“Had one of the best beef burgers of my life! The jalapeño avocado burger after a day of horseback riding at Triple L ranch was to die for. I love the little store here too - cute souvenirs and t shirts. Even if you aren’t horse back riding, which I highly recommend, this part of the island is quite charming and worth the drive just to explore!“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“

“Breakfast menu was limited but food was excellent! Good portions, great fried potatoes and bacon if you get the egg breakfast. Breakfast sandwich is also amazing. Friendly staff. Be aware that if you’re youngish and looking for some night life while staying at the connected Maui Coast Hotel, this probably isn’t it. Clientele was definitely on the older side.“

“This place has the best hotdogs, 10/10!!!! Oh and Kelsey…. I got back to Canada yesterday and saw this photo at work today, figured I had to say something. I bought the hotel in Colombia. Thanks for the advice haha was nice chatting with you in the airport before my flight 💫 hope you enjoyed Portugal with your partner!“

“Delicious fresh farm to table food. The tomato soup was divine and the steak, the steak was cooked perfectly. I was in heaven. There was a loud party of ppl which was a little disturbing only bc I was in quiet mode. The hostess graciously moved me, which i really appreciated.“

“All of the staff is amazing, Keoni and Nadine are two people that took extremely good care of a big group of people I flew in from Nashville for a songwriters festival. I can't say enough how incredible they are and the whole vibe and experience at the Botero lounge is fantastic. We will be back!“

“First time customers tonight and absolutely loved this place! Avery was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions His partner Jeremy rounded out our five star experience and we will be back before leaving for the mainland! Delicious 😋 😋“

“It's a nice place for cocktails and bar food at sunset. The servers are friendly and will mix any drink you ask for. Combine it with a burger and you have a nice evening out. It's open seating so there may not be any tables open. But there was plenty of room around the bar.“

“The luau at gilligans was absolutely amazing!! The staff is an amazing group of people, very friendly and inviting, the luau was interactive and at the end we felt like old friends! The food was plentiful and amazing and the drinks were even more so!! Would recommend if you’re looking for a smaller more intimate luau.“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“

I was ready for a meal of exceptional quality and got not only quality, but quantity. Beautifully plated and fun. Definitely the best dining experience of my life.“

“Fantastic food!! Great service!“

“Service was fantastic. Very quick and attentive service. Highly recommended“

“We were looking for a restaurant in Kahului for a supper prior to catching our flight home. We were lucky to find this gem! The restaurant is a small, non-assuming space in a commercial area. However, the garden eating area is nicely set up and inviting. Our hostess and serving staff were very friendly and informative. The food was excellent. I had the Rouladen and my wife had pork tenderloin Daily special. Both were good size portions and delectable. We also enjoyed an apple strudel. I would definitely return to this restaurant.“

“The 50’s diner feel was real! Staff was super accommodating. The Betty Boop art takes you back. Loved the jukebox. Milkshakes were delish! Our burgers did not disappoint! The house sauce gives it that Maui feel!“

“Absolutely incredible dinner. Best mai tai we had and the tempura pink snapper WOW- life changing! Please make it a regular on the menu!!!“

“We ordered two breakfast sandwiches, one Spam, egg, and cheese, and the other Portuguese saugage(linguica), egg, and cheese. They both had great flavor, and were a decent portion, for a good price! The two sandwiches cost us less than one cost at a different breakfast spot we went to previously. The restaurant itself isn't very updated, but don't let that fool you!“

“We had a wonderful time sitting at the lobby lounge watching the hula dancer and singer over drinks and sushi. The singer really amazed us with his wonderful voice our whole table could not get over how great he was. We could have stayed and listened to him sing all night. We asked and he said he could be found on Spotify as Hoaka. That music is him with another guy and it’s not exactly the same as what he was doing solo. I wish I could find a playlist of just him and what he was singing during the hula show. It was so good! Everybody we encountered from the hostesses to guys clearing tables to the manager, everybody was just so sweet. Our waitress was not that friendly but everybody else made up for it. It was my sisters birthday and we just loved our time there. The drinks, alcoholic and non, were very good. Sushi was great. It’s a beautiful resort with the ocean view and breeze coming through. There was a guy that came and blew the conch before going to light torches around the resort. We wanted to keep listening to the singer so we didn’t follow him. Definitely would recommend lobby lounge and would come back again!“

“Super friendly waiters, fast on delivering food. High quality taste and even higher quality atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“One of my favorite upcountry restaurants. I am always pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. 🌺“

“Wanted a nice meal at their restaurant & they put us in a tight table. I asked the hostess to please move us as there was a huge plant crowding Jon & almost getting into his face. The hostess retorted sarcastically, "we can move the plant.". How's that for keeping a patron happy 🤣 Tommy Bahama“

“Saw The Clowns from Orange County play at PBCB! Outrageously fun show! Great venue for live music both local and mainland bands! Great food and drink prices!“

“I cried good tears this morning. I've never in my life cried because of how divine the food was. I ordered the crab cakes benedict, usually when I order crab cakes it's a hash brown with little bits of crab meat but this one is purely crab and it was so fresh like it was caught in the early hours before restaurant opened. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was heavenly. It was love on a plate, my compliments to the chef! Service was absolutely wonderful, lovely and welcoming ladies. They were very attentive and efficient. Mahalo nui loa! 🌺“

“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.“

“It's a bummer that they don't have musubi anymore (bring it back?), but my favorite thing to get when I'm flying out of OGG is a hot dog from this place. I used to get a musubi AND a hot dog. Reliable and friendly, nothing fancy, it's exactly what a hot dog truck in an airport ahould be.“

“Great place great service friendly staff very nice food live music“

“Kappa Signature top shelf Mai Tai did the job!

3pm lunch on Monday. Great music from the pool and great service. Food was quick and tasted great. Came the night before and staff was not as welcoming.

Hand roll: 8/10 - great
Catch of the day taco: 5/10 - would pass
Top shelf Mai Tai: 10/10

Would recommend for a quick bite, not dinner or anything unless casual.

Cynthia (server) was amazing.“

“What a fantastic performance Brenton put on with Mulligan's Magic Show! I had heard about this show from another family we met while horseback riding one day on our trip to Maui and we literally altered our Road to Hana day to be back in time for this show... and we were SO GLAD we did! It was the perfect evening and a nice break away from just seeing the beauty of nature. Brenton was funny, engaging, family friendly, and full of energy but he was also SO talented with his magic! I have a 21 and 18 year old and they were so impressed, laughing most of the night. We caught a couple of his tricks on video and posted them and our Facebook friends were in awe too! This show is WELL worth your time and money, and Mulligans offered fantastic dinner options too. Go see the show if you get the chance - you won't regret it! It's truly... well, "magical". :)“

“Service is fast and friendly despite all us annoying tourists.
The food is what can take a long time coming out, which is pretty obvious when one sees a line out the door.
If one doesn’t want to wait for food, just grab one of the ready made sandwiches and/or salads.

As someone who doesn’t live in the USA anymore, it was great to see Erewhon products sold in Maui.“

“Today me and wife had breakfast haven’t been here for awhile food was awesome and we had the bestest server Jocel she has plenty of Aloha! And she was on her A game Bestest server we ever had!“

“The food was pretty good. It is in the airport so it was a little busy. But you can order and pay at your table if it gets too busy. The noise level is a little loud but you can still have a conversation without a problem. I liked the vibe.“
