It was empty when we got there, with many tables to choose from, so we sat in one of the small booths near the back door. Service was pretty quick and he was very friendly and professional. Okay, the food that sounded so yummy on the menu ended up being disappointing. We ordered the reuben panini and the mahi with tropical salsa. The sandwich came without the promised sauerkraut, though the French fries were good. And, while the mahi mahi was good and the accompanying mac salad extremely tasty, the tropical salsa left much to be desired. It was bitter and was overwhelmed by the taste of the cilantro and onions and was in desperate need of an additional fresh fruit to join the Papaya. Overall, I recommend the service, but not the food.

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.

Since it was Sunday, I decided today was the day. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur because of a health condition I have and caffeine can affect me but I do love coffee (even if it doesn't love me) but I'll usually go with a Tea option or Smoothie. I decided on a simple smoothie so I got the Keiki Smoothie with Banana, Strawberry and Apple Juice. I asked the waitress what sandwich is the most popular and she said the Turkey Pesto Melt and boy did that hit! It really was the BEST sandwich. It was on a crispy, flaky...and might I add...buttery croissant with thick slices of turkey, tomato, creamy pesto aioli and melted provolone! It came with some chips and dill pickle on the side. The only downside was the price-it was about $17 so I'm sure I'll treat myself once in a good while to this. My small smoothie was $8 but refreshing nonetheless. I love the vibes inside with hanging plants and art work throughout. There was someone doing remote work or school in the corner with her sleepy golden retriever next to her, a few locals outside and some visitors inside. The workers are friendly and I saw one clean the outside tables right away after a few parties left. A nice spot to hit up for some nice breakfast, lunch and a coffee with a friend.

The cocktails were equally impressive and some of the best we've had on the island. Be sure to save room for dessert because the malasadas were incredible, especially with the three different dipping sauces. What really sets this place apart for families is everything beyond the food. There were ducks, geese, koi, and other animals roaming the plantation grounds, which kept the kids entertained before and after dinner.

They have maybe six tables of various sizes and a bar along the windows. It's literally a mom-and-pop place, just an auntie and uncle running it, her in the front, and him cooking in the back. They have a fun eclectic collection of collections including money and map pins from around the world. She was super friendly in the front, sharing about all the things she's collected. Their menu is simple, pretty much eggs and meat. Everything is cooked to order and simply delicious. Coffee is a blend including locally sourced beans. Prices are reasonable but I wouldn't say cheap. It also seemed popular for large to go orders. It's worth checking out.

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.

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!

We didn't see it when we turned left and parked further down. We were walking around other businesses but eventually found it. Do it! because it is well worth it. If you are looking for some true, basic, local, comfort food, this is a spot. We had the loco moco, corned beef hash loco moco, and the beef stew loco moco. All tasted sooo good and comforting. Loco moco beef patty was tender, moist and cooked properly. Had that earthy beef taste from the seasonings or was that just the natural flavor of the beef? Corned beef hash loco moco had that lightly grilled exterior with moist interior. Not too salty. I could taste the corned beef. So good! Beef stew loco. Wow! Never had that combo. Beef was tender, veg was plentiful. Excellent beef stew! We upgraded from white rice to their fried rice and were glad we did. Their fried rice is cooked with bacon and bits of their roast park and other meats. So flavorful! This place is known for its multiple loco moco flavors / combinations. Definite must try when you are here. Service was local, funny, and kind.

I must say it was delicious I can't wait to go back and try some of the other mocos they have there. Definitely would recommend this place if you are in the area.

Looking for a kid and family friendly Restaurant with Local and Filipino Cuisine? Look no further…read moreand head to Tante's Island Cuisine in the heart of Kahului at the Maui Seaside Hotel. Our Ohana and family friends have been eating here for years. They serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. If you're looking for a place to have a small gathering or celebration, they do catering and had a small party near our table (we were told to be quiet during a prayer for that party which we respectfully did). Our family of 7 ordered a variety of food. My nephew is Vegan and there was a Veggie Stir Fry he ordered, to my Brother in Law who likes it "simple" so he got Beef Teriyaki with Macaroni Salad, and to my mom and niece who love their Filipino food, mom ordered a Tamarind Soup with Shrimp and Vegetables called Sinigang, and my niece ordered a Peanut Sauce dish called Kare Kare. My dad and I stick to our favorites. He got his usual Baby Back Ribs (which I didn't get to picture) and I got my usual Local Favorites Combo that had the most tender and savory Beef Teriyaki and crispy Mahi Mahi with Tartar Sauce on a bed of Cabbage. The Molokai Sweet Potato is a must when you get a side but this time, I did crave some greens so I opted for a side salad with Papaya Dressing. Meal isn't complete without Dessert! And Filipino Ice Dessert I might add...Halo Halo (which literally translates to "mix mix"). Being the true Fil-American that I am, I don't like to "Mix Mix" because I prefer my Ube Ice Cream in tact. I explained this to my Brother in Law from the Mainland who also said this is the first Purple anything he's ever eaten haha! But this is a refreshing dessert to end the meal since it has fresh cantaloupe, avocado, coconut, banana, and jellies, with ice covered in evaporated and condensed milk. If you want to "mix mix" let your inner Filipino out! Our visiting family had a great time catching up and enjoyed our yummy meal together. The Filipino aunty servers are always top notch and serve your food with Aloha! We probably only waited 15 minutes or so for the food as well which is always appreciated especially when hungry.
