Restaurants

This list is not meant to be inclusive of the only good restaurants on the island. However, it is some of our favorites of what we have tried.

Maui Brewing Company

- Our first meal as an engaged couple! Come early on the weekends; waits can be a little crazy. However, beer and pizzas and hummus make it all worth it.


Fat Daddy's Smokehouse

- Satisfy barbecue tastes on the island.


Merriman's Kapalua

- Never actually been, but a highly considered location on the island. Upscale, oceanfront dining.
