Best Casual Restaurants in Maalaea

Service was amazing. My waiter, Randall gave me honest recommendations that turned out to be spot on. He took pics for me too! The view and ambiance were delightful, especially seeing the sunset over the ocean. The food was delicious! Eating here was an amazing experience. There was a couple dining at the next table who came from the Four Seasons and commented that it was the best meal they’d had all week. I recommend dining here if you’re in the area.

Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!

This was the best meal we have had in quite a while! We ordered a whole bunch of dishes to share. It was definitely a splurge, but worth it. We had a wonderful evening.

The food was delicious and the wait staff was super friendly. I ordered the Ceasar salad with grilled ahi and was pleasantly surprised with the serving size of the grilled ahi. Usually the add-on proteins at most restaurants is pretty small and this was big and delicious! We also loved the $3 draft beers for happy hour. We will definitely return!

Family out for midweek dinner. Sat outside on patio, comfortable breeze, attractive setting with barrier to parking lot. We chose the grilled chicken mole diner and burrito dinner. Both excellent. There mole sauce is outstanding and the chicken tender and tasty. Beers on tap with chilled mugs. Waitstaff very attentive.
