50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kula

“The Ocean Vodka Organic Farm and Distillery is more than just a stop for spirits tasting; it is a true sensory experience and a guaranteed highlight of any Maui trip. From the moment you arrive, the meticulously maintained grounds and stunning landscaping set a serene, tropical tone.
The centerpiece of the visit is undeniably the view from the lawn. It is truly breathtaking, offering a panoramic expanse that perfectly frames the afternoon. We were lucky enough to watch the sunset from this vantage point, and the sight of the sun dipping below the horizon was nothing short of perfect—a moment straight out of a postcard.
Beyond the scenery, the culinary offerings were outstanding. We started with the legendary Poke Nachos, and they were a game-changer. The clever use of crispy wonton chips in place of traditional nachos was a chef's kiss moment, providing the perfect, light crunch for the fresh poke topping.
Our entrees continued the trend of excellence. My kids raved about the DaBeest Burger, unanimously declaring it one of the best they had ever tasted. I had the Chopped Salad with Sesame Ahi, which was delightful—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. My wife’s choice, the Poke Tacos, had an outstanding presentation that matched the quality of the ingredients inside.
The Ocean Distillery has immediately secured a spot on our must-visit list for every future trip to Maui. Whether you come for the cocktails, the view, or the food, you will leave feeling rejuvenated and thoroughly impressed. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Best Food truck we’ve been to in Maui Hawaii 🙂!! Trust me we tried a lot. So healthy and delicious flavor love the chicken stir fry! Salad dressing is amazing. In my opinion they have the best Smoothies! Don’t hesitate to stop and try“

“Life changing banana bread! By far the best I've ever had !☆☆☆☆☆😋“

“This food truck is awesome! The food is so flavorful and everything I’ve tried is delicious. The elote and churros are soooo good! Wonderful food and wonderful owners!“

“Best iced coffee I’ve ever had, I’ll be back our next Maui trip, every day!🫶🏻 Please get a location near Portland Oregon!😂🙏“

“Perfect and just right for a sunny afternoon by the pool!!! Love the fresh fruit on top! 💯“

“I know what you might be thinking when you see this place. Should I really bother trying to get genuine BBQ in Maui? Will this really stack up to a Carolina, Memphis, KC or Texas joint? Surprisingly, yes.

These folks know what they're doing, are super friendly, and their BBQ is legit. They're using local wood in their offsets too, so it is a unique experience compared to other places.

Can't go wrong with their ribs and I loved every side I tried, with the Mac n Cheese being a standout.“

“Quite possibly the best fish tacos I have ever had. And the portions are more than generous. Unbelievably fresh and delicious. It’s not a question of IF we will be back, only a question of how many times.“

“Food was yummy and atmosphere was friendly.“

“The proprietor is the most personable vendor I’ve encountered this week. My family and I have visited the truck several times and missed him yesterday when he was sick; the local alternative was disappointing and more expensive. Godspeed Gus! Hope to see you today!❤️🙏🏽“

“Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous staff“

“Our last day on Maui brought us to Freshies! Delicious and highly recommend! Pinto beans, and the garlic chicken soup, wow! And the local beef used for the burger, so good! Mahalo!“

“We went to a local place for lunch that had great reviews and were very disappointed. Came across this amazing food truck and randomly ordered a few things……ended up coming back not even an hour later to order more. Great portions, food was so good! Made to order and so yummy! The wasabi cream sauce is 🤤🤤🤤 Give this truck a try! Best meal on Maui after a week of trying different local spots!“

“When of the families, favorite restaurants always good food and great service“

“808 deli has the best sandwiches and salads on the island.“

“Great local food. I highly recommend them if you’re a local or on vacation.“

“Aloha
Amazing food . Highly recommend this vegan place in Maui ! All the vegetarian out there should definitely checkout this place. We tried the protein focaccia sandwich, supreme burger and matcha with maple syrup. Everything was amazing.“

“My husband, daughter and I visited Sweet Hula in mid-June 2025 and had the best açaí bowls in Hawaii! We were in Maui for three days during the last leg of our trip and ate here every morning. During our vacation we visited three islands (Oahu, Island of Hawaii and Maui) and had Açaí bowls almost every morning. Sweet Hula ended up being our absolute favorite of the five different places we tried. The folks who helped us each day were the BEST. They always greeted us with a smile and were so sweet and kind. They accommodated any topping change requests that we needed and the bowls always came out quickly. The large size bowls were perfect for keeping us fueled up for a day full of hiking and swimming. The açaí base was perfectly frozen and the toppings were super fresh and generously portioned. We also had some of their delicious, fresh banana bread that was perfect to snack on throughout the day. We’ve been back home in NC for two weeks now and we still talk about the Sweet Hula bowls and how much we miss them. Please go visit the folks at Sweet Hula and let us live vicariously through you!! Mahalo!“

“Delicious! I got Da Boss! And it more than delivered! Sooooo delicious!😋“

“Best shaved ice I have ever had! Loved the coconut ice cream at the bottom ❤️“

“Drove 45mins to try out their cinnamon roll. Worth the drive! Very good!“

“Great ice cream and e has Dole Whip also. Definitely will visit again before going home. Highly recommend this place.“

“My Thai’s atmosphere was different than any restaurant I’ve seen before and seems to be very personality-driven. Matthew was great and greeted us, giving us complimentary water while we waited and mango sticky rice (delicious!) when he learned that we were honeymooners. We also got the orange chicken bao.“

“What a great bakery, the coffee is excellent. And the malasadas are so yummy.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.“

“The seasoning on the fish n chips was delicious! Service is fast and staff is great! I had cod fish n chips and my husband had Ono grilled fish tacos with sliced cabbage and sauce was amazing“

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!“

“Hands down the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten“

“Kihei Fish House by Maui Grill: Fresh Flavors, Worth the Wait!

Kihei Fish House by Maui Grill is a highly recommended spot! Their coconut shrimp are delicious, and the grilled mahi-mahi with special sauce is so yummy. Every plate comes with tasty rice, sweet potato salad, and green salad. All the meals are consistently good! While the waiting time can be a bit long, the shaded outdoor seating with 6 long tables makes it comfortable. Definitely check this place out for fantastic seafood.“

“Couldn’t say enough good things about this place. Loved it so much. Great coffee and the nicest people working there.“

“I can confidently say Spoon & Key Market has officially made it into my Top 3 favorite restaurants in Maui, and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now! I went this past Friday night with some friends, and from the moment we walked in, I was hooked. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfectly lit, no noise, no rush, just a beautiful setting to truly enjoy food and conversation.

Every single dish we tried felt like it was straight out of a Food Channel feature. I’m usually not a fan of chicken, yet here I found myself wanting plate after plate, we actually re-ordered it right after finishing the first serving because it was that impressive. The octopus was another standout favorite, and honestly, saying I didn’t like something would be a total lie because everything was flawless.

The cocktails were just as memorable, fresh, balanced, and clearly made with quality ingredients. You can truly taste the cucumber, herbs, and even the fresh lavender they use (yes, actual sprigs of lavender!). And let’s not forget dessert, absolutely divine.

What blew me away was realizing they’ve been open for two years, two years I’ve been missing out on this gem! The moment I tasted the first dish, I was already texting my husband saying, “how do we not know this place?” I can’t wait to go back with him so he can experience it too.

Five stars don’t even come close, if I could leave 100, I would. Whether you’re local to Maui or visiting, do yourself the best favor and come eat at Spoon & Key Market. We went for dinner, but I hear they also serve breakfast, and lunch, and I can’t wait to try them all.“

“If you're looking for shave ice in Maui, then hit this spot. Refreshing flavors and tons of options to choose from. I've tried the POG, Grape and Litchi flavors. Litchi was my top favorite. If you like mochi, don't forget to top yours with mochi on top. But the place is quite popular and there's always a wait but the line moves quickly though because their service is pretty quick!“

“Prices are now $1/scoop so $2 for 2 scoops, $4 for 4 scoops. Scoops are small but pricing is reasonable. I preferred the pineapple to the strawberry which tasted more artificial to me (bubblegum flavor). Short line on a Tues afternoon and friendly staff“

“I ordered the combo plate of garlic shrimp and garlic ahi katsu.

It was utterly divine!!!! I wish I could take this plate home on the flight. I wouldn’t miss out on this meal.

My husband got the combo plate with the fukake fried poke and the ribeye and it was mouth watering. ALL the flavor and juiciness you could imagine. I 1000000000000% would recommend.“

“The best ice cream I’ve had on the island and maybe ever. My wife would agree as well! Small batch, made in-house and very unique flavors that will appeal to everyone. Mia was so sweet to us and our daughter. Her service made me feel like she truly cared about our experience and for that, we will be back before we leave the island!“

“Absolutely. This is the one MUST STOP destination in the #roadtohana. Not for just the great coconuts, fruit or food but the chance to interact with Gale the owner and his crew. Truly enjoyed talking to him and learning a lot about Maui. 😍😍😍😍👏🏽“

“Food was delicious and the hospitality was over the top! If we are ever in Maui again🙏 we will definitely be stopping by again 🥰“

“Great plate lunch crispy salads everything I have been there. Disappointed in the burgers and eggs on the loco moco. different crew on different days.“

“Really good Filipino food. Extra large servings! Freshly cooked so it was a bit of a wait but very much worth the time. Our group of 10 people really enjoyed all the dishes especially the grilled pork, pompano and bangus. Forgot to take photos of the food as we dug right in! Worth the trip! Jayboy himself cooked the dishes then came out to have a nice chat with our group. Friendly guy.“

“If you come to Maui this is definitely a place to enjoy a home cooked breakfast or lunch. I’m here from Utah for 7 days and my son took me there. Excellent atmosphere. And the food was delicious at a reasonable price.“

“I apologize because I confused you with another coffee company :( You all were so amazing during COVID with us HUNGRY HOMELESS HERO delivery volunteers. Thank you 🙏 so much for your hospitality 🙌 Aloha 🤙🏽“

“Daniel at Mexirican Mix is crushing it. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and seriously the best Mexican I’ve had on the island. You can tell he puts heart into everything he makes. This is a weekly must for us! If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out!“

“I apologize because I confused you with another coffee company :( You all were so amazing during COVID with us HUNGRY HOMELESS HERO delivery volunteers. Thank you 🙏 so much for your hospitality 🙌 Aloha 🤙🏽“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re looking for a pho-nomenal spot in Kihei, this is it! 🍜 The broth at Pho Noodle Bar is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — definitely made with love. The noodles are cooked just right, and the portions are generous enough to make you say what the pho!

The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is super friendly, and everything comes out fresh and fast. Whether you’re craving comfort food or just want to pho-get your worries for a bit, this place hits the spot every time.

Hands down one of the best pho bowls on Maui — un-pho-gettable! 👏“

“Great location, fresh food, and service!!“

“We got iced coffee, tropical shaved ice, poke, nachos, and the banana bread dessert (heavenly). Dessert was to die for. Everything was delicious.“

“Excellent tasting fresh wraps that are so yummy I can’t recommend them enough. Great coffee as well. Really love the atmosphere and Gina and the staff are absolutely outstanding just super accommodating just lovely. If you’re in the area definitely recommend Thats a Wrap. Absolutely love the local art on display it’s gorgeous. We will be back love Tina and Steve from New Zealand.“

“The BEST Thai I have ever had!🙏“
