Farm-fresh American eats, handmade baked goods, and divine pies
"Blink and you’ll miss this eatery at the midway point of the seaside Honoapi‘ilani Highway. The kitchen, open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., puts extra consideration into American standards, like Reuben sandwiches with house-made sauerkraut, hot dogs with poha berry mustard and pineapple chutney, and a crisp salad topped with charred Brussels sprouts. But it’s the individual pies — flaky of crust and generous of filling — that make Leoda’s worth pulling off the road for. It’s hard to pick a favorite among the flavors that Know before you go: Bring an insulated bag (or buy one onsite) to take extra pies home." - Shannon Wianecki

"The menu at this counter-service spot with farmstand vibes is simple: sandwiches and pies. But that doesn’t mean your decisions will be easy. The sandwiches may sound ordinary, but are served between thick-cut, fresh bread—rye, wheat, or white—baked by Maui Bread Company, and are pared down perfectly so the essentials shine, like a reuben with corned beef and housemade sauerkraut and thousand island, or the sashimi-grade seared ahi tuna. Non-negotiable are two dessert pies: banana cream, equal parts custard and thick whipped cream, and the lime pie, a pudding cup lined with graham cracker crumbs. There’s pretty much always a line out the door—skip it by ordering online in advance." - martha cheng
