Fantastic! I got the Don Ho burger. Comes with pineapple, bacon, and melted jack cheese. I loved the sweet Hawaiian sauce, too. The burger itself was cooked to perfection. The other thing I really appreciated was the bun. Soft and fluffy - Twas beautiful. The root beer float was great - there are coupons everywhere that get you these for free with your purchase! There's a little info center just below the restaurant (before you walk up) that was giving them out. Snag one for sure. My one complaint - there was a hair in my friend's burger . It was the last bite. So I don't know if that was good or bad. Regardless, I'll likely be returning . read more

Cool Cat Cafe - Cool games to play - Burgers Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Really big place, feels like a 1950's diner and a lot of bold red decor. Its diner food with the big milkshakes. Bring your appetite. Everything was excellent and there was something to satisfy any dietary preference. Our server was very friendly and helped us decide between the menu items since we couldn't make up our minds. If we ever return to Maui we will be back read more

First time I have ever posted a review on YELP The Lahaina fire was a tragedy on so many levels, and like everyone, I was saddened to hear that all of historic Front Street along with Cool Cats Cafe was lost in the fire. Last night our family had a chance to dine at their new Kihei location and it was awesome! Great atmosphere, decor, and the burgers were good or better than we remembered. And a special shout out to Ricardo, our server, who was awesome too! Their 1st anniversary celebration at there new location is this Sunday, 6/29, so turn out and show your support. #MauiStrong. read more

The food was great, especially the burger selection. The decor is fun and themed and a great place to watch a sports game.

Been there several times. We're local and plow as much of our money t=into the home businesses as possible. . It seems that live music has been added. Sorry but its too much. The musician the other night was simply awful. It was like listening to a drunk at a karaoke bar. THe facility is not really acoustically friendly. Large cavernous area that is a better echo chamber than a music venue. You couldnt talk. A I saw a few people getting a bit annoyed. The food, as usual was top shelf. Always great. Never been a problem. Same with the service. Good staff. Mahalo... read more

Food, service and ambience!!! So much fun! Delicious food! Good for vegetarian and meat eaters alike. Lo's performance is a cherry on top! She has a voice that's soothing and one of a kind. I would go back again and again. The food, service and ambience was top tier! read more

My family and I were here at the end of July 2023 before the devastating Lahaina Fire. We were just there enjoying the yummiest cheeseburger with the family. It was so good that we wanted to come back again. Onion rings were bomb ! I give it 5 stars! We chose this place over cheeseburgers in paradise. I am so so sad this burned down along with the rest of Front street and Lahaina! My heart hurts all for all effected and the whole island of Maui. 1000 people missing and 100 fatalities so far So raw and unreal as I feel like we were just there last week.. We took photos with the beautiful macaws down the street and the bird owner gave us a coupon to use at this restaurant. We also walked down to the library and the elementary school and took pictures by the Banyan tree and videos. I will never forget this beautiful town walking down Front street enjoying my fav Hawaiian shaved ice @ ulani's. So many beautiful memories here. My heart and prayers go out to the whole island of Maui... so many lives taken, business's,pets, families, town, etc. I really hope in my heart this was a natural disaster . Makes me sick to my stomach..You see all the cars lined up and people jumping right there in the ocean! It's like a war zone... the videos are very hard to watch.. I can't process... Thank you for the wonderful memories and god bless you all. Maui no ko oi always #mauistrong read more

A trip back to the fifties and sixties. Large menu. Lotsa seating. Very attentive staff. Kudos to Chris

A fun atmosphere but they apparently can't cook burgers any way other than very well done, hard and dry! In a large group several asked for medium rare but they all came hard and dry. When they made new ones they were the same. Very disappointing! We used to get medium rare juicy burgers at their Lahaina location but sadly no more. read more

Wow what a great experience!! Gorgeous new renovation with a cool 50s diner vibe. Super clean, well organized and friendly atmosphere. Prices were really reasonable with an extensive menu of all your favorite traditional American foods. I had to go for the burger because I heard so many good things about it and it's almost impossible to find a hand formed burger anymore! Everybody's gone for those hockey puck of meat style burgers that I hate. They had so many great specialty options, such as gluten-free buns, gluten-free french fries and when I asked for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, they obliged with a smile! I was able to sub a side salad for fries, and the Server suggested their homemade creamy Italian dressing, which was delicious. I was able to get my burger, medium rare the way I like it, (many restaurants refuse to do anything less than a medium anymore so this was yet another pleasant surprise!) I also went for a milkshake as my friend had said it was the best she ever had! I have to agree!! It was absolutely fantastic made with premium ice cream and you can tell! I opted for the vanilla with fruit, and the fruit was real fruit not just syrup . What a great time! Also, if you carry a Hawaiian drivers license, ask them about their local discount, it's generous! Reasonable prices, friendly service, fast fresh food... Just what Kihei needed. ! We're so glad you're here! read more

Great 50's styled dinner with wonderful options for everyone. I am gluten free so I was thrilled with a wonderful selections of hamburgers on a GF bun with a basket of fries from a dedicated GF fryer. read more

We are deeply saddened by the tragic fires that destroyed this restaurant and everything around it. My daughter LOVED this place. She continues to rave about how the food was delicious and the server (forgot her name but she loved Stitch) was so friendly and took great care of us- even making some yummy recommendations. The food here was amazing. Sitting outside was great for people watching. They had many GF options which lead us here in the first place. Cheers to a great place!! read more

Great burgers, and the drinks weren't half bad. Will definitely go back again. Also good place to take the kids.

What to order -Duke - The Luna Absolutely the best burger I've had! They are very big burgers! The server was very accommodating and very kind! The view is also incredible you can see the shops, the park across the street, nice breeze and the drinks were also delicious! We ordered a Mai Tai & Blue Hawaii! Strong and fruity! read more

Cool Cat Cafe - Burgers Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

So great being able to eat at cool cats again. Great food, great service and same great vibe!

Two very small fish tacos not very tasty $40 not very impressed. Place was super busy though not sure why.

Food wasn't the best my burger was average at best it had lettuce that should have been discarded or fed to the chickens or roosters. Sweet potato fries were good and our server was ok but I couldn't honestly recommend this place read more

We visited Cool Cat Cafe Kihei, missing the Lahaina location very much. I specifically wanted to go because I heard they served my beloved Lahaiana Captain Jacks fish and chips. My family ordered burgers and they were delicious as expected on those. I got my Captain Jacks Fish and Chips and was not happy with it. Its not comparable to or memorable of what Captain Jacks served, and its not something I would order from here again. It made me wonder why they say they represent serving it if its not the same. But, now I know. I would just order what Cool Cats is known for- their burgers. The ambiance is bustling and cheery, as expected. Lots of families with kids. Service was a little tight but, again, they were pretty busy. Its a place I would recommend. read more

Kyra was our waitress and she was really great! The food here is delicious! If your looking for a good burger after snorkeling or whale watching this is the place to stop! They have a happy hour also which is a bonus. They also have a create your own milkshake where you can make it an "Adult" milkshake by adding your choice of alcohol! Can you say Winning!? Overall the place just has a great atmosphere. While my husband and I were dining they had live music downstairs which was a real treat! If your in Maui I would say this place is worth a try! Mahalo! read more

The service, the food, and I am beyond is fantastic! Had a great time coming here for lunch. Great 80s music! The burger was great and the food was good. Not giving it five stars because it wasn't exceptional beyond belief, but excellent in quality. read more

Top notch service from Lanze C. Arrived around opening time with my parent who has a long list of food allergies. Lanze listened, and then came back with the book of ingredients(!) to make sure there were no complications! Absolutely best and kindest service either of us have ever received. Well done! read more

Server was great, food was better than I expected (got salads, burger, shakes), pricing good for quality of food, overall great experience and highly recommend for families! (especially if you want a break from the more expensive and crowded popular restaurants on Maui like we did). Plenty of seating! Enjoyed the "50s" decor too! read more

Wow, that Jail House burger is huge! I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish it. It was absolutely delicious, too! Even more impressive, my daughter got the ribeye steak and it tasted like it came from a steakhouse. My wife and other daughter Porky Pig and the teriyaki steak and they both really enjoyed them, too. My family really was into the fries, but they were too seasoned for my taste. Overall, an amazing meal with a fun 1950's vibe to the atmosphere. Our server was attentive, too. Nice stop. * Tip: although Yelp has it listed as a great place to go for birthdays, they have no birthday ceremony or dessert included. We were too full anyway, but that was the only disappointing part since it was why we chose this place. read more

Excellent food, all twelve of us loved the food each ordered. Service was attentive and atmosphere, lo wolf is a great entertainment! We LOVED our experience. Will go there again. read more

Voted the best burgers around Maui and they sure are on that top list for me! Great spot to enjoy a good diner style mood with the Maui vibes. This cafe is located in Front Street on the second floor of the outdoor mall area. I loved the indoor outdoor feel and the comfort of the cafe. The burger was so tasty and Maui beef just does it for me every time. The salad was super delicious as well for a lighter bite with a ton of flavor. Surprised at how good the hard seltzers were and glad I tried one! Visit this great spot for a chill vibe and good eats! read more

A new lunch stop. Yum Original location lost in the Lahaina Fire Admittedly I never dined at the Front Street location (Kimo's was my go to). Cool Cat recently relocated to Kihei. Wowza. I've been missing out. So good. Diner atmosphere with large flat screens w sports. Extensive menu and known for their shakes so I had to try one (Grasshopper). The pulled pork was fantastic. Extremely generous portions. Come hungry! To-go box for later Servers super friendly. read more

The fries were inedible. It was my first time there and I was expecting better. Can they inform me with an email when they have improved their french fries. I am sorry, but I am a fry connoisseur. read more

Stopped by here for a bite to eat since I was in town doing the tourist bit. It is open all the way around so you have fresh air and can see down to the street or to the shops on the other side of the cafe. This may cause it to be a bit hot depending on the weather and the time of day, but there was plenty of fans to cool you down a bit if you sit in their path. There are also plenty of televisions to watch the game on while you have a bite to eat. There are lots of options for burgers and the food is pretty good. The service was good with the staff being nice and attentive. read more
