29 Best American Restaurants near Wailea

“Super food, excellent service Totally recommend it Again soon“

“Lizmailyn was one of the kindest and most incredible waitresses I’ve ever came across in my entire life. The food was obviously amazing, but her personal touch and life experience was stunning and I couldn’t respect and appreciate another person more than her. Love this place and the incredible people they hire!“

“We held some meeting at the Kapa bar and grill during the AMOS conference. The staff did an amazing job taking care of our tables and being patient with the total amount of time we spent at the grill. Every staff member was pleasant and smiled the whole time. Well done!“

“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!“

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

“outside patio has wonderful views and the food was 🤯“

“I love Moose's for: the beautiful sunsets, delicious food, awesome atmosphere,welcoming staff (shout out to hard working wait staff, Amy and Laura!), & fun Trivia Night winning Moose Bucks! I highly recommend this watering hole and the wide variety of Happy Hour options! Check out Moose's! 🫎“

“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.“

“Chicken potstickers and coconut shrimp both very good. Fish tacos good - can’t say excellent as slightly overcooked and accompanying sauce was not the best I’ve had - a little under-flavored. That said, service was kind, courteous and *unobtrusive* and the view of the sunset cannot be beat. Beautiful setting! We will be back to sample more menu options - like the deep fried pickle chips.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Gutes Frühstück und nettes Personal“

“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!“

“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. 🌺“

“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!“

“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!“

“This has always been one of our most favorite restaurants. All dishes they offer are simply outstanding. This time we had Ahi Poke Nachos, Steak Poke and the Ramen dish. So incredibly tasty for a very good price. And what a view!
Update: We visited today again - Had the best Poke bowl ever. This is a must - highly recommended!🤙🤙
Update 2: We visited yet again yesterday. The food keeps on getting better. The crispy pork belly appetizer was beyond excellent. One of the best dish we ever had. Ahi & Steak Pokd were outstanding as always. I would give more than five stars if it would be possible.😀“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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". :)“

“Fantastic place for a morning coffee and pastry or a quick breakfast. Outdoor patio seating with beautiful scenery overlooking the Grand Wailea gardens with an ocean view. The breakfast pastries were absolutely amazing. They also have a Portuguese sausage in one of their breakfast bowls that is perfection for flavor and texture. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient as they have a surprisingly large menu to go through. You can also order to go and take food up to your balcony or down to the beach. We saw a lot of people getting their pizzas later in the day but didn't try it ourselves. We did get the gelatos. The dark chocolate was the best as the other flavors were a bit sweet for my taste, but everyone else loved them all.“
