Not even halfway through, I found a long hair in my food and it completely ruined my appetite. It was around 8:50pm on 6/11 and they closed at 9:30pm. I didn't even bother going back because the young man at the register seemed overwhelmed with high orders and with the door dashers and other customers. I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately the bad reviews are right. The service is not great and the food was not it. Unfortunately will not be returning. I was better off ordering from wabagrill next door.

My friend had mentioned that this place was good so I was looking forward to trying it out. I ordered a BBQ Chicken Plate Served with Rice + Mac Salad $13.82 (including tax) and was disappointed. The chicken was dry, and needed a lot more sauce. The cabbage underneath is basically raw. The white rice was also dry. The only good thing about this meal was the macaroni salad. The food was unappetizing and I only ate a little bit and took home the rest. Parking: It can get difficult since it's a busy plaza. Not impressed, and unfortunately, not sure if I will be back.

I'm trying to control how much carbs I'm eating right now, and increase the protein in my diet. This place allows customization with the sides, so it works out perfectly for me. I usually get the plate sized food here for the bigger portion sizes because I'm a big back that burns a lot of calories lol. The Loco Moco & the sauce is delicious, the beef curry is tasty, and the Lau Lau ain't bad either. When I come it's usually the same two ladies working the cash register all the time and they provide friendly and fast service. My food always comes out in less than 10 minutes. There's a pretty chill vibe in the restaurant too so I can just quietly chill in there when I decide to. Overall, really solid place to get your Hawaiian food fix.

I've been coming to Back Home in Lahaina in the early 2000s since I started working in the South Bay. With our frequent visits, we were given loyalty stamp cards that earned 3 free rewards after reaching a designated tier: beverage, appetizer, & entrée (usually redeem the Lahaina Fried Chicken Entree) or t-shirt. In the early 2010s, we changed our dining time to their "Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays" after H turned toddler, & brought our friends with kids too. While the longstanding promo is no longer active, they occasionally run holiday or event-based kids eat free specials. Their Keiki (kid's meal) Menu includes: main entrée, side, drink, & dessert... it's a great value for the amount of food! I first learned about Back Home in Lahaina from my bank supervisor who lives in the South Bay. Her family loves the authentic Hawaiian comfort foods, particularly the addicting Lahaina Fried Chicken. It's famous for their slightly sweet, light & crunchy chicken. I love adding a splash of NOH Hawaiian Hot Sauce for a l'il heat! There's 2 specials (Beef Stew Curry, Fish & Chips) that I often order when I see it on the menu. And I always order the curry... love the Japanese-inspired curry roux base with mild heat! Usually posted in the late fall & winter, it's the perfect comfort food to counter the chill! When my husband is hungrier than norm, he'll either add an order of Hawaiian Nachos (they use wonton skins as chips instead of tortillas), or replace the entrée with the Back Home Sampler, which has a bit of everything. We've ordered maybe 1/2 of the menu over the years? Sticking to our favs, & adding other items when we're dining with guests. Their entrées are large enough to share between 2 people, & have been doing so in later years whereas I was hangry enough to eat the whole plate on my own. If you still have room for dessert, Haupia or Jello Cheesecakes are both delish to end your meal. I like the former; it's creamy yet light with a delicate, rich coconut filling. The kiddos love the latter for the strawberry jello that adds a sweet bouncy punch of flavor to the tangy cheesecake. The 1st decade's food & service was excellent, & we dined in so much that we knew most of the servers & can ask for "our usual" before we are seated. The timing is almost seamless from entry to our order to paying our check. Our servers were detailed-oriented to make sure everything is in place after serving our food (extra plates & napkins, necessary condiments), refilling our water with no/little prompts, & bringing our check quickly with necessary boxes when there's leftovers. However, the 2nd decade had its ups & down, especially during the pandemic lockdown (the once spacious dining room was awkward & warm with the plexiglass partitions). Gone are our fav servers, loyalty stamp card, & "Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays." What really kept us from returning often is the lack of consistency in food & service. If we're taking an early dinner around 5:30 PM, sometimes we have to wait awhile because there's no host(ess) at the counter. There may be times when we're seated & there's no server around, or I'm waving the menu to catch their eye. Then there's order execution issues: waiting period from our order to expedition time, not everything is served the relatively the same time, food quality (partly raw chicken, stale wonton chips, overcooked chicken tenders, etc.) & quantity (seems like there's a less?) issues. It's common enough to be a deterrent for frequent repeat visits. But when they're on point, it's the best bang for your buck value for a delish Hawaiian meal! Back Home in Lahaina serves some of the best Hawaiian foods around the South Bay. It's a vibrant community hangout, especially when they host live Hawaiian music (usually on Friday evenings) from regular local acts & guest feature artists! Mahalo! Recommended: Everything on the order list, especially the Lahaina Fried Chicken & Beef Stew Curry.

I tried the Zombie and the Mai Tai, and both were absolutely delicious. They were expertly made, packed with flavor, and definitely potent, so they deliver exactly what you'd expect from classic tiki cocktails! The service was outstanding from start to finish. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with their great recommendations and attention to detail. Between the amazing drinks, exceptional service, fun energy, and immersive décor, this tiki bar is the complete package. Whether you're out with friends or just looking for a unique night out, this spot is a total vibe. I'll definitely be back!

Was a pretty good choice for snacking on during the show. I only snacked on the fries while my friend snacked on the rest of it. Overall it's a really cute place, the restrooms are TIGHT. With some VERY interesting and eye catching info written in the stalls. Feels like high school. Tiny parking lot, otherwise street parking. It's mostly a bar.
