Marc SchneebergerSeptember 14, 2018Like all TS restaurants, location and decoration is great as well as their food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and hawaiian music the day we went! Enjoy it ;)
I DJuly 11, 2013Great ocean front place with good cocktails, casual food, live music in the afternoon, outdoor dining and great people watching as the boardwalk winds around the patio. Swim in ocean, come in wet.
Kaitlyn MatyuchJune 23, 2016Best food ever!!!! I have to come at least once well I am here, although I normally go multiple times. My favorite is the main dining room up top, but the bar area had good food too.
Carver MatheidasOctober 11, 2012The mango-pineapple fish preparation is a lot more tangy than expected. Spicy ahi tower was very tasty. Try the piña colada w/o ice cream, sub Malibu rum for dairy-free. Looks and tastes great!
Fazeela MohammedMarch 5, 2017Great dining experience. The view was amazing!!! Loved the Sriracha wings and chopped kale salad. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I had the burger with bacon.
Mitchell McKennaJune 27, 2018Fish Tacos; big piece of fresh fish, grilled, not fried. Best in Maui. 🐟🌮
Megan BowesAugust 19, 2017Fresh seafood, personable staff, and ocean views. Local tuna was delicious. If you have room for dessert, the Hula Pie is a must-have. Enjoy!
TeresaNovember 26, 2012Happy Hour drinks do not disappoint! Great tacos and The nachos with pork were surprisingly different and good. The heat on them was great. I would eat here again to try more of the menu! YUM!
Aaron DodgeJune 4, 2017Great cocktails. Great fish tacos, nachos, pork spring rolls. Great service and scenery. Just great!
Sara LovellJuly 15, 2016Initially the portions seemed small but by the end of the meal, we were full. The parmasean crusted fish was great and the mashed potatoes are awesome and creamy.
Lauren FaheyJune 7, 2016The tomato mozz appetizer was one of the best I've ever had and I've had a lot of tomato mozz appetizers...
Chad PetrieApril 4, 2019Best meal we had on the island, and we went to Mama's as well. Great fish and seafood. Views for dinner are amazing.- Taylor KendraMay 12, 2016Ahi Tuna is TO DIE for... Everyone at our table was fighting over it. Best I've ever had. Will come back before vacation is over.
Grant MatthewsJanuary 24, 2016Order the catch of the day, it comes straight off the boat....beautiful food. Also order Surfing Goat cheese - it's produced locally.
Allison RichardFebruary 25, 2013Did not get waited on at first during happy hour cuz of a mix up. Waiter was apologetic and friendly, offered us free dessert. Great food and nice cold beer!
Kristine DerbyFebruary 3, 2014Whale watching is great upstairs. Happy hour is too fun downstairs. Hula pie is a must try and all of their food is fantastic.
Karen OdonnellMarch 29, 2016Great fish tacos just the right spicy. Nice view of the water. Friendly staff!
Gunnar Pétur HarðarsonJuly 23, 2015Amazing fish tacos!!!!! Very nice waiters og great food ;) I dare you to try the Black Rock beer 💪
Masha IovevaAugust 29, 2012Good food, good cocktails. Somehow got the reputation for being THE place for sunset dining (the view in the restaurant is nice tho) but Hula Grill is just better. Don't eat at the Beachside Grill.
deekayJune 18, 2015The fish taco an were good but beware - they are not your average fish tacos. They each come with one large piece of grilled fish in the soft shell, with toppings.
JPDecember 25, 2012The bar service is excellent! Try the Dead Guy Ale...and get the fish tacos too! YOLO! #BestplaceonMaui
DaveSeptember 27, 2014Fish tacos are awesome! Very tender and moist mahi mahi. Cuban Kailua Pork was very good too.
Olli KaijalainenJanuary 22, 2015Salad with walnuts, onion and feta was unbelievable! Highly recommended. Great service too :)
Katie GallagherMay 1, 2012Relaxed during the day, happy hour from 3-5 options change daily- $4 tacos are HUGE and delicious! At night inside the Surf n Turf Filet & Lobster was unreal good!
Barbara ArredondoApril 14, 2016The fish is delicious and the dessert of macadamia ice cream with chocolate is sooo good!
Tolga ErdenNovember 16, 2017I didnt like the Cheeseburger and the fries! Nothing speacial! Also they forgot to put cheese on the meat but afterwards they changed the burger. The service was good though 🤙
Erin VaughnAugust 4, 2013Fish tacos are all they were touted to be. Perfection. And the tarter sauce for the fish and chips is delish.- Scott MuchowAugust 19, 2013Had lunch and is was great. We had the grilled cheese and the big kahuna burger. Both were excellent.
sarahAugust 14, 2013Ask for a table overlooking the water and when the sun is about to set the blinds are drawn. Best photo op!
Pablo KenneySeptember 23, 2018Fish tacos live up to the hype - order the extra guacamole, high quality.
Christian AndersonApril 28, 2013Classic beef sliders are amazing, as are the veggie sliders. Even if you're not a vegetarian. .
Brad TFebruary 5, 2017The nice, attentive service and dinner on the beach can't make up for the mediocre, tourist fair, unfort. Was so looking forward to the fish tacos but the tortillas were cold and flavors just OK.
Maryanne BeckMarch 8, 2012Fish tacos are amazing! Large fresh fish filets. Great spot for people watching. And yummy tropical drinks.
Craig OlsonJuly 29, 2014If you've had good food truck fish tacos then you most likely will be disappointed. Nice people watching though.
- HaifaOctober 5, 2018Chicken wings were outstanding. Fish tacos a bit too dry for my taste. My husband ordered fish and fries, fries was good but not the fish.
Erik BracamontesAugust 13, 2012Fish tacos, nachos, and hula pie were incredible. Best food I've had in Maui!!!

"Great place to get a bite to eat in Lahaina with a spectacular view. Try to get a table outside as sitting upstairs can feel somewhat cramped and crowded. Hula pie was great!"
