small takeout places selling fast food delivery. This is the nice restaurant type! This kind of good Chinese restaurant was my grandma's favorite for dining out, if she was still alive and could visit me this would be at the top of the list for places to take her for dinner. If a guy wants to take his grandma there you know it's good! We will be back soon for more delicious food!”
“This was one of my favorite food trucks on the island. They understand vegan, you can choose your spice style, huge portion, fast service.The price was perfect as well!The pad Thai was the star of the show.Staff was super friendly and helpful.Highly recommend!”
“I love hot dogs so I had positive hopes for one of Maui's newest eateries that thankfully doesn't serve chicken!?Founded in 2019 in Honolulu, HI by Yunho Kim, other locations include Georgia, Illinois, New York & Virginia. Maui's sole location opened in October 2022.ATMOSPHERE:Located in the Queen Kaahumanu Center food court, they've taken over the spot vacated by Maui Tacos. Seating is food court-style.MENU:Corn dogs in nine coating styles with four different filling choices (cheddar & mozzarella cheeses and "sausage" whatever that is), cheese balls.FOOD:Mr. Cow Classic - $4.50It's supposed to be sweet and savory but I can't imagine a sugar-coated corn dog, so I axed it and got it plain. Same for the inside filling, nada. I wanted to taste its true flavor without any additions. The coating is rough like breading or panko, crunchy, with a pleasing chewy underlay and perfect thickness. The beef hot dog was smoky, firm and savory as expected. I squeezed on ketchup & mustard and really enjoyed it. Love that it comes in a box complete with a cutout for the stick as it catches crumbs, can be laid down without rolling around and makes for a clean and useful tool when retracting the stick so you don't stab your throat!Spaghetti Stix - $5.00I opted for no filling as it has toppings of a semi-sweet marinara sauce and soap box cheese (AKA Kraft). Another winner in my book!CLEANLINESS:Oh gawd, all three food prep workers sported long hair and no one donned hair netting. Eek.SERVICE:The cashier gal was very friendly, professional and patient.Order time was under ten minutes.OVERALL:Welcome to the Valley Isle. Not as good as the county fair's pronto pup but it'll do! And, get your workers hair nets!”
“Cuppies is a must visit... And do it often... Outdoor seating is back and walk up service to.... Prices are awesome everyone is happy and smiling, I'm glad to support them and enjoy good food... We love to stop in just for an ice cream too!”
“We needed dinner before our flight on a Sunday and other places had a long wait or were closed (lots of restaurants are closed Sundays). Ended up here because they were open and not busy, and we were pleasantly surprised considering it's unassuming appearance from the outside. Really decent prices (I certainly didn't see anywhere else on the island you can get a BLT for $6.50!). Our fried rice with sausage for $15 was the most expensive thing I think, and was a huge portion and delicious! While it's a basic diner without a lot of flair, Sheik's was just what we needed! Fast and friendly service. My only issue was the cleanliness of the washrooms. The windowsill was black with dirt and things like that make you wonder about the cleanliness of other areas of the place.”
“Full disclosure: I only got the Chocolate Chip Macademia Nut cookies as a gift and brought back to me... my brother and his girlfriend knows I love cookies and bought these when they were at the Farmer's Market in Maui. These were delicious and crispy. The macademia nut wasn't too strong though... you can taste more of the chocolate chip than the macademia. But definitely a high rating for this for the beautiful name! ;) Hoping to visit Maui one day and stopping by their brick and mortar and to meet the other Elaine.”
“Quick friendly service. The 3 ramen we ordered had similar broth. I was expecting a soy sauce sukiyaki sauce not a creamy Tonkatsu looking/tasting sauce. My black garlic ramen could use a little more black garlic. The kids liked the meaty chicken karaage. It would be awesome if they sliced the 2 thick chasiu pork slices into 4 thin slices.Plenty of free parking.”
“Yes! So love love love the idea of taking a commercial looking style and ambiance and totally making it local!The best part about building my salad I got to pick all local produce.....that's really not heard of in a spot that's set up to totally mimic the style we've all become use to.Local seriously local...And the soup....coconut butternut squash soup....the flavor on point!If you want healthy yet tasty and for the price of a chick-fil-A drive thru....and quality and flavor well above a typical American drive through....Go here....if your visiting its a spot....and it's yummy.Aloha!Vegetarian options: You can create and build vegetarian salad with local ingredients.The soup I had butternut squash was really yummy!Dietary restrictions: Well you can create whatever you like vegan, vegetarian, or meat eater!Parking: Lots of space to park!Kid-friendliness: Yes it's very kid friendly as lomg as they like healthy!”
“I was excited to try these unique cookies and support a local small business. The cookies do not disappoint: buttery on the outside and just the right amount of subtle sweetness and flavor of the inside fillings. Lilikoi-pineapple, azuki, and Ube really hit the spot, and the Cornflake Butter Cookies were a crispy delight.”
“This Pizza Hut was super close to Maui airport. We were dam hungry and ordered chicken Hawaiian pizza with chicken wings. Pizza was fresh and was ready in 12 min which was very impressive. Wings :- I have had Pizza Hut wings so many times before but this one was the best. They were juicy and the sauces were amazing.The restaurant is closed for indoor dining right now but there are many benches outside - so you can do take out and sit outside if you are in the area. Def worth a try if you want to avoid wait times of all the other restaurants in Maui and want something quick to eat..!!”
“Thank you! After having a disappointing lunch experience elsewhere (where there was apparently not something gluten/dairy free) I was able to get something here at JM. You have the gluten free thing down and I was finally able to have something that wasn't going to make me sick. Thank you for being reliable and consistent.Dietary restrictions: Dedicated knife for GF bread in separately wrapped packages!”
“Jazz really embodies the Aloha spirit and what it means to share that. Every time I come to eat here I’m always welcomed in by my first name. The customer service is always top notch! Not to mention how ono the burgers are. I’m not sure who’s the cook but hats off to all of them. I never had a bad burger here. Highly recommend when you’re searching for the perfect burger and onion rings! Plenty of options for everyone.”
“Yummy, flavourful Korean BBQ with fresh side dishes you can visually choose from! Our favorites are kimchee soup, bi bim bap kook soo & bbq chicken/teriyaki plate.”
“I was a little surprised by the prices, but once I opened the plate I realized this could feed me and the fam! It was huge! Overall food was good. I would definitely be back!”
“Stopped in here for lunch and was glad I did. The food coming out of the kitchen all looked good and fresh. All items are made to order so you will have a short weight before your food arrives. The service was exceptional. I don't know if it was the owner or not but the woman who helped take my order went above and beyond to answer all my questions and explain some of the menu items so I would get exactly what I was hungry for. I left with more than one meal because everything looked so good that I wanted something to go. The nachos were enough for two, and the chimichanga was crisp and loaded. I was also very impressed with the amount of extras you could add for free. For sure it would be an extra charge at most other places. The atmosphere is decorated in the style you would expect. Overall a Mexican feel but I would say a few touch ups and attention to details could help to bring the place together but definitely nothing that you would care about once your food arrives and get your first taste.”
“Kacy is truly a gem on the phone. It’s always nice to have a good experience even before arriving to the store. I truly believe that the customer service is as important as the food and Kacy truly delivered ! This establishment is lucky to have you and I want them to know it !”

Maui shrimp
“We were staying at the Courtyard and saw the parking lot next to the hotel filled with food trucks. Maui Shrimp happens to be one of them. We tried the Garlic Scampi and it was good. You can taste the garlic for sure. It would be good if they serve it with a side of spicy sauce”

“The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with authentic Hawaiian cuisine served by a lovely family. The food was incredibly delicious! Highly recommended! Go try it!”
“This is a must when I visit my family in Maui. In November they were closed but I was able to get my fill on Friday. Cash Only, Be prepared to take cash. Prices went up but still a reasonable cost. 3 scoops for about $3.50. Family owned business and the service is always so nice. Be prepared to stand in line by family outside. Which is good for a small business.”
“Had some time to kill before our flight and googled sports bar to watch the Super Bowl. OMG the food was terrific, atmosphere was great and patrons all local. And since we sat at the bar we saw EVERY dish that came out of the kitchen. ALL of them looked superb and now wish we made more time to visit it more than once. Had the bacon avocado cheeseburger and ultimate chicken sandwich which were great but like I stated earlier everything looked scrumptious coming out of the kitchen!!”
“We had the best dining experience from start to finish. Mahalos to Michael, Riley, Betty and Chef Johnny Bacay for the best dining experience we could've asked for! The entire staff was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food and service was AMAZING! We will be back!!!”
“Margaritas were Delicious ! Food was quick, hot, great selection. Service was friendly and very attentive. Great break in the day. Reasonable price and Happy Hour options. ”
“8/2023We were staying across the street at Maui Seaside Hotel to support Maui relief efforts. This was a very convenient and pleasant option. Food and selection were great, quick, and supported with friendly service. It was bust but didn't take too long to get to our table of nine. Not going into details about the plethora of items we ordered but suffice to say everything was onolicious! Again, the friendly service ( may have been the manager) helped top off the evening. I would definitely want to go back! ??✌️”
“We foolishly came at the weekday lunch rush but it was still worthwhile. The daily special bento was a great bargain. More a place for locals, and a few smart people who seek out such places.Kid-friendliness: Great! As long as you avoid the lunch rush because who wants to wait for a table when you got kids”
“It’s one of my favorite restaurant in the list!They don’t open dine inOnly take out. You can order ahead and pick it up(recommended)I ordered when i arrived the restaurant.Simply menu but all Foods were amazing!”
“Worst service in Lahaina. Employees very rude asked for a couple extra napkins. Since all the tables were not wiped off she told me to take towels she had instead of giving me napkins! Food was very cold restaurants. Not up to covid standards!!? ”
“Overall, this is a very nice place. It's a real estate office that was first converted into a espresso bar and now it's converted to an actual bakery that serves coffee drinks and espresso. I had a mushroom empanada for lunch I had to go they offered to heat it up for me they use a convection oven. It took about 30 seconds. I think they could've shot it through there twice, but I thought the empanada was very rich butter in the pastry. The pastry was extremely flaky. When I first moved to Hawaii. I kind of thought I wasn't gonna be able to have a good big good due to the subtropical climate we have, but I'll tell you the bakers have overcome those concerns now, we have European and Mediterranean style baked goods that taste as good as I can remember from the mainland”
“I haven't had Sonic since being on the mainland and missed it so much, I was too excited to visit Maui and be able to have it again!! We pulled into the stalls with the big screens to order from and decided from the options and placed our order through the intercom system and paid at the machine! Super easy and user friendly. I was a little hesitant when we pulled up based on a lot of the reviews I read about the service and wait here but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was!! We got our food and everything was exactly the same as the mainland, it was so satisfying and perfect for a quick lunch during my day trip. They didn't have as large of a menu as most Sonic's on the mainland but that was sort of expected. We ordered a chili dog, popcorn chicken, tater tots, soft pretzels, and our favorite drink, the cherry limeade slushie. The slushie flavors are so good but this one is my favorite!! There's a huge chunk of lime at the bottom! The drinks can be very sweet though, so I sort of let mine sit for a bit to water down hehe. We came back later in the evening to get some foods and drinks to bring back home with us on our flight and our experience was slightly different. We tried to place an order and the attendant, through the intercom, asked us what we would like, we tried to order a special of some sort and she said she would go and check to see if they have it for us and then didn't respond for like 10 minutes? That was weird. And then when she came back, it wasn't her, it was someone different and they talked to us like we hadn't already been helped by someone? It was a bit confusing and it turned out they didn't sell what was being advertised which was a little disappointing but whatever.”
“The managers and staff of Hang Loose lounge are just fantastic people. They are island friendly and go out of their way to help you. Rod even drove us personally from the lounge when we could not get a taxi to swing by. You can see why the locals frequent and hugs flow. Check it out. Maui is wide open for business folks. The fires certainly affected certain specific locals but 90% of the island was fine.”
“Food was really good, once the server brought my order she was very attentive. She had to explain to me that my electronic order picked up the other table, they didn't have tea on the electronic menu. She said they did have it and she would bring it.”
“We stopped here for dinner after a long day of traveling. The woman who helped us was very sweet. She answered my mom's (who is very allergic to seafood) questions about what food was cooked on what grills. Chicken and Shrimp are for sure cooked separately. I forgot to order a lemonade ($5 for 1), so when I went back up, the woman at the stand gave me my lemonade and was gracious enough to cover the change I would have had to pay left over (.21). The food was great! Big portions for what you pay for. The Gyros were fantastic, I would definitely visit again.”
“The food is great, local stuff that's way better than fast food. Even if you want to dine in, I recommend you order at the counter and sit in the "quick service" side if there's any kind of wait.”
“Tight Tacos are amazing! The staff is friendly, and their tacos are possibly the best I have ever had. We tried them all, and all are great! There was a place in San Felipe, MX that might have been better, but the owners retired years ago.Parking: Very small parking lot.Street parking available.Kid-friendliness: The kids loved it here! They loved the quesadillas, and the informal atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: The dining room and order window are very wheelchair accessible. The only non-accessible area is the salsa bar. That area is too narrow to navigate by wheelchair. The staff is friendly, and happy to get whatever you want from the salsa bar.”
