    A nice place to eat after snorkeling They have a great outside eating area right on the beach! Tables in the sand with great drinks. The food is good but pair with the scenery it is just very hard to beat. The crab wontons were crispy and delicious, the taro chips were the bomb.com, and as I said the drinks are righteous. You won't go wrong stopping here to enjoy the ocean, a bit of food, and a cocktail. But when you stop... get the taro chips!

    firecracker fish, very tasty!

    It's called the barefoot bar because there's actually sand under your feet. I didn't care too much about the sand, but my wife actually loved it, kept digging her feet into the sand while eating. I love that the Barefoot Bar is a reasonably priced option amidst a strip of very high priced options. And I believe it's the same kitchen as the Hula Grill (but without the price tag). We had no trouble getting in with a little bit late reservation. My wife got the thai chicken flatbread. The waiter said it was super unique, it wasn't; but it was actually quite good. It wasn't huge but was still filling and it had a really good spicy kick to it. I had the firecracker fish which was a fillet of a fresh fresh that was pretty well spiced. It also had a good kick but wasn't overpowering by any means. It also came with some rice and salsa. Didn't need to eat too much of the rice. Would come back. My wife also had a really tasty coconut cocktail that even I enjoyed!

    We had the poke bowl, fish tacos and burger.  Yum

    Amazing food, views and experience. Put your feet in the sand and enjoy delicious drinks/food with live music and a view of the sunset.

    Came here 8 years ago and had their mai tai which was great! I remember it being perfectly stiff and refreshing. Finally back in Maui and came by with the fam bam and the mai tai was still delish and served in a large mongo cup. Was here for hh and although the prices arent that "happy", it was still good considering you have a great view of the beach, hula huts, and sand at your feet. I like the vibe better than Leilani across from it. I liked the music better too. I was there on a Thurs night and it was 1 musician on his ukulele. Very chill and relaxing. Our server was great too. Hh prices were about $8-$10 for apps and $8 for cocktails, $5 draft beers. I remember liking the flatbread, the kalbi tacos, and the burger. Our bill for 5 ppl was $180 and we did over eat and drink as usual. Took home most of the fish and chips. I didnt get to try any of this unfortunately. They validate for 4 hours inside the whalers village.

    Below average drinks. Long wait if you don't have a reservation. Service at the bar was quick. Very touristy! I won't be going back.

    I asked for a recommendation of what to have and was giving several great options! One of which was lemon-lime and strawberry shave ice with fresh lime juice and coconut cream on top. After hearing coconut cream on my shave ice, I was sold! Great customer service and some seating inside and outside to enjoy your sweet treats!

    Dave is freaking awesome. Made our experience very Aloha like

    Nice happy hour. Note that appetizers are small for the price. The fish of the day was mahi mahi and was terrific and so was the hula pie.

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes, and they seem encouraged. Feet in the sand? Why not?

No wait when we showed up at 4:55. We wanted a table outside on the patio ideally with shade. The hostess seemed resistant to putting us on the patio and tried talking us inside on the mostly enclosed patio. It was hot as blazes, and we asked to go back outside and the hostess was so resistant, my sweetie was ready to leave. But we eventually managed to sit on the regular patio. Even though there was no shade and it was warm, there was a wonderful breeze and view. More importantly, Kyle was a KICK ASS server, and the kitchen brought our food out fast. So we ended up having a nice meal. Lilikoi honey cocktail: ok. Tasted a little like canned fruit but more elevated. I liked it but wouldn't get it again. But it came out fast which I appreciated! Cornbread: amazing! It's two little pieces for nine dollars. But we loved it so much we got the second order so we wouldn't fight over who was eating what lol. Sweetie got jerk chicken. It was a little spicier than he expected but he liked it. It came with the most adorable and delicious banana fritters which I stole. Kind of like a healthy dessert in filo dough. They have lots of vegetarian options. The gnocchi was not cheap, at I think $32. But it was delicious. It had lots of kale and mushrooms so it was not too uniformly carby. Overall, the food and drink was 4/5. Kyle is a superstar and the kitchen is getting food out fast.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL outside with plentiful seating and a perfect view of the sunset on the beach. I ordered the fish and chips, my husband ordered the hot booty ruben, our friends ordered the ribs and chicken wings. For an appetizer, we got the nachos and man, did it hit the spot! You know how sometimes when you order nachos and they come out soggy? This didn't, it was nice and crunchy and after a beach day, it was just right with the beans, pico, jalapenos, and sour cream. The fish and chips were delicious- the fish was nicely battered with a THICK chunk of fish, not skimpy at all and the ribs were nice and juicy and fell off the bones!! Our favorite was the hot booty ruben sandwich- full of flavor, juicy meat along with the tartness of the sauerkraut! Our least favorite were the chicken wings, it wasn't as juicy as we hoped it was going to be but it was a chunky and at least got us the protein we needed. All in all, we are going to come back again. We all agreed that this was a winner. PS, try their house made Maui mules!! All of us tried it and it was so refreshing, especially with the candied ginger on top! Not only did we come here once, we came back again another night to try other foods!
