    We arrived at Moose's about 12:30 pm November 26,2021. After showing our QR code with ID we were allowed to sit inside. Our server Hayden was awesome! Brought us water to give us some time to look at the menu. By the time he was back with our waters, we were ready to order. Beer, Lava flow, Nachos to share. He was busy, and kept up on all his tables very professionally and friendly. Really enjoyed our lunch and service. We will be returning soon! Our go to place to eat!!!

    Bacon & mushrooms burger

    This is located on the second floor above Fred's, it has a great view of the ocean if you're in the front of the restaurant. I don't know how to describe the decor, but I liked all of the different pictures everywhere. They have bar food but everything we had was great, coconut shrimp, fish tacos, beef tacos and the Mahi Mahi fish and chips. We really enjoyed there cocktails and would go back just for those. They have a happy hour every day from 5to7

    One heck of a way to end her birthday nightcap. Our server Kevin wrapped her NICE RACK tank top in brown paper bag signed, sealed and delivered maui bar post office. So awesome. She's smiling. Thank you Kevin, aka Captain Redbeard, wizard (Kevin's brother), Lisa and bartender Eammon. Last night we were here and Ian hooked us up with his green tree shot. Found out today he's and brand new uncle. Kudos to the moose family

    Monday night free Bingo was super fun! I've never played and my husband didn't even want to but we both had a great time

    This was our last night in Maui...after a grueling Road to Hana trip...lol.. totally worth it... We were ready for a beer! The staff here at Moose McGillycuddy's is absolutely on point! No joke! The hostess...the super sweet bus lady...and of course Kevin were the Best !!! Not only is Kevin all over that restaurant making sure all of his customers are happy and have everything they need ...he does it with joy ! He was so personable and made the last night of our trip a great one I would repeat like Ground Hog day If I owned this restaurant I would be so grateful to have and be So pleased with my staff !! These folks are all gems!!! And work so hard!! They all work as a great team as well supporting one another and giving the Best customer service! The wings were great! But I will say the other food here we tried is ok...not great...we ate here 2nd day of our trip as well and the wings were the best thing I tried on the menu. What I will say is we had such fun! Thank you Kevin for a great experience we would come back for !!!

    We came here straight from the beach - which didn't matter- super low key, chill vibe. Easy to find a seat at 1:30p on a Tuesday afternoon. Great views of the ocean and palm trees- we grabbed seats at the bar. Numerous televisions all over the restaurant - would be a fab spot to catch a game while visiting Maui. My boyfriend and I shared the nachos with pork. They did not disappoint. I forgot to snag a pic but there was sooooo much pork on there we had to ask for more chips! A good problem to have. :) They smoke the pork in house- so any entree or app with pork would be a great choice! The bartender was running the show behind the bar solo- and she did a great job- even chatted about some local stuff. Highly recommend swinging in here for a bite. Nightly food specials, Trivia on Wednesdays, HH deals. Large draft beer selection!

    Kalua pork ! May look like a mess but it's delicious and packs in tons of flavor !
    Stephanie C.

    While this some what hidden bar / restaurant may seem like you're typical bland American bar it is quite surprising and delightful . The staff is always very friendly and efficient. Danny was out waiter this last time I went and he was great ! They have a variety of American type bar food but they also have a great Kaloa pork that comes close to many I've tried at Hawaiian restaurants. I highly recommend trying it . Their drinks are also good and they have a decent happy hour . Overall I highly recommend coming here if you're in kihei and want a casual dine in experience with great food and veiw.

    Beef sliders
    Kaylynn M.

    It had a bit of a chain restaurant feel, but the sliders were really good. We were in a scramble for a late night food option and they came in clutch. Our sever was helpful with some other local food recommendations for us which was a nice added bonus.

    Lilikoi martini
    Alan R.

    This was the first stop on my and my wife's foodie little foodie excursion. While our cocktails were pretty good, we really questioned the sanitary conditions of the bar. When we walked in towards the bar, there was a really strong yeasty, rotting beer smell. It was definitely not your typical bar beer smell. If I had to take a guess, I would think that they didn't clean their taps, that's usually what causes that smell. It basically causes stale beer to be mixed in with your fresh beer and the old beer actually starts rotting causing this really strong and specific odor. Other than the smell, the cocktails that we ordered were actually quite pleasant. This isn't necessarily a bad spot, I just would steer clear of their beer. It's close to the beach, so perfect for a quick drink after a swim and the service was friendly.

    Recommendation by Christina delicious fish. Coconut shrimp and calamari strips
    Kat R.

    Highly recommend this place, omg so many cool signs you just can't stop reading these and literally LOL, if you visit the restrooms be ready to spend 10 minutes just reading them AND BIG THANKS TO CHRISTINA AKA MATA for the hot sauce,MAHALO hope your son had the best birthday weekend ever oh must try the calamari strips fish basket delicious

    Best Mai Tai in Kihei!!
    Ashley M.

    We LOVED Moose's!! Great view, great bartenders, friendly locals and an AWESOME vibe!!! This was absolutely "our kind of place!" We went for happy hour (and stayed late) almost every night of our trip!! Matt and Ian (and a female bartender whose name I didn't get, unfortunately) poured strong and delicious cocktails! The Mai Tais were the best we had in any of the bars we visited! The food was good, too. We really enjoyed the Kahlua pork sandwich! On Monday night they had bingo...SO much fun!! I won $5 in Moose Bucks! Whoop whoop! Wish we could have been there for Wednesday night Trivia, but it gives us something to look forward to on our next trip! One suggestion...the chips and salsa needs to come with double the amount of salsa and it would be great if their was a spicier option! (It's super, super mild)

    Fried calamari
    Adiba O.

    Highly recommend to come visit here for happy hour! Great pub vibes and a perfect stop after exploring the beach in Kihei. Their fried calamari was the best I've ever tasted and the drinks were awesome!

I managed to stop in on one very…read morebusy night, one slow night, and one average night, so I got to see it all different ways, and it's what you'd expect in a local dive bar. The bartenders were doing the best they could on the busy night and the crowd was very understanding. On the slower and more average nights you could tell everyone was less stressed. From some of the reviews here you'd think some people have never been in a local dive before. I came mainly for the karaoke, which runs every night. Easy system for requesting a song- just send a text with your name, artist, and title. Good crowd for karaoke too, everybody applauds, a mix of good singers and people fueled by liquid courage. Again, just what you want in a karaoke dive bar. Only bar I've ever been into that had a dB SPL meter behind the bar, too. I didn't ask for the story behind it, but I bet there is one. Terrible cell phone reception here, and I kept forgetting to ask for the WiFi password. So if you're using a ride share service, plan ahead. Glad to have a favorite karaoke spot on the island now. I'll be back!

    6.22.26 UPDATE We…read moreoriginally had a disappointing experience due to slow service, limited attention from staff, and the lack of air conditioning during our visit. However, the owner took the time to respond and explain that the entire shopping center wing was experiencing cooling issues and that the restaurant was dealing with significant staffing shortages at the time. While that doesn't completely change the experience we had, I appreciate that the owner acknowledged the challenges and responded professionally rather than dismissing the feedback. One observation I would offer is that, as a customer, it was difficult to tell who was serving tables. I noticed several employees in Pint & Cork shirts moving around the restaurant, but only saw a couple of servers actively covering the dining area. It's possible some staff were assigned to bartending or other responsibilities, but from the guest perspective it gave the impression that table service was understaffed while other employees appeared unavailable. I still think there is room for improvement in the flow and logistics on the floor, but I appreciate the owner's willingness to engage with feedback and explain the circumstances. That being said, I would be willing to give the restaurant another chance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATED REVIEW AFTER OWNER'S RESPONSE: 6.21.26 I appreciate the response. It's telling that you addressed the air conditioning, disputed the gender of an employee, and questioned whether I was even there, yet didn't meaningfully respond to the concerns about service, timing, attentiveness, or food quality. If a customer leaves with a poor experience, the question isn't whether they perfectly recalled every detail. The question is why they left with that impression in the first place. I suspect future readers can draw their own conclusions from both the review and the response. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probably the most disappointing dining experience of our Hawaii trip. We specifically asked to sit indoors because we wanted a break from the Maui heat after spending the day outside. Unfortunately, we quickly realized there was no air conditioning, making the indoor seating barely any cooler than outside. The restaurant also felt severely understaffed. It took around 10 minutes just to get a Diet Coke, and every time I asked for assistance, the woman working at the register seemed to defer the request rather than help or find someone who could. Meanwhile, some employees appeared more interested in chatting than helping customers, while only one or two staff members seemed to be working the floor. I understand restaurants get busy, especially in a tourist area, but the issue wasn't just the wait--it was the feeling that customer service wasn't a priority. As for the food, it was nothing special. I ordered a steak that had a nice smoky flavor, but it arrived well done and overcooked. The rest of the meal was average at best and definitely not memorable enough to make up for the service issues. Between the lack of air conditioning, slow service, inattentive staff, and mediocre food, this was one of the few places in Hawaii where I genuinely regretted spending my money. Considering the location at The Shops at Wailea and the prices being charged, I expected a much higher level of hospitality and execution. There are far too many great dining options in Wailea to come back here.

We ordered a 50/50 pizza of Chicken Thai-phoon which has a sweet chili sauce, tasty chicken, green papers, pineapple, basil, & cilantro. The kalua pork has bbq sauce, succulent pork, pineapple, & green onions. Both pizzas are unique, mouthwatering deliciousness that combine sweet, a bit o' heat, and lots of savory flavors along with textures. The unique sauces really amp these pizzas up with flavor. However, when we order next time, we'll likely ask for light sauce as even though it's incredibly tasty, it was on a little heavy for our preference. The tiki fries were also delicious! On one of our trips we polished off two baskets full! Savory with umami flavor and crunchiness, it's easy to have two baskets disappear quickly! Service is always friendly! You're sure to be greeted with a smile and good humor. In the afternoons and evenings there's live music sometimes and that just adds to the overall wonderful experience of hanging out here.
