Good greasy spoon type breakfast cafe, with a distinct Hawaiian touch. Most of the patrons are locals. The menu has the breakfast basics, but probably half the choices are either Hawaiian dishes or have Hawaiian accents added. Open from early am to mid-afternoon, keeping with the breakfast concept. read more

Came here once and kept coming back! Corned beef hash patties were yummy and the eggs were cooked perfect. I liked the Saimin broth too. If iam in Maui I will definitely be coming back here read more

I love this place. Simple and easy - breakfast or lunch they always have something that will take care of your craving. I love their: shoyu chicken (usually on special, but you have to check the board); blueberry pancake - better than any other joint; dry mein - a little different from Sam Sato's (I like Jack's one better); fried rice special (for the price, it's a steal!); breaded teriyaki - pretty darn good; and loco moco - pretty good too. Honestly, the service is hit or miss, sometimes you'll catch them on a good day, sometimes you'll catch them on an off day. Either way, it would behoove you to flag someone down if you've been waiting a while, since it's hard to tell who is supposed to be helping you. Never hurts to ask, right? Just try not to take it personally...it helps. Don't forget about my tip - sit down where it's open; menus should be on the table; when you're done, go up to the cash register to pay, they don't bring the bill to you. And, above all else, make sure you BRING CASH. read more

The pancakes are perfection, I always get them. This time I got the sausage and bacon pancakes. My friend got the corn beef hash and it smelled so good that I took a couple bites . read more

After all the talk, I had to try it. Born n raised on Maui n yes everything they serve is the stuff I grew up on n the kind of food Mom cooks. So I told the whole family we had to try it and six of us stopped in on Saturday for lunch. It's a dive. Yes an absolute dive. I don't know if the health district inspects on Maui but there r little sand cockroaches all over - we saw one on the counter, one on the floor n a healthy 1/2" one crawled across our table. I was done. Yuck. The bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a month? A very long month too. We had the dry mein, super dry mein, saimin, breaded teri plate, roast pork n cheeseburger. The roast pork was barely average, the breaded teriyaki was so fatty I had problems cutting it with the knife!! Hubby said I forgot to say I wanted it lean - but who does that!? My daughter liked the cheeseburger n Mac salad well enough. The saimin "no more taste", according to my Dad who has had many a local saimin. Now for the dry mein . . . We r dry mein snobs as mom makes awesome dry mein. Three of us had it n thought it was good - chewy n greasy (from the pork), but still pretty good tasting overall. If it weren't for the filth n roaches I might try that again . . . actually, no I wouldn't, it would take a lot for me to go back there. I wanted to like it. I did. Sorry but we won't be back. There are many cleaner local places with great food. FYI -- it's CASH ONLY, no credit cards. And good luck with service. :) read more

Cool little spot. Tucked away in an industrial neighborhood. Looks closed like other helpers said but it's open. Seat yourself menus are at the table. Staff was nice. Food is your basic local food with Filipino options too like pork adobo. Their kalibi ribs were good. read more

Used to be one of our favorite local places on Maui! What happened? Looks like new owners? Greasy food, chop steak mostly unions. When we took it back they came back with a new one more steak this time which looked oily no taste and rubbery. Place looks more run down than ever! We use to be advocates of this place. My stomach is sour as we speak I'm sitting in the bathroom stall as my body is rejecting the poison I just ate. Paid $30 for 2 of us. Save your money and go someplace good. Don't say I didn't warn you. read more

Cheap eats great food and service , laid back atmosphere where the locals go this place only takes cash but there is a arm at the corner Momo market read more

The Kim Chee Hamburger steak was so ono!!!....next time, I'm gonna add two eggs over easy on top! Good sized portion for the price and very local friendly. read more

Always so good! Always good service and friendly. Food is always always on point!! We love the homely feeling of coming here:) prices are thee best! Staff is thee best! A must come to eat! They open only breakfast n lunch but the best!!!! read more

They need to work on their customer service and leave their frustrations behind. Awesome food though

I don' really like pancakes much, unless there's coconut or some other kind of syrup (not fake maple syrup) so I ordered loco moco & friends got pancakes. Meat was dry, egg was over cooked, and gravy was flavorless. I ate it all because I was hungry but wouldn't go back - unless I wanted pancakes. Those looked good and lots of flavors to choose from. read more

Umm...yum! If you want a fresh, local meal this is the spot! We went recommended to go for breakfast by my cousin who is a local. We were not disappointed! For a true local meal, go for the Loko Moko. The pancakes are as big as a plate and equally as good. read more

Food: you get what you pay for. Cheap and plenty. The bathroom is so nasty though. So hauna like cockroach and filthy like the floors and walls haven't been cleaned in years. But they get the green pass on the window. How can? Gross. Tried to get hubby to check it out but he refused lol...i just ate he says. Wonder what their bathroom at hone looks like. read more

Solid place to grab lunch after a long plane ride. Nothing fancy just good food at a good price. Menu includes basic breakfast foods with some local favorites. Heads up, cash only . read more

Delicious soul food, cash only, friendly & attentive staff, convenient to Kahului, needs total aesthetic makeover but worth the visit.

A bit rundown looking, but service is great. Food is good quality, but average tasting. Not good... not bad.

Love the local feel and the staff here at Jack's Inn. They are kind and warm and the food is fantastic. The home style cooking is just comforting - best homemade corn beef and hash - now my bar has been set high! Local Moco is also wonderful - meat patty is like meat loaf, which I love! Your missing out if you don't come here! read more

Always come here for breakfast when in town. The gravy on the moco could be a lot better. read more

Great breakfast! Ham and cheese omelette and pancakes were delicious. Good size portions. Very family friendly. Definitely a local spot.

The best dry min / fry noodle. Way better tasting than Sam Satos. Jacks Inn is all the flavor of Ma Chans! Old school Maui comfort food. I highly recommend. read more

Went to Jacks Inn yesterday and was excellent. I had the breaded teriyaki with Mac salad and enjoyed every bit!! Was impressed with how breading stuck onto beef and didn't flake off as you ate. Also it wasn't greasy and fatty, meat was lean and tender. I also had the super saimin. Talk about loading it up!! Homemade dashi with tender noodles, shrimp tempura, roast pork, eggs, won tons, broccoli, cauliflower, kamaboko, spam, and green onions to top it off!!! Mmmmmm... I was happy happy!!! read more

Found this place from a friend that lives here. So glad she brought is here! Food is great and very reasonable prices.

Great local food, great service, like eating with family each time. Low prices but servings are big. Not the best looking place but the workers are clean and friendly.beat roast pork with gravy! read more

It's a "joint" kinda place. Takes me back to childhood. Great food and service was awesome. If you are expecting clean and fancy then stay away. If you like good food in a super casual atmosphere without any frills then this is the place. Locals love it for a reason. read more

Nice find! Great prices , hot local food ! Very friendly staff. Wish it was near our resort.

Breakfast food at its best. Don't sleep on the banana pancakes or you'll miss the best I've tasted yet. Remember it's cash only and primarily locals. If your looking for something outside of the hotel or resort area it's worth it. Perfect place to stop on way to airport. read more

I love it when we travel and stumble upon a great locals spot. We were the only non locals in the place! Food was great, service was exceptional. Ambiance is true hole in the wall diner. Would have given it a five, but the germaphobe in me needs a little more sparkle & shine. read more

Started and ended the trip with a Moco Loco at Jack's -good Local food at a good price . Yummy

If you're over by the airport and hungry this is the place to stop. Not much on ambience, but servers are friendly, breakfast served late, the food is good. My scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly and you can't beat the prices! A word of warning they only take cash! read more

This little gem is hidden in an industrial park but don't let that fool you. The food is simple and so ono. I will definitely be coming back

Jack's Inn, a childhood favorite of mine. It's the kind of place that you go to if you want to feel at home. This restaurant is small and quaint, frequented by the senior citizens and young folks alike. On your way to work, stop by and enjoy some of the best home cooked breakfast on Maui. My personal favorite is the "Pancake Sandwich" and yes it tastes just as good as it sounds! read more

We ordered loco moco, corned beef hash, and miso soup. All items were hot and tasty and filling. I took off one star because rice was used a bit over the top to give the illusion that there was more food in the boxes. read more

This little nook that's stashed away in Kahului, Maui looked far from busy when we were standing outside in the parking lot. But once the door opened we found ourselves at the entrance of a busy local restaurant. Every table was filled with families, passerbyers, & the regulars. We got lucky, one last table for us family of 5. The food was a simple breakfast menu, local lunch menu & their daily specials. We ordered a variety that included Fried rice with Rodondo hot dog, Corned beef & onion with over easy eggs, BLT sandwich, Miso soup, & The Bacon Cheeseburger with French fries. They all were pretty good. The hamburger was homemade & it was very tasty. Overall my family & I enjoyed this little nook stashed away in Kahului, Maui & we will return on our next visit from Oahu. read more

Bring your property in with you. We had everything stolen out of our car while being served. They have no cameras. Poor service, they never served our coffee, kinda felt like they were tying us up while our car was being ripped off. Cash only, shady area with homeless camps close by. Hindsight 20/20, pay the extra for a restaurant in better area. read more

Hidden gem. I've been coming to Jack's Inn since I was a kid and it's unchanged. I love it. Saimin in the mornings and Beef stew for lunch are my favorites. Prices are more than reasonable. One of the best mom and pop diners on Maui. I hope this place never changes. read more

Nice hole-in-the-wall place. Friendly with good food. Come with cash, no credit cards.

I'm so amazed every time we dine here just how quick the service is & how consistent the food is! The local favorites (dry mein, beef stew) & specials are great, but I do get stuck in my rut of grilled cheeses once in a while! It's an older but charming little restaurant & the family owners are always so nice. read more
