Visited for lunch and had a great meal and great beers. Huge place with an indoor/outdoor seating with a great breeze so was very comfortable no matter where you sat. Service was prompt and was able to make my own beer flight. Several of the beers I wanted to try were out but all the ones I tasted were great. Food was very good with big portions. Would have liked a few more vegetarian options but the burgers were really good and huge! Family friendly and looks setup for great evening activities and large outdoor space. Definitely recommend and would return on a future visit.

5 stars because of the experience and the beers but the food was a little bland. Going for dinner the wait was long since we didn’t have a reservation and it’s a popular spot. We were able to sit in the tasting area and drink while waiting. Got a table outside which as the sun went down it was a good temperature and they opened the large garage doors. The food looked amazing but the hot fish sandwich wasn’t hot and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The fish tacos were the same way too. Enjoyed the dessert though and recommended getting some cheesecake cake. Would good again since it was a really nice brewery and to try other food.

We spent our last afternoon trying the happy hour here and it was very worth the time and money! The food specials are great, the drinks were delicious but what stood out the most was the quality of service. The food and drinks came out fast, the servers are attentive but leave you alone. The decor is beautiful and simple. If you’re looking for a good happy hour, it’s here!

Location is a bit out of the way, but great atmosphere. A lot bigger than I thought it would be. Bar area is huge! Heard it can be hard to get a table at night, so make a plan and grab a reservation! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Love the indoor/outdoor vibe. Gotta try and make it back before I leave.

Great happy hour specials but, if you go for happy hour and don’t have a reservation, expect to be in full sun. And if you’re not in the sun, wait 10 minutes and you probably will be. There is a bar area so if you are coming without kids, you should be ok. And the indoor area stays out of the sun but I assume it is for reservations only. We asked for shade and the shade disappeared so quickly, we became so uncomfortable in the sun that we wrapped up our food and left. If you know you’re coming, try to reserve ahead of time. We tried to reserve but I assume we were too late to get a reservation as it wouldn’t work for us. The indoor seating is limited; there is quite a lot of outdoor seating. If you make it, I strongly recommend the Huli huli chicken. It was amazing! Also, the pizzas were good. The guacamole was under seasoned and a bit bland. The beer was mild and nothing I needed to go back for but decent. The mojito was fine but not worth the price. The food came very fast! That sounds a bit negative, but the chicken was so good that we came here twice! And you can’t beat the happy hour prices!

My favorite spot in Maui! Great beer, awesome atmosphere, and delicious food. Everything I had was amazing and would have again. They have an outdoor area for cornhole, relaxed seating. To get food we had to sit on the patio where table service was though. Live music.

We had a lovely time at Maui Brewing Co. Our guide George gave an entertaining and in depth tour of the brewing process. We walked away with a few new favorite beers! The restaurant was great service and food, definitely put this on your list for visiting!

We had a 30 min wait to get in for happy hour. The wait was worth it. Food was delicious especially the chicken bites. We were expecting standard fried chicken nuggets or strips - what a got was an amazing and delicious saucy chicken dish that was the star of the evening!!! The pizzas were very good as were the garlic. Truffle fries. The beer was just good - but we are spoiled to live in a place in BC that has some of the best craft brews ever, so the beer here fell short of our normal experiences. Still very good though. We absolutely recommend coming here especially during happy hour when appies are half off and pizzas are $13. Beer is also $2 off at that time. Edit: We came back for a second visit a few days later. We specifically requested shade. Without it we would not have stayed as we were over sunned for the day. They put us at a table that started as shade but was full sun after only 5-10 minutes. Luckily our food came quickly and we are and ran. We were only there for maybe 30 minutes all in and got takeout containers for our food as we needed out of the sun. There were several tables inside that were vacant the entire time we were there. We should have asked to move but didn’t. Our bad I suppose. Had we been at a proper shady table we not only would have been happier, stayed longer, and had more drinks, I would not have felt compelled to reduce my rating from 5 down to 4 stars. If they were busy and full sun was all that was available I’d understand but we would have left. Very unfortunate second visit. At least the food was still very good.

What a neat brewery! It's a little "fancier" then most breweries I am used to, but still fit in okay in my jeans and crop top. It is quite large and had a great menu, both drinks and food. My husband opted to try an IPA flight and like 3 out of his 4 choices. I didn't end up drinking anything that evening, but we ordered the nachos with chicken and the huli huli chicken bites to share. Both portions were gigantic, and we had leftover lunch for the next two days. The huli chicken was good, it had a bit of a curry flavor to it, but the nachos were the winner of the evening. We would have loved to come back and just play some games on their gorgeous outdoor patio but unfortunately ran out of time during our week on the island. If we find ourselves in the area again, we will most definitely be back. I recommend making a reservation if you are going for dinner. We were seated fairly quickly at the bar since it was just the two of us, but most walk-up's people had a bit of a wait.

Yelp

What a beautiful place to have lunch or dinner. We came in for a drink and realized it was happy hour 3pm-5pm (I think) the waitress was very sweet while we figured out what we were going to order. We stayed a little later because there was live music at 6pm. Definitely would recommend checking it out.

Jeff E.

Yelp

Once we got to the bar, we had a great experience. BUT... We (a party of two) were told, after getting ID'd and getting our bracelets, that we would have to wait 20-25 minutes to be seated. OK. We'll just grab a drink at the bar while we wait. No. It is a 20-25 minute wait even if you are just going to the bar. Ridiculous, but we wait. When we are finally granted access to the promised land, there are no fewer than 15 bar stools open and at least 1/3 of the tables were open as well. I won't be back. If there is a staffing issue, the hostess stand should inform the customer. What happened to us was not a one off after reading the other reviews.

something's still Brewing Nearly 10 years after my original visit, I recently made my way back to Maui Brewing. NOTES 1. Restauant is now open (it was not during my 1st visit). 2. Gift shop on site. 3. Indoor, outdoor, and bar seating available. The outdoor area is covered, and it looks like the indoor area can be contained and/or separated if needed. 4. The walls are "decorated" with various beer barrels in various positions. We arrived just after opening (11:00am) on a recent weekday. We were seated immediately in the indoor space. After looking over their menu, we ordered the nachos to start, while I ordered the fish tacos, and my 2 friends chose the Korean chicken Sando.. We ordered beers from their seasonal menu to complete the meal. The food was good honestly; pretty much on par with their Kailua, Oahu location (which I have been to multiple times). SERVICE Our server was a polite, friendly and laid back young man. He was very nice and we appreciated his patience while we perused the menu. He checked on us periodically throughout the meal. BOTTOM LINE It was good to see how much growth Maui Brewing has accomplished. Recommended.

I've dropped into Maui Brewing Company several times to wet my whistle with one of their perfect pours, but I want to share the most memorable visit. We heard, on the coconut wireless, that 5 time CMA Artist of the Year Jenee Fleenor would be performing there. She happened to be on island for a Kimokeo Foundation fundraiser and she dropped in to Maui Brewing with her fiddle and brought her friend Mike Rogers to accompany her on guitar. They entertained us with several lively songs. Oh, and we also enjoyed a plate of delicious nachos and a couple of Coconut Hiwa Porters.

Yelp

Good spot for food and their beers. We tried the huli huli chicken bites as a snack and I found it really tasty. A much better option than eating wings. We also tried one of their pizzas which wasn't terrible. I wouldn't call it great but it was good. We also grabbed a dinner here once and tried the ribs. It was a very generous portion and could be shared with another person. The staff were mostly friendly. Only had one associate whom we felt was not very welcoming. And unfortunately, their post was at the host stand and was the first face to greet guests. Otherwise, no complaints from everybody else after a total of three visits. I would recommend this place to others. It's dog and kid friendly, so the entire family can be present.

I love a good hazy IPA and it's pretty hard to crack the top of my list. Kent Falls Brewery [Kent, CT], Other Half Brewery [Brooklyn, NY], and now, Maui Brewing Company, all thanks to the Mango Stickee Rice IPA, make up my top three. (There are a lot of honorable mentions, including Maine Beer Company [Freeport, ME] and Departed Soles [Jersey City, NJ] but let's focus on Hawaii for now.) The MSR was probably the smoothest IPA I've ever had, likely thanks to whatever the rice does to the brew itself. I tried some others, also good, but this one stuck out by a mile. The brewery itself is absolutely gigantic, and while we did not have any food while we were here, plenty of people were eating and everything looked good. I did see a lot of gigantic pretzels coming out, so that's probably a crowd favorite. There is also a merch store on the way out, and I did get myself a nice bright orange Yeti-type mug that I use every day for my iced coffee. You can also get cans, and I definitely brought some MSR back to the resort with me. If you like beer and are in the area, this is a must stop.

We visited twice on our vacation. Second time was because we couldn't find anyone broadcasting the Buffalo Bills game! First time we just had drinks and used their nice setup outside to play cornhole. During the game, we ordered lunch and I got a burger and my husband got fish and chips. I would have preferred a third piece of fish to be included, but both items were very good and typical bar food. I tried the seltzer sampler and hubby had a beer sampler.

Who would have thought that a brewery would be so popular in the land of Tiki drinks . Maui Brewing company came highly recommended and so we had to give them a visit to see it for ourselves. The space is huge and can be a great spot for parties and events as well as big groups .Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors . We sat at the bar and were instantly attended. We shared a flight and a pizza and despite initially thinking we might order more later , felt that the meal was sufficient for two people . The staff was fantastic and run a tight ship .Between take-out orders, multiple customers and stocking up they also took care to check up on us frequently .The Pizza was fantastic and the beer even better . The parking lot just like the premises is huge .

Great place to relax and enjoy a brew after a day at the beach! Lots of choices for food and drinks usually has entertainment and a great happy hour. Service is quick restaurant/bar areas inside under a shelter and outside. Lots of parking and easy to find in Kihei tech park area.

Yelp

Decent food, good beer. On a windy night though, you better have a jacket. It gets cold quick! We stopped here twice on our trip, and the first night ordered the fish tacos. I cannot recommend NOT ordering something more. They were tough, and dry. Two people in our group ordered them, we both had the same experience. The mango sticky rice beer was good! The second time, I ordered the lychee cocktail and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Both were really good! The shrimp pasta was fine. Shrimp was good, pasta was eh. There's a very cute brewery cat running around. Staff was friendly, but kitchen needs work. One of our entrees wasn't brought out until nearly 20 minutes after the rest...

Gracie G.

Yelp

Pretty decent food, but the same types you'd find absolutely anywhere. Our waitress seemed very impatient with us right off the bat, which didn't make for a great experience. The location is pretty, and the inside-outside was enjoyable. No one in my party felt what they ate was impressive, and the outside games were extremely lack luster. Compared to other restaurants in Maui, this one fell flat. The roaming chickens were fun! (But not when dogs were around)

I have a new favorite place on the island and it's Maui Brewing Co. Stopped in yesterday for cocktails and appetizers. Great service and bartender! Our server was darling and attentive. I wish I knew his name. We had the pretzel bites that came with a IPA cheese sauce and chili fries both tasty. For drinks hubby had the Waimea Red Ale which he enjoyed. I had a Mai Tai, actually 2 they were that good. The first Mai Tai had a pineapple whip as the floater. Good but the second drink without the whip was so much better! Did I mention they have a great bartender? Beautiful facility with outdoor seating with games for the kids. Lovely gift shop area with a darling girl at the register. Great experience!

Debora L.

Yelp

Solid beers, lots of food offerings typical of a brewery (fries, fish and chips, pizza, salads, and a cast iron cookie thing too with vanilla ice cream). Kids liked the soft pretzel bites with cheddar dip. Large seating area, can get windy, service sometimes you have to flag down or ask for utensils, plates etc. clean bathrooms.

Ryan B.

Yelp

Food: Chicken bacon ranch was delicious! Pizza was 10/10 and the kids loved the corn dogs (eye roll) À la carte type of joint. Sandwiches just come as is, sides are extra. Makes for an expensive meal. Drink: Mai Tai was delicious and flavorful with the pineapple foam on top!!! Careful, they sneak up on ya :) Service: we went during a busy time so waited about 35 minutes for a table but plenty of room to hang and the kids can run around. Once at the table our every need was taken care of. Ambiance: amazing setup. Cornhole, beer, games, live music!! What more could you ask for.

Samantha C.

Yelp

Maui brewing is epic. A must go place for tourists (I bring all relatives and visitors). A friendly, laid back place with tons of seating and food/drink options. As someone who lives here I mostly just go for the drinks because I feel the food is 3/5 stars Beer garden is so fun with corn hole and jenga. Live music is cute but if you're trying to have a conversation just ask to be sat farther from the music it can help loud!! Fabulous vibes overall.

Annie T.

Yelp

Location: easy to find with small parking lot. Has a lot of outdoor lights hung outside. There's cornhole games for the kids and plenty of seating on the inside. The shoyu edamame was delicious paired with a flight of 4. There's some vegetarian options too which was cool. Will was our server and was great!

Eldridge M.

Yelp

This wasn't my wife and I's first time here but it was the first time we came with a young child (bringing our 4 year old). You don't always assume a Brewery is family friendly but it is here! We had no issues bringing our 4 year old with us and she enjoyed the live music and the kids menu. We had a reservation which helped with our wait time and did some pre meal drinking on the front patio while waiting for our seat to be ready. I had a few different beers and hard to name them all but you'll enjoy whatever your beer flavor profile is. The food was delicious and pro tip- go on a night where there is live music.

Leslie S.

Yelp

Such a cool place! Nice lounging area, live music, great drinks! Appetizers were vey yummy! We had the Edamame and the Buffalo Chicken Dip! Loved that it came with beautiful vegetables and chips! For dinner: pizza! Nice dough, and fun toppings. My favorite was the Hunter, that pork was SOO GOOD! Caesar Salad with Shrimp.... Only reason we didn't give 5 stars. That dish needs more love! Small salad with 4 shrimp. That were seasoned ok... but could have been more. Definitely not a meal. Dessert Cookie A La Mode- all great things! Classic dessert. Root-beer Float- Classic and so good! We had great service, loved the decorations, enjoyed the music and bar offerings. Definitely stop in!

James P.

Yelp

They revamped the menu for the New Year apparently with 5 entrees, two burgers... weak selection. Server agreed. Nice industrial feel to the place- open air and comfortable. Ordered the 4 6oz beer variety special served on an awkward piece of wood which the server dropped trying to put it on the table- not her fault- just a really bad design. Freshest item on the nachos was the sour cream; the cheese was hard and firmed-up like the plate had been under a warmer for 30 minutes... just awful. Tastiest item was the kiddie portion of chicken fingers for my son. This was Christmas Eve btw. We live in Kihei... not going back.

Cassandra S.

Yelp

Great venue!!! Wow. We were so surprised this place is so large and beautiful when we drove up. It has a massive outdoor space which is beautifully set up with market lights everywhere, turf, open patio space, covered pergola space, umbrellas, lawn games, and attached to a large open air restaurant space with kegs lining one wall. The service was friendly and quick. We just came in for beers but the food looked good as well. We got 2 beers that were both light and refreshing! The hops were also very good. Overall, lovely spot for a big group or a small date night to try some beers. Would definitely come here in the evening or night to enjoy the ambiance.

Prag R.

Yelp

Great food, good music, cool outdoor space - can anything go wrong? While visiting Maui, we came here twice, we're so impressed with the Lahaina location that we didn't want to miss their flagship store in Kihei. We ordered Origami and Brewmaster Pizzas, Beet Hummus, and Korean Fried Sando- all of them were amazing! Their ranch was so fresh and yum, I liked it so much, got to know from our server that's made in house, wish they sold it, haha! We got a couple of their locally crafted beers, don't miss the pineapple mana wheat!

Cindy R.

Food was pretty good nothing outstanding to me but the beer paired well with it. Service was just ok in my opinion but everyone working looked to be very young and new. Ambiance is really cool as we sat inside because at lunch it was too hot and sunny to eat outside.

De A.

Yelp

Service was interesting! I've not been back in awhile and they now have order from a QR code convenience stamp. It's common place since COVID, but still kind of cool. My niece preferred a "human", and she wrangled one up, because she had questions. All the service staff smiled and were very friendly. The atmosphere of the Maui Brewing company is outstanding, with it's open air patio, sunset striking the metal and beams of the restaurant, and just the overall almost clubby vibe of the place. Wonderful place to take people new to Maui! I am not a beer drinker, but my neice and her date had a sampling or flight of mini beers and enjoyed themselves. The food is pretty good, but some things to note: their hummus is not hummus. It's bean spread, beautifully colored with beet. The presentation was amazing. Hummus requires tahini, and with no tahini, you're looking at bean dip. Hey, learned something new while scrolling around: in France, there is hummus sans tahini but it has its own name: Poichichade, also known as céserade. It's a chickpea puree, but without tahini. So, they are serving céserade. I wish they knew that. It would be cool marketing. Another thing: order their bbq pulled pork with extra barbecue sauce on the side. This was advice from my neice's human server, and apparently, it was the bomb decision! I'd come again.

Our Sunday morning brunch experience at Maui Brewing Company - Kailua was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in a spacious location, the brewery offered a welcoming ambiance that was perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family. As we perused the menu, we were drawn to an enticing array of dishes, ultimately settling on the Chilaquiles, Apple Banana Foster Pancakes, and Guava BBQ Pork Eggs Benedict. Each dish exceeded our expectations, delivering a burst of flavor that left our taste buds dancing with delight. The Chilaquiles, while delicious, could have benefited from a bit more sauce to elevate the dish further. One of the highlights of our visit was the variety of drinks available, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Whether it was a refreshing craft beer or a specialty cocktail, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The staff deserves commendation for their attentiveness and hospitality. Our bartender, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met, checking in regularly and enhancing our overall experience. In conclusion, Maui Brewing Company - Kailua is a must-visit for brunch enthusiasts and beer lovers alike. With its delicious food, diverse drink selection, spacious location, and top-notch service, it's a place that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Despite a minor critique about the Chilaquiles, the overall consensus is clear: Maui Brewing Company - Kailua is a gem worth discovering.

Yelp

This place is great! Food was delicious! We had the cheddar burger and chicken nachos and both were tasty. They really loaded the nachos with chicken. The beer was so good. My favorite was the OMFG. We were sat outside and were able to watch their scheduled artist perform. It was a beautiful evening with light winds. Service was great too. They forgot about our beer at first so that took a bit longer. Other than that, it was a lovely experience.

Finally went to the location in Maui! I had previously went to their location in Waikiki in 2018. Very glad to be back but this time where they originated from. This location is huge that offers nightly live music (spoiler alert-- it's good!). They have a lot of seating, but it does get packed. Thankfully on a Tuesday night, my group and I only waited around twenty minutes. We tried to get a glimpse of the sunset here, but the view isn't the best. My family and I shared a BBQ special while trying out a huge chunk of their drinks. They offer flights or individual 4oz tasters. I'm not too fond of their Japanese lager. My favorite still stands as Bottle Logic's Hanamachi with Harland Brewing as a great second. Id say most of their beers are either drinkable or delicious. I only had one that I didn't dare finish. My favorites were part of the seasonal rotations. Definitely a must go for beer enthusiasts!

*Parking: There's a big lot on site. *Experience: We came on a Saturday night and found it to be quite empty. We arrived around 8:30pm and found that the live music has already ended. I do appreciate this place opening later than most restaurants. You scan the QR code and can open your own tab on your phone! This makes "splitting the bill" non-existent as everyone can just order on their own. If you need assistance, you can still order from the bar, the traditional method! There's outdoors and indoors seating for you to choose from. In the outdoor area, they have some lawn games for a nice afternoon out! *Drinks: My husband got a flight of various beers and didn't like any of them. This was quite shocking given that this is a brewery. My sister got a Mai Tai and that was delicious! I also really liked their sloshies. We also got a root beer float and it was very sad. The ice cream came out half melted so when we poured in the root beer, which was only semi-cold, the ice cream became non-existent.

Tina K.

Yelp

Loved this beautiful brewery. Its modern and huge - large indoor dining area, store, outdoor beer garden, and outdoor seating area. Service was good and food was great - fresh and healthy options. One thing to note-Their ranch is amazing! They have a variety of beers on tap and were featuring a few from modern times.

Mitchell S.

Yelp

Idk if it was the ocean and island air, but this place was magical. The beer selection was great with everything from kombucha and seltzer to double IPA. The food was tasty with a fairly large serving. What was impressive was the ambiance and the live music. It was cozy and the cherry on top of a nice getaway. 4 stars because our waiter literally didn't care about our group and was dismissive toward us. Otherwise, would happily return!

Carina E.

Yelp

The nachos were huge! Really hot and more than enough for 2-4 people. The boneless chicken bites are crispy and just yum. I ordered the True North. A concoction of lavender from a special farm. The outcome is pure deliciousness. . Speaking of honey, my honey ordered the Imperial Coconut Porter, just tapped this morning . He soundly pronounced it "amazing"! Our barkeep, Paul, was certainly friendly and knowledgeable. So to my mind, if you are in Kihei,HI, and are looking for a brewery, I suggest Maui Brewing Company. Paul and Rachel, thanks for the military discount. That was such a surprise to find out about. Mahalo.

Gillian E.

Yelp

I have been here 4 times in the last 1.5 months because of all the visitors I've had lol. A great place for beer lovers!! It can be too windy when sitting outside but inside is so open that it is the same experience so I recommend sitting there. This most recent round I got The Hunter pizza and buffalo chicken dip and, even as a spice lover, the combination if the 2 was too much spice with no relief. I wish they didn't take their jalapeno burger off the menu.

Vicki M.

Yelp

Great service! The 30 minute wait ended up only being 20 at the most. It was too warm to sit outside. The food was delicious. The service was good even though they were very, very busy. Great drinks as well, I had beer and my sister a cocktail. after the meal, we ordered drinks and sat outside where they had cornhole, comfortable seating and family atmosphere. Live music started around 9:30 PM. We were told it's a great place to watch the sunset and I'm sure it is.

Marshall G.

Yelp

Well, this barely worked out. The business model is a QR code on the table center. Mmm If there is one. You have to wear a paper bracelet to show You can order alcohol. The four of us are way beyond 50 years. Me by over 25 years more. So silly.... So you pay on his iPad by your card. And put in your phone to get a receipt. But it wouldn't take an out of state number. So I had to ask for a paper receipt to figure the tip. Our waiter didn't like that request, but he did like the cash tip. This time I had fish n chips. Very few chips, like last time, and the fish was too wet. I left the over dry Cole slaw behind untouched. This could be a great place, but I'm pretty sure I can find a better way to drop 80.00 for a casual dinner for 2. I think the other couple had a similar bill. The iPad took his phone number so no problem.

We just recently had our wedding welcome party here and booked their tasting room at the Kihei location. This event was incredible. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The staff were incredible from the time we arrived and made everything so easy for our guests. Loved being able to play our own music. Couldn't have asked for a better venue to have our wedding welcome party!!

Sarah C.

Yelp

Great place to go hang out for awhile, meet up with friends and bring the kinds. Large outdoor space with lots of tables, lawn games, and space for milling. Also indoor seating as well. So many beers to choose from. I tried a few and generally thought they were solid. I think the session IPA was my favorite. None were super hoppy which is kinda how I roll these days, but I would say all were well refined and solidly made. Apparently the cocktails are good too. Food didn't blow me away but was decent. The wings could have been a bit crispier. Pizza was decent. Avocado on the kale salad could have been riper. I'd say food is probably 3 stars. But I will say that there are a lot of options so good for people with various tastes - including a kids menu. It's a QR code order system, which honestly I find to be a little annoying in general, and also have seen totally fail at other places, but I will say it worked well here. The food and drinks came out really quickly, and despite the fact we didn't have a designated wait person, there were plenty of staff to help with things we needed. Also makes splitting bills really easy and no pressure to order everything you need at one time. We arrived at like 4:30, but when we left a little after 6 it seemed like there was a really long line to be seated? Watch out?k

Theresa S.

Yelp

A much needed laid back vibe. We popped in for dinner and it was PACKED. Only ended up having to wait 20ish min for table which wasn't bad. They have tons of outdoor seating but it was a bit hot so we needed that AC. The beers were delicious. Some standouts were the Sunshine girl (a classic),Imperial Coconut Porter ( for all my IPA fans), and the POG Sour because sour beer is kinda good (in my opinion lol). For starters we had the nachos which were massive and gave the most generous portion of guacamole that I've ever gotten in a restaurant. The cheeseburgers and pizza were also really good. Great spot to hang out and family friendly too. Also be on the lookout for chicken and cat sightings!

Everything was great! The happy hour options are incredible. We came here multiple times when we were visiting and will definitely be coming back again. Service was awesome, servers and everyone was super friendly. We brought our baby too and it's really nice when restaurants have a changing table. That might not matter to most people, but it makes all the difference, so we don't have to run out to the car for a diaper change.

The experience as a whole was sub par. This is the second time we have visited this spot. The food was terrible. We just went in to munch a little, have a beer, and watch the sunset. The nachos, which the server recommended with added chicken were stuck together in one solid piece. The cheese was both not melted on the inside, while coagulated together from sitting under the heat lamp. You could pick up the entire plate together as one piece. When I addressed this with our server and showed her the cubes of cheese unmelted she gave me attitude as if she cooked it and then corrected me in my disgust of the food being served this way. She avoided us the rest of the night. The manager came to the table and offered us another item and a beer to make up for the attitude, terrible service and food quality. Then when I stopped the server to ask for the check she questioned me as to the items being comped off the bill. As a chain restaurant we expected the food to not be exactly quality, but what could have been a nice experience turned out terrible with absolute attitude and outright rudeness of this server. I will never visit there again. The manager was very apologetic and kind, but the server literally side eyed me the whole time. I'm greatly disappointed because the location is amazingly beautiful with picturesque panoramic views of the ocean.

Maui Brewing Company is a must visit in Maui! They have a great selection of beers, appetizers, and plates. If you don't like beer, they also serve cocktails. We came around 7pm while the sun was setting and we were able to watch a live singer perform. Their appetizers are so big and great to share. There were also 2 friendly cats that walked over to each table for pets and cuddles!!

This place is a must for family with kids, when you have a big group or even a small group. The food is amazing and the beers, very good. Love that they have varieties. Happy hour is awesome too and I love that they have outdoor games to check out! And service is great!!!

I didn't think this place would be all that based on my experience in Oahu. I was wrong was pre judging this place and I was glad I came. It was happy hour and this place was so packed. All ages and different seating options. I opted to sit inside with my bf because the sun was scorching hot outside. They have a variety of beer and amazing cocktails. The most surprising of all was that they have good whiskey and gin made in-house. The mixed drinks were delicious. I even got fries and they did not disappoint. Service was top notch. They have a little gift shop in front and Linda was so pleasant! I got a cup to take home and got to try the gin before buying.

Good service, food relatively came quick, great place for large groups. Order through scan code on your tables and including payment done on your phone. Impersonal but efficient.

Food was okay! Nothing crazy but the service was amazing! Every 5 mins both servers asked if we needed anything, and the vibe was cool! Drinks were solid!
