I had the ribs, hubby had the brisket. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious. I could pull the meat apart with a spoon, no knife needed. The brisket was just as tender, smoky with a beautiful bark. Both plates come with rice and sides, so it's a filling meal. The owners are super friendly, and you can tell they take real pride in their food. If you're on Maui and craving authentic Southern BBQ, make the drive. You won't regret it.

The two of us went during lunchtime on Sunday, which was probably a mistake. It was really crowded…read morewith a lot of large groups of families. We actually got seated fairly quickly, around 10 minutes. The hostess was clearly overwhelmed, she was throwing menus on tables and was quite rude. She was arguing loudly with servers about rearranging the tables, it wasn't pleasant. I ordered the short stack banana pancakes and breakfast loco moco, and they both were good. The wife ordered the day's special prime rib sandwich. Initially they brought out the wrong sandwich - a french dip. They noticed and corrected it, but the $20 prime rib sandwich looks really sad, with a few tiny bits of chopped up beef with a little unknown kind of cheese, the meat doesn't taste like prime rib, and the fries were stale; the french dip actually looked much better. My wife barely ate half the plate. Maybe that's why a lot of the chefs said, don't order the daily specials; they are getting rid of old ingredients, LOL. We are locals living in Honolulu; we have come to Tasty Crust many times in the past when we visit Maui. This is the first time we didn't have a good experience. Lessons learned - don't go on a Sunday and not during lunch hours, and no daily specials.

TIKI DAVE and family loves TIN ROOF MAUI!…read more While our cruise ship was in port, we stopped in after I did some serious research to settle upom Tin Roof and boy were we glad! Holy smokes, that Mochicko Chicken [Hawaiian-style fried chicken made by marinating bite-sized chicken pieces in a sweet and savory soy-garlic batter featuring mochiko (sweet rice flour) before deep-frying] is the bomb! Super crispy bits, amazing flavor, served over garlic noodles...man alive, if you are in Maui and don't grab takeout here, you may as well not go to Maui. It is takeout only and my wife didn't want fried food so she ordered something from the Mexican joint across the parking lot. Since she ordered food there, we figured it'd be ok to eat our heavenly chicken dishes there....NOPE; we were asked to leave. BOO. So we finished, well, the kids finished on the way to nearby Kanaha Beach Park and I finished mine there under the airport and within sight of our ship. It really is a lovely beach. TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS highly highly recommends TIN ROOF! I will be dropping a video of our experience shortly!

I was super excited to try here based on the raving reviews I've heard. But I was left feeling a…read morebit disappointed... Decided to order online since we heard the wait could get long. Our group ordered a little bit of everything - all with garlic noodles as the side since it seemed to very popular based on the reviews. We went with the mochiko chicken (animal style), spicy ahi poke, and pork belly. Mochicko chicken was good, but some pieces were cold and fatty which wasn't very pleasant. The animal style sauce was really tasty, and didn't overpower the chicken, it complimented the plate well! The noodles weren't very garlicky at all, definitely felt it was lacking flavor. Poke was good, but the pieces of fish were in pretty large chunks. Lastly, the pork belly was just okay. As a local, I think this place is a good introduction for tourists to get a taste of local flavors. But definitely hit up some other local spots even Zippy's for comparison. Maybe I just went on a off day. To end off on a positive note they do offer a few vegetarian and vegan options!

On my first trip to Maui, I was excited to try as many local food spots as possible, and Da Soriano…read moreGrindz ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. I was immediately intrigued by the calamansi pork -- an item I had never seen it on a menu before. One bite and I was hooked. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the bright, citrusy calamansi added a unique tang that made the dish completely unforgettable. It was so good that I'm still thinking about it after coming home. We also tried the pancit noodles, pork sisig, and mochiko chicken, and every dish was excellent. The pancit was packed with flavor, the sisig was gelatinous (fir those who are into it), and the mochiko chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. For my first visit to Maui and my first time trying Da Soriano Grindz, this food truck set the bar incredibly high. If you're visiting Maui and want amazing Filipino food that's a little different from what you'll find elsewhere, don't skip this spot. The calamansi pork alone is worth the trip.

I'm not a jerk, you said bring the pizza back and you hanged up, didn't wait to hear that I half ate one slice and my wife another and you don't know were we live or our circumstances. Being valentines day is not an excuse to respond so rude and pause to listen and by the way, since you were so busy to listen, the pizza was terrible soggy. I didn't call you a jerk, I was professional but seems you can't take feedback. Chef/Owner: Listen bro I tried to fix it. I told you I was busy. What do you want from me?

No waiting in line; call order in advance. No lines. The best grilled sirloin too! Smoked Meat, Huli Huli Chicken is juicy and not over seasoned, perfect balance of real char broiled and a tasty seasoning. Plates come with rice, Cole slaw salad and side orders are killah! Try it! You will be impressed with the family. Everyone pitches in; dad, mom and the kids to keep Tui and his family here. Working hard and building the dream one customer at a time! Go there! A hui hou! PS. This is an ALL FIVE STAR Business on Yelp. As a past restaurant Owner; Yelp will put really good reviews in a box if you do not pay for advertising. Read beyond the bottom page.

Convenient and reliable, love the order ahead on the app and pickup via locker inside…read more The app is also good to check what pastries and pies are available. Pies are also pretty reliable for taste. Their pastries are delicious and I do like their new Ube ensamada. The new Ube haupia pie is good too but the filling is very thin. I would be willing to pay more for an inch of haupia and an inch of Ube. My kids did really like it however and the filling was perfect for them. Always check the app for deals like the large spaghetti is good for kids. I always like their plate lunches like Korean chicken and fried chicken. Also like the orange bang drink, burrito, Portuguese bean soup. Service is good as the employees are helpful and friendly. I haven't eaten in for a while but there is a side you can eat your take out on the right of the cashiers. The left side is if you want a restaurant style dine in restaurant.

The takeout staff wasn't friendly and made us feel like we were bothering them just by ordering. We tried the Zip Pac Deluxe to sample a bit of everything. The steak was the clear standout, moist, not overcooked, and genuinely enjoyable. The chicken was just okay and a bit dry. The spam was exactly what you'd expect: spam. The small piece of fish was dry and only lukewarm. The sides included chili, potato salad, and a generous portion of rice. The chili and potato salad were solid, but the rice was cold. Overall, it filled our stomachs, but it's not a place we'd return to anytime soon.

Hands down the best food I had on the island…read more The owner greeted us, and was super kind! He helped us pick what to order -- which was phenomenal, and lets us make some substitutions since we didn't eat one part of the special offered. We got the fried cod special which came with slaw, potato/Mac salad, a drink and then we ordered a side of volcano fries. First, the cook on the cod was great. Super flaky and flavorful! The slaw and Mac salad were what I was expecting from Hawaii, truly delicious and we honestly could eat just bowls of those! The volcano fries were also good with the sauce they came with. The patio outside was great for family seating, and even better, they had an array of kids toys in side to keep my toddler busy. Wish we had more time to go back tbh. All other local food that we tried didn't compare.

Maui Fish'n Chips hit the spot and was definitely worth the visit…read more Maui Fish'n Chips is tucked in the corner of a small plaza in Kihei, as most places seem to be. This place has a decent amount of covered seating outside, but no seating inside. The menu is simple, and you order inside. We ordered the Cod Fish with rice, Coconut shrimp, deep fried zucchini, and a side of potato mac salad. The fish and chips were easily the best thing we ate. The fish had outstanding flavor and were battered and fried perfectly. If we only ordered the fish and chips, this place would get an easy 5 stars, no questions asked. Unfortunately, the rest of the food we ate was meh. The coconut shrimp were large and had good coconut flavor, but were overcooked and a little burnt, which altered the overall flavor. But I am guessing if it wasn't burnt, it would have great. I typically love deep fried zucchini, so I was excited to try it here. If didn't meet expectations though (sad face). The zucchini slices were cut very thin, and when deep-fried, I felt like I tasted more of the fried breading than I did the actual zucchini. My wife is a big macaroni and potato salad person, and she was not impressed. She said it had too much mayo and not enough substance.... I was pleased with the service and staff! Everyone that worked there was really nice and helpful. I also appreciate all the seating outside. I also thought it was cool they had a lot of board games for kids to use while we waited for our food. Very unique and solid addition! This place gets a solid 4 stars. If they made little tweaks to the rest of their side dishes, this place could easily be one of the better places to eat in Maui.

Five years ago I was so impressed that when I came back, I had it on my must eat list!…read more I had intended to eat here much earlier during the trip, but the Kona storm had different plans. So it was again the meal right before going to the airport to go home and the gate was closed, but I saw people eating inside so I did what I would not do In DC, which is get out of the car and just ask if it was open. I wouldn't do that In DC because it's just a little scary here. And a nice people called out to Ola the chef and he opened the gate for us!! This time it felt extra special. It was like eating with a dear old friend and come to find out Ola was living in Columbia Heights just before the pandemic. (We are frequenters of Columbia heights!) We really felt spoiled and cared for here. He whipped up an amazing bed of salad for both of us. The greens here in Maui are just so fresh and the flavors are so good and of course we topped it with mahi mahi either grilled or taco style. He also gave us coconut water and a smoothie and fresh papaya which I told him I only eat on the island, which is true because it doesn't taste as good anywhere else that I know. What a way to end a trip with a flood and power outage in the middle of it. When troubles come later at home, which they will, I will think back fondly and give things for the experience we had here. And there was so much food that I was blessed to take the food on the airplane which served as my main meal (bc I can't eat any of the things that is on the plane sadly with my limitations. Delta loves to serve things with lots of cheese or dairy.) When it's not too windy, sitting outside under the tent is a lovely way to enjoy. I hope I can be back in less than five years to enjoy Ola's food at Ula Ula again. I don't know why they don't have more reviews but after we came in, was glad to see more people come in through. I really think so highly a food trucks in general in Maui, but this is definitely a top winner and a true gem!!
