20 Best American Restaurants in Lahaina

“Really very good. The wait was not ideal, but the place was small and excellent, so a wait is expected! Service was great, and the food was exceptional and fast.

Only gripe is the salsa was clearly from a bottle and it did downgrade the magnificent burrito and fresh ingredients a bit. :(“

“A great place to eat on Kaanapali Beach! This beach front setting provides casual dining with great food, service with a smile and beautiful Maui sunsets. Our Maui vacations always include visits to the Castaway Cafe. Their prime rib and fish tacos do not disappoint! We will be back!“

“We love going to Leilani’s on the Beach. The service is top-notch, and the setting cannot be beat (although admittedly, many Maui b chaise restaurants match it… West Maui is amazing!). Every meal we’ve tried has been delicious. When we first visited in 2008, it inspired us to name our daughter-to-come Leilani. She is now 17 and we are on our way back soon for her grad trip. Can’t wait to see you in April!“

“Best Mai tai in Maui! The food is excellent“

“Because you are at the resort expect to pay quite a bit for a drink and food. It’s very convenient as it is right by the pool, so you don’t need to go far for lunch as you are lounging. Ended up getting a pina colda which was not the best. It hurt paying so much for a not very tasty drink. Plenty of other options that were likely better.“

“We stopped by here nearly every day of our vacation on Maui. The staff were exceptional, especially Max and Caitlyn. Both of them went above and beyond for us. The food was fantastic. The sliders appetizers, both beef and pulled pork, were delicious and more than enough for a meal. The wings were great. My favorite was the garlic parmesan fries. The drinks were just boozy enough, if a bit pricy, but what do you expect from a high end resort in Hawaii? Try the daily specials; they cost less and tasted great.“

“This place is very a very unique and interesting place!! We had breakfast and we’re served by a new server from Cali “ Mati” like us!! And she was not only a sweetheart but fast and one of the only servers doing circles in the whole restaurant and still making sure we we’re doing okay the whole time. The food was great. And definitely will be back??“

“Food was exceptional, possibly the best on the island. That being said the service was lacking for an Applebees let alone a restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. Server was nice and so were all those assisting but took a long time to get basic drinks like cranberry juice and went long periods of time without water refills. Possibly short staffed that night, but have nothing else to compare to but the one evening. Again the food was amazing.“

“Beautiful atmosphere. Great steak. Great drinks. Wonderful service“

“We’ve been here 3 times and love it! We will be back again this winter 2027.“

“If you want to pay a premium for your order, and then not get what you ordered, please pay a visit to The Burger Den! oh and if you ordered through a delivery service or their website, good luck finding a phone number to contact them when they fudge your order. Food 7/10 Service 0/10 reliability 0/10“

“Oh Em Gee. Listen. The burger was probably one of the best burgers I'd ever had.

It is a resort restaurant, and worth every penny! Right off the beach of Black Rock Beach and easy to access.

Shade seating as well.

Don't miss this spot!“

“With the Marriott discount card (get it from the welcome center), the menu items will cost 10% less. It all adds up. On Taco Tuesday, the tacos are $15 instead of $19 (and 10% less with the card). We ate them last year and didn't think they were overly impressive but this year ... wow! What a difference! The fish was plentiful (as was the shrimp) and the tortilla chips were so much nicer than fries. Our guests raved about the Lobster Sensation Grilled Cheese as well as their hot dogs and chicken tenders. On 6 days of the week, there are additional menu options and are offered as "Beach Walk Nightly Events: 5-7 pm) and 4 of those events are going to be outside the Kau Kau and will border the walkway. Those special Kau Kau nights do not include Sunday and will feature one of these nightly: Teppanyaki, Tacos, BBQ, family pasta night, Hawaiian BBQ, and prime rib. Also try the Makai Tiki Bar. Do not overlook walking down to Whalers Village for the excellent options at the Food Court there.“

“our dinner last evening was perfect. I had the seafood platter and my husband had a steak. Everything was done just right - beautiful presentation- peaceful, lovely setting. We had a delicious dessert - can't remember the name, but it was a chocolate/coffee ice cream pie 🤷❤️“

“The vegetable and tofu stir fry is excellent. The cauliflower had that wonderful, subtle charred flavor that comes from stir frying at high heat. The pizza from kid’s menu was pretty tasty as well. Overall they have decent vegetarian options. I’m pleasantly surprised how much better the food is here compared to the two neighboring Westins.“

“We came here for tomohawk Tuesday and it was great! Highly recommend it was a coursed meal with shareable Caesar salad followed by the tomahawk(we got two orders of the dinner so each tomahawk was shared by three of us) and was served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The broccolini was also really yummy and was crispy with a little citrus on it (had to give a shout out!). And then ends with a shareable dessert of ice cream and waffle. We also got the calamari and potstickers to start that were also yummy. Great service and easy to get to!“

“The best bartenders of any where we went! Jason Amy and Maybel were friendly, informative and efficient. Service with a smile and genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our time there. Thanks to the team!“

“Best place for football Sunday on the beach!!“

“We found this spot when we wanted a dinner that felt fun but not complicated, and it nailed that. We ordered the kalua pork and cabbage plate and the teriyaki cheesesteak sandwich, and both were genuinely delicious. It’s the kind of place where you can eat well, talk about the day, and leave already thinking about what you’d try next time. We featured it in our YouTube video, search for “Replicate the Magic” on YouTube to find it.“
