Pioneer Inn

Great 1 or 2 night stay. You are walking distance to everything. The pool is calming and a place to cool down in the afternoon heat. The front office staff was one of the best parts. Very friendly. Small rooms but has all the vintage charm of 1902. Not luxury but calm and peaceful. I love historic hotels.

Cute, perfectly located historic hotel. Mark, the veteran front desk manager, is incredibly kind and spreads positive vibes. We came here after staying at a top five-star luxury hotel and loved it. Check-in was so easy. Parking was right across the street. So many food options within a block. Rooms are more antique due to it being a historic hotel, but the bathroom is renovated with a "marble" design.

Overall, a disappointing experience. We arrived to Lahaina exhausted after some trip troubles. It was very crowded, and it wasn't clear even what side of the hotel the entrance was on (most of the lower level are actually shops -- heads up, it's the water side)). After driving around for a bit, we gave up and paid for 2 days of parking at a nearby parking lot and walked back to the hotel, only to be CHASTISED by the evening shift front desk lady about 'why didn't you just use the "Active Harbor loading zone" to unload our luggage. We let her know that that appeared to be for boats/the harbor, but she insisted it was for the hotel and then questioned us on 'why you would pay for parking, when the hotel was going to cover it'. I let her know I was never notified that parking was covered by the hotel -- (there was nothing in the emails/notifications post-reservation that parking would be covered), but she just shook her head at me. When we finally got to our room, the disappointment continued. It was clean, but fairly cramped. The lanai is shared with neighboring rooms, and the walls are thin and poorly insulated around the door/A/C (so, not good rooms for a romantic evening). The bathroom is oddly arranged with shelves, so tall people be warned. It was a great location to food and activities though -- we were a 1min stroll from a variety of activities, including day/evening cruises. Otherwise though, wouldn't recommend.

This hotel is perfectly located near the warf and central to many restaurants and shops. The rooms are older, but very clean and well appointed. The pool was not crowded, the courtyard is charming. The highlight were the front desk staff. Mark, Samantha, Kylie, and Pat are are incredibly friendly and willing to accommodate you any way they can. Check in/out was effortless Look forward to coming back

Really great service from the staff. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. The rooms are modest but well appointed, the lanais are perfect and you absolutely cannot beat the location for walkability! If resorts are not your thing then this is definitely the place to go (i.e. no screaming children). It's got what you need, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, coffee, and it's close to so many great restaurants and shops. They do apparently have an excellent chef in the restaurant but we didn't have a chance to eat there, though it smelled good and was always busy. Maybe next time we'll stop in!

What a beautiful historic Inn! We checked in for our 5 nights stay here during our visit to Maui and we were so graciously welcomed by Kiley. She explained the parking process to us (yes they do offer free parking!) and also all the hotel amenities and went over the map of the hotel as well as nearby restaurants and shops. Everyone at the front desk is so friendly and welcoming. The room comes with a lanai (a balcony) with two rocking chairs and a table. Rooms are clean and decent sized. They also offer room service upon request. The hotel is so conveniently located on Front Street that you can pretty much walk to most restaurants and beaches around. Their courtyard is just so dreamy and they also have an in-house talking parrot named Alex. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in West Maui on their trip.

Located right in the heart of downtown Lahaina this Hotel is truly a historical piece of Maui history. The upgraded rooms were clean, ACs work great and got the job done for a comfortable stay. The pool was clean and inviting. They provide local parking and once here there is plenty of shops and restaurants to walk to. The strip is quite busy with people and vehicle traffic providing lots of people watching from our lanai (porch). It can be a bit loud for those looking to sleep in but for the early birds its perfect. Convenience stores right downstairs to fill your snack and beverage needs. Bar and restaurant located on property. Decently priced we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this for those looking to be right in the mix.

Fantastic historical hotel for those that like boutique style stays. Super comfy beds. Right next to the banyan tree. Delicious restaurant downstairs. The pool is a bit cold but we preferred the beach a few blocks away. Our favorite was the lanai with rocking chairs. We traveled with our son and the fold out mini bed worked just fine. Great AC too ad nice bathroom. We loved it.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. Stopped n and ordered a double smash burger and an ice cold draft. The smash burger was excellent and hit the spit. Very tasty juicy burger with sufficient dressings that helped emphasize the flavor of the meat! It was delicious. This meat created by the most natural vegetarian processor that only consumes pure and healthy plant products that in turn are subsequently processed after about 18 months into the most perfect and wonderful meat product! It is smashed on the grill fried to perfection. Then put on a great soft locally made bun with essential condiments. I highly recommend this place and woul stop in again.

We went for brunch at the Pioneer Inn upon the recommendation of my sister. She stated that they had the best Mai Tai she had ever sipped. I must agree. The mai tai had a more coconut flavor than the usual pineapple flavor. It was definitely the best mai tai that I had during my entire two week Maui vacation. From the breakfast menu, I ordered their French omelette with greens. The plate was a work of art! The omelette was light and airy, and the vinaigrette on the greens was delicious. I would not say that the restaurant provided a leisurely ambience. I would say that the service was quick and efficient. Our food came very quickly... Perhaps a little more quickly than I would have wanted, as I would have liked to have more time to sip my mai tai before the food arrived. All that being said, I would highly recommend this restaurant. I believe that it is a hidden gem within the morass of the touristy shops and other more apparent restaurants in old Lahaina.

Hands down the absolute best breakfast on Maui! Chef Lee Anne Wong's unique recipes will wow you with their flavor and presentation, her hollandaise is phenomenal, everything we've ordered here has been outstanding, the food was matched with our amazing server Rachel, she made a terrific breakfast even better with her attentive service and warm personality! Thank you Lee Anne and Rachel , we can't wait to eat here again!

Nice place for a quick bite to eat. Kids enjoyed pancakes. Alex was super accommodating!!

Good breakfast. Waiter was very good. We arrived early so no waiting. Good table with view of harbor and sea breeze. All the entrees were good but nothing to rave about.

Post pandemic visit was a disappointment. For decades went there for Mahi Mahi fish and chips and great Hawaiian drinks for late lunch . Was always good Not now Menu now too millennial. Drinks were poor adaptation of Mai Tai and Blue Hawaii. Menu too eclectic. As with most all food service in Hawaii, insanely expensive. Ambiance ain't what it used to be, but staff was friendly

Lahaina town has been waiting patiently for some innovative, next level breakfast dishes and these delivered beyond measure. I had the Health Bowl which featured an incredible pineapple-gochujang sauce, roasted carrots, local mushrooms, seaweed, housemaid kimchi & organic egg over a bed of rice. I would eat these carrots every day of my life given the chance. My boyfriend had the Lechon Bowl and hasn't stopped raving about each and every component of it for the last 90 minutes. The pork was crisped to perfection and served with the most wonderful flavors as sidekicks: over easy organic eggs, crispy onion, fresh ginger, red pepper relish, pickled cabbage, kimchi, cilantro, microgreens. Each and every bite featured a new combination of amazing flavor - whether it was a hit of vinegar coming forward or the salty goodness of the lechon. We are thrilled to have this in town and looking forward to becoming regulars!

What can I say about this place hmm . I've been coming to Maui for 25 years now. This place had the local feel that I really enjoyed, Couple years back they change ownership and let's be honest they suck now we just went there again just to give them another shot they are closed at 2pm it's 10 minutes to 2pm and they wave us off in the rudest way you could imagine !! fuck you never coming back and I'll be writing a bad review weekly since I live here now Mahala

This was one of our favorite spots on Maui and in Lahaina. We rushed in one evening, completely drenched from head to toe, after our sunset sail with Sail Maui looking for a couple of cocktails. It is located right across from the dock in Lahaina Harbor and has a very open floor plan. This place had normal bar prices, I think our cocktails were $7.50 each and they did not stiff us on the pour either. The bartender was really nice and chatted with us a bit. We came back the next day before our sail to Lana'i for a quick bite and a beer. I just ordered an English muffin with some papaya and a Coors lite but man was it satisfying. We'll absolutely be back!

Again, a stop in place. On our way for a sunset dinner cruise at the harbor. Mai Tai time baby. At the time self seating. Found a spot to people view. Server was on spot and brought two not so bad Mai Tai's. Been here for cocktails before. Would I come back ..YES Bon Voyage

We went for a quick breakfast before our whale watching trip. The original waitress was all over the place so the bartender ended up taking care of our table. We needed to be quick since our boat was going to leave. They were able to get most of our order correct and out so we could eat. The best part of this place is the talking parrot out front. That's entertainment.

As a visitor, we liked the The Pioneer Inn Bar and Grill. Since we are still on East Coast time, the clock says 10 A.M. but our bodies are saying 4 P.M.! We've been up since 5 A.M. and walking in the heat since 6:30 so don't judge!! The bartender filled us in on the history of The Pioneer (built in 1901 and is the oldest bar in the state) and the locals at the bar chimed right into the conversation. The Pioneer was a perfect mid-morning break to (de)hydrate.

Amazing and everyone should hit this place up! Totally redone menu from the last time I was there and the macadamia nut pancakes are always a go to. The "new" additions were also solid and the entire family enjoyed the meal. We will be back!

Beautiful place to enjoy happy hour and watch the harbor in Lahaina. We went there before going on a dinner cruise. I fell in love with the parrot that is kept on the porch. Him and I had a great conversation. Very intelligent. I think he loves women because he whistles at them ad they walk by. Maybe that is why I had a great conversation with him and he didn't pay no mind to my husband lol. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Late post We were able to visit this place when on Maui after Lahaina was shutdown due to a fire and Hurricane issues. Much respect to the staff for opening and serving customers with a limited menu. Friendly, efficient staff and clean menus. We had the fish and chips but, failed to take a pic...trust me, it was good, looked good and tasted good!!!! We also had POG mimosas which were cold and refreshing. Stop by Pioneer Inn and Grill when on Maui. I gave three stars because I'm going to visit again so I can try full menu and update my review with more stars.

Awesome restaurant very pleasant employees they make it to where I wanna come back and try more items on the menu Thank you for your professional service greeted with aloha. Made us feel at home. Will definitely tell all my friends and family. 5 star rating

Went there after our whale watching excursion today. Was great sunny day so we went for lunch/ breakfast. Young lady on her first day as waitress told us it was her first day. That's cool. No problem. We all have to start one day. We order the food and as we order she tells up the bill will be $32 ... I shrugged my shoulders and said ok that's fine - we found it very odd for a waitress to say that in the first place. - a burger for me and eggs/bacon and potatoes for my wife. That's fair. She later brings the bill and it's over $56; and was charged $30 for 2 egg breakfast. So we ask her what's the scoop , she said I told you it was going to be $32. We said no you told us the total bill was gonna be $32. Anyway she was rude and didn't own up to her mistake and doubled down to say. " Hey I come from Maui I know how much it costs for breakfast. ". Wow. Quite the attitude for a first day. Tip was a BIG Zero.

We decided to eat here because it was close by, we should have kept on walking. The food was pretty mediocre. There were 3 of us dining we ordered the Lahaina salad , the fIsh and chips and the linguini, all meals were barely half eaten. The service was also mediocre..... we would not recommend or return to this restaurant.

Not sure why the ratings are so low, but we had a terrific brunch here. Highly recommend the fish breakfast with grilled fresh fish (perfectly prepared and very fresh, yummy sauce served with it), fluffy scrambled eggs, rice and your choice of side (we went for the green salad - good dressing, excellent choice). POG mimosas rounded it out. Friendly service, great view of the ocean, all around pleasant experience. Recommended.

This is a great historic bar in the happening center of Lahaina. The reason for the 4 stars (as it doesn't look like much at first glance) is a combination of good food reasonably priced in comparison to other places (wings for $8) and other general bar food, great staff, live music and a terrific happy hour! Locals fill it and we were told they're known for their parm encrusted Mahi Mahi and their prime rib. Happy hour lasts from 2 or 3 til 6pm. $3 well drinks tall and short or $4 Mai Tai's that will knock your socks off! They are full of rum and the mixed juices they use are a great compliment. There is live music in the evening and great views of the harbor, cruise ships and it's right across from the courthouse and famous Banyan Tree (3rd largest in the world, planted 1853, measures a 1/4 mile circumference and 60' tall. This place is a hidden gem.

No wait so that was good- i tried the omelet with spinach, cheese, bacon and sausage- i don't know if i had too many toppings or what but it was a little runny and may have made me sick. The homestyle potatoes were good and that says a lot because not every body can make them (in my opinion) without them still being undercooked. I also got the macadamia nut pancakes and the coconut cream used to top it off- AMAZING! I wish i had the recipe so i could use it all the time! I wouldn't mind going again - i just wouldn't get the omelet/eggs again.

Someone told us we had to see the Banyan tree in the Lahaina town center while we were in Maui. That happened to be very close to the Pioneer Inn so we decided to stop in for lunch after our visit to the Banyan tree. Of course fresh fish is abundant in this area and I love fish tacos so this is the moment I decide that's all I am eating for lunch on our trip. This is the first one I tried and, while not the worst, it was not the best either. Fresh, grilled Ono on corn tortillas with pico de gallo and some sort of aioli. Pretty hard to mess up... and they didn't. Good, but not great. There was a side of salsa that I swear was straight from a bottle of Pace. I ordered a side of pineapple slaw as well which was OK, but I probably could have done without, especially since it was $4.50. Wife had the Hawaiian pineapple fried rice bowl with grilled chicken. She didn't say too much but couldn't finish it. Again, good, not great. I had a beer and she had an iced tea, so I can't comment on the cocktails. We didn't have any service issues. It's in a touristy area so set your expectations accordingly. It is a nice place to sit harborside and enjoy the view. Sounds like the breakfast is pretty popular. There are so many places in this area to choose from. We'd probably look a little further if we're ever back in the area.

Watch out for the bird. Alex starts out cool - whistles and clicks every now and then, but then turns around and does this annoying screeching sound that makes you want to get up and move to the far end of the restaurant. Mahi maxi eggs benedict, the portuguese sausage and the country home fries are awesome. Service is a bit slow but the food makes up for it.

I used to come to this place for a fast, fun, convenient location for simple fare and relatively inexpensive...not anymore. I tried to have my macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup...now it's a $20 plate of pancakes...with Likikoi foam. Terrible...jumped the shark here...never going back. Jacked up prices and ruined the charm...and they banished the bird to a lonely courtyard.

We were shopping in Lahaina and wanted a waterfront restaurant to have some drinks and appetizers. Andre who sat us and was our server wasn't very pleasant. He walked fast, sat us and walked away without a word. We had to ask for a drink menu, which he eventually brought us. The drinks were alright but the appetizers were bland. The seared Ahi tuna was so dry, it seemed as if it had been cooked the day prior. The ceviche was much too salty and also didn't taste fresh. A couple of elderly women walked in and he sat them in his section. They politely asked if they could sit at one of the many empty tables with a water view. He responded "I am supposed to sit you here, but then grabbed their menus and stomped to one of the requested tables, too fast for them to keep up. He slammed their menus down and stomped away. We were thinking of trying a couple more drinks but Andre didn't ask us. Won't return.

This is a small restaurant and bar located in a Best Western inn right on the water. Had a fairly limited menu overall but we saw a few things we liked and decided to give it a try. Very glad we did. Dom was our server. He was excellent and attentive throughout the meal. Very nice guy who obviously enjoyed what he does. I got the fish and chips which were quite good. Large portion and pleased that the fish was firm enough to withstand the malt vinegar that I like. Often these will fall apart when dipping. I think they said the fish was opa (?) but it was really good. The slaw and fries were solid and the portion size was excellent. My wife got the grilled fish sandwich which was mahi mahi that day. The portion size was huge and the fish was grilled excellent with excellent flavor. Don't be fooled by the basic hotel restaurant appearance. This is really a nice location with great food and service.

The mai tais here are as bad as the service. We ordered a round while we waited for an activity cruise to kick off. The old waitress must've been really bored to find such needless joy directing you to the bathroom knowing well enough you need a key from her. Her wrinkled smirk...such petty and needless behavior. She is more sour then the sour mix. The band was the only thing I'd think was remotely worth a visit for :)

Consistently excellent food! Creative menu without being pretentious, the food is fresh and delicious!

This is a bar with food. We just had drinks...a Margarita for me and Mojito for mi esposa. The best part is that we got to sit next the parrot who kept whistling at the people going by and calling out to them. This place is on Front Street, just up from the whale cruises. I liked it.

Of course this is a great location and we had the primo table in an open window facing the harbor but this review is about the food and service and not our good fortune. Waiter not exactly surly but close it didn't help that his co-workers did exactly nothing no matter how busy he got but it was very slow most of the time. I had the simple burger made with local Maui Cattle Co beef which is excellent My wife had the mahi fish and chips Way, way too much breading and would strongly suggest against ordering this. If you can get a great table on the harbor with a nice sea breeze then by all means grab it.......just don't order the fish and chips

My wife and I ate here last Friday evening, they were offering a four course prix fixe dinner with a choice of entree- a heritage pork katsu or a tomato broth ramen. There were approximately 20 tables with everyone being seated by 6:00 with good "social distancing" in the outdoor courtyard. The reason for the low rating is the ridiculously slow service, certainly caused by poor planning and execution in the kitchen. We were seated just before six and ordered a cocktail. The first course, a cold appetizer, did not arrive until 7:00, over one hour after we were seated (everyone was served within five minutes). The second course, a warm appetizer, showed up after another hour (8:00). And, it was luke-warm, which is certainly not ideal for a vegetable tempura. The entree was served at 8:40, about 30 minutes after we finished our appetizer. The pork katsu was overcooked and the ramen was mushy. As it was now 9:00, we asked for our bill and our dessert "to go", not wanting to wait another 30+ minutes to be served. After 15 minutes we had still not received the dessert, so we just stood up and left. Never again. BTW- this restaurant is known for their brunch, and I would recommend it!

Before our trip we were told we had to come here, so I made reservation a couple weeks before arriving. Once we were here and it was time for our reservation we were promptly sat in the outdoor garden area. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 egg Benedict's, 2 ribeye steak and eggs, the Mac nut pancakes and four bloody Mary's. Everything was delicious and cooked perfect, absolutely no complaints from our group. I hate pancakes and sweet stuff but those Mac nut pancakes with the coconut cream was my favorite thing on the table. Was a little nervous reading some of the bad reviews but so far it was my favorite meal on this trip. Will definitely return if I come back to Lahaina

This place is not just a convenient spot for guests of the Inn; its a nice little breakfast- lunch - dinner option, particularly if youre tired of the unholy mess that is Front Street. Breakfast: Hawaiian French toast (thick, brioche- like Hawaiian bread) dipped in egg and spices, and served with maple and coconut syrup. I'm gonna be jones-ing for those when I get back home. The pancakes are unusually tender and delicious even if , as our gem of a waitress, Marie says "they're from a mix". Better than the ones at the dearly departed Sallys on Harlem, by a mile. Lunch; burger made with Maui Angus , totally legit. Dinner: fresh fish of the day, plus fish and chips, and prime rib. Add an Old Fashioned, and you're in Door County. If Door County was 85 degrees, on the ocean, with beautiful tanned women and a grey parrot outside. This place is frequented by (rather loud) locals who wouldn't be caught dead at Bubba Gump or Cheeseburger in Paradise. My only gripe is that the drinks were a tad weak. But again, at least you're not at Bubba Gump.

I've been here before without a problem, but for some reason this whole experience was terrible. It took some time to get our order. We sat down with a few other parties behind us and they got served before we did. A half hour goes by with no attention to the table or an acknowledged statement that they were having a problem with our order. I needed to go to the bath room and every time I would ask a waitress I would be bypasses which I had to go to the bartender to ask , whom was not friendly. Customer service plays a huge role in any business, I'm sure everyone there are probably present people, maybe I caught them on an off day... however, If it wasn't for the view, I would have gave them a negative star.

Business lunch took place at this beautiful establishment! Have you been here? So it's "kind of" off the beaten path a bit... maybe more for peeps who live in town I guess. I spent the morning in Lahaina and made plans to check this gem out. Here's what I thought: Parking can be a little tough, but I planned on staying in town for awhile so I grabbed a spot at the dirt lot a few blocks away and walked. Location. It isn't located on busy Front Street, but tucked just down the street and offers fabulous views of the water, boats and the hustle and bustle of Lahaina. Really great spot to people watch. Food. I ordered a glass of water and the Spinach & strawberry salad. Boring I know, but hey, it was a hot one out there. It was tasty. The ingredients were fresh and it was presented well. I wished that there were more nuts on top for some added crunch, but overall, it was good. Service was okay. The host who sat me didn't seem thrilled to have me there. (Not that *I* am exciting or anything. Haha!) But he seemed kind of bored and definitely not very happy. My server was nice, but as soon as my lunch was done, she cleaned it up and suggested that I move to the bar--as I had some paper work out. I get it, I was a server back in the day. Turnover is everything, however, the place was FAR from empty and it just felt a little awkward--and unwelcoming. The view is awesome. I'm pretty sure I had the best seat in the house. If you've been, you know of the talking parrot. And if you haven't: there is a talking parrot in a big cage. I was sitting right next to him and I'm pretty sure he was hitting on me? Cat calling, whistling, trying to get me to give him food. It was really funny. I had nice shade and the view of the Pacific was just a head turn away. The plants and the breeze made the experience just lovely. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. I just wished that it wouldn't have felt like it was time for me to move on--even though I did need to get moving.

Had breakfast here 3 of 5 days, so what does that tell you? We sampled pancakes, Los and bagels, juice, and coffee. All were very good to excellent, service was good, and prices surprisingly affordable. Good views of both the ocean and park next door.

I get French toast at every brunch I try. And no exaggeration, this is the best I've ever had. It's basically a dessert, and it's absolutely incredible

BREAKFAST I will admit that my experience at Pioneer Inn was better than I expected. The food tasted good, the prices were reasonable, 15% discount off of all food and non-alcohol drinks with Hawaii state ID, the service was great, and I even enjoyed listening to their pet parrot. I was torn between the Mahi Mahi and the Smoked Salmon Benedict, and my waitress suggested the Mahi Mahi. Not only did it taste good, but the amount of meat was generous. Their bloody marys also were some of the best on island. Breakfast hours are 7 am until 11:30 am. However, they do give a verbal disclaimer that sometimes breakfast wraps up by 11:15. They do accept credit cards, but a minor inconvenience they do not accept Discover. Karlotta was our server, she was quite personable, and said she has worked there for 15 years now.

This place has the best macadamia pancakes pancakes. We always come when we visit Maui. I would highly recommend you come try them with coconut syrup.

Not the Pioneer Inn I remember. The recent breakfast menu changes have raised prices by 50% and modified old favorites beyond recognition; notably the French toast and the macadamia nut pancakes. The Mac nut pancakes are gone and the French toast replaced by a single slice of thick bread with a crusty carmelized outer layer coating a custard-like mass of egg soaked bread on the inside. Price? $12.00. This is management's update of the delicious sweet bread French toast previously offered for $8.50. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pioneer Inn so I'm stunned that the current restaurant management is so poorly handling this historic institution and is capable of such poor menu choices and pricing changes. Fix it now before it becomes too late to recover.

Off the beaten path, but not too far! Walking around Front Street, trying to find somewhere to eat, all we were finding, was long waits! As we were walking and looking for somewhere to eat we stopped to take some pictures of the banyan tree. We could hear someone singing, and we noticed the singing was coming from a building on the corner. To our surprise, and delight it was a restaurant. The Pioneer Grill. We walked up to a, seat yourself sign. So we picked a little table, close to the man who was singing. It was so nice and peaceful to listen to, as we decided what we wanted for dinner. There were lots of great choices, but I decided on the fish and chips, which by the way were made with Mahi Mahi. We also ordered the calamari appetizer. The food was great, and the prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere was comfortable, and reminded me of a restaurant out of an old movie. I bet if the walls could talk, they'd have a lot of history to share. The addition of the singer, who was singing traditional Hawaiian songs, was fantastic. Most of the restaurants on Front Street are always busy - and loud! All you can hear are other patrons. The Pioneer Grill is only a block off Front St. but seemed miles away. It was nice to sit and listen to the entertainment, and not a bunch of other people talking. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, casual restaurant, with great food options - give this place a try. I'm not sure if there is entertainment nightly, but it truly was a great!

Great breakfast and a lovely location. Love the talking parrot. The pancakes, omelet, and potatoes were fantastic.

We cannot say enough about how much we loved spending our time here. Especially with Joe at Happy Hour. The Mai Tai's are great but the service from Joe even better. Sometimes when you get there the cruise and sunset charters are all getting ready to board and the place is crazy busy but it's worth it to be patient and let the crowds get back to their boats. We can't wait to come back and share some more time at our favorite happy hour spot with Joe.

Didnt realize they were doing reservations although the wait wasnt too long. They had been hard hit with diners so slower than normal but my Macnut pancakes did not disappoint

Greatest naturally tasting food and friendly staff with a great view of the harbor and canal, with Lanai'i across. Alex, the African parrot, sings next door, and is an attraction himself.

Starving, we had our heart set to eat at the Cool Cat but parking is a challenge on Front street. We were lucky and parked very close to Pioneer Inn Grill and Bar instead came here for lunch. You seat yourself, the sign says so. I noticed lots of people don't read signs. This place is super casual and has a beautiful view of Lahaina Harbor. This place was not to busy even though there were lots of people walking all over the place. Me and my partner ate some calamari, these were okay. I thought it would be the calamari rings but these were like fat nuggets. The sweet chile sauce that came with it was tasty. The fish and chips was delightful, 3 big fat pieces of fish and a bit bread-y but no worries I took some of that off. The cute African grey parrot entertained us and whistled a few tunes. Will definitely come back here for the quick service and laid back vibes.

Great little breakfast stop. Nice location right across from the water. I ordered the Mac Nut pancakes and my wife got the Hawaiian Sweetbread French Toast. Both delicious. Huge portions. Coconut syrup was a nice change. Good coffee. Alex was quite entertaining.

I used to come here for Alex, an extremely beautiful African Grey bird. The food is pretty good but nothing to write home about. We used to come here almost every morning or afternoon for about a week straight every time we'd visit the island (twice a year). I read from another yelper that they have relocated Alex to their empty courtyard as they've hired a new chef who doesn't like Alex. Sounds like this new chef isn't a good fit for your restaurant. Shame on you for moving such a magnificent and social creature to live his life in solitaire all because a new hire. My family and I will no longer be returning to your establishment. If you're not going to take care of Alex properly, rehome him to someone who will. Also, maybe get a better "new" chef who will bring a spark to the menu if you're going to keep Alex away.

We came in for breakfast Saturday 6/23/18 on my friends birthday. We had just finished early morning parasailing and wanted a quick bite. The environment is very cute with an old time country feel. Our experience was quickly off to a bad start with our interaction with the hostess, my friend who's birthday it was (she's in her late 20s) loves to color and asked for a kids coloring page, the hostess rolled her eyes pulled it out and put it with the pale of crayons on the stand for my friend to pick up (rather than hand to her) she quickly turned took us to our table put the menus down with slight more force making it feel unpleasant and walked away without saying anything. Our reaction to each other was "ouch, she doesn't seem happy to be at work". The prices are very affordable, especially for its prime location. We all three got eggs Benedict, 2 mahi one veggie, and potatoes. The mahi Benedict is an awesome price and was well made. Potatoes tasted like French fries and as if it were frozen from a bag. They were delicious if you're wanting a French fry taste, but not so if you're expecting breakfast potatoes. The server gave good suggestions, i didn't catch his name. My Bloody Mary tasted good. Stars docked off for the hostesses hostility, and the breakfast potatoes. I'd give it a 3 1/2 star.
