Waikiki Brewing Company, South Side

We didn’t order food so can’t contribute any rating towards that. We did have drinks and the happy hour deal is pretty good. Decent set of craft beers. Wines, mai tais, and pina coladas. Great happy hour prices including a discount on apps.

Service was great. Even though we only had drinks they were attentive and very nice. And they have the woody brewery vibe. A few scattered tv’s. Good enough to watch the game of the hour.

Excellent for a mid afternoon booze break from walking the mall to cool off.

Wandering around the Shops at Wailea we found ourselves at Waikiki Brewing Company looking for some quick drinks and a place to watch the game. What we found were some good drinks but I’ll get to that in a minute. Getting to the place is easy enough and there’s mall parking so no issues there. We were seated quickly and the service was good. We ordered a piña colada and lava float and both were pretty good, both also on the slightly stronger side. We didn’t order food but they do have a good menu of appetizers and other eats. Alongside the drinks, we also watched some sports on their TVs, although the TVs are small so don’t expect a sports bar like vibe. Altogether, this place is pretty nice and the drinks are good. Worth a stop by if you’re browsing the shopping area and want a cool drink to chill off with.

Great experience. Good food. Great beer. Loved the Eee Pah IPA and the Skinny Jeans IPA. Wife enjoyed the Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale. The server was amazing, attentive, and went out of her way to make sure we always had what we needed.

Loved the fact that she asked if we wanted another beer before our first one was finished. Walked over from the hotel, so I was ready to have more since I wasn't driving. Happy I did. Burger was OK, nothing to write home about. Son like the steak. I enjoyed the Loco Moco, although I have had better. I was there for the beer anyways, and enjoyed a good experience as well.

Didn't stay for dessert since we were grabbing ice cream on the way out, but would have liked to try the creme brule. Hopefully, you will get a review from someone else for that.

Great time. Would recommend for the beer and experience alone.

A nice open air pub with good food.

Really enjoyed this restaurant, the mimosa flights were great loved all the flavors. We all ate burgers and fries and it was great the service is great as well.

We spent 5 days on Maui and ate there three times. My husband consistently loved the smashed burger, 3 times in a row, I tried the mahi mahi Captain’s plate I think but fell in love with the fish tacos! And the servers were really great about my beer: I complained that the large size they serve would get warm before I finish and they brought me half beer first then the other and they were cold until the end of dinner 🙂 that was a step extra and I appreciated the effort ! Good prices and a laid back atmosphere- our favorite lunch in Maui . I have no pictures because we always jumped on the food with such enthusiasm that nobody remembered to take pics…😁 except for one last blackened fish taco, mahi mahi was the fresh catch…and an excellent sauce with it!

Love this place. We have been here 3 times in 2 days! The bartender was amazing. The hostess was so sweet. I can't wait to come back!

This is a 5 star place! Food is amazing! Recommend the Coconut Shrimp and Wailea wrap! Great price!

Amazing beers and delicious food! M.A.C.K. Daddy ftw!! and Ahi nachos...yum

Waikiki Brewing Co. has a fantastic atmosphere, and the overall vibe made it a great place to unwind. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive, which added to the relaxed and welcoming environment.

The drinks were solid, and we enjoyed sipping on a couple while taking in the laid-back ambiance. However, the food fell a bit short. We had the poke, but the tuna had a fishy taste that wasn’t very fresh. The pretzel was large and visually appealing but, unfortunately, lacked flavor—almost completely tasteless.

Even though the food wasn’t quite what we hoped for, the experience of just chilling with good drinks in a great setting made up for it. It’s definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere and drinks, even if the food didn’t hit the mark for us.

Food and service were terrible. Table was wet and stocky upon arrival. Host and waitress were not focused on good customer service were unfriendly and took far too long. House favorite shrimp fried rice was cold upon serving and overall just a poor experience. Would not return.

Garbage.. Run away as fast as you can!!! The moment we sat down, my wife looked at me and said "should we leave". I messed up by not walking out.

To start the food was HORRIBLE! Pretzel was good but cheese dip was cold and stiff. Kids meals were literally unedible. They put 2 extremely small pieces of old mellon and a dried out pinapple on the plate to compliment 2 of the smallest burnt chicken fingers you ever seen. The mac and cheese was cold, old, off brand boxed. The fries were cold and old... My steak sandwich was chewy, stringy and had no flavor, little to no sauce, and was impossible to eat. Wedge salad was laughable, but it was as described. A wedge of lettuce with no sauce and when we told the waitress she charged us for a thimble full.

Brunette Waitress was very nice but blonde host was extremely rude.

I was never asked how my food was...I paid in full and tipped 18%. Not worth the trouble or a scene and I would never wany to come off as a deadbeat.

Just missed the mark on a lot of things. It felt like a strange mix of brewery and an actual restaurant (e.g., having to wait for seating but also having to grab our own waters, but also getting service at the table). We both started with the Jalapeño Mouth which was solid (though does get a bit hoppier tasting as you go). We ordered the onion rings which were nice and crispy with a good buttermilk ranch dressing (might taste good with something with a bit more of a zing to it). Our meals were OK. Pulled pork sandwich was very soggy on the bottom. Super slaw was pretty bland. Coconut fried rice was the same. Not bad but bland. It could have used more sauce to help balance things out. Our server was very attentive. It looked like she had about 7 tables across most of the restaurant which made it harder to check in super frequently but she was the most solid part of our visit.

Service was good, if inconsistent. Our waitress tried hard but the bartender was horrible. I would say 5 stars for the waitress and 0 stars for the bartender who seemed angry and kept forgetting our lime for our drinks. The restaurant claimed to be "worlds best hamburger" but you can forget about that. It was so below par that I thought they might have microwaved the burger and sent it to me. My wife ordered tuna and said she felt nauseous afterward. She had to take medication to get through the night. But the worst part of this place was the restrooms. It was so revolting and disgusting that Hawaii Health and Food Safety would have shut this place down had they seen it. Sorry we will never return to this place ever again. I remember coming here years ago and it was quite decent. Man, things have really gone south since.
