Very dated interior, limited staff, and owner running business into the ground due to lack of effort. While food was good, a lot of menu items no longer offered, no Happy Hour drinks, no Happy Hour Menu, no Roy's famous fish trio entree, etc... Staff was good, but limited in number. Staff apologized and mentioned that business was not good enough to hire more employees. Wonder why??!!?? All Whaler's village restaurants are booming!! Other Roy's locations are great, especially Ko Olina. Recommend to just close this one, and not have customers die a slow death too! read more

What it lacks in character it makes up for in the food. We came here for a late night dinner and had the coconut shrimp, the butterfish, and the tiger prawns. All was fantastic, with my girlfriend noting how "you know it's good when no one's talking". We also had the ube flan, which, while good, was a stretch of the word "flan". read more

There's a Roy's on the mainland and we weren't too excited about having dinner here but wanted to check it out. We were proved wrong! We sat near the window with the golf course view, it was hot because the sun was beating on it. We ordered cocktails, and it was a very good cocktail. Mine was a mango flavored one, it was surprisingly good. For the kids menu- we got our toddler the grilled salmon, came with rice and veggies. It came with a quesadilla, veggie starter, and even ice cream. What a good deal. He ate it all, and we munched on his starter. For us, my husband got their prixe fixe meal about $83ish- came with a ahi Caesar salad, beef short ribs and shrimp, and a dessert- the chocolate soufflé. I got the beet salad, and their misoyaki butterfish. Everything was excellent. My butterfish was the best. My husband's entree was great, surf and turf. And we got the dessert to go and ate it in the room and boy, it was still so good. We truly enjoyed every bite! We were really surprised how this was much better than many of the other type of restaurants like Roy's. We enjoyed everything and ate everything. read more

We've been here 8 yrs ago. Bragged about it with my Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law who were celebrating their 27th anniversary on this trip. We brought in a bottle of wine which they drank at their wedding. $30 corkage fee, yikes. Restaurant is very dated and simple. Nothing high end, but it rests on a golf course. Food3/5 Service 5/5 thank you Christian Ambulance 3/5 very dated Had the Prix Fix Meal. Both braised short ribs and salmon were so so. Best item was the chocolate Lava Cake, read more

I take friendships seriously so if you're in my orbit, I'm going all in and all out! My love is going to shine and stick on your soul like glitter! Unforgettable.... As Nat King Cole sang! We are here because I chose the most lavish destination to celebrate life! Our last dinner on beautiful Maui. Located right outside the boardwalk is Roy's Kaanapali. Central because it's located on the Golf Course. My golf friends know this place well because it's the spot before a little tee time or after for the 19th hole! Ambiance is just okay! No need to go all out and dress up, you can but it's more chill and relaxed. Old and dated. BUT just fine! It's Maui! Service was excellent! Manger presence was in full effect and waiter was nice. We had a new waiter but he was fantastic. Let's get into it! Appetizer -Ribs huge portion! Delicious. Lucky we didn't have a kitchen or these would have been packed to go! Edamame- Yummy! Entrees - Swordfish/shrimp entree- was absolutely tantastic. Plating was plain but the food was delicious! Butterfish - Melt in your mouth good! Must visit while in Maui! read more

My folks and the folks in Hawaii didn't believe there was a Roy's in Baltimore once upon a time, but there was!! How do I know this, because I've eaten there twice!! When I saw that there was a Roy's about a mile from our resort, we had to check them out. Nothing special about the interior, kinda boring I'd say. It overlooks a beautiful PGA golf course that all of the big boys have played (their pictures are on the entry walls so I cheated).. Lol! Most people want to dine on the water while in Maui so Roy's better be good. Well, well, well, Roy's crushed it! Our rib appetizer was too damn big for an appetizer. We had to intentionally stop eating them to save room for our entrées and yes, those ribs were amazing! My swordfish/shrimp duo was absolutely fantastic. Her butterfish was just as good. When she shared a bite, it literally melted in my mouth. Service was impeccable, with the manager making his way over to introduce himself and offered his personal assistance as well. I'm glad I was able to experience Roy's once again, something that I thought was gone forever when they left Baltimore a few years back!! Maybe just maybe they'll try the Washington, DC area next.. Fingers crossed! read more

This will be a special lunch with Clients that became friends. But they like to dine special , so here we will be. In a couple hours, minutes from our stay in Napili. Update later. We had a wonderful lunch and we all chose the specials of the Day. i Had Swordfish Fish n Chips. The fish was beer batter and delicious. The fries were shoestring type and i like the regular style but still good. We talked so long we were last to leave. Beautiful view of the Golf Course, Glass walls. Quite Special. read more

As you walk in to Roy's Ka'anapali, you pass by the photos of Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus from their last skins game here back in 2011. The average clientele is totally from that generation. It's a living, breathing time capsule. As for the food, it was mediocre. The pork ribs were not Szechuan as marketed. The calamari was thick cut and not how I had imagined it and drowning in the sauce. The pasta with grilled shrimp was decent and the keiki meals were surprising solid and a decent value. The service was solid. Coming from LA, we were envisioning the Pasadena Roy's level of quality and execution. This place is more like a banquet dinner at your grandparents' 50th anniversary. Not more, not less. read more

I really enjoyed the fall prix fixe menu and it was fantastic. Started with the Caesar salad with seared ahi, followed by braised short ribs and tiger shrimp served with au gratin potatoes and mixed vegetables, and finished with a rich chocolate ganache cake--each dish had yummy layered flavors. I also sampled the Yama's Mama's meatloaf, which was delicious, served with creamy mashed potatoes and huge crunchy onion rings. The staff were super attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. My impression was that they really enjoyed their jobs. The restaurant itself has a clean, Hawaiian-inspired atmosphere with scenic views of the Kaanapali Golf Course, Having visited other Roy's locations, I can say they maintain a consistent level of quality. Highly recommended and looking forward to my next visit. read more

We liked Roy's so much, that we ate here twice during our stay in Maui. The food was great. They put down a dish of edamame that was very good. Then, we split their version of a caesar salad. I say their version because it had cucumbers and tomatoes in it along with the romaine lettuce and a creamy caesar dressing. They were a nice addition. The first tie, as an entrée,, I had the Kaanapali Cioppino. It had seafood and local fish in it and was served in a saffron garlic tomato broth. The second time, I had the Misoyaki Butterfish. It is truly delicious and it never disappoints. My husband has to Hibachi Grilled Atlantic Salmon. There weren't many restaurant that served salmon, so my husband really enjoyed it. As it was my husband's birthday, they treated us to a wonderful dish of sorbet that we split. The service both times was amazing. We were greeted as soon as we sat down. The server kept coming back to check to make sure that we were happy and enjoying the meal. We never felt rushed and had a nice leisurely meal. It is a very big restaurant and the tables are spread out nicely. We were not near the other tables and didn't need to listen to the conversation at the next table. When back in Maui, we would definitely return. read more

Haven't been here in years. Food is still very delicious. My fish was moist and rice cooked to perfection. The sauce was perfect. Other dishes were excellent as well. Staff is friendly and helpful. Ambiance is nice and relaxing. We came to celebrate my daughter's birthday but disappointed to find out they don't have their chocolate soufflé anymore! That was disappointing. Bring it back please. They also don't put the extra little decorations on the table and make a special birthday dessert. Everything that made that extra day memorable is gone. My daughter got a sorbet with a candle and we sang to her. I would definitely recommend coming for the food but not to come celebrate a special occasion. Ended up going to another place to get dessert to celebrate the day. read more

Excellent friendly service by knowledgeable, professionals. Tasty food served in the most attractive manner. What a treat.!

If you're looking for a great lunch spot with excellent service, amazing food and a beautiful view of the golf course this is definitely the place to go. I ordered the chicken katsu, and it was spot on crispy with a golden-brown crunch on the outside, while still juicy and tender inside. The white rice that came with it was perfectly warm, sticky and delicious. I also tried the chicken sandwich and oh my....it was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The fries that came with it were just as impressive, crispy, crunchy and salted exactly right. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive. The restaurant itself is very clean, spacious and has an inviting atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back :) read more

Roy's Kaanapali - Mahi-mahi and shrimp! - Hawaiian Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Let me start by saying...Roy's has the most legit kids menu in all of Hawaii! Reasonably priced (all things considered) with lots of good food. I also always enjoy my experience visiting this restaurant. Every entrée I've had has always been beautifully presented, very tasty and mindful of local flavors. Though I would choose other restaurants to dine at on Maui before landing on Roy's, you can always count on outstanding service, beautiful views and quality food at Roy's Kaanapali. read more

Roy's Kaanapali - Beef short ribs - Hawaiian Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Let's begin our Hawaiian disaster here. We called Roy's to schedule a 7:30 PM reservation, but when we arrived, they told us it was booked for 7:00 PM. After waiting about 15 minutes, we were finally seated and handed menus. About 10 minutes later, someone came to take our drink orders -- we asked for a couple of sodas and two adult beverages. It took roughly 25 minutes for the drinks to arrive, and only then did our server take our food order. We got our appetizers in a reasonable time, but then the nightmare really began -- we waited over an hour for our main courses. When the entrees finally arrived, several dishes were wrong. Some were overcooked, and others were missing ingredients that were clearly listed on the menu. Not once during that long wait did our server come by to apologize or give us any update like, "Your food is almost ready." The only time our waiter seemed to notice anything was when he stopped by to ask how the steak was -- completely ignoring the other four entrees on the table that were just as expensive. When he realized the steak was badly overcooked, he removed two salads and the steak from our bill. I think he could tell we were exhausted and frustrated by that point. We had chosen Roy's because we had read glowing reviews and thought it would be a special, memorable meal for our once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Instead, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had anywhere. Hawaii is home to incredible restaurants -- this is not one of them. Even if we come back in twenty years, we'll never set foot in here again. read more

Absolutely fantastic dinner. The place is lovely, very comfortable and modern. Service is friendly, honest and absolutely impeccable. The food- so good and beautifully plated. Calamari and rib appetizers are supreme. Pineapple martini is amazing. I had the meatloaf, just delicious. Daughter had tiger shrimp over garlic fried rice and loved it. Salmon looked gorgeous. Chocolate toffee mousse cake provided perfect finish. I guess the bottom line is that you can pay more, but you won't find a nicer place to dine in west Maui. Lots of fun pga memorabilia since it's connected to the clubhouse and right on the links. Easy free parking and really enjoyable in every way. I highly recommend Roys read more

Everything was amazing. The kids three course meal was a great deal and my 3 year old loved every bit of it. Plus both of ours were very good. Service was up there too. Can't say anything bad. We will be back ! We were close to 8 minutes late and they accommodated us. Nice view of the golf course. Just as good as I remember it 7-8 years ago. Wonder if Jesse is still there. He wouldn't remember me. But I'll never forget what he did with my family at Roy's! Keep it up regardless. read more

Best food we had in Maui was here. Butter fish, sea bass, and short ribs were excellent. Christian was the best. Highly recommend!!!

One star deduction for their website menu prices not matching what they are currently charging. We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Roy's after a recommendation from a friend and checking their menu online. We had reservations yet it took a few minutes before we were seated. While waiting at the hostess desk we noted that the noise level was quite high and the restaurant had a casual dining ambiance. On looking at the menu I noticed that the prices were higher than what I had seen online just an hour earlier. My dish was $6 more and my husband's was $7 more. Our fish dishes were delicious. Normally when we eat out we can only eat half our plates and take the rest to eat later. The portion sizes were moderate with nothing left for later. We split a dessert. I know prices on Maui are really high, but we were shocked that our total for just one entrée each and the split dessert, no appetizers, no drinks, came to $175 after taxes and tip. That left a bad taste for the rest of our visit to the island. read more

Pricey restaurant with a casual vibe--definitely no need to dress up if you don't want to. I came for late afternoon dinner with my almost-3-year-old. She had to order a Keiki meal --$18, so not cheap. But you get an appetizer of quesadilla and celery and carrot dip before your main course (we ordered the hibachi salmon which was cooked the perfect amount--not overcooked but also not undercooked for the kiddo). And then you get a vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles, which my daughter was very very excited about. I ordered the misoyaki butterfish and the fish itself was excellent. So tender and melts in your mouth. The accoutrements were good but not impressive. For the price, I would expect more fine dining plating and finely prepared sides. Service was great. Overall it was good, but I'm not super amazed by it considering the $$$ prices. read more

Roy's Kaanapali served us hostility masked by politeness. Arriving 15 minutes early for our reservation, we found the waiting area sparse but adequate for us all to sit once another party was seated. The restroom was clean and stocked. However, the hostess--a dismissive blonde woman with a bun--tried seating us, including our minor children, in the bar. When we requested another table, she curtly insisted none were available by the window. After clarifying that we hadn't requested one by a window, she led us to a table near the kitchen--a few feet from a four-top table by the window sitting empty. That set the tone for the night. Service remained unwelcoming and rude. Our waiter, Michael, was mostly absent and brusque when present, cutting us off mid-sentence. Only one server, Sarah, showed any warmth and responded to us when we requested something. The food was mostly good but flawed. The mai tais came garnished with limes that were brown. My husband enjoyed his steak, though they were out of the lobster tail he wanted to add to it. My grilled au and shrimp duo arrived lukewarm, the fish dried out. Our daughter found her honey mustard short rib just "okay," while our son's ribeye was well-prepared but the plate presentation was clunky and lazy. The calamari was a hit, but the Caesar salad wasn't worth the price, nor was the beet salad, which seemed to feature canned, diced beets. Service was slow--our entrées took over 20 minutes. Empty dishes and glasses gathered on the table because Michael was too busy standing at the pass to bother checking on us. In the open kitchen, cooks lacked proper equipment like a salamander, resorting to makeshift methods like holding food up to the broiler, leading to unevenly/improperly cooked dishes like my au. The final straw? Watching a party of two get seated at the once "unavailable" window table. We paid over $400 for average food and inhospitable service, spending the meal pointing out disparities in how we were treated. Lesson learned: we won't return and I don't recommend it. read more

So I made this reservation on March 1st. The open table app had an 8 pm choice. We took that one. I assumed this restaurant was open later than that but we found out I assumed wrong. That is on me. I was texted to confirm our reservation the day before. Which I confirmed. Then the night we are all getting ready to go I get a text telling me my table is ready 45 minutes before my reservation. What??? Am I late??? Am now going to lose my table because I am not down there? I checked my reservation. 8 pm. But by this time I am so pissed at this we almost cancelled. I have never had this happen to me ever. Do you think I am hanging out down outside your restaurant an hour early? Maybe change your wording. Maybe we can accommodate an early arrival if wanted. Sorry to say this ruined my evening. So the food was a formality. I think we had coconut shrimp appetizer. Which was good. Blackened shrimp which was good. Crusted Sea Bass was liked. Had the cheesecake at the end. Was told we need to order the creme brulee 20 minutes early. So that was out. I would never go to this place at the end of the night. Go early if you go. And it was overpriced IMO but this is Hawaii. So.... read more

My expectations were truly met when we came here for dinner. We'd never been here in the past because I thought it might be too expensive. Well I'm older now with more disposable income so why not. The restaurant shares the building with the golf course club. I appreciated the free parking. The restaurant is very spacious, clean, and modern inside. The server Michael from Florida was super friendly. My wife liked her Chablis wine and my Hawaiian margarita was very refreshing. The ahi tuna and Caesar salad were excellent appetizers. My wife didn't love her Au fish. My son and I ate up the blackened red snapper which was perfectly prepared. Oh and the complimentary mango and coconut sorbet dessert was the perfect ending to a lovely dinner experience. read more
