4 Best Burger Restaurants near Makawao

“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!“

“If you live Upcountry like me, you already know — sometimes you just want a fat, juicy burger that hits just right. Stewz has become one of my go-tos for exactly that. Whether I’m grabbing a bite in Kihei or cruising through the Pukalani food truck scene, it’s the same solid burger every time: flavorful, stacked, and cooked with aloha.

The Kula Burger? Game changer. That chipotle lime aioli and avocado combo is doing way more than it needs to — in a good way. And don’t sleep on the onion rings or sweet potato fries. They’re crispy, golden, and make you feel slightly better about your choices (sweet potato’s basically a health food, yeah?).

Service is friendly, but you’re on island time here, so if there’s a line, just chill. Worth the wait. The Kihei spot has that open-air, breezy vibe perfect after a beach day, and the Pukalani truck is clutch when you’re craving something hearty Upcountry without heading too far down the hill.

Bottom line: Stewz is one of those places you recommend when someone says, “Where can I get a real burger on Maui?” It’s not trying to be fancy — just fresh, ono, and local-style dependable. And that’s more than enough for me.“

“Some of the best chicken tacos I have ever had in my life! And the staff are super friendly and awesome! Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been ordering pizza to take home for years it’s always good.If you like a business please tell them give them 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️it’s very hard to run a small business after covid please take the time to thank them it really goes a long way“
