Dbl smash Burger
Mitzi C.

We had coupons for 2 free dbl smash burgers and 2 Med cherry limeades. So hell, why not give it a go. Not at all what I thought it was going to be. Drinks were good. Really sweet, but still refreshing. Almost like a Shirley temple. Burgers were just awful. As you can see in the picture, the bun was smooshed, everything was just kinda thrown on. Couldn't finish it. Something tasted off. We waited approximately 10 min at the window before we got our not so fast for fast food.

Sonic Hawaii
James M.

Got to try Sonic Drive In while in Maui and it was good to try something different. I ordered the chicken wrap & bacon cheese burger and both were good for fast food. I liked the wrap, it was just enough food & the flavor was good. The burger was small & simple & I was ok with that. I ordered on the drive in board and it was pretty easy. After about 15 minutes the food showed up & the server was very nice. I didn't want to eat in the car so they have a few chairs & tables you can sit at. Overall it was a good experience, lots of good food options on Maui so not in a hurry to go back anytime soon. Go give them a chance and check it out.

Double Sonic Smasher was a mess!!
Sue S.

Sonic has really gone downhill. The double smash burger I got was just thrown into the box. Not much assembly nor care of presentation. There are always high school kids in and out of the restaurant which is concerning because none of them are working.

Outside lanai ordering monitor
Kristin C.

Ways to order: Drive thru. Drive into an available parking stall and order via the monitor, and wait in your car while your order is delivered to your car. There is also a lanai area, with a couple of monitors to place your order and wait in the lanai area for your order. Food was okay, lots of great milk shakes and desserts to select from.

Hair on Crispy Tenders (2) Kid's Meal

Found hair on my sons Crispy Tenders (2) Kid's Meal, today was their second day opening, there was no # to call since they're so new, and I'm not going back to wait in the long line again. I'll take the L, but just be aware yall. Burgers were good, everything else that was fried was soggy.

Get yourself a mango cream slushy, you won't regret it
Haley N.

We love a quick trip through the drive thru for a mango cream slush, I haven't had the chance to try their food over here yet but I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint seeing as they nailed our slushies! Easy to navigate to but if you do happen to miss the turn in, you need to make a full loop around to try again so just be on your guard. The building looks new and nice and we had no issues with the customer service or prices (especially for Hawaii). All in all, a good experience! TIPS & TRICKS: * Take a look at the menu to see if they offer any "happy hour" deals!

Menu

Not much selection unlike the mainland, I didn't like their hotdog I feel like you could get it at Costco for cheap. My other half does love the ice cream here so he does comes here often, my kids and I just get the fries . Service is nice, they bring your food to your car, it is a drive in and no table inside I don't even think you can go inside, but they do have a table outside too.

I can't quit this place. I just can't. Today I saw something cool though. The server was using roller skates.

Peanut butter milkshake
Melody P.

Great service! Delicious frozen treats and I love those crunchy tater tots. Only think this location never has is the long spoons. Lil spoons don't work well with a large blast

Sonic
Martha G.

Wanted drinks for our drive up the mountain. Tried to order on app and it's not available. They don't use it. Coke Zero available . Clean and user friendly area. You can eat in the outdoor dining area. Not sure about RR's as most sonic s don't have any available. Cups and staws are compostable . The cup lasted all of half a day and maybe not even that long...

Hot fudge sundae
Gina P.

Best hot fudge Sunday! Creamy ice cream, large portion, topped with whipped cream and cherry! Hit the spot! Great spot for those times you just need a treat

Pickle fries
Kenny C.

Everytime i goto maui i think about going to sonic and this one time i finally went. I think i been to one once in the mainland. I got the pickle fries - which were actually quite good and a strawberry smoothie thing. I think this would be a great place to stop in for a refreshing drink. One day i would like to try more of their food.

Not enough drive up spots ‍
Jamal C.

Aloha, I'm a foodie by nature. I'm always looking for a good hot dog. I decided to stop at Sonic's while hearing to the airport in Maui. It's really close to the airport. Less than 2 miles. That's really convenient especially if you're looking for cheap eats. The airport food is outrageously expensive. I pulled into Sonic's. It sits in the Safeway shopping center lot. It's a nice size building with stairs leading up. Not sure why. I'm use to Sonics having plenty of car hop stalls for folks to order. This location only has 6 and 1 ADA car hop. There's a walk up with a few patio tables. They also have a dual lane DT for convenience as well. The prices are really good compared to other restaurants. You can feed a family well and not break the bank. Well Done I didn't eat my Cheese coney Dog until I got through CLEAR and it was still warm. I am a happy camper. Next time I'll order more.

Food was very bad. I ordered the burger which did not have any taste to it. If I go there again it will be for the desserts.

I'd rather pay the same amount or even less probably for a plate lunch. Stale fries. Desserts are good.

Located in the Kihei Food Oasis, Burger Boys is a food truck known for their Wagyu smash burgers…read more We tried the: - Tropic Thunder Smashburger - Featuring Applewood smoked bacon, Panko crusted onion rings, pickles and more on a shokupan bread - The Deuce Deuce Smashburger - Comes with two Wagyu patties for double the taste - Sidewinder Fries - Beer battered spiral fries Both burgers were so flavorful and the patties were perfectly cooked - I ended up leaving with half a burger because it was a bit too hefty for me to finish in one go! 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 was going to order birthday lunch for a group of us at work (1/7/26) as I really like Faithful…read moreGrinds. It also would've been an introductory try for two people. 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".

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
