PJ LouryJanuary 26, 2019Amazing ambience and even better food! Loved the ono/mahi mahi special, the ono had a delicate smokiness to it and came with a green curry-like sauce. The hula pie and poke tacos were both bomb.com!
Flyy MahmiJuly 9, 2017Food chic meets casual beachside ambiance.BABY SPINACH W/BACON SALAD LOBSTER & SCALLOP POTSTICKERS HAWAIIAN SALT & PEPPER RIBEYE (I shared this plate w/hubby it came w/potatoes, asparagus.
Awesome staff! Awesome food! They have a 3 course Chef's Tasting pretty much daily from 4:45pm to 5:45pm for $26 that was perfectly portioned! Enjoyed the nightly live music as well
Gabi MetzJuly 8, 2015Ahi tuna, steak and pan seared mahi mahi were all delicious. The bread with the sweet and sour sauce is a must. Ensure u leave some room for the hula pie! Yummie!
Missy PaulsonAugust 12, 2012The atmosphere is amazing. Put you're feet in the sand and enjoy the view and awesome food. Best shrimp cocktail and lava flows. Happy hour is from 3-5 but only includes limited drinks.
Jess KaoAugust 31, 2014Pretty good food and drinks. Good beach front restaurant and service. Try the daily specials to get the freshest picks of the day. Also definitely get the ahi poke tacos. Melt in your mouth!
Audrie BethSeptember 14, 2018Salads are disappointingly small. The drink with hibiscus and gin was delicious! Nice service and a beautiful view. Don't forget to have the server validate your parking ticket.- PJ LouryJanuary 26, 2019Gotta try this mahi mahi and ono fish special. Comes with a delicious green curry-like sauce. Ono has a delicious smokiness to it!
Paul MarshallFebruary 21, 2016We have eaten at Hula grill the past three nights and it is 5 star! The smoked chicken, macadamia crusted dorado and pan seared tuna was awesome!! The service was great!!!
Amy RobertsonApril 11, 2019If you sit at the bar inside you can order from both menus. Their version of a Hawaiian style pizza is amazing
Greg JosephJanuary 15, 2015Even if you are not a Mai Tai fan the ones they make here are amazing. Plus they come in a cool tiki glass. The firecracker fish was also delicious! !
Rhi MMay 2, 2014They have tables that have beautiful views of the sunset. The ceviche is good! If your gluten free they will make you fresh taro chips even at lunch (they have them at dinner)
Merve ANovember 26, 2017We ate a special and snapper from the menu, both were amazing. Service is really nice. Ambiance is pretty Hawaiian with the live music.
Geoff TrimpolMay 5, 2013Their Island fruit sampler for $10 is great. Served with a piña colada dip. At lunch Gado Gado salad is great (no egg!). Lettuce wraps can be ordered with tofu...
Javier ValeroNovember 17, 2013Wonderful place next to the beach. Amazing fish dishes and desserts too. Try the inverted pineapple cake dessert.
Irina CotanisFebruary 3, 2012Great dinning place; very tasty food; very friendly service; great ocean view (barefoot area). On top of everything, very decently priced; walk ins only for barefoot area and about 45min waiting time
Lance LacoffOctober 25, 2014Good sunset spot at the barefoot bar. Crab wontons were good as well as the drinks and access to local beers. Friendly staff
Olof MoriyaSeptember 16, 2014Great view and great food. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. They make a really good fish taco
Micha DeangAugust 2, 2013Eat at the barefoot bar! Sand on your feet, live music, delicious food! We had sashimi, pesto chicken sandwich, and fish & chips. LOVED it all.
Daniel TSeptember 23, 2013Try the fish tacos they're delicious. Add the Barefoot Brew, honey golden ale made specifically by Maui Brewing Co. and the palettes of a few Hula Grill employees.
Rhonda PotterMarch 22, 2014It was fun having my feet play in the sand under the table and hearing the live music and waves crashing. The food was good and the staff was nice.
- Gabi MetzJuly 8, 2015Great steak, ahi tuna and mahi mahi! The bread and sweet and sour sauce r to die for. Make sure u end the dinner with the hula pie!
Anne BenoitJuly 4, 2014Try the pono pie! Made with breadfruit, Light and fluffy, and not overly sweet - you won't want to share!
The food is yummy! The service is excellent. We like Duke's better because you can get a free Hula Pie with receipt.
Jake VMay 5, 2012Quit complaining about prices. You are in Hawaii. Splurge a little. The view at sunset is amazing. Like if you agree!
Brian BrightbillAugust 26, 2014Great beachy vibe and great seafood. Wood recommend to anyone spending time in Kaanapali
Rori DJuly 29, 2013Poki tacos +++, fish tandoori and macadamia crust.. All great. Foccaccio bread in tin box

Jeffrey FuentesAugust 20, 2013Great view of the beach and great touch by having you eat at tables in the sand to give more of the whole beachy theme going 👍
Matt OntellJuly 29, 2014Hula Beer is really good and refreshing. Live music is awesome and what can beat barefeet in the sand?!?
Masha IovevaAugust 29, 2012Great food, great cocktails, great service, adorable decor. Has someone playing live music at happy hour. Don't eat at the Barefoot Bar.
Ben Murphy-RyanAugust 4, 2017Massively busy restaurant. Even with a reservation it's not that special, and pricy. Food is ok although limited menu and if honest everything is a bit too weird a combination. People seem to love it
Tim O'NeilJune 15, 2012Try to sit outside so you can relax, listen to live music, and put your feet in the sand.
Darren Van SoyeNovember 2, 2013We had the pot stickers and the fish and chips. Both were delicious. The view can't be beat!
Nicole MaciasSeptember 11, 2010Try the crab wontons. Bring your reciept back to your next visit and get cake free. Make sure to stop in the barefoot bar and have a lava flow with your feet in the sand!
Frank AlvarezOctober 31, 2013Try the not-so-ordinary keychup with their fries... which are also tasty.
- typhoondebDecember 26, 2011Ahi poke tacos and grilled veggie stack with tofu were excellent! Scallop pupu was nothing special. Book rez on Open Table to avoid a wait.
Sheryl ClouseMay 23, 2011From 5-6 there's a 3 course tasting menu for 25. Amazing deals on the freshest foods. I was starving so ordered a dim sum as well. Wow
Crab and Macadamia Nut Wontons are tasty. Bartenders here are attentive and hilarious!
Viviana IchartNovember 17, 2013Dining with live music and great atmosphere. Good dishes, good service, great beer.
Michelle A.March 5, 2012Cute restaurant. Try the poisson cru if you want to try something different from the ahi poke. Save room for dessert.
Gunnar Pétur HarðarsonJuly 23, 2015Excellent food and really good waiters ;) ! Romantic place to eat and watch the sunset
