So I wanted to get something to eat before our plane ride home. Most of all the food options are fast food and I hate that. I saw Sammy's so we went over there. It's seat yourself. It was full and hard to find a seat. It has a full bar and dinning area. I finally got two seats at a high table with other people sitting at it to. You order online and they bring it to you. I tried to order but the link kept failing. A server finally came over and he took our order. I got the Kalua pork Loco Moco. I wasn't expecting much but it came out and it was a nice size. It tasted great and the wife liked it to. Great dish. So much better than the fast food option. read more

Food~ we got the burger and chili fries (decent). Chili was a bit sweet but everything else was decent. 3 star burger. Nachos were not good. The cilantro sauce on the nachos was pretty sweet and we did not like sweet nachos. There wasn't too much flavor as well. For the price, it's not worth it, but will keep you full if you're hungry at the airport There's a nice few from the window seats though read more

Appreciate that airport drinks and prices will be expensive, but $100 for 4 drinks is stupid. 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine. Cocktails were very average and small glass of wine was close to the price of a bottle of the same wine on the outside world. Nice views out the windows, but that was the only thing to recommend it. Left the establishment feeling like we'd had a poor experience that was massively overpriced compared to the actual experience. Unlikely to return. read more

Had some time to kill before getting on a long flight home so we decided to go and have an appetizer and a beverage. Service was amazing and friendly!! We chose to sit outside and there wasn't a burst of rain and our server asked if we wanted to move however we were fine since it was a quick storm passing. Had the pulled pork nachos and there wasn't plenty of food for 3 people. I know drinks are extra pricey at airports but if airports were to lower them just a tad I believe they would sell more. read more

The nachos were pretty good for my taste and the serving size was good for the price, especially considering it's in an airport. The service was good, too, fast and friendly. The decor is decent, clean and comfortable, but not a lot there to suggest a rock star owns it. It's great that Sammy supports the community with the profits. The music being played, however, was a disgrace to Sammy's rocking heritage. Except for one lowkey cowboy song, it was all bland versions of tepid songs done in the pseudo reggae style so common in Hawaii. There wasn't one second of music that remotely resembled rock or even rock and roll! The only thing rocking about this restaurant is the name of the chicken bites. Sammy, either amp up the music or stop pretending this is a rocking place to eat. Your restaurant competitor, Jimmy Buffet, rocks harder than this! read more

Sammy's (Sammy Hagar) inside the OGG airport. One of a few places to grab food. You place the order via a QR code and pay the same way- the service was good- the food however, was super slow to come out- it wasn't busy. The time is took for the food to come out really needs to be improved. The food- was good. It was hot, it tasted fresh. We were happy with our choices. Think Hard Rock, House of Blues style decor- Sammy Hagar memorabilia, a large tv screen displaying photos. read more

Found this place before our departure. Self seating. Sat at our table and reviewed the menu. 5 minutes passed. A waiter came by to ask us what we wanted to drink. Ordered water, and one adult beverage. Came back in minutes with our drinks. Ordered a x 2 loco mocos. Another 5 minutes passed and our loco mocos were served. Took a bite and it was delicous! Overeasy with Rice and gravy. Not dissapointed one bit. Actually one of the best loco mocos I have tasted in Maui. Who would of thought it would be at the airport! Lol If you want good loco moco with great customer service, this place is the right place for you. Yes its over $20 but if you are at the airport and you go to Burger King or McDonald's, it would be the same price. At least at Sammys, you get good quality food. Great place! I would come back if I have a stop over departure. read more

Nice restaurant for its location inside the airport and for how low key the vibe is. It is a solid place to spend some time waiting for a flight, especially if you want to have a few drinks and/or have kids who need to move around a bit before boarding. That said, this is not the spot if you are looking for great food. The menu is fine, but the food is pretty meh overall. It works well as a place to pass the time, not as a destination for a memorable meal. read more

I ordered the ono fish tacos. The fish was fresh and had good flavor, but the tacos were room temperature and served on a store bought type flour tortilla. Instead of cabbage, it eas served on greens. It was like a tiny grilled fish salad on a tortilla. The Mai tai had a weird flavor, and despite being a double, it was not very strong at all. The waitress was also a bit rude, but she did provide good service otherwise. read more

Stopped by Maui for the day for work and was lucky enough to catch lunch here before I left. I was feeling something "heavy" and "American". I went for their Sammy's Beach Burger and it was so delicious! The patty was flavorful and well-portioned. The sauce and multiple cheeses really added to the flavor profile. As always, the staff and management always show "aloha". This time around I took my food to-go, but there was plenty of seating and I appreciate the large windows providing natural lighting. You can find Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill near the main rotunda across Starbucks and their Food Court. I definitely appreciate eating american-styled food from Sammy's. It definitely hits the spot. I also frequently get their fish tacos. So 'ono! read more

Typical low level airport food. Lots of fried food. We were at the airport early and were looking for breakfast. First issue was someone needs to update their online hours. They open at 8 not 10. Very few breakfast choices on the menu. We opted for the French toast which I give 3-4 stars. The coffee the same with only coffee mate as creamer choice. Yuck. I had a side of bacon which was almost transparent. Thinnest I had ever seen. Give that a 0-1 stars. Overall the ratings are pretty accurate. Our waitress was very engaging and attentive. Sammy lends his name to this place but I bet he never eats here. read more

The food was pretty good, not the best I ever had but fair. The service was great.The ladies here are very nice. They even helped us manage to find food for my husband who has a lot of allergies. The area in space in here is pretty good.We founded a table quickly and they have a full bar. There was plenty of room at our table for us and all of our stuff. It was a great stop for our pre.Flight meal. read more

Walking in the place smelled great like a pizza but the aroma probably came from the little pizza shop nearby. It was lively inside and busy without being totally packed. Service was alright, not bad but not good either. Not feeling ultra hungry my husband and I split a Cuban sandwich meal. I think it could use some improvement. The kalua pork was a nice Hawaiian touch on the classic. But stone ground mustard and sweet pickles felt so wrong. We asked for yellow mustard, removed the sweet pickles and instantly the sandwich became more enjoyable. I can't say it was the best food but it wasn't bad. read more

Stopped for a snack before boarding. Ordered the Kicked-Up Fries. They were delicious and do not disappoint! I would recommend them. We ordered an espresso martini and a bloody Mary. The bloody Mary had a good kick to it and the espresso martini was very smooth. I'm not a big drinker and enjoy both of these. It's a seat yourself restaurant and we did not wait too long for service. The decorations were very lively with accent guitars everywhere. read more

Food was ok. Service was poor or non existent. Think I saw our server once when she took our order. Think they are very under staffed. Took forever to get our food. Not great read more

This place has the worst service I have ever encountered. My wife and I have walked out of here at least 3 times in the past. Primo location in the airport and that's all they offer. Sammy Hagar should be embarrassed putting his name on this place! Don't bother even gracing the doorway! If I could rate this negative 5 stars, I would! read more

Well... I guess I was warned? lol 2 stars because the room is nice and the staff was lovely. The girl offered to switch out my meal for something else when she saw how grossed out I looked. I declined, as I don't really like doing that and it was perfectly edible. I doubted anything else on the menu would be better, and it was still better than Burger King or California pizza king next door (maybe? lol). I did end up seeing another restaurant called Sting Rays that I didn't know was there down by Gate 28, and wished I'd gone there instead as their menu looked better with rice bowls and such. Sammy's has good vibes, nice staff and a full bar though, if you're just looking to grab a drink. I ordered the Kaluah Pork Tacos and for some reason all this water started pouring out of each one when I picked it up? And soaked the plate, chips etc? I wasn't squeezing it and really unsure where all the water came from? Maybe the pico? I'm not even exaggerating I tipped the taco and water poured out for a literal 15 seconds. I still ate it because I was hungry, and it's the airport without many options, but it's definitely the worst food I've had in Maui lol StingRays looked better and I'll try them next time instead. read more

Eat breakfast somewhere on the way to the airport, so you don't pay a fortune for terrible food. Greasy eggs, cold bread passing as toast, limp bacon, and flavorless potatoes, all for almost $20. Stop at Marco's in Kahului or treat yourself to 62 MarcKet in Wailuku. Service was polite, but doesn't make up for truly awful food. Complete waste of money. read more

Would you eat at Burger King, California Pizza or Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill at the Kahului airport? Had 3 hours to kill waiting for my sister to arrive from Oakland. Right next door to Burger King and California Pizza. The Burger King restaurant was packed, with no seating available on the premises, which overlapped California Pizza, which had nobody in line. We went to Sammy's, and the place was 90% empty. We ordered the most popular items on the menu, the $22 Sammy's beach burger with fries, and the $22 grilled Ono sandwich with $3 extra for a salad. Decent ambiance with wide open view of the airplanes at the gates and on the runways. Room to spread out for our four pieces of luggage. Service is good, as our orders arrived in a few minutes. The burger came with bacon, avocado spread, pico de gallo, feta cheese, and crispy onion. 8 oz of beef medium, could have used some zesty ketchup, as the additions were somewhat bland. Didn't care for the fries, as too dry and overcooked. The Ono sandwich came with two slabs of fish fillet on a bun, with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado spread. The glazed bbq sauce gave the frozen thawed ono fish some zip, as it otherwise had the taste and texture of chicken breast. World turned upside down. wife ordered the burger with fries, and I got the ono sandwich with salad. The salad was delicious with a tasty green goddess type dressing. I knew my wife wouldn't finish the burger nor the fries, so i got a good portion of hers. Least you think the $22 burger with fries is overpriced, next door Burger King whopper is $18.79 with a small drink and small fries, higher than the whopper meal in Zurich Switzerland, the most expensive city in Europe, and double the price in California. read more

It is important to note, this is not your standard restaurant with proper waiting staff. The concept is self-serve with waiters only coming by the drop food & drinks. Orders are placed via QR code at your table. The chili fries were yummy and the perfect snack to hold us over to our next flight. The Loco Moco was decent but the rice was unfortunately hard. Thankfully, the environment here is relaxed so it's a good place to wait during a layover and there's lots of outlets in the outdoor seating area. Would I come back to eat? Maybe, maybe not. Would I relax here with some beverages during a layover? Yes! read more

Food was just not good. Burger meat smelled ok-ish. I ate half and regretting it now that I'm on my flight. Service was meh due to ordering from table. Price was insane for the low quality of food.

I ordered the shrimp tacos. I was very surprised how good they were. The sauce was tasty and the two tortillas had plenty of shrimp. I sat by the window to watch the planes and see the beautiful mountains. The waitress was attentive. read more

The worst customer service I've had in a while. It's an airport so you can expect two things...to be overcharged and underwhelmed. That's pretty much a given. At Sammy's, simple add a terrible server as the cherry on top. There was plenty of seating when I arrived around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. I seated myself as per the sign near the entrance. After setting on wings a fries ($21 for the friend, $10 for the latter ), the food arrived pretty quickly. I had a long time before my flight so I was in no rush, like just about everyone else lame meandering at an airport on travel days. My server stopped by to tell me she would be leaving and that I would be taken care of by one of her coworkers. Okay, thanks. She same by again asking for my card because she was leaving. Like...didn't we just have this conversation less than 2 minutes okay? Cool, fine, here's the card. She comes by again telling me "you need to sign so I can leave" Girl...what? Why are you rushing me? How am I holding you up? The tip from this table is yours regardless. YOU said I was in someone else's hands. Plus, I was very much in the middle of something. It was so aggressive, disruptive, and rude. I don't want the karma of not tipping but good grief this situation would have merited me. Sammy's, your establishment is not at all good enough to treat people poorly and have bad service. Better training (and manners) for your staff please. read more

I thought we had left bad airport food and poor serivce in the rearview mirror. I would have been happier with Burger King which was next door. I thought this was a sit down place with full service. I walk in and there is a sign to seat yourself, the only problem is, the few tables that are available are dirty. We sit down and wait, we weren't acknolodged, about 10 minutes later, a japanese couple sits down at a dirty table next to us. Someone comes over to clean the table right away. I try to flag that person and he is clearly keeping his eyes down to avoid eye contact. When I flag him and nicely ask him if we can have our table cleaned, he waves me off and says "Yeah, yeah". Another adjactent table asks if we realize that nobody will take our order, we have to order it through the app. I thanked him and said that we realized but we didn't want to order until the table had been cleaned. We order and our food is slammed down on the table with nothing said - no silverware or untenils and again, I have to go chasing someone down. I ordered a medium burger and it was beyond well done. The table with the Japanese couple were offered a bunch of condiments including mayo, all II got was attitude! When I was asked how much I wanted to tip, I thought, I would have had more interaction at Burger King and with a lot less attitude and the food would have been better. read more

Let's see, you had a choice of Burger King or Sammy's, we opted for Sammy's so we could have a Bloody before our flight. The Bloody Mary's were very good and the fish tacos were just ok but like it's been said, it's 2 hours of killing time before our flight and the last I looked Bobby Flay wasn't in the kitchen cooking. We ordered food from our cell and servers by brought the food and drinks to us and she was really nice. As someone who used to travel for a living, I'd had much worse experiences in airports than Sammy's. read more

Had a couple of hours to kill before our flight home and chose Sammy's over BK and California Pizza Kitchen. They had some comfortable booths and plenty of space for your carry ons.

The salad was good, but the vinaigrette wasn't great. Overall still pretty good lunch definitely better than what you can get on the plane. read more

Better than I anticipated based on the reviews good quick service and solid hamburger. The burger was a bit expensive but you are in the airport so to be expected.

I wish I could give half stars because I would give Sammy's 3.5 stars. I was hungry before my return flight to HNL. QR code ordering expedited the experience. If you let them know you are about to catch a flight, they'll get your food out quick. I had the bacon cheeseburger which was decent for airport food. I was also hungry so inhaled my burger. They say hunger is the best spice in the world. My colleague got their chili bowl. I had a few bites and was impressed how good their chili was. Again, pleasant surprise from an airport joint. Our server was quick and efficient. read more

The food was mediocre. But the experience was horrendous, with the rudest staff. Three waitresses hovered near our table scream-talking at their highest octave discussing their baking recipe, completely Oblivious to our stares, or the fact that several other patrons sat down waiting to order. One person had to actually get up and interrupt their obnoxiously LOUD conversation and ask to order. It was shockingly rude. Would never dine here again Just based on the staff. read more

Bottom of the barrel, shilltastic food that can only be expected from an establishment named after a washed-up hair rocker. Ordered "nachos" and they were cold and covered with a weird cilantro "crema" with no proteins or anything special for $20. Place smells like a barroom floor and looks lime it hasn't been updated in ten years. Food was so bad I was tempted to ask for a refund. Bogus to infinity. read more

Aloha! Just made it from Bay Area! I'm hungry. The aftermath awesome view of the airplanes. Pretty good and average food for an airport bar and grill. Portion sizes were decent, and the seasoning was fair. The grilled shrimp taco and veggies were fresh. We didn't catch the attention of our waitstaff right away, so when we tried to use the website to order, we were unable to do so because our table had mistakenly not been enabled or something. So manual ordering was done. Once we finally got someone over to help us it was quick to submit the order and the food came out fairly quickly. I wouldn't try to eat here if you are in a hurry to catch your flight, especially since there are more customs checks after this point. The atmosphere is typical for an airport bar and grill. It wasn't bad, but wasn't anything special. read more
