Kai Wailea’s sister restaurant, Kaiwa in Waikiki, is well-known for unique, creative sushi and Japanese dishes served in an elegant, comfortable restaurant with excellent, traditional service. The service is not always up to par, but the food usually is here in the Shops at Wailea. They’ve narrowed the menu down a bit since they first […]

Mama’s Ribs is a family-run joint that sells ribs, pulled pork, pot roast, and rotisserie chickens for takeout (there are a few tables, but the strip mall location is pretty barren for a meal). Ribs are slightly dry and not juicy enough for us in the Napili location, but better in Kihei. We like the […]

Beer lovers should absolutely visit Maui Brewing Company Brew Pub, the island’s only microbrewery. The sustainably-minded company crafts excellent, national award-winning brews, and we especially recommend the pale, clean-flavored Bikini Blonde and the dark chocolatey CoCoNut Porter. Ordering a flight of beer lets you sample several at once — including the short-run beers that are […]

This restaurant fronting Kahului Harbor used to house an upscale chain steak house: Chart House. Now, it doesn’t. While very popular with some locals for their buffet lunch and brunch loaded up with Hawaiian and local dishes, it’s not popular with us. It’s designed for — and perfect for — tourists who want to debark […]

Fat Daddy’s makes good Texas barbecue by smoking meats in their own smoker behind the restaurant and serving them up with traditional sides like macaroni and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything is made from scratch. If you haven’t had Texas barbecue, you should know that it’s supposed to be bright pink inside and […]
