50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Wailea

“Sat outside which was just ok. Good was good, but not excellent. We had the vegan dishes which were good, but over salted.Server was good spirited and made good recommendations.Maybe the inside has better ambiance, we just didn't see it.“

“This place was awesome for a quick breakfast in Wailea! We lucked out that we went on a Tuesday, I was sad to learn it was only in this location once a week. The bowls were great quality, fresh, and offered lots of options to customize. Would recommend if you're in the area!“

“Decent beach food stand with tasty smoothies. Their bahn mi was surprisingly good for a place that doesn't necessarily specialize in Vietnamese food. Definitely a filling treat if you find yourself at in the Wailea area, but you're probably better off bringing your own stuff. $30 for charcuterie? Yikes. I didn't get it but my kid nephew did and it was at least worth $10 worth of meat and cheese from your local grocery store.“

“Slightly off the main road, but certainly worth the detour. There is free parking across the way where the park is and a crosswalk nearby, so there was no hassle getting there. Excellent service and great ambiance. There was good entertainment in the picnic table area on a Sunday night. The crispy tofu sliders and the happy nachos were great options. They also gave us some bonus food items that were also fantastic. Never had anything like this food before, but would highly recommend. Purple lemonade was perfect, not too sour or sweet, tasted homemade. Absolutely will return here before leaving Hawaii.Parking: Park across the street in the parking lot next to the park. Then use the crosswalk on S. Kihei. Short walk and free. This was in the evening and on the weekend.“

“I love these ladies! They always get it right, and if there are any issues they always graciously assist! I've been taking my daughter since she was 5 and their smoothies are amazing! The coffee is amazing! My favorite coffee place by far, and I moved here from Seattle. ??? Keep it up ladies! You're the Best on Maui!?Kid-friendliness: Always super kid friendly, with a great menu for the kiddos?“

“We stopped by several times during our stay in Maui because the bowls are so good! Staff is super friendly as well. Pictured is The Blue Majik bowl but all the bowls are equally delicious. The location is a fun and laidback spot to explore as well. Highly recommend.“

“We found this place by searching great reviews, and it did not disappoint! From the freshly-caught giant portion of mahi that was grilled to order right in front of us (thanks, Blake!), to the tasty sauces and sides, to the cheerful and helpful service (shout out to Leyla!), we are hooked (get it?). We will shout this place from the rooftops, even back home in Seattle (where we also have great, fresh seafood)! Come here any time you get the chance!!!“

“Very well located in the South Maui Gardens in a sweet and relaxing atmosphere with plenty of food choices around this vendor offers the must delicious twist (smooth and sweet) on Shave Ice I tried. Condensed milk and good quality add ons. Let the milk infuse a couple of minutes over the refreshing ice core. Fruits around and toppings add texture and taste. Simply delicious. Went twice and my favorite was the individual size with condensed milk, lychee and peach for fruits. Tried Ube as well (fun factor) but surprisingly preferred the condensed milk. Minute difference though so enjoy the color you want. Service is great, but Just beware of hours as I was successful 2 twice but tried another 2 times and they closed at least 1 hour+ earlier than hours displayed at their shop. Still worth the effort, go indulge one of their threats.“

“Fantastic place! Love being able to order before being seated. Great food and atmosphere; had to go twice! Once for Breakfast, another for dinner. Had the pleasure of listening to local live music the night of our second visit. Must go when visiting Maui!“

“If you are staying near Wailea or passing through Kihei you definitely need to try this Shave Ice. You can get traditional ice with typical syrup flavors (like tigers blood, blue Hawaiian, root beer, lychee, coconut, piña colada, guava, fruit punch and so many more).Or you can get shaved fruit. It’s really amazing. The flavors are subtle but delicious! The ice is so fluffy! You can get it plain but I recommend getting with ice cream and topped with coconut drizzle.They take credit cards and cash. ($6 for a small, $9 for a large). It’s basically a food truck (an adorable VB bus named Gus) parked along the street but it’s definitely worth trying the shaved fruit (especially if you like more natural flavors). Next time I go, I’ll take a picture. I was too distracted by the deliciousness this time. ?“

“I have literally stopped getting dressed for my own wedding to write this. My fiancé just brought this to me to make sure I wouldn’t starve before dinner. I was planning to only have half of my sandwich (The Porkie) so I wouldn’t bloat but I could not stop. This was an 11/10. Possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. As a total foodie, thank you for making the best day of my life even better. Absolutely phenomenal food.“

“Top 3 lifetime burrito doesn’t have beans or rice! The Asada burrito was an astounding vegan revelation for what a plant-based version could be. Gigantic, delicious, dare I say meaty. Tortilla expertly grilled for that perfect bit of flakiness. Just go get one !Vegetarian options: All vegan - no dairyDietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Several good kid sizes options“

“So many recommendations so I had to come try them out. PHENOMENAL!!! I had the Coconut Bowl and Broccoli Cheddar Soup and it was the best I’ve ever had ? Service was exceptional and the place is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes ? I’ll definitely be back to try more bowls and their famous wraps ? Thanks That’s A Wrap for a delicious lunch ? Ooohhh and the coffee hits the spot as well ☕️“

“The coffee is fantastic. Smooth and balanced cold brew. The prices are much more reasonable than their two local competitors: Kraken and Lava Java. Their prices for a brewed/iced coffee are easily 30-40% lower than other independent shops.The setting though is idyllic!! BEAUTIFUL garden Courtyard! Absolutely stunning, so relaxing and my absolute favorite.“

“The owner is a nice guy who makes sure you enjoy the food and experience! The pizza is wood-fired and cooked to perfection! The appetizers weren't worth it in our opinion but the pizza and drinks made up for it. The interior and music have an eclectic vibe too.“

“This was my kids’ favorite part of our Maui trip. Actual quotes: “100 times better than Kona ice.” (And they love Kona ice). “Can we come back here everyday?” (We tried a different place yesterday and came back to Peace, Love, Shave Ice the today). “Ok, let’s go on our hike, and then let’s come back here.” ?Only way to improve is to add more seating and shade.“

“Both the food and the coffee were amazing! I had the white rock bagel sandwich and an iced caramel latte, both were delicious. Customer service from the all staff was also outstanding! Phyllis, Megan and Mikey were all so kind and personable. I wish we found them earlier in our trip, we are literally coming back tomorrow morning for more before we leave back home. Thank you!“

“Loved our meals from here. The Calamari was huge and the fish dishes were incredible. Also, offer vegan tofu options. It is outside a large food truck garden, but we took our food into the garden to eat, because it was beautiful in there too.“

“This place was so great we had to go back a second time. Amazing selection of freshly baked pastries. The malasadas were quite good, and if you've never had one you should for sure get them as they are the most popular. Lilikoi or ube were our favorites. But don't let them fool you, this is a true full bakery and the rest of their pastries are just as good if not better. The scones and quiches in particular were unbelievable.“

“Consistently amazing food. One of the few trucks on the island that you feel like you've had a healthy and super tasty meal. The side salad is so delicious and the cook/server is super kind and helpful. This truck is the only one that I know of that asks to be paid after your food is served.“

“Our favorite shave ice on Maui!!! Hands down. I kept telling my family how amazing it is, but we got gross and mediocre ice multiple times before we made it here. It's the shaved ice of my dreams, and my family now gets it! Guava, lychee, passion fruit, mango. Mmmmmm.“

“Stumbled upon this place while looking for coffee during our morning walk. This is such a unique coffee shop in Kihei. They also sell a lot of cute merchandise and their own coffee if you would like to buy it as souvenirs for family and friends.Service was friendly and quick. I got my usual chai latte. Not too sweet or bland. We only stay for a little bit and sat by the windows. Quick easy fix for coffee if you're staying in Kihei.“

“This place is LEGIT!! and the best meal we have eaten on the island. We ordered Red curry , Green Curry , Pad Sa Ew, Coconut shrimp , and Thai fried rice. We've eaten Thai all over and we were impressed by the quality and flavor. If you're a Thai lover, you won't be disappointed.“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid. UNREAL flavor and fluffy texture. My fav is the regular cinnamon rolls add macadamia nuts with frosting. There's always a line and now you can preorder for pick up so I recommend that if you can! Here's the line at 6AM when they opened! It was worth it.“

“Breakfast buffet was absolutely delish. The freshest fruits, yummy island pastries, Portuguese sausage, rice and all the other fixings…omelette bar, fresh guava, passion, orange juice, coffee and water served table side. French toast pancakes. Asian edamame rice and potstickers. Really tasty and kea lani level service is awesome.“

“Stopped here for lunch after a morning on the beach and we were not disappointed! We had the fried mahi, fried shrimp, teriyaki chicken, and the onion rings. All items were delicious and hearty! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Make sure you stop here if you are in the Kihei area!“

“I live on Maui and stumbled on this food truck after a basketball game with my kids. Had not read the reviews, so did not know what to expect. What a treat! Just fantastic barbecue!! We ordered the baby back ribs. Best ribs on Maui and best ribs I've had in general in a long time. It's become harder and harder to find good quality food, post Covid and inflation, but this place hit the mark and would recommend it to anyone!“

“We bought sourdough bread here. It was delicious and had a lovely, perfectly chewy crust. Later, we came back and ordered a margarita pizza. The crust was amazingly thin yet robust and also delightfully chewy. Toppings were fresh and well proportioned.“

“Holly and Justin were a great duo while we we were there. The food was great and timely service. Dirty Mac and cheese is what I had along with a Loco moco and Maui Mike's margaritas.Dietary restrictions: They were answered my questions about my allergie to coconut was really helpful on my decision on what to eat.“

“Best burgers on Haleakala! Now the trick is they're open when you get there. We live here have made several trips up to enjoy the wonderful burgers. Lately however we've taken visitors up the drive to bullies, and when we arrived, they're closed. Their hours are Wednesday through Sunday. We've ride during those days lunchtime, and there's no one there Please when you're open stay open WE LOVE YOUR BURGERS Would love to see you prosper as“

“Wow!! This little pizza place was super busy and yet delivered an amazing pizza!! Very friendly service. It was neat to see the brick oven even with a mobile kitchen. The crust was crispy on the outside and chewy delicious on the inside. Lots of flavorful sauce with fresh toppings. The pizza was piping hot and totally hit the spot!“

“Hands down the best coffee I've tasted. They have the most delicious pop tarts. I went not knowing what to get. It was my first time and the lady was absolutely amazing. She was kind, helpful, recommend options,etc. Super down to earth. The truck looks super clean as well! 10/10 recommend checking them out!“

“The food is consistently 5 star quality, however, there seems to be a high turn around with their wait staff and . . .To be completely honest, the misunderstanding was all mine. Food and service is outstanding. They're not very overpriced and they have a very well-rounded menu.“

“Maui Sweet Shoppe is a delightful find for anyone craving unique and delicious ice cream on the island. Among its standout offerings, the Purple Ube ice cream is a must-try. It’s not just its vibrant color that captivates you, but the rich, creamy flavor that offers a taste of the tropics unlike any other. The shop boasts a friendly atmosphere, with staff who are as warm as the Maui sun, eager to share their love for ice cream with every guest. It’s a cozy spot to indulge in a scoop (or two) of the best local flavors, making it a perfect pit stop for both tourists and locals. Don’t miss out on this sweet experience – the Ube ice cream is a tropical treat you won’t forget.“

“Wow! Oao certainly lives up to its name! I was just gifted their Firecracker roll (mahalo Christian! So very kind of you) and it was AMAZING! Highly, highly recommend. It was so fresh and had such great flavors! I will definitely be back :)“

“We live right down the road and Maui Nui is a life saver when we realize we're low on ingredients or are just not up for cooking. Fresh ingredients and super tasty! Consistently good quality. Their farm got affected by the fire's in August, support this business!“

“Don’t know about “scenic view,” as it sits right on the main road. BUT the service was personal and friendly and the food was yummy good….finally had Loco Moco for the first time…. I’m converted! Thanks, Holly and sidekick. Donna and John“

“So good. I had the Pad Thai (3 stars-opened the sinuses). It was flavorful and the meat and veggies were tender. My husband had the Chicken Cashew Stir-fry (8 stars-had him reaching for the tissue box) and said it was delish. We both had Thai iced teas which were a perfect accompaniment to the spicy dishes. Highly recommend!“

“This place is the real deal!! Tacos were 10/10, amazing horchata and such a nice guy working behind the scenes. This is exactly where you want to go for late night eats in Kihei.Cute patio to sit and enjoy them as well.Vegetarian options: Simple menu overall that has still made space for a few vegetarian options! Love to see it.“

“This place is one of our favorite parts of coming to Maui. We like to walk here on the beach in the morning to get breakfast. Excellent German specialties like homemade pretzels, tropical pastries like passion curd buns, and a nice selection of gluten free - banana bread, biscotti, and mochi are some of my faves.Convenient parking lot, friendly helpful service too.“

“I consider myself a bit of a coffee enthusiast (a bean boy, if you will) and after trying a number of coffee spots around Maui, I can say Akamai is without a doubt the best “third wave” coffee I have experienced here. I tend to gauge a coffee shop by its straight espresso, and Akamai doesn’t disappoint. They make a well balanced shot with good acidity and they serve it in an adorable custom demitasse with sparkling water - that’s how you know they aren’t goofing around. Their menu doesn’t have traditional drinks on it - I figure to cater to a broader crowd - but the barista’s eyes light up if you order a cortado or a flat white (both of which were on point), so don’t be afraid to order your favorite drink.This particular shop in Kihei was my favorite - way less crowded than the one in Wailea which had a line of resort goers at the door before opening the day I went. The Kihei shop has immaculate vibes and the entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their craft. Aside from picturesque sunsets and wonderful endemic birds, Akamai will be what I miss most about Maui when I head home.“

“This establishment possesses considerable appeal, both in terms of its location and ambiance. Upon ordering an espresso, it was noted that the beverage exhibited an acidic profile, lending it a sour flavor, which may suggest it was under-extracted. Additionally, the mocha was found to be somewhat lacking in flavor.“

“Our server, Isaiah, was most helpful with the menu choices. We had the roasted beet salad and the Steak and Frites. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium plus, but it came out less than medium and had to be sent back to be cooked further. Other than that, it was a delicious meal in a great location.“

“Had such a lovely Sunday brunch at the club house today. Our server Monette was fabulous, she manned the whole restaurant and snack/drink station for the golfers all by herself and killed it. I got the eggs Benedict which they only serve on sundays and usually run out of before I get there. I subbed veggies for the ham it usually comes with and it was so ono. My hubby always enjoys coming here bc he hits the driving range after while I lay in the sun stuffed. Affordable food, always delicious and flavorful, excellent service, happy husband - what more do you need?!“

“For one of the best Acai Bowls and Egg Sandwich on a toasted bagel with cheddar & bacon, simply a favorite! Service is what makes me coming back. They know my name now and are more accommodating than expected. Thank you again!Kid-friendliness: My 10 year raves about the Acai bowl and wants one every day!“

“I got the garlic shrimp lunch plate and it was incredible. The shrimp were huge and the creamy cilantro sauce on top was amazing. I'm still thinking about it and wish I could buy a bottle to take home. They use huge chunks of garlic in this dish so I'm a big fan. They give a generous portion of rice and my only complaint is that it were a bit fluffier.The accompanying Mac salad was tasty and the coleslaw they made with this plate was very tasty too. It's a citrus mango vinaigrette type dressing that I've never had before and was so unique. They're located in a food truck park so there's plenty of seating and options for everyone in your group. This truck has so many options I'll definitely be back to try the tacos. Thanks for a great first meal in Maui!“

“Loved everything about this place. Decent amount of room both inside and on the patio for sitting and dining in. Large portions, and it was all delicious. Got a salmon bagel, banana muffin, acai bowl, and a paniolo breakfast. A regular coffee and a double dirty chai. All very tasty, and service was quick and super friendly. And they didn't really need to be since there's not a lot of sit down breakfast options up here. Would definitely visit again next time my family and I are in Maui/upcountry.“

“What a great find! The food was fresh and yummy, I enjoyed the juice, and oh my GOD the lilikoi crossaint I had was SO GOOD that I came back the next day and bought all remaining 3 - sorry to anyone who came after me! Thinking about moving to Maui from Oahu just to have easier access to the lilikoi crossaints. Jk. But seriously they were so good. I did seem to get incredibly lucky with the first one, which was loaded with filling, some of the ones that followed didn't have nearly as much, which was a little sad, but I still thoroughly enjoyed!“

“The closest thing to the club in Maui. This was one of the few places that was still open after 10pm. We ended up walking here since it was close to where we were staying. We didn't try any of the food since we weren't hungry. We did enjoyed our pina colada.There's a dance floor outside and around 11pm, it was packed with people. No drinks on the dance floor though. They had pretty good music and it was a lot of fun. Met a few friendly people. We were one of the few people that weren't locals there. Worth checking out for a little night life while in Maui.“

“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.“
