    Went in for Saturday morning brunch and everything was delicious. I shared the papaya fruit bowl with my husband and everything was fresh. I got the chicken and waffles and my husband got the croissant breakfast Sando. Great service, drinks and food. Can't wait to go back.

    Garlic Fries and Frozen POG with Alcohol
    Luna G.

    My family and I stopped in here after walking around shopping and looking for a place to sit down for lunch. It seemed more like just a brewery and meant to grab drinks until we sat down and grabbed a bite to eat. I ordered a hamburger and split garlic fries with my party. I also got a frozen POG juice drink with rum, which was so cool and refreshing. Also, definitely a good portion and size drink for the average person. The hamburger was cooked great, it was a good size, filling, and hit the spot just right! The garlic fries were good, but lacking what I guess I was expecting, which was more topping. The service was fine. Note: Because part of the restaurant is open, there are a good amount of birds just chilling inside. I still wouldn't mind coming back again!

    Cheddar Burger
    Jeffry C.

    This place was great !!! Gotta say the service was 10/10 , Kennedy was awesome !!! Friends loved the nachoes with pork ... very good I had the cheddar burger and for sure the flavors were popping and yummy I gotta say the drinks were verrrry good True North , by far my favorite and could have plenty of it .... Will comeback to check it out again

    Fish Sandwichh
    Samantha H.

    I highly recommend the fish sandwich! It's absolutely delicious! It's not part of the happier hour, but totally worth it. The service is often just okay; there have been a few visits where it looked like employees were switching out shifts. This guy took our drink order, then vanished. Another girl took over our table, and the guy came back at the end to give us the check. It was really odd, considering he didn't assist us the entire time. The service wasn't bad after we got the assistance we needed; it just came off as unorganized and confusing. I enjoy going here because the vibe is relaxing, almost as if you are on vacation. I prefer this location over the one in Waikiki, which is actually closer to my house.

    I'm updating my review because this visit was a completely different experience and in the best way. I went with a much smaller party, just me and my boyfriend, and everything was smooth from start to finish. We ordered the wings and the black truffle garlic fries along with a couple of drinks, and the food came out super fast. The service was much better this time. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable

    Nachos
    Justin R.

    This experience was a bit above average. We really enjoyed the live music and our server team was attentive despite the establishment being busy. The food was comparable to Chilis or Red Robin. I'd certainly go back for the nachos. I had a fish taco and my wife had a cheeseburger. I sampled a bit. It was ok. Fish taco's- 6/10. Burger- 5/10. I'm not sure how the wings were but my kiddo seemed to approve. Yes there is much better (in the area) for the value. If you are an out of towner, check it out.

    My $32 nachos lol

    Fast and friendly service by the bartender and a nice, relaxed atmosphere after a day at the beach. The Mango Stickee Rice IPA (brewed w/ lactose, mango, jasmine rice & toasted coconut) was delicious, paired with a generous portion of nachos. What I didn't appreciate was a $19 order of nachos, becoming a $32 order when the bill came. It's a $8 up charge for achiote chicken or guava pork (and that's fine), but given the suggestion to do "half & half" I didn't realize I'd be charged for nearly two full portions of each. Imagine paying $32 for nachos... anywhere SMH. A manager did apologize and took off the upcharge, which was very much appreciated. Otherwise, an enjoyable early dinner.

    My friend Deb was in Kailua and wanted to watch the Warriors game. She looked around and found Maui. She told me to meet her here. It's a nicely laid out place. We sat at the bar. The first bartender was great! Funny too! We ordered a couple of ales and some guacamole and chips. We then ordered wings and fries. Everything came out in a timely matter and good, I mean, it's bar food. It is a great place to watch sports because they have great flat screens. Janey arrived and ordered a caeser salad with chicken which she really liked. The bartender who served her, he wasn't as friendly. In this time, where prices are increasing and some people can't go out, the dining experience should be enjoyable. After the game we left. I would consider coming back if in the area.

    The portions were yummy and big - the happy hour is a MUST! Our server was very sweet and kept us nice and hydrated. Not a full 5 stars because we spent most of the time overheating (yes we live here and are used to it). No AC inside, not enough fans outside, and the pigeons will run up on you with no hesitation, but if you can get past that- it is SO worth it for the food, beers, and service. Definitely would be a good spot for a cooler day.

    Nachos - veggie
    Carole B.

    Our server Sydney was a ray of sunshine on a rainy afternoon in Kailua. She was upbeat, attentive and on top of everything. We were lucky enough to arrive in time to enjoy happy hour. Great deals on drinks and vittles including $12 pizza and $9 nachos. The patio is nice and breezy but it's part of a high end strip mall so it's not the most charming location. However the service and quality of the food and drinks make up for it!

    Pork nachos
    Liz C.

    Big spacious restaurant with bar and patio seating. I enjoyed grilled chicken tacos, Mango wheat beer, and my son tried pork nachos. Everything was good but service was slow so take your time when you come to this location and would come back!

    OMG Hazy IPA

    Service was prompt and attentive! (Ty was our server) This was our first visit to this location after having been to Waikiki a few times. Easy parking, same good beer and food. We will probably return. We were able to share the fish tacos plus fries between two adults. Keiki enjoyed the burger.

    Garlic and grana fries
    Abby W.

    We stopped into Maui Brewing for a drink and I couldn't pass up the garlic and grana fries. These fries were some of the best fries I've ever had and I'd come back purely for them alone. The thick and creamy ranch was the perfect dipping sauce.

My Teriyaki flap steak was okay (little on the dry side) but was tasty. On the other hand ..my friend's Teri burger was not what she expected as the burger was grilled but Teri sauce on the side . So was not like a grilled Teri burger which was marinated in Teri sauce . ( server did not mention this) The server was very nice and offered us a birthday treat ... Vanilla ice cream in a brownie in honor of my birthday. It was very nice to sit and dine comfortably and chat without being rushed. I would like to return at dinner and try their regular steak dinners and the Artichoke surprise... with a night ambiance . Until the next time !!

The food: it was a fixed menu due to Valentine's Day, I guess I did not see that when I booked the reservations or it was listen on the open table app. I wish I had known because I wanted to try other dishes. Anyways.. we got to each choose an appetizer so we got the coconut shrimp which omgggg really good, that sauce was a perfect touch, the shrimp was nicely crispy. We also got the beef tataki which was another fav I must say. The main entrees was ok, I only say this because we got the lamb and fish. The lamb came with 4 pieces but 2 were cooked good and the other 2 seemed like it could have been cooked a little longer. The fish to me was also over done and a little touch and hard. I will go back because I do wanna try other things on their menu. Overall we still made it a great night and will come back again.

First and foremost on the list for our search, was…read morewe hoped to find a place that had televised sports (both Monday Night Football and the World Series were on--but remember, this is Hawaii--way-out in the Pacific, so live-games come on in the afternoon or even earlier). Multiple screens make it so there is not a bad seat in the house. We also hoped to find a place with more of a "neighborhood/locals" energy to chill and relax our tired dogs (feet) in...and also, if it wasn't asking too much, hoped that it would have a fun vibe. (*Check those criteria off). "Icing on the cake", for us would be if the location had decent food. (Check that one off and put an exclamation point behind it--as the nachos we had were, "Fire".) As fate would have it, a lucky break was to be had as we walked in to the very-full bar. There, before us, were two stools at the bar (*the last remaining spots in the place) and they happened to be open. Side note: The bar has a speak-easy attached to it, and one day, we are gonna try it. Going there has been mentioned a few times when we have chatted with locals and tourists regarding memorable and unique things to do. Our servers were pleasant and accommodating despite the fact that the place was "choke widd plenty-kine cust-a'mah" (local pidgin for, full of customers). It's a hard balancing act to make patrons feel welcomed, but also not leave other thirsty tables waiting for too long. The two pretty blondes working that afternoon did a fantastic job at this. My seasonal sour beer hit all the right notes, and my wife seemed to enjoy her less exotic tap beer (Blue moon with an orange slice--served ice cold). There is a ton of beers to choose from here. Lighting in the Kailua Tavern is kinda darkish (not a problem, as I like me a dark bar sometimes). The locals were very-welcoming. One guy offered his table to us when he noticed our food had arrived and our plates were a bit pinned in. Also, anyone who happened to be sitting near us immediately engaged in friendly banter about the games. One guy of Tongan decent, who was probably 6'5" and had muscles piled-on to his massive frame came over and leaned in very close to ask, "Hey DEN, Bradah, YOU MIND FOR IF I GO DANCE WICH YOU DATE?" (*That didn't happen, I thought channeling a classic moment from the bar-scene in, Animal House, would be funny...but like the Toronto Blue Jays in the late innings of last night's game, "Swing and a miss". ) The Kailua Town Tavern was the opposite of a swing and a miss for us. It was fun and a good place to "chill"; the vibe was what we had hoped for; and of special note were the steak strips on the nachos, as they were superb.

THE FOOD. Omg. Everything is delicious. I've been here a few times now and they have never disappointed. I absolutely love the roast pork, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I would rub these on my face if I could. Bolo de Bolacha - Like tiramisu, but with experience. One of my favorites. Branzino - This fish is so soft and flavorful, and the salad it comes with is incredible. It takes a little longer to prepare, so order it first! Pistachio Rum Cake - Also one of my favorites. I genuinely can't choose. It's buttery, delightful, and just the right amount of sinful. Pastéis de Nata - A classic for a reason. The best custard tarts you'll ever have. I could eat one every morning with a cup of tea. Medeiros ʻOhana Celebration Cake - Chocolate. Cherry. Goodness. That's all I have to say. Arroz Doce - Think crème brûlée meets rice pudding. AMAZING. I've had it both warm and cold, and honestly, both are incredible. If you're looking for a dessert to take with you and eat in the car on the way home (because somehow you'll still have room), this is the one. Basically... just go.

They do have walk in seating but best get reservations as the walk in seats fill up quickly. If you sit at the bar, bring a sweater as it'll be cold. Otherwise the restaurant is very comfortable.
