Thankfully I've had some great exciting with this type of fish in the last few weeks but DARROW'S is and has been the best. That's why I titled this review THE GOAT.

We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at Darrow's, and I left with such a full heart…read more Of course, the food was delicious and everyone in our family enjoyed their meal, but it was the way Norwood, Linda, Joy, and the entire Darrow's staff treated my dad that made the day so special. There was such genuine warmth and kindness. They didn't make us feel like we were simply customers having a birthday dinner, they made us feel like family. As a daughter, there's something incredibly special about watching your dad turn 80 and seeing him happy, laughing, sharing stories about our family history, and surrounded by people who truly enjoyed celebrating him. By the end of the evening, it felt like Pops had gained a new Darrow's family, and that touched my heart. Thank you, Darrow's, for loving on my dad and helping our family celebrate 80 years of his life. You played an instrumental part in creating a memory that we will cherish for years to come. The food was wonderful, the service was exceptional, but the way you made my dad feel is what I'll remember most. Five stars PLUS! + We will absolutely be back.

Why I haven't updated my review is on me... ... and so here we are! GodNiece came through and wanted to do food delivery from here. I'm so happy to learn they now have my go-to shrimp and oyster po'boy on the menu! (I had to make a special request for this on my last run since it wasn't on the menu at the time) so I went for that again. I also asked for the bread to be toasted (forgot to do that on my last run, too.) And, boy, oh, boy! They are consistent! They didn't skimp on the shrimp and the oysters, bread was perfectly toasted and kept all the ingredients in and each bite was just down right delish! And because the handheld meal was so big, I was only able to consume half and save the other for the next meal... which is when I realized I forgot to take a picture. Heh.... Hubbers, GodNiece and her husband loved their picks as well. This place is now on our list of dinner rotation for when they come through. Woohoo!

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be hugged by a plate of food, 808 Local Hawaiian…read moreGrill has the answer. This spot is small, casual in the best way, the kind of place where you walk in stressed from work and walk away knowing the food will comfort you. The moment you step in, you get that "bro, relax" energy. No crazy décor, no weird mood lighting, no host judging your outfit. Just good food, good vibes, and the faint spiritual presence of someone whispering "aloha, braddah." It's the type of place where you can roll in wearing gym shorts, flip‑flops, or your "I woke up late" face and nobody blinks. Service here is like being adopted into a Hawaiian family you didn't know you had. They're friendly without being fake, fast without rushing you, and they actually smile, like real smiles, not the "my manager is watching" kind. They hand you your food like they're handing you a blessing. I swear one plate winked at me. Listen... the food is delish. The kalua pork and beef is so tender it should come with a warning label. The teriyaki chicken tastes like it was marinated in the tears of happy island angels. And the mac salad? Bro... that mac salad could solve arguments, reunite families, and end global beef. Portions are generous, like "I didn't need all this but I'm absolutely finishing it" generous. Miguel C.

We ordered the sisig and the lechon, and both were outstanding, but the lechon truly blew us away. It had the most flavorful, juicy meat and the crispiest, most perfectly seasoned skin we've ever had in the US. It genuinely felt like a taste of home. The service was just as wonderful. Kristel was incredibly friendly and attentive, and we even got to meet the owner, Zaldy, who treated us like family. He even surprised our son with ice cream which was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and has a welcoming vibe. We loved that they have karaoke too and we ended up singing along and had a great time. Ethan's Belly Boink is a true hidden gem. We'll definitely be back soon

I've been coming to Back Home in Lahaina in the early 2000s since I started working in the South Bay. With our frequent visits, we were given loyalty stamp cards that earned 3 free rewards after reaching a designated tier: beverage, appetizer, & entrée (usually redeem the Lahaina Fried Chicken Entree) or t-shirt. In the early 2010s, we changed our dining time to their "Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays" after H turned toddler, & brought our friends with kids too. While the longstanding promo is no longer active, they occasionally run holiday or event-based kids eat free specials. Their Keiki (kid's meal) Menu includes: main entrée, side, drink, & dessert... it's a great value for the amount of food! I first learned about Back Home in Lahaina from my bank supervisor who lives in the South Bay. Her family loves the authentic Hawaiian comfort foods, particularly the addicting Lahaina Fried Chicken. It's famous for their slightly sweet, light & crunchy chicken. I love adding a splash of NOH Hawaiian Hot Sauce for a l'il heat! There's 2 specials (Beef Stew Curry, Fish & Chips) that I often order when I see it on the menu. And I always order the curry... love the Japanese-inspired curry roux base with mild heat! Usually posted in the late fall & winter, it's the perfect comfort food to counter the chill! When my husband is hungrier than norm, he'll either add an order of Hawaiian Nachos (they use wonton skins as chips instead of tortillas), or replace the entrée with the Back Home Sampler, which has a bit of everything. We've ordered maybe 1/2 of the menu over the years? Sticking to our favs, & adding other items when we're dining with guests. Their entrées are large enough to share between 2 people, & have been doing so in later years whereas I was hangry enough to eat the whole plate on my own. If you still have room for dessert, Haupia or Jello Cheesecakes are both delish to end your meal. I like the former; it's creamy yet light with a delicate, rich coconut filling. The kiddos love the latter for the strawberry jello that adds a sweet bouncy punch of flavor to the tangy cheesecake. The 1st decade's food & service was excellent, & we dined in so much that we knew most of the servers & can ask for "our usual" before we are seated. The timing is almost seamless from entry to our order to paying our check. Our servers were detailed-oriented to make sure everything is in place after serving our food (extra plates & napkins, necessary condiments), refilling our water with no/little prompts, & bringing our check quickly with necessary boxes when there's leftovers. However, the 2nd decade had its ups & down, especially during the pandemic lockdown (the once spacious dining room was awkward & warm with the plexiglass partitions). Gone are our fav servers, loyalty stamp card, & "Kids Eat Free on Wednesdays." What really kept us from returning often is the lack of consistency in food & service. If we're taking an early dinner around 5:30 PM, sometimes we have to wait awhile because there's no host(ess) at the counter. There may be times when we're seated & there's no server around, or I'm waving the menu to catch their eye. Then there's order execution issues: waiting period from our order to expedition time, not everything is served the relatively the same time, food quality (partly raw chicken, stale wonton chips, overcooked chicken tenders, etc.) & quantity (seems like there's a less?) issues. It's common enough to be a deterrent for frequent repeat visits. But when they're on point, it's the best bang for your buck value for a delish Hawaiian meal! Back Home in Lahaina serves some of the best Hawaiian foods around the South Bay. It's a vibrant community hangout, especially when they host live Hawaiian music (usually on Friday evenings) from regular local acts & guest feature artists! Mahalo! Recommended: Everything on the order list, especially the Lahaina Fried Chicken & Beef Stew Curry.
