Maalaea General Store & Restaurant

Cannot rave enough about this place! We feel like we stumbled on a hidden gem. 10/10 recommend! After a voyage excursion, my husband and I stopped in for lunch with our three children (ages 4,2, and 6 months). Best decision ever! We got just ONE breakfast plate, along with an order of kalua nachos. Glad I had listened to the google reviews because it was SO much food! Enough for everyone to eat until they were full + take some home. Food was amazing. Portions were HUGE so come hungry! Customer service was incredibly kind and welcoming, especially with our children. Helped us get extra plates, made sure everyone had waters, etc. Literally 0 complaints. Will be recommending this spot to everyone we know! Worth the trip & the money!

We came here two times because the food is great and people are friendly. Best pancakes we ever had!!

I was here years ago when they still sold their heavenly mushroom burger... ATMOSPHERE: It's still the original building though I have never been in before today. Open-air with no a/c. There are seats & tables and counter seating on the spacious and covered front entry lanai with views of the harbor, main drive and coast guard building. There is a small enclosed room off to the side with more tables and chairs if you want more of an indoor effect, still open-air and with a tiny window. There is a tiny seating area inside by the front bay window that can seat 3 at best. They're still mainly a general store, so you can grab things like beer, liquor, wine, groceries, canned goods, OTC meds, etc. The takeout counter was the main purpose of my visit. They offer a pretty extensive coffee menu, also breakfast items, fresh ahi pokē, lunch sandwiches, salads, hot dogs, quesadillas, burgers and tacos. FOOD: Mushroom Burger Wow. THE BEST mushroom burger I've eaten so far, but unfortunately no longer sold. The burger was thick, hot, very tasty and juicy and had that hard to find broiled flavor. It's topped with Swiss, tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, lots of sliced pickles and mushrooms. I loved the bun! It was hinged on one side which helped the burger stay in perfect shape while eating it. Fries are optional shoestring and were delicious and full of flavor. SERVICE: Everyone was friendly. You order your food at the counter and pay at the main register. OVERALL: The word of mouth and reviews are all true! I can't wait to try their other selections.

What a gem! The pancakes here should be world famous, so this is my attempt at beginning that path to stardom. Found this place online, it wasn't a chain and they had breakfast was our only search criteria. Then they brought the pancakes out and they are HUGE! Couples can easily share them, but won't want to, they're very tasty as well. Our server was wonderful, offering us extra syrup and utensils for our to-go box. Great find!

A lovely and welcoming store that accommodates one of the best if not the best breakfast restaurant on the island. We enjoyed a wonderful everthing bagel breakfast with fresh coffee. We didn't try any lunch options as we were on our way to the airport. They offer vegan options too. We sat inside but there is outdoor seating on the covered patio available too. Nice harbor view is an add-on.
