The cashier was so welcoming and nice and apologized for the wait and even slipped me a side of poke. Absolutely did not need to do that but if they were trying to get rid of an extra order of food - by all means THE FOOD WAS WORTH IT. OMG. The burger was so juicy and savory. The bleu cheese combined with the burger so damn well. I couldn't stop complimenting it after each bite. My family got annoyed because I could hardly contain myself. I honestly prefer this vs Haven's Maalaea. Regardless. Great food truck. Delicious food. Poke is ono. Just do it.

On the hunt for the best burger in Maui I ended up here…read more.. Ordered a few burgers for the coworkers to try and off we went. Slightly expensive as it's around $20 a burger, but that's inline with pricing in Maui. The burger was ok, but slightly dry. It needed more sauce to overcome the dryness. While not the worst burger I've had in Maui, it's not in my top 5. Burger - 3/5

Their barbecued ribs are surprisingly special and fall-off-the-bone-tender. My husband really enjoyed the fish tacos. We both had grilled chicken on our second visit. I can't remember the last time I saw baked potatoes as a side choice and they were perfectly prepared as well. We found the service to be very efficient and friendly despite the place being super crowded and busy both visits. The milkshakes are a bit spendy with the 'daily special' running $18! My husband loved the flavor but not sure we'd spring for that again.

While it was a little snug for 6 adults and a toddler *she didn't want to use the offered high chair*, we did alright. We all chose different drinks like the virgin strawberry daiquiri, pink lemonade and a boozy shake. All were tasty and brought to us by 3 different people. For food, we had At the Hop (a grilled chicken with BBQ sauce), a BLT, mozzarella sticks, and a couple of other burgers I honestly can't remember the cool names of. Seriously delicious all around. Service was amazing!

Seating is available throughout the oasis, and would definitely recommend if you're looking for some quality burgers in the area.

We found them at South Maui Gardens and decided to give them a try. We ordered the Deuce Deuce…read moresmash burger ($19) and an order of onion rings ($8). The burger was very delicious, and they even cut it in half for us to share. The beef was flavorful, juicy, and cooked well. My only minor critique is that the bun felt a bit large and thick compared to the amount of patty, but it was still a really good burger overall. The onion rings were also excellent, crispy, golden, and delicious. The biggest downside was the price. For a burger and an order of onion rings + tax + credit card surcharge, our total came to $29, which felt pretty steep. The food was good, but the cost may give me pause before ordering again.

I got the garlic shrimp and was expecting a food truck style entree. Wow was I wrong in a very good way. Huge prawns came on a plate with a bed of rice slathered in garlic and butter. They brought a bunch of napkins and even latex gloves for me to dive into this dish. There is a restroom close so washing up isn't a problem. Dig in I went. I didn't make eye contact with the rest of our group till done. I was in garlic shrimp heaven. Best meal of the week in Maui.

Today ordered through door dash and ordered the BBQ fries, what I got was a completely different dish, i got fries topped with kalua pork, sesame seeds and sriracha mayo, no coleslaw. I called to ask if this was the correct item and the person said yes, we changed how we make it but didn't update the menu and hung up. Very disappointing and poor customer service. Won't be ordering from here anymore.

Oh no! I do t know what happened! I thought I posted my review here, but I guess I just posted it…read moreon Facebook to all my friends the day of! I'm so sorry Fainthful Grinds!! My husband and I took our retired pastors to Maui to renew our 40th anniversary and their 50th wedding anniversary. When we landed, I found this place on yelp. So we had breakfast here. Wow! So good. The food, the service. Not a large place, but at the time it wasn't busy and we got to sit down. After touring the big island the week before, then here on Maui we all decided that faithful grinds was our favorite place to dine. Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious and made with love. So on the way back home to fly out we all decided we need to go back. Again so good not busy, until later the line was out the door. So glad we got to eat before our flight. They all feel like family to me. I even posted a photo of the two gals working the front with me. It's like we could be cousins. The place is truly a small hole in the wall with the feel of the islands. I would totally come back every time I fly down. I recently noticed that people have been complaining due to seating. Why complain? So glad they are blessed and doing so well that they are so busy. Unfortunately for us once I post this review, they'll most likely get even more people lining out the door. That what happened to our favorite sushi place in Seattle. Once I posted a review, you can barely get reservations. Blessings to you all faithful grinds. Until we meet again! Aloha

But, the biz didn't answer their phone. All I got was the automated "voicemail not set up" pre-recorded message. A coworker called, same thing. Another coworker chimed in and said to order online but I was apprehensive to do so if they weren't actually open. She then called and actually got through, but got yelled at and scolded, told they're busy and to order online and even hung up on her. Really? I get it that everybody is short staffed, so why not activate your voicemail with a greeting to "order online" or just answer the phone cordially and relay the message? How can you treat customers like this, let alone locals who are your bread & butter? OVERALL: If service isn't good, I can't continue to patronize or recommend a place no matter how good the food is. I welcome this second biz, to my new collection, "Bad Service".

Kula, HI. In the mood for a burger but not a fast food…read morevariety. This location is in a food truck complex with quite a busy vibe. If you can't find a picnic table you may have to eat in your car. I ordered the Kula Burger. It was quite good. Is it a premium $15 burger? No it is not, but it wants to be. I would suggest a bit more size and you got it. The patty was cooked medium plus, still exhibiting juice. It was well over a half inch thick which is a rarity these days. If it could just make it to 3/4 inch (Cooked) it would be awesome.The jack cheese was very mild, adding little to the flavor. The sauce was a good compliment to the flavor of the meat that had that lean taste to it. The bun was pretty fluffy, kind of dominating. It was toasted on the inside faces but still needs a bit more heat. It held up well though to the end, not at all turning mushy. Over all, not bad, above average for sure.

I got the mochiko chicken on the salad and it was such a hearty serving I couldn't finish it (definitely shareable). Mac salad is great too. It's a pickup place so no place to sit down so definitely be ready to take your food to go and enjoy it in a park or a nearby beach! There are a few places somewhat close by if you have a car. Lines can get long but order online and pickup is the right way to be able to get your food quickly.... I was able to get my order right away!

The service was normal, there was no pave to eat inside you so order at a fake out window. It was hot and no place to sit down and eat. You had to buy and eat inside your car or take it somewhere else. Chicken Mochoco was super flavorful and crispy. I loved the ingredients they had and they fried their chicken. The sauce was a little saucy and I would have gotten rice instead of garlic noodles which were underwhelming. Overall 4/5 for chicken mochoko. The dry mein and Saimen were mid. Not great. Not terrible but I would order something else. It was also expensive for those two dishes and so I would appropriately price those and the food was generic with those two ordered. Would I return, if I was hungry and in the area the Mochoco Chicken was good. But I didn't have any time to try anybting else. The Saimen and Dry Mein were Gm very very generic. So that's why I gave it a 5 stars. I know to go orders is popular in Maui and it's more expensive to open a store so I would recommend investing in one where people can really enjoy your food. Probably can charge more!
